Chapter 280: Extra Meal



"Eat quickly. You can come back for more after you finish. Today's meat buns are delicious. You can have a few more."

Wang Min told Xiao Yuehua that she came from an ordinary family, but she was lucky in the past year. Whenever she came across something good that she liked, she would try to eat as much as possible.

Xiao Yuehua pretended to be sick and didn't go to evening self-study yesterday. In order to appear more natural, she didn't eat either. Instead, she secretly ate some snacks in the dormitory. Now she has a good appetite.

Xiao Yuehua ate a few bites of the eggs, drank some porridge to smooth her throat, and said, "The eggs taste pretty good. A lot of spices were used."

Zhang Xin said proudly: "This is also the credit of our Yuzhou department. Chang'an spices are very cheap now. The spices in our college were donated by a senior brother from the Haishang School. The senior brother from the Haishang School said that we can put them wherever we want as long as they are not wasted."

Xiao Yuehua had met that senior brother from the maritime business community a few days ago. At that time, Dad had praised him for his cleverness, saying that donating some spices to the academy would immediately increase his fame. At least many merchants from the Yuzhou department would purchase goods from him.

As for the production of spices from the South China Sea, even if they are shipped back by sea as much as possible, they may not be able to make money without good sales. After all, not only do they need to pay for shipping, but Lingnan also has to levy taxes.

School starts after the Lantern Festival every year, and the holiday is on the fifth day of June. The second quarter of school starts after the 15th day of July, and the holiday is on Laba Festival.

Liu Hui advised, "Lunch is still more than two hours away. Why don't you go get some more food? Is the food not to your liking?"

Besides, can’t you make friends?

After another ten pages there are steamed dishes, after another ten pages there are stews, and the last ten pages are soups.

The flashily dressed girl's tone was full of sarcasm. Xiao Yuehua was too lazy to pay attention to her. She looked at the big bill in her hand and couldn't help but hesitate.

"Don't worry about it." Xiao Yuehua waved her hand capriciously and said, "Anyway, I have never experienced the feeling of being hungry. I heard that food tastes especially good when you are hungry, so I might as well give it a try."

"What dishes are there?"

"I'm not responsible for introducing it here. There's a menu next to it. Please come over and tell me the names of the dishes after you have looked at them."

Chen He advised, "There are no vegetables for breakfast today. After the first class, there will probably be only one fruit, which is not enough to fill you up. If you don't eat well now, you will be hungry sooner. You are not allowed to go back to the dormitory during the break, so you can't eat snacks even if you have them."

Xiao Yuehua couldn't help but sigh that she was a poor person. If the money from Hong Kong could be cashed out, she would naturally have nothing to fear. But obviously that was impossible. She couldn't afford the hardship with the little pocket money she had saved.

Zhang Xin nodded and said jokingly, "You are obviously from a wealthy family, but this is not a place where you can run rampant. You will definitely feel hungry today. You want to eat something delicious. If you have nothing to do, go and exchange your tickets first, so that we don't have to wait for you later."

Xiao Yuehua walked to the extra meal window, took out a large bill and said arrogantly, "I'll exchange the ticket."

Xiao Yuehua nodded and immediately stood up to exchange the ticket. The exchange window was where the food was served, and it was a special window for adding meals.

"You should eat more."

"The stuff is OK."

A little girl dressed up in fancy clothes beside him said with a smile: "The chefs in our canteen are all the best among the hundreds of craftsmen in Yuzhou. If they go to big restaurants in other places to make the same dishes, the price will be 30% higher. It is very cost-effective to order food in the canteen."

The college is under closed management. Once you come in, don't think about going out unless it's the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month or a major holiday. Of course, in order to respect personal habits, not only can you have extra meals in the college, there is also a grocery store, which mostly sells snacks.

After going back to hand in the dishes to the cleaning area with the girl in the dormitory, the five of them walked towards the classroom together.

There are also good ingredients in it, such as whale meat, various shrimps and crabs, bear paws and other good things. In short, there are all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. However, the good things are expensive. There are dishes that cost ten strings of coins, and dishes that cost a hundred or so coins are considered low-end goods.

Finally, Xiao Yuehua ordered three dishes that cost 100 wen each. The woman at the order counter looked at her after hearing the names of the dishes she announced, nodded and smiled, "It's not that extravagant."

Making friends and treating others is a must.

The menu is very thick, almost like a book, with only ten dishes on each page. There are no pictures, but there are very detailed text descriptions.

However, Xiao Yuehua still planned to have a meal. After all, this was her first day at school. Whether it was to celebrate her campus life or to commemorate her lost freedom, she should have a good meal.

Xiao Yuehua couldn't help but mutter: "Why are the things here so expensive?"

The woman inside looked at her and asked with a smile, "What would you like to eat?"

After the other four girls finished eating, they went to add some of their favorite foods. Even the shy Chen He asked for an egg and a meat bun. Only Xiao Yuehua did not ask for more after she finished eating.

The first page was for cold dishes, but it said they were not available in spring and winter. Xiao Yuehua flipped through ten pages in a row before stir-fried dishes appeared. The first one was twice-cooked pork, priced at thirty cents each.

The college's daily schedule is to get up at six in the morning, have breakfast at six-thirty, have morning reading at seven, attend the first class at eight, finish class and have lunch at eleven-forty-five, have the first class at two in the afternoon, have dinner at five-forty-five, study at six-thirty, return to the dormitory at eight-thirty, and lights must be turned off at nine-thirty.

Xiao Yuehua smiled and said, "But I'm not used to eating so much in the morning. If I get hungry later, I can just have a snack."

Xiao Yuehua lingered on the road, and finally went to the store to buy some snacks to share with everyone. The girls couldn't stand her, and Chen He even left first.

For Chen He, who was born in a poor family, cherishing every moment to read is the most important thing. Snacks and the like are not as important as studying.

When Xiao Yuehua entered the classroom, the bell for morning reading rang.

Chen Yu sat on the podium and squinted his eyes at the biscuit crumbs at the corner of Xiao Yuehua's mouth, then smiled and waved to Xiao Yuehua, saying, "Come over and introduce yourself to the classmates first."

Xiao Yuehua looked at the dozens of pairs of eyes staring at her in the classroom, and for a moment she was a little nervous. She encouraged herself secretly: I have traveled far and wide and seen the world, I can't be intimidated by these classmates.
