Chapter 300: Itchy Heart

Ning Xiyue reminded the two excitedly hugged each other: "Let's go, get some food, there's not much left."

"Yes, eating is more important, my fish." Liu Yao let go of Wang Mengmeng without any reluctance and went to line up behind the row where Wang Jiandong was, stretching her neck to check the situation in front.

Wang Mengmeng, not wanting to be left behind, ran over and lined up behind her, muttering something about pork stewed with vermicelli.

It's really interesting. Ning Xiyue chuckled, greeted Chen Yechu, then walked over to line up and looked around for her second brother.

I don’t know if my second brother has finished his work. Why haven’t I seen him for a long time?

While Ning Xiyue stretched her neck to look for her second brother, Ning Qingyuan was also looking for someone with two prepared meals. After looking around, he finally saw Ning Xiyue who was standing in line at the window. After handing the meals to Yu Zhiyu, he ran towards Ning Xiyue and called out to her to stop when she was about to get the meals.

"Little sister, there's no need to fight. I've already prepared the food."

Ning Xiyue heard the familiar voice, turned around and saw her second brother. She took back the meal ticket she was about to hand over, apologized to the aunt who was serving food at the window, then left the line and walked towards Ning Qingyuan.

"Brother, you are done."

"Well, let's go and eat. Our food is waiting for us at Zhiyu's place."

Ning Qingyuan looked at the three people standing there with their meals waiting for Ning Xiyue and said, "There is an empty seat over there, you can sit there."

Wang Jiandong nodded: "Okay, please lead the way, Brother Qingyuan."

The four of them followed Ning Qingyuan to the place where the educated youths gathered.

Zhao Jianshe was also there. He had just finished cutting vegetables in the kitchen and since there was nothing else for him to do, he came out to eat.

Xia Zhipeng was self-aware and knew that Wang Mengmeng didn't like him, so he sat alone nearby and ate his meal.

The four people who did not work in the coal mine team but were committed to eating in this cafeteria sat down and picked up their chopsticks, eager to taste the food in their lunch boxes.

After taking the first bite, Ning Xiyue was amazed. The taste was better than the dishes cooked by the chefs in the state-owned restaurants in the county town. She couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

"Well, this fish with fermented black beans tastes good, and the fermented black beans are delicious too. It tastes like the cooking of a master chef in a state-owned restaurant, not like the taste that the aunties in the team can make."

It’s not that the dishes cooked by the aunts are bad, but they are reluctant to use oil, so the taste of the dishes is different. You can tell that the fish in fermented black beans is fried as soon as you eat it, and you can see the rapeseed oil in the plate with the naked eye.

From this we can judge that this was not done by the aunts.

Just for the taste, she would visit the cafeteria every day.

After eating the pork stewed with vermicelli, Wang Mengmeng said complacently: "My decision was indeed right. Such delicious food, I did not exchange the meal ticket incorrectly. The canteen is my second home from now on."

"The main chefs in the kitchen are indeed not the aunts. The aunts are only responsible for making noodles, steaming rice, boiling soup and doing other work. There is someone else who is responsible for cooking, and he is only responsible for cooking and does not do anything else."

Zhao Jianshe, who worked in the kitchen, knew some news and told them while they were eating.

"This chef is a member of the main team of the coal mine team. He is a formal employee, unlike us who are temporary workers hired later. I heard that he used to be a chef in a state-owned restaurant in the provincial capital. He has great skills and is good at many cuisines. He is amazing.

He was invited to work in the coal mine because there is an engineer in the coal mine team and his wife is him. So the food you eat tastes delicious, and it is all because of the chef's love for his wife. ”

Ning Xiyue swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "I see, this tastes really good. If the chef always cooks, I would also like to eat in the cafeteria every day."

"I'm willing to do that too. I'll go and exchange all my rations for meal tickets this afternoon. Ye Chu is the one who exchanges the tickets, and it's convenient to find her. Is it okay, cousin?" Liu Yao looked at Yu Zhiyu for his opinion.

The absent-minded Yu Zhiyu suddenly became interested when he heard the word "Ye Chu". He nodded hurriedly and took the initiative to stop the task.

"Okay, I'll come and help you change it this afternoon. I still have some rations. Bring them over to exchange."

Ning Xiyue was eating while thinking about her status as Zhiyu. This situation was not right. Could it be that her confession was unsuccessful?

Ning Xiyue was a little confused, but unfortunately Chen Yechu was still busy exchanging tickets, so she couldn't ask about the situation.

Ning Qingyuan was not concerned about the matter of being recognized and appreciated. He was also thinking about eating.

"Little sister, exchange the rations I brought with me for tickets. We will all eat in the cafeteria from now on, so we don't have to work hard on our own."

Ning Xiyue refused outright: "No, keep the rations. I'll cook for myself occasionally. I'll get tired of eating in the cafeteria all the time. Let's exchange them for money."

Food is scarce, but money is not scarce, so it is certainly more cost-effective to save food and exchange it for money.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, sister." Ning Qingyuan thought it made sense and nodded and continued eating.

The food was so delicious that everyone in the Youth League Home stopped chatting and focused on working.

Ning Xiyue noticed that while they were eating seriously, Yu Zhiyu was the only one who looked in the direction of the ticket exchange mentioned just now from time to time.

What it means is self-evident.

Love is this annoying little demon that makes people feel itchy.
