"Brother Meihe, stop talking, do you have anything to eat?"
"We are both starving to death..."
Wu Huaixian looked at the handbag held by Bai Gui.
The eyes are straight.
Like a wild wolf braving the green light at night.
Seeing this, Bai Gui immediately took out some sushi and sashimi that he bought on the way in Tokyo. He has the habit of buying some snacks when he returns to Hachioji City from Tokyo. Compared with Tokyo, Hachioji City's catering is poor.
A little depressed.
The taste is not as good as the ones in Tokyo.
The two devoured it.
Soon, it disappeared.
"I'll go to Tangren Town to eat Cantonese noodles later. I'll treat you."
Bai Gui said.
The two of them nodded. After studying hard in the dormitory for so many days, if Bai Gui had not brought fresh sushi and sashimi, they could still have persisted. But now they have eaten sushi and sashimi that are far more delicious than dry food.
The greedy person can no longer hold back and wants to go out for a big meal.
Hachioji City has a Chinatown.
It was about a mile or two away from Yi Gao. After walking for a while, they arrived.
Very small street.
When we entered the Japanese restaurant, we found that the restaurant owner was not from the Qing Dynasty, but from Japan.
According to him, he learned this craft in Chinatown and opened a noodle shop in his hometown.
Foreign monks like to chant sutras.
Generally, people who are used to Japanese food will want to find something else to eat.
Japan is a country lacking in delicious food.
"Three bowls of Cantonese noodles, and one more Shaomai..."
Several people order food.
In addition to Cantonese noodles, the menu also includes "wontons", "shaomai", "gray rice dumplings with Tang juice" and other dishes with Chinese characteristics and some Japanese flavors.
The Cantonese noodles were served quickly.
It is somewhat similar to the Japanese ramen of later generations, but there are only a few ways to make noodles, and they will be repeated over and over again. Similar to Jin Province and Qin Province, the two major pasta provinces, the repetition rate of pasta is very high, and the names are also different, such as
Cat ears and mochi are exactly the same.
Not to mention that Cantonese noodles are the origin of Japanese ramen…
Today, Japan still does not have the national dish of Japanese ramen, which will become famous in later generations.
There are two theories about the origin of Japanese ramen. One is that a Cantonese chef surnamed Liu came to Yokohama to open a noodle shop and sold Liu noodles. The other is that the Cantonese noodles were sold in 1910 at Lailaixen in Asakusa, Tokyo.
It's the origin...
The noodles are clear soup noodles with several vegetables, including barbecued pork, shredded green onions and dried bamboo shoots.
There are very few dried bamboo shoots, just a little bit.
This is a luxury product in Japan today, because Japan does not have bamboo shoots or pickled dried bamboo shoots, so it must be imported from the Qing Dynasty.
Dried bamboo shoots were also called "China bamboo" and later called noodles.
This is where Menma Uzumaki (Naruto) comes from.
…
The peaceful days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the academic ability evaluation.
This time it was rare that Bai Gui did not use a plug-in to obtain the test questions. He felt that this was unfair to the students of the first grade.
Of course, the main reason is that the performance of the mid-term exam does not have much impact on him. Unlike the real benefits of the imperial examination, the difficulty has also dropped by more than one level...
Besides, he has complete confidence in this. Even if he won't win, he will be sure of being among the best.
Early in the morning, before dawn, Liu Mingda and Wu Huaixian held the kerosene lamp and began to study hard and work extremely hard.
Bai Gui was practicing his talent for subtlety at this time, and his nervous reactions were a little sensitive. He also couldn't sleep, so he read with them for a while and practiced silently for a while.
No matter how good your memory is, you still have to speculate on some minor details.
The mid-term proficiency assessment of the first high school was conducted by the three departments together to avoid cheating and taking the exam. There were no surveillance cameras at this time, so even if there were photos, people who looked similar could probably pass the test.
The time for each subject of the academic ability assessment test is very short.
The first subject is Japanese history, the second subject is Western history, the third subject is Chinese and Western philosophy, the fourth subject is Zhu Xi studies, and the fifth subject is French literature.
The first three courses are public courses, and the last two courses are professional courses.
There are a total of five subjects. If it were a high school in later generations, the courses would probably be very heavy. However, the colleges and universities at this time were college preparatory courses, which were all preparations for entering university. Some subjects were not studied for further study until university. At this time, they were only briefly taught.
There are three exams on the first day and two exams on the second day, one and a half hours each time.
Bai Gui calmed down, wrote hard, and immersed himself in answering the questions. Of the five subject questions, only the fifth one was slightly difficult for him. The names of some French schools were really obscure, and the names of people were particularly difficult to pronounce, but he had a very good memory.
Okay, I have almost a photographic memory, and I answered these questions very smoothly.
Even when taking some subjects, hand in the papers in advance.
He has already gained all the limelight in Japan, and there is no need to hide his weakness in school exams.
The two-day exam came to an end in a leisurely manner.
"This time my hard study has finally paid off. When I get along with my brother Meihe, I don't have to worry about Zhu Zixue. There is no need to worry about Western history. Japanese history is a little difficult, but it is also easy to answer..."
After the exam was over, Liu Mingda and Wu Huaixian expressed their gratitude to Bai Gui.
It is said that those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. They sleep with Bai Gui and often read a lot of books. During the exam, some questions happened to be read in the books or mentioned in daily conversations.
In my heart.
For those who have read poetry and books, their words will become chapters.
"This time, if I am in the top 30 for my preparatory course for studying abroad...if I am not in the top 50, I am safe!"
Liu Mingda slapped his chest and laughed.
He originally wanted to say the top thirty, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there were only eighty people in the preparatory course for studying abroad, but in fact, each of them was a prodigy carefully selected from each province. Being in the top fifty was already very good.
Already.
Bai Gui was a little surprised. He didn't know how Liu Mingda gained his self-confidence. You must know that even though he took the exam of the five special schools in Shanghai, he only got seventh place.
But he didn't say any words to attack.
"The exams in our first department are relatively easy, but those in the second department are a bit more difficult. Orchid science is not that easy, and the medicine in the third department is a bit scary, including dissecting cadavers... Fortunately, I didn't choose the medical department..."
"
Wu Huaixian said.
In modern Japan, Western scientific and cultural knowledge was collectively referred to as Lanxue. The literal meaning is easy to understand. It is the general name for the academic, culture, and technology introduced to Japan by the Dutch. The full name is Dutch academics, and the Western Confucian school of the Ming Dynasty.
It's almost the same.
The second department of the first high school has too many subjects, including science, agriculture, engineering, pharmacy, etc., so it is too troublesome to name it. Among the students, it is collectively called the second department as Lanxue.
In the afternoon of the next day, the public course results were released.
Almost all students studying in Japan were ranked at the top, squeezing out students from Japan. Among the top 200, students studying in Japan accounted for 40%, and the rest were top students from Japan.
This is also easy to understand. Students studying in Japan are all selected from a thousand. Although Japanese students with high grades are also elites, their difficulty level is undoubtedly inferior to that of students studying in Japan. Not to mention that most students studying in Japan study hard and rarely see waste.
The man of time.
But what surprised many people was that Bai Meihe actually won the preparatory course for international students!
