Chapter 24 The School Canteen
In addition to the traditional custom of steaming steamed buns, Lin Xiaoquan also plans to make a local specialty snack that he has loved since he was a child - fried fried dumplings.
When I talked to my roommates at night before, Yin E said that in the area of their hometown in the Central Plains, they called that kind of food as fried oil fruits. After listening to the description for a long time, Hua Zhen suddenly realized that they also have it in the north, called oil fruits.
While kneading the flour, Koizumi thought of a few lovely roommates, wondering how they were doing in their hometown now?
With something in mind and work on hand, time passed in the blink of an eye. No, it's lunch time again.
Koizumi packed up the various pastries and put them in the fresh-keeping warehouse. In the end, before leaving the Taoyuan space, I couldn't help but "steal" two. After tidying up, Koizumi planned to go to the dining hall for lunch as he had planned yesterday to "find out."
Back in the dormitory, leaving the pleasant climate of the Taoyuan space, Koizumi couldn't help but shiver, remembering that he was riding back a few days ago and had a headache from the wind, and put on a cute fleece and thickened beanie hat before going out.
Sure enough, after going out, Koizumi deeply understood the truth of "the head is cold and the heart is cold, and the feet are warm", and wearing a beanie hat dressed exclusively in winter is much more effective than the previous ordinary thin cap to keep out the cold.
Koizumi walked to the cafeteria in the cold wind and found that there were many people.
yes, there's no power supply anymore. Without electricity, students who used to stay at home in the past can't secretly "self-sufficient" food in the entire low-power electrical appliance in the dormitory, or the whole simpler, directly make a cup of hot instant noodles; Now it's freezing in the dormitory, there is no (hot food) to eat or (hot drinks) to drink, and when it comes to meals, they can only run out to "forage".
When queuing, Koizumi put his hand in his pocket and silently transferred the cash from Taoyuan Space, and she specially prepared a few pieces of 1 yuan and 5 yuan change.
However, when it was time for her to get in line, she was surprised to see the handwritten menu and price list posted in front of the window.
"Available today:
Set 1 (30 yuan) pork white radish + boiled lettuce + rice;
Set 2 (18 yuan) hot and sour shredded potatoes + boiled lettuce + rice. ”
The usual mouth-watering, hearty dishes, such as tamales, braised pork knuckles, chestnut roast chicken, boiled fish, mapo tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork, and capers and pork foam, are not visible at all.
Not only that, usually like a buffet, "a la carte", a meat and a vegetarian free match, plus rice, you can get it for about 10 yuan. Why is the price so much higher now?
Koizumi was a little overwhelmed.
She looked at the students in front of her, and the tray in her hand was obviously set one: a small lump of rice, at most about three taels, boiled lettuce only had a few lettuce leaves, and there were a few large pieces of white radish, but the meat was almost invisible, and she finally found a piece of meat, but it showed how good the chef's knife skills were, and the cut was extremely thin.
But looking at the classmates around him who were cooking, they didn't raise much objections, and they were obviously used to it.
When it was Koizumi's turn to line up, she didn't want to spend money on a set meal, but it was inconvenient for so many people around to look at it, so she just turned around and left. In the end, Koizumi gritted his teeth and bought the cheap package two.
There was not a single piece of meat on the plate I got in my hand, except for the same boiled lettuce and rice as the set meal, and the rest of the sour and hot shredded potatoes, once again showing the chef's knife skills, cut extremely finely.
Koizumi silently ate the small meal in a few bites in the corner, not bothering to taste the taste carefully, quite a feeling of "not knowing the taste of food".
When Koizumi left the dining hall after eating, she found a handwritten notice at the door.
