Siheyuan: Starting from a fitter

Chapter 363 Questions from Westerners
After visiting the exhibits, Li Guocheng was generally satisfied, but he still felt that there were some shortcomings.

Standing in the last exhibition hall and reminiscing, my thoughts gradually became clearer.

"Bai Yu, this layout is very good, allowing visitors to understand the science and technology, literature, medicine, geography and other subjects of various dynasties.

But it’s a bit scattered, and if they watch too much, they will develop visual fatigue.”

Bai Yu thought for a while and said, "Indeed, this is our mistake. I will think of ways to improve it as soon as possible."

"Okay, don't blame yourself, it's already very good. I have a suggestion, you make a brochure, and every visitor will have a copy.

It is divided into mathematics, physics, chemistry, agriculture, medicine, biology, geography, architecture, etc., and is systematically introduced to show the evolutionary history of each subject.

Let everyone understand that any discipline or technology is not achieved overnight. Secondly, there is a process of accumulation and qualitative change.

In this way, when everyone visits, they first read the manual and then follow it. It’s like a treasure hunt. If you can’t finish it at one time, you can come back next time.”

Li Guocheng talked a lot eloquently.

"Director Li, your method is great, but it is too expensive."

"Do you think our exhibition hall can be profitable?"

"It might be possible to collect tickets, but this can sustain daily consumption. It would be too difficult to recoup the initial investment."

“Our exhibition hall is for public welfare and there is no charge. All expenses are borne by me personally.

I emphasize again that you, the curator, must remember: the only purpose of our exhibition hall is to promote Chinese culture.No matter how much money I spend, I am willing to do it.”

"I was wrong, Chairman."

"I understand you, and you are thinking about me, but you cannot deviate from the theme."

"Don't worry, every penny of the exhibition hall is spent where it should be spent."

"Let's go and see the food culture area."

Bai Yu took Li Guocheng to the food and culture area. There are now 6 people here, two of them are Shazhu and Ma Hua, and the other 4 people were recruited by Bai Yu Society.

The silly salary of 3000 directly made him give up his job in the rolling mill, apply for a suspension without pay, and stay in the exhibition hall with his apprentice every day.

Because the museum is not open at this stage, we are responsible for the meals for the employees of this exhibition hall.

The canteen is on the underground floor, and there will be a dedicated canteen master in the future.

Except for MCA, the other five of these six have unique skills.

Shazhu's Tan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, others basically only specialize in one cuisine, such as Shandong cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Hunan cuisine and Anhui cuisine, and others such as Jiangsu cuisine, Fujian cuisine, and Zhejiang cuisine, they all know a little bit.

When the museum opens in the future, each of them will be responsible for a department and can take one apprentice.

According to the requests of visitors, some special dishes are prepared on site for them to taste, and the price is cheaper than outside.

Now they are learning Eastern etiquette under the guidance of etiquette teachers and history teachers, with the goal of conveying Chinese food culture in cooking.

In the visitor dining area, there will be beautiful ladies teaching everyone to experience the food culture of different dynasties.

The only regret is that the models of the magnificent Weiyang Palace and Daming Palace have not yet been completed, otherwise the shock and impact would make everyone full of admiration for ancient architectural art.

In the main hall, Li Guocheng requested that a specially built exhibition hall be restored according to historical materials at a ratio of 1:1.

They will complete the main construction first, and then Li Guocheng will optimize it to ensure it conforms to the characteristics of the times and enhances the artistic value.

In the exhibition hall of each dynasty, there are ladies dressed in period-specific costumes who act as commentators.

Tang Dynasty costumes were designed by Li Guocheng himself after consulting historical records, and their artistic expression was significantly higher than those of other dynasties.

Originally, Li Guocheng wanted to build a wedding venue in the Tang Dynasty, but there was really no space and he had to give up.

As the soul of modern people, Li Guocheng is very satisfied with the content and form of the exhibition hall.

Three days later, the exhibition hall opened quietly without any ribbon-cutting activities. Only flyers were sent to several nearby schools.

At the beginning, it was deserted every day, with few people visiting.

But with the word-of-mouth publicity from people who have visited, the number of people gradually increased.

I learned that the principal of a nearby primary school came here because of the museum and was shocked by the exhibits in the venue and the cultural atmosphere full of characteristics of this era.After he returned, he organized various classes to sign up for a visit.

It got out of hand, first this elementary school, then other nearby elementary schools, and slowly expanded to middle schools and universities.

Then it expanded to the whole of Kyoto.

Due to the large number of visitors, Bai Yu had to adopt a reservation system to restore order in the exhibition hall.

On this day, a dozen Western students poured into the exhibition hall, and the others who made reservations were primary and secondary school students.

"Shit! That's nonsense. The origin of technology is the West. How can it be your braided country?" a handsome boy retorted thinking about the commentator.

Li Guocheng had already prepared a response plan for this.

So the young lady took her time and started to argue with the classics.

When the boy was asked, China has already had calculus works, and it has its historical development, accumulation and first application, and it has been systematically organized and explained.

The other party started to hesitate, but in the end there was really no other way. "It is a gift from God to us loyal believers."

The young lady smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, in the Ming Dynasty Pavilion, this group of students seemed to have found the biggest loophole and started making a lot of noise.

Young ladies from the Ming Dynasty had long recited the memories of ancient radios, and would step forward to listen to the other party's opinions.

"Haha, helicopters were actually invented by you Chinese people. How unconfident are you to make up nonsense here."

“Sir, this is history.

The world now recognizes the bamboo dragonfly as the prototype of the propeller. In the 18th century, bamboo dragonflies were introduced to Europe. Westerners saw this thing for the first time and called it the "Chinese flying top."

Ge Hong wrote in the article "Baopuzi·Neipian·Miscellaneous Responses" (Volume [-]): The invention of the flying car.

In the early Qing Dynasty, Xu Zhengming, a skilled craftsman in Wuxian County, continued to improve the "栠栳 Chair" which was more like a modern helicopter.

According to records, the flying machine "栲栳 Chair" is an exquisite concept. "There is a mechanism underneath, and the teeth are interlocked. A person sits in the chair and hits the board with his two feet. The machine spins in the wind and flies away."

Therefore, this is a human-driven rotorcraft, and it can "leave more than a foot off the ground and fly across the harbor branches without a bridge", which makes the locals marvel."

"Impossible, you are fabricating this, it is fake history. You actually dare to steal our achievements and put them in the exhibition hall openly. I want to complain to you."

"Sir, please be polite and don't roar loudly."

The young lady wearing a Ming Dynasty dress reminded me tactfully.

The classmates next to him looked around with disdainful eyes, and pulled this classmate out of the exhibition hall in a hurry.

The teachers and students who witnessed the whole process applauded the young lady.

The young lady who was so generous just now became shy instead, her smile was slightly red, she tried hard to maintain etiquette, and frequently wanted to salute around her.
