It seems that I am still too full [travel]

In the afternoon, Youpu Village, located by the sea, seemed to be unusually quiet today.Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, the old village head was wearing his best clothes, and walked back and forth anxiously, while Yousi, who was waiting together, was much calmer on the surface of the water.

"Four children, the talented young masters of the academy really want to spend the night in our village? We don't have any good hospitality in this rural area, and even the places we live in are thatched huts. What if we don't entertain them well!"

Hearing that the students and masters of Dongcang Academy were going to come to Youpu Village for some field teaching practice, the old village chief was flattered and mixed. The happy thing was that the teachers and students of the academy wanted to spend the night in the village and needed to stay in the villagers' houses, so they would give them to the villagers. They received a lot of remuneration. After a winter, the fishermen were very happy when they were in short supply. What is worrying is that their Youpu Village is an ordinary village, and the lives of the fishermen are more miserable than those in the city. There are too many, I'm afraid those spoiled and talented young men will hate and complain when they stay.

You Sishui comforted his old uncle, "Old uncle, don't worry, our little Xie Shanzhang is not a fastidious person. He brought students to our village this time, and he didn't come here to visit the mountains and rivers, but He wants to borrow this place for his students to teach, and he told me before that some of them can live with seafood, so don’t be nervous.”

"I'm so nervous! We're afraid of neglecting the nobleman, and you're working under Mr. Xie now, Siba. After entertaining you, you will be promoted by the nobleman in the future!" Youpu Village is a united village, and most of the villagers are For the relatives who have not yet graduated from the fifth service, the old village head naturally has high hopes for the most promising young people in the village. Of course, he also has the selfish desire to help his grandson when the fourth child develops in the future.

In any case, Youpu Village still attaches great importance to the arrival of the teachers and students of Dongcang Academy. They prepare the best and cleanest houses in the village for these scholars. Poor hospitality.

Not long after, one carriage after another stopped at the entrance of Youpu Village. On the leading carriage, the blue curtain was lifted, and a tall and elegant young man came down, and another was a little older, and his footsteps were slight. A lame middle-aged Confucian scholar.You Sishui hurried up to meet him, cupped his hands and said, "Shan Zhang, Mr. Qin and you young gentlemen, you have worked hard all the way." Since Xie Shi took over the seat of acting Shan Zhang, everyone around him started to change their names, but Xie Shi couldn't bear it. It took a long time to get used to it.

The old uncle from Surabaya also followed closely, with a cautious attitude and a panicked face, maybe it was the first time he saw a nobleman, just like a fairy seen in a picture scroll of a temple fair, and he didn't expect that the mountain chief was so young, In the meantime, I didn't hold back a word, and I had already forgotten all about the well-written manuscript.

I can still see that the old village chief Xie Shi took the initiative to step forward, introduced himself, then introduced Qin Sui beside him, and finally said: "My students and I have been disturbing Youpu Village for the past two days. Forgive me and fellow villagers." Xie Shi had a natural smile on his face, and he was not as arrogant and arrogant as other high-ranking officials and nobles, which immediately made the old village chief relax, and finally he was able to speak properly.

Xie Shi and other teachers were chatting with the village head and You Sishui, and the students following behind were not idle, just like the primary school students led out by the teacher for a spring outing, chattering and making a fuss.

"Why did the head of the mountain bring us to the beach? I thought we would go to the mountain for spring! When the time comes, we will recite poems and praise the spring scenery. Wouldn't it be extremely elegant? I didn't prepare any poems about the sea when I came to the beach!"

"I heard from my master that we have to spend the night here and watch the sunrise before going back to the academy, but the village by the sea is very dilapidated, and I don't know if there is a place to sleep." Looking at the surrounding environment, some The teenager is already worrying about where to live tonight.

There are also students who can't see their classmates like this, and retort: ​​"Why do you dislike it? We came here, and we didn't come here to visit the mountains and rivers. According to what the head of the mountain told us before we set off, if we want to study things to learn, we must Go to the nature, be trapped in the study and meditate on the table, and there is nothing left and right. Scholars should start from the study and go to the broad world!" This view was given by Xie Shi's humble words before departure. I flickered.

Even so, now that Xie Shi is both the head of the mountain and the teacher in class, even though a group of students don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, they still have to listen to his arrangements honestly.The teachers and students of the academy set off from the academy after having snacks at noon, and when they arrived at Youpu Village, it was almost the time when the fishing boat was returning to the voyage when the sun was setting.

They just went out for the night, and Xie Shi simply didn't ask the students to bring any change of clothes. They only distributed a set of Bazhenge toothbrush, toothpaste and toiletry kits when they set off, so there is no need to go to the village to put them in salutes and grooming now.So, Xie Shi went straight to the point, just like a spring outing, took the group of students to a higher beach by the sea, asked Qin Sui and others to take care of the students, and he started the first part of this special class class.

The students didn't know the master's intentions, so they saw a few people dressed as soldiers carefully set up four strange things on the beach.

The students below muttered, "What is this? I have never seen anything like this before."

"Brother Xue is so well-informed and has never seen it before, so I don't know."

Xie Shi did not pretend to be mysterious, and said directly: "Today is the first class of the Gezhi class. The word "Gewu Zhizhi" comes from "Great Learning", "Grassing knowledge is in investigating things, and knowing things after learning." For this There are many people who have interpreted it throughout the ages, and the most famous one is Zhu Zi. Zhu Zi said that "understand the things in the world, and then there will be knowledge in the world". In the world of life, one's feet are on the earth, and his head is pitched to all things. Since we want to understand things and understand principles, the first thing we should know is the world we live in."

Xie Shi led to the main topic, "I brought you to this seaside today to explore one of the basic questions in this world, that is, what is the land we stand on?"

I don't know who responded, "Why do you need to explore this? 'The sky is round like a cover, and the place is like a chessboard'. This is even reasonable."

Xie Shi obviously heard it. He didn't immediately refute it, so he put forward his own proposition. Instead, he smiled slightly and said: "It seems that everyone agrees with the theory that the sky is round and the earth is round. Then, is the land we stand on really as the ancients said? Speaking of which, it looks like a square chessboard? It will be revealed after tomorrow morning, and the students who just spoke will be invited to answer the teacher's questions."

Xie Shi pointed to the telescope at the bottom, and said: "In front of you, there are four observers borrowed from our head teacher Cen. What you need to do is to wait for the fishing boat to return, observe with the naked eye, or use a telescope to observe how the returning fishing boat appears in your field of vision. If someone brings a pen and paper, you can also draw this process, and then Think about why fishing boats appear like this, and what is the principle behind it?"

"Because the number of binoculars is limited and the items are expensive, it is impossible for every student to get one, and we need to line up to watch them in turn." As for the four tall binoculars, he managed to get them from Cen Yu. After using it, the soldiers had to take it back.In the end, Xie Shi nodded to Han Ning in the crowd, and said, "Han Ning, you are here to maintain order, and be careful not to smash the binoculars."

It was the first time that Han Ning was called by Xie Shi in public. The young boy concealed the joy in his heart and nodded solemnly on his face. Sure enough, he also completed the task entrusted by Xie Shi very well.Although the students of the academy are very curious about this telescope that can clearly see the distant sea, under the organization of Han Ning, Fu Yu and other small partners, they still lined up honestly one by one due to the prestige of "school bully". Civilized viewing.

"Wow! This object looks far away, but it is really close in front of your eyes. This, this telescope is the legendary clairvoyance!"

"Li Sheng, have you finished reading? It's my turn!"

"Wait a minute, brother Huang, don't worry, I haven't seen the fishing boat yet!"

After arranging the task, Xie Shi asked the students to disperse for free activities. Qin Sui, who was beside him, walked beside him, also curious about the significance of Xie Shi's arrangement.Why can the truth about the shape of the earth be obtained by observing the return of a fishing boat?

Xie Shi also did not explain to him now, but said: "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. I can explain my point of view and evidence to my husband right now, but he may not believe it. Why don't you think about it after reading it?" Talk to me later."

Qin Sui stroked his long beard and nodded, "Young master's words are reasonable. Although he lives in the countryside, he is not near the sea, and he has never seen a fishing boat returning to its voyage."

At that time, the setting sun in the distant sky was like blood, reflected on the sea, as if dyed the sea red, and fishing boats came from the sky like fairy boats.The students scattered in all directions, observing the scene by the sea with binoculars or the naked eye. How can it be said that the sky is round and the earth can be denied in the mouth of the mountain?

Xie Shi was not idle either, and went to see Surabaya downstream and the chefs of the canteen of the academy who went out with the teachers and students of the academy. They were preparing dinner for the students in Youpu Village after the observation.Due to the poor environment, after discussing with Xie Shi, several chefs did not prepare any complicated dishes. Instead, they borrowed the back kitchens of the village chief's house and You Sishui's house to cook porridge with seafood.

The white porridge surged like clouds and fog, and the rice grains in it bloomed and almost melted into gurgling rice water. Not only was a pig bone added to cook, but some dried seafood such as scallops and dried fish from the sea were also shredded by enthusiastic fishermen. In order to put it into it, a pot of delicious and rich porridge is brewed.Fishermen return to the sea. Sea bass, prawns, purple abalone, clams, crabs and other seafood that have just been unloaded are cleaned, sliced ​​or shelled, and thrown into the bottom of the tumbling porridge. Blanch until foggy pink.

After observing the return of the fishing boats, the students gathered in the courtyard of the ancestral hall of Youpu Village, and ate the seafood porridge just out of the pan. It retains the tender and delicious taste without being too old to make the meat rough.

Little Xie Shanchang was afraid of light porridge, and the group of half-children who were in their youth couldn’t get enough to eat, so he ordered the chefs to prepare other dishes together, and there were crispy and fragrant oysters, garlic vermicelli on the table Scallops, charcoal-grilled squid, charcoal-grilled eggplant, charcoal-grilled leeks and other grilled items.

When you come to the beach, how can you not try barbecue!In particular, these seafood are freshly fished out of the sea by the fishermen. They are at their freshest and tender, and they have a special fresh and sweet taste. With the barbecue seasoning prepared by Xie Shi himself, the taste is absolutely amazing. The students of the Academy were eye-opening. They did not expect that the grilled food could be so high-quality.
