Chapter 196 Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Visiting Zhang Chunyan
"In addition to these, there is also this one, one for each of you." Zhang Wanwan took out the ultimate gift and put it in a foam box.
Everyone looked over and asked in unison, "What?"
"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!" Zhang Wanwan said loudly.
"Hiss!" The five people gasped and looked at Zhang Wanwan in disbelief.
"Wanwan, how did you get these things here?" Yu Yunfei asked in disbelief.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Wanwan violently opened the foam box and panted, "There are six packages in a box. Each of you can get one package. The ingredients are all ready. Just boil the water and cut it open and put it in. But the shelf life is limited. If you want to mail it, you have to hurry. Also, it's best to put some ice cubes in it."
After listening to Zhang Wanwan's first half of the speech, everyone was ready to act. After hearing her last sentence, Kong Rou rolled her eyes and said, "It's easy to get ice! Just grab a few handfuls of the snow outside."
Everyone nodded.
Wu Ruoling held the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in both hands as if she was holding a hot potato and asked, "Wan Wan, a pack of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is not cheap, right?"
Although her family background was not good, she knew a little bit because she came from the south.
Hu Qinshu nodded in agreement and said, "It's definitely not cheap. A serving of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in a restaurant here in Beijing costs hundreds or even thousands of dollars."
Seeing their frightened expressions, Zhang Wanwan quickly explained, "That's the price of the restaurant in Beijing. It's not that expensive over here. Let's put it this way. If you go to our provincial capital to eat the most authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, it only costs a few hundred yuan, and the ingredients are the freshest. Our county is located on the coast and is rich in all kinds of seafood. The restaurants that make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in the city take on outsourcing work. Customers provide the raw materials and they process them for a certain processing fee."
These Buddha Jumps Over the Wall were made by someone my parents asked. The raw materials were purchased by relatives in the villages around my hometown. They are guaranteed to be cheap and fresh. They were processed before I left, so they are just the right size to eat now.
My parents went there once and praised the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall there. They insisted that I bring some over. My brother and I each got half. I divided two boxes here, one for each of you. I plan to give the rest to the senior sisters in the store. If I give it to one or two more people, it will be almost gone. "
After hearing what Zhang Wanwan said, everyone felt a lot more relaxed. They happily divided up the things, and all the women in the dormitory went out together - to send a parcel!
Zhang Wanwan called Wu Chunxiang and the others, asked them to meet in the cafeteria, and then left after handing them the things.
Seeing that it was still early, she went back to the dormitory, took a bag of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and some dried seafood, and drove away in a hurry.
When she arrived at Zhang Chunyan's house, there were some guests there. They seemed to be Zhang Chunyan's students. They probably came to visit just after the school started, just like her.
A group of people were gathered in the living room listening to Zhang Chunyan talking, but they stopped because of Zhang Wanwan's sudden arrival.
Zhang Wanwan quickly handed the things to Zhang Chunyan's lover and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. "Professor, am I here at the wrong time?"
Zhang Chunyan laughed and said, "It's rare that a little girl like you would think of coming to my place. Come and sit down. We are just chatting. Also, come here if you want. What else did you bring?"
"These are some specialties prepared by my mother. You know, we are close to the sea, so we have the most seafood." Zhang Wanwan said mischievously.
Zhang Chunyan led him to sit next to him.
Originally, Zhang Chunyan was sitting on the longest sofa. Others did not dare to sit next to him out of respect for him, but sat on ordinary plastic chairs. When Zhang Wanwan arrived, she sat next to Zhang Chunyan. The way those people looked at her was different, with inquiry, speculation, and of course jealousy.
Zhang Wanwan has become accustomed to those gazes. She sits very steadily and is not as reserved as those people.
Zhang Chunyan's wife came over with hot tea and said with a loving smile, "Professor Zhang and I can probably eat a cuttlefish that big for a whole year!"
"It's okay. The teacher makes soup every now and then, and we can finish it in less than two months." Zhang Wanwan replied with a smile and helped Zhang Chunyan's lover to set the tea.
Zhang Chunyan watched with a smile on his face. He had to admit that none of his students could compare to Zhang Wanwan in terms of how to deal with people. Although they respected him, he was still not good at dealing with people.
Those who had been keeping an eye on Zhang Wanwan seemed to understand something and felt a little embarrassed. They wanted to do something to make up for it but found that there was nothing they could help with.
After Zhang Chunyan's lover left, Zhang Chunyan introduced her to the others, "This is your junior sister. She is only a freshman. I plan to train her to join the research institute. She will often go to the institute to help out. You should get along well with each other. Wanwan, these are your seniors. They are now working on a project with me. They are all graduate students. You can ask them if you have any questions."
Zhang Wanwan nodded obediently and greeted others.
The leading boy said kindly, "If you have any questions in the future, feel free to go to the research institute. Unless there are special circumstances, we usually stay there."
"Yeah, junior, maybe we need your help in some small matters!" another boy joked.
Zhang Wanwan knew that these people treated her differently because of Zhang Chunyan, so she was always humble and polite, and didn't say much, just nodding at most.
The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries and Zhang Chunyan continued the previous topic, which revolved around their research topics. Since Zhang Chunyan did not avoid Zhang Wanwan, she listened carefully at the side. Since she did not bring a notebook, she could only ask Zhang Chunyan's consent to use her mobile phone to record his conversation.
In Zhang Chunyan's view, this was no different from attending class. He was naturally happy that Zhang Wanwan was willing to listen to the class seriously. Some others also followed Zhang Wanwan's example and used their mobile phones to record the class, while others continued to write down the lessons.
She stayed at Zhang Chunyan's place for the entire afternoon. Seeing that it was getting late, she would have to stay for dinner if she stayed any longer, so Zhang Wanwan quickly said goodbye.
The others also stood up and left.
After they went out, those people realized that Zhang Wanwan had actually driven here by herself. The way they looked at her was different. Nowadays, not many freshmen can drive out, unless their families are in Beijing and their conditions are relatively good.
Seeing that the weather outside was not very good, Zhang Wanwan invited them to get in the car.
Perhaps because they got a ride with Zhang Wanwan, those people who had ignored her before now had to say some polite words to her.
The two sides got along quite well. When they arrived at school, Zhang Wanwan dropped them off at the canteen entrance and drove away. There were two servings of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall left. She planned to give one to Tian Sen and keep the last one for them. They cooked their own meal in the dormitory. If she guessed correctly, her roommates would definitely not be willing to eat it and should have taken it all home.
