"Lunchbox! Lunchbox!"
"Those who want boxed lunches, come and place your order!!"
There were attendants walking back and forth outside. People in the ordinary carriages were reluctant to buy food at this time, but there were more reservations in the hard sleeper and soft sleeper carriages.
However, the flight attendant did not push the cart or carry the lunch boxes.
Xu Tiantu asked curiously, "Where's the meal?"
Captain Li said, "Please buy your tickets first, and then the flight attendants will bring you the meals when it's time for lunch."
Xu Tiantu blinked and asked, "Can we eat it then?"
Never eaten it!
Of course I really want to eat it!
Captain Li naturally couldn't go hungry. This time they were definitely different from the past. In the past, they saved as much as possible, but now they just had to keep the children stable, and they had to spend money as needed.
"Eat! Of course I eat!!"
So when the flight attendant came over, Captain Li called her and said, "Hello, comrade, we need to order four meals."
The flight attendant hummed, taking notes in a small notebook as she asked, "Which one do you want? Vegetable or meat? Vegetable is 1.5 yuan, meat is two yuan."
This is not a cheap price. Nowadays, whether it is 1.5 yuan or 2 yuan, it can be considered a lot of money.
But the only advantage is that you don’t need a ticket, you can just buy it with money.
Captain Li couldn't be too picky with the children, so he ordered three meat dishes and one vegetable dish. He could eat the vegetable dish himself, but since the children rarely came out, they definitely had to eat the meat dish.
After the reservation was made, the flight attendant gave them 4 tickets, which meant they were registered. They would send lunch boxes over when it was time for dinner.
Captain Li closed the door of the soft sleeper compartment and turned around to see Tang Feizhu stuffing 6 yuan into his pocket: "Uncle Li, this is for you."
Captain Li smiled and said, "No, how can you afford this?"
Tang Feizhu was very persistent: "That's different. This is not a business trip and we can't reimburse you. You are accompanying us, so we should also cover your meal expenses. But I don't think you will accept it, so we will give you a belt as a gift."
Captain Li, a person they learned from, was also very friendly to them, so it was impossible for them to be stingy with others for just a few dollars. This was definitely not appropriate.
And if it weren't for them, Captain Li wouldn't have to spend this money.
Anyway, no matter how the other party refuses, they will definitely have to pay, but there is no need to discuss this now. Tang Feizhu said: "This is what my father said. I'll give it to you now. It's not appropriate to keep it with us."
He spoke with such a condescending air that Captain Li thought he couldn't just leave the children here. It wasn't a small sum, and if it got lost, he wouldn't be able to explain to the parents. He could just leave them here first and return them to their parents later. Besides, they still hadn't figured out where these people came from, so he'd just wait and see.
When it was time for lunch, the flight attendant came over with a cart. This time the cart was full of aluminum lunch boxes, piled high.
After opening it, the aroma of rice filled the air. I have to say that the food inside was quite substantial, with meat, eggs and vegetables.
Each of the three children gave Captain Li a little meat, which made Captain Li unable to refuse but also a little embarrassed. He thought to himself that he should order meat next time. Everyone would eat the same thing, so the children could eat with peace of mind.
…
The journey was very smooth. After a few days on the train, we arrived in North City. The four of us checked into the guesthouse, but they lived in one room. Captain Li slept on the floor. It was impossible for them to live separately with three children, in case they got lost or something happened. That would be terrible. But there were more important things at the moment.
Captain Li didn't know how they could meet the people they wanted to see, because he had no connections, let alone these children. So he was quite worried. His heart was always floating on the road, and he still couldn't calm down: "What should we do next?"
This is also his biggest question now. He really doesn't know what to do, so he can only ask these children in a nonsensical way.
Xu Tiantu said, "Don't worry, Captain Li. We have a solution. Don't worry! Come on! Let's eat... instant noodles first!!"
"yeah!!"
The children clapped their hands to each other and took out a few packets of instant noodles from their schoolbags.
"Hahahahaha!! I can finally eat instant noodles."
These instant noodles are made by a special department, so they don't have any packaging or year or month, only the date is marked on them. This way, everyone just needs to eat them before the deadline, saving the trouble of expiration.
Captain Li asked curiously, "What is this? Why are you all so happy?"
Xu Yuanhu said: "We are not allowed to eat it at home, but now that we are outside, no one can stop us. We can finally eat it."
Captain Li immediately put on a serious face and said, "Why don't you eat it normally? Is this food bad? If it's bad, you can't eat it. I can't bear to see you eat something bad."
"No, it's the adults who think this is junk food, but it's not. What's more, this thing is magical. Just add hot water and it will cook by itself, and then you can eat it."
Captain Li had never seen anything like this before, so he was very curious and took the initiative to bring back a pot of hot water. The children had already unpacked the dough and placed the dough neatly in 4 bowls for 4 people, with seasonings on top. Captain Li filled the 4 bowls with water and then covered them with lids.
