Wu Yan had been thinking about the cook, and when he saw the ready-made teacher in front of him, he thought to himself, why don't you ask him what he means first?

"Uh...... Teacher, the student has a question for me. ”

Zeng Maolin was quite surprised when he heard it, he still had questions to ask? So he hurriedly said: "But it doesn't hurt to say." ”

Wu Yan thought about how to ask, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was better to say directly: "Even you know that the cooking skills of the restaurant chefs are not so ideal, and the students think about how to improve the quality of the meals of the teachers and students?" So I came up with an idea...... I would like to invite the senior chefs of Guanglu Temple to visit our restaurant to exchange and guide cooking skills. ”

What she said was tactful, but it was a little tactful, Zeng Maolin listened to it for a long time before he understood, and then he couldn't help laughing, and his feeling was that the food here was not delicious...... Although that's true.

He thought about it for a while, and then understood what she meant: "Are you afraid that once you point out that the chef is not good at cooking, you will be whipped?" ”

Wu Yan had to nod, isn't this something you have repeatedly emphasized?

"Regardless of the beauty and evil of eating, it is indeed a school rule, if it is...... Exchange of culinary skills...... There's nothing wrong with that...... There is no precedent for it......"

Wu Yan saw that he was stumbling, and thought to himself, whether you can say it or not.

"Teacher, it's clear that the chef's cooking skills are inferior, but why does the school want him to stay in the restaurant?"

"Uh......" This question stumped Zeng Maolin, and thought for a while: "Let's put it this way, in recent years, the cooks and cooks in the prison have all been sent to the nearest servants, and I think it may be someone who is indiscriminate." ”

Wu Yan was quite familiar with the kitchen service in Guanglu Temple, and he also knew how deep the water was, so he said: "Originally, the kitchen service was exempted, and there was a monthly salary to be taken, such a good thing...... If it's not nepotism, but a local stateless person who is impersonating, or an impostor, then you have to talk about it. If the faction is from Daxing, then you have to ask the Daxing County Order. ”

Zeng Maolin saw that she didn't look like she would give up, and thought to himself that this is good, at least another one is better than the current one, and the food is indeed too unpalatable.

"I have an idea, maybe the Venerable Master can agree to it......"

"Oh? Tell me about it," Wu Que guessed that he had an idea.

"Naturally, the school rules can't be violated, but if you donate some scripture and history books to Beijian in the name of donating books, you must be very happy to accept it."

Wu Yan was puzzled when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't you talk about the chef?" Why did you get a book giveaway? ”

"Hey," Zeng Maolin sighed: "Speaking of which, it's not a matter of money, the household department allocates two dollars per year to the North Prison Bank, and there is no extra money to print books. ”

"It turns out that there is a lack of money...... Wu Yan understands a little, why the food in the restaurant is reluctant to use more rice, and uses corn instead, because the price of corn is cheap, and no one eats it.

And in recent years, the problem of the corruption of the style of study caused by the admission of students into the school has been debated endlessly, especially the household department and the Ministry of Rites, the household department is in support, but the Ministry of Rites is resolutely opposed, saying that too much learning is too much. In fact, the number of students who donated this year is much lower than in the past. ”

Belch...... Wu Yan is not embarrassed to hear it! Didn't she donate money to go to school, and she didn't learn anything......

Zeng Maolin continued: "Nowadays, most of the book plates engraved by the North Prison come from the South Prison, or moved from all directions, many of them are old and decayed, and there are many mutilations, and it is not suitable to search and replenish, so it is even more difficult to engrave them again. Therefore, in addition to the Thirteen Classics and the Twenty-first History, there are few books in the North Prison. ”

"That'...... What books do you need? ”

Zeng Maolin thought for a while and said: "Such as book making, such as the Four Books of the King James Dynasty, "The Words of the Righteousness", etc., as well as all kinds of "Huiyuan Collections". ”

Wu Que thought to himself, donating books to help students is also a good deed, but there is no problem, it's just ...... How does it feel weird?

"Teacher, why did you come up with a book gift?"

Zeng Maolin smiled and said calmly: "Wouldn't it be best to kill two birds with one stone, and each has its own satisfaction?" What's more, Liu Jin has also been a friend of mine for many years. ”

"Oh...... I see! Wu Yan suddenly realized that this guy knew that she and Liu Jin were in a cooperative relationship, so he was so sure.

"Well, I have to say that's a good idea...... However, teacher, you call this generosity, right? ”

Why are these people so brainy?

Zeng Maolin smiled and did not refute her dissatisfaction, but only after she complained, he changed the topic again.

"Wu Yan, the problem of the chef is solved, now it's my turn to ask you, the day after tomorrow is the day of the monthly exam, you ...... Are you ready? ”

What can I prepare? It's almost as good as getting ready to hand in the blank papers.

"What's the monthly exam?"

"This month's test of four books."

“…… What are the Four Books? Wu Yan asked a little embarrassed.

Zeng Maolin looked at her, but he didn't know what to say, this student was simply an insurmountable mountain, and he didn't know where to start teaching.

"Have you read the Commentary on the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences?"

Wu Yan pursed his lips, refusing to answer.

"Do you know the format of making eight strands?"

Wu Yan shook his head again, indicating that he had never heard of it.

"It is to break the topic, undertake the topic, start to speak, enter the topic, and start the shares...... Ay! Zeng Maolin suddenly felt as if he was 'talking to a chicken and a duck', which was quite stupid.

"Forget it......

At this moment, he only felt extremely sad, even more worried than Wu Yan himself, thought about it for a while, and finally decided: "You ...... If you don't call yourself sick, you won't come, just on the day of the exam. ”

Wu Yan looked at the 'bitter and hateful' teacher and asked, "Is this good?" I ......, "Actually, you can try it, it's a big deal."

Zeng Maolin suddenly became a little angry, looking like he hated iron but not steel, and said, "Forget it, whatever you want!" ”

Wu Yan couldn't help but wonder, how could this teacher turn his face faster than a book?

——————

On the second day,

Wu Yan had to 'go out on an errand', so he took a day off from school.

On this day, she stepped on the hour to come to the Qianqing Palace, just to see Emperor Yongming, and then told him about the kitchen service of the Guozijian.

And Emperor Yongming was in a good mood at this time, so he let this noisy petty official make a 'small report'.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that for the health of the majority of teachers and students, we must have high standards and strict requirements, and the diet should not only be 'rich and clean', but also talk about comprehensive and balanced nutrition, of course, delicious is also very important."

Yongming Emperor Zhu Zhongwei sat upright in the dragon chair without even raising his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, what do you think, the students are all growing up at an age, and the nutrition must keep up, so that they will have a good body to build our Ming Dynasty in the future......"

"Long body?" Emperor Yongming finally had an expression, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with a hint of mockery: "I'm afraid these people even have heirs, right?" ”

Wu Yan thought to himself, I'm still growing my body! She didn't care so much, and continued: "In short, Xiao Chen is willing to do his part, just to improve the quality of the food of the teachers and students, and not to endure the unpalatable food and poor cooking skills all day long. ”

Emperor Yongming turned his head and looked Wu Yan up and down, and suddenly understood her intentions. I couldn't help but be surprised, when did this girl grow so tall?

Since Wu Yan entered the palace, she has indeed grown a lot, which is due to her good diet on weekdays and her frequent exercise, so she has grown suddenly. The master in the palace has a fresh supply of wives every day, and generally the queen mother, emperor, queen, and concubines use wives, and the minor children eat quiches. According to Wu Yan's status, he can also eat dairy products every day, and the protein supply is sufficient, so he will be in good health.

Emperor Yongming understood, thought about it for a while, and said, "You still want me to solve this kind of thing for you?" ”

When Wu Yan heard this, he hurriedly borrowed a donkey to go downhill: "The minister knows his mistake, but it is just a little thing, it really shouldn't be used to annoy Your Majesty, so the minister will do it on his behalf?" ”

"If the cook can't do it, let Guanglu Temple change people."

"Yes, Xiaochen understands."

After thinking about it, he said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a monthly exam tomorrow, can you go to Wenshu first today?" The accounts of the inner treasury will be reported to His Majesty one by one after the monthly examination. ”

Emperor Yongming couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, the monthly exam?

"Oh? What are you going to take tomorrow? Emperor Yongming asked with interest.

"I heard the teacher say it was a test...... What eight shares? ”

"Haha, you'll do it?"

Wu Yan had to shake his head, but after thinking about it again, he lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious and said to Emperor Yongming: "Actually, we will also take this test there...... It's just not called eight shares, it's called an argumentative essay. ”

Emperor Yongming looked at her for a long time before he said, "Even so, I am also looking forward to seeing your 'argumentative essay'." ”

Yes!

Coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Wu Yan raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn't know where to go for a while. After thinking about it, it was better to leave the palace first, so I asked Xiaohuo to recruit a female sedan chair to carry the green mantle sedan chair......

The sedan chair was lifted to the Donghua Gate and stopped, Wu Yan got off the sedan chair, rewarded the female sedan chair men with a silver horn and sent them away. She went straight out of the Donghua Gate and walked towards Guanglu Temple.

Guanglu Temple is in the north of Dong'anli Gate, a large building complex, since Wu Yan also served as the ambassador of the silver treasury, has long been familiar with Guanglu Temple. In fact, it is the same as Taichang Temple, and the Ministry of Rites belongs to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and even the temple officials' rations are taken from the Ministry of Rites, and it is also the Ministry of Rites that distributes the number of kitchen servants reported by Guanglu Temple to various places.

Guanglu Temple is the official of the Qing, Shaoqing, the temple, the chief official has the book, the record, the subordinate officials have the agency, the officer, the supervisor, these officials in addition to a few of the officials are officials, tribute and supervisors, most of them are still Jinshi, Wu Yan will only be elected in the future is likely to be from the seven products of the agency.

She was going to find Xu Yan, so when she entered Guanglu Temple, she ran directly to the official office. Xu Yan is Siqing, although he is an official of the third grade, he does not dare to underestimate Wu Yan, a small Si Zhen. Besides, the relationship is still relatively harmonious, and Wu Yan often speaks for Guanglu Temple in front of His Majesty, so when she mentioned the matter of the kitchen service of the Guozi Supervisor, Xu Yan also readily agreed.

After finishing the kitchen service, Wu Yan left in a hurry, and went out of Dong'anli Gate to the Jade River, crossed the Jade River and went straight out of Dong'an Gate, called a 'public carriage', and went to Qipan Street.

Nowadays, this kind of 'public carriage' is particularly popular in and out of the capital, which is four-wheeled with steering and is drawn by a horse. More and more wealthy ladies and ladies go out, but choose this kind of carriage more than a sedan chair, of course, people are private custom carriages. Mainly because the carriage is private, the second is also fast and convenient, the third is comfortable, and three or five people at a time can be.

In the Ming Dynasty, Beijing's urban environment was stronger than that of the second-tier cities, if it rained, it was still the dung and mud splashing on the waist and abdomen, and the wind and dust were blowing in the wind and dust for a long time, and they did not know each other. In fact, there is a reason why everyone doesn't like to go out, if it's such an environment when you go out, who wants to go out?

Not only are the ladies reluctant to go out, but the southern scholars also have a lot of complaints about such a cityscape: Yan Shi wears a mask, rides a yellow horse, the wind is full of dust, and when he returns and dismounts, his nostrils are as black as smoke......

It is this kind of environment that Wu Yan is even more determined to build roads in the capital first, at least to repair the road in the area where Dongbianmen is connected to the racecourse.
