It's finally time for the official dinner.

Yilan and Xiaowen went out early in the morning, and when she arrived in the kitchen, she and the other two chef classmates were busy. After the dishes are heated, they are handed over to the person who decorates the venue.

The original business volume of the kitchen is not large, and the catering machine can cope with the general grade of the model, but now such a large number and variety, the catering machine is not powerful, poor Xiaowen them, personally go into battle to serve dishes, back and forth between the kitchen and the restaurant more than a dozen times. Yilan felt that she was not tired that day, but she was so tired that Xiaowen and them.

After being busy for most of the day, I was finally ready at half past three in the afternoon. A dozen or so people breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the sidelines, and took a break while everyone hadn't arrived. Starting at four o'clock, the students arrived one after another, looking at the dazzling array of food on the table, one by one amazed.

"We grew all this? I can't believe it. A classmate said incredulously.

"Yes, if I had such a meal when I first entered school, I wouldn't have lost the meaning of studying agriculture, and I wasted seven years in vain." Another classmate lamented.

"It's time, it's time, you still have a lifetime to engage in agriculture." The classmate next to him teased.

Ilan and the other two chefs looked at each other and smiled, each smile full of pride and satisfaction.

The teacher who was invited to speak said:

"Students, today we will enjoy a sumptuous dinner. While tasting the delicious food, please don't forget to be impressed by yourself. All the ingredients here come from your hands, from your seven years of hard work. Remember the saying: where there is effort, there is a reward. Today is the time when your seven years of hard work will be rewarded. ”

"And then, many of you will be engaged in agriculture, and you will either provide the ingredients or process the ingredients, and you may feel lonely and tired, and then imagine that the ingredients in your hands will be turned into food and sent to your relatives, friends and strangers, most of whom you will never meet in your lifetime, but you will try to keep them from starvation, and give them warmth, deliciousness and energy. This is the supreme reward for your efforts. ”

The teacher's impassioned words ignited everyone's passion, and everyone applauded desperately.

Xiaowen whispered on the side: "Am I so noble?" ”

Ilan almost laughed, this teacher can really say that she thinks that she may be the Ultraman of the universe who has come to save all mankind.

The teacher saw that the atmosphere was almost over. Le Hehe smiled, and said with a change of words: "For this dinner, many students volunteered to sacrifice their time and prepare hard for everyone. We asked them all to say a few words, and everyone applauded and thanked them. ”

More than a dozen people looked at each other. I didn't expect there to be this link, and no one prepared a speech. The venue layout team and the ingredient scheduling team looked at the three chefs first, meaning to let the chef speak first. The two chefs looked at Ilan again, and the head chef spoke first.

Yilan was stunned for a moment, everyone was waiting, this occasion was too cowardly and ungenerous, she stood in the place where the teacher gave her a drum in her heart.

She subconsciously looked around, and her classmates were staring at her with blazing eyes, and she hadn't thought about what to say in her heart, and she couldn't organize anything in the time she had just taken a few steps. I had to take a slight breath, smiled politely first, and said whatever I could:

"I didn't volunteer to cook, it was Daming who encouraged my classmates to push me up."

Qi Daming shouted strangely in the crowd: "Queen, don't sue." Everyone burst into laughter.

Yilan settled down and said with a smile: "I've been very busy and a little tired these days, but I'm very happy." I discussed with other students who volunteered, and I was overwhelmed and sometimes had small arguments. I also brought all my classmates around me to help. Some of them are as good as ever, and some of them will complain before they go to work. But we feel more familiar and closer. ”

"We finally made a meal for ourselves and friends and I couldn't be happier. Some of my classmates are not very familiar to me, and they may just nod and smile when they meet. I didn't expect to chase them these days and ask, 'What the hell do you want to eat?' I won't do what you say. It's a shame. But I'll take it out, I hope you like it, thank you. ”

Everyone applauded. Elan felt that no amount of hard work was worth it.

After the other students came forward one by one to finish speaking, everyone started eating. Ilan was immediately glad that she hadn't had the opportunity to make her two bitter drinks, as everyone had a drink to thank the three chefs.

She was moved at first to take a big sip in return, and then took a small sip. Later, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I sneaked back to the kitchen with two other classmates.

A classmate lamented and said, "I'm dying of it, I've drunk too much." ”

Another said: "I'm starving to death, I don't even have a chance to eat." ”

Ilan searched around the kitchen and said, "It's all moved out, and the drinks are still there." ”

The two of them shouted in unison, "Don't take it." ”

"Don't let me see it."

Ilan smiled bitterly, she was hungry too.

After a while, the three of them went back to the restaurant. Ilan went straight to the table where the snacks were placed, and she had to pad her stomach first. From time to time, someone still comes to talk to her, and by the way, take another drink.

Yilan was miserable, and looked around for a while, she wanted to find an acquaintance to block her and give her a chance to eat two bites, so she came to thank her for drinking one after another, about three hundred people, and a lot of people didn't come.

Over the years, Ilan has gradually learned some of the rules and etiquette of banquets, and if the chef or other staff who are running the banquet show up, everyone attending the banquet will toast a drink and say two words of thanks, just like a guest wants to thank the host's family. Back then, Ryan and his companions invited her to drink bitter water one by one, half teasing, and half according to the rules.

Elan seems to understand some of the mysteries behind the prevalence of bitter drinks. If you hold a banquet, everyone comes to drink it, and you can't drink it. The guest drinks half a cup to thank him, and the host only touches his lips slightly is disrespectful to the guest, so he simply provides bitter drinks, and the guest will not drink a lot in one sip, and the host can also drink less. Ilan thought happily, and it seemed that her bitter drink wasn't necessarily left out in the cold.

Her eyes lit up, and she saw Xiaowen coming over to get food, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Xiaowen......"

Before she could get to the point, Xiaowen said with a bitter face: "Queen, you're welcome, don't give me a drink." ”

Ilan was stunned for a moment, and said happily: "I want to say that too." Let's get some food and find a corner to eat, you and I. People think we have something to say, and maybe we'll come less. ”

"Good idea, it really made me miserable." Xiaowen said as he picked up food, "Queen." Your craftsmanship is so good. ”

Ilan politely said a few words of modesty, and the two of them took the plate and stepped aside. Before they started eating, someone came over again, Yilan and Xiaowen held a plate in one hand and raised a glass in the other to say a few polite words.

After two or three rounds. Xiaowen said: "Queen, I'd better separate from you, with you, I'll drink more." He smiled apologetically, gave him a look that he couldn't help himself, and in a few clicks he went somewhere else.

Yilan met a classmate who planted and ranched, everyone is usually more familiar, she explained a few words and took a sip a little, and people just sympathetically expressed their understanding. When I met students who processed agricultural products, I had not been together in the past three years. People came over to talk very enthusiastically, and poured a large glass of drink to show her the bottom of the cup, she really couldn't be perfunctory, she always had to drink with her, the amount was too small to be like words. There was no way, in the second half, she took an opportunity to go to the kitchen with a plate, and only then did she have the opportunity to put a few pieces of snacks, and she drank too many drinks, she couldn't even eat snacks.

Before leaving, Duanmu walked over and asked, "When are you leaving?" ”

"Duanmu. You've talked a lot and eaten a lot today. Ilan joked, "I've seen you several times, you've been eating and chatting with your classmates." I was expecting you to come over and block it for me. ”

Duanmu smiled faintly: "I can't stop it." You have to drink what you deserve. ”

Ilan was speechless.

The two drove all the way and discussed the itinerary all the way.

"Let's go the day after tomorrow and say goodbye to everyone tomorrow." Duanmu said.

"Okay, you can arrange it." Huo Sibei is still working in the mecha manufacturing factory, and he will not be able to return to school for at least half a month, and it doesn't matter when Ilan goes back.

"Is what I made okay today? I'm afraid people don't like it. Ilan asked with some trepidation.

"It's delicious."

Yilan looked at Duanmu suspiciously. His flat tone didn't look like it was delicious. "You comfort me, won't you?"

Duanmu smiled: "The taste is really good, I have eaten a lot, and it will be even better if it is fresh." ”

Hearing this, Yilan looked at Duanmu several times, she was also a foodie, she nodded and said: "I think so too, but there are too many people, it's too late, so I have to prepare the cold storage in advance." Then he sighed, "I didn't even get a chance to taste two bites of my own food today." ”

"There's nutrients in the car." Duanmu flipped through it a few times and took out two nutrients and handed them over.

"One is enough." Ilan smiled and naturally took it. She doesn't have to worry about following Duanmu, everything is in order, they used to go out to investigate together, and the nutrients in the car have not been cut off.

After a short drive, two cars chased after me.

"Da Ming and Xiao Wen are here." Yilan said with a smile, this pair of living treasures can fight wherever they go.

The two cars chased and dodged around Duanmu's car, and Duanmu sat very smoothly, allowing the car to drive autonomously without being affected at all. After a while, it is estimated that Da Ming was chased fiercely, and as soon as he accelerated his speed, he flew away, and Xiaowen hurriedly chased after him.

Yilan looked at Zhile and suddenly sighed: "Many people came to talk to me today, some of them I don't remember their names, but they have been classmates for seven years, and they will probably never see each other again after graduation." ”

Duanmu was silent, and only said after a while: "Life is like this. ”

Yilan took a breath and said, "Duanmu, you are too calm, it's okay to sigh a few words." ”

"I'm telling the truth. It's normal to meet and then separate. If everyone you meet doesn't leave, it won't be long before you feel like it's too densely populated. ”

Yilan chuckled: "Duanmu, you are so humorous, I never knew you would tell cold jokes." ”

Duanmu said lightly: "The reason why the word reunion exists is because there is a parting. ”

Yilan stared at Duanmu with his mouth half-open: "You're too ...... It was profound. ”

She sat upright, staring at the sea outside the window, her heart gradually became sad, she and Huo Sibei parted soon, she didn't want to hear the word reunion, because she didn't want to part at all.

"Do you have any plans after graduation?" Duanmu changed the subject.

Yilan was stunned for a moment, Duanmu rarely asked about other people's affairs, but there was nothing bad to say. "I want to run a farmstead, big." Ilan smiled, "What about you?" ”

"I haven't figured it out yet, maybe like you, maybe I could go to graduate school." Duanmu didn't say any more.

They learn agriculture is nothing more than a few ways, either run their own farms and fishing farms, or do nutritional agents or agricultural product development, and then continue their studies to study in graduate schools, there are also some people, who are rare, and the future will be better, it is also possible to be the technical minister of the entire agricultural star, or the top nutritional formulator, as long as the successful launch of a nutritional agent is accepted by the government or the military, this life will not worry about eating and drinking.

According to Duanmu's student number ranking, it should be easy for him to get a recommendation from the school, and the entrance test of the graduate school must be easy for him, so it should not be difficult for him to go to the graduate school. Yilan didn't dare to think about it, her current student number is in section B, it is unlikely that she will be recommended by the school, and even if she has the ability to get into the exam by herself, she may not be able to afford to read, although there are many projects in the research institute that are paid, but she still has to bear the food, clothing, housing and transportation by herself, and Mosxing's farm can't always be left alone.

Ilan didn't want to mention this topic, and was tired and panicked.

She smiled and asked Duanmu what her classmates thought of dinner tonight, and the two chatted and returned to the fishing boat. Before going to bed, she boarded the sharing space and recorded today's dinner lively, and then she couldn't sleep in the shaking of the waves, in fact, she wanted to ask Huo Sibei what his plans were after graduation. Somehow, Huo Sibei didn't come to ask her about her plans, whether he was as entangled and unspeakable as she was. (To be continued.) )
