Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 424
The men's team did not give the correct answer until the time limit for half a stick of incense was up.

Adhering to the rules of the competition, Master Wang announced: "For the third question, the women's team wins."

"Win, win!"

The women on and off the stage immediately burst into cheers, and the expressions of the masters became a little more relaxed.

At this moment, the man from the men's team suddenly said, "What is the answer? The result is already out. We can always take a look."

"That's right, that's right, let me see and see."

This request is not too much, Mr. Wang gave them the answer sheet.

After watching the men's team, they questioned, "Jurchen?"

"I haven't heard of it, you can't write it randomly."

"If you haven't heard it, it means you wrote it randomly. There are so many things in this world that you don't know." The women's team retorted.

Mr. Wang also wanted to know how Wen Shu knew about it, so he cooperated and said, "For the sake of fairness, it would be more reasonable to really explain it."

Wen Shu had expected it a long time ago, so he had already thought about his answer.

"I saw it in a travel journal."

"Travel notes, what travel notes?"

"It's been a long time, I don't remember clearly."

"You can't even tell the source, don't make it up." The men's team continued to refute.

Someone also said to Mr. Wang: "My lord, she didn't say anything in detail. I'm afraid the facts have yet to be verified."

Wen Shu almost laughed angrily. When Mr. Wang looked at him, he asked back: "They haven't heard of it. Mr. Wang should have heard of it. Even if Mr. Wang doesn't know, the officials are well-versed in the world, so they should know." After all, he looked up at the tower.

Before, she felt that someone upstairs was watching her.

There is no one else who can stand on the edge of the tower and watch her all the time except the official family.

At first, she was still a little apprehensive, wondering if this move was a bit rash.

But after such a stubble just now, it has aroused a bit of temper, so he can do whatever he likes.

Seeing her looking up, Zhao Duan withdrew his gaze and whispered a few words to the people next to him, and then he heard a sharp voice: "The official said that there is indeed such a tribe, so let's continue the competition."

There were officials to testify, and the people below had no objections, so Mr. Wang continued to preside over it.

Next up is the men's team.

Wen Shu returned to the women's team, but the feeling of being stared at still did not disappear.

"You ladies have listened, the first question, where is the name "Chi You's blood"? Why?"

Chiyou blood?

Everyone was thinking about it, when they heard a little lady say: "I know, I know, it seems to be Yanchi in Jiezhou."

"Are you sure?" the person next to her asked her.

The little lady scratched her head and hesitated: "It should be, but I only vaguely remember this name, as for why it got its name, I don't know."

At this time, Wen Shu next to him said, "That's right, it's the Xiezhou Salt Pond. I've heard of it too. The reason why it got the name "Chi You's Blood" is because its brine is red." The formation of the salt pond was also told to the little lady.

Everyone listened to what she said clearly, even knew the reason for the formation of Yanchi, and they were very convincing, so they asked her to answer the question.

Wen Shu declined, saying that the little lady spoke first, and she just added a few words, and it would be better for the original little lady to go.

She is already eye-catching when she hits the head with a gun, it's better to keep a low profile.

Besides, what she wants is the result, and she doesn't care who will implement the process.

Although it was for the benefit of the collective, and she didn't need to care too much about each person's status, she was able to be so humble and won the favor of many women.

With insight and character, it's no wonder Master Li gave her the only spot in the third round.

The little lady over there has already stepped forward to answer the question. After reading the answer, Mr. Wang judged the word "correct answer".

The women shouted instantly, and Wen Shu also laughed.

It is thanks to Mr. Meng Kuo and his "Meng Kuo Bi Tan" that he was able to answer this question correctly. If he hadn't recorded this matter, and she happened to read it that afternoon, she would not be able to react so quickly.

"Second question, how is the rainbow formed?"

As soon as the words were finished, a paragraph of words reflexively appeared in Wen Shu's brain again.

Sun Yanxian said: "The rainbow is the shadow of the sun in the rain, and the sun shines in the rain."

That's right, this sentence also comes from "Meng Kuo Bi Tan", which is Mr. Meng Kuo's summary of the rainbow phenomenon, and it is also a summary borrowed from other people's words.

Since it is borrowing other people's words, it also shows that Mr. Meng Kuo is not the only one who knows about the formation of the rainbow phenomenon.

After thinking about it, Wen Shu was not in a hurry to speak out, and quietly watched the other girls discussing.

Fortunately, after a while, a little lady really stood up and gave a conclusion similar to that of Mr. Meng Kuo.

"A rainbow is the shadow formed by the sun's rays on the rain."

Although this answer is not exactly the same as the answer given by the men's team, the principle is the same, so after Mr. Wang thought about it, he judged it as the correct answer. "

If you get two questions right, it's time to look at the last question.

"The third question, what is the height difference of the river channel from Shangshanmen on the Bianhe River to Sizhou (now Xuyi, Jiangsu) entering the Huaihe River?"

This question directly confused all the ladies and female students.

If you want to ask them the length of the Bian River, they may be able to answer it, but if you want to ask about the height difference of a certain section of the Bian River, it is really a short board.

This, I am afraid that only the people in the Ministry of Industry know.

Hey, they really guessed right, the elders of the student who asked this question really work in the Ministry of Industry.

Seeing their perplexed and helpless looks, the men's team couldn't help but feel delighted.

Hmph, don't think that you are the only ones who can come up with such biased questions!
This Ministry of Industry measurement question may stump you.

Seeing that the time limit was approaching, and the girls still had no answer, the men's team felt that they had a chance to win the game and could draw with the women's team. Wen Shu, who was standing in the back row, made another move.

I saw her leaning over and whispering something to a little lady in front, and then she saw the little lady shout: "197 feet"

As soon as these words came out, the joyful expression on the faces of the men's team froze instantly!Especially the gentleman who made the question, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

How can it be!How could they answer correctly, and answer so accurately.

In order to confuse them, he deliberately adjusted the answer higher.

In fact, the height difference of the road along the Bianhe River is 196.6 feet according to the accurate drawings of the Ministry of Industry.

The extra 6 feet 6 fractions, in order to facilitate the calculation of materials, some officials will directly erase it and count it as 196 feet.Some officials will add a little to count as 197 feet.

Because the error is small, no one will take it seriously, and writing 196 and 197 is fine.

He didn't expect that the answer given by the other party would be exactly the same as the one he gave.

Wen Shu said, who asked you to come up with a question that happened to be the masterpiece of Mr. Meng Kuo.

It is clearly recorded in "Meng Kuo Bi Tan" that Mr. Jian Meng Kuo was ordered to preside over the dredging project of the Bian River earlier, and accurately measured the height difference of the Bian River to be 196.6 feet by using the "layered weir measurement method".

As for why the answer she finally gave was 197 feet.
Wen Shu said that the backing of the system is not for nothing.
