"Prime Minister Du, ahead is Shanghe Village!"
"Shanghe Village?" Du Ruhui opened the car curtain and took a look. He saw several children fishing for fish on the river bank, playing and having fun, and bursts of laughter could be heard.
People are easily infected by happiness, and Du Ruhui couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the innocence of those children.
"Let's get out of the car and go for a walk!"
Du Ruhui walked over with his attendants, and just as he was about to ask, he heard Goudan ask: "Erya, do you think the proprietor said today why two stones, one large and one small, fell to the ground at the same time?"
The yellow-haired girl named Erya has a pigtail on her head. Among all the children in Shanghe Village, she learns things the fastest.
Not only did Tang Ping not look down on her because she was a girl, but when she performed best, he would also give her some small rewards that were exclusive to girls.
For example, rubber bands used to tie hair.
Therefore, Erya is also the child in Shanghe Village who admires Tang Ping the most.
"I don't know. Didn't the proprietor ask us to think for ourselves?"
After Tang Ping finished his math class today, he saw a student giving him a piece of fruit. He thought of the story of Newton and Apple, so he briefly told everyone some interesting anecdotes he knew.
Two of the stones fell to the ground at the same time. The purpose was actually to let these students learn to observe and think independently.
Du Ruhui was confused when he heard that if two stones, one large and one small, fell from the same height, shouldn't the heavier one fall to the ground first and the lighter one last?
But without him having to question, a tall and thin child climbed up a big tree by the river.
"Goudan, here are two rocks, one big and one small!"
"Okay! Slender Monkey, let's go on!" Several children scattered, and then Goudan tossed it several times, and finally threw two stones of different sizes to Slender Monkey.
The thin monkey held a stone the size of a red date in one hand, and a stone larger than a fist in the other hand.
"Wait, wait!" Erya and Goudan led a group of friends to the opposite side, half-crouching on the river beach, looking at the river.
These children happened to be right next to Du Ruhui's master and servants, so Du Ruhui couldn't help but imitate them and squat down.
"Skinny Monkey, it's okay!"
"Okay!"
The two hands stretched out by the thin monkey let go at the same time, and then with a pop, two large and small splashes of water were thrown on the river.
"How's it going?" The thin monkey jumped down from the tree and asked curiously.
"Zhendi, Zhendi fell into the river at the same time!"
After Goudan finished speaking, he also climbed up the tree and said to Skinny Monkey: "I will throw it away this time, and you can watch from below!"
Then the same scene as before appeared again, and two water splashes, one large and one small, bloomed at the same time.
Du Ruhui was already a little dazed at this time. It turned out that in everyone's subconscious mind, they always thought that the bigger stones would fall to the ground first, while the smaller stones would fall to the ground later if they were lighter. Unexpectedly, they would fall to the ground at the same time.
"Young lady, what's the point of this?" Du Ruhui stopped Erya beside him and asked curiously.
When Erya saw how Du Ruhui was dressed, she knew that he was not an ordinary person. However, since the last time the proprietor sold the thing called MSG, people who looked either rich or noble came to Shanghe Village from time to time. She It can be considered as getting used to it.
"Sir, we don't know the specific principle. The proprietor said it's because of something called gravity. The reason why we always fall to the ground when we jump up and when ripe fruits fall to the ground is all because of gravity." 2 Ya couldn't help but speak with a sense of pride or confidence: "As for what gravity is, the proprietor said he will teach us slowly in the future."
There is a saying that poetry and calligraphy are in your heart, and this is even more true in this era. If a person learns knowledge, he will feel more amazing, even a country boy like Erya is no exception.
Du Ruhui didn't expect that there was such a person hiding in Shanghe Village. Not to mention other things, no one had ever thought about why people always fall to the ground when they jump, or why fruits fall when they are ripe.
I didn't expect that the owner of Shanghe Village could actually give an answer. Although I didn't know if his answer was correct, at least he was right about the phenomenon of two stones falling to the ground at the same time just now.
"I wonder what your proprietor's name is?"
"Our proprietor's surname is Tang, and his last name is Ping!" Erya pointed to Tang Ping's yard: "That's the proprietor's yard, but today the proprietor went into the city."
After speaking, he bowed to Du Ruhui: "Please help yourself, sir. We have to catch fish and shrimp to feed the chickens and ducks at home."
Then he shouted to Goudan: "Goudan, come to work, you have the most chickens and ducks!"
"Don't worry, Erya, my chickens and ducks are the fattest!"
"It's nonsense, my family is the one!"
"My family is the one!"
A group of children were aroused with the desire to win, and began to run to the river to catch fish.
Du Ruhui was even more puzzled when he saw this scene. He knew that other villages just muddle along about raising ducks. He didn't expect that in this magical Shanghe Village, these children would be so enthusiastic about raising chickens and ducks.
This matter was more important than studying why two measuring stones fell to the ground at the same time, so Du Ruhui had no choice but to shamelessly chase after him and ask, "I wonder why you don't just go and play by yourselves, instead of catching fish and shrimps to feed the chickens and ducks?"
You must know that it is not easy for them to catch fish and shrimp. They use stones and river mud to surround a section of the river, and then scoop out the water inside. When the water is low, fish and shrimps will appear.
Goudan looked at Du Ruhui curiously: "Half of the chickens and ducks will be handed over to the owner in half a year, and the rest are our own. Of course we have to keep them fat!"
This question seemed completely stupid to the kids in this village, but it unknowingly stirred up a storm in Du Ruhui's heart.
Subconsciously, he asked, "But wouldn't your boss suffer a loss by doing this?"
Several children looked at each other and burst into laughter, because today the proprietor's math class was about this.
So Erya could only use a tree stick to settle the account with Du Ruhui on the beach of the river.
Du Ruhui was shocked when he saw it. It was the first time for him to hear many words like time cost, labor cost, and expected return, even though he could understand them literally.
But a ten-year-old girl in the countryside could speak so eloquently that he couldn't help but wonder if he had read books in vain for decades, and he couldn't even think of such a simple truth.
The only pity is that Tang Ping is not in Shanghe Village today, so there is no chance to see him.
Du Ruhui could only take a car back to Chang'an City, and record what he saw and heard today in the shaking car.
Tang Ping of Shanghe Village, I am afraid that this person may not have the talent of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Young. It seems that I have to come here several times. Why should I invite such a person to come out and serve the Tang Dynasty?
