The area of the school is too limited, even if it is a large playground, it can only accommodate about a thousand people, and there are thousands of people in the open space outside the school.

However, 300 students and their families can enter the school to visit, because they are about to enter the school to study, and today is the day for them to get familiar with the environment.

Li An opened his mouth and said: "Immediately confirm the identities of the three hundred students, and put them in the academy together with their families, this is too crowded outside, and many people have fallen into the pit." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it."

The subordinates answered, and asked a dozen people to start identifying the schoolchildren at the same time, and let them enter the school with their families to visit the place where they were about to study.

Most of the schoolchildren in the early stage were children of wealthy families, and their family members were relatively high-level, so it was a supreme honor for them to be able to enter the school opened by Datang to learn knowledge.

The children and their families who enter the school will turn around proudly and smile at the crowd outside to show their luck and nobility, and then they will enter the inside of the school curiously, and visit one place after another according to the direction guided by the officials of the Tang Dynasty, just like going to the scenic spot to visit the scenic spots in the future.

More than 300 schoolchildren and their families entered the school one after another, filling most of the school, these people together are thousands of people, and the crowd outside is more than inside, but suddenly there are more than 1,000 people, their crowding has become slightly better, those who fell into the garbage pit, all of them successfully climbed out of the garbage pit, dusted off the mud on their bodies, and continued to watch the excitement with interest.

The Datang Academy is something that the locals have never seen before, and besides, it is still such a large scale, and they have never seen it, so all the children and their families who entered the school were very happy, and they all felt that they were superior beings.

The children standing outside the school, as well as many adults watching the excitement, all had expressions of envy, jealousy and hatred, and the corners of many children's mouths drooled.

Yes, it's almost time to eat, in the kitchen of the Tang Academy, the braised pork has been stewed, and you can smell the intoxicating fragrance from three miles away, can children not be greedy.

Of course, the funds of the Datang Academy are limited, and it is impossible to let the schoolchildren eat braised pork at noon every day, but it is necessary to eat it in the first few days, to give the children a good impression, so that they do not reject coming to school, if there is no place to attract children, in case these children do not come to school, it will be very unfavorable to the interests of Datang in the future.

The parents of the schoolchildren who came with them were also able to have a meal, which was worth the trip, and they were very satisfied, not for this meal, but because their children were selected first, and they felt very honored.

At the beginning, Li An was still a little worried, feeling that these ordinary people were all the people of the original Lion Country, and Datang belonged to outsiders, and to a certain extent, it could also be said to be invaders, and if the local people rebelled against Datang, it would be more troublesome.

However, things are far from what Li An imagined, after the first few days of adaptation, the local people saw that the Tang soldiers did not offend them in the autumn, and also reduced their taxes, and gradually liked to let the Tang Dynasty rule, and no one organized resistance forces against the Tang Dynasty, which made Li An very pleased.

This shows that the common people just want to live well, as for who is ruled, the common people will not care, what is loyal and patriotic, as long as they have a full stomach, they can live well.

The meals in the kitchen are limited, and the number of tables can only meet the needs of 300 children at the same time, so even if the meals are ready, the visiting schoolchildren and their families can only eat separately, and it is more reliable to divide them into three batches.

As for the crowd outside the school, Ang Lee will also provide them with free white flour steamed buns, so that they can also be happy, especially many children, who are drooling anxiously, and they are too reluctant not to give them something to eat.

"Li Shilang, there are thousands of people outside, do you really want to prepare white-flour steamed buns for them?"

The eyes of the subordinates looking at the crowd were full of contempt, in the eyes of the noble Tang officials, these local poor people in front of them were born subordinates, born inferior people.

Li An said with a smile: "Since they have all come to see the excitement, and now it's time to eat, they should be given something to eat, one white-flour steamed bun per person is not much, adults and children are one, and they should be treated equally." ”

"Yes, Li Shilang."

The subordinates were very reluctant to arrange it.

The canteen area of the Datang Academy is still relatively large, in addition to cooking and eating, there is also a place to store food and fuel, the stored fuel is enough to use for half a month, and the stored food is enough for three hundred schoolchildren to eat for half a month.

Of course, this refers to grain, not vegetables and meat, because these things cannot be preserved, they must be sold on the same day, and only the goods such as rice and wheat can be stored.

Because there were too many people eating, the chef and the three subordinates in charge of cooking were really busy, and there were beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Li Ang added extra pressure to the chef to cook, and he knew that these guys would definitely be too busy, so he had already sent someone to mobilize his own cook.

More than 20 cooks were transferred in one go, and the pressure on the school cooks was greatly reduced, and they could no longer feel the pressure, and their thinking about work was clearer.

"Li Shilang, look, the children's faces are all full of smiles, and the children's families are also very satisfied with the school, it's really good!"

The subordinate said happily.

Li An nodded and said, "What you said is right, this shows that we have done a good job!" These children, as well as their families, are very supportive of our establishment of a school here, and in the future, they will be the talents I built our Datang. ”

"Yes! In the future, they will be the talents of Datang, Li Shilang, it's time to eat, shouldn't we go to dinner. ”

The subordinate reminded.

Li An nodded and said: "Smelling the fragrance of this braised pork, the official is already hungry, it's time to have a good meal, let's go, let's eat with the child's family." ”

In order to show his closeness to the common people, Li An did not mind eating with the local people, but the officials under his subordinates were not very reluctant, they felt that with Li An's identity, they actually sat down to eat with these low-level people, which was simply self-surrendering.

"What's the matter, you have an opinion in your heart?"

Ang Lee asked.

"Li Shilang, just by virtue of the identity of these people, how can they deserve to eat with you, let's go to the classroom to eat! Just get the tables together and you're good to go. ”

The subordinate replied.

Li An shook his head and said: "That's not good, the classroom is a place for students to study in the future, not a place to eat, what's wrong with the identity, the official doesn't value his identity, eating with them can show that our Datang does not discriminate against foreign races, so that they are more willing to obey the rule of Datang." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it."

The subordinates had to go and arrange it.

The chef in the canteen was also very sensible, and directly moved the most corner table outward a little, so that Li An and his party could eat and drink more spaciously.

More than 300 people gathered in the canteen to eat, it seemed a little crowded, but at the same time, it also seemed quite lively, especially the children were the happiest, they all ate braised pork, small mouths smashed it, but excited, adults also ate very happily, although most of them are families with better conditions, but the local cooking technology is too backward, how can the taste of the food produced be compared with the famous dishes of the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that they have never eaten such a delicious meal in their lives.

Because most people don't know Ang Lee's identity, they won't be restrained, especially the children, who don't care about Ang Lee's gaze at them at all.

"These children eat very deliciously! Hahaha! ”

Seeing that the children were eating very deliciously, Li An was quite happy in his heart.

"It's so poor here, and most of the rich people eat fish, and very few eat meat."

The officials of the Tang Dynasty have not been in the local area for a long time, but they still have a good understanding of the local situation and the most basic situation of the people.

"That's right! The biggest source of food in the area is fish, shrimp and shellfish from the sea, as well as some sea vegetables, and there is really not enough food on land to fill their stomachs. ”

Another official said.

"Now we have introduced breeding rabbits, and when the local situation improves, we have to teach them to breed cattle, sheep and pigs, otherwise the food will be too monotonous and not conducive to human growth," Li said. ”

"Li Shilang really cares about the lives of the local people!"

"That's natural, this is already the land of Datang, and the local people are the people of Datang, how can this official not be good to them as a parent official."

Ang Lee replied as a matter of course.

After eating, Li An saw that a large pot of steamed buns was ready, walked over and took one, put it in his mouth and took a bite, the taste was really good, very delicious.

These steamed buns are prepared for the crowd watching the excitement outside, and if they can come to see the excitement, it can be regarded as a cheering field, and they should be given a little benefit.

Walking out of the cafeteria, Li An saw that the crowd outside was still there, and almost no one left, and Li Ang really admired the perseverance of these people.

Li An did not promise to give these people who were cheering, but they still stood outside without regrets, if there were no green leaves, how could the people in the school have a sense of superiority.

"It's time to eat, these people haven't gone back, the school is just such a thing, what's so good-looking, it's worth these people."

The officials looked at the people with a condescending expression.

"I think that the smell of meat wafting from the canteen is too tempting, and they are enjoying the smell of meat! Hahaha! ”

Another official laughed.

"Hahaha!"

The Datang officials all laughed, looking quite happy.

Li An opened his mouth and said: "These onlookers, eating steamed buns in their mouths and smelling the taste of braised pork at the end of their noses, will definitely be able to eat steamed buns with the feeling of braised pork!" Hahaha! ”

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed even more.

After the door opened, more than a dozen cooks, each holding a large basket of steamed buns, walked out, opened the cotton cloth covering it, and began to divide the steaming steamed buns.

These onlookers adults and children were already hungry, and when they saw someone giving them free steamed buns, they all happily went to grab them, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

"It's really a small people, just for a few steamed buns, they actually scramble to be like this."

The Datang officials looked disdainful.

It's not bad at all, if the people of rich countries don't have any appetite at all when they see steamed buns, they don't even look down on steamed buns when they ask for food, they throw away the steamed buns, and ask the seller for change.

"These little people, I'm afraid they haven't even eaten steamed buns!"

"It makes sense that there are no steamed bun shops in the local area, and the food of the local people is mainly fish and meat, and only the rich can afford to eat pasta."

"There are so many people outside, I'm afraid that the steamed buns prepared are not enough!"

"Yes! Although it is one person, how to count the heads, some people eat one after another, what can you do? You can't send a steamed bun to drive away a person! ”

"If these guys come every day, then we have to give them a steamed bun every day."

"Don't worry! This won't happen, they just want to be fresh, if they come every day, it won't be interesting, the school is so big, what can there be to see. ”

"No matter what, no matter how many people watch the excitement in the future, they can't give them food for free anymore, otherwise some lazy people will keep coming to eat and drink, and the school's funds will get higher and higher, and sooner or later they will be unable to make ends meet."

The officials discussed.

Li An nodded and said: "How can you give them free food every day, today is the day when the school is officially completed, and it is also the day when the first batch of schoolchildren enter the school to be familiar, so I gave food to the onlookers, and I will definitely not give them in the future, but I have to tell them, otherwise, they will always be waiting here to eat, then it will be troublesome." ”

"Li Shilang is right, I want to tell them clearly that this is a school, not a place for them to eat and drink, this time it is a completion celebration, and there will be no such opportunity next time."

Officials are quite recognizant.

Because his stomach was already full, when he smelled the aroma of braised pork in the canteen again, Li An had no appetite anymore, and he no longer felt that the taste was very good.

The crowd outside were very happy to get the hot steamed buns, and they all devoured them, as if someone was fighting with them.
