During lunch time, Su Jin and Xia Silin met to have a meal in the dining hall. Food was provided in the dining hall with meal tickets. Su Jin originally planned to bring his own meals to eat, but when he thought about why it was so special, many high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen here wanted to come to this restaurant.
The food isn't too bad either.
The restaurant was packed with people, and everyone queued up with their plates and tickets to receive a meal. The order was in good order, but Su Jin could tell at a glance that there was a small side hall on the side of the Mao Ni restaurant. Su Jin walked back and forth and took a look.
I suddenly became angry. It turned out that the food on the two sides was completely different. With the same meal ticket, you could get one portion each of fish, meat, soup, and vegetables in the side hall, but you could only get one portion each in the lobby.
There was a plate of fried vegetables and pickles with slices of meat. The slices of meat were as thin as paper. When you picked it up and put it in front of your eyes, you could actually see it. Su Jin admired the chefs' knife skills. The soup was also a big bucket of egg soup with some green cabbage leaves and eggs floating in it.
There were several large wooden spoons placed on the flowers, and everyone was scooping them up, stirring the soup in the entire vat until it undulated like the water of three rivers.
When Su Jin was getting annoyed, Xia Silin came over with an empty plate and bowl and said with a sad face: "Brother Su, the person sharing the meal said that I can't get the meal here and have to go to the side hall over there."
Su Jin took Xia Silin's food ticket and compared it with his own, only to see that Xia Silin's food ticket had a small seal stamp of "Jia Yi" on the corner, while his own food ticket had nothing on it.
The tickets that came to see them were all the same as my own. They only had stamps and the school's seal on them and no small seal of the school.
Su Jin thought about it for a while and realized that this *** had to divide their meals into groups. It was thought that the students who came to Class A and Class B could enjoy Xiaozao's treatment, while the other students could only eat these shabby meals.
Su Jin thought for a while and said to Xia Silin: "The food here is not good, let's go there to eat better."
Xia Silin happily agreed to follow Su Jin through the round door to the side hall. Su Jin walked directly to the counter where the meals were received and silently handed over the food tickets.
The servant who distributed the food grabbed the ticket, glanced at it, and handed it back and said, "Young Master, you have come to the wrong place."
Su Jin pretended to be surprised when he refused to accept the meal ticket and said: "How can I say this? Isn't this a dining hall? Isn't this a place where academy students eat?"
The servant chuckled and said, "You really don't understand, or are you just pretending to be confused? The place where you are dining is in the lobby next door. This is not the place where you come."
Su Jin sneered and said, "I don't understand what you mean. It's a dining place and the college distributes food tickets. Why do I have to eat next door?"
The servant looked at Su Jin with disdain and said: "I can't tell you, you have to ask Mr. Cao to see if you are the next one to come here and make noise."
After saying that, he casually threw Su Jin's food ticket away, and the food ticket flickered to the ground. As the food ticket fell, Su Jin's heart immediately became angry.
"Pick it up." Su Jin shouted.
"What did you say? Have you lost your mind and gone crazy?" the servant said with his hands on his hips without fear.
"Are you swatting flies from your ears? I asked you to pick them up and let me take the food here." Su Jin said with a sneer on his lips.
"Bah Qiongcuo, you are so big, don't act wild here, but the academy is not a place for you to act wild. Move aside, don't disturb others' meals."
Su Jin's veins popped up on his neck and he shouted angrily: "One last question for you, do you want to pick it up?"
Su Jin's loud voice alerted the surrounding diners and other people in the restaurant, who all gathered to see what was going on.
Xia Silin stood behind Su Jin and listened to the whole story. He probably saw Su Jin and was about to run away. He hurriedly pulled the corner of his clothes and said, "Brother Su, please don't use my food ticket to get food. I have a lot anyway."
"
Su Jin said in one sentence: "I want to use my own meal ticket to receive the dining hall here. Yingtianfu Academy even divides meals into three, six, and nine grades. It's really disgusting. It's ridiculous that this place can't be called the holy land of the academy."
Already."
Seeing that Su Jin actually started to slander the academy, everyone in the audience opened their mouths in surprise. A deep voice came from behind the crowd and said: "Who can speak so loudly that even the dignified Yingtianfu Academy is not looked down upon."
Everyone turned around and looked back, only to see a tall young scholar with a sinister face separated from the crowd and approached Su Jin, followed by four or five arrogant students. Everyone recognized that this man was Zhang Ye, the president of the student maintenance association. Several people behind him also
They are all members of the maintenance committee.
Su Jin didn't know anyone who maintained the association. He had already forgotten that he had just made up his mind to work hard and get rid of distracting thoughts in the afternoon; at this moment, his mind was full of 'unfairness'. All the phenomena in the past two days since he entered Yingtian Academy made him sad.
He felt extremely angry. There were rumors that this place was like a fairy cave, but in fact it was full of filth.
First, there was a Mr. Cao who was arrogant and rude, and then he was divided into three, six, and nine grades in the assigned school. He also took advantage of the opportunity of the Xiuxian ceremony to make money wantonly. He even had to separate his identity when eating. After all, Su Jin was a person from later generations. All kinds of phenomena made him think
He felt strong disgust at this moment. He was so angry that he didn't want to stay in this academy any longer. Don't talk about being careful about propriety and tolerance.
"It doesn't matter who you love, I'll go back to Luzhou and be my little rich man. Let's join the chamber of commerce and build relationships with people. Pay some money and live a well-off life. It's better to live a comfortable life than to be so arrogant here." Su Jin rolled his eyes and thought.
"Are you talking nonsense here?" the president of the maintenance committee asked, lighting Su Jin with a folding fan.
Su Jin reached out and knocked his folding fan aside and said, "Don't point fingers and say that it was me who said what I said. Am I wrong in what I said?"
Su Jin's action caused the members of the maintenance committee to scold him repeatedly. Two people immediately rushed forward to grab Su Jin's collar. Su Jin stretched out his hand and snatched the soup spoon, then scooped up a spoonful of steaming broth and raised it.
Immediately, the hot soup splashed, and the two people quickly stepped back, but were a step too late. Several drops were splashed on their faces, and red spots suddenly appeared, as if they were suffering from leprosy.
"How dare you dare to attack a straight woman!" the president scolded, "Catch him and bring him down to Master Cao."
Several people made a noise together, but no one dared to come forward. It turned out that Su Jin took another spoonful of hot soup and poured it out.
At this time, more and more people were watching. Not only those dining in Schools A and B, students in the lobby next door also gathered around. Everyone asked each other, pointed, and talked endlessly.
"Hey, this person isn't Su who suffers from nocturnal wandering syndrome... Su what?" one person said.
"How can Su Jin be so capable of causing trouble even if he just has a meal?" another person said.
"Bah, you're standing up for me and you're saying such rude things. Go away and don't talk to me next time."
"Think carefully. I was wrong. It's just that I've been like this for two years since I came to the academy. Is this worth worrying about?"
"You are just a servant. Why are we eating second-rate food? Are the students from Class A, Class B and Class II nobler than us since they are officials?"
"It is true that the benevolent emperor of today has decreed that scholars should be selected regardless of high or low status, and even peddlers and lackeys should be treated equally in the imperial examinations. This approach of the academy is indeed inappropriate."
This person's words immediately resonated. A loud voice in the crowd shouted: "I also agree. What makes me even more uncomfortable is that the food in the lobby is simply unpalatable. I don't want to eat but I am so hungry that I feel dizzy." Su Jin listened.
It turned out to be Wu Hengxin's voice. I didn't expect that this fool would dare to speak out.
"Don't mention that the food has everything in it. My classmate Mr. Zhao actually ate a few squirming pieces of meat out of the pickles. Ya'er is really disgusting."
"What can I do if there aren't a few dead flies in my vegetable soup? It's because my family is so poor that I wouldn't want to stay here if I didn't covet his free food."
Everyone in the crowd criticized the unfairness of the food in the academy dining hall and the filthiness of the food. Everyone in the congregation saw that the situation was not good. The scholar president glanced and one of the members quickly got out of the crowd to fetch reinforcements.
Zhang Ye shouted: "What are you doing? Are you going to rebel? You are eating the free meals in the academy and you still think it's a bunch of spineless people. Don't eat it. A gentleman won't eat the food that comes to him, but you should be a gentleman?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately retorted: "We, the students, are eating from the Emperor's grace. Don't try to deceive us. We don't know that the expenses for meals and teachers in our academy are all allocated by the Ministry of Etiquette of the imperial court, not from someone in the academy."
."
Zhang Ye was speechless for a moment and his face turned red for a long time before he said: "Then the academy didn't deny you a meal. If you are making trouble like this, aren't you living up to the emperor's grace?"
"Bah! Does the Emperor's grace require us to eat live maggots and flies? If we eat it, we should all eat it together. Why is there a big fish and meat here but pickles and clear soup over there? Aren't we students from the same academy?" Su
Jin sneered and waved the hot soup in his hand.
The president was startled and quickly took two steps back and pointed at Su Jin's nose and said: "You naughty guy actually instigated the students to cause trouble. I think you are asking for trouble. I'll see how you respond when Mr. Cao comes. I'll leave it to you first."
Hairy."
As soon as Mr. Cao's name was mentioned, some poor students felt angry. Mr. Cao must be ruthless in making such a fuss. Thinking of all the hard work he had to do to get the position of Academy Secretary, what if he was expelled by Mr. Cao and his future would be ruined?
Most people keep their mouths shut and dare not speak.
Su Jin naturally understood what these people were thinking, but he didn't intend to let these people make trouble with him. It was obvious that these people had been unhappy for a long time, but they didn't have the courage to say it out. If there was any person with integrity among these people, it would never be his turn.
In the final analysis, Su Jin came to cause trouble because of his own tone.
"Nothing can be done without a single reason. People like me and other sages will never make trouble unreasonably. Even when Mr. Cao comes, I will say the same thing. If Mr. Cao can tell the truth about this matter that is common in the world, I, Su Jin, will be willing to be punished." Su Jin
He said loudly that since things have become a big deal today, if the trouble continues, the worst thing he can do is just go to work in this place.
At this moment, a shout came from outside the restaurant: "Professor Cao, please get out of the way."
The crowd stepped aside one after another and saw Cao Min with a livid complexion and several of his subordinates striding through the crowd and walking in.dd
