Chapter 222 School Cafeteria
Indeed, they left as soon as they said they would. It wasn't dinner time yet, so they went outside to take a look. Ye Qian remembered that there was a tailor shop nearby.
A voice interrupted everyone's excitement: "I'm not going, you guys go." After that, he left the dormitory alone.
The person who said this was none other than Liu Mei. Everyone looked at each other, and Chen Yuan was the first to speak: "Then let's go."
Ye Qian nodded and said, "Well, I'll take you there. I wonder if the tailor shop nearby can make it. If not, you can buy some cloth and make it yourself. You all will stay in the lower bunks, so you won't need the pole we use. You can just tie it directly to the bunks. It might be much cheaper to do it yourself."
Several people nodded and said, yes, they all lived downstairs.
Zhang Yunyun was the first to speak: "Let's go take a look first."
"Um."
After the five of them left the house together, Chen Yuancai explained to Ye Qian and Fu Shan: "Liu Mei was like this when we came here. She didn't spend much time with us."
"I thought you were always together, because you were not there when I came in the morning, but you were together when I came back in the afternoon." Ye Qian said.
"No, it just happened. We've been here for a few days, but Liu Mei hasn't played with us. I guess it's because we're too old and there's nothing much to talk about."
Everyone looked like they understood, and Ye Qian nodded a little embarrassedly: "Yeah."
Ye Qian continued to ask: "By the way, have you met the other two roommates?"
"Yes, I have. The other two roommates are from BJ and Shanghai respectively. They hang out together."
He looked at Ye Qian with a look that said, "You understand." Ye Qian's eyes hurt, and she didn't know what to say, so she could only nod awkwardly.
Fu Shan listened to Ye Qian and saw that Ye Qian didn't say anything and acted as a nobody the whole time. However, Ye Qian felt that Fu Shan was quite likable and she was also quite eloquent, but she didn't show it much in front of Ye Qian.
When the group arrived at the tailor shop, Ye Qian told the tailor what she wanted. The tailor understood immediately and said with a smile, "You young people really know how to enjoy yourself."
"Master, we need to make three sets. When will they be ready?"
"I'll rush the work for you. Come pick it up tomorrow afternoon. It's 23 yuan a set. Are you sure you want it?"
Although it is not cheap, it is not impossible to buy it if you grit your teeth. After all, you will be staying here for 4 years, so it is not a loss if you calculate it. Isn't it good to have a better environment and live more comfortably?
The three people first prepared the fabric, handed the money directly to the tailor, and left.
It's cold now and it gets dark earlier outside. After discussing it, everyone decided to go directly to the cafeteria for dinner and then return to the dormitory. Ye Qian thought it was okay and agreed directly.
There are free meals in the cafeteria, including porridge, black-faced steamed buns, and pickles. The taste is definitely hard to describe, and Ye Qian didn't plan to eat the free food.
She and Fu Shan had eaten late at noon and were not very hungry now. They ordered a bowl of fried noodles with siu pork and took an empty bowl. Half was enough for each of them. Although their families were well-off, they could not waste food.
Chen Yuan ordered a bowl of noodles, and so did Zhang Yunyun. Chen Yuan ordered a bowl of rice and some stir-fried vegetables.
Ye Qian almost vomited when she took her first bite of fried noodles and covered her mouth tightly. Fu Shan sat on Ye Qian's ground with a confused look on her face.
The other three had been here for two or three days and were already aware of the situation. Seeing Ye Qian like this, they could only use laughter to ease the situation: "Haha, eat slowly."
Ye Qian swallowed the noodles without even chewing them and said, "It's not a matter of whether it's slow or not, it's too..." At this point, Ye Qian looked around, then stretched her head over and whispered, "It's too disgusting."
The three of them answered Ye Qian in unison: "We know."
Chen Yuan explained, "There's nothing we can do. This is the only cafeteria here, and there's nothing else to eat. Stir-fried noodles are a bit better. I was about to stop you, but you've already paid."
Fu Shan knew that Ye Qian's food was good, so it was normal for her to not be used to it, so she said, "Sister Qian, why don't I eat by myself and you go eat something else."
Ye Qian raised her eyebrows: "Are you sure?"
Fu Shan nodded: "Okay, let me eat it." Then she picked up a big chopstick of noodles and stuffed it into her mouth. She covered her mouth with her hands without chewing it for a few bites. There was no other way. It would be too ugly if she spit it out. After all, food is precious.
After Fu Shan swallowed the noodles bit by bit, she looked at the noodles in a daze. Ye Qian asked again: "Are you sure you want to finish it by yourself?"
Fu Shan looked embarrassed: "I'm not sure. I knew it tasted bad, but I didn't know it was this bad. This is not just bad, this is simply too bad."
Fu Shan's tongue twister made the four people at the table burst into laughter.
Ye Qian hadn't eaten such disgusting food for a long time. The noodles were clumpy and seemed to have turned into mud as soon as they entered her mouth. The taste was terrible, and the noodles were very salty, really, really salty. Ye Qian suspected that the chef was in a bad mood today and added salt twice without him knowing.
But food cannot be wasted. This is the way it is in this day and age. Ye Qian got two bowls of free porridge. Most of the porridge was rice soup. She put the noodles in the soup, rinsed them before eating. It was not so salty anymore. She finished it quickly and pushed the plate away.
Ye Qian looked at the three of them and asked, "You've been here for a few days now. What are the things you can't touch? Can you remind us first, so that we don't go astray again?"
Chen Yuan said embarrassedly: "Actually, the others are all fine, but this one is not so good, really, just this one."
Ye Qian held her forehead with her hand. "My luck is so bad. I ordered the wrong thing. It's over. I don't have a good impression of this cafeteria anymore. I don't believe you if you tell me that other food is delicious."
Zhang Yunyun explained, "What Chen Yuan said is true. This is the worst to eat, and it's not cheap."
He Jun explained: "Stir-frying is okay, really, but it's a little expensive."
"I don't believe you. Wait until I try it for breakfast tomorrow, then I'll believe it."
This can’t be blamed on Ye Qian. The taste is really unbearable.
In order to suffer less, Ye Qian and Fu Shan quickly finished their dinner. The three of them also ate faster and returned to the dormitory after dinner.
…
At this time, Gu Jinyan was coaxing the three children who missed their mother to eat dinner. Ranran said calmly: "I miss my mother too, but we still have to eat. Mom has gone to school, and we have to support her."
Ningning only made a fuss for a while, then ate a big bowl of rice with tears in her eyes, probably because she missed her mother.
Xixi was much calmer, "Dad, Mom will be back by the weekend, right?"
"Yes, mom goes to school, just like you, but she has to live on campus and can only come back on weekends, so you three have to be good at home, otherwise mom will beat you when she comes back." Gu Jinyan threatened the three children.
