Chapter 25: The Taste of Fried Chicken
Zeppelin said that he would buy Christmas presents for everyone, but it was not until noon the next day, Christmas Day, that he sneakily stopped everyone before eating. also intercepted the little fat who wanted to go to the cafeteria to eat at the door of Class 6.
"Zeppelin, what are you doing mysteriously?" The principle of being a fat man is that the meal is bigger than the sky, and whoever stops him from eating, he will fight with whomever he wants.
"Go get my Christmas present for you!" Zeppelin said with a grin.
"I thought you were just talking about it yesterday." Qian Wenwen quipped.
"When did I spare a zeppelin? Besides, you have given all the general Christmas gifts, and even the greeting card was sent away by Yuan Shanshan. So, I had to find another way. ”
Everyone followed Zeppelin's sneaky departure from the flow of diners, through the garden path that was not usually walked, to a row of iron fences at the back of the school.
Lin Zhiyi followed Zeppelin with his waist bent, always feeling a little obscene. The chubby stomach cried out with hunger, "Zeppelin, if you make me miss lunch, I won't let you go." ”
"Don't worry, you won't die young."
Qian Wenwen and Yuan Shanshan followed behind the boy with peace of mind, full of anticipation for the gift of the second-year teenager Zeppelin.
"What about gifts?" Everyone reached the end of the back of the school, which was blocked by an iron fence. "There's nothing here!" Chubby complained in disappointment.
Zeppelin took out his phone and dialed a number he had recently called, "Hey, where are you?" I said I would arrive at 12 o'clock. ”
"Hurry up, I've paid double the cost of running errands!"
The other party hung up the phone impatiently.
"Zeppelin, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?" Lin Zhiyi asked, there was still a bento cooked by Aunt Deng in his desk, and today was his favorite enoki mushroom fat beef roll.
Just when everyone was losing confidence in Zeppelin, a delivery boy wearing a blue and white uniform with a white lowercase letter E in the middle rode an electric car and braked sharply outside the fence.
He laboriously stuffed two large boxes of paper pails and a few Cokes into the iron bar.
"Your takeaway!"
Zeppelin took the two boxes of paper buckets, and before he could open them, Chubby could already smell the aroma of fried chicken.
"KFC!" He said excitedly.
"That's right. Haha, this is the Christmas gift that Uncle Ben prepared for you, two KFC family buckets! ”
"Wow!" Qian Wenwen also rubbed her hands happily, although she knew that fried food was not friendly to weight, but who in the world could resist the temptation of KFC fried chicken.
Zeppelin gave her the largest piece of original chicken.
Chubby unceremoniously moved his hand on his own.
Lin Zhiyi and Yuan Shanshan stayed in place.
Yuan Shanshan had never eaten KFC, and she had only heard from her brother that his parents took him to a fried chicken restaurant on his birthday. The fried chicken was described as delicious by her brother. Gluttonous, she secretly tried to fry two chicken thighs for herself and Yuan Eucalyptus at home behind her grandmother's back, and the taste was not good, but because of the waste of oil, she was taught a long time by her grandmother.
She just wanted to speak, but Lin Zhiyi said, "I never eat this kind of junk food." ”
One sentence made the atmosphere extremely awkward.
The smell of fried chicken had rushed to his nostrils, and he tried his best to control the saliva that kept pouring out.
"What? You haven't even eaten KFC! Chubby said with an incredulous expression, his mouth already stuffed with chicken.
"Hmm. I mean, I don't eat junk food. ”
While Lin Zhiyi opened his mouth to speak, the little fat eye quickly grabbed a chicken wing and stuffed it into his mouth.
The defenseless Lin Zhiyi tasted the first bite of fried chicken in his life, and before he could bite his mouth, the fragrance spread out in his mouth, and the crispy skin wrapped in flour made a beautiful music sound when it was bitten.
"Wow, that's so fragrant." Lin Zhi couldn't help but sigh.
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Lin Zhiyi, who realized that his image had been ruined, hurriedly wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth, but his hand couldn't help but reach for the fried chicken bucket and began to eat the second piece.
"Yuan Shanshan, why are you stunned, come and eat." Half a bucket of fried chicken has gone, and Xiaopang noticed Yuan Shanshan, who was still staying aside, "If you don't eat it, it will be gone." ”
Yuan Shanshan timidly took a piece of bread that no one touched inside, and took a bite of it, which was fragrant. It's much tastier than the one my grandmother bought from the market.
"What's so good about bread, eat meat." Xiaopang took the last piece of chicken wings in the bucket to Yuan Shanshan, and opened the other bucket himself.
Yuan Shanshan held the chicken wings in both hands and took a bite for a long time. "Wow, that's what my brother's birthday tastes like." The tender chicken is fried at high temperature to lock in the aroma, and with just the right amount of paprika, you can bite into it and leave it fragrant.
Yuan Shanshan took the initiative to take another piece of original chicken. There is more chicken on top, and although there is a little less juice, it is difficult to describe the feeling of satisfying both the taste buds and the stomach when you bite down the chicken with the tender skin.
"Science has shown that because fried chicken is a high-fat food, the brain releases a lot of manpolyphenols, a hormone that makes people feel good when they eat it. That's what I bring to you for Christmas – Joy! Zeppelin raised the fried chicken in his hand and proclaimed.
Hearing the word high-fat, Qian Wenwen immediately stopped wanting to take another piece, she had already eaten a corn, two chicken wings and a piece of plain chicken today, which had greatly exceeded the usual fat intake, and the guilt arose, thus giving birth to the fear of gaining weight!
She felt a chill run down her back, "I'm full." ”
Everyone looked at her and stopped what they were doing.
"Keep eating." Qian Wenwen opened her eyes wide and continued, "Are boys also afraid of fat? Yuan Shanshan, you are so thin, you should eat more. ”
Chubby put down the chicken head and shook his head frantically. He sent her to her knees.
"What's wrong with you? Isn't it tasty? ”
Qian Wenwen was puzzled, but Zeppelin gave her a frantic look.
"Eat! Eat! Just know how to eat! ”
Behind her, the reprimanding voice of the head teacher, Mr. Wang, came, and she was so frightened that she hid behind Lin Zhiyi.
I saw that Teacher Wang was angry, stared at these five people with a serious face, and reprimanded, "I don't like the food in the cafeteria, isn't the school allowed you to bring your own lunches?" I also order takeout this way! What the Principal Said at the Year Assembly ”
"No takeout!" Mr. Wang emphasized these five words.
"What does forbidden mean, I don't need to teach you any more. Lin Zhiyi, you are the squad leader! Why do you still take the lead in violating school rules! Let your parents call me! ”
"Isn't it just ordering takeout? As for it. Zeppelin said disdainfully.
"What kind of attitude do you have, you have violated school discipline and school rules and are so arrogant, let your parents come to my office tomorrow."
"I know it's called a parent." Zeppelin complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to mutter.
"Teacher Wang, it's none of their business, it's actually what I want to eat." Yuan Shanshan took the initiative to step forward and take responsibility.
Teacher Wang didn't want to worry too much about this extremely poor student, but she took the initiative and could only educate together, "When can't you eat if you want to, do you have to eat in school?" ”
"I haven't eaten fried chicken. Qi said that today is Christmas, please eat fried chicken. ”
Yuan Shanshan lowered his head and said aggrievedly, tears seemed to be able to burst out of his eyes in a second.
When Mr. Wang heard this, his heart softened. Thinking that his children are as old as Yuan Shanshan, but they have no worries about food and clothing at home, and they have tasted all the world's food at a young age. However, the thin little girl in front of her had never even eaten fried chicken.
In this way, eating fried chicken at school is not too much, "I don't want to take this as an example." Finish your meal and don't let anyone see it. With that, he walked over as if nothing had happened.
"Teacher Wang, do you still need to call parents?" Zeppelin said deliberately loudly.
"Don't get an inch!" Teacher Wang didn't look back, just left this sentence.
escaped the catastrophe, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wow, it's okay. Keep eating. Yuan Shanshan said with a smile. She is glad that she can help everyone.
However, the atmosphere of joy just now was washed away by Yuan Shanshan's words. Everyone realized that this was something that they had become accustomed to, but Yuan Shanshan had eaten it for the first time, not because of Lin Zhiyi's hypocrisy, but because of poverty.
Xiaopang looked at the few pieces of fried chicken left in the last bucket, and then looked at Yuan Shanshan with big eyes and an innocent face, and said, "Eh, my mood has been ruined by your homeroom teacher, I can't eat it, I don't eat it." ”
Needless to say, the others also understood Chubby's intentions. They all tweeted, "I can't eat it." ”
Zeppelin said, "There are a few pieces left, you can take them and eat them." I saw you ate the least just now. ”
"yes. I already feel the flesh growing on my belly. It's going to take a few laps. ”
"I still haven't finished my lunch."
Everyone found their own reasons to walk away as they spoke, leaving the last few pieces of fried chicken for Yuan Shanshan.
Yuan Shanshan looked at the few pieces of fried chicken in the bucket and thought of his sister. She carefully wrapped the fried chicken in a bucket of paper and wrapped it in a plastic bag for takeout. When no one is looking, put the fried chicken in your school bag.
In the evening, I finished the work of the food stall early and took out the fried chicken before my sister went to bed.
Looking at the fried chicken that was already cold, Yuan Eucalyptus's face was filled with the joy that only had during the New Year, "Sister, can I eat it on my birthday?" ”
"Fool, you only had your birthday this year, and you will have to wait a year next time. This one will be broken after a year. ”
"Hmm." When Yuan Eucalyptus heard her sister say this, she reluctantly ate it, "It's delicious." It turns out that my younger brother can eat such delicious things every year on his birthday. ”
"Well, when my sister is rich, my sister will take you to eat on your birthday every year."
"Hmm!" Yuan Yu nodded happily while eating.
