Chapter 1213 Extra 6 When I was a teenager
In August in Xindu, the scorching heat of midsummer has slowly faded away, and it has begun to feel cooler in the morning and evening.
Especially the small town of Luoan, which is twenty miles away from Xindu. It is nestled in mountains and forests and surrounded by green water, making it a bit more fresh and comfortable.
With the sound of a bell, the students who had been trapped behind their desks all morning seemed to wake up from their drowsiness and ran to the cafeteria yard like a swarm of swarms.
Today’s set menu includes braised pork. If you arrive late and can’t grab it, you will regret it for more than half a month.
But the first thing students do when they come in is not to pick up a dinner plate, but to grab a glass of fruit drink or milk tea with crushed ice, and then go looking for food.
Cold and sweet, one sip will cool your heart, and all anxiety and sleepiness will disappear.
This is the right way to completely whet your appetite when it comes to delicious food!
There are still large buckets of ice cubes placed around the canteen, giving off a wisp of coolness. It is much more comfortable than the classroom.
The students no longer looked elegant. They took off their long robes one after another and wore only their coats. They had a mouthful of rice, a mouthful of meat, and a mouthful of milk tea and fruit drink. They felt so uncomfortable.
At this time, they are extremely grateful to their senior brothers.
When the new emperor first came to the throne, the Li family withdrew from Xindu during the college's vacation, and the cafeteria of the College of Nature was left unattended.
The senior brothers hurried back to class and learned the bad news.
It has always been easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
There is no more delicious food in the cafeteria, no more milk tea and fruit drinks that I miss day and night.
Senior brothers have to go to the streets outside the college every day to find food, which is not only unpalatable, but also ridiculously expensive.
Just three days later, the senior brothers broke out and went to the dean to ask for help.
It’s not that everyone is greedy for food. You can only study when you are full!
In the end, the dean came forward to find Senior Brother Guo Wenhao, and Senior Brother Guo went to Xianke to find two cooks to cook the dishes. Seven or eight young men and women came out of the academy, and all other procedures continued as before.
This time the canteen was barely opened again, and the senior brothers finally had food to eat.
Later, Brother Guo reopened the water bar, selling fruit drinks and milk tea, and the taste was exactly the same as before.
No one asked where the recipes for making ice and milk tea come from...
In short, the college has returned to its original appearance, except that there are no particularly active figures on the court, and no matter who wins the game, there will be no jade melon as the jackpot...
Everyone was eating, and while eating, a student took out a travel journal from his pocket and read it proudly.
Soon, the classmates next to me noticed it and shouted loudly.
“Oh, is this the latest travel diary printed by Seventh Senior Brother?! Or is it the overseas version?”
One sentence caused the cafeteria to explode. All the students turned their heads and looked over, and started talking about it.
“Impossible, I asked someone to go to the bookstore yesterday to ask if the Seventh Senior Brother has published any new books at all?”
“Me too, I ask people to ask me every day! Where did this kid get it?”
“It’s a lie, it must be a lie!”
How can a student with a travel journal in his hand be willing to take the blame for a liar? Let's start arguing.
"I'm not lying! This is Brother Seventh's new book! My family came back from Quanzhou and brought it to me specially. I estimate it will take a few days for our bookstore in Xindu to sell it!"
Before he could finish his words, the book in his hand was snatched away with a swish!
“Let me see, let me see!”
“No, show me first!”
For a time, a book was scrambled by countless people and passed through countless hands.
In these years, although the court has no intention of pursuing the Li family, no one can tell whether the thoughts of the person in the palace may change at any time.
Therefore, in the academy, it is customary to call the seven brothers of the Li family from the first senior brother to the second senior brother to the seventh senior brother.
The first senior brother and the sixth senior brother are highly praised, naturally because of their superb literary talents.
The second senior brother is because his cooking skills are rare.
The third senior brother is the most powerful and has killed countless Japanese pirates.
The fourth and fifth senior brothers are even more legendary. They went on voyages at a young age and brought them back to eight countries for pilgrimage.
But the one they liked the most was the Seventh Senior Brother! It seems that every beautiful or strange and dangerous place in the world has the footprints of the Seventh Senior Brother.
He recorded these places in the most simple and interesting words!
As long as you read his travel notes, it feels like you have followed him all over the world.
At the time of the excitement, someone suddenly laughed at the door and said, "Seventh Young Master, your name is getting bigger and bigger! In the academy, you are more useful than a bad old man like me!"
The students heard the movement, turned around and quickly stood up, straightened their clothes, and saluted in unison.
“Hello, Dean!”
The person who spoke just now was Dean Zhou. The old man’s hair was also gray, but he was as elegant and upright as ever.
He smiled and waved his hands to the students, then pointed to the young master next to him and said, "What are you waiting for? This is the seventh master you are thinking about! The travel book you just grabbed was written by him!
“Now that I am in front of you, instead of reading a book, you might as well ask me for advice!”
The cafeteria was quiet for a moment, then became noisy again.
“Seventh Young Master, really Seventh Young Master?”
“Ah, it looks exactly like me!”
“Seventh Young Master, Seventh Young Master! Is there really an island overseas that is like spring all year round? Is there really a ghost island that can be hidden in the sea at any time?”
The students were all talking, asking questions directly and cheerfully.
The young man standing next to Dean Zhou was wearing a sapphire blue gown, his hair tied with a jade hairpin, and holding a jade bone fan in his hand. He looked very free and easy.
Needless to say, this is Brother Cat.
Seeing these junior fellow students, so young and energetic, made him feel like he had returned to his schooling days.
He put away his fan, greeted his fellow juniors, and then said with a smile, "Hello fellow juniors, I entered the academy about ten years earlier than you all. If you don't mind that I don't have any fame, just call me senior."
“It has only been four months since I returned from traveling overseas. I wrote this travel diary, published it in a rigid manner, and finally rushed here without stopping. I just guessed that the junior brothers may have many questions. Today, we can take this opportunity to have a good chat.
“In addition, I just told the dean that our fleet will return to Quanzhou in half a month. If you are interested, you can go on a study tour with us for two months.
“There are many sea ships in Quanzhou, and they can walk on the sea all year round. It is very easy for the juniors to go out to sea and see the outside world with their own eyes!”
“Senior brother, are you serious about what you said?!” Some students immediately shouted.
Fearing that they would be left behind, the others also shouted, "I want to sign up. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. I want to see with my own eyes the sea as majestic as the sky!"
“Me too, I want to see a sea fish bigger than a house!”
“What are the fishes in the sea? I want to see the golden Buddha where the Queen reigns!”
Brother Cat unfolded his fan coolly and joined in with a smile.
"I never tell lies in my travel notes. All the records are true. Let's just say that the whale is bigger than a house. Not only does it really exist, but some time ago, there were fishermen along the coast of Quanzhou who were accidentally swallowed by the whale. stomach, and finally vomited it out again, almost losing his life!
“Also, whales are just larger in size. In fact, there is a smarter fish in the sea called dolphins. They can guide fishing boats that are lost in the sea..."
In the spacious cafeteria, the students surrounded Mr. Cat, listening to him intoxicated. Occasionally, they would ask questions, which would cause a commotion...
Dean Zhou, who was forgotten by everyone, shook his head helplessly, really dumbfounded.
These silly boys, I don’t know how many of them will be “cheated” by the Li family this time!
The Li family has developed almost all the big islands along the way from Quanzhou to Jinfo. With more people and more things to do, naturally more manpower is needed.
This time, Brother Cat made an excuse to celebrate his birthday, but he was actually here to "cheat" people!
However, even if he knew it, he was not prepared to stop it.
As the students just said, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books!
There is no harm in young people going out for a walk more often!
As for how many of the Li family can be left behind, it is the Li family’s ability, and it may not be the way out for the students!
After all, not all students are suitable to take the scientific examination and become officials!
As a teacher, he hopes that all students can find their own bright path!
Dean Zhou turned around and walked out.
In the cafeteria, everyone has been immersed in the fantasy of that magnificent world overseas...
