Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 845
The shape of the wooden plate in front of Qian Mu is a bit special. There are several grooves of different sizes on the wooden plate, each containing a few dishes, one meat and two vegetables, all of which are seasonal vegetables, and the amount of vegetables is very large. There was also a wooden bowl full of white rice, a way of eating that Qian Mu had never seen before.

"Vegetables are a bit rough, please sir Haihan, when there is nothing else to do, the venue will hold a banquet in the restaurant in the town to entertain you sir, this is what His Royal Highness specially ordered!"

Li Daniu explained to Qian Mu while warmly greeting Qian Mu for dinner.

"Guard Li, you don't have to be polite. Qian doesn't like to be well-clothed and well-fed all day long. These dishes are enough to eat!"

Qian Mu, who has personally experienced the difficulty of ordinary people's life after working in the newspaper office for more than two years, has long since lost the arrogance of the children of the aristocratic family. He picked up the chopsticks like a model, held the rice in front of his eyes, and started to eat a few vegetables.

"Mr. Qian, give me the bowl, and I'll get you another bowl!"

Seeing that Qian Mu ate deliciously, a bowl of rice was quickly drained, Li Daniu put down the black-faced steamed bun in his hand and said with a smile.

"Then Lao Li will be in charge! I am really hungry today, and the food in the cafeteria is delicious, so I can't help but eat a few more bites!
Uh, by the way, is there a place for my book boy's lunch? "

Qian Mu swallowed the food in his mouth, first expressed his thanks in embarrassment, and then followed up with questions.

"Mr. Qian, don't worry, I've settled down a long time ago, that little brother has someone to send him food!"

After a while, Li Daniu returned to the box with a bowl of fragrant white rice in one hand, three steamed buns with black noodles, and a pickled cucumber in the other; "Although you can open it, sir, if it is not enough, I will serve it for you again! "

"Enough is enough! The food in the cafeteria in Guichang is comparable to the daily consumption of wealthy families in the capital!

May I ask Guanshi Li, how long has this canteen been open?

The style of this dinner plate is novel and unique. It is very convenient to eat like this, and it is indeed suitable for places with many people. However, the daily cost is really not small. "

With the first bowl of food as a foundation, Qian Mu finally no longer felt hungry in his stomach, and he slowed down when he started to eat again, so he enjoyed the food in a leisurely manner and raised his own questions by the way.

"This dinner plate was also made by a carpenter after His Royal Highness took out a drawing from the palace.

What the gentleman said is quite right. Even though we are all laborers in this house, the food is not inferior to those rich families at all, and it is even better than many rich families.

As far as I know, there are still many people in the Gyeonggi area who only eat two meals a day. For those wealthy families, it is rare to see meat a few times a year, while our canteen sees meat three times a day for dinner, usually every two days. There is a meal with chicken, and there must be fried vegetables with oil every day, and steamed rice buns are even more filling. It is no exaggeration to say that this meal is comparable to that used by the gentlemen in the court yamen! "

After trying hard to swallow the food overflowing in his mouth, Li Daniu replied in an extremely proud tone.

Qian Mu expressed agreement with his words.

He knew what Li Daniu said was the truth.

Although people's living standards have been greatly improved now, the grain output of Daming can basically meet people's daily normal grain needs, and the number of people eating two meals a day is decreasing day by day, but due to the habits developed over the years, some people are still used to suffering. The common people in daily life adhere to the concept of eating thin food at ordinary times, and eating dry food only when they go to the fields to do farm work.

In most people's homes, the dishes that are usually used to serve meals are steamed or boiled, or pickled vegetables. Stir-fried vegetables with oil can only be enjoyed by wealthy families. How can ordinary families get this kind of treatment? Still, it's very precious.

Unexpectedly, in the canteen of Shengyuan Dairy, these "luxury things" are so common, and the workers who are also ordinary people can eat so well every day, which is enough to make the well-informed Qian Mu felt a little weird.

"Mr. Qian doesn't know something. His Highness has long expressed his dissatisfaction with the status quo. He said that the number of crops grown in the farm is still too small, so it is impossible for the big guys to eat meat every day. Wait until a few years later. After being several times larger than it is now, the annual output has greatly increased, and she promises that all of us can eat meat every day!
It is because of His Highness's words of encouragement, coupled with the fact that everyone is treated so generously, that the men, women and children in the arena are all working hard, and the strength in this body seems to be inexhaustible, and it is full of energy every day. They all want to do something to show His Highness, and also make their own descendants live a better life! "

Li Daniu is worthy of the title of chatterbox, this lunch that should have been eaten in a quarter of an hour, unexpectedly extended to half an hour after he opened the chatterbox.

However, due to the professional habits developed by the newspaper office, Qian Mu still likes to listen to other people's stories, and the more detailed the better, the two of them asked and answered, just like later generations of Internet writers pouring water, stunned. The lunch of white rice and black steamed buns gave off the feeling that a thousand cups of wine is too small to meet a bosom friend at a feast of fine wine and delicacies. If you say it, few people will believe it.

The instruction Qian Mu received was to learn more about the current situation of Shengyuan Dairy Industry. The conversation with Li Daniu was exactly what he needed. The content of the conversation was stored in his mind, and when he had time to sort it out, it would turn into a beautiful paragraph in a long report. Therefore, when Li Daniu closed the chatter box, Qian Mu still had a feeling that he still had something to say.

"Hey, look at my broken mouth, I can't stop talking! I just keep chatting, and before I know it, it's almost the afternoon duty time. I'm really sorry, Mr. Delay has a rest, After talking so much, Mr. Qian won't feel bored, will he?

How about I arrange a carriage to take Mr. back to his residence to rest for a while? "

When Li Daniu noticed that the bustling cafeteria had become silent, and the girls who were waiting to clean up the tableware showed their faces in the box several times intentionally or unintentionally, he stopped talking and apologized to Qian Mu embarrassingly.

"It's okay, it's okay, what Li Guanshi said is extremely interesting, Qian is also listening to novelty, why bother to talk about it?
There is no need to take a break. A certain person has not won the championship yet, and he is full of energy. Now that it is time to go on duty, let's go to other places in the venue to watch it! "

Qian Mu smiled and waved his hands, expressing that he didn't dislike him for talking too much, which made Li Daniu more energetic.

"I have long seen that Mr. is quite different from that ordinary literati, now that I look at it, it is indeed so!

Walk!Let's go to other places to watch! "
