Chapter 200 Gan Yuanfeng's Challenge
"Breakfast and dinner are relatively simple, fixed two vegetables, one meat and one soup. There are more choices for lunch, including buns, steamed buns, noodles, rice, and more dishes." Yue Shan explained.

"Wait, you mean the college has three meals a day?" Another person interrupted him and asked.

"Yes, breakfast, lunch and dinner are three meals a day, all year round." Yue Shan said proudly.

As mentioned earlier, in this era, there are basically two meals a day.The reason is simple, poor and cannot afford three meals.

Habits developed over thousands of years have now been accepted by all.Even rich people will abide by this habit.Although rich people can add meals at any time, there are only two real meals.

In the Western Han Dynasty, one of the punishments imposed by the court on Huainan King who was exiled due to rebellion was "two meals a day", that is, only two meals a day were allowed.

In winter, poor families even only have one meal a day, or one meal every two days, just to save food.

Of course, three meals a day is not without it. Before the war, in order to maintain physical strength and boost morale, it will be temporarily changed to three meals a day.But after the war, it will still be changed to two meals.

However, in some areas of the Tang Dynasty, the rich and powerful families have begun to have three meals a day. They call breakfast cold food, but it has not yet spread.It was not until the Song Dynasty that three meals a day became popular.

After Yueshan opened the academy, he directly used three meals a day, which was just a very common thing.But from the perspective of people in this era, it is also a kind of benevolent government.

If there were people who suspected that Yue Shan was putting on a show at the beginning, they have completely dispelled such thoughts now.Yue Shan practically implemented Confucian benevolence into every aspect of life.

Then Yue Shan introduced the real situation of the school cafeteria.

"The dishes are not fixed. The cafeteria staff will go to the market to buy vegetables every day, and they will buy whatever is cheaper."

"However, the weather is still relatively cold now, and this year's new dishes haven't come down yet. Most of the vegetables I eat are vegetables stored last year, mainly cabbage, radishes, and dried vegetables."

"There will be at least one kind of meat dish every day. Although the meat is relatively small, there is no way to do it. It is really limited. But every seven days the academy will provide a real meat dish. It is pure meat made in a big pot. .”

"Wait until the poultry in the academy is ready. Every morning, students will be provided with a chicken, and there will be more meat dishes."

After he finished his introduction, he received another burst of applause, not surprisingly.Then Wang Ji suddenly said: "I'm not allowed to eat anymore, the food is cold."

It caused everyone to burst into laughter, and then started breakfast in a pleasant atmosphere.

In fact, the taste of the food can only be said to be average. After all, everyone knows the big pot of rice, and it is difficult to make it delicious.But because of the mood, everyone ate deliciously.Nobody had leftovers or anything anyway.

After that, Yue Shan took them to visit classrooms, student dormitories and other places, and the standardized management mode of later generations won everyone's favor again.The unhappiness about sending disciples and juniors to teach here also dissipated a lot.

Not long after, Bao Dalin came to report that Pei Ju and many people were coming to the gate of the academy.

It's okay if Li Gang came suddenly and he didn't go to greet him. If Pei Ju brought someone here, he would be rude if he didn't go.So Yue Shan hurried to the door, and Li Gang and others also followed to meet him.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw a huge motorcade also stopped, and Pei Ju got out of the car with a lot of people.

"Pei Gong, you are here." Yue Shan greeted him.

"Is it well cleaned up?" Pei Ju nodded, looking satisfied at the clean environment.

Then, the scholars greeted each other, taking advantage of this opportunity, Yue Shan also met many famous scholars.

Just as the group was about to enter the gate of the campus, they suddenly heard someone shouting from the side: "I have a few arithmetic problems in Xiaxingzhou Ganyuan Peak. I imagine you to ask for advice. I hope Qingshuihou will not hesitate to enlighten me."

Ok?Not only Yue Shan, everyone showed expressions of surprise and disgust.

They could guess why this man named Gan Yuanfeng challenged Yueshan, in order to make a name for himself.

The imperial court has decided to hold the imperial examination this year, and scholars who are interested in becoming an official are flocking to it.Many people want to make a name for themselves in Chang'an, which will give them extra points.You can even get recommended directly to become an official.

Some people become famous by promoting their own poems, and some choose to provoke others to become famous.This Gan Yuanfeng presumably wanted to challenge Yueshan to become famous.

There is no way, Yue Shan's reputation is too loud in the reading circle in Chang'an City recently.And it looks like the best bully too.

It is too impolite to just choose a day when someone else's family has a big event and it is inconvenient to challenge, and it can even be said that they are here to make a vendetta.

For this person who called himself Gan Yuanfeng, everyone's favorability suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Even if some people don't take Yue Shan seriously, etiquette is etiquette. If you openly violate the rules agreed by scholars, no one will like you.

Yue Shan turned his head and found a young man in his early twenties looking at him with contempt.Perhaps it was the first time he was a little nervous to be watched by so many famous people, and of course it might be excited, anyway, his face was flushed.

"Yue Shan met Brother Gan. Today is a great day for a certain academy, so it is inconvenient to discuss knowledge. Why don't you come to ask for advice in person?" Today is a special day, and Yue Shan really doesn't want to be too busy, so he backed down.

"You don't need to reschedule, I'll just ask a few questions so that you don't waste your time. Why, Qingshuihou didn't dare?" Gan Yuanfeng didn't know that he didn't pay attention to him at all, and pressed him step by step.

Yue Shan frowned, anger grew in his heart, and he no longer had so many scruples, but he still said in a polite tone: "Since that's the case, please enlighten me."

"Today there are pheasant rabbits in the same cage, with 35 heads on top and 94 feet on the bottom. How about the pheasant rabbits?" Gan Yuanfeng stepped forward and looked down at Yueshan Road.

Hearing this question, Yue Shan really felt like he couldn't laugh or cry. I'm afraid this person is not mentally ill?If you really want to challenge me to become famous, you should also choose a few more difficult questions.Dare to come up with such a famous question through the ages, I really don't know how to say it.

But no matter what Gan Yuanfeng thinks, he really doesn't want to compete with someone of this level, it's too cheap.So he shook his head and said:

"You dare to challenge in public. I thought you had such profound knowledge. I didn't expect to ask such a simple question. How about this? Let my disciple come and discuss with you first. If you can beat him, he will come to find you." I."

After speaking, Yue Shan didn't wait for him to react, and directly shouted to the crowd: "Feng Yi, come here and discuss arithmetic with this scholar Gan."

This scholar is not that scholar. At this time, a scholar is only a handsome talent, and he can be called anyone.

Feng Yi, who had just come to help Yue Shan arrange the carriage, came out, first saluted Yue Shan and the others, and then said to Gan Yuanfeng: "Gan Xiucai, I have at least three solutions to your question, I don't know which one I want to hear? "
