Chapter 191: Missed Opportunity

The sound of lively selling came from the morning market area, and the aroma of food wafted to the tips of the scholars' noses.

It was not unheard of them to have seen such a scene before, and there were many stalls selling food near their own academy, but they had never seen such a long street full of food stalls.

There is a tall archway erected at the entrance of the morning market, and the words "morning market" on it are written elegantly, so that people can know at a glance that this must be a masterpiece of calligraphy.

After admiring the words on the archway again, Tan Jun and his entourage walked towards the morning market. The people who came and went were dressed in plain but clean clothes, and they all had gentle smiles on their faces.

The children who followed them looked better in their clothes, but they also noticed that most of the children's clothes were identical.

This blue-on-white dress looks exquisitely cut, and there is a special pattern embroidered on the left chest.

The people wondered what was going on, but they were so hungry that they planned to wait until they had solved their appetites before asking about the children's clothes.

Most of the morning markets here are stalls set up by women's families, and the few are mainly men, who buy baked cakes and barbecued meat in the hanging oven that require some strength.

The rest of the soup noodles, wontons, soy milk, cakes, etc., are available, especially tofu products. The tofu was brought to Dawei by Su Hengyu, and she naturally knew better than others how to eat this thing.

Since the opening of the morning market, she has taught the people who want to set up stalls about the various ways to eat beans and tofu, and also helped them taste the taste.

In addition to these, there are also special fruits and vegetables sold here at the border gates, and Su Hengyu has built a greenhouse in a nearby village, as well as all kinds of seeds found from overseas and the Western Regions.

Su Hengyu dug up a lot of peasant disciples in the territory of Great Wei this year, allocated them a lot of money and land, and finally cultivated these foreign seeds, and now it is the time for these fruits to go on the market.

The first batch of the most delicious fruits was on the way to the capital in an expedited manner, but the capital was too far away from the border pass, so the group of students saw the fruits that Emperor Wei had not had time to taste.

The sweet smell of the fruit was generously placed outside, and even though the smell of food was all around, it could not hide the smell of the fruit.

As soon as the group of scholars entered the morning market, they dispersed and walked to the stalls they were most interested in.

Tan Jun rarely saw so many kinds of food, he looked at it, felt interested in everything, walked all the way, and finally his eyes fell on the bunches of grapes at the fruit stall.

There were still droplets of water on the round grapes, even though Tan Jun had never tasted this fruit, he subconsciously simulated the sweet taste in his mind.

The stall owner finally waited for a guest, so he naturally took the initiative to introduce him, and according to the solicitation method taught by Su Hengyu, he asked Tan Jun to taste a grape and try it.

After this mouthful, the sweet and slightly sour wonderful taste immediately filled his mouth.

In the end, Tan Jun forgot how he had completed the deal with the stall owner, and when he and his companions met, the money he had used to buy breakfast was replaced by the bunch of grapes he was holding in his arms.

The thing in Tan Jun's arms quickly attracted everyone's attention, and Lu Jin, who was the leader, said curiously: "Xiao Tan, what is in your arms, we have never seen it before." ”

Finding the curious gazes cast by everyone, Tan Jun took the initiative to introduce them to this fruit from the Western Regions.

He plucked a few grapes, divided them one by one, invited them to taste them together, and reminded them that the thin purple skin on the outside was not to be eaten, and that they had to be peeled off.

It's not that these scholars haven't eaten similar fruits, so they tried it briefly and quickly got started.

When the crystal flesh was peeled out, everyone unconsciously secreted saliva in their mouths.

After taking a bite of grapes, the scholars' eyes lit up, and after they asked Tan Jun where the fruit stall was, they rushed directly to the stall and bought all the rare fruits there.

In the end, the crowd returned to the inn with a large bag full of food and fruits.

The innkeeper was not much surprised when he saw this.

He also tasted the fresh fruits that the magistrate had cultivated, and the magistrate took the initiative to give it to him.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper secretly raised his chin, revealing a little smug.

But the young scholars, who had returned with a full load, did not notice it at all, and just happily put their things back in their rooms and then went to the rest of the city together.

The shopkeeper knew that these foreign students were specially attracted by Su Zhixian, and in order to leave a good impression on these people, it was best to let them write a few poems to praise Nanyicheng, so the shopkeeper talked to them very enthusiastically.

Knowing that they were going to go around the city later, the shopkeeper said, "I don't know if you have heard of our Chaowen Dao Academy in Nanyi City?" Our academy specially invited a great Confucian to be the head of the mountain, and the masters in the academy are also very knowledgeable. ”

He carefully told everyone about the location of the Chaowendao Academy, although he didn't say who the Great Confucian Mountain Chief was, but it was also very attractive to these students.

Lu Jin and the others all wanted to see what the academy in Nanyicheng was like, and it would be good if they could have some exchanges with the students here.

It's just that as soon as he and his companions decided on this matter, a voice came out and said the opposite: "It's still a big Confucian, don't laugh." It's just a academy in a small border town, and the entire Nanyi County is turned upside down, and it is estimated that there will be no five talents. In such a place, what great Confucian is willing to come and teach? ”

"Do you know how many great Confucians there are in the entire Great Wei, you can count them on one hand, and those who can be called great Confucians, at least they have to be like Mr. Yu Qiong and Mr. Wen He, but no old man who has studied in the countryside for a few years can be called a great Confucian."

Song Yun's voice was not low, and everyone in the inn could hear it clearly.

As soon as these words came out, the face of the shopkeeper who was still talking and laughing with the scholars instantly turned cold, his eyes swept over the scholars, and he didn't laugh with Tan Jun and them on the spot, and turned around to go to his room.

Lu Jin saw the other party's expression, and immediately knew that the other party must have been angered by Song Yun's words.

He hurriedly stepped forward to stop the person, and the rest of the scholars except Song Yun also understood that Song Yun had done something wrong, and they also followed Lu Jin to apologize to the shopkeeper, said good things, and reprimanded Song Yun unceremoniously.

The shopkeeper could see that Lu Jin and the others' apologies were serious, but he didn't miss the contempt in Song Yun's eyes.

He snorted softly in his heart and continued: "I naturally know that all the sons are gentle and polite, and our academy here is not famous, but it is also the hard work of the county magistrate. If you are interested, just take a look, if you are not interested, there are still places to play in Nanyi City, you can do it yourself. As for some people who harbor ill will towards our Nanyi City, they will not be unfamiliar with our academy. ”

The shopkeeper meant something, and Song Yun could also hear that the other party's words were deliberately said to herself.

He said very simply: "I am indeed not unfamiliar with your academy. ”

With that, he went straight back to the upstairs room, as if he didn't want to join in the fun with the others.

The shopkeeper was secretly happy when he saw this, what he wanted was for Song Yun to lose his temper and not go, so that when he knew what a precious opportunity he had lost because of his momentary anger, his heart would become more and more painful.
