Border Cook

All in all, they had never eaten such delicious cabbage, and it was also the first time they had eaten such delicious meat!

"Mrs. Xia, this Luoyang cabbage is so delicious!"

"Both the cabbage and the meat slices are very tender. If we eat them to our heart's content, this bowl of Luoyang cabbage may not be enough."

"We need to add two more steamed buns!"

"Can I have three?"

The four members of the Niu family were delighted and gave the highest praise to the Luoyang cabbage made by Xia Mingyue, but they soon became a little worried.

"You say..." Niu swallowed the last piece of cabbage and said, "The kitchen made such a delicious lunch. Will the headmaster and Master Dai be unhappy?"

"Yes, we took the initiative to add some lard to the dishes that Chef Wei prepared before, thinking that they would taste better. But Master Dai said that it was enough to eat until we were full, and it didn't matter if it tasted good."

"Don't the headmaster and Master Dai often say that if the food doesn't taste good, it will do more to sharpen the will of the students?"

"If the Luoyang cabbage made by Madam Xia is served out..."

"I guess Madam Xia doesn't know what's going on here. We have to talk to each other when the time comes. We can't let the dean and Master Dai talk about her alone."

"That's the truth..."

The four of them were all worried and were thinking about how to deal with the situation later.

"It's okay. Just serve the Luoyang cabbage as usual today." Xia Mingyue smiled and didn't care about the worries of Niu and others.

Last night, she thought about why Zhou Zhiqing specifically asked her to be the cook.

Considering the reputation of the county school canteen and the guarantee Zhou Zhiqing gave him yesterday, Xia Mingyue had reason to believe that Zhou Zhiqing wanted her to make the food more delicious.

But Zhou Zhiqing obviously didn't want to say this, so she couldn't point it out.

"It's getting late now, let's fry these radish balls quickly." Xia Mingyue said.

The steamed buns were almost ready, and when all the students came to the cafeteria to eat, the meatballs fresh from the pot were brought out. They were crispy and delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

It tastes delicious!
The four of them were still feeling uneasy, but seeing Xia Mingyue looking relaxed and confident, they had no choice but to follow Xia Mingyue's instructions and go about their business.

By the way, this Madam Xia was brought here by Shanzhang Zhou, so maybe he would be biased towards Madam Xia.

But that Master Dave...

After all, he is the master, so maybe he would give the dean some face, right?
But they had always heard that Master Dai was of upright character and often argued with President Zhou, refusing to give up even when his face turned red.

To give him face...

When the four people thought of this, they all sighed at the same time.

Looking at Xia Mingyue who was concentrating on making radish balls, Niu and others looked at each other and nodded vigorously.

When the time comes, I will help Madam Xia to bear some of the burden!
Not to mention anything else, just looking at Madam Xia's cooking skills is enough to make them respect her!
The sun gradually rose to the highest point in the sky.

When the time came, the teacher ended the get out of class as usual and left with the scroll.

The students began to pack their things.

Two and a half hours had passed since they had breakfast in the morning. The students were already hungry and their stomachs were making sounds like beating drums.

But even so, all the students remained calm and were not in a hurry to go to the cafeteria to eat.

"Why are you taking so long?" Zhu Guangyuan said with a smile, "A new cook is here today, and the food in the canteen will taste different." "Yes, it's different. Maybe it's even worse than what Chef Wei cooks." Zhang Mingyi curled his lips, looking worried.

I discussed with everyone last night and decided to sneak out for a while in the morning. Whether we bring food back or eat out, we must fill our stomachs as much as possible to avoid being poisoned by the food in the canteen later.

Unfortunately, the gate of the county school was closed tightly early, and the gatekeeper Old Li was nowhere to be found, so they had no chance to go out at all.

At this moment, we can only go to the small canteen to eat.

Zhang Mingyi let out a long sigh.

The dullness and sadness made the atmosphere around much more solemn.

When the other students saw this, their faces turned unhappy.

"How can it be so exaggerated?" Zhu Guangyuan smiled and held his forehead with his hand. "Maybe it tastes better than Chef Wei's cooking?"

"The sun probably rises from the west..."

I don’t know who responded.

Then, there were sighs again.

Zhu Guangyuan shook his head and walked out with his hands behind his back.

The other students didn't want to go to the canteen at first, but after rubbing their completely deflated and hungry stomachs, they had no choice but to walk towards the canteen dejectedly.

At worst, just put it in your mouth with your eyes closed.

Even if the food tastes bad, is it worse than the medicine?
Life is short, just be patient and it will pass...

With this in mind, everyone headed towards the canteen reluctantly.

When they walked near the canteen, the dejected Fan Pingyang suddenly raised his head and sniffed, "What a nice smell!"

"Smell good?" Zhang Mingyi raised his hand and touched him. "I think you are starving. How can there be any fragrance?"

"It smells really good!" Fan Pingyang sniffed again and was very sure, "It's the smell of food, and it's very strong, I can't be wrong!"

He has had a dog's nose since he was a child and is very sensitive to smells, especially the smell of food.

He was sure that what he smelled now was indeed the delicious food!

The smell is so strong, so the taste must be good!
Fan Pingyang's eyes lit up, and without caring about the others in his group, he rushed into the small dining hall to see what they would have for lunch.

But when I saw the big bowls at the food stall, one filled with fried radish balls and the other filled with cabbage and boiled pork slices, I was immediately disappointed.

However, the fragrance from the two pots kept drilling into Fan Pingyang’s nostrils.

Let’s look at the two bowls of food again. The meatballs are round and golden in color. The shredded red and white radishes inside are faintly visible. The cabbage and pork slices also look great in color. Both the pork slices and cabbage look very tender…

Never mind, let’s try it first!
The smell is so good, how could the taste be bad?
When the cook saw Fan Pingyang coming over, she picked up a clean bowl, scooped half a bowl of Luoyang cabbage into it, sprinkled seven or eight meatballs on it, and took out two steamed buns made of double-mixed flour and handed them all to him.

"Thank you."

Fan Pingyang took it and found the nearest table to sit at.

After sitting down, he first put a meatball into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, then quickly put some cabbage and meat slices into his mouth...

After a moment of silence, Fan Pingyang stuffed two mouthfuls of steamed buns into his mouth, then rushed out of the canteen in a panic, shouting to the students who were hesitant outside the canteen and were reluctant to come in to eat, "Come on, come on, come in and eat..." (End of this chapter)
