Chapter 165 Happy Egg
Chu Hong's earlier handful of candy was not in vain. Aunt Liu from the cafeteria explained the daily routine and meal times here in great detail.
So at eleven o'clock, Gu Ci and Chu Hong took their rice bowls to the cafeteria to get their meals.
Aunt Liu is also the team leader in the cafeteria, although she only manages two aunties, both of whom are family members of the staff here.
When they came, there were not many people around, so Aunt Liu greeted them warmly: "Xiao Gu, you guys are here? We have some delicious tonic dishes today, would you like some?"
The lady who was preparing to serve the food also asked with a smile: "Is this the young couple you mentioned? They are so handsome."
Another middle-aged woman also looked at Gu Ci and said, "The young man is indeed energetic."
Chu Hong's heart was filled with evil, so she put her hands on her hips and started cursing: I don't have any invisibility skills, do you have to ignore me like this?
Don’t you know that he is already taken?
Look, look again, and I will beat you up if you look again.
In reality, in order to keep their hands from shaking when serving rice and dishes, Chu Hong still called out with a smile: "Auntie, I want three taels of rice, and a portion of egg, leeks, and braised tofu."
It’s not that she couldn’t bear to eat the delicious food, but there were only two dishes and one soup here.
The soup was sauerkraut stewed with tofu and bamboo shoots, but Gu Ci had already filled a large lunch box with sauerkraut and tofu soup, so Chu Hong didn't plan to order any more.
Because she felt that the portions were big enough for two people.
The aunt on the other side was still promoting the eggs in the big basin: "These eggs are very nutritious. You are lucky to have caught up with them today."
Gu Ci smelled it and it was indeed fragrant. He asked curiously, "Auntie, this boiled egg smells good? Why is it called a happy egg?"
The aunt picked up the egg and peeled it in half, revealing the fluffy inside. "From what you said, I know you have never eaten eggs for a wedding."
"This is also called a hairy egg, a bad egg that cannot be hatched from chicken or duck eggs."
"But this is a good tonic. We put cinnamon and star anise in it and cooked it fragrantly. It's delicious."
Aunt Liu also agreed: "This is all meat."
When Gu Ci saw the egg in the aunt's hand, his face changed and the hairs on his body stood up. Not only did he not want to eat it, he almost couldn't control his legs and wanted to run away.
He forced a smile and refused: "Thank you, Auntie, I'm in good health, I don't need to take any supplements, it will be too much."
Anyway, I will never admit that I am afraid of this bad guy. He is healthy and does not need any supplements.
This was his last act of stubbornness.
Chu Hong had eaten wedding eggs before. She still remembered that when she was a child, she saw her adoptive mother carrying her on her back while eating the delicious eggs.
Chu Hong still clearly remembers that she was afraid of being sent back to the orphanage, so she came close to her and looked at her eagerly: Mom, I want to eat too.
At that time, she had no idea what the happy egg was.
If it smells good, it must be delicious.
As for the fact that this bad guy is a little ugly, it doesn’t matter. It’s better than being hungry and having nothing to eat before.
Then she will eat the egg.
There are also more than ten tables of different sizes in the cafeteria.
The two found a small table in the corner and started eating.
Chu Hong peeled the eggs and said to him, "If you are not used to it, why not change the table?"
The villain in Gu Ci's heart had already fallen to the ground and cried silently. Why did his wife like to eat such an ugly villain?
But he still tried to get used to it: "It's okay, I'll get used to it after watching it more. I'll do it for you again in the future."
You definitely can't ask her to stop eating it, so she can only get used to it herself.
Chu Hong looked at him with appreciation, discovering his strengths once again.
She once knew a couple in which the boyfriend hated the smell of stinky tofu, so his girlfriend had to stay outside and eat it before coming back.
What's even worse is that her boyfriend was disgusted by the stinky tofu smell on her body and asked her to sleep in the guest room.
This made the girlfriend so angry that she packed her bags and left immediately: Since you despise me so much, I don't want to live with you anymore.
Chu Hong had noticed before that Gu Ci was really resistant to this food, but she didn't expect that he was willing to try it.
Even if he said that to cheer her up, she appreciated it and couldn't help laughing: "There are only two, I don't even have enough for myself, don't even think about snatching them from me."
Gu Ci secretly breathed a sigh of relief and buried his head in eating.
You know what, even if you don’t look at it, it still smells delicious.
Before Chu Hong finished eating, a large group of people came in from outside, all rushing to get food and dishes. Someone cheered, "Are there wedding eggs today? I want two."
It’s not that we don’t want to buy more, but the rule is that each person can only buy two.
Of course, there are occasionally a few that I don’t like to eat or that I’m reluctant to eat.
But even so, those who come late won’t be able to buy the wedding eggs.
There was a chorus of wailing: "Auntie, can you stipulate that each person can only buy one from now on?"
Aunt Liu smiled and said the truth that hit people hard: "You are leaving tomorrow, so even if there is this rule, you can't buy it, right?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
The young man blushed and said, "Auntie, can you teach me how to do it? We can do it ourselves when we get back."
Aunt Liu didn't hide her secrets: "Just add more rice wine, cinnamon and star anise, it would be even better if there was fennel, and then add some soy sauce and cook it for a while longer."
"Cook slowly over low heat, and it will be delicious once the flavors are absorbed."
He also reminded them: "This is a bad egg after all, you must cook it for a while longer, otherwise you will get an upset stomach."
Chu Hong also kept it in mind and looked around, only to find that most of these people were gay men.
Anyway, she just saw three lesbians.
Then I thought about the three beds covered with bedding in the dormitory, and it made sense.
After dinner, Chu Hong simply went over to talk to the three young female comrades.
I also got some information from them.
In the afternoon, before classes started, Gu Ci and Chu Hong simply walked around the livestock station inside and out.
Finally they understood. No wonder this place is called the Agricultural Department Research Station. There are all kinds of fruit trees, chickens, ducks, cows and sheep in the back. It is really attractive.
They all wish they could stay here forever, or pack up everything and take it back home.
Chu Hong looked at the sow with a litter of piglets, her eyes sparkling: "This sow is so good at giving birth? Seven babies in one litter?"
After hearing this, Gu Ci felt something was not right, but he couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it and just looked at the orange and jujube trees: "There are too few fruits now. When we dug the reservoir, we dug a lot of mud and carried it to the gravel and hillside. Do you think we can plant some fruit trees there?"
Chu Hong gave him a look of praise: "You are really thoughtful. We really came to the right place this time. This is really a great place, isn't it?"
"But I don't know if they are willing to help us."
Gu Ci also smiled at her: "It's okay, we will apply when we get back, and we must come more often."
Chu Hong felt yesterday that this trip was too tiring and too dangerous, and she had made up her mind not to travel far in the future.
But at this moment she immediately nodded and agreed: "We should come more often."
