Chapter 223: The Academy Cafeteria

The Royal Academy has now been open for two months, and European experts and scholars have been coming to Da Zhou for half a year.

During this period, although these European scholars made a lot of jokes because of the problems of language and customs.

But as time passed, these scholars not only became able to speak simple Chinese, but also understood some of the customs of the Great Zhou.

If before, because of the language and living customs, these experts and scholars from afar were a little out of place here, now they have fallen in love with this country.

This is not only because the Great Zhou are more civilized than Europe in terms of humanities, not only because of the high salaries they get, but also because they can wear fine silk and porcelain every day, and they can drink tea that European aristocrats cannot drink.

What's more, for fear of wronging these experts and scholars, Zhang Lingyang specially ordered two chefs to come here to cook good meals for these experts and scholars.

Experts and scholars who have long been accustomed to eating dark cuisine, when they taste the food of the Great Zhou, where do they still feel homesick?

By now, the average weight of these people has increased by five pounds.

Just like Dr. Kanger, who was originally a little thin, is now full of red light, and he must be the first to rush to the cafeteria every day when it is time to open the meal.

Other scholars were not far behind, as if they were afraid that they would eat less than two bites when they were late.

In fact, the cafeteria prepares a lot of food every day, but it can't stand the nonsense of these people from the dark cuisine realm.

At first, the two chefs in the cafeteria thought that these Xiyi people had a lot of food, so they made more meals the next day.

But the next day, the food was wiped out again.

On the third day, too.

……

It wasn't until the fifth day that the two chefs sensed something was wrong.

Because, after several days of eating and drinking, these Xiyi people have somewhat accumulated food.

The two chefs looked at it, and this was worth it?

So, on the sixth day, they began to reduce the amount of food they provided, and this was the time to get better.

Even so, now these experts and scholars from Europe are all full of red faces.

Today, again.

After the afternoon class, as soon as he heard the bell outside, Kang Er didn't even care about the books on the desk, and hurried into the cafeteria.

"Lee, what's the meal tonight?" Kang Er was a linguistic genius, and was able to communicate with people in Chinese when other scholars had just learned a few simple words such as "hello" and "have you eaten".

"Pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli!" Chef Lao Li poured the cooked food in the pot into a large basin, clapped his hands, took out the cigarette stick pinned to his waist, put some tobacco leaves on it, lit it, took a deep breath, and replied.

"Really?" When he heard that tonight's meal was stewed vermicelli with pork and cabbage, Kang'er's eyes were full of surprise. Asked again about the aroma of the food coming from the back kitchen, Kang Er couldn't help but swallow.

God knows, since coming to Da Zhou, Kang'er's favorite dish is stewed vermicelli with pork and cabbage.

Of course, Kang Er also likes other meals, but his favorite is the stewed vermicelli with pork and cabbage.

Sometimes, Kang couldn't help but wonder what he had eaten in those years in Europe.

Pig food?

In Kang's mind, the food he had eaten in Europe before was indeed no different from pig food.

Well!

It's pig food!

"Li, give me a bowl first, and then take two steamed buns!" Smelling the aroma wafting from the back kitchen, Kang Er swallowed his saliva again and said.

"No way!" Chef Lao Li shook his head and pinned the cigarette stick back to his waist again, "It's not befitting like this, let the dean know, it's time to scold me again!" ”

"Isn't there no one coming now?" "Besides, it's less than a quarter of an hour before the meal starts, and no one will say anything back even if it's served." ”

couldn't help but look at Kang Er's pleading eyes, chef Lao Li nodded, and shouted to the apprentice in the back kitchen: "Xiao Sun, give Kang Er a bowl of dishes, and bring two steamed buns." ”

"Okay, master!"

Xiao Sun, an apprentice who was busy in the back kitchen, heard the master's shout, answered, and took a small blue and white porcelain basin from the board next to him, filled a pot full of pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli, and took two steamed buns, and came to the front with a porcelain basin in his hand.

"Thank you, Sun!" Kang Er thanked Xiao Sun, took the food and held it to the table next to him, and devoured it......

When Zhang Lingyang left the palace, the time was already past noon, and he walked around the capital, and when he came to the Royal Academy, it was already evening.

At this time, the canteen was about to open, and Zhang Lingyang, who had been running for most of the day, was already hungry with his chest on his back, so he consciously ran to the canteen.

The cafeteria, located on the south side of the Royal Academy, is a special dining hall for faculty and staff, and is not open to the students of the Academy.

Of course, if you have money, you can also come here to eat.

But the price is more expensive.

Those poor disciples can't afford to eat at all on weekdays.

Of course, at the end of each month, these Royal Academy students will grit their teeth and eat a meal when they get paid to work outside.

At this time, Zhang Lingyang walked into the cafeteria and saw a European scholar eating and drinking there, and Zhang Lingyang felt that his stomach was even more hungry.

"Master, bring me a bowl of pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli too!" Zhang Lingyang came to the door of the back kitchen and said to Lao Li.

"Go while it's cool!" Lao Li squinted at Zhang Lingyang and said, "You're not a student of the academy, are you?" ”

"How do you know I'm not a student at the Academy?" Zhang Lingyang said with a light smile.

"Hey! I don't know? Lao Li took a puff of dry tobacco and said, "Who in the college doesn't know that this is a faculty cafeteria, which is not open to students."

Besides, looking at the age of your baby, she is also in her early twenties, and the oldest student in the academy is only eighteen years old. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang was slightly unmoved.

Zhang Lingyang was not angry, but it did not mean that Xiaofuzi and Han Xiao behind him did not move.

"Hey! I said you old man......" Han Xiao was about to step forward and scold Lao Li for a few words, but was signaled by Zhang Lingyang in front of him and stopped the words that came to his mouth.

"Uncle, look, I'll give out the money, this will be fine!" Zhang Lingyang didn't know that there was such a rule in the academy, and squinted at Xiao Fuzi.

Xiao Fuzi obediently took out a piece of broken silver and sent it to Lao Li.

"That's pretty much it!" Lao Li didn't look at it, so he stuffed the silver into his pocket, got up and said to Xiao Sun, the apprentice in the back kitchen, "Xiao Sun, three more bowls!" ”

"Okay, master!"
