After leaving the department store, Hu Xiaoman looked at the time. It was still early.
She turned around, got in the car, and went to the former site of the imperial palace.
This place is really big, and not very crowded. Maybe most people are at work or school at this time.
Apart from a few people here and there, she was the only one strolling around.
But after looking at the map, she just walked around the door for a while and then left.
This place is simply too vast. How did the concubines manage to stumble upon the emperor in the past? In such a vast place, they would have to run four or five miles to encounter him, right?
Tsk tsk tsk…
Hu Xiaoman left here and went directly to the department store. This is a real building.
The five floors are all for selling goods, and there are a lot of people inside.
However, no one tried to steal anything, which was quite polite.
But when she got to the back...
Well, she was careless.
The counter at the back was full of people, as if they were fighting over something.
Hu Xiaoman leaned over to take a look and saw that all the products for sale were defective.
Seeing this, she felt a little puzzled. Shouldn't the defective products be consumed internally? Why were they being sold?
In fact, this is not like small cities where there are few things. In big cities, there are many things, and even if there is demand for defective products, they cannot be digested.
So we have to sell them, otherwise the warehouse will be too stocked and we won’t be able to get new goods.
Hu Xiaoman naturally didn't know all this. She walked upstairs and looked at the clothes on the second floor.
You know what, the clothes here are better looking than those in Chuncheng Department Store.
The main thing is that there are more styles and colors.
She chose two shirts and two pairs of shoes. She must have had tickets, as she exchanged them for national tickets on the black market before leaving.
These all need to be replaced, otherwise there will be nothing when you use them, which is too inconvenient.
After buying these things, Hu Xiaoman went out with her bag.
This time it’s dinner time!
She happily ran to the state-owned restaurant opposite the department store, which was the most upscale place.
There are three floors in total. It seems that it was a hotel in the past and was later converted into a state-owned hotel.
After Hu Xiaoman went in, he found that there were quite a few people there. It was lunchtime, so there were a lot of people.
She took a look at the supplies. Today they had beef brisket stewed with potatoes, as well as vegetarian dishes like stir-fried meat with celery, steamed fish, and braised tofu.
There are many more dishes here than in other places, it’s worthy of being a big city.
Hu Xiaoman ordered a dish of stewed beef brisket with potatoes and a dish of stir-fried vegetables.
It’s not enough for one person to finish it, but she brought a lunch box so she can take it away.
Put it in the space and eat it when you are hungry.
After paying for her ticket, she went to an empty table and sat down.
At this time, people at the window started calling for people to serve the dishes, and the restaurant was in chaos for a while.
Hu Xiaoman frowned. It seemed that big hotels also had many disadvantages. It was more noisy when there were more people.
She couldn't help but sigh, then sat there and waited calmly.
People started coming in again. Those with more people went upstairs, while those with fewer people shared a table downstairs.
Hu Xiaoman's table is very small, and there is still room for one person to sit opposite him, so most people come with two or three people and share a table at a big table.
"Excuse me, is there anyone here?" A young man in his twenties wearing a Zhongshan suit stood in front of her.
Hu Xiaoman looked up. The man was gentle and elegant, wearing a pair of narrow-framed glasses, and looked very refined.
She turned around and saw that the table next to her was full, so she replied, "No one."
Since there is no place left, let's just share a table.
The man nodded and sat down, then looked elsewhere.
Hu Xiaoman heard his number being called from the window and hurried over to serve the food.
The people on the opposite side were stunned.
But Hu Xiaoman didn't care. She ate rice and beef brisket.
You know what, the beef brisket is stewed very soft and the potatoes are also very tender.
It’s delicious!
The man opposite looked at her eating like this, his eyes full of surprise.
Is this edible?
At this time, his number was called at the window. He went over and got a bowl of noodles with soybean paste, then sat opposite Hu Xiaoman.
Look at your own noodles with soybean paste, and then look at the two dishes opposite.
Okay, it's a bit shabby.
Seeing that he was staring at his food bowl, Hu Xiaoman swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "What's that..."
"Don't keep staring at my food. I won't give it to anyone else."
He's a stranger, who knows if he has any disease that can be contagious through saliva?
Besides, she bought this with her own money and can’t give it to others.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jinnian's face turned black.
When did he want to eat other people's food?
"I don't want to eat your food, you don't have to do this." He said in a bad tone.
Hu Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief. All that mattered was that they didn't snatch her food away.
After she finished her meal, she skillfully started to pack her lunch box.
The two lunch boxes only contained beef brisket stewed with potatoes, so there was no way to pack the vegetables.
She glanced at the person opposite her, then took out a lunch box from the bag containing her clothes and put it in.
Although there are only a few vegetables, we can't waste them.
You can't throw this thing away, it's such a waste.
Seeing Hu Xiaoman packing so many things, Lin Jinnian turned around, then quickly finished his meal and left.
Hu Xiaoman came out carrying his things and got on the bus to Beijing University.
This place is great. There are direct buses to the university without any stops in between, but there is only one bus per hour.
She put her things aside and watched the person who had just sat opposite her get on the bus.
Both of them saw each other, then turned their heads away, neither looking at the other.
Hu Xiaoman: He must have wanted to eat my beef brisket just now. But, he's from the same school? Could he be my senior?
Lin Jinnian: Big eyes, small stomach. (meaning: prepared a lot of food but can't finish it all)
After arriving at the station, Hu Xiaoman did not go into the school immediately. Instead, she waited for Lin Jinnian to go in. Then she found a deserted place and put the food into the space.
I just carried my clothes and only brought one pair of shoes.
When I returned to the dormitory, there were no one there. Everyone had gone out to play during the break.
Hu Xiaoman put his clothes and shoes into the storage cabinet, then climbed onto the upper bunk.
Lin Wan, who occupies the lower bunk, is not here. He went home to spend the night on holiday.
"Oh... We don't know anyone, so we can't go out for a walk." Liu Xiangyun said sarcastically, then glanced in the direction of Hu Xiaoman's bed.
Li Hongying replied, "You don't have to worry about getting lost if you go out to play. You should just stay in the dormitory and read."
"That's right, we can only read here." Liu Xiangyun curled her lips and rolled her eyes.
Hu Xiaoman didn't bother to pay attention to their sarcastic remarks and just flipped through the textbook.
There was a table in the middle of the beds below, and everyone had a table, but it was difficult to climb up and down, so she preferred to lie down.
It would be nice if I could play with my phone, but it’s a pity that I can’t take it out or access my space.
It would be nice to have a cup of milk tea and watch TV series at this time. It’s so annoying to listen to their sarcastic remarks.
