Chapter 279 Canteen



After the lights in the dormitory were turned off, Xiao Yuehua still stared at the upper bunk with her eyes wide open. The fire bricks on the floor emitted heat, and the room was cozy, but Xiao Yuehua did not feel sleepy at all.

From Chen He, Xiao Yuehua understood for the first time the difficulties faced by poor people. It seemed unbelievable to Xiao Yuehua that people could endure such heart-wrenching pain just for a can worth two cents.

“This world is weird.”

"I feel like you're the weird one." A voice came from the upper bunk opposite, responding to Xiao Yuehua's muttering. This was a nine-year-old rich girl named Zhang Xin.

"I think you're weird, too." This was the voice coming from the upper bunk bed of Xiao Yuehua. It was also a little girl from a wealthy family. Her name was Liu Hui and she was also nine years old.

"Yes, our Yuzhou ancestors are all here in person, and you can actually come in through the back door to study, especially when the holidays are approaching. It's incredible."

This is a little girl from an ordinary family who lives alone in the lower bunk bed. Her name is Wang Min. She has the same surname and age as Xiao Yuehua. She was able to pass the exam at the age of seven last year, which is a very good result.

"Ignore her. I asked you to help me take leave."

Don't you see what kind of people our gentlemen are? How could they allow corruption to happen? With the ability of the gentlemen, it would be easy to catch a few corrupt officials.

Zhang Xin tugged at Xiao Yuehua's sleeve and said, "Take the plate away first, I'll explain it to you later."

The young woman inside laughed and said, "You didn't even prepare your ticket to order anything in advance. Hurry up and take your plate and leave. There are people waiting behind you."

Liu Hui raised her head and said, "Of course. Look at how much food money our senior brothers and sisters donated to us. How could we not eat well? Those people who made us eat poorly are still sweeping the streets on Chang'an Street to pay back the money. I heard that the one who made the most money may have to sweep the streets for the rest of his life, including the punishment."

Chen He smiled shyly and nodded, "The school's food is indeed very good, and you can eat as much as you want. The key is that they are all cooked by chefs from our Yuzhou department, and their cooking skills are also very good."

Wang Min curled her lips and said, "What else can it be? He embezzled our food allowance. According to regulations, each student is entitled to 20 wen of food allowance per day. Although only two colleges are offering classes now, there are still about 10,000 students.

Several girls came to the canteen together. Xiao Yuehua sniffed hard and said happily, "It smells so good. I didn't expect the food in the canteen to be so good."

We eat much better than most people. Our ancestors said that studying is very demanding of the brain. We are in the period of growing up, so we cannot eat poorly.

Zhang Xin explained: "This portion is not too much, we can finish it anyway. Even if we really don't have an appetite, it's okay once or twice, but if we do this all the time, we will be punished."

Don’t be fooled by Lotus’s short stature. In fact, it has grown a lot. When it first arrived, it was even shorter than it is now, with yellow hair and a yellow face. It had very little flesh on its body. It has gained back a lot this year.”

That day's food allowance was two hundred strings of cash, a huge sum that had to be paid every day. Naturally, the guys who bought groceries couldn't help but want to take advantage of it.

Xiao Yuehua was stunned and said incredulously: "What if I have no appetite and can't eat?"

Zhang Xin followed behind and said, "You must finish eating these unless there is a special reason."

"What's the big deal? He Hua is over the age limit, but she still got in, right?"

Xiao Yuehua asked curiously, "Since she is so good at math and writing, why is the encyclopedia not enough for her grades?"

Xiao Yuehua hesitated for a moment, but decided to take the plate away first. There was indeed a queue behind her, and it would not be good to delay others by getting stuck here.

Zhang Xin laughed and said, "Hehe, Wang Yuehua, you are really brave. If you don't get punished tomorrow, I will admire you."

Xiao Yuehua asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Wang Min immediately retorted, "That's different. He Hua originally applied to the Eighth Academy, but her scores in Encyclopedia were not good enough. However, her math and essays were particularly good, so the dean approved her to study in the Ninth Academy for two years."

Chen He said on the side: "In fact, the standard meal is already very good, not much worse than the restaurants outside."

Wang Min explained: "Anyway, you can eat the common things like pork, beef, mutton, chicken, duck, fish, eggs, etc., and the expensive seafood and wild delicacies can be eaten on the day of the holiday. The food is really good.

"Why do I need a ticket to order food? Isn't it enough to just have money? Don't you dare to bluff me?"

"Haha, let's see tomorrow. Now go to sleep."

Zhang Xin explained: "Only when you pay for food will you smell this aroma. Standard meals don't have this aroma."

The next day, Xiao Yuehua woke up to the sound of the other four little girls shouting. She looked at the upper bunk, sighed, and got up to get dressed.

Liu Hui, who was on the upper bunk, replied, "There's no encyclopedia at her house. Her father just borrowed one for her to read for a few days before the exam. How could it be good enough for her grades?"

"I'm not afraid of her."

Xiao Yuehua frowned and asked, "What can I eat with 20 cents a day?"

After washing your face and brushing your teeth, apply antifreeze cream on your face and then comb your hair. The school does not allow any extra hair accessories. Both boys and girls are only allowed to tie a piece of cloth on their heads. The outer garment is also a plain robe, which is quite convenient.

There were four plates and a bowl on the plate, containing buns, steamed buns, poached eggs, pickles and porridge respectively.

Let alone corruption, even the normal market price is not acceptable. If you buy vegetables in large quantities for us, you must get a discount. A few days ago, I heard that someone who bought vegetables negotiated a low discount and was scolded by the dean. "

Chen He sighed and said, "Go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow. Especially Yuehua, you'd better go early tomorrow. The class teacher said he will punish you."

Xiao Yuehua then asked, "What if I don't like pickles?"

Zhang Xin sighed and said with a look of dismay, "I don't like pickles either, but our Yuzhou department has a rule that you are not allowed to be picky about food, so they do it on purpose. This is what our ancestors said, that we need a balanced diet."

Xiao Yuehua gritted her teeth and said viciously in her heart, "When Daddy grows a beard, I will pluck it out completely."

"By the way, what does a ticket mean?"

"If you want to eat delicious food, you have to exchange your tickets in advance. You can get one meal for free. For example, if you want to eat delicious food at noon, you have to exchange your tickets later. You can only exchange for food at noon. After all, the good things here are really good, and we can't afford to waste them."
