Bai Gui kneeled down to salute, but Xu Xiucai did not stop him. He could bear this ritual. As the saying goes, one day is a teacher and a father for life. The relationship between teachers and students in ancient times was far beyond that of modern times. He was a true disciple. He prospered and both prospered and both disgraced.

A proverb: "Those who gave birth to me are parents, and those who taught me are masters."

However, before Bai Gui gave the ceremony, Xu Xiucai coughed lightly and pointed to the portrait of Confucius hanging on the wall. "The Book of Rites says, "'The beginning of etiquette lies in the body, the color, and the words.' You should clean up first, then worship the most saints and teachers, and then worship them as teachers. Do not be disorganized."

Bai Gui suddenly realized that Confucianism attached great importance to etiquette and he was very happy at the same time. He first worshipped Confucius' portrait, which meant that Xu Xiucai put him in the door wall, which was different from the previous teacher-student relationship that he maintained. This was a real teacher-student relationship!

He tidied up his clothes, swept his eyes behind him, and looked at the braid behind him, which was quite annoying.

The so-called clothing has been lost.

But now is not the time for him to think about this.

Organizing clothes does not mean that you are now sloppy and unclean, but rather that you express solemnity and respect for the Supreme Master.

Should Confucius respect him?

Definitely deserved.

If Confucius had not been to Confucius, then how could a pariah like him enter the school and read poetry and books?!

A series of European countries such as England and France are still in dual-track teaching now. What is dual-track teaching? For example, English's dual-track teaching, one track is specially established for the aristocrats and the bourgeoisie, from top to bottom, from universities to junior high schools, all of which are good schools (grammar schools), while the other track is established for ordinary untouchables, from primary schools to secondary vocational schools.

Simply put, to use modern education as an analogy, it means that after entering junior high school, the children of the untouchables can only go to technical secondary school and technical school, while the sons of the nobles and capitalists go directly to private high schools to study. Untouchables are not qualified to receive university education!

In 1933, the UK promulgated the "Hardo Report" and the dual-track system tended to merge, so that ordinary children could enter grammar schools and have the opportunity to receive university education.

I am a farmer in the morning and I will reach the emperor's hall in the evening!

Since Confucius began to teach privately and broke the situation where officials and schools in the Zhou Dynasty only taught nobles, poor children could also study and become officials or become scholars. This is the greatness of the most sages and teachers.

Bai Gui knelt on Confucius' portrait nine times as Xu Xiucai told him, and then kowtowed to Xu Xiucai three times.

In this way, the master and apprentice's great gift will be achieved.

Xu Xiucai stroked the smooth forehead of the young man kneeling on the ground, his eyes softened, and took out a few big red dates from his pocket and handed them to Bai Gui, "Go, go."

Bai Gui held the black painted wooden board, bowed deeply to Xu Xiucai, and left the dormitory.

...

"The Analects of Confucius" records: "The morning is the yong, and the evening is the yong. "

The ancients and modern people had three meals a day. Ordinary civilians only ate two meals a day, and only princes and nobles only ate three meals a day, or even five meals, including lunch, midnight snack and supper. But by the late Qing Dynasty, they gradually began to eat three meals.

After the school gets off the morning class, generally speaking, most students go home for lunch. Most of them are only seven or eight years old, and are still young and do not have the ability to cook on their own. Moreover, the Bailu Village Ancestral Hall is located in the center of the village and is not far from each household. It is natural to go home for lunch.

Bai Gui didn't go back.

His father is a widower. Although he sometimes cooks with a stove, due to the limitations of ingredients and technical factors, the food he cooks is difficult to chew. Therefore, most of the time, he cooks on the Lu family stove. Bai Youde and Liu Mou'er and other long-time workers eat and drink with the cook. The owner will not eat the same as the servants.

Half a young man is poor.

The chef of the Lu family has always been cold-eyed and domineering to Bai Gui, saying sarcastic and unruly words. Over time, Bai Gui stayed away from the stove.

So he usually makes a fire and cooks himself.

After entering the school, it is natural that the position will be transferred to the school.

"Brother Zhou." Bai Gui put his homework back on the school desk, then walked to the ancestral hall gatehouse, and greeted Zhou Yuan politely at cooking.

Zhou Yuan is from a neighboring village and can only cook in the concierge.

"But I finished memorizing it?"

"What did you say in sir? You are too anxious. There are five hundred words in half a thousand-character text. If you are not familiar with the silhouette, you will hate it."

Zhou Yuan held the tortoiseshell glasses and sighed slightly.

He shook his head and took out the dried biscuits cooked in the pot in a hurry.

He ate the steamed hot pot and a small plate of pickles with relish.

"You use it while it's hot, the water inside has already boiled." Zhou Yuan bit a large piece of cake and said vaguely: "Just let you use the same stove as the forehead. You cook once, I cook once. This way, you can save a lot of time a day."

"Look at how fragrant this Qianxian Guokui is."

Zhou Yuan took another bite.

"Brother Zhou, it's different. The food I brought is full of steamed buns and mixed grains. It's not comparable to you. If you are on the same stove, you will take advantage of you. Others will make you laugh at me when they hear it."

Bai Gui said while taking out the steamed buns he had left a few days ago from the corner of the doorman and put them on the steamer.

Qianxian Guokui exudes the fragrance of white flour.

He swallowed and said to Zhou Yuan: "Sir, I have taught the remaining second half of the quota. It seems that this quota has passed."

"What?"

"You have silently written the first half of the Thousand Characters text?" Zhou Yuan was shocked. Bai Gui had also taken advantage of lunch to ask him some advice. He concluded that Bai Gui was too hasty this time and it was impossible for him to silently complete the first half of the text.

But the result was due to his expectations.

His expression became much warmer. He had kindly asked Bai Gui to build a stove with him, and he had the idea of ​​saving time, but he was not without some disgust.

Now, Bai Gui's performance made him look at him with some admiration.

The gap in identity and status shortens the distance between the two invisibly.

Is the son of a long-term worker and tenant family qualified to sit with him?

No!

He has the meaning of giving.

But is a fellow student who studies hard and has a talented student qualified to sit with him? There is no doubt that there is!

"Eat food!"

He pushed the small jar with pickles.

The pickles are made of white radish, carrots, etc. cut into fine diced shapes and mixed with chili sauce. They are also made in Qianxian County and are the most suitable for eating with Qianxian Guokui.

Bai Gui did not refuse this time, so he picked up one with chopsticks.

The salty taste is strong, and it will be sweet after eating it.

But he just took a few sips and stopped, and then swallowed his steamed buns in big mouthfuls.

If you pickle too much, you will be disliked by the owner, but if you don’t pickle, you will not give Zhou Yuan a face. With the identity of Xu Xiucai’s disciple, Bai Guicai picked up a few chopsticks.

This... means acceptance, and they can be friends.

The dragon does not live with the snake.

Very realistic and cruel.

The steamed buns are made of corn crumbs mixed with noodles.

Modern people add sugar to steamed buns and use white flour. However, the flour mixed with steamed buns that Baigui eats is wheat that has never been shelled, and then crushed with stone mills, which is both dry and astringent.
