"Xiao Zhou Xiao Zhou, I don't want to eat rice!"
Qiao Meng saw that there was a new stall selling steamed buns next to the rice stall in the cafeteria, so she excitedly took one and said, "What are you eating? I want to eat this steamed bun. I haven't eaten spicy food for many days!"
God bless you, although Qiao Meng has stayed there for more than a month and feels very satisfied and contented about the peace and comfort in this small county of Ruxu, there is only one thing that makes her still not very satisfied.
That is in terms of diet.
As a strictly northerner, Qiao Meng has lived in Xiangcheng, a city in northern Anhui Province, for more than 20 years. The diet there is not much different from that in the south. He eats all kinds of food and the tastes are basically the same. Especially since people in Ruxu also like spicy food, Qiao Meng is more than happy to enjoy it and eats happily.
But there is a slight difference in the staple food. Although people in the north and south eat rice, noodles, steamed buns, etc., to be honest, rice is the main food in the south, with noodles as a supplement, while in the north, rice is relatively less, and people eat more noodles and steamed buns.
When she was in Luzhou before, Qiao Meng had the opportunity to eat some Gela noodles and steamed buns because it is the provincial capital, has a large flow of people, and is located in the central part of Anhui Province, which combines the cuisines of the north and the south. But Rushu, a small county on the Yangtze River, is not likely to have so many northern meals.
Especially since Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng work in the education industry, and are high school teachers who stay in school when they have nothing to do and never go out of the house. Qiao Meng is a lazy person and doesn't like to go shopping alone. So after coming to Ruxu for so long, Qiao Meng basically eats rice, and occasionally eats noodles or something, but she has never touched steamed buns again.
Now, suddenly seeing steamed buns for sale in the cafeteria, Qiao Meng was extremely surprised. She quickly asked the auntie in the cafeteria to get her a steamed bun, and then went to get the dishes.
"I don't eat this, you eat it." Zhou Yu, who had long been accustomed to rice and had a southern stomach, smiled and rejected the suggestion. After getting a portion of rice with Qiao Meng, he accompanied Qiao Meng to get the meal.
"How about this, I'll get one portion of braised fish, one portion of fried leek and dried tofu, and one portion of shredded potatoes with vinegar! Then you can get one portion of sweet and sour spare ribs, one portion of pressed duck, and two chicken wings. How about that?" Qiao Meng discussed with Zhou Yu beside her while looking at the dishes in the window.
"Why do you want me to buy pressed duck? I don't really feel like eating pressed duck right now." Zhou Yu subconsciously wanted to refuse. Although Ruxu pressed duck is a local specialty and tastes very good, he's gotten a little tired of eating pressed duck recently and he doesn't really want to eat it anymore.
"Then I want to eat~~" Qiao Meng said coquettishly.
"If you want to eat it, just beat it yourself!" Zhou Yu looked at Qiao Meng in confusion, "Why do you have to ask me to beat it?"
"Then I can't finish it by myself, and I want to eat more!" Qiao Meng said to Zhou Yu coquettishly, "Okay, little Zhou Zhou, just promise me~"
Seeing Qiao Meng like this, Zhou Yu suddenly got hard. He wished he could go back to the dormitory right now and give Qiao Meng a brutal hit!
"Okay, okay, let's fight, fight, fight!" Zhou Yu said helplessly.
“Hehe, okay!” Qiao Meng threw Zhou Yu a coquettish look, then took Zhou Yu’s plate, handed it to the aunt serving the food, and said to the aunt in a tender voice, “Auntie, help me serve this one! This one! And this one!”
The auntie who served the food was also an old acquaintance of Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng. When she saw Qiao Meng, a pretty girl, talking to her, she laughed so hard that she lost control and her hands holding the spoon to serve the food stopped shaking.
The aunt smiled and gave Qiao Meng one spoonful, one spoonful, and another spoonful. While serving the food to Qiao Meng, she asked cheerfully, "Teacher Qiao, is this enough? If not, I'll add a little more for you." As she said that, she gave Qiao Meng another spoonful.
Looking at the already full plate of food, Qiao Meng quickly stopped her aunt from adding more food to her plate. "That's enough, that's enough. Thank you, aunt. I can't finish all this!"
After hearing what Qiao Meng said, the aunt stopped what she was doing, but she still joked with Qiao Meng, "Hey, it doesn't matter if you can't finish it, don't you still have Teacher Zhou?"
After they had prepared their meal, they prepared to find a place to sit down and eat.
"You eat first, I'll go buy a drink."
After finding a seat and putting down his plate, Zhou Yu prepared to go to the supermarket nearby to buy a drink. Unexpectedly, when he had just walked a short distance away, he saw his student in front of the inner room.

...
At the innermost part of the cafeteria of No. 2 Middle School, Li Lei and Han Meimei, who had prepared their meals, were eating and chatting at the same time.
"Hey, I can't eat this anymore. Lilei, please help me solve it!" Han Meimei picked up a big chicken leg from the plate and put it into Li Lei's bowl. She also picked up a piece of red-braised pork from Li Lei's bowl. "In exchange, it's not too much for me to eat a piece of your red-braised pork, right? Don't be too touched, hehe~"
After saying that, Han Meimei raised her eyebrows at Li Lei, looking extremely proud.
"Classmate Hanmeimei, I want to tell you that this chicken leg is five yuan, and this braised pork is also five yuan. Although the prices are the same, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this exchange, but..."
Li Lei looked at Han Meimei across from him expressionlessly and said, "You seem to have forgotten that both meals were paid for with my card! You really don't want to take any loss at all!"
"It's just a treat for me!" Han Meimei smiled happily. She looked happy even when Li Lei scolded her. "It's a give and take. I'll treat you next time!"
"Look at how stingy you are. If you continue to be so stingy, I will report you to the class teacher! I'll say that you are not generous at all to your female classmates!" Han Meimei threatened Li Lei.
It was of course impossible to complain, although Han Meimei said so, but Li Lei seemed to be enjoying it very much. Obviously in the current environment, Zhou Yu, as their class teacher, had become an integral part of their pLAY.
But neither of them could have imagined that the head teacher they were talking about would run into them here.
Just as Li Lei was enjoying himself, he heard a familiar yet surprised voice coming from beside him.
"Complain? What are you going to complain to me about?"
