"Actually, I'm more against wasting! Look, there are still free seats on our table, but there are still no seats for the students there... Whoever calls them over here can't waste space. Wasting time is a waste of life!" Hong Tao felt that Wen Hao could tolerate it, so what about the students in the school? These children are all trainees from the Song Dynasty, mostly from small businessmen, and have small business families. I wonder if they will feel even more awkward when they sit next to Wen Hao. Anyway, as long as it is possible, Hong Tao will be happy to try it, and it won't be troublesome.

This meal was the most uncomfortable meal in Wenhao's life, no doubt about it!

First of all, I can't get used to the food. They are all spicy, spicy whale meat and spicy chicken. The spicy taste of this pepper is different from the original seasonings in the Song Dynasty. It's just a vegetarian dish, mixed with egg white paste, and a lot of garlic is added to it, that is, the seaweed egg flower soup is not spicy. However, people in the Song Dynasty were not used to drinking this soup, so seaweed was found in the Song Dynasty, but it was not called seaweed, but Kunbu, it was a Chinese medicine. Whoever had nothing to do with Chinese medicine to make soup and put eggs on it, which was not even more fishy.

Secondly, I am not suitable for the way of eating. Each person has a wooden tray, a pair of chopsticks, a soup bowl, what kind of dishes are in the emperor's tray, and what kind of dishes are in the other trays are there, exactly the same as those of chefs and students. Or on the other hand, what kind of dishes are there in the chefs and chefs, and what kind of dishes are there in the emperor's tray. It is said that because the emperor came, everyone's food has improved. You say that you usually eat this here, and the emperor doesn't make special things even when he comes, but everyone eats the same food anyway.

What makes Wen Hao and the scholars of the Song Dynasty most uncomfortable is that when the chef distributes dishes to everyone, he should remind him: as much as you eat, you must eat it all, and there is no leftover on the plate. This is the law of the empire!

You said that if you let high-ranking officials like Wenhao, those literati who are usually arrogant and some poor families, canteen masters, service staff, faculty and staff sit on the same table and eat with simple wooden plates, bamboo chopsticks, and wooden bowls. It would be strange if they get used to it. However, seeing Hong Tao, Wen Nan and several foreign scholars eat with relish and chatting and laughing, these people can only endure it. If you don’t like to eat, eat less, and no one will compete for food and drink on such occasions, it is embarrassing.

If it was just the first two points, Wen Hao wouldn't feel too uncomfortable, but there was something that left him completely lost his appetite. Everyone had different eating habits, such as Emperor Hong. He used two big wooden spoons to eat, mixing all the dishes and rice together, just like pig food, stuffing them into his mouth one by one. Compared with his slender pair of squinting eyes, his mouth was really connotative. Wen Hao felt that he could only eat this big spoon three times, but Hong Tao stuffed it in one bite, and he still puffed his cheeks and laughed at him.

People who are not used to eating this way and eating at this speed will feel uncomfortable at this time. You want to chew it slowly, but you are surrounded by spoons of big and small flying around you, and they are all swallowing voraciously. Do you still have the mood to taste it slowly? Even if there is, in less than three minutes, the emperor raised his neck and almost pressed the soup bowl on his face. He finished eating, and then looked at you with a smile on his face, asking you questions constantly. How long can you last with the attention of a group of people?

"Xiuyan, when you were in school here, you also ate like this every day?" Not only Wen Hao was awkward, but most Song people were awkward, but Zhao Yong was one of them. In fact, he thought the food tasted good. This kind of pepper produced in Jinhe Country was very expensive in Guangzhou, and there were no restaurants in general, and only high-end restaurants were purchased. However, this way of eating made him feel uncomfortable, especially regardless of status, which was equivalent to denying their privileged status higher than ordinary people. So he began to think about it again, intending to find out the hypocrisy of Jinhe Country from the matter of eating, and then criticize it.

"There were more students at that time than now, and eating was limited. You had to leave your seat within a quarter of an hour and let the next wave of students come in. There was not as much food as now. There was only one meat, one vegetable and one soup, and you could eat rice at will, but no leftovers are allowed... Zigui, I advise you not to be foolish and eat all the food on the plate. If it is really not right, our brothers will eat it for you, so don't leave it."

"Emperor Hong is a moody person. In many things, we think he should be angry, but he can laugh; but in some things that we look very small and not worth mentioning, he is angry. Not to mention you, even if the officials of Jinhe Country come, they are still scolded. Although this is the place of the Song Dynasty, the Jinhe Country warships are all stopped on the sea. Who do you think can stand up for you? Who dares?" Wu Xiuyan, Wu Xiuxing, Xu Yan, and Zhao Rong all went to school in the navigation school. They were used to this kind of scene, and their meals were no different from Hong Tao. After listening to Zhao Yong's words, he looked at the food that was not moved on his plate and immediately knew what he wanted to do.

"If you want to make trouble, wait until the night after tomorrow. I want to hear what the pulp-drain warships in the Mediterranean are like tomorrow! Did you say that Emperor Hong has really been to so many countries? He said that the earth we stepped on was a ball, would it be true?" Wu Xiuxing immediately raised objections when he heard that Zhao Yong was going to make trouble again. He listened carefully. Not only did he listen, he also remembered several notes and focused on the issues he was interested in.

"Absurd! The sky is round and the place has been like this since ancient times. How could it be a ball? If it is a ball, where are you and I? According to Emperor Hong, the ball is still turning, why haven't you and I fallen?" This time, Xu Yan raised objections to Hong Tao's heliocentric theory. Although he had also attended a sailing school, he was still very resistant to such an overly terrifying thing.

"I think Emperor Hong's words are reasonable. I have heard the students of Jinhe Kingdom mention this before, and they have special classes to prove it. Later, I tried it personally according to what they said, and it makes sense. You may not be familiar with walking on the sea. If you just ask a mercenary, they will tell you that if two ships meet on the sea, the first thing they see is the other's mast top, then the sail, and finally the hull. This has been done since ancient times, and no one has thought about it, but Emperor Hong believes that this is the proof that the earth is a ball. Only when the earth is round can this phenomenon occur. Look, I will draw a picture and you will understand after reading it." After hearing the words of his companion, Wu Xiuyan took out a piece of paper from his brother's notes, and drew it directly on the dining table, showing the theory he heard from his classmates in the form of pictures.

"This is no secret in Jinhe Kingdom. The sailors who sailed from Emperor Hong all think that their emperor is right. You may have never seen the charts used by the naval master of Jinhe Kingdom. I have seen them once in Mingzhou. Their charts are covered with dense horizontal and vertical lines, like chessboards. This line is what Emperor Hong invented to calculate distances on the sea. After using sextant meter to observe the sun, he can obtain very accurate numbers. The reason why Emperor Hong was able to travel across the world was also based on this calculation method. Unfortunately, there were several missing in the courses of the Pearson. I could use sextant meter, but I couldn't calculate the specific numbers."

"In these horizontal bars, the middle is the middle of the big ball under our feet. A classmate from Jinheguo told me that when they sailed with the emperor, when they were traveling east and west on this line, the distance was the farthest. In the south or north of this line, the distance would be closer, and the closer it would be to the south or north. For example, my fist is a ball. Look, is the place in the middle the most bulging? If you want to divide it into many small grids, you must be close to the middle.
