Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 146 Ginger Soup

Although there are usually not too many conflicts between the liberal arts and the military, they look down on each other. Now that they are suddenly confronting each other, there is an unexplainable smell of gunpowder in the air.

Although liberal arts students are not completely powerless and can deal with ordinary people without any problem, they are still a little weaker than martial arts students.

So although the liberal arts students came in with great momentum at the beginning, they soon lost the upper hand. Fortunately, it was now the end of the school day, and many students came out one after another.

Seeing this scene, and with the calls from classmates, one after another, more and more people joined in. The number of liberal arts students increased, and the opponents were not so clear-cut. It did not matter whether you were a liberal arts student or a military student. As long as you were within your shooting range and attack range, you were your opponent.

So a big chaos began, and the academy was really lively and bustling amid the flying snowflakes!

......

After the snowball fight, all the participants had their bodies, heads, and faces covered with snowflakes. Due to the intense exercise, drops of sweat appeared on their foreheads and brows. The snowflakes all over their bodies made them look lively despite their embarrassment.

Seeing the people around me in the same miserable state as me, somehow, the people who usually seemed very unpleasant to me didn't seem so annoying anymore.

In such a situation, everyone looked at each other and somehow started laughing, feeling quite relaxed.

The opponent is not as weak/strong as you think!

Seems pretty good.

......

"Hey, not to mention this activity, it's quite enjoyable!" A handsome scholar patted the snow on his chest and sighed. Although he was hit by a snowball just now, he also hit others a lot and did not suffer any loss. He will continue next time.

"It feels good. Did you throw a snowball at my face just now?"

"This... with so many people here, who knows who smashed it? Don't worry about these small problems. At worst, you can just smash it back next time, right?

We have to clean up the snow on our bodies quickly. I don’t want to drink those bitter medicines.” After saying this, the student patted the snow off his body and walked towards the dormitory.

When the others heard this, they didn't worry about who hit them or who they hit. After all the exercise, their underwear was wet. They should go back and change clothes quickly, otherwise catching a cold would be a real loss.

So after everyone made an agreement to continue playing next time they had a chance, they hurried back to their dormitories to change their underwear. In this kind of weather, not every student had the conditions to take a bath, and in the middle of winter it was not necessary to take a bath just because they sweated a little.

This is not the modern era, where there is always enough hot water and you can take a bath anytime you want. Even the emperor takes a bath once every three to five days, and officials have special holidays. It is okay for ordinary people in the summer, but taking a bath in the winter is absolutely a luxury.

Now, if they want to take a bath in the academy because they have sweated a little, I believe the dean and the teachers will simply let them roll a few more times in the snow and consider it a bath.

Of course, there is a place for bathing in the academy. After all, there are so many people in the summer, not to mention in winter, and they stay there for a month. If they are not allowed to take a bath, the smell will make people faint.

So the academy also has a bathhouse, but it is only open at fixed times in winter and requires payment. After all, the hot water is manually boiled, and people are needed to chop wood, fetch water, and make fire.

Taking a shower is convenient for the martial arts class, as hot water is generally available all the time. After all, people who practice martial arts are either sweating or on their way to sweat every day, and they will definitely stink if they don't take a shower, so the bathhouse here provides hot water almost every night.

Moreover, students in the military science class do not have to pay for bathing every time. They basically pay the bathing fee once a month, commonly known as "monthly package". After all, it would be too troublesome to pay every time.

Of course, this is the choice of most students. Another option is for students living in superior dormitories. They can choose to go to the bathhouse or take a bath in their own dormitories. After all, there is enough space for bathing. Money makes the world go round. As long as you have enough silver, it is very easy to get hot water.

But most of the students in the upper-class dormitories went to the bathhouse to take a bath, which was fast and the temperature was high. Since they were all men, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

The others are not as good as Shu Xiaoxiao. They must wash in the dormitory, but every time it makes her third brother Shu Tingfei worried, so he has to wait outside.

In order not to attract other people's attention, he sometimes deliberately bathed in the dormitory, which puzzled Su Shiche and Qian Jinbao, who lived with him. It was much more convenient to bathe in the bathhouse! Bathing in the dormitory was not only time-consuming but also troublesome.

Shu Xiaoxiao still said that she had mysophobia, and she fooled people for a long time, but her mouth was dry, and she finally fooled people into believing that she had mysophobia and didn't like to take a bath together.

Although they didn't understand how someone who even dared to study feces could have such a strange obsession with cleanliness, but adhering to the idea of ​​respecting even though we don't understand, everyone had become accustomed to Shu Xiaoxiao's behavior of taking a bath in the dormitory.

Except for guarding outside when his sister was taking a bath, Shu Tingfei would go back to the bathhouse to take a bath at other times. After all, it was really convenient.

Now, hearing someone say that she might catch a cold, and thinking of his sister who had always been frail and sickly and was recuperating at his grandfather's house, Shu Tingfei hurriedly pulled his sister back to change clothes.

As soon as I changed my clothes, someone brought me ginger soup outside the door.

The academy prepared this when it saw them fighting. For the students in the martial arts classes, exercising and sweating is a daily routine. But it is different for the students in the liberal arts classes. If so many people catch a cold, the academy will have a headache just thinking about it.

He quickly ordered someone to boil a large pot of ginger soup, which could be used to treat illnesses and to protect oneself.

It was originally prepared for the liberal arts class, but we all play together, and there is only a liberal arts class, no martial arts class. I always feel that I will be scolded, so I have both, so it’s just a matter of adding two more buckets of water.

Lu Leran looked at the bowl of ginger soup with a strong smell, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "With such a small amount of exercise, they are in a hurry to prepare ginger soup. How weak are the students in the liberal arts class!"

God knows, he hates this ginger soup the most, what a weird taste.

"Why not give this ginger soup to you weak scholars? If we had relied on this ginger soup, we would have been bedridden a long time ago, okay?"

"Drink it! If it weren't for those liberal arts students, we wouldn't have this treatment. It's a rare opportunity for us to take advantage of those students."

Jin Shaolan drank the ginger soup indifferently and said, just treat it as tea.

Lu Leran twitched his lips. This ginger soup was pure ginger soup, without any sugar. It was spicy and bitter. He didn't want to be touched by anything like this, okay?

"Brother, I really don't need ginger soup. This must be prepared by the academy for those scholars. Isn't it okay for me to exercise regularly? Why do I need to drink ginger soup?"

Shu Xiaoxiao felt like crying when she looked at the bowl of dark ginger soup. If she had known, she would not have asked the students from the liberal arts class to join. Who knew that the academy cherished the liberal arts class so much that they even specially boiled ginger soup for such a small amount of exercise?

"Brother knows that you are in good health, but since it is prepared, you should still drink a bowl to warm your body." Shu Tingfei advised his sister earnestly. His sister is a delicate girl, so it is better to drink a bowl of ginger soup in such weather!

I picked up my own bowl and drank it all in a few big gulps.

......

The moment Shu Tingfei swallowed the ginger soup, his expression changed immediately. What the hell is this taste? This crappy ginger soup is really ginger soup, but there is no sugar at all. How can you make ginger soup if you are so stingy!

Seeing his sister staring at him eagerly, Shu Tingfei immediately regained his composure.

He would rather not let his sister drink it, as he was worried. If she drank it, he would not like the taste.

Seeing her brother's embarrassed expression, Shu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to face death and said, "I thought about it. It's so cold, it would be good to drink some ginger soup to keep warm."

As she said this, she was about to take the ginger soup. Her brother was doing this for her own good, and she would not want to let him down.

Seeing his sister asking for ginger soup, Shu Tingfei immediately felt distressed. Thinking of the candied fruit prepared for his sister in the room, he quickly took out a few candied fruits and put them in the bowl. He stirred it with chopsticks and said, "Sister, try it. If it's spicy, add some candied fruit. Brother prepared a lot."

"That's enough. It looks sweet."

Shu Xiaoxiao took the ginger soup with a smile. With such a warm-hearted and loving brother, she could drink the ginger soup no matter how bitter or spicy it was.

However, the ginger soup with candied fruit was much sweeter. Shu Xiaoxiao drank the ginger soup obediently and ate all the candied fruit in the bowl.

While the brother and sister were having a great time, Su Shiche came over with his ginger soup and wanted to have a share.

"Brother Shu, you also prepared candied fruit! Give me some too."

Shu Tingfei immediately straightened his expression: "No, this is what I prepared for Xiaoxiao. Why are you, a grown man, eating candied fruit?"

"How can a grown man not eat candied fruit? I am a grown man and Ye Xiao is not a little girl! Why can she eat it but I can't?"

Shu Tingfei: ...

"But Ye Xiao is young and has been in poor health since childhood. As his elder brother, I must take better care of him. I am not your brother. If you want to eat candied fruit, go find your brother."

"I...my brother isn't around! Give me some candied fruit. I can return it to you next time."

I am not those rough warriors in the martial arts school. My body is not that strong. I am not at home either. If I catch a cold, I will be the one who suffers. I must drink ginger soup, but candied fruit would be even better.

"Are you still a brother? We have been sleeping together for such a long time, but you can't even bear to give me a piece of candied fruit?" Su Shiche said angrily.

Shu Tingfei was speechless. He prepared this candied fruit specially for his sister. It could satisfy her cravings when she was hungry or craving something. He was reluctant to give it to others.

"Brother, please give Brother Su a few. I have enough to eat." Shu Xiaoxiao said with a smile. Given Su Shiche's temper, he would pester her if she didn't give him the ones.

"That's right, give me a few. Xiaoxiao has already eaten them." Su Shiche nodded repeatedly and looked at Shu Tingfei expectantly.

Shu Tingfei......

"One for each person, no more."

He quickly put one in the bowls of Su Shiche and Qian Jinbao, and put the rest away immediately. His sister was used to having three meals a day, and he didn't have the ability to prepare lunch for her, so he just prepared some snacks, candied fruits, etc. Fortunately, the weather was cold, so he could keep the food for a longer time.

Qian Jinbao held the ginger soup with candied fruit in his hand and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Shu."

Su Shiche snorted: "Why are you thanking him? If it weren't for me, you definitely wouldn't be able to eat the candied fruit."

"Thank you, Brother Su. The candied fruit is very sweet." Qian Jinbao said good-temperedly.

Su Shiche: ...

Looking down at the ginger soup with only one candied fruit in it, he thought it was too stingy. He would prepare the candied fruit himself next time and make you cry with envy.
