Seeing the two of them following them into the noodle shop not far away, one of the girls following them said, "They are going to eat noodle."
"Let's go eat powder too," then another girl said.
So the three people entered the rice noodle shop together, but they did not choose to sit at the same table as them, but chose another table not far from them to sit down.
After Xiang Jin entered the store, he asked the boss to give them a bowl of rice noodles each. Then the lady boss asked them what kind of fillings they were eating and how much was it.
He said that they had beef with peas, winter melon and pork ribs, and roasted pork with cowpeas, and their quantities were divided into one tael, two taels, and three taels. Then she pointed to the wall and said,
"The prices are here. What do you think you eat? How many taels does it cost?"
Then Xiang Jin and Yan Chen took a look at the prices on the wall and saw that peas and beef were the most expensive. One tael was one dollar and a half, two taels was two dollars, and three taels was two dollars and a half.
.
To be honest, the price was not high at all for the two of them. Then Xiang Jin glanced at the boss's chopping board and said, "You have four or five bowls of different sizes. What I want to ask about is
, how many do you have for one tael, two taels, or three taels?" Don't want them to choose another bowl if they don't choose enough.
Then the lady boss introduced them to which bowl corresponded to which amount, and then Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen, "How many taels do you eat?"
Yan Chen said, "Let's just have a couple."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, boss, please give each of us two taels of peas and beef rice noodles."
Three girls at the table next to me also told them to give each of them two ounces of the same rice noodles.
"Oh, okay, you guys sit down for a while, and we'll hot it for you right now," the landlady agreed, and hurriedly shouted to the boss who was already busy not far away, "Five bowls of peas and beef worth twenty taels."
Rice noodles.”
"I know," the boss replied while working on the stove.
After a while, Xiang Jin's rice noodles were served. Xiang Jin saw that the peas and beef were stewed with kelp. There wasn't much beef, only five or six pieces, but it was really big, almost as big as an adult.
The two thumbs put together are as big as each other. There are plenty of peas, and the kelp is also okay. It is in the shape of a diamond-shaped block, with seven or eight pieces.
Xiang Jin picked up a piece of kelp and put it into her mouth. Yes, it was very good and tasty. She picked up the vinegar on the side and poured it out. Unexpectedly, she poured it too hard and said, "It's over, it's over.
I will definitely be sore to death later!”
Upon seeing this, Yan Chen turned the bowls in front of them without saying a word, and said to Xiang Jin, "You will be sore too."
Yan Chen said, "It's okay, you eat first, and I'll ask the boss to change the soup for me."
"Oh, okay, shall I eat first?"
"Um!"
Yan Chen directly picked up the bowl and walked to the stove to talk to the proprietress about the situation. The proprietress immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. You go back and sit down. I'll change the soup for you later and bring it over."
.”
Yan Chen nodded, said "Thank you" and turned back directly. However, seeing Xiang Jin stop suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you eat?"
Xiang Jin said, "Wait for you to come together. What if I finish eating all at once and look at your mouth later?"
Yan Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Strong words!"
After a while, the boss brought the bowl to them again. Yan Chen directly handed the kelp in the bowl to Xiang Jin, and Xiang Jin asked, "You don't want to eat it?"
Yan Chen said, "I see you like it, I'll give it to you."
Xiang Jin felt a little embarrassed, and then put the beef from his bowl into his bowl, "The beef stew they have is pretty good, you can eat more."
Yan Chen said, "Okay, stop clamping and eat quickly."
"oh!"
So the two of them ate in silence.
However, this scene happened to be seen by several girls not far away. They all looked at each other with wide eyes. They were all surprised and felt that Yan Chen was really nice to Xiang Jin, and they seemed to do the same.
What should I do about the relatives of Yan Chen’s family?
Well, the way you eat is also very nice, unhurriedly, without making any noise. How do you say that? Oh, by the way, it is elegant!
Several girls glanced at them from time to time, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen pretended not to notice.
But after a while, a very interesting thing happened, that is, several girls finished the meal before the two of them, and then rushed to pay for them. Xiang Jin definitely believed that she was because of Yan Chen's
Light.
While they were arguing, Yan Chen stood up and handed a twenty-dollar bill to the landlady, pointing at himself and Xiang Jin, "It's for both of us."
"Oh, okay," the landlady was also in a dilemma. It was just a few dollars, and several people were fighting over it. She didn't accept this, and she didn't accept that. Now the young man paid by himself, so she hurriedly
He took it and then gave the change to Yan Chen.
Yan Chen collected the money and walked back directly. He picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip. Then he saw that Xiang Jin had finished the rice in the bowl and asked, "Are you ready? That's it."
Let’s go!”
Xiang Jin glanced into his bowl and said, "You don't want to eat?"
"No more eating!"
Xiang Jin nodded, then took out a piece of paper from the napkin box on the side. After wiping his mouth, he picked up the water glass in front of him and took a sip and said, "Oh, okay, then let's go.
.”
The two of them walked outside together. Xiang Jin said hello to the girls who had been stunned in the same place, but Yan Chen didn't even look at those girls from beginning to end.
Then Xiang Jin saw a look of loss on the faces of the girls, and then she secretly thought in her heart: Her heart was broken, alas, the falling flowers are really intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless.
In fact, she could probably understand the reasons for the disappointment of those girls. First, he didn't appreciate it if they offered to help him pay for the meal. He paid for it with her, but only paid for herself and Xiang Jin. Third, from the beginning
In the end, people simply treat them as if they don't exist.
"Ouch," however, Xiang Jin suddenly stumbled under her feet. Fortunately, Yan Chen caught her in time and prevented her from falling to the ground.
"Are your feet not sprained?" He frowned and stared at her and asked.
Xiang Jin shook his head, "No, oh, by the way, do you want to buy some other things and take them back to your dormitory? You can eat some when you go back to study in the evening. I think you will be hungry at night.
.”
Yan Chen shook his head, "I don't have the habit of eating snacks."
"Oh, okay," is really a good habit.
Then I heard Yan Chen say, "How about we buy a bowl or a lunch box or something, and eat directly in the teachers' cafeteria then?"
"Do you find it annoying to be followed to dinner?" Xiang Jin asked.
Yan Chen shook his head, "That's not the case. They eat theirs and I eat mine. No matter what my business is. I think eating in the school's teachers' cafeteria is cleaner and more hygienic than eating in restaurants outside.
After all, teachers are eating in the school’s teachers’ cafeteria, so they will definitely pay more attention to cleanliness.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's true, but will the school's teachers' cafeteria be open to our students?"
Yan Chen said, "Okay, then Director Zhao told me before that if I don't want to steam rice, I can go to the school's teachers' cafeteria to eat. It costs seventy or eighty yuan a month."
Xiang Jin was stunned, "So cheap?"
Yan Chen nodded, "Well, in the morning I usually eat steamed buns and rice porridge, which costs about seventy cents. At lunch, I usually eat two meat dishes and one vegetarian dish, which costs about two cents. In the evening, I usually eat noodles, which cost about fifty cents."
"
Xiang Jin said, "It's still okay. I think it won't be as greasy as what we eat outside." She was really afraid that she would become fat after eating outside for a long time, develop horizontally, and then stop growing.
Now that she is taller, to be honest, she still wishes she could grow taller.
"Well, it should be better than eating out."
Xiang Jin asked, "Are you sure it's okay? Or is it that Director Zhao has said hello to the cafeteria, but it's okay for you to eat there, but not for others?"
This needs to be confirmed, as it would be embarrassing if we don't let her go there to get food when the time comes.
Yan Chen said, "It's okay to confirm. The canteen is not from the school. It seems to be contracted by relatives of the principal's family. Others are the ones who make money. There is no reason to push the business outside."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Oh, that's good."
Then Yan Chen stared at her suspiciously and said, "How many years have you been here? You should know it very well, right?"
Xiang Jin said, "I usually don't pay attention to those things. Besides, I never cooked rice at school before. I always followed my cousin Yang Hui and others to eat with others outside. How could I know those things."
Yan Chen nodded, and then Xiang Jin pushed him to the supply and marketing cooperative, saying he was going to buy bowls and rice boxes.
So the two of them bought an enamel bowl, a stainless steel lunch box, a pair of chopsticks and a spoon, and then went back.
