Chapter 12
Although Luda Academy of Fine Arts is an art school, its internet-famous canteen has been on news programs and is said to be one of the schools that pays the most attention to student health, and it is constantly making new things happen.
Some netizens also made sarcastic comments, saying that even the chefs in art schools are artists, so if you come to Lushui and don’t go to the art school cafeteria, it’s like you’ve come in vain.
Previously, it became a hot search because of its innovative dish of fried cranberries with red peppers. The dish was named "Red and Prosperous".
After eating, the students commented: In order to make students adapt to the hardships of society in advance, the school first degrades the students' sense of taste.
If this dish is worth eating, at least it is sweet and sour and appetizing.
The signature dish at the small restaurant on the top floor of the school is a real feast for the eyes.
It's called reaching the sky in one step.
Use a ladder to fix a carp on it and pretend that the carp is about to jump over the dragon gate. The meaning sounds good, but the carp tastes like coffee.
Carp, coffee flavor.
Putting these two words together makes it feel like Tang Monk traveled to the Jurassic period and finally met aliens who buried him.
It just has nothing to do with each other.
There are actually some brave people who have tried it. This is a dish that teachers must order when they have dinner with their students. Many students suspect that the teacher took a cut from this dish, but of course, as a teacher, he would not do that.
The teachers thought this dish had a good meaning, but they didn’t want to eat it. They said that just looking at it made them lose their appetite.
"Don't you young people like to drink coffee in the morning? Try it, you will definitely like it." This is what every teacher said, as if you were attending a training class.
The truth is that a class of students were forced to taste this dark dish after hearing what the teacher said, but they felt unhappy and angry.
Why are only the students in their class supposed to suffer this kind of hardship?
So these students went out and told teachers from other classes how good this dish was, and asked the teachers to bring their own students to eat it as well, saying that if they didn't eat it, they wouldn't be good teachers.
Now, all the students at Luda Academy of Fine Arts are unhappy.
From that class on, the school was like a plague virus. Whenever a student came to school, someone would take him to eat this dish that would make him successful overnight.
Another student asked why coffee was put outside the carp.
The chef said, "It's so hard to achieve success overnight. You still have to rely on your hard work. Coffee is good for students to wake up. Don't you art students love to stay up late?"
So thoughtful.
He has a meaningful story and understands the real needs of students. He is truly a "good chef" that is hard to find.
Xu Zhou and his friends had not originally intended to take Wei Ge to eat at Yibudengtian, but Wei Ge felt that one should be generous when treating someone to a meal.
Originally, several people were at the small window on the first floor, but Wei Ge took them to the top floor.
At this moment, four people were sitting in a small private room looking at the menu. Wei Ge patted his pocket. Although he had no money in his pocket, online payment did not require cash.
"Seniors, please order whatever you want. I'll pay for everything today." Wei Ge spoke like a local tycoon at this moment, but he was indeed a local tycoon.
"What's the budget?" Zhang Zhilin pushed his glasses. It wasn't that he was too rigid, but it was his conditioned reflex as the class monitor. He always had to know how much money he could spend before any activity.
"Even if we don't have a budget, we can still book this restaurant today." If you want to be generous, you must be generous. This is the first time in Wei Ge's life that he has said such tough words.
It is true that a person’s confidence comes from the savings in his pocket.
Shen Che and Xing Zhao walked into the school cafeteria. It was lunchtime and there were quite a few people getting food.
The students passing by were looking for seats with their plates. Shen Che and Xing Zhao looked at the food on their plates for a long time. Although they were both rich, they were not very particular about food.
The cafeteria food looks delicious too.
"How about I borrow a meal card from a student? It seems like you have to swipe a meal card here." Shen Che glanced at the campus card waved in the hand of a passing classmate, and then looked at the card reader hanging on the window in the distance.
"No need, I know someone." Xing Zhao took out his cell phone and typed a few words on it.
[Xing Zhao]: Have you had lunch?
Wei Ge's cell phone rang. He opened it and saw that it was a message from Xing Zhao.
This uncle seemed to be too concerned about himself. Li Cheng came over to show Wei Ge the menu and said that it couldn't be just the three of them ordering, so Wei Ge should also order some of his favorite food.
Wei Ge responded and put down his phone to look at the menu in Li Cheng's hand.
No reply to Xing Zhao’s message.
On the first floor of the cafeteria, Shen Che stood aside and watched Xing Zhao send messages, but he definitely didn't lean over to look. Not looking at other people's privacy is basic practice.
But Xing Zhao looked increasingly worse.
"Didn't you borrow one? How about I go and borrow one?" Shen Che asked, intending to liven up the somewhat awkward atmosphere, but he didn't expect Xing Zhao's face to become even darker.
"I'm going to make a call." Xing Zhao walked towards the door, picked up his phone and made a voice call to Wei Ge. The line rang about seven or eight times but no one answered.
There was a busy tone, and the other party didn't answer and hung up.
The child has grown up and his wings have become stronger.
However, before Xing Zhao could dial the number again, a message came from the other end.
[Wei Ge]: I’m eating in the cafeteria. Is there anything wrong?
It was too cold, so cold that Xing Zhao felt a little unhappy. Is this the way to talk to elders?
I feel that if he says that he is in the cafeteria now, this kid will sneak back to the dormitory and say that he was just joking with him and that he was not in the cafeteria.
You want to avoid him on purpose, right? Then he can't say he's here.
[Xing Zhao]: Take a look at what you have eaten and use it as a reference.
Wei Ge on the opposite side was stunned for a moment. For reference, why did it feel like Xing Zhao was just making small talk here? What kind of reference could he have in a university cafeteria?
No, Xing Zhao had just finished eating gummy candy with him yesterday, carried him back to the room and fed him medicine.
Today I am concerned about what he will eat for lunch.
Is he overthinking this? There's something wrong with him.
Wei Ge typed very quickly, and the sentence he just sent out was also sent out quickly, almost without thinking, because Li Cheng and Xu Zhou were sitting too close to him.
He didn't want to keep messaging Xing Zhao in front of outsiders. He felt embarrassed whenever he thought about what happened last night, and he was afraid that everyone would remember it and ask about it.
But it shouldn't be a big deal for two straight guys to eat some gummy candy, since the other person is his elder...
Nothing, right?
There is a saying that is true: a person with an upright character has nothing to fear from his shadow, but Wei Ge’s body is crooked, too crooked, very crooked.
And Wei Ge still has to have some shame, or rather, Wei Ge is a little thin-skinned and afraid that others will find out what he is up to.
Wei Ge always thought that his orientation was quite niche and he didn't dare to speak out. He didn't expect that he would disturb the niche and this thing has long been popular.
However, people like him who like this kind of older dad style are still quite rare.
Wei Ge was still well-behaved. He raised his phone and took a picture of the table in front of him. A corner of the menu was captured in the photo, but several of his companions were not included because he valued privacy.
[Wei Ge]: My roommate and I are ordering food in the cafeteria. It hasn’t arrived yet. I’ll give you some reference later.
Xing Zhao received the message and looked at the picture and the long paragraph of text. Although it was not very long, it was more than two lines.
It feels great.
It wasn't that perfunctory, maybe he was just overthinking it.
Wait, having dinner with roommate, isn’t that Xu Zhou who had his birthday last night?
Xing Zhao enlarged the photo and saw the menu in the photo with the restaurant's name printed in the upper left corner.
He turned around and looked at the sign inside the cafeteria. It was right. This restaurant was on the top floor of the cafeteria. It was a small restaurant for school gatherings.
The food was pretty good. He was always worried about Wei Ge's family conditions and was thinking about finding an opportunity to give him some pocket money.
The conditions seem pretty good. We can have lunch in the cafeteria and eat out in the small restaurant.
"I'll take you to a restaurant at noon today." Xing Zhao put down his phone and turned to speak to Shen Che who was standing beside him.
"Going to a restaurant? Not eating at school?" Shen Che was stunned for a moment. He had just chosen what he wanted to eat for lunch from the plates of passing students.
I felt like my plan was broken, but I had to follow Xing Zhao's arrangements because he was the one who paid my salary.
"At school." Xing Zhao pointed to the elevator on the top floor of the cafeteria, "Go to the top floor."
Xu Zhou ordered a dish that was not too expensive. It should be said that he was a nice guy, although he wanted to have physical contact with Wei Ge intentionally or unintentionally, which made Wei Ge feel uncomfortable.
However, Wei Ge could feel that Xu Zhou really cared about him. For example, at this moment he could feel that Xu Zhou was saving money for him.
But he has money now, so he doesn't need to save.
Li Cheng ordered two meat dishes. He said that eating without meat is like not eating at all, and one of these two dishes is the best.
I don't have any bad intentions, I just like to put on some shows.
"Don't eat it, that thing is not tasty." Xu Zhou waved to the waiter. Zhang Zhilin looked up at Xu Zhou. Usually, this kid is more active in teasing people than Li Cheng.
I feel like he has changed a bit since Wei Ge came.
He wasn't interested in thinking about what had changed.
But he was good at resolving the situation: "I haven't ordered yet, Li Cheng, you can't order two dishes."
Zhang Zhilin ordered a signature dish that he had thought was delicious before, and Wei Ge also ordered one according to the rules. Although he was the banker today, he still had to order a dish.
The waiter looked at the four dishes on the menu and said, "That's enough. The portions are big, enough for four young men."
He put away the menu and was about to leave when a man's voice came from the door. His voice was very steady, "Add two more. There are too many people today."
Wei Ge looked up and saw Xing Zhao at the door walking in with a very quiet-looking man. The two of them had an aura a bit like leaders on patrol.
The question I asked myself what to eat just now was not for reference, but for a sneak attack.
What a "surprise" personality.
Compared to Wei Ge, the displeasure on Xu Zhou's face was almost overflowing.
"What would you like to order?" The waiter stood at the door and handed the menu to Xing Zhao and Shen Che.
Xing Zhao didn't take the menu, but glanced at it from the side. "One step to the top."
Okay, I've hit the nail on the head.
Zhang Zhilin looked up at Xu Zhou, then remembered what he had just said and tried to stop him: "Uncle, this dish..."
"This dish is especially delicious. You should eat this when you come to this restaurant. You should eat more when the time comes. You need to replenish your body as you get older." Before Zhang Zhilin finished speaking, Xu Zhou took over.
Wei Ge turned his head to look at Xu Zhou beside him. What happened? Did he lose his memory?
It seems that Xu Zhou didn’t say this just now. What he said was... this dish is not delicious, and there was a hint of disgust in his tone.
It was delicious so quickly. Did the chef improve his cooking skills after seeing Xing Zhao?
The waiter also glanced at Xu Zhou. He has been working here for many years. How could he not know whether the food is delicious or not?
It can be seen that it was just a dinner party, but now it is a battlefield. These two men have a grudge against each other.
Xing Zhao nodded to the waiter, walked straight past Wei Ge and came to Xu Zhou, "Excuse me, I want to sit here."
