Chapter 271 Mistake
"Right away, right away." The stove was on high fire and it would be ready in a moment. Ye Qian served each of them a bowl of rice, and then added a small spoonful of braised minced meat, a large spoonful of soup, an egg, and a handful of green vegetables. It was not that Ye Qian was stingy, this was just too much and it was good enough to be able to taste it.
But they still ate happily, "If you want to eat, why don't you tell us earlier? We can secretly leave a piece." Zhang Yunyun has been watching in the kitchen since Chen Feng left. It's not impossible for her to hide a piece. Chen Yuan immediately said, "We haven't thought of it yet. Why don't you secretly hide a piece for us tomorrow?"
Zhang Yunyun thought it was okay, "Okay."
Afterwards, the whole room was eerily quiet except for the sound of chopsticks hitting bowls. That was until Chen Yuan finished his meal first. He smacked his lips with a satisfied look, rubbed his round belly, and said, "I want another bowl."
Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks, "Although my stomach is full, I still feel like I can eat more."
Everyone was sitting comfortably. Ye Qian couldn't help but remind them, "Hurry up, we're about to close. Soak these bowls in water and wash them tomorrow. We're running out of time. Take that bowl of double-skin milk with half red beans and half coconut flakes to Aunt Yan."
"Well, everyone was worried about being locked out, so they quickly cleaned up the dishes, took the double skin milk, locked the door and left."
This bowl of food for Aunt Yan was specially served by Ye Qian in a rice bowl. It was not a small amount, but for the sake of a peaceful dormitory life, she didn't feel bad about this little bribe.
Aunt Yan had a good impression of these children. They were very capable and remembered her for everything. They also didn't cause her any trouble. Every time she went back, she was very careful, for fear of making any noise and disturbing others. Naturally, she had to take better care of such considerate students.
When Aunt Yan received the double skin milk handed to her by Ye Qian, her face was full of smiles. She had just heard that there was something new at the school gate, and it was made by the people selling clothes. She wondered if it was Ye Qian and the others. Everyone said that there was too little and they couldn’t buy it, so she thought about going through the back door and buying it to try. Unexpectedly, it was delivered this evening. Aunt Yan smiled and refused a few times before accepting it.
Ye Qian poured the double skin milk in the bowl into Aunt Yan's bowl and went upstairs. It was not that Ye Qian was stingy with only one bowl, but everyone had enough, and some people only had this one bowl. If they gave it to others, what would they eat?
A few people had already settled the bill outside, so there was no need to settle it again when they returned to the dormitory. They just took their toiletries and went to wash up.
Lying on her bunk, Liu Mei was a little puzzled. Why wasn't she counting her money today? Wasn't she usually so cheerful? Wasn't business bad today? She had heard that the stall selling double-skin milk at the door was doing incredibly well, stealing all the business from the other stalls. They must have been robbed too. No business was good. These people were losing money.
After thinking about this, Liu Mei relaxed her nerves that had been staring at this side, and fell asleep in a short while. She didn't even know when the seven people came back, and she slept very soundly that night.
The next day.
Ye Qian woke up at 6 o'clock in the morning. She remembered that she had not washed the dishes yesterday, so she had to wash them in the morning and add some more marinade to the braising liquid. She got up quickly and woke up several other people. After hearing what Ye Qian said, they all got up.
After everyone had packed up, they went to the cafeteria to have breakfast together. Recently, everyone's breakfast was very rich, two steamed buns, a bowl of free porridge, or a bowl of soy milk. Although the steamed buns were not made of pure white flour, such a breakfast was already the best in this era. After all, there were still many students eating free black-faced steamed buns and free porridge, and this was the case for three meals a day.
Although the cafeteria was noisy, there were still many students reading while eating breakfast. Ye Qian would never do that. Although she worked very hard, what if she choked or had indigestion?
Ye Qian didn't like eating like this. Zhang Yunyun did the same at the beginning, but she got better after Ye Qian talked to her twice. It's not that it's wrong to do this, but is it really good to be distracted when doing things? Can you really learn while studying? Can you really eat well? It's better to put your mind together and do one thing wholeheartedly. This is better for concentrating your attention.
The seven people quickly finished their breakfast, packed up their lunch boxes, and walked across.
After Ye Qian opened the door, everyone began to find work to do, such as sweeping the floor, mopping the floor, and washing dishes. Ye Qian was a little confused because she had already prepared to wash the dishes, but suddenly she didn't know what to do. After being confused for 2 minutes, she went to the kitchen to make the braised soup, adding water, brine, and ingredients, and then added some rock sugar. While making the braised soup, she also boiled a few eggs on the side, and put them in the soup later. She could eat the braised eggs before going to school.
Just after finishing the work at hand and just about to take a break, I saw Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang pushing Shen Feng over. Ye Qian looked at her watch, "It's only 8 o'clock. Isn't work at 9 o'clock? It's still early."
"It's okay. You're staying at home anyway. You might as well come over early and see if there's anything you can do to help," said Aunt Wang.
"Yes, I see it's too busy here, so I can help out while it's still early. I'll have to go over there if it's too late." Aunt Zhang explained.
"It's okay, but we're almost done. Since we're here, let's braise everything first." At this point, Ye Qian suddenly remembered, "I only ordered meat, not vegetables. I have to go out and buy them myself. I completely forgot."
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this. Chen Yuan teased, "Sister Qian, you still forget things sometimes. That's rare."
"That's right. I saw that you had arranged everything, so I didn't ask. I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it." Zhang Yunyun said with a smile.
"Let's go buy some groceries while it's still early." Ye Qian said to Aunt Wang, "Let's braise the meat and chicken feet first. They don't absorb the flavor well. Boil the eggs and soak them. Let's go buy the other groceries." She rummaged through the large sack beside her and said, "Let's go, hurry up, or the groceries will be gone if we're late."
Seeing that it was getting late, if they went too late there would still be nothing left, so they hurried over. However, the city center is great, there is everything you need nearby, and the vegetable market is not too far away. After walking for more than ten minutes, they arrived at a large vegetable market and started buying vegetables. They bought more things that can be kept, such as lotus root, potatoes, and kelp, which can be kept for a while, but dried ones cannot, as they will become sour if they are not eaten for a day.
After walking around, Ye Qian was surprised to find that there were pig's trotters. "Master, how much are these pig's trotters?"
