Moreover, they grew up in the countryside, worked every day, and had a good appetite. They also had a large appetite, and these two taels of noodles might not be enough for the two of them.
But even so, they were really embarrassed to eat Li Wenxiu's meal. Liang Rong aside, Li Wenxiu's family conditions were not good enough to treat her classmates to meat. Although beans were the majority of the stir-fried meat, there was still a lot of meat in the big plate. At the end of the meal, Tian Tian and Li Wenxiu simply took a few pieces of beans to show their appreciation.
Liang Rong was a generous person. Before the two of them could refuse, she quickly picked up a few pieces of fat that she thought were the best and put them into their bowls.
Although Tian Tian was touched by Liang Rong's generosity towards them, she froze when she saw the fat in the bowl. Please forgive her, she is a person who cannot eat fat.
But it was hard to refuse such a kind invitation. Liang Rong looked at me with an expression that said, "You don't have to thank me. Good things should be shared with good friends."
Tian Tian still couldn't bear to refuse Liang Rong, so she picked up the piece of fat, put it in her mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
After swallowing it, she smiled at Liang Rong and said, "This piece of meat is so delicious. This is the first time I've eaten such delicious meat."
Liang Rong really means well. Fatty meat is a good thing at this time. People tend to buy fatty parts of meat, and no one is interested in lean meat.
However, Tian Tian has been unable to eat fatty meat since she was a child. One reason is that she lived in an orphanage when she was a child in her previous life, and there was nothing delicious to eat. There was no oil in her stomach, so she would easily get diarrhea if she ate something greasy suddenly.
Secondly, the fatty meat she ate in her previous life was not tasty either. It smelled like pig manure, which made her feel sick.
But Liang Rong was too enthusiastic. When she heard Tian Tian say that, she immediately put a few more pieces of meat into Tiantian's bowl. Tian Tian quickly ran away with the bowl.
"You two eat first and don't worry about us. After we finish the noodles, if we are still not full, we can eat the vegetables you two bought. Otherwise, there will be leftover vegetables and noodles, which will be a waste." Tian Tian said.
She was reluctant to leave this big bowl of white noodles as she could only eat white noodles once a year.
"Right, right, right!" Tian Yun also hurriedly agreed, "You two don't have to worry about us while you eat. Let us finish our noodles first."
After hearing this, Li Wenxiu and Liang Rong lowered their heads and ate the rice in their bowls.
Tian Tian and Tian Yun also let out a breath and lowered their heads to eat noodles.
The noodles tasted very good too. Although they were clear soup noodles, the soup base had the aroma of lard and was not greasy. In addition, the flour tasted very good too, and the noodles were chewy and springy. The taste was better than all the noodles Tian Tian had eaten in her previous life.
Two taels of noodles was not a large portion, and Tian Tian finished them quickly and drank up the soup in the bowl.
After drinking the soup, Tian Tian was very full, but Li Wenxiu and Liang Rong still had a lot of food left. They really couldn't eat any more, so they looked to Tian Tian and Tian Yun for help.
"We two can't eat anymore." Tian Tian shook her head quickly.
"What should we do? There is still so much food left. It would be such a waste if we just throw it away." Liang Rong wailed.
Although her family was rich, they were not the kind of people who would waste food, and they couldn't just throw away most of the meat on the plate.
"If I had known earlier, my family would have ordered one dish from you, so that we wouldn't have half a dish left over each." Liang Rong said.
Li Wenxiu didn't say anything when she saw the small half plate of beans left. She ate more than Liang Rong and picked up a few more for Tian Tian and the others, so there wasn't much left.
"You guys wait here for a while, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative next door to see if I can borrow a lunch box." After Tian Tian said this, she prayed in her heart that there would be someone she knew at the supply and marketing cooperative. It would be even better if Tian Lijuan was there.
Tian Tian went to the supply and marketing cooperative next door. Now it was officially time for lunch break and everyone was drowsy sitting behind the counter.
Tian Tian went in and looked around, but didn't see Tian Lijuan. She was a little disappointed, but she saw another acquaintance.
"Auntie Xiao!" Tian Tian called out in a low voice.
Aunt Xiao, who was dozing off behind the counter, suddenly woke up from her sleep. She was a little surprised to see Tian Tian and said enthusiastically, "Tian Tian? Why are you here? Do you want to buy something? Tell me and I'll weigh it for you."
"No!" Tian Tian was a little embarrassed. "Aunt Xiao, do you have a lunch box? Can you give it to us? My classmates can't finish the dishes they ordered, and we don't have lunch boxes with us. Don't worry, after we return to the dormitory, I will empty the lunch box for you and then bring it to you."
"Hey! I thought it was a big deal!" Aunt Xiao didn't expect it was just such a small matter. She readily agreed and bent down to get the lunch box. "Wait here for a minute! I'll go wash the lunch box for you."
After saying that, Aunt Xiao took the lunch box to the faucet behind the supply and marketing cooperative to wash it, while Tian Tian happily waited for Aunt Xiao to come back.
Aunt Xiao moved quickly and came back with a lunch box not long after. In her hands were a few bright red tomatoes with water droplets on them.
"Here you go!" Aunt Xiao handed over the lunch box.
Tian Tian took the lunch box and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Xiao, I will definitely send the lunch box to you as soon as I'm done."
"It's okay. I have a lunch box at home. You can bring it to me whenever you are free. I'm not in a hurry." Xiao Yi said.
Tian Tian smiled. Although Aunt Xiao said so, she couldn't do that.
"Then Aunt Xiao, I'm leaving home first." After saying this, Tian Tian was about to say goodbye to Aunt Xiao with the lunch box.
"Wait a minute, I washed a few tomatoes for you, take them and eat with your classmates." Aunt Xiao stopped Tian Tian and handed the tomatoes to Tian Tian after wiping the water off her hands. "These tomatoes are grown in my own home and they taste really good. Try them and see if they are good."
This time, Tian Tian did not refuse Aunt Xiao. She took the tomato, said thank you, and ran away with the lunch box and the tomato.
Liang Rong and the others in the restaurant were waiting anxiously, and they began to think that if Tian Tian didn't bring back the lunch box, they would eat all the food even if they were full to death.
Just when they were about to take action, Tian Tian came back, and the three of them felt relieved.
They put all the food into the lunch boxes. There was a little bit of leftovers, so the lunch boxes could barely hold it all.
"These are tomatoes. Do you want to eat them?" Tian Tian asked as she took the tomatoes she had been holding in her arms and placed them in front of them.
"I don't want to eat!" Liang Rong and Li Wenxiu both shook their heads and refused.
