Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In 1993, it was named one of the top 10 gourmet restaurants in the world by the New York Times.

There is a painting at the door of this store, which reads Feng Shen Junlang 'Din Tai Fung Oil Company'

"This word is a bit like Mr. Taiping's. Wang Yao glanced at it and asked in a low voice.

"The little brother is really extraordinary in his eyes. "Lu An Zengzan's "official Taiping old man, Yu Youren's word, is the signboard of the store. ”

At that time, Yu Youren's cursive script was known as the living Zhang Xu, who was very famous in the calligraphy world, and integrated the cursive script into a book, and created the "Standard Cursive" thousand characters, leaving a valuable new perspective.

At the same time, he is also an important figure in the history of modern education, and has served as the president of Fudan University, Pearl University, Nantong University, etc.

Wang Yao looked at this not too big storefront, the table has traces of time, and there are all kinds of literati calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, which makes people feel a little interesting, food and calligraphy and painting, this boss is an interesting person, "Why don't there be many people in the store?"

"The boss heard that Mr. Qigong was coming, and he deliberately closed for half a day to entertain. Lu An laughed.

"It's too expensive, it's delaying other people's voices. Mr. Qigong was stunned.

"If there is a new store, it doesn't matter, and it is important for the gentleman to eat well. Lu An said with a smile.

A beautiful waiter in a cheongsam handed over the menu and teapot, and Lu An made the tea himself.

Wang Yao looked at the menu, all of them were very simple foods, such as steamed buns, more than a dozen kinds, several kinds of zongzi, and muffin cakes. There are more than a dozen kinds of noodles, as well as wonton soup, vermicelli soup and the like, adding up to dozens of kinds, Wang Yao thought about it and hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Lu Anji was very good at observing words, and when he saw Wang Yao's hesitation, he asked with a smile.

"I want to taste it, isn't it too troublesome?" Wang Yao said with some embarrassment.

Lu Anleng paused for a moment and said with a smile, "Of course not, as long as there is no waste of food, the little brother can order some." ”

"Then trouble Mr. Lu. Wang Yao smiled shyly and closed the menu.

"Do you want fried rice and noodles?" Lu An thought that Wang Yao was just saying it casually, but he didn't expect it.

"This kid is more able to eat, and he is in trouble with the master in the back kitchen. Mr. Qigong smiled, "I've ordered it, try it all." ”

"Alas, no problem. Lu An was stunned, smiled and put away the menu and said a few words to the waiter.

The beautiful waiter looked at Wang Yao strangely, and returned to the back kitchen with the menu.

"Mr. Qi Gong can come to our school to give a lecture, and the teachers and students have been looking forward to it for a long time. Lu Ann smiled as he sat down.

"I've always wanted to come, but I haven't had much time. Mr. Qigong smiled, "The development of Baodao is getting better and better." ”

"No, in recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have occurred. Lu An sighed, "The economy is sluggish." ”

"It's good to look at people's spirits. Mr. Qi Gong smiled.

"Brother Wang followed Mr. Qigong on a study tour?" Lu An smiled and looked at Wang Yao, who was pondering the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

"Ahh Wang Yao smiled.

"What kind of knowledge?" Lu An asked with a smile.

"He's a student of opera. Mr. Qigong replied for Wang Yao, "I'll take him to see the drama on our side." ”

"Oh, no wonder the appearance is extraordinary. Lu An raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I used to like to listen to operas, but in recent years, I have listened to pop songs." ”

Wang Yao smiled: "I also listen to pop songs. ”

Lu An's eyes flashed with a hint of color, and he smiled, "Yes, opera is good, but it is not as fresh as those Western things, it may be time for transformation." ”

Wang Yao nodded with a smile and looked at the waiter behind him, "The dish is here." ”

Dozens of dishes were served in batches, Wang Yao tasted Mr. Qigong first, to see what he liked to eat, and swallowed the rest into his stomach, Lu An and those waiters who watched were surprised, and then even the masters in the back kitchen came out.

The plates are really half a person high.

"Thank you for your food. Seeing that Wang Yao had almost eaten, Mr. Qigong got up and arched his hand to the cooks in the back kitchen.

"You're welcome, but this little brother, is it really okay?" the head chef was a tall uncle, looking at Wang Yao and asking with some curiosity.

Wang Yao wiped his mouth and arched his hand, "I smiled, I was born to eat." ”

"It's our honor to meet customers who can eat," the head chef smiled, "Welcome to the next time." ”

After breakfast, and took a turn on the streets of Treasure Island, Lu An is a very good tour guide, and he speaks very well, which will not make people feel annoying, but Wang Yao always feels that this person seems to have some other purpose.

Finally went around to Baodao University, there was a banner hanging at the spacious school gate, with a welcome slogan written on it, and after the car drove in, there were students and reporters on both sides to greet and take pictures, Wang Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, this posture, how does it look like a press conference.

Wang Yao glanced at Mr. Qigong, and saw that his expression was not very natural, obviously he didn't know that there was a reporter here.

"Mr. Lu, why is there such a big show?" Wang Yao asked with a smile.

"Mr. Qigong's visit to the island is, of course, a big deal. Lu An smiled, and the car stopped in front of the school building, "It's here." ”

Wang Yao frowned slightly, and got out of the car with Mr. Qigong, and a group of school leaders stood at the door of the teaching building, and walked down to greet Mr. Qigong warmly, and the flashing lights made Wang Yao a little disliked.

Passing through the teaching building that welcomed the mezzanine, to the lecture hall, the teachers went to organize the students to sit down, the reporters were setting up positions under the stage, Mr. Qigong chatted with the principal, Wang Yao looked at the formation, and thought to himself, is there someone giving a speech on the treasure island, and the pomp is so big?

I don't know why, Wang Yao always felt that something was wrong.

After preparing for a while, the auditorium gradually quieted down, and the principals and they came to the stage to speak, with Mr. Qigong and Wang Yao in the audience.

"Something seems wrong. Mr. Qigong whispered to Wang Yao in German.

Wang Yao was stunned and replied in German, "You also found out?"

"So many reporters, if something happens, don't act rashly. As soon as Mr. Qigong finished speaking, he was greeted by the principal.

Wang Yao stood behind and watched quietly.

This time, Mr. Qigong was invited by Baodao University to give a lecture on the topic of 'Future', and Mr. Qigong, who has many years of teaching experience, was able to give a speech in exchange for great applause.

The old gentleman stood on the stage and spoke for more than an hour, and Wang Yao found that the old gentleman was a little unable to stand, but the school leaders and teachers next to the podium were all sitting in their positions, and the students in the audience were also sitting in their positions.

In the huge auditorium, only Mr. Wang Yao and Mr. Qi Gong, and some reporters are standing, in all fairness, an old gentleman who is nearly 90 years old is standing on the stage, although he looks very tough, but a young man will have sore legs if he stands for an hour, let alone an old man.

Wang Yao felt a little pressed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, because the speech was about to end.

"Thank you very much Mr. Qi Gong for your speech, I believe that this speech is an important turning point in the lives of all of you, from the experience of an elder who has lived for three dynasties. The host is Lu An, and after Mr. Qigong finished speaking, he came to the stage and said with a smile, "Next is the question session, please raise your hands in an orderly manner." ”

Wang Yao frowned, looking at Mr. Qigong's already trembling figure, how could there be this question session?

"Hello Mr. Qigong, I am a junior student, and I am studying literature. "The first questioner was a boy with glasses.

"Hello. Mr. Qigong nodded kindly.

"I've heard that students in the mainland don't know traditional Chinese, do you think this situation is normal?" the boy asked.

This question made Wang Yao and Mr. Qi Gong's hearts beat at the same time, and they looked at the cameras in the audience, as if they understood the strangeness of this speech.

"All students in the liberal arts in mainland China learn traditional Chinese characters, but science and engineering students don't necessarily learn because they may not have that much time. Mr. Qigong replied with a smile.

Lu An and other school leaders looked sideways at the same time, and Mr. Qi Gong answered this question in a light-hearted manner, which cannot be described as witty.

"But our students in Baodao have been learning traditional Chinese since they were young, and they don't have any essays and sciences. The boy continued.

"First of all, the text is used to record and carry the language, there have been many words in Chinese history, traditional Chinese characters are just one of them, and the simplified Chinese characters popularized in the mainland are just one of them, in terms of practicality, traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters, the function is the same. Mr. Qigong smiled, "So there is nothing good or bad about learning traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese characters, this is a choice." ”

Mr. Qi Gong's answer was seamless, but the boy was still a little unwilling, "But as an heir of Chinese culture, he can't even inherit ancient Chinese characters, and isn't it superfluous to learn simplified Chinese characters from modern times?"

"You have a good question. Mr. Qigong smiled, turned around and walked to the blackboard behind him, and wrote down a line of words, which is a series of changes from the oracle bone inscription of the word 'Wen' to the official script, "It's all ancient characters, do you want to learn it?"

There was a whisper from the audience.

"But why do you want to promote simplified Chinese?" the boy continued, "Isn't it good to choose one to promote?" and how troublesome is it to continue to create?"

"I don't know how to answer this question, I think it may be a need for progress, and the progress of every era begins with words and money. Mr. Qigong smiled, "As for the responsibility of inheriting ancient characters, it will be handed over to the shoulders of a child of the literature department like you, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry." ”

"Mr. Qi Gong is right, don't stick to these places, although we don't need to learn simplified Chinese characters to understand, but it can't be ruled out that simplified Chinese characters are a progressive need of the times. Lu An said with a smile.

Mr. Qigong frowned slightly, and felt that this seemed a little weird, as if he was still belittling simplified Chinese characters.
