Chapter 258 Shangjing First Academy
The kitchen in the First School is very large, because in normal times, the First School will provide free breakfast and lunch. Such conditions are also a great attraction for families with more than two children. Therefore, the enrollment rate of the school is very high, both men and women.
In the Ming Dynasty, where men and women have more defense than rivers, the unique situation of multi-ethnic groups living together has led to a profound background of dogmatic and etiquette constraints, unlike the Jin and Song states. To a certain extent, it is an alternative openness.
However, the idea of favoring boys over girls is still common. Therefore, the proportion of boys in the school is 20% or 30% higher than that of girls. It is also common among the Han people and the minority families who are deeply influenced by the Chinese.
At this moment, Zheng Mingyan, Dou Mo, Pu Cha Sijin and the other two came to the huge kitchen. Nearly eight hundred juren had dinner here at the same time, but it was not crowded at all.
"Let's line up first!" Dou Mo said, then pulled out three from the wooden plate piled high next to him, then took out three pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick basket, and then picked up three wooden spoons from the wooden box beside for use in the soup.
In order to make these future Ming Dynasty official stars eat and drink well, and to perform ahead of the exam room, the food prepared in the kitchen is also very rich. There are bone soup, vegetable soup, and roasted lamb that the Mongolians in Shangjing like to eat. In order for more people to eat, the lamb was cut into pieces and each person could receive a spoonful of portions.
There are also milk skin, milk tofu, scrambled eggs, seasonal vegetables, and the main food is meat-filled buns, steamed buns, steamed buns, and long noodles.
The food is twice as rich as the food provided by Shangjing Academy.
But Zheng Mingyan and the others dare not eat too much! After all, eating too much will affect the afternoon exam, and they will suffer a lot.
After eating the food in the wooden box, they stopped adding it to the window. Puchasijin and Dou Mo also resisted the temptation of delicious food and delivered the finished wooden box to the prescribed wooden barrels and returned to their seats. Many juren were already resting on the tables and chairs in the kitchen.
But Zheng Mingyan was not sleepy at this time, so he suggested, "Why don't you go out for a walk and eat?"
Dou Mo shook his head and said, "You go. I want to read a book here for a while and help you see the seats." However, some people occupied several seats alone in order to facilitate sleep.
Of course, there are also people who don’t sleep, so they took this time to review the homework of "Arithmetic". After all, this is the most difficult subject among the five subjects in Beijing, and no one dares to be careless.
Pu Cha Sijin had no confidence in this Beijing exam, but he didn't rush to get through this time. Zheng Mingyan became a little nervous because he was a little afraid that others would review it and he didn't review it himself, and then he fell into the middle of the exam.
I have to say that intra-censorship exists in all eras.
"Fuguo, let's go for a walk. When the food is over, your mind will be clearer. Reading books may be more effective at that time." Pu Chasijin saw the nervousness in Zheng Mingyan's heart and advised him.
An anxious attitude will affect his performance in the exam! That's why Pu Cha Sijin deliberately advised him to go out for a walk.
Although Zheng Mingyan was still a little worried, Pu Cha Sijin was right and got up and left the kitchen.
Walking in the campus of Shangjing No. 1 School, the impression is that it is regular and beautiful.
After all, it is a school built by the Education Department as a model, and there are huge complaints about the construction of the school. Among them, there are fifty classrooms that can teach, ten large classrooms that can accommodate 100 people at the same time, twenty medium-sized classrooms that can accommodate 70 people, and thirty small classrooms that can accommodate up to fifty people.
In addition, there are also school buildings for remote students to stay in school, and the building materials used are cement. There are two upper and lower floors, each floor has eight rooms, and there are two buildings in total, which can accommodate up to 700 students.
In addition, it is an empty venue for students to use extracurricularly. There are special Cuju venues, theaters for performances, gardens for viewing and enjoying, and pavilions and waterfronts inside.
In Nancheng, where every inch of land is valuable, the first school occupies a market. Both school gates are facing the streets, and nearby shops are also prosperous with the existence of the school, and land prices soar.
The concept of school district housing has appeared in Shangjing in advance.
"It's really unheard of such a luxurious school, and I've never seen it!" Zheng Mingyan only visited the garden, and before he finished it, he sighed sincerely. He had actually heard of the reputation of the No. 1 school in Beijing, but because the school did not allow outsiders to enter at will, he could only look at the school building through the school gate and imagine the grand scenery inside.
But today I am really lucky to enter the first viewing, and I really have to accept the reputation of the No. 1 School in Beijing. Not to mention how powerful the students are, just relying on this huge school building and exquisite garden, it can beat most schools.
Even the manors of landlords and wealth in my hometown are different from this one.
"I have seen the palace of the king of the Great Zhen Kingdom in the past. Compared with it, although it is more luxurious than it is, it is very small. In terms of the garden, it is not as beautiful as the first school in Beijing." Pucha Sijin recalled: "Look at what my aunt said, the construction style of this first school was the one that the king personally saw. Many officials in Liaoyang wanted to send their children here to school."
At that time, his aunt also wanted to send him here to study, but unfortunately the school has age restrictions. Currently, only students aged 6 to 16 are only recruited, and those who do not meet the requirements are not within the scope of the recruitment. Moreover, the subjects set by the school are also more enlightened and younger. The main teaching of enlightenment was the enlightenment that had just entered the school! Although I heard that I was preparing to teach higher-level subjects, Puchasijin knew very little about the specific details.
"Even I can't help but yearn for such a school!" Zheng Mingyan said, and said curiously: "I wonder how much the scenery is compared to this in Shangjing Palace?"
"I think it should be several times more magnificent than this! The king of Ming Dynasty could invest a lot of money to build this school, so how could he not invest more material resources to repair his palace?" Pu Cha Sijin thought for a while and guessed.
Zheng Mingyan also felt deeply reasonable! He blurted out and said, "I wonder if I have the opportunity to go to the imperial palace in Beijing. If I can go, I would be lucky in my three lives!"
"How come there is no chance? As long as you can nominate the Beijing list this time, the king of the country will definitely summon you in the palace." Pucha Sijin answered.
Zheng Mingyan couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this. But then, his face showed a little nervousness and said, "Let's go back quickly. Look at the arithmetic exercises and feel more at ease."
