Border Cook

He had never eaten such delicious cabbage and pork slices.

If it’s too late, I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat it!
No, this cabbage and pork slices are so delicious that he will want to return his bowl later. But if this bunch of foodies come in later, given the speed at which they eat, he may not get a share of the bowl!

When Fan Pingyang thought of this, he didn't even think about informing others as soon as possible. He just turned around and went back to the small dining hall. He went straight to the table where he had just sat, picked up the bowl and started eating and drinking.

Leaving a group of students looking at each other in bewilderment.

Fan Pingyang's words were already unclear because his mouth was full of steamed buns that he had not yet swallowed, and no one could hear what he was saying. Then he suddenly left, which made people even more puzzled.

Based on the principle that doubts should be resolved, a group of students entered the canteen curiously.

When he saw Fan Pingyang wolfing down the food and the strong aroma wafting from the rice stall, he suddenly understood.

The lunch was very delicious!

The students' eyes lit up and they all went to the stall and lined up quickly.

Bowls of Luoyang cabbage were scooped out, and the students held their bowls, gathered in groups of three or four, sat around the table, and began to enjoy the delicious-looking cabbage, meat slices and radish meatballs.

Soon, the students became excited.

“I have never eaten such delicious cabbage and meat slices in a canteen.”

"The radish balls are also fried until crispy and delicious. They are delicious whether eaten alone or soaked in this vegetable soup."

"Indeed, this cooking skill is probably even better than the dishes at Yueran Restaurant."

"It seems that the cooking skills of the cook who came today are indeed quite good. From now on, you can eat in the small dining hall without any worries."

"The headmaster and the teacher have really changed their ways. They now feel sorry for us and understand us..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the students who were praising the Luoyang cabbage and fried radish meatballs in their bowls all fell silent at the same time, and their faces showed worry.

Is it true that the headmaster and several teachers have changed their minds and hired a skilled cook to prepare some delicious meals for them?

Or was it that the headmaster and the teachers had no idea of ​​the cooking skills of the cook who was temporarily replacing Chef Wei, and thought that her cooking skills were just about the same as Chef Wei's?

If that were the case, wouldn't their praise of the new cook's cooking skills make the headmaster and the teachers angry, and they would drive away the new cook who cooks delicious dishes and find a new cook or cook with poor cooking skills...

OK!
All the students shuddered and began to whisper to each other.

"The headmaster and the teachers will come to eat later, so we must not do this."

"Well, you need to chew slowly and act like you are chewing wax. It's best not to add more rice. Even if you want to add more, just add steamed buns."

"You must act like you don't care about the food, or even feel disgusted with it."

"Remember, remember..."

After some discussion, everyone agreed with the suggestion and started to pretend to eat slowly according to the suggestion.

But this is a bit painful and unbearable.

After all, it’s really sad that I can’t enjoy such delicious Luoyang cabbage and fried radish meatballs, let alone eat more.

But in order to have delicious meals during this time...

This little sacrifice is still tolerable!
Everyone had mixed emotions, and their facial expressions were somewhat painful, making them seem a little distorted.

Zhou Zhiqing, who came in with several teachers, was startled by the appearance of the students and began to murmur in his heart.

Could it be that it is so difficult to satisfy everyone?

Even the food cooked by Madam Xia cannot satisfy everyone’s taste?
But he had eaten all the food sold by Xia Ji, and he couldn't praise Madam Xia's cooking skills more. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case...

With such doubts, Zhou Zhiqing sat in his usual seat.

The cooks brought the food to the table. The aroma was fragrant, the color was bright, and the taste...

Delicious and intoxicating.

It really is worthy of Madam Xia’s craftsmanship!
Zhou Zhiqing felt emotional and ate faster.

However, when he was enjoying his delicious lunch, he caught a glimpse of Dai Changnian who was preparing to eat with chopsticks. He immediately concealed the surprise and satisfaction on his face and tried to slow down his movements.

This is bound to cause some pain and sadness...

Zhou Zhiqing immediately understood the reason for those students' expressions. He felt deeply impressed by the cunning schemes of these clever students and sighed.

"What's wrong with the headmaster?" Dai Changnian asked with concern.

"Nothing." Zhou Zhiqing picked up the bowl and covered most of his face. "I just think the cooking skills of this new cook are far inferior to Chef Wei."

"But then again, people who study shouldn't be too particular about food and drink. It's good enough as long as they are full. I am being a little picky and nosy."

After saying that, Zhou Zhiqing continued to eat, taking small bites at a time, slowly and leisurely.

Dai Changnian nodded, agreeing with what Zhou Zhiqing said. After saying "hmm", he picked up the bowl, picked up the chopsticks, and put the Luoyang cabbage in the bowl into his mouth.

The aroma of cabbage, meat, fried flour soup base, sesame paste...

Dai Changnian was suddenly stunned.

The food in the bowl is quite delicious.

But, there was also a part of my body that was not feeling quite right.

stomach.

It seemed to be roaring and shouting, urging him to put the food in the bowl into his mouth as quickly as possible and eat it all.

Dai Changnian had never had such a feeling before, and subconsciously took a few more bites of food.

Half of the food in the bowl was gone quickly, but Dai Changnian frowned, "The taste of today's food..."

"It's not as delicious as what Chef Wei cooks." said Shen Yongan on the side.

The other teachers also nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's a little worse, but it's still barely edible."

Dai Changnian opened his mouth when he heard this, but when he saw that everyone had an expression that said "the food is not tasty", he had no choice but to stuff the radish meatballs in the bowl into his mouth again.

Crisp, fragrant and delicious.

To be frank, this tastes much better than the food prepared by Chef Wei.

But now, everyone says he is not as good as Chef Wei?
Dai Changnian was puzzled and looked up at the students who were eating next to him.

The students at this time were all frowning, and their "uninteresting" expressions were exactly the same as Zhou Zhiqing and the others.

Could it be that there was something wrong with his own sense of taste?
The food that others think is delicious, but he thinks it is not tasty?

But that's not what's important.

The important thing is that now he just wants to eat all of this delicious food!

Dai Changnian was very surprised that he had such thoughts.

But he quickly attributed the idea to being too hungry.

Because Zhou Zhiqing next to him stood up first and asked the cook to add some Luoyang cabbage. The reason was that he had been checking the students' essays all morning and was too exhausted, so he was particularly hungry. (End of this chapter)
