Chapter 136 My Roommate from an Extraordinary Family Background
Wei Laicheng was very fast, or perhaps Jiang Xixi had relatively little to pack.
All she needed to do was make a bed and hang a curtain; as for clothes and other things, Jiang Xixi hadn't brought them yet.
In just half an hour, he had finished packing everything.
It was already noon, and it was too late to report to Wei Laicheng next door. Just then, Liu Zhaohui invited the couple to lunch, and Jiang Xixi readily agreed.
She also wanted to try the Kyoto University cafeteria, which was later widely circulated online as a place known for its delicious food at reasonable prices.
Speaking of which, the national government has provided very good subsidies and benefits to the first batch of college students this year.
Putting aside other things, just considering meals in the cafeteria, in case some impoverished students can't afford to eat, the government provides a monthly meal subsidy of 18 yuan to each college student who is admitted to university, so that they can focus on their studies.
Of course, this money is directly deposited into the university's finance department and will not be distributed to each individual in cash.
The finance department will then print a batch of meal tickets according to the quota standards and distribute them to each student.
Jiang Xixi hadn't had time to collect her meal tickets yet, so she had to buy her food with cash, just like outside.
During this time, Liu Zhaohui wanted to give Jiang Xixi two meal tickets, but Jiang Xixi refused. These meal tickets were limited and were issued every three days. These two days were the reporting days, and she herself did not know when to pick them up. She didn't want to delay the girl's meal, as that would be a big offense.
"Waaah~ There are big chicken legs and braised pork, wow~ The food in our cafeteria is so good!" Little Liu Zhaohui said, shoveling food into her mouth, looking like she was about to cry from gratitude.
Who can argue with that? Although Liu Zhaohui is the daughter of the brigade leader, her family is considered relatively well-off in the village.
But meat dishes like chicken legs and braised pork are only seen a few times a year in the countryside.
Moreover, when cooking meat dishes at home, the main breadwinner is usually given priority. Although she is considered a favorite at home, she is not ignorant. Therefore, this is the first time in her eighteen years of life that she has eaten meat in such a large quantity.
Jiang Xixi was also shocked by the school's food. Although the taste was average, it was definitely a large amount of meat.
The food standards here are a bit too good, aren't they?
Wei Laicheng, who had gone to learn about the school's policies beforehand, answered the two's questions.
"Don't overthink it. How could we possibly have this kind of food every day? This is something the school specially arranged for the cafeteria to prepare for the first two days of school to welcome the new students."
However, I heard that our principal also holds a position in the Ministry of Finance. Having connections in high places makes things easier, so this kind of food might not be as common in the future, but it won't be too bad either. Don't worry.
...
Jiang Xixi had left Wei Laicheng's luggage and belongings in the dorm for convenience while eating. Now that she finished eating, she planned to go back to the dorm to take the luggage to Tsinghua University to register for Wei Laicheng's studies in the afternoon.
Back in the dorm, two more roommates arrived.
The two new roommates seemed to know each other.
As expected, Jiang Xixi's guess was correct.
"Hello, I am Chen Min and she is Chen Shu. We are cousins and we are both from Kyoto."
The two girls must have been very close; one had a left braid and the other a right braid, and their clothes were very similar, even the bundles on the bed had similar wrappings.
One has pink stripes, and the other has blue stripes.
The one who spoke, named Chen Min, had a visibly cheerful personality and was quite experienced in handling matters.
As for Chen Shu, she looks like a very shy little girl.
The two should be quite young, probably around the same age as Liu Zhaohui.
Moreover, judging from Jiang Xixi's perspective, these two girls come from extraordinary family backgrounds!
For example, the watches they were wearing, if she wasn't mistaken, were probably Rolexes!
And those two leather suitcases on the ground—those are specifically for foreign exchange transactions…
However, Jiang Xixi felt that this had little to do with her.
She also gave the two little girls the pork jerky she made, and the girls were quite obliging, opening it and starting to eat right away.
Chen Min took a bite before realizing what was happening, and said somewhat embarrassedly.
"We didn't eat much this morning and we're still a bit hungry. Your pork jerky is delicious, thank you. I'll treat you to something too."
After saying that, Chen Min took out several white-packaged items from her small bag on the table.
They were distributed to everyone in the dormitory in turn.
Jiang Xixi looked closely and realized it was chocolate, and from a well-known foreign brand at that.
It's important to know that even in the 21st century, with its highly advanced technology, this brand of chocolate is not something that ordinary people can afford.
"Hello, may I buy this pork jerky from you?"
Suddenly, a very gentle voice rang out. Jiang Xixi looked over and saw that it was Chen Shu, who looked very shy and hadn't spoken a word.
Jiang Xixi turned her gaze to Chen Min beside her. Sure enough, Chen Min also looked very surprised. Then, remembering something, she quickly spoke up.
"Sister Xixi, my sister is a bit shy. She doesn't care about anything except food. How about this, could you help us make some pork jerky? I'll provide the raw materials and then pay you for the processing."
Is this okay with you?
Chen Min knew that her request was somewhat presumptuous, but her sister Chen Shuzhen's situation was special.
It had been a long time since she had found anything that could interest her older sister. Thinking of what the doctor had said, Chen Min looked at Jiang Xixi with pleading eyes.
Jiang Xixi also noticed that Chen Shu seemed to have some issues; from a modern perspective, she appeared to have autism.
She doesn't actually like taking on troublesome things, but Jiang Xixi wants to take on this one.
Firstly, judging from Chen Min's attitude, they were determined to get the pork shop this time. Even if they didn't agree this time, their parents might come knocking on their door next time.
Secondly, she was the one who brought out the pork jerky, which caught the girl's attention, so this matter was somewhat related to her.
As for the last point, Jiang Xixi actually had a little selfish motive.
These two girls clearly come from well-off families, while I'm new to Kyoto and have little influence. I might need their help someday.
"Sure, I'm happy if you like the food I make. As for the processing fee, you don't need to pay for it, but you do need to give me the ingredients."
Jiang Xixi gave a wry smile at the opportune moment.
Upon hearing this, Chen Min became excited, and Chen Shu, who was standing next to her, also had a faint smile on her face.
"Thank you, thank you so much."
After this incident, the relationship between the three of them improved significantly.
After saying goodbye to her roommates, Jiang Xixi decided to leave; it was indeed getting late.
Just as Jiang Xixi was about to open the dormitory door with her hand on the doorknob, the door was pushed open from the outside.
"Who the hell are you? You scared me to death!"
