Lunch was pretty good; the chef's skills were excellent, and the braised pork tasted delicious.
There was also some sugar in it, so it tasted sweet.
Gu Yunyang had eaten a lot of braised pork in some parts of the south.
The way braised pork is made in those places is different; it doesn't contain sugar.
Compared to those flavors, Gu Yunyang still prefers the sweeter braised pork.
Gu Yunyang finished his meal, a large box of rice, in just five minutes.
From a nutritional perspective, it's best to chew your food thoroughly.
This makes it easier to digest and less likely to cause weight gain.
However, Gu Yunyang had already adapted to the current pace; he didn't swallow it whole, but he also didn't chew it much.
Fortunately, he didn't have the problem of gaining weight.
Having wood-based superpowers, he also has considerable experience in controlling his body.
Not only will there be no risk of obesity, but strength and physique can also be maintained at a good level.
After finishing their meal, they went to the tap together to wash their lunchboxes.
After putting the lunchboxes away, Captain Liu led them to collect their meal tickets and vegetable tickets.
Outside, you usually need to use grain coupons, but in a typical workplace, you hand over your grain in exchange for the workplace's meal coupons and vegetable coupons.
It can be used at work, and usually there are no time restrictions.
"Let me take you to the dormitory. You can rest for a bit first. We can talk again this afternoon."
The dormitory is right behind the bureau; just turn the corner and you'll get there.
"Normally, this room is for single colleagues. The other rooms are reserved for colleagues who don't have time to go back when they have assignments. I've prepared one room for you two, with two bunk beds. Is that alright?"
Gu Yunyang had no problem with it; he usually had very high requirements for his living environment.
But when there's no other way, even if it's not quite right, it's still acceptable.
There's even less of a problem with the prison.
When he was in the army, he started as a private and initially lived in a dormitory with more than 20 people.
Later, as he was promoted, he didn't always have a single room to live in.
Gu Yunyang was not a troublesome person. He didn't snore when he slept. He and the prison guard shared a bunk bed on the train, and there were no problems.
"It's alright, this is already very good."
"Okay, then you can tidy up here. Everything inside has been cleaned, so find your own beds."
After saying this, Captain Liu took his leave: "I'll head back now. When you get up, come find me at the front and I'll arrange your work."
"Okay, Captain Liu, take care."
Xing Kai and Gu Yunyang saw Captain Liu off. Looking at the somewhat empty room, Xing Kai smiled and said, "You can choose a bed first."
"I'm fine with either, since the upper and lower bunks are useless anyway. Let's all choose the lower bunks. We can just put some things on the upper bunk."
In Beijing, the dormitories don't have kang beds; everyone sleeps on beds.
However, some families have a kang (heated brick bed) where the whole family lives on a long kang.
Gu Yunyang casually chose the bed closest to the door, leaving the bed inside for Xing Kai.
Xing Kai smiled, knowing that this was Gu Yunyang's good intention.
The beds closer to the door are noisier, while the ones inside are quieter.
As people get older, their sleep becomes less efficient.
Gu Yunyang probably realized this as well, which is why he made this arrangement on purpose.
"Alright, this old man will stay here. Thank you for your kindness."
Gu Yunyang wasn't too picky about the location. Even if it was a bunk bed with only a hard bed board, Gu Yunyang only felt that it was a bit hard, but it didn't affect his sleep.
Taking a nap at noon can help you regain your energy, maintain a good mental state, and better engage in your work.
After resting for a short while, Gu Yunyang woke up on his own.
He got up, probably making a little noise.
Xing Kai over there also opened his eyes.
