Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 39 Nine Nine Songs

Fan Zheng crossed his arms and listened to Mi Fei leading the children to recite Jiujiu songs in front of the Fangxue window.

Hey, the children's neat memorization and shaking of their heads are just pleasing to the eye.

Ahem, back then when I was messing around in a private school, I wasn't so comfortable.

What the children memorize is not the Jiujiu song of climate, but the Jiujiu song of multiplication.

The founder of Jiujiuge failed the test, but in the classics of "Xunzi", "Guanzi" and "Huainanzi", some formulas such as "27" can be found, that is to say, the time of appearance will not be too late Yu Chunqiu.

The Nine Nine Songs of the Tang Dynasty started from "Nine Nine 81" to "Two Two Such as Four", with a total of 36 formulas.

The "Bamboo and Wood Slips" of the Han Dynasty and the ancient "Nine-Nine Arts Remnant Wood Slips" discovered in Dunhuang recorded a complete 36 sentences of formulas.

The extended formulas of 45 sentences and 81 sentences are later versions.

As for complex questions like how the frog jumped out of the well, the chicken standing on one leg in the rabbit cage, and the frenzied inflow and outflow of water, these were not in Fan Zheng's consideration at all.

To engage in academic research, that is the business of Guozijian, and I will not accompany you.

Jiujiu Ge is still a bit difficult for Fangxue students, especially Tie Xiaozhuang, who stumbles on memorizing, which makes his classmates snicker from time to time.

In every study period, there is always such a bully who amazes the classmates, and there is such a scumbag who makes everyone eat less fried pork with bamboo shoots at home.

Fan Zheng had a smile in his eyes, thinking how many feet did he suffer when he recited Jiujiu Song back then?

At that time, my husband had put in a lot of effort, but he was still full of grievances.

There is no way, this is the pain that must be experienced in life, as long as Mi Fei pays attention, he will smoke when he should.

What's more, with Tie Xiaozhuang's body like a calf, it was a bit embarrassing to be hit twice without pain or itching.

Addition and subtraction are not bad, they still learned it, and with the aid of abacus, it really played a complementary role.

Do you need to sharpen sticks to learn arithmetic?

No, the abacus basically replaces this function.

Not to mention, the combination of abacus and basic math addition and subtraction makes the learning progress so fast.

Now Zhen Bang, from one to one hundred, only used [-] breaths!

Cover your face, Fan Zheng's historical record is sixty breaths.

Cough, the teacher does not have to be better than the disciple, and the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher.

Gabaizi is a basic exercise in abacus. Although it is simple, it has standards.

About, if you finish adding within 45 breaths, you are qualified, if you finish adding within [-] breaths, you are a master, and if you enter the beginning of [-], you are a master.

There is no room for cheating in this skill, even if you know the answer, if you mess up your technique, the expected result will disappear.

In the atmosphere where everyone is rushing every breath, if you still want to be lazy on purpose, I have to praise you for being cruel.

Fan Zheng didn't put too much pressure on them, he just announced the standard of 150 breaths, and the result was [-] three people, and more than a hundred people were stuck by this line.

On the contrary, Wu Qian and Wu Sang brothers and sisters passed the test, which surprised Fan Zheng slightly.

Unexpectedly, a pair of sons and daughters in Wumenshan who are careless and careless have the potential to find fine grains to eat.

If you fail, keep practicing.

No way, someone's fingers are naturally slower than toes, what can you do?
Not everyone is born to eat that bowl of rice, understand?

More people are piled up by making up for their shortcomings with diligence.

So, why are there three, six, and nine grades? Sometimes it’s really not discrimination. What can you do if your strength is not up to you?
"get out of class is over! Each person has a bowl of hot Baqiao Dingding soup cake! Mr. Mi, I have a bowl for you!"

Aunt Fan, who was not short of money, brought her buddy and came over with steaming soup cakes.

Soup cakes are the name of noodles in the Tang Dynasty, and steamed buns and steamed buns are collectively called steamed cakes.

Dingding soup cakes are made because the noodles are cut short, not the long shape of ordinary soup cakes. They are usually mixed with minced pork, ginger, green onion, garlic and other ingredients, and then mixed with some fresh vegetables.

Baqiao Dingding soup cake is a must in the local area. It is said that Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, once tasted it when he was stationed in Bashang.

Pork was the mainstream of folk meat in the Tang Dynasty.

As for the saying that nobles don't eat pork, it is a rumor.

There is a dish called Pao Pork in Zhou Bazhen.

The ranks of court sacrifices are: Tailao, Shaolao, Special Animals, Special Pigs, and Special Pigs.

The last two are all pigs, right?
It is also possible that special fish refers to puffer fish?

Special animals refer to cattle, but Shaolao refers to sheep and pigs, and Tailao refers to cattle, sheep, and pigs.

It's not that noble people don't eat pork, what they eat is pigs raised in hygienic methods.

As for some sources saying that pig raising is filthy, of course there are, but one cannot generalize.

In the era when it was difficult to collect feed, it was the mainstream to raise pigs by free-range pigs. Even in later generations, pigs in some mountainous areas were still free-ranged, and it took two years to barely be slaughtered.

Free-range pigs need to walk to find food and keep active, so they must have never been squatted, and they can eat snakes when they are ruthless.

Naturally, the fishy smell of pork is unavoidably a little stronger, so it has to be suppressed by seasonings such as ginger, garlic, and pepper.

Note that the Qinjiao at this time refers to the Zanthoxylum bungeanum produced in Guanzhong, and the Shujiao is similar.

The peppers of later generations are either still in the lumps in South America at this moment, or in the deep mountains and old forests, even elephants are crying hotly.

Peppers that can be seasoned by humans need to be artificially cultivated and improved.

Many wild plants need a certain period of time to be domesticated and improved in order to become crops grown by humans.

Even so, pork is still the main meat dish for the general public.

The key is two words, cheap.

Fan Zheng was not polite, he filled a bowl consciously, and even drank up the soup in a sputtering manner.

"Delicious! It's still the same taste as before!"

Hehe, when Fan Zheng was young, he had a gluttonous appetite. He often went to Aunt Fan's place to eat and drink. Soup and cakes were just a common meal.

Aunt Fan laughed: "Just like to eat! I'm afraid that if you become an official, your mouth will become tricky."

Fan Zheng laughed and said: "What kind of official! It's just that he received fifteen more salary for nothing. Zhen Bang, this kid, has a good plan, but he doesn't want to be a foreign official. With this skill, he can be an official A fine accountant."

Aunt Fan laughed happily, regardless of whether the accountant or her family was higher or lower.

Perhaps, this is the mentality that parents should have. Regardless of the level of their children's achievements, as long as they are willing to walk on the right path, it will be a great thing.

"How is Zhen Xing?"

Aunt Fan laughed for a while, and asked with concern.

Fan Zheng thought about it for a while: "In terms of skills alone, Zhen Xing lags behind Zhen Bang. He can arrange classmates, maintain strength, and mediate disputes. Zhen Xing is very prestigious."

"That's it! No matter what you learn in the future, you can't go astray."

Mrs. Fan stuffed a chicken each, and happily put away the bowl and chopsticks.

Fearing that these monkeys might break the bowls, Aunt Fan's special bowls for them are all wooden bowls polished by Wu Menshan.
