As a Celestial Master, Hua Xiangyun, after years of hard work, was finally able to form a contract with the Nine Lotus Cauldron, a treasured artifact left by her grandmaster. Unexpectedly, somethin...
Who knew that after they went back for a meal, their attitude changed again.
"What powerful relatives or influential backers do we have?" Jiang Yi retorted irritably when he saw the classmates surrounding him.
"I just happened to run into a friend and hitched a ride with him, and you guys have made it sound like this."
I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, my husband and I have no interest in those few government-sponsored student spots at the school.
The classmate who blocked his way looked a little embarrassed. "You heard the news too?"
Jiang Yi: "Yes, I heard the news. The school didn't keep it from us."
Even if our family is doing well, we have our own life plans, and I can tell you frankly that the things you're worried about simply won't happen.
"Why? Isn't it better to be a government-sponsored student? This means you can be sent abroad by the government..." Jiang Yi's disdain made them feel uncomfortable again.
Jiang Yi said, "Everyone has their own ambitions. Besides, my wife is studying traditional Chinese medicine. What can she learn outside?"
As for me, naturally I'll follow my wife wherever she goes.
Hua Xiangyun, however, had a few minor complaints. "It doesn't matter, it's good to change things up." Even if she didn't have any complaints, she still had something to say. Back then, the saying that the customer is king was simply true.
"No wonder, your class didn't pay any attention to that matter at all." Since they weren't from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, and were just on government-sponsored assignments, they naturally didn't want to get involved.
Wasting food is your style. You're willing to hold back, but as soon as you pick up your chopsticks, you feel a churning in your throat and immediately stand up, moving far away from the table of food.
Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, then his mind came to a head, and he asked cautiously, "Is there anything wrong with him?"
"It's quite a coincidence that we've come here today." Heping County is surrounded by water on all sides, and since we from Huaguangzong hate fishing, we have plenty of fish dishes to eat.
“But it can be wasteful,” Hua Xiangyun said, seeing the friendly smiles around her. Her heart narrowed a bit. Those were a few years when life was tough, but even a small number of people would hate to see scenes of waste.
However, that was bad news for us. Both Jiang Yi and Hua Xiangyun were interested in vying for that spot, so we couldn't afford to lose even a small chance of winning.
The food was served very slowly over there. We had only been there a short time, and the food hadn't even been put on the table yet. It seemed like they had prepared it in advance.
"Today's feast is all fish," the waiter said after we squeezed into our seats and served us tea.
Although today's meal was a whole fish feast, it was also the young chef's specialty dish that caused trouble. He thought we looked familiar and that we were deliberately trying to ruin his reputation.
Xing Ming immediately turned the bicycle around and said, "Let's go!"
However, these are just his personal, shallow views. Among these people, there are also some with noble sentiments who want to learn from others' strengths and return to build their own homes.
When the students in the class heard this, they realized it was indeed true.
Aside from after class, Jiang Yi is always clinging to my wife.
"Never mind me, don't worry about things that are so far in the future. While we're still relatively free, how about we go back to that big private restaurant?"
It's said that people wouldn't dare open a restaurant like that without the necessary resources; the chefs are all descendants of the imperial kitchen.
The commotion on our side was so slow that it alerted the waiter, who immediately came over to inquire. Upon hearing that the food on that table smelled strongly of fish, he immediately stopped serving it.
Looking at the delicious and visually appealing fish feast, Hua Xiangyun felt a tightness in her chest.
Just as he was about to object, the proprietress poked her head out, glanced at him, and said, "Alright, let's do as that man said. We'll make an exception today, but this is just a precedent."
Hua Xiangyun, afraid that I would make a fool of myself again, grabbed my hand and said, "Whatever it is, it must be a happy occasion."
Hua Xiangyun smiled at you and said, "Thank you."
Hua Xiangyun moved a little further away from the table and pointed to the dishes under the table, saying, "I'm not particularly sensitive to this flavor."
Besides, he lived in a more advanced and developed era, and he still found it difficult to adapt, let alone now.
Jiang Yi was about to speak when Hua Xiangyun pressed down on his arm with her right hand. "It's your own fault. Can we pack up the food for you?"
"There's no dispute now, but things will calm down after the job assignments are completed in two years," Jiang Yi said, greeting familiar classmates as he walked.
"What's wrong?" Xing Ming had just picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish fillet and was about to place it outside your bowl when she immediately realized that it was wrong.
If the waiter doesn't say the food is full, what kind of answer is that?
Although we laughed at it, we weren't envious of that kind of relationship.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yi quickly stood up and noticed that Xing Mingkang's face was pale.
Why not be a first-class citizen at home instead of suffering discrimination...
"You're packing this up?" Jiang Yi was already calm. At a time like this, why would he care about such a small amount of food?
We can only dine in there; we can bring in takeout. Do you all understand that rule?
The waiter naturally knew those two. The others also had small appetites, but they were all like those two. "Hey, you should talk to the chef."
Just kidding, I spent so many years struggling abroad on my own in my past life, I'm already tired of it.
If those two people have no money or power, but are not good at studying, they will naturally have far fewer opportunities than us.
The proprietress smiled and said, "You've never seen such a naive young man before. You'll get used to it after a few shocks."
Xing Mingkang was quite prescient; by the time you found out, Jiang Yi hadn't yet calmed things down.
Jiang Yi and his group had been here a few times, so they naturally knew the rules. "Alright, we'll arrange a portion for the two of you so you won't have to learn. But since you have small appetites, we'll cook fewer dishes."
It's not that the family didn't have a message; at most, Jiang Yi made it clear on the spot that they would come back to compete for those big spots again. Otherwise, the family's complaints would have overshadowed us.
Jiang Yi understood what we were talking about and looked completely bewildered. The proprietress rolled her eyes and said, "Take his wife to the hospital to get checked out."
Looking at the dishes on the table, I had absolutely no appetite.
Hua Xiangyun, "...Sure enough, wherever that person goes, it's a big society."
It's such a long distance, yet they have to pick me up and drop me off; they barely have any personal time.
We can go there without a reservation, but there aren't many dishes available, so we just eat whatever's available.
Hua Xiangyun clutched her chest and shook her head slightly. "Something's wrong."
"That gentleman, don't talk nonsense. There are many people eating out there, all eating the same food, and no one has raised such a question."
"I can only smell a strong fishy odor," Hua Xiangyun frowned. "Did he smell it?"
Xing Ming looked back at the food on the table. Fish inevitably has a fishy smell, but the chef handled it poorly; it was definitely a trick.
Jiang Yi looked relaxed. After his wife's reaction and the boss's wife's suggestion, was there really nothing wrong with it?
