As everyone knew, Chang 'an was the most prosperous place in the Tang Dynasty. The moment the news of the basketball game spread, the entire Chang' an was like boiling water.
Everyone was talking about the basketball game.
The Langjun, who usually carried goods, was not carrying anything today. The vendors were also not shouting. Instead, they were sitting in groups of twos and threes, as if they were discussing something important.
"Have you heard that White Deer College is holding a basketball game?"
The one who spoke was Zhu Zi, a peddler who sold fermented glutinous rice. He usually went to the basketball court in Tonghui Fang to sell fermented glutinous rice. That was where the rich and powerful played. He would occasionally hear a few words, so he was the most well-informed.
"Is it true? This news has been spreading for a few years, but it hasn't been held yet. Could it be fake this time? "
A man who was selling white steamed buns put down his cart. His name was Hu Zi. Although his name sounded scary, he was very timid.
"Of course it's true. I go to Tonghui Fang often, so how could I not know about it? I heard that the news only spread this morning. If I'm lying to you, I'll treat you to fermented glutinous rice for a month. "
Zhu Zi pointed in the direction of Tonghui Fang and said solemnly.
Hu Zi naturally did not doubt Zhu Zi. Moreover, he said such words, treating him to fermented glutinous rice for a month. Just thinking about it made his heart ache.
But when he thought about it, once the basketball game was held, everyone would go to Xiao Mountain. Then, he would not be able to sell his white steamed buns. His heart ached.
"That's bad. Then, I won't be able to sell my white steamed buns."
Zhu Zi rolled his eyes at Hu Zi. "Why are you so stupid? Xiao Mountain is a mountain. There isn't much food on it. When the time comes, those rich and powerful people will go to the mountain. There won't be enough food to eat. You can take it to the mountain to buy. This time, I'll take fermented glutinous rice to the mountain and make a lot of money. "
After he finished speaking, Hu Zi felt as if he was enlightened and woke up from a dream.
"Yes, take the steamed buns to the mountain to sell. Why didn't I think of that?"
After he finished speaking, Hu Zi hurriedly carried the cart and ran home. He only left behind one sentence. "I'm going home to tell my wife."
Along the way, Huzi dropped a few steamed buns. However, he didn't care about them because he knew that this trip to Mount Xiao might be an opportunity for him to make a fortune. How could he care about those steamed buns?
"Woman, woman …"
Huzi shouted as he ran. He put the load at the door and rushed into the house.
He saw a woman with a white cloth hanging from her hand walk out of the house. "What's wrong? Hu Zi. "
"Hurry up and make white steamed buns. Make all the noodles in the house into steamed buns. If there isn't enough, go out and buy more."
Hu Zi hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the woman's hand as he said anxiously.
"What's wrong? What happened? "
"It's a joyous occasion. The chance to get rich is here. White Deer College is going to hold a basketball tournament. There's not much food there. If we make steamed buns and sell them, we'll be rich."
Hearing this, the woman immediately became excited.
"Really? Are we really going to be rich? "
Actually, she had only heard about basketball games and only knew that it was something for men to play.
However, if her husband said that he was going to be rich, then he was going to be rich.
She never doubted her husband's words.
"Yes, hurry up and make steamed buns."
With that, Huzi pulled the woman into the house and helped her make steamed buns.
The entire Chang 'an City began to talk about White Deer College's basketball tournament.
In an instant, everyone in the streets and alleys knew about it.
"I heard that the dean of White Deer College is going to hold a basketball tournament? Did you guys know? "
"This news started to spread this morning. Why did you only hear about it now?"
"This is an unprecedented grand occasion in Chang 'an. I heard that many officials from the imperial court are going to participate. They're even practicing basketball at home. It seems like they want to get first place."
"That goes without saying. If they get first place, they'll get a chance to study at the college for free. This is something that many people want but can't get. Not to mention those officials. Their descendants also need this opportunity."
"No, I have to go take a look."
"Forget it. Would White Deer College let a commoner like you in?"
"Then you're wrong. White Deer College's tournament is open to everyone. Anyone can enter."
"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier? My steamed buns will be sold somewhere."
"Yeah, I have to go back and prepare some food for those officials and nobles. When the time comes, I'll make a fortune."
"…"
Countless people were discussing on the streets of Chang 'an City.
At this moment, their hearts were filled with anticipation.
They were looking forward to climbing Xiao Mountain when the basketball tournament started. One had to know that the Emperor had chosen them.
As long as they climbed Xiao Mountain, they would have the imperial aura.
Therefore, at this moment, everyone was hoping that this moment would come sooner.
At the same time, there were many peddlers who saw this opportunity and wanted to sell their goods on Pyrolyte Mountain to make a profit.
They had no choice. They were commoners and couldn't participate in the tournament. They could only use this opportunity to take a look at Xiao Mountain.
Fortunately, Xiao Mountain didn't restrict commoners from entering.
