After taking a shower, Ye Qingqing and Ruan Yingzi returned to their dormitory feeling refreshed. Qian Manduo was already eating, with two bowls of food on the table. No one else had returned yet.
Qian Manyuo is thin and small, but she has a big appetite. She is from the north and loves to eat steamed buns. The food in the military training canteen is of military standard, and the steamed buns are thick and substantial. Ye Qingqing feels full after eating one, but Qian Manyuo can eat three in one meal.
But Ye Qingqing felt that the three buns were probably because Qian Manduo hadn't been able to eat as much as he wanted. She was quite curious about how many buns Qian Manduo could eat if he were to eat to his heart's content.
Ruan Yingzi also has a big appetite. She exercises a lot and can eat three at a time, while Ye Qingqing can only eat one and a half at most, and any more than that would be overflowing.
The rice in the cafeteria was too hard. Ye Qingqing didn't like hard rice; she preferred soft and sticky rice. She'd rather eat steamed buns than hard rice.
She asked Qian Manyuo to make two steamed buns, plus a serving of braised pork and vegetables.
Qian Manduo only ordered a serving of shredded potatoes, which she ate with a steamed bun with great relish. This girl was particularly focused when she ate, her eyes sparkling as if she were looking at money.
Sometimes Ye Qingqing has no appetite, but as soon as she sees Qian Manduo eating, she immediately has an appetite. If it were in the future, someone as talented as Qian Manduo would definitely be a hit as a food vlogger.
After exercising all day, Ye Qingqing was hungry, but when she saw the greasy braised pork, with more fat than lean meat, it was clearly not made of pork belly, and she immediately lost interest.
She only eats braised pork belly, and it has to be the best piece of pork belly, with distinct layers of lean and fat. The resulting braised pork belly is rich but not greasy, and goes especially well with rice.
Now, just looking at these large, fatty slices of meat makes Ye Qingqing feel full, affecting her appetite.
"Do you want some of my braised pork?" Ye Qingqing asked Ruan Yingzi. The girl also had braised pork in her bowl; their dishes were the same.
Ruan Yingzi had already eaten several pieces and was so sick of it that she rolled her eyes. Hearing Ye Qingqing's words, she shook her head vigorously, "No, I'm going to throw this away, it's too sickening."
Qian Manduo paused in his chewing, looked over at Ye Qingqing and the others, stared intently at the braised pork in their bowls, and couldn't help but swallow.
Such good meat is being thrown away, what a waste!
Ye Qingqing looked at the braised pork with disgust. "I can't eat a single bite. It's all big slices of fat. This isn't braised pork; it's just boiled slices of fat. It's disgusting."
Qian Manduo pursed his lips. How come it's not braised pork? The meat is good meat, such a big piece, bright in color, and smells delicious. It's such good braised pork.
They're all so idle. Go to her hometown and do farm work for a day; they can even eat sorghum buns.
Ye Qingqing ate half a steamed bun with the greens, but she couldn't eat anymore. She was about to throw the vegetables away when she saw that Qian Manduo's shredded potatoes were almost gone, with only a little soup and green pepper strips left. But she couldn't bear to throw them away, so she dipped the steamed bun in the soup and ate it very seriously, as if she were eating a delicacy.
Looking at the braised pork in her bowl, Ye Qingqing suddenly felt that she was being too pretentious.
But she still didn't want to eat the large, fatty slices of meat.
However, wasting food is not good either. Ye Qingqing looked at the dark-skinned and thin Qian Manduo and had an idea.
For the past two weeks of military training, Qian Manyuo has been eating only a steamed bun for most of his meals, along with a few bowls of free soup from the canteen, just enough to fill his stomach.
