As the saying goes, "Listen to people's advice and eat well." ”

Sun Yuanqi has always had a peaceful personality, rarely embarrassed by others, and is not the type who is impassioned and never looks back. After listening to Yang Du's words, he secretly made up his mind in his heart, so he stopped caring and walked towards the rest of the school.

The campus is quite large, and after walking half a circle, I heard the melodious bell, and it turned out that it was noon and after school. The students walked out of the classrooms, and in the blink of an eye, the empty campus became lively, and loud laughter was heard everywhere.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, universities were generally located in the city, and a few on the outskirts of the city were not far from the city. The school is built in the city or on the edge of the city, which can throw the students' food, hygiene, accommodation and other logistical problems to the society to solve to the greatest extent, and the school only needs to be responsible for the teaching work.

The Two Lakes General Normal School is no exception. Now that the school is out of school, the students go out in twos and threes, and go to the small restaurant outside the school to eat, because there are so many students, the business of the restaurant near the school is very prosperous, and usually a family has to solve the food and accommodation of dozens of students. Although everyone leaves school together, they have to pay attention to the first come, first served when they eat. So Sun Yuanqi could see some anxious students running out of the door in a smoke, just to grab a seat.

Sun Yuanqi was a teacher and principal a few years ago, and now he is an official, so he must always pay attention to his image, and naturally he can't run around like a student. Yang Du also walks slowly, shaking three times in one step, but he can't get up fast. By the time the three of them walked out of the school gate, the anxious students had already walked out of the cafeteria with belching and wiping their mouths.

Sun Yuanqi proposed to the two: "Let's also have a light meal at the door?" I'm doing the East! ”

Yang Du had a natural expression: "You are the owner, so naturally you are the owner." Come out with you, do you want the two of us to pay? ”

"It's just, it's not that reasonable!" Liu Shipei should be peaceful.

Sun Yuanqi smiled and said, "Okay! I knew you were going to blackmail me, so I went out this morning and deliberately brought some extra silver. Not a lot, though. If you dare to eat and drink, you will be put in the store to wash the dishes! ”

After that, I chose a restaurant with a neat façade and took the lead and walked in.

It's still the peak of the dining season, and all the tables are full. The shopkeeper was very eye-catching, and seeing that the three of them were in a good weather, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted: "Third master, it's unfortunate that you came, there are no empty tables in the shop for the time being." If you don't dislike it, how about giving you a table to rely on? ”

Sun Yuanqi has never paid attention to this, and waved his hand casually: "Just have a seat." ”

"The third master will wait a minute, the little one will show you the past." The shopkeeper hurriedly went over to find a vacant seat.

After a few words, the shopkeeper came back and invited them to sit down.

It was a small box, and there were already a few people sitting there, halfway through the meal, and a few books spread out on the table, presumably discussing while eating. There were three empty seats left by the door, obviously reserved for himself,

Sun Yuanqi arched his hand at them: "I am grateful for your efforts!" ”

The young man inside smiled: "Be polite, it's fragrant to grab the food!" ”

After taking a seat, the shopkeeper asked, "What do the three masters eat?" The small shop has roasted duck, roasted goose, sauce chicken, bacon, pine flower tripe, fried shrimp, braised waist flowers, stewed bamboo shoots, boiled white and white cut mutton"

The mouth is so neat, and there is a fight with the bridge to talk about cross talk. In this era, the price of paper is expensive, and ordinary restaurants can't afford to use recipes, and the name and price of the dishes are all based on the mouth of the shopkeeper.

Sun Yuanqi looked at Yang Du and Liu Shipei: "What do you want to eat?" ”

Yang Du shook the paper fan and said four words: "The guest is as good as the host." ”

Liu Shipei also said: "The younger brother can't wash the dishes, so it's better for you to order." ”

In desperation, Sun Yuanqi had no choice but to say to the shopkeeper: "Your store's specialty dishes, just look at it!" ”

"Okay! The shop's best features are stewed bamboo shoots, pearl balls, steamed pork, and steamed Wuchang fish. Four dishes, the three masters are eating just right! Would you like to order a drink? "The shopkeeper is very clever.

"Forget the wine, we have something to do in the afternoon. If you have good tea, you can make a pot of tea. Sun Yuanqi didn't ask the opinions of the two people around him, so he replied directly.

"Done! The small shop just has a few taels of good Junshan silver needles, how about it? "The shop is small and second.

Seeing Sun Yuan starting his head, the shopkeeper bowed down and exited the box, and shouted crisply when he went out: "The three masters of the box are stewed bamboo shoots, pearl balls, steamed pork, steamed Wuchang fish, and a pot of silver needles in Junshan!" ”

Now that there are a lot of people, it will be better to serve tea and food for a while, and because there are other people, Sun Yuanqi sat closer to them, so he didn't chat, and instead looked at the people at the same table.

Needless to say, they are definitely students of the Academy. There were four or five people, but there were only three dishes, two of which were vegetarian. From time to time, they would pick up a chopstick and take a few bites of rice, and then point and talk in dialect. Lean over and take a closer look, yo, aren't they watching the "Introduction to Gewu" adapted by Ou Lifei in the fifth year of Guangxu 79? How come such an old physics textbook is still in use!

Sun Yuanqi was a little curious, so he said casually: "What do you think of this book?" This book is a bit backward, and if you want to study physics, it is best to read the one from the Commercial Press. ”

Those people didn't expect Sun Yuanqi to talk to themselves, and they all raised their heads and I was able to come over. One of the more handsome young men replied in official dialect: "This is a handout issued by our school, we must read it, the one from the Commercial Press, we have all heard of it, although it is very good, but it is said to be quite profound, and ordinary people do not understand it." ”

Is it difficult? When I was teaching at Chongshi Middle School, the students seemed to understand it!

Sun Yuanqi was a little puzzled in his heart, and asked again: "Do you think physics is difficult to learn?" ”

The students nodded in unison.

"What's so hard?" Sun Yuan said.

Several students immediately started talking nonsense, from the astringency of the textbook to the unfamiliarity of the terminology, from the teacher's speech to the arrangement of the textbook, one by one. Sun Yuanqi guessed that these students should have studied under the physics teacher who dragged the ancient text. In fact, in the universities of this era, there is only one teacher for one course.

Thinking of this, Sun Yuanqi reached out and took their textbooks: "Have you understood the content of your classes in the past few days?" ”

The students were a little surprised when they saw him holding the textbook, and only after half a loud voice did they reply: "I just don't understand, so we discussed it with each other." ”

Sun Yuanqi flipped the book to the mechanics part, looked at it a few times, and began to lecture with them in popular language, and he didn't bother to eat the food when it was served. After talking for nearly half an hour, he put down the book and took a sip of cold tea: "You just said this, do you understand?" ”

Several students nodded their heads. The handsome student asked curiously, "You speak so well, better than our teacher Mr. Misawa, are you?" ”

Sun Yuanqi blinked his eyes and began to make up nonsense: "A few of us are preparing to take the exam for your academy. ”

"Yes, we're here to take the test—your academy." Yang Du interjected on the side. However, the meaning of his words, Sun Yuanqi and Liu Shipei both understood: examiners, inspections, inspections.

Because of the large capital investment and high teaching level, the Lianghu General Normal School has a great influence in Central China, and there are indeed many people from other places who come to apply for the examination, so the students are not suspicious. Someone at the table said, "You are so proficient in physics, why did you come to our academy?" Go directly to Beijing to get the entrance examination to Jingshi University! The school made us ask Sun to run it, and it is said that the level of science is the highest, and even foreigners come to study! ”

Hearing them say this, Sun Yuanqi was a little proud and proud: Look, the students in Hubei know that Beijing has a Jingshi University!

The others responded: "Yes, yes, instead of taking the test for our school, go out to be a teacher in the future; It's better to go directly to our school as a physics teacher, it must be a hundred times stronger than that one. ”

Yang Du said narrowly on the side: "He, he was originally a physics teacher, no one knows why, he came to Hubei, and he has to take the exam - your school!" The two of us were tied up, so we had to come along. ”

In his twenties and thirties, he was proficient in physics, was originally a physics teacher, spoke Beijing Mandarin, and had just arrived in Hubei. Personal information plus Yang Du's words, if someone is interested in it, he will definitely think about Sun Yuanqi. In order to avoid suspicion, Sun Yuanqi immediately changed the topic: "By the way, why don't you go to Jingshi University?" ”

Several people looked embarrassed: "There are few students in Jingshi University, and the questions are difficult, so we can't take the test."

Sun Yuanqi nodded secretly: Indeed, from the beginning of the establishment of Jingshi University, the number of students has been small and precise, and the number of students is not more than indiscriminate, and the number of students in each class is no more than fifteen, and the number of small students is only five or six. There are more than 20 departments in the university, and more than 100 students are now enrolled every year. Among the 100 people, their own affiliated schools will account for 12 out of 10, and Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Beijing and Tianjin are even larger, and the rest will be evenly distributed to other provinces, and it is estimated that there will be six or seven places a year. Only the top people can be admitted.

The handsome young man said at this time: "Although we can't go to Jingshi University, we Hubei students are blessed after all. It is rumored that Master Sun came to Hubei to serve as an envoy to the University of the World this time, mainly to establish a school that is willing to compete with Jingshi University. If the rumors are true, then within a year or two the academy should be able to enroll students. You must know that it only took half a year for Master Sun to go from the establishment of Jingshi University to the enrollment of students! We have to study hard now, and when that time comes, we can get close to the water and get the moon first~! ”

Sun Yuanqi held his forehead with his hand: Which roadside club is this news? The source is Al Jazeera, right?

"After talking for a long time, Li Zhonghua hasn't asked Brother Ren's surname yet?" The handsome student got up and arched his hand towards Sun Yuanqi.

Sun Yuanqi hurriedly gave in, and before he could think of what name to make up, Liu Shipei said on the side: "Don't you know what his surname is?" Yes, his surname is Ren, and his name is Ren Junyi. ”

"Brother Ren," Li Zhonghua said respectfully, "We are only a few of us, and we don't know much about physics, chemistry, and naturalism, but the school founded by Sun Xuezhi attaches the most importance to these subjects." If Brother Ren has been in Wuchang recently, I would like to go forward and ask for advice! If you don't have a place to stay, we can help, in any condition or something."
