Chapter 25: The Canteen Turmoil
Gu Chengyu and Wang Qikai came to the canteen together, and saw that most of the students who ate in the canteen were a bowl of white rice porridge and two white flour steamed buns, and there was a bowl of fried seasonal vegetables on the side.
If you want Gu Chengyu to eat in a private school like this, the master will send a small bamboo skewer and write "supply", as long as she shows the small skewer to the lady in the dining hall before every meal, she will give it a meal. Of course, after a long time, the cook will be clear about who is eating and who is buying food in a private school, after all, there are only about 50 people in a private school.
Just as he was about to take out the stick, Gu Chengyu remembered that Wang Qikai was not eating in the private school, so wouldn't there be no sign? I don't know if Wang Qikai knows that he has to take a sign for dinner, how can he be good if he doesn't have a sign at that time?
"Why did it stop? Hurry up and get in! I'm starving! Wang Qikai hurriedly pulled Gu Chengyu to the cook.
After thinking about it, he still endured it and didn't say anything, thinking that when the time came, he would have a meal and the two of them would eat it separately, but he was afraid that Wang Qikai would not be full.
"Auntie, give me one." Gu Chengyu came to the rice bucket, took out the skewer in his arms, and handed it to the cook.
That's right, don't doubt it, it's the rice bucket, and the white rice porridge here is served in a somewhat deep wooden barrel.
The cook glanced at the slip before she said with a smile: "You just came to Class C today?" Mr. Wen told me yesterday. Ouch! Xiao Erlang is so good-looking! It's just a little thin, you wait, the aunt will give you more. "In fact, there is not much white porridge left in the wooden barrel, and the ones that are scooped out on the top are all thinner, and those left below are of course dry goods.
After the cook finished speaking, she gave Gu Chengyu the driest porridge at the bottom of the pot, and also filled a full bowl. Then he scooped a spoonful of broad beans for Gu Chengyu, Gu Chengyu took a look at it, and found that there was still shredded meat in it? It seems that the food in this canteen is very good! Except for a vegetarian dish that is more monotonous.
"Thank you, auntie!" Gu Chengyu smiled at the cook and thanked her.
The cook hurriedly waved her hand and said no, and shouted how to be worthy of the reader's thanks? But there was a bigger smile on the dark face, and the gums could be seen with the open mouth.
"Auntie, call me quickly! I don't have a signature, can I make money? Wang Qikai was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, but he didn't have time to watch them thank him.
"You little fat man, don't you see I'm busy? You can give ten wen. The cook handed Gu Chengyu two white-flour steamed buns.
Gu Chengyu looked at Wang Qikai and counted out ten cents from the purse hanging from his waist and gave it to the cook, but when the cook scooped the porridge in the back, she was very casual, and hit a spoonful of noodles, which was a little worse than Gu Chengyu's full bowl.
In this way, Wang Qikai and Gu Chengyu took porridge and vegetables, found a seat casually, and sat down. During this period, Wang Qikai kept muttering about the eccentricity of the cook.
In fact, there are not many people in the canteen, and some students live in the town or are very close to the town, so they go back to eat like Wang Qikai; Some students went back after the meal was hot, and ate while reading a book.
Of course, most of these students are in Class A. Class A requires the master to take the exam, pass and have excellent grades to enter,; There are also those who are about to take the child exam, so they will be automatically promoted to Class A.
Gu Chengyu took a sip of porridge, took a white-flour steamed bun and bit it, but when he looked up, he found that Wang Qikai had bitten half of the steamed bun in a row, maybe he ate it a little fast, and he was a little choked.
It's no wonder that he can develop this body shape, and he has to chew and swallow slowly when eating, and if he swallows like this, can't he grow meat?
"Qi Kai, you eat slowly, eating too fast is a burden on the stomach."
"I'm used to it, I've been eating like this, I'm dizzy when I'm hungry, and if I don't eat quickly, I'll faint." Wang Qikai said nonchalantly.
Gu Chengyu listened to his words and carefully observed his face a few times, could it be low blood sugar? But seeing that he eats a lot, the food at home will not be bad, how can he have low blood sugar? Looking at his ruddy complexion, it doesn't look like low blood sugar, and there may be other reasons.
It's a pity that he has only read a few detailed explanations of medicinal materials now, and as for the medical book, he still flipped through one by the way, which recorded all the symptoms of common wind and cold, and this disease is estimated to depend on the doctor.
He and Wang Qikai are only familiar today, and they can't talk deeply, the Wang family will definitely ask the doctor to see it, maybe this will also involve the privacy of the back house, and it is inconvenient for him to say more.
"Hey~ Look, it's Ye Zhiqiu!" Wang Qikai pointed to the direction of the table separated by two tables, and whispered to Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu looked at Wang Qikai's hand, and saw that the other party was about seven or eight years old, not tall, and wearing an old cardigan robe. In front of him was the food he had brought, two nests of miscellaneous grains, and a piece of wild vegetable cake, and he was eating the hot water from the canteen at this time.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Some people! Obviously, the poor in the family can't eat enough, so they have to come to study, so that the children of the family can study, and I don't know how to stay in a private school? ”
Gu Chengyu looked for the sound and found that it was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy not far from Ye Zhiqiu, although he did not name him, but his eyes were looking at Ye Zhiqiu and said. I saw that Ye Zhiqiu, who was still eating just now, had stopped his chopsticks, his face was a little red, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this student was aimed at Ye Zhiqiu, and it was very likely that he was also a student in Class B, but Ye Zhiqiu was so squeezed by others, and he didn't see a single student say anything to help, on the contrary, at the side table next to him, some were still helping on the side, and some were just waiting to see the joke.
Gu Chengyu shook his head when he saw this, no matter what the situation of the Ye family was, it would not be the turn of an outsider to make irresponsible remarks. However, this Ye Zhiqiu is also too shy, no matter what, he will have to take the imperial examination in the future, and such a reputation will hinder his career in the future after all. Since ancient times, it has been said that literati are inferior to each other, and this is not true at all.
Seeing that Ye Zhiqiu was squeezed, he was a little at a loss, Gu Chengyu turned around and stopped looking, he was not a holy father. Besides, he didn't know the details inside, and he couldn't take it for granted that Ye Zhiqiu was the weaker party just because he only saw one side of the matter.
But compared to Gu Chengyu's calmness, Wang Qikai on the opposite side was obviously much more excited. "They are too much, who does Ye Zhiqiu rely on to provide for them, what does it matter to them? Didn't you see that Ye Zhiqiu was talented, so you excluded him? I have the ability to be admitted to Class A! ”
