Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 423
"Please ask the woman to come up with the second question."

"May I ask what the silver needles in the dish "Thousands of Silver Needles" refer to?"

When asked about the recipe, this stumped the students.

As I said before, the students of Taixue spend their whole life on studying, and few of them are proficient in miscellaneous studies. When it comes to cooking, it can be regarded as a shortcoming.

The students huddled together and discussed for a long time, but couldn't figure out why.

Some people say that they don’t know anyway, so it’s better to analyze the wave according to their own ideas, maybe they can hit the right one.

First of all, the silver needles here cannot be real silver needles. There is a high probability that the ingredients look like silver needles.

It looks like a silver needle and can be eaten.
The Taixue students quickly formed a group to discuss.

After a while, some guessed, will it be honeysuckle?

Because honeysuckle (honeysuckle) has a petal called silver, and after closing, it is really slender, so I tentatively gave this answer.

After reading the answer, Master Wang of the Ministry of Rites shook his head at them, denying the answer.

Everyone saw that it was wrong, and immediately discussed again.

A student from the south of the Yangtze River said that there is a kind of fish in the south of them, which is called whitebait because of its small size. Could it be the silver needle in this "Thousand Silk Burning Silver Needle".

Everyone felt that it sounded a little plausible, so they tried to give an answer again.

Lord Wang shook his head again.

Seeing that the time limit was approaching, the students in the first row were in a hurry. It was not a good sign to lose the first round.

At this moment, a small voice came from behind: "Could it be a fishbone?"

The one who spoke was a Taixue student standing in the second row, surnamed Song.

He opened a restaurant in his family. Not long ago, he just went to the restaurant to help out for two days, and he seemed to have heard a chef say that a fishbone is like a silver needle.

At this time, seeing that the people in the first row had lost their minds, they tried to express their thoughts.

After listening to the students in the first row, they felt that it made sense. Although this is the last chance, but the time limit is approaching now, no matter whether he is right or not, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Then reported the answer.

"Fishbone!"

Lord Wang of the Ministry of Rites had seen the answer before, and was about to nod when he heard the words, when someone shouted from the woman's side: "It's not fair, I saw the people in the second row leaning forward and talking to the gentleman in the first row, they Violated the rules of the game."

"Is there such a thing?" Lord Wang turned to look at the men's team.

"I see it for real, the third gentleman from the left in the second row." Miss Li said in the first row.

She usually has a rather aggressive personality, so seeing this injustice, she naturally refused to give in.

Being identified, Song Langjun blushed. Faced with Mr. Wang's question, he was embarrassed to deny it, but he didn't want to bear the name of breaking the rules, so he insisted: "I was talking to someone, but the rules of the game It’s also not that the people in the second and third rounds are allowed to speak out.”

"You're making a fool of yourself. If you can participate in the discussion, then what's the point of dividing the first round, the second round, and the third round? It's fine for everyone to join together." Li Xiaoniang said.

"If you don't say it clearly, it doesn't mean you can't." The men's team voiced their support for Song Langjun.

The women were also anxious, and said one after another, "If you don't say it, it means you can't do it!"

The rules have been debated, and the most difficult thing to do is refereeing. Mr. Wang is also very embarrassed at this time. Looking at it from a neutral attitude, it seems that both parties are right.
However, this matter still has to be resolved.

Fortunately, the officials are sitting on top. Let the officials make decisions on such embarrassing matters.

Thinking of this, Mr. Wang hurriedly asked Zhao Duan for instructions, "It is true that there is no explicit statement on this matter, and I ask the officials to make a decision."

Zhao Duan looked down and thought for a moment, "Because the space is limited, it is difficult to isolate the sound. To show fairness, all participants are allowed to discuss freely."

"Ah, why is this so, I didn't say it earlier." The women's team was a little annoyed.

But the decree has been made, it is useless for them not to be angry, they can only think of the best.

"Second question, fishbone, correct answer!" Mr. Wang announced the result, "The women's team, please continue to ask questions."

The women immediately formed a group to discuss whether to change the title.

After all, the opponent has already answered two of the three questions in the first round. If the last one is also answered correctly, then the opponent will win this round. The best result is that they also answered the opponent's question. Then draw.

But before the other party asked the question, they didn't have much confidence.

"What questions were you planning to ask?" Wen Shu pushed forward and asked in a low voice.

After all the girls said it, Wen Shu made a judgment, and felt that judging from the situation of answering the question just now, the other party might still be able to answer this question.

She said the prediction, and the girls were tangled, "Then what should I do, it's too late to think about it now."

Wen Shumo was silent, and asked a question, "Do you know that there is a tribe called Jurchen in the Heishui area in the northernmost part of Daliao?"

The girls shook their heads. Although they sometimes go out with their father and brother to see and hear, their footprints are limited to the country, and they have never been to other countries, let alone the north of other countries.

"You don't know, so maybe they don't know either." Wen Shu quietly pointed to the men's team.

Everyone thought about it. Although study tours are a tradition for men, the climate of the Liao Kingdom in the north is very different from that of the Song Dynasty. Very few students will travel there, and it is very likely that they know very little about it.

However, it is not ruled out that some people have heard of it.

It's just that the probability of this is much smaller.

After comparing the two, everyone felt that the questions given by Wen Shu were more difficult than the ones they had set before, and they were all for winning, so they didn't care about face.

"Then decide on this question. Since you proposed it, then you can write the question, and I will write the answer." One person said.

Wen Shu nodded, took a deep breath against the huge pressure on the tower, stepped forward and said: "The third question, what is the name of the tribe next to Heishui in the north of Liao Kingdom?"

As soon as this remark came out, Zhao Duan on the tower immediately paused and looked down.

Lu Yuancheng, who had a relaxed face, was also taken aback, and glanced downstairs, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

How did she know that the Jurchen tribe was told by Qin Pei that they had already contacted her?

Not to mention the thoughtfulness of the people upstairs, this question really stumped the Taixue students downstairs.

The Taixue students had a group discussion, but found nothing. Someone tentatively gave an answer, but none of them was the correct answer.

When the women's team saw it, they were all overjoyed.

Really stumped them, great!
Master Wang of the Ministry of Rites glanced at the answer given by the women's team, and his mind was full of questions, Jurchen?

The people of the Liao Kingdom lived on grass and had many tribes. Although farming appeared after the occupation of Yanyun, most of them were nomadic, because the tribes were numerous and scattered.

The Jurchens lived in the northernmost part of the Liao Dynasty and had little contact with our dynasty until recently.
Moreover, they used to call themselves Dajin, and the word "Jurchen" was rarely mentioned. Where did this little lady know about it?
