Chapter 142: Female Art

In the dining room, the wooden floor is polished and shining, without too much furnishings, but exudes a natural ancient charm, and the girls sit at the dining table one by one, and each person shares a dining table, which is generous and decent.

The order of the seats is also extremely elegant, and the front position is naturally that of Mama Wu of Zhenyuan, then the discipline of each division, then the teaching assistant, and then the purple army of the student union.

The representative color of the student council is purple, so even the color of the curly skirt is a special purple, which is particularly conspicuous and luxurious in the plain color.

After Mama Wu sat down, she signaled that the food could be served, the door curtain was opened, and dozens of young women dressed in curved robes walked out from inside, with graceful postures, although they were holding things, their gait was light, their feet were not exposed, and their every move was elegant.

Just from their proper posture, it can be seen that they must have been trained for a long time, and it is impossible to find the slightest difference.

And these girls are not the maids of Luoxi Academy, judging from the plain curly clothes they are wearing, they are students of Nanhua College.

It is said that I have been in the same school for a year, and although not everyone is familiar with it, at least they are all familiar with each other.

But now everyone is dressed in a curved dress, combed the same bun, and painted the same makeup, less maverick and personality in school, and more graceful and classical beauty, as if everyone has changed, but I don't recognize anyone.

The girls pass the meal to each person on several sides, and each person picks up the food according to the amount he can eat, and must eat all the food that is caught on his table, which is regarded as the greatest respect for the person who cooks the food.

There is also a lot of attention to when sandwiching food, where the light meal is furnished, the bone-in dishes are placed on the left, and the cut pure meat is placed on the right. Dry food dishes are placed on the left hand side of the person, and soup is placed on the right hand side. Dried meat, beef breast, etc., are bent on the left and straight on the right. Grilled fish, with the tail facing the guests.

After everyone sandwiched the food, Mama Wu said: "Every time I eat, I will remember the difficulty of the crops." Every garment is thought of the hard work of weaving. Feel the gift of all things, know the hard work of cooking, take what you need, don't be greedy and forgetful. ”

After speaking, all the girls recite the previous sentence together before eating.

There are also many rules when dining, in order to deepen the rules that everyone needs to abide by when eating, the grandmother of the dining hall will stand sideways next to the desk and always remind: "You can't eat together, you don't choose your hands when you eat together, you don't fight for rice, you don't put on food, you don't sing songs, you don't eat food, you don't bite bones." Don't oppose fish meat, don't throw dog bones. No solid gain, no rice, no rice with chopsticks, no soup, no piercing. The guest soup, the host can't cook. The guest apologized, and the host resigned. Wet flesh tooth decision, in the internal tooth decision. Don't worry. Pawn meal, the guest kneels in front of him, and the person who withdraws the meal to give the appearance, the host resigns to the guest, and then the guest sits. ”

This quote is from the Book of Rites. Qu Li" means: When everyone eats together, they should not only care about eating enough. If you eat with others, check the cleanliness of your hands. Don't rub the rice balls with your hands, don't put excess rice in the pot, don't drink to the brim, don't eat with a snort, don't gnaw on the bones, don't put the bitten fish back in the bowl, and don't throw the meat bones to the dog. Don't eat food, don't stir up hot rice, eat steamed rice with your hands instead of a chopstick, don't gulp soup, and don't mix soup in front of your host. Don't pick your teeth in public, and don't drink the bolognese.

This kind of education model can be described as memorable......

A person's upbringing and etiquette are usually reflected by some inadvertent details and behaviors, and the quality of eating can be seen from the side of a person's etiquette.

There are many rules handed down by the ancients for dining rituals, but in general, dining rituals arise from eating, and at the same time, eating activities are strictly restricted.

When eating, you must take the elders first, the elders can only eat after moving chopsticks, you must close your mouth and chew when eating, do not open your mouth too wide, and do not make a sound, do not pick up vegetables from the middle or close to others, and do not turn over the dishes, do not clip too much at a time, do not be greedy and forgetful, and show greed. What you eat, don't spit it out. Do not make a collision sound between the spoon and the bowl.

Most of these rules are derived from family education, so a person's dining etiquette directly reflects the family education that the person receives.

The curriculum of Zhenyuan is mainly divided into eight categories: "Qin", "Chess", "Calligraphy", "Painting", "Female Red", "Medicinal Food", "Tea Ceremony" and "Flower Art".

These eight skills are collectively referred to here as "female arts".

The assessment of women's art is very strict and harsh, and the most fair and professional grandmothers in the chastity hospital are assessed, and the passing score is 85 points.

Although the children of Nanhua will study in the Daozhen Academy every year, until they graduate from high school, there is no college that has passed all eight female arts.

In such a society invaded by Western culture, girls have flamboyant personalities, advocating freedom, and their personalities are mixed with too much selfishness, willfulness, and arrogance.

But if you only think that the girls taught by Luoxi Academy are gentle and graceful, husband-oriented, submissive, and always need the protection of others, then you are very wrong.

While teaching traditional etiquette, Luoxi College attaches great importance to the formation of the girls' complete personality, emphasizing independence and autonomy.

All the students who can graduate from Luoxi College are well versed in the way of running a family, not only how to deal with complex interpersonal relationships, but also how to allocate resources and manage the business.

Therefore, the last assessment of graduation is to be in charge of the Zhenyuan for half a year, as small as the purchase of needles and threads, as large as the renovation and rectification of the courtyard, and the opening of new projects.

Girls who can stand out under such harsh conditions and successfully overcome all kinds of difficulties, and finally graduate from Luoxi College, will naturally become the first choice for the major clans to choose their daughters-in-law, and become the darlings of the Chinese upper class society.

In order to allow their children to make more connections in the upper class, every year, many daughters of wealthy businessmen and future wealthy families come to receive education, and the cost is staggering, but they still can't resist their yearning for Luoxi College.

It would be great if his daughter could be lucky enough to graduate from Luoxi, but what if she didn't graduate? Just studying under Luoxi has already made many people envious.

You must know that in the upper class of the Chinese community today, coming from Luoxi College has become an important indicator of a good education, and it is one of the passes to marry into a wealthy family.

This also makes many famous ladies proud of their daughters entering Luoxi Academy, and even if they have everything, they want their daughters to enter Luoxi Academy for further study.

After lunch, Yanran went to Huidetang for further study like the other girls.

Because she has never received education in this area, Qi Yuwei has become Yanran's sister, and everything must be agreed by Qi Yuwei.

Although Yan Ran was a little dissatisfied with such an arrangement, she was helpless.

She still remembers the scene on the first day of reporting, and Mama Wu repeatedly emphasized that they have no right to question and resist here.

Fortunately, Qi Yuwei is not as difficult to get along with as she imagined, in fact, she is the kind of person with a cold face and a warm heart, who does not talk much, but is honest and kind.

In the meal class, they need to complete a medicinal diet together, and they need a lot of taro, Yanran has never handled taro before, peeling the taro with her bare hands, and as a result, her hands are extremely itchy, her hands are red, and others cover their mouths and chuckle to see her laugh.

Qi Yuwei frowned when she saw it, pulled her to the stove without saying a word, put her hand on the stove and roasted it for a while, the effect was very obvious, it didn't hurt or itch.

"There are saponins in taro peels, which have a stimulating effect on the skin." Qi Yuwei said while flipping her hand.

"When processing taro, boil a pot of boiling water and throw it directly into the boiling water to boil. Once you have a hard time making a sharp stroke from top to bottom with a knife, you can effortlessly remove the outer skin and your hands will not itch. Qi Yuwei continued, not looking at her, and said to herself.

"Thank you!" Yan Ran said, her voice was very small, but both of them heard it very clearly.

"Don't thank me, if you get hurt, it will affect me." Qi Yuwei said, a trace of discomfort flashed in her expression, maybe she was just not used to being thanked by others.

For Qi Yuwei, although the matter of bringing a newcomer made her feel very depressed, she was lucky to bring Yanran.

If it is the kind of girl who is not stained with spring water, delicate and weak, and cries wolf at every turn because of her knife fingers, she has to go crazy.

It can be seen that Yanran's cooking skills are not bad, and there should be no less in and out of the kitchen at home, at least the knife skills are excellent, and there are only a few people in their class who can cut shredded potatoes thinner than hair.

Although I don't know how to match various ingredients and the pharmacology and medicinal properties of Chinese medicine, I know how to do it, clean the ingredients, clean the dishes, and the knife skills are very good.

Qi Yuwei and Yanran are the chefs, and the other is the first to work, and they cooperate very tacitly.

After a while, the black chicken soup was successfully baked, with a fragrant fragrance, delicious soup and tender meat, which was recognized by the grandmother of the medicinal diet, and it was not in vain that the two of them worked so hard.

Yanran wiped her sweat and looked at Qi Yuwei, who was calmly cleaning up the kitchenware, for a while.

This trip to Luoxi College gave her a deeper understanding of aristocratic education.

In the past, she thought that the so-called aristocratic academy must be extremely extravagant, and for those rich second generations who were lucky enough to be reincarnated, she subconsciously divided them into the ranks of gentlemen.

But they didn't know that for the sake of the word nobility, they also had to follow more etiquette and constraints, and began to receive rigorous training from an early age.

Aristocrats are valued in etiquette and inheritance. R1152
