Chapter Forty-Six: The Alien Canteen
"Who is it? who let you in?" said the mother-in-law.
Xiaofeng timidly stood up, raised his hand, and said, "Mother-in-law, yes...... It's me...... I'll bring you in!"
"You?!" asked the mother-in-law, glaring at him.
Xiaofeng hurriedly explained: "It's because, because there are some members of our team, someone said that there are ghosts here, and he was bitten, we are all worried, and we are afraid that we will be restless to live here in the future, so ...... So it's in!"
The mother-in-law asked, "What about the ghosts?"
Xiao Feng pointed to the strange flower in the corner of the wall, but did not dare to speak.
Ah Liang hurriedly explained: "Mother-in-law, don't be angry, it was this flower that attacked us, and we had no choice but to resist!"
Ah Ping also nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, mother-in-law, you see, I was bitten on the leg!
Ruda also ran up and said, "Yes, mother-in-law, it's me, I came in earlier and was bitten! Look, here it is!"
Mother-in-law Gongliang looked at their wounds, and secretly wondered in her heart: Strange, this man-eating grass was specially placed here by herself, and it was specially used to hunt rats at night.
But of course I know how powerful it can be.
The mother-in-law did not let these children in at night because she was afraid that they would not see this thing and would be frightened.
After all, this thing is strange and scary, and she worked hard to get it from southern Xinjiang.
But it's kind of weird that it can attack people and make these kids miserable?
Mother-in-law Gongliang was suspicious in her heart.
But despite thinking so, she pretended to be angry and said, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago? You can't come in at night! Okay, you all go back to sleep, and you can't run away at night in the future!"
A couple of little boys nodded.
Ah Tao asked, "Mother-in-law, what is this thing, is it a flower?"
Everyone is also very interested in this matter.
"Yes, it is a kind of flower, which originally grew in the southern Xinjiang area, which is very rare. It's called a man-eating flower, and it's said that when it grows up, it can eat people!" said the mother-in-law.
Everyone was scared and thought: Fortunately, the strain I encountered today is not very big.
The mother-in-law said, "I put it here just to catch mice, who would have thought that such a moth would come out tonight!"
Everyone giggled.
Ah Tao said: "Mother-in-law, take it away, I'll go find a kitten, this thing is weird and scary here." I'm afraid I'll scare my sister, their girls!"
Everyone nodded, thinking about what had just happened, and they all had palpitations.
The mother-in-law nodded and said, "Okay, after being tossed by you tonight, this flower is also a big injury, and it is estimated that it will take a year and a half to recover before it can continue to catch mice!"
Everyone was very happy to hear this, so they went back to sleep with peace of mind.
The next morning, before dawn, everyone was already up.
When everyone came to the cafeteria, they found that they had cleaned up inside, all the breakfast had been made, sorted into categories, packed, and waiting to be given to the students.
The children were still lazy, so they immediately divided into groups and sent food to the east and west.
After all, there are more than a thousand mouths waiting to eat.
After the meal was delivered, all the utensils were put away, washed and put away.
The next step is to follow the menu on the recipe and prepare the lunch meal. There was no respite at all.
After the ingredients were finally prepared, cleaned, processed, and arranged, it was almost noon.
Several of the children were so tired that they collapsed to the ground.
Xiaofeng urged everyone to meditate quickly, cultivate internal strength, and replenish physical strength. Because I'm going to deliver lunch later.
Finally, everyone practiced for a while, and their physical strength had just recovered, and lunch was ready.
Then it is a mechanical process that repeats the morning process, then the food is delivered, the dishes are collected, the dishes are washed, and the ingredients are prepared.
Or after they had just recovered their internal strength and physical strength, they were about to go to deliver dinner.
Several of them even had to rush to eat. I didn't even have time to stand on my feet.
After the dinner was delivered, everything was repeated again, and even the ingredients for tomorrow morning had to be prepared in time.
In this way, after a whole day, the fifteen people in the whole group were already tired and paralyzed on the ground.
I don't have the strength to move at all.
When everyone dragged their tired bodies and lay on the bed, Xiaofeng also told everyone that they must pay attention to cultivating internal strength and replenish their physical strength in time, otherwise, they will not have the strength to continue working tomorrow.
"What's going on, it's more tiring than in training camp!" Xiao Zheng complained.
"That's right, I'm glad we have a bed to sleep in, but the price of this bed is too heavy!"
Ah Yuan said: "Okay, okay, don't be wordy, pay attention to cultivation, and then sleep well, there are still things to do tomorrow!"
Everyone hummed and agreed.
Xiao Feng suddenly said, "Oh, no, no! absolutely not! There must be something missing!"
"Oh, Xiaofeng, why are you still thinking nonsense, why don't you hurry up and go to bed!" said Ruda.
Xiaofeng sat up and said, "No, I think we missed something!"
Ah Yuan said half-asleep: "Oh, team leader, what did you miss, we haven't been idle all day, it's impossible to miss anything, you go to sleep!"
Xiaofeng hesitated to lie down, and after a while, he sat up again and shouted loudly, "I know, I know what we missed!"
Everyone was noisy by the breeze and threw pillows over!
Xiaofeng was nervous, shook everyone up, and said, "Think about it, we have been busy all day, what have we missed?"
Ah Liang rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "What did we miss? We didn't miss anything! Deliver food, collect tableware, wash dishes, prepare ingredients again, deliver meals again, collect dishes again, wash dishes again, prepare ingredients again......
Xiaofeng hurriedly stopped him and said, "Okay, okay, we all know what you said!"
Luda yawned and said, "Xiaofeng, do you know what those rookies in the training camp say about us? They say we are a cooking squad!"
Do you hear me? We're all going to be cooks!"
When Xiao Feng heard this, he patted his thigh and said, "Yes, here's the problem, we are a cooking team, but we don't cook!"
"What?!" all the boys were scared awake and looked at Xiaofeng, thinking he was crazy.
"You still want us to cook, don't you?" asked Arryan with his mouth wide open.
"Oh, team leader, please don't be so cruel, we can't stand it!" Ah Yuan also said with a sad face.
Xiao Feng waved his hand again and again and said, "Oh, where do you want to go, I'm reminding you, have you ever thought about who makes these meals?"
"Cut, you don't need to ask, it must be the mother-in-law of Gongliang who did it!" Ah Tao said sleepily.
Xiaofeng affirmed: "Yes, they must have done it, but how many of them are there? Who are they? How did they do it?"
Everyone shook their heads after listening to Xiaofeng's question.
Xiaofeng immediately analyzed: "That's right, if you think about it, there are fifteen of us, division of labor and cooperation, just doing some helper things, we are already tired to death,
However, the most important thing in this canteen is cooking, and we haven't touched on this link at all!
You can imagine how much effort it takes to cook so many meals!
But have you ever seen anyone burning a fire?
Have you ever seen anyone cooking?
Ever seen someone stir-frying?
Have you ever seen anyone portioning food?
We've never seen any of these frying, stir-frying, cooking, frying, frying, haven't we?"
Everyone nodded.
Xiao Feng continued, mysteriously, "So, we have to get up early tomorrow and observe secretly to see how they cook!"
When everyone heard this, they had no opinions, neither opposed nor supported them, and they all wanted to go to bed quickly, so they said, "Okay, okay, whatever you want, go to bed quickly!"
With that, everyone fell asleep.
The next morning, Xiaofeng got up early, pushed the people around him, and found that no one was willing to move.
So he forcibly pulled Ah Liang beside him, got up with him, and went to see the work of the restaurant.
When the two children entered the big room, they found that it was still empty, and there was no one inside.
Only the ingredients they had prepared last night were sitting there, and there were two kittens running around, meowing.
Xiao Feng was a little strange, this was still an hour before they got up, according to his imagination, shouldn't this place be in full swing at this time?
How could there be no one?
While he was thinking, a voice came from behind him, "Oh, why are you two here?"
Xiaofeng turned his head and saw that it was Gongliang's mother-in-law.
After Xiao Feng saluted, he said, "Hello mother-in-law, Ah Liangxiang and I came to have a look!"
"Come and see?" the mother-in-law raised her eyebrows and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Ah Liang said, "We want to see how you and the other elders cook!"
The mother-in-law paused, nodded meaningfully, and said, "Interesting, interesting! You have such a mind! It's really good, just look at it, there's nothing to hide!"
Nodding his head incessantly, he turned around and walked inside.
At this time, another elder appeared, dressed in a cyan robe, with a burly figure and a serious face.
Seeing this, the two children hurriedly got out of the way, and the elder glanced at them and asked solemnly, "You two, don't sleep well, what are you doing here?"
Xiaofeng hurriedly said, "We...... We wanted to see and see how to cook!"
But the old man asked, "Watch us cook?" What's so nice about that, huh? Just watch, won't you help?"
The two children were a little confused and said, "Help, of course you have to help!"
"Che, how can you help with this little skill?" the elder retorted.
At this moment, the two children were completely stunned and didn't know what to say.
But I heard a grandfather's laughter from behind: "Hahaha, Aban, you old fellow, are you insomnia or what?
When the old man named Ah Ban heard this, he immediately changed his smiling face and said to Xiao Feng: "Haha, how is it? Nervous, not exciting?
When Xiaofeng and Ah Liang heard this, they had to smile and say, "Wake up, wake up!"
Then another old man came and said with a smile: "You see you scared the two children!
Saying that, he stepped forward and said to Xiaofeng and Ah Liang, "Children, don't be afraid!"
Grandpa Aban listened and said, "Where am I scaring them, I am asking them to be mentally prepared, and after a while, that Amin will come, and they will know what fear is!"
"Who's talking about me again, huh?"
"You two look, while you're talking, this old fellow is coming!" said Grandpa Aban, pointing to the fourth old man who had just arrived.
At this time, the mother-in-law of Gongliang came out and said, "You old men, you came just in time, hurry up and prepare to cook, don't delay your efforts outside!"
As she spoke, the mother-in-law pointed at Xiaofeng and Ah Liang again, and said, "These two children, I want to see how we cook! Aren't these new children here doing chores? They are two of them!"
The mother-in-law introduced Xiaofeng and Ah Liang again: "This is Grandpa Luo, this is Grandpa Amin, this Grandpa Aban, and this is Grandpa Dong!"
Xiaofeng hurriedly saluted and said, "Hello grandfathers, I'm causing you trouble!"
Grandpa Dong stepped forward and said: "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, we cook every day, and no newcomer comes to see it, and I feel bored and panicked!"
Grandpa Amin said, "Who is so bored that you are so panicked? What's so good about cooking, it's true!"
Grandpa Aban said: "Look at it, what I said is right, this Amin is such a hot temper, you two children don't take it to heart!"
Xiaofeng and Ah Liang glanced at each other and nodded.
Grandpa Luo walked over, looked at Xiao Feng, and said, "You are Xiao Feng, the champion who won the colorful token?"
Xiaofeng nodded embarrassedly.
When the other grandfathers and mothers-in-law heard this, they all turned their heads and looked at Xiaofeng.
The mother-in-law said, "He is the champion of this year's admissions?"
Grandpa Luo said: "Of course, what do you think? Who can have this treatment, and come directly to the canteen to help?"
The mother-in-law said thoughtfully, "No wonder, no wonder!"
"What's the wonder, what did your old woman say?" asked Grandpa Luo.
Gongliang's mother-in-law said: "Oh, I can't say a word, I'll go back and ask Brother Luo, right?"
Grandpa Luo seemed to be very jealous, and asked, "Oh, why don't you tell him?
Grandpa Dong smiled and said, "Old Luo, you are a lot old, you should be careful when you speak! Don't you see that the two children are still here?"
Lao Luo turned his head and found that he was a little out of shape.
Looking at Xiaofeng and Ah Liang again, where they were smiling, so they came over, pointed at Xiaofeng's head, and said, "Oh, you stinky boy, what are you laughing at, um? What's so funny, let me tell you, you still have to invite me to dinner, do you know?"
Xiaofeng was stunned by the question, shook his head, and had an innocent expression on his face.
Grandpa Luo looked extremely dissatisfied, and said: "Oh, you little rabbit cub, when you won the championship, I still gave you that drawing, or I gave you Congmin......"
Grandpa Luo had just said half of it, when he suddenly got stuck, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Forget it, in general, you owe me, do you know?"
Xiao Feng heard some eyebrows and nodded quickly.
Secretly thought: It turned out that when I won the competition, it was this grandfather who secretly helped, but looking at his big grin, I don't want to be such a careful person?
Could it be someone else?
At this time, I only heard the mother-in-law of Gongliang say, "Okay, okay, let's start cooking!"
A few grandfathers agreed: "Okay, let's start!"
The next scene that happened surprised the two children when they saw it......
