However, with such a closed bathhouse, you don't have to worry about catching the cold, as long as you remember to dress before you go out. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After soaking comfortably in the water for a while, several old people felt comfortable. However, they were more worried about today's pay, so they didn't delay much.

When I got out of the bathhouse, I saw the guards standing in a neat line at the door of the cafeteria and singing. They didn't understand a word of what they were singing, but their singing voices were passionate, exuding rigidity and surging momentum, which made them feel that they had become a lot younger.

Then it was time for the real meal, and the old people lined up in the middle of the guards with the stainless steel cutlery they had been handed out.

At this time, the rich fragrance directly stimulated their sense of smell, and they couldn't help but salivate. When it was finally their turn, they immediately handed the bowl and plate in.

The chef in charge of the cooking, dressed in a white coat and a tall hat, skillfully served the steaming dishes from the large basin to their plates, and then took four white steamed buns from the steamer next to them and placed them in the bowls.

"If you don't have enough steamed buns, you can get them after eating. ”

Yes?

The old people thought they had misheard.

Originally, they were shocked to see that each person was given four white and large dough cakes, but the chef actually said that they could come and get them if they were not enough.

They had never seen this kind of white steamed bun alone, it was definitely something that only nobles could enjoy, but now it seemed to be infinitely supplied to them.

Quickly made it to the table, and the old people didn't care what was on the plate, and took a big bite on the steamed bun.

It's fragrant and soft, and there's not a bit of excess dregs. This is the most delicious dough they have ever eaten, and they didn't even eat a bite of the dish, and they just ate two steamed buns.

With a little satisfaction, the old man suddenly found that the guards around him were eating slowly, and although no one laughed at them, they were all embarrassed to gobble up. So he picked up the delicate fork and began to see what was on the plate.

Three dishes and one soup, the portions are very large.

Their eyes first fell on the middle place, pork fried cabbage. Although very ordinary, those slices of pork are genuine, and if you cut them into small slices, they are enough to hold a plate.

Then there is a serving of green vegetables, which makes the old people a little surprised, after all, in this winter, even the leaves are yellow, and green vegetables are indeed rare.

Finally, they used their forks to pluck the leftmost dish, small pieces of potatoes, and somehow burned them to make a beautiful sauce.

The most ordinary ingredients, things that will be eaten every day, naturally do not arouse much interest from the elderly.

But wait, what is this thing?

An old man forked out a small lump of meat with a fork, put it to his nose and smelled it, and then carefully put it in his mouth.

Oh my God, it's beef!

The old man immediately rummaged through the plate, and soon found seven or eight pieces.

The happiness that I had never felt before instantly burst into the hearts of several old people.

I haven't eaten beef for several years, but I didn't expect them to meet beef again in this ordinary dinner.

Even if you don't want today's pay, it's worth it!

"Young man," an old man asked the guards beside him, "what do you usually eat?"

"Almost," said the young guard, who was honest, replied with a word, "there must be stir-fried vegetables and greens, but beef is relatively rare, so let's eat it twice a week." When there is no beef, it is braised or steamed pork. ”

"A week? How long is that?"

The guards were stunned for a moment, but then it occurred to them that they didn't know the "week" yet, and it was estimated that no one at home or around them had joined the army, so

He smiled and said, "A week is seven days." ”

Eating beef twice a day in seven days is still relatively rare?

"It can't be a lie, right?"

"Am I going to lie to you about such a trivial matter?"

The young guards were originally well-intentioned, but who knew that these old men were still suspicious of him. But soon he was relieved, more than a year ago, if anyone told him that he could eat pork every day, and he could still eat beef and mutton every three or four days, he would never believe it.

So he said in a "passerby" tone: "As long as you continue to work here, you will understand." ”

Yes, time will tell, so hurry up and eat now.

Several old men each took two more steamed buns, and when they couldn't swallow it anymore, they realized that the guards had already left. The cafeteria was deserted, except for the occasional sound in the kitchen.

They don't know what to do all of a sudden, didn't they say that they would be paid for the night, but who would tell them where to go?

"Won't it be the money for food, it should be deducted from the salary?" someone couldn't help but ask, "In this way, we have eaten so much today, and we may have to take the money backwards." ”

One sentence made several people panic again, if that was the case, they would rather not eat a bite. No matter how delicious the beef is, no matter how delicious the white bread is, it can only fill their stomachs, but they all have families.

"Hey, why are you still sitting here?"

The cook had already cleaned up and was ready to leave work, and when he saw a few old people fidgeting in the deserted canteen, he asked.

"Mistress Renault said that we would get our pay for the day in the evening, but we didn't know where to go. ”

"Since what Lord Renault has promised, it must be fine, I'll go find someone to help you ask. ”

Soon, a man who looked like an officer of the Guards came to the cafeteria.

"I've had people look for you everywhere. ”

He took a few old men to the largest tent, where there was a fire and it was very warm.

A beautiful girl, leaning against the edge of the table, seemed to be about to fall asleep.

"Miss Vivi, someone has found it. ”

Wei Wei immediately came to her senses, she had been busy all day building houses and facilities on the construction site today, and if she hadn't waited for the payment of these workers, she might have rested a long time ago.

"Thank you for your hard work today. Vivi smiled and distributed a silver coin to everyone, "Lord Renault said, although you have only been doing it for half a day, in order to reward you, you will still be paid for one day. ”

Holding the warm silver coin tightly, the hands of several old people even trembled a little.

It was a real silver coin, and they thought it was a little illusory.

I don't think there were a few times a year like this before, but from today onwards, they can sleep like this every day with a silver coin in their hands.

"Rest early," Vivi said after making sure everyone had the coins, "and you'll be home early tomorrow morning." ”

"Huh?"

The old people, who had just been immersed in happiness, suddenly seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar. (To be continued.) )
