After following Nangong Qing into the cafeteria, Shanhe suddenly felt like he had returned to the secular world.

This cafeteria, no matter how you look at it, is more like a high-end cafeteria.

Looking up, there are rows of exquisite chandeliers hanging from the roof, illuminating the entire dining room.

Under the chandelier, there are fifty or sixty tables neatly arranged, even if more than 100 people eat at the same time, there is no problem.

Around the wall of the hall is a circle of long tables covered with white tablecloths. On the table is a square insulated pot with a lid one after another, and there are forty or fifty of them at a glance, which instantly gives people a dazzling feeling.

After taking two sets of utensils from the sterilizer, Nangong Qing pulled the mountains and rivers around the insulating pots around.

Looking all the way, under the strong request of Shanhe, the two opened almost all the insulating pots and looked at them.

But the result was very disappointing for Shanhe!

Among the 50 insulated pots, 20 pots are filled with white rice, 10 pots are white noodles, and 10 pots are white steamed buns, and the staple food alone accounts for a full 40 pots!

Although the remaining ten pots are all "vegetables", there are actually only two dishes: five-pot vegetarian stir-fried vegetables and five-pot stewed pork ribs. It doesn't even look like it's colorful, and it makes people lose their appetite.

Seeing this scene, Shanhe had to sigh with great disappointment. took some of the two dishes each, and found a place to sit down with Nangong Qing.

Although it was a meal at the moment, there were not many people eating, and the restaurant was relatively quiet.

After tasting the pork ribs and green vegetables separately, I saw Shanhe frowning and shaking his head and sighing:

"Well, I now finally understand what it means to be ruined. This canteen looks quite tall, but this food ...... I can't compliment it. ”

While speaking, Shanhe suddenly understood why when he saw Nangong Qing for the first time, the other party would make a big move with him on the table for food.

If you can only eat these things every day on the mountain, then when you encounter the food under the mountain, you really have to "cherish" it.

"Third Senior Brother, now you know why I like to eat snacks, ......right? It's so unpalatable!" After a helpless complaint, I heard Nangong Qing lower her voice again and said:

"But don't tell my dad about that, if he listens, he'll reprimand you. He is a person who is particularly unresponsive in eating. It is always said that meals are meant to fill the stomach, and it doesn't matter if it's good or not. Alas, I don't know how I can have such a rigid dad!"

"Ah, is it possible that the food here is so simple, and it is all deliberately requested by the master?" After hearing this, Shanhe asked with a little surprise.

"Well, it's barely true, but there are other reasons. Then, I listened to Nangong Qing explain while eating:

"Since most of the fresh ingredients cannot be stored for a long time, the things we eat are basically transported up the mountain by our secular families every week. Transporting food to the mountains was already a troublesome matter, and all the ingredients sent to it needed to be sent to the middle school disciples for a second inspection. If there are too many things, it is also cumbersome to check, so when purchasing, the sect will try to simplify the dishes and reduce the time spent on them. ”

"Oh, that's what happened. After nodding slightly, Shanhe asked puzzledly:

"Hey, even if the ingredients are not abundant, and the food is delicious, it's always okay to put more condiments, right? Seasonings or something should last for a long time, right? It's always stir-fried and stewed, isn't it enjoyable to eat?"

"Alas, you're right, but the problem is my father!" After shaking his head, Nangong Qing said helplessly:

"Not to mention condiments, even if it is a transportation or inspection problem, as long as you want to solve it, anyone can come up with hundreds of solutions. But our boss, he doesn't want to solve this problem, he wants the food in the cafeteria to keep the current style. In his opinion, this will avoid the contamination of the worldly world, reduce the greed of the disciples for food, and allow them to focus more on their own practice. So, unless someone can change his opinion, our canteen will have to be so monotonous forever. ”

"Well, it seems to make some sense to say that, but ...... The method is a little too cruel. ”

Hearing that Shanhe actually said that this method "makes sense", Nangong Qing immediately replied angrily:

"What's the reason? If there is no good food, there is no energy in cultivation! Not only is it cruel, it is simply too domineering! If I become the head of the sect in the future, the first thing I will do is to improve the cafeteria so that every disciple can eat delicious food!"

After stuffing two green vegetables into her mouth angrily, when Nangong Qing just wanted to say something more, the jade pendant she hung on her waist suddenly lit up with blue light, flashing and flashing, just like a mobile phone call.

Seeing this scene, Nangong Qing was stunned for a moment, and said to herself with a puzzled face: "Aren't I not working today?

But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw that her face changed suddenly, as if she remembered something, threw down her chopsticks and ran out of the door, and shouted anxiously:

"Oops! I actually forgot to change shifts with Xiaowen in the afternoon, I have to go to work for her today! Senior Brother Sanke, I'll go first, you can help me eat these foods, don't waste them!"

After speaking, I saw Nangong Qing leave the cafeteria in a hurry, leaving Shanhe alone sitting at the table with his mouth open and stunned, with two full plates in front of him......

Sitting alone at the table, eating for three or five minutes, a strange man's voice suddenly came from Shanhe's ears:

"This ...... Teacher, junior brother, you seem to be a newcomer, right?"

Turning his head, he saw that there were two people standing behind him.

The person speaking is on the left, slightly obese, and his hair is a little curly. Wearing a yellow short-sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans underneath, judging from the outfit alone, it should be a disciple from the secular world.

The man standing next to him was extremely tall, at least a man of more than 1.9 meters, with a thin figure, wearing a white sports short, and a black belt around his waist, which was also a worldly dress.

I remember that when I first entered the cafeteria, Shanhe had seen these two people, they came earlier than him, and they were sitting nearby to eat just now.

At this moment, he suddenly came to "talk" to himself, which surprised Shanhe.

After putting down the chopsticks in his hand and rubbing the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, Shanhe Fang turned around and replied:

"That's right, I only went up the mountain yesterday. I wonder if you two are looking for me?"

Seeing that the other party asked about his intentions, the fat self-curling immediately squeezed out a smile and replied with a fist:

"Hehe, my name is Luo Han, and this is my friend Du Xiao. We are all secular disciples who joined the sect two years ago, hehe, seeing that the junior disciple is dining here, I came over to say hello. ”
