Chapter 214
Su Chen thought for a moment and prepared ten questions.
After five days of training, those candidates have mastered the pinyin and punctuation marks in Chinese, and the lowercase numbers are even simpler.
The Chinese-related questions include word formation based on pinyin;
A brief discussion of the Battle of Red Cliffs, which mainly tests the use of punctuation marks.
Mathematics is simple, some routine addition, subtraction, multiplication and division calculations.
They have not yet learned junior high school mathematics, and Su Chen plans to reprint the junior high school mathematics textbooks and give them to them to study on their own.
At least until the school starts.
"Well, it's almost done. Let the other two teachers come up with questions, and they should all pass the test!"
Looking at the watch, it's almost time for lunch, so he got up and left the study.
...
"Son-in-law!"
Jin'er smiled and greeted Su Chen, but her steps did not stop.
"Hey, what is housekeeper Jin'er busy with?"
Su Chen just walked out of the study and happened to meet housekeeper Jin'er, who ran towards Princess Changle's bedroom like a madman.
"I'm going to invite the young lady to dinner!"
Jin'er stopped, turned around and looked at Su Chen and smiled.
"Son-in-law, do you have anything else to do?"
Su Chen waved his hand, "Nothing, let's talk about it after dinner. Go and get busy first!"
I wanted to ask her about the progress of the school's construction and the accommodation arrangements for those candidates, but I think it's better to talk about it after lunch.
"Okay!"
Since Jin'er became the housekeeper of the manor, Princess Changle asked her to just be a good housekeeper and not worry about her daily life.
Today, Princess Changle and Su Chen just came back from Hua County, and Jin'er just wanted to see Princess Changle.
Su Chen came to the side hall for dinner, and there was no one inside.
"Marquis!"
Several servants carrying dishes greeted Su Chen, and Su Chen smiled and nodded in response.
Su Chen glanced at the dishes on the table.
"Huh? Today we have braised duck. Let Master Liu make beer duck for us some other day."
Since Su Chen came to the manor, he has not eaten duck many times.
He eats chicken even less. He probably wants to keep the chicken for eggs.
After a while, Li Tai came to the dining room with what seemed to be a newspaper in his hand.
"Su Chen!"
Li Tai sat down next to Su Chen and handed him a newspaper.
"Is the newspaper ready?"
Su Chen did not take the newspaper. He was waiting for everyone to gather and eat.
He was too lazy to take the newspaper and went to wash his hands again.
"Well, ten copies were printed. See if there are any changes that need to be made." Li Tai handed the newspaper to Su Chen again.
"Don't read it now. Wait until after dinner. Go wash your hands and talk after dinner."
Su Chen waved his hand and said.
"Okay."
Li Tai nodded, stood up and put the newspaper aside.
Eight people came one after another, four men and four women.
"Where is Rengui?"
Su Chen saw Li Ke coming to the dining room alone. He and Xue Rengui were inseparable, so Su Chen asked.
"Rengui went to have dinner with his aunt." Li Ke replied indifferently.
"Oh, everyone, please take a seat. I'm hungry."
Su Chen immediately invited everyone to the table to eat. He had eaten two buns at four o'clock in the morning and was very hungry now.
"Lizhi, why do you have a charming fragrance?"
Chang Sun Yao put his head close to Princess Changle, sniffed hard, grabbed a bunch of Princess Changle's hair, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.
"This fragrance comes from the hair."
Chang Sun Yao checked Princess Changle's "body" as if solving a case, and finally found out that the fragrance came from her hair.
Fang Jingyi also came forward to smell it.
"Lizhi, tell the truth quickly to avoid physical pain!"
Changsun Yao stared at Princess Changle's eyes to prevent her from lying.
Princess Changle glanced at Su Chen unconsciously.
Su Chen was only busy eating and didn't care about what they were singing.
"Oh~!"
Changsun Yao said meaningfully, and when Princess Changle glanced at Su Chen, she was discovered by Changsun Yao.
"Are you hungry? This lady is going to eat, and I don't have time to care about you."
Princess Changle rolled her eyes at Changsun Yao and said unhappily.
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, please eat!"
Changsun Yao politely picked up a piece of high-quality duck meat and put it in Princess Changle's bowl.
Usually, when everyone eats, they never pick up food for each other. It is not easy to sit at the same table to eat from the previous separate dining system.
It is quite impolite to pick up food for others with chopsticks that have been used to pick up food.
Chang Sun Yao had just sat down, so her chopsticks were still unused.
However, Su Chen often ate what Princess Chang Le had left.
…
"Enjoy your meal, everyone!"
Princess Chang Le put down her bowl and chopsticks, greeted everyone, and left the table immediately.
"Jing Yi, don't let her run away, you must interrogate her strictly!"
Chang Sun Yao and Fang Jing Yi, bowed slightly to everyone, and quickly chased after Princess Changle.
"Enjoy your meal, my Lord, Jin'er will take his leave!"
Then Jin'er left the restaurant.
"Brother-in-law, have you read the 'Eight Tips for Pig Farming' I wrote in the newspaper?"
The pig farmer changed his seat and came to Su Chen and asked.
"I haven't read it yet, but your pig farming technology is not suitable for publication in newspapers now.
First of all, you can't provide so many piglets, and then there is not so much food for pig farming.
Therefore, if you want to promote pig farming technology, you have to wait until your one thousand pigs give birth."
Su Chen said slowly. He estimated that the pigs would give birth at the beginning of next year at the latest. Food will be available soon.
"Okay, brother-in-law, I understand. I'll leave first!"
Li You nodded and ran out.
Su Chen stood up and walked to the side, picked up the newspapers, and handed one to Li Ke.
"Read the newspaper?"
Li Ke shook his head, "You guys read it, I'll go find Rengui." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Su Chen took the newspaper and took a few casual glances.
"Tsk~tsk~I really admire these craftsmen!
It's really amazing that they can carve these words so small, and the font size is almost the same!"
Su Chen looked at the font on the newspaper. Although it can't be compared with the size 5 font printed on A4 paper by modern printers.
But it's amazing to be able to do this.
The font of the main text on the newspaper is close to the size of size 4 font.
Su Chen didn't read the content at all. He just looked at the layout style and font size of the newspaper.
"Huh? This is wrong. It should be the eleventh year of the Tang Dynasty."
Su Chen pointed to the 'second year of Zhenguan' under the headline "Chang'an Daily" and said to Li Tai.
"You don't really want to erase your father's Zhenguan reign, do you?"
Li Tai looked at Su Chen in disbelief and asked.
Su Chen had told them a long time ago that ‘there will be no such title as Zhenguan in the future’, and they thought that Su Chen was just saying it casually.
Li Tai could imagine that if his father knew that Su Chen was really going to do this, he would be furious if he cancelled the Zhenguan era name.
What is the difference between canceling the emperor's era name and rebelling and changing the dynasty?
"It's okay, just change it like this."
"Just do it with the newspaper, take this and see if you can make alcohol in the next two or three days.
Remember, alcohol cannot be drunk, it will kill people."
Su Chen took out a copy of the steps for alcohol extraction from his arms and gave it to Li Tai.
"Okay, I'll study it later." Li Tai took it and put it away, then asked:
"Su Chen, can the hollow bamboo you use for winemaking and purification be replaced by glass tubes?"
Su Chen was stunned by Li Tai's question, and opened his mouth to look at Li Tai and couldn't say anything.
After a while...
"You are really a genius..."
Glass tubes are good!
