College students of all ages are full of curiosity about unknown things, just like the silly roe deer in Northeast China.
Lin Sanqi originally planned to peel a pomelo for the college students to taste, but in the end he had to contribute both pomeloes in his hand before he could get away.
Pan Ye took the pomelo peel and smelled it, then exclaimed in surprise:
"Lin Sanqi, what kind of fruit is this? It smells so fresh and fragrant, much better than an orange."
"This is called pomelo. I brought it back from Guangqi. From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pomelo peel tastes bitter and sweet, and is warm in nature. It has the effects of resolving phlegm, relieving coughs, regulating qi, and relieving pain. It can be used as medicine after being dried."
Lin Sanqi then threw the pomelo peel into the trash can, which made Pan Ye feel a little disappointed.
Girls all like fruits, especially fruits that they have never tasted before. Now all the flesh has been snatched away by her classmates, and she has nothing to eat.
But girls are all reserved, so Pan Ye couldn't say it out loud. Instead, she smiled and said:
"Come on, I'll treat you to a meal."
Lin Sanqi chuckled and said, "You go and queue up for food. I'll get something from the car."
Ten minutes later, when Pan Ye came over with four steamed buns and a bowl of cabbage and pork slices, Lin Sanqi was already sitting at the cafeteria table:
“Here, here!”
Pan Ye sat down and saw several aluminum lunch boxes on the table, as well as two large grapefruits and tangerines. He was delighted:
"Oh, you still have these grapefruits and oranges, but I'm sorry, I can only treat you to cabbage and pork slices, and these steamed buns."
Lin Sanqi took a closer look and found that the steamed buns were made of corn flour, which made his throat hurt after eating them.
It's about cabbage and pork slices, but in fact there is not even a drop of oil in the soup. A few thin slices of meat are mixed in the dish, as if they can be blown up by breath. The knife skills must be learned from the Lanzhou ramen chef.
The meal we invited was really tasteless, unappealing and unappealing.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the knife-cutting master in your cafeteria must be from Qinghai. Look at how the meat slices are cut, as thin as a cicada's wing. His knife skills are amazing."
Pan Ye burst out laughing:
"It's good to have some sliced meat. We can only eat it once a month at school. Look, the old professors are queuing over there. That's our vice president..."
Lin Sanqi thought so too. Being able to eat steamed buns every day for 59 years and taste meat once a month is like heaven.
He had come back from Guangqi before. When the train passed through southern Henan Province, no passengers were allowed to get on or off in cities other than the provincial capital. There were militias guarding all along the railway. They must be catching hidden opponents!
Putting these thoughts aside, Lin Sanqi decided to cherish the present moment, so he joked:
"In the new society, men and women are equal. So, you treat me to a meal, and I treat you to meat. Just wait and see."
Pan Ye's eyes widened as he saw Lin Sanqi place the aluminum lunch boxes one by one in the middle of the dining table, and then open them one by one.
The first lunch box contained braised pork with preserved vegetables.
The second lunch box contained a braised meat platter.
The third lunch box contains braised pork.
The fourth lunch box is the Buddha Road Wall.
These meats were all picked by Lin Sanqi when he ate at various restaurants. He found them delicious and asked the restaurants to cook a few extra portions for him to take away. They are absolutely authentic.
The dishes cooked by those top-notch chefs are truly delicious, with perfect color, aroma and taste. As soon as you open the lunch box, the aroma of meat quickly spreads around.
Originally, all the teachers and students in the school were chattering excitedly because they could eat meat slices today.
As soon as Lin Sanqi opened the lunch box, the cafeteria quickly became quiet, and everyone looked at Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye as if they had seen a ghost.
Even the sound of Pan Ye swallowing his saliva could be heard clearly.
A male classmate nudged the student in front of him and asked:
"Hey classmate, am I hallucinating because I'm hungry lately? I seem to smell the aroma of braised pork."
Another classmate nodded and said, "I think I'm hallucinating too. What I smell is the aroma of braised pork belly. Oh my god, my mouth is watering."
At this moment, a male student in the crowd suddenly collapsed and cursed loudly:
"Who is so wicked? Who is eating meat? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Crash, this curse seemed to turn on a switch, quickly resonating with everyone, and everyone started cursing in anger.
Even the cafeteria staff were curious, wondering where the aroma of meat came from.
Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye were both shocked. The couple had been planning to have a hearty meal together, but suddenly they angered everyone.
So the two of them hurriedly prepared to cover the lunch box, but it was too late. An old man wearing glasses came over:
When Pan Ye saw the person coming, he immediately stood up with a red face:
"Professor Wang, we...we...didn't do anything."
Professor Wang sniffed the fragrance in the air, then squinted his eyes and shook his head and said:
"Preserved pork with preserved vegetables, braised pork in red sauce, and stewed pork. Hmm, these three are correct, but there's one that smells even better. Mr. Pan, what is it?"
Pan Ye didn't know what it was, and she had never seen such a hodgepodge of dishes before, so she looked at Lin Sanqi for help.
Lin Sanqi was also theoretically a student at Capital Medical College, and Pan Ye's teacher was his teacher, so he stood up and answered:
"Teacher, there's another one called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which is a Min cuisine dish and not very popular in the north."
Professor Wang opened his eyes and said, "Oh, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall! I ate it when I was young. It tasted so delicious. I still remember it..."
Lin Sanqi blinked and prepared to be polite:
"Professor Wang, let me introduce myself. I'm Pan Ye's friend, Lin Sanqi. I work at the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I happened to be on a business trip to our school today and wanted to visit Pan Ye. Hehe. How about you sit down and have something to eat?"
Lin Sanqi had to reveal his identity; he didn't want to be looked at like an enemy spy.
Lin Sanqi was just being polite, thinking that Professor Wang would refuse, and then she could go on a pleasant date with Pan Ye.
Professor Wang just nodded slightly.
"Well, since Comrade Lin has invited me so graciously, it's hard for me, an old man, to refuse. So, Mr. Pan, stop standing there like an idiot and go get me a pair of chopsticks from the cafeteria."
"ah!?"
Pan Ye was still a little stunned, but Lin Sanqi winked at her, signaling her to quickly hand over her chopsticks.
Respecting teachers and valuing education is ingrained in every Chinese person's DNA. Not only would they not be able to eat meat from the old professor, they would have to endure even a few scoldings.
Professor Wang picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly without speaking for a long time.
Pan Ye, Lin Sanqi and many college students in the cafeteria were watching, each of them brimming with jealousy, but no one was willing to look away.
If you can't eat it, it's okay to look at it. Seeing the meat can satisfy your hunger.
Professor Wang then shook his head and commented:
"Good meat, good meat. Although it's a little cold, it's still fatty but not greasy, and the broth is tasty. This is the specialty of the Huaiyang Mansion Restaurant in Andingmen. It tastes exactly the same. I haven't had it in years."
Just from one comment, Lin Sanqi already knew that this old professor seemed to be a gourmet.
Because he bought this braised pork from Huaiyang Prefecture, and there was more than one portion, there were more than 20 portions in the passage space, and he bought it after several attempts.
"Professor Wang, could you please try this dish of braised meat and tell me what's so special about it?"
Old man Wang picked up a piece of braised goose meat and put it in his mouth, savoring it slowly:
"This braised pork is braised in the southern style, using a five-spice red brine. It's not that salty. That should be Chaoshan cuisine. We in the old city prefer the sauce-based brine, which tastes completely different."
Lin Sanqi gave a thumbs up: "Professor Wang, you shouldn't be working in a medical school. You should be a food critic."
Professor Wang laughed heartily. "Yeah, I think so too. What a shame! We're lucky to have enough to eat these days. Why would we be such a gourmet?"
“Who wants to be a gourmet?”
The crowd parted, and Principal Jin and Dean Shen walked in with empty lunch plates. Then they saw an old man sitting with two young people, surrounded by a group of people.
Dean Shen knew what was going on at a glance, and thought that this guy was really willing to spend money to pursue a female comrade, with a table full of meat and vegetables.
I just happened to be hungry, so what else to say, just sit down and eat.
"Wow, there's so much meat, Lao Jin, come sit down, we're in for a treat today."
Principal Jin blushed:
"Hey, you old boy! Classmate Lin Sanqi finally managed to get some meat, why are we joining in the fun? Come on, come on, our cafeteria has cabbage and pork slices today."
Principal Jin still has some shame. He knows how difficult it is to get some meat nowadays. How can he have the nerve to take advantage of young people?
Dean Shen laughed out loud:
"You, eat without worry. I know my employees. How can this kid be poor?"
Lin Sanqi thought that this was indeed the Dean's family, so he sold himself out decisively. However, since it had come to this, he could only do a favor.
"Principal Jin, Dean Shen, you guys take a seat too. Pan Ye and I are not hungry. How about you all try my cooking?"
Pan Ye stood aside with a red face, thinking to herself, if you are not hungry, then I am. It's all meat. She hasn't eaten meat for several months.
But he still had a smile on his face: "Principal Jin, Dean Shen, I'll get you some chopsticks~~~"
When the students saw the principal coming, they immediately dispersed. Lin Sanqi could do nothing to help.
He can still handle two or three people, but if he really invites all the teachers and students in the school to eat meat, believe it or not, he will be called to have a chat with the relevant departments tomorrow, and then he will be dead.
Pan Ye finally got to eat meat, but it was in Lin Sanqi's jeep.
"Lin Sanqi, where did you get so much meat? How many meat tickets do you need? Didn't I tell you to save money..."
Lin Sanqi peeled the pomelo and said indifferently:
"Don't worry, we buyers can make extra money. Look at this grapefruit. It sells for 5 cents in the south, but I bring it to Beijing and sell it for 50 cents. I make the profit from the difference, and the company doesn't care."
Pan Ye was not very worldly-wise after all, and when he thought about it, it was normal for buyers to travel all over the country and bring back some local specialties from other places. What's more, the two of them had known each other in the black market.
So I continued to eat the braised pork happily... (End of this chapter)
