Chapter 16: Boxed lunches sold on trains (2 / 2)



"Okay." Many people responded.

Seeing that most people agreed and others nodded in agreement, Xu Zhixin could only nod and follow suit.

Afterwards everyone took out the Little Red Book, which was the collection of quotations from great men. Seeing this, Xu Zhixin thought that it was a good thing that the Little Red Book was now a must-read for intellectuals, and the original owner also had it. When she collected the original owner's things, she put them into the space and could take them out. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if everyone else could take them out but she couldn't.

In her mind, Xu Zhixin let the space move the original owner's Little Red Book into the canvas bag, and then took out the Little Red Book from the canvas bag. The female educated youth who had previously proposed the quotations of great men mentioned a sentence, and after everyone quickly found it, she led everyone to recite it along with that sentence.

In this way, I spent the whole morning reading the great man's quotations, learning his spirit, and reviewing his instructions.

At noon, it was time for lunch. A flight attendant pushed a cart with lunch boxes and sold them. The vegetarian meal was 20 cents per portion, and the meat meal was 30 cents per portion.

Although Xu Zhixin had a lunch box in her bag, which contained steamed dumplings she had taken out of the space and two meat buns, Xu Zhixin saw the attendant pushing the lunch boxes and selling them, and the price sounded not expensive, so she wanted to try what the lunch boxes on the train tasted like.

"Give me a lunch box of fried pork and cucumber. It's 30 cents, right? How much food coupons do you need? Half a pound of food coupons will be enough, right?" Xu Zhixin said to the flight attendant.

I just heard the flight attendant say that the lunch boxes have both meat and vegetarian options. The meat options include stir-fried pork with green peppers, braised pork, barbecued pork, fried tofu and cabbage, and stir-fried pork with cucumber. The vegetarian options include stir-fried cabbage, scrambled tomatoes and eggs, and stir-fried potatoes. Among them, the one she wants to eat the most is the stir-fried pork with cucumber.

"Yes, it's thirty cents, no ticket required. The boxed lunches on the train don't require a ticket." The attendant said with a smile.

"The lunch boxes on the train don't require a ticket. This is great." An educated youth shouted happily.

Xu Zhixin was also happy that the lunch boxes on the train did not require a ticket. Xu Zhixin took out three cents and handed it to the conductor, who immediately gave her the fried pork and cucumber she had ordered.

Several educated youth on the train who did not bring any food paid for boxed lunches.

Xu Zhixin found that there were a lot of dishes in the lunch box, about one third of it.

Xu Zhixin tasted it and found it acceptable, so she started eating it with relish.

"The lunch boxes on this train are really a good deal. You only need 30 cents to get a braised pork lunch box. The meat is just a little less than in the restaurant, but you don't need a ticket. It's more cost-effective than eating in a restaurant." Zhu Yong ordered a braised pork lunch box and said as he ate.

The others nodded. Although the braised pork in the restaurant was also 30 cents, you had to have a ticket to buy it, and it didn't come with rice. The braised pork lunch box on the train didn't have as much meat as the one in the restaurant, but it came with rice and didn't require a ticket. Wasn't it more cost-effective than the restaurant?

Seeing that the braised pork in Zhu Yong's box was delicious, Xu Zhixin thought she might as well order a braised pork lunch box for dinner.

As for the steamed dumplings in your lunch box, you can eat them tomorrow. It's spring now and the weather isn't hot yet. They can be kept overnight and won't go bad. What's more, you have your own space, so if you're afraid they'll go bad, you can quietly put them into the space and then let the space take them out tomorrow and put them in a canvas bag.
