Chapter 71 Cafeteria Operation 2
Chapter 71 Cafeteria Operation 2
Wang Qiqi carried the tray and walked towards Lin Li and the others.
At this moment, the group had already set out their food and were happily eating the meat they had managed to snatch.
"If it weren't for PE class, I would never have been able to get my hands on this braised pork with preserved mustard greens. Every time I get to the front of the line, it's all gone."
"Who says otherwise? Eating lunch after class every day is more tiring than a 100-meter sprint. I just can't keep up with those people."
"Yeah, yeah, it would be great if PE classes could be scheduled around mealtimes."
"That's impossible; the other teachers disagree."
As they were talking, they saw Wang Qiqi sit down in her seat.
Lin Li peeked in and said, "Qiqi, you're back! How was the food? Was it good?"
Wang Qiqi shook her head, "I haven't tried it yet, but it looks pretty good."
Others also turned their attention to the food on Wang Qiqi's plate.
It has to be said that this is indeed the case. The other people's plates did have vegetables, but they didn't look as delicious or fresh as theirs.
"Perhaps this dish is truly extraordinary, otherwise it wouldn't be able to sell for ten yuan."
"That's right, Qiqi, you should try it. If it tastes good, we'll go eat it next time."
"Okay," Wang Qiqi replied and began picking up food from her plate.
She picked up a piece of tomato first; she quite likes scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
She put the bright red tomato into her mouth, and the delicate, juicy taste overwhelmed her. The sweet and sour tomato flavor mixed with the egg flavor, and after being cooked, it had a slightly grainy texture, which was wonderful and delicious.
After taking a bite, Wang Qiqi gave her feedback, "Mmm! Delicious."
She then picked up other dishes, and exclaimed in amazement with every bite of these three vegetarian dishes.
This drew the attention of everyone else who was enjoying their food to her.
Watching her eat one bite after another, mixing the food together and enjoying it so much, my eyes couldn't help but drift towards those dishes.
Why don't you try it yourself? It looks delicious.
Lin Li couldn't hold back any longer. She and Wang Qiqi were close, and they had often gone out to eat together. She also knew that Wang Qiqi was a foodie.
However, he is usually a bit picky about food, and only shows this expression when he eats something particularly delicious.
Lin Li asked, "Qiqi, is it that delicious? You didn't even look up while you were eating."
Wang Qiqi looked up from the delicious food, swallowed the food in her throat, and recommended it to them, "It's really delicious, you must try it next time. I've never eaten such delicious vegetables before, even the ones cooked in a big pot taste so good."
Seeing her like this, the others were inexplicably tempted. "Really? Is it that amazing?"
Lin Li said directly, "Qiqi, can I have a taste? I can give you my meat."
Wang Qiqi was a little reluctant, after all, although the cafeteria auntie's hands didn't shake this time, the portion wasn't very large.
But since they were all classmates and friends, she reluctantly said, "You can eat it directly."
Then, looking at the others, he said, "Everyone can have a taste."
"Really? Thank you so much, Qiqi." After saying that, the girls started taking food from her plate.
However, everyone was mindful of their limits and only took one slice to taste.
Lin Li picked up the water spinach and put it on her plate, then tasted it.
Her eyes lit up when she took a bite. How could it be so delicious? The water spinach was cooked just right, neither too old nor too young, as if it had just been pulled from the soil.
It doesn't have a strange burnt smell, and it's not greasy at all. It's just the natural flavor of water spinach with the added flavor of chili.
With its crisp stems and tender leaves, this small water spinach completely awakens one's taste buds.
Lin Li was jolted awake by the food, and the other students reacted similarly.
They didn't expect the school to be serious this time; the delicious food was actually real.
After carefully finishing their meal, they suddenly felt that the meat on their plates no longer tasted good. Their eyes lit up as they stared at Wang Qiqi's plate, and they couldn't help but swallow.
Wang Qiqi sensed the subtle tension in the atmosphere and carefully pulled the plate closer to her chest.
The others noticed her movements and had to force themselves to look away.
Some people couldn't help but feel regretful, saying, "If I had known, I would have waited longer. If I had tasted it and known it tasted like this, I would definitely have bought it."
"Yes, yes, we can only come in the afternoon now, and we've already gotten lunch."
The group felt extremely disappointed and could only console themselves by coming back in the afternoon.
As the group was talking, the school bell rang, and the entire campus suddenly became lively.
The students sitting in the classroom rushed out, heading straight for the cafeteria.
Lin Li and the others soon saw someone run up to the second floor, quite quickly.
Just like the girls before them, most of these people assumed it was a dirty trick by the school to take advantage of them, so they mostly ignored it.
None of them expected that the school would actually be honest this time.
Most people ignored it, but some students still went to the window to avoid queuing and to try something new. At least some people came here to eat.
Director Qin was initially very anxious, after all, two or three kittens were hardly enough.
However, he deliberately observed the students who had ordered food, and when he saw that many of them looked happy, he felt much more at ease.
Because Dai Ming found queuing at other windows troublesome, he and his classmate moved to the newly opened window, thinking it would be more convenient.
But once they actually got in line, they realized something was wrong: "Why is the price ten yuan?"
Chen Lei, who was standing next to him, also realized what was going on, "What kind of outrageous thing is this? They've raised the price again?"
Dai Ming shook his head, "I don't know, but what should we do now? Should we switch lines?"
Chen Lei wanted to switch to another line, but after looking at the long lines on the other sides, he became a little reluctant.
Dai Ming said, "Let's just leave it at that for today. If we go back to queue now, we'll have to wait a long time again."
"That's true, then we'll have to eat this."
"Eat up, eat up, the school food is just so-so anyway."
After discussing it, the two decided to eat this again.
Soon, because the line was short, it was their turn.
The cafeteria worker asked, "Do you want all three dishes?"
Dai Ming glanced at the dishes and nodded firmly, "I want them all."
As soon as Dai Ming finished speaking, the cafeteria lady quickly served him the food.
Dai Ming, carrying the plate, found a place to sit down with Chen Lei.
Chen Lei looked at the food on the plate and nodded. "It looks pretty good. The food doesn't look too oily or burnt."
Dai Ming: "It's alright, you'll know once you try it."
After saying that, he immediately ate a bite of food, because he was very hungry after a day of classes.
But what was unexpected was that his slightly impatient movements stopped immediately after taking a bite of food.
Chen Lei, who was opposite them, also exchanged a glance with him.
