Xiao Nianzhi and Aunt Yu started working at about three o'clock, and held a meeting at three o'clock, which lasted until...
Late noon.
After looking at the time on the clepsydra, Aunt Yu raised her hand to signal Xiao Nianzhi: "It's time to eat."
Xiao Nianzhi behaved obediently and secretly thought to herself that Shibo was indeed taking care of her!
Go to work at 9 o'clock, take lunch break at 12 o'clock, and fish for more than two hours in between.
If 996 and 007 heard about this work, they would probably cry with envy!
The two of them quickly packed up and went to the cafeteria. On the way, Aunt Yu explained to Xiao Nianzhi: "The students have been eating since the end of the afternoon, and by the time it's half past noon, almost all of them have finished eating. Although we have many students here, the cafeteria It’s big enough, so if you take turns eating it, it’ll be fast. If we go there at this time, if you don’t have a favorite dish, you can cook two, or have some dessert. Talk to the aunties, and they will help you fry them. , try not to trouble the chefs."
Speaking of the chef, Aunt Yu rolled her eyes gracefully: "Everyone claims to have a different identity, but we can't help them."
Xiao Nianzhi knew as soon as she heard it that there was a story in it, but she was too shy to ask.
What if it’s a bad memory and Aunt Yu is in a bad mood and I don’t take her fishing in the afternoon?
The two people walked and talked all the way, and soon they arrived at the canteen.
The cafeteria was indeed empty at the moment, with no students in sight, only support staff who came to eat together from time to time.
When walking around the back mountain in the morning, Aunt Yu had already briefly told Xiao Nianzhi about the situation of the Imperial College's logistics personnel.
The area in the back hill was filled with vegetable fields and orchards, and there was very little food. The food in the Imperial College was grown outside.
Although the Imperial Academy receives funding from the imperial court every year, the academy itself has to bear a lot of expenses.
Therefore, those who can farm by themselves are always more affordable than those bought from outside.
In addition to Aunt Yu, there are three male masters taking care of the vegetable garden in the back mountain. Aunt Yu said that if she met them later, she would introduce them to Xiao Nianzhi.
In addition to those who serve the vegetable garden in the back mountain, there are also those in the canteen, those who sweep, and those who do shopping...
It can be said that for the sake of the students' studies, the logistics support has been done quite well.
The two people quickly entered the canteen, and when they saw them coming, many people smiled and said hello.
"Aunt Yu is here."
"Aunt Yu."
…
Xiao Nianzhi came late last night, and there were only Aunt Fu and Aunt Cui at that time.
Most people in the cafeteria were not familiar with her, but they had already heard about her.
Xiao Siye's clan niece and Aunt Yu's new apprentice.
Because of curiosity, everyone looked over from time to time.
For fear that the little girl would be thin-skinned, many people would be too embarrassed to look at her more, so they would look away after just two glances.
Seeing this, many people exclaimed: This is amazing, a little fairy has arrived!
A little girl with black hair and fair skin, a small face and big eyes, is attractive to people just by looking at her.
Xiao Nianzhi let them look at him openly, without any restraint.
Aunt Yu watched secretly from the side and nodded with satisfaction.
Aunt Cui was not here during the day, but Aunt Fu was here. She smiled and greeted Xiao Nianzhi: "Yuan Niang is here, come and see if there is anything you like to eat."
On a June day in Beijing, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and it is not easy for the canteen to cook too many dishes.
Especially after the meal peak is over, cooking is done based on the number of people.
Otherwise, it will be wasted if you do too much.
Now that there wasn't much food left, the rich aunt didn't want the little girl to be wronged. After calling Xiao Nianzhi over, she said a few more words: "It's okay if you don't like it, I'll cook it for you."
At this time, the chefs were tired, either had eaten and rested, or were eating.
It's not easy for the rich aunt to trouble them, but she's a pretty good cook and can also cook.
Of course, if Xiao Nianzhi is willing to put it to use, she is actually quite happy to eat it ready-made.
Xiao Nianzhi was called over and smiled shyly: "I'm sorry for bothering you, rich aunt."
While replying, he looked at the remaining dishes.
There really wasn't much, just a home-style fried tofu, a stir-fried dried vegetable, and a fried dogwood sliced meat, which looked like mutton.
Xiao Nianzhi had just arrived and was still young, so it was not easy for him to make his own decisions. There were few people last night, so it was okay to give his best.
The chefs are all here today, so Xiao Nianzhi takes action again, which is more or less like a challenge.
Thinking of this, she turned to look at Aunt Yu: "Which one Auntie wants to eat, I will help Auntie decide."
Aunt Yu also knew that Xiao Nianzhi was in the limelight when he first arrived, which was not good-looking.
Although the Imperial College's logistics staff are not particularly top-notch, they are sometimes unable to withstand people's instigation and have a competitive spirit.
So, she nodded: "Let's go vegetarian."
Xiao Nianzhi quickly packed her meal and returned to Aunt Yu.
She prepared a little of each dish. Seeing that Xiao Nianzhi didn't start cooking, the rich aunt was a little disappointed, but she didn't say much.
She is not young anymore, wouldn't she understand the twists and turns involved?
When Xiao Nianzhi and the others came, the rice was gone, and only the golden pancakes were left.
After sitting down with Aunt Yu, Xiao Nianzhi took a bite of the pancake first.
It's still soft. If it can be left to wake up for a few more minutes, the taste may be better.
For pasta, the technical difficulty is not high depending on the time to wake up, the time to steam it, and the time to take it out of the pan.
After taking a bite of pancakes, Xiao Nianzhi ate another bite of fried tofu. To be honest, the taste was very ordinary, but she didn't show it at all, and quickly ate mutton and dried vegetables.
Well, it's pretty average.
However, he couldn't show it yet. After all, when Xiao Nianzhi was eating, there was someone not far away who looked at him with a burning gaze.
Xiao Nianzhi guessed that the other party was probably a chef. He might have heard about what happened last night, so he paid more attention to him.
Seeing that Xiao Nianzhi ate naturally and finished all the dishes in the end, the look went away.
After eating and thanking several aunts, Xiao Nianzhi was about to leave when he was stopped by the rich aunt again: "There is still some milk delivered in the morning. You can take it back and cook it to drink. They say this food is nutritious. Look how thin you are, take more supplements.”
While the rich aunt was talking, she had already poured a large basin of milk for Xiao Nianzhi.
They are not very good at eating this stuff. Most of the time, it is mixed into noodles to steam steamed buns, bake pancakes, and sometimes even directly feeds the pigs or sheep in the backyard.
Looking at the milk, Xiao Nianzhi's eyes lit up.
I didn’t eat well at lunch, and I urgently needed dessert after dinner. However, I didn’t have enough ingredients, so now I’m here!
Xiao Nianzhi smiled obediently, and after thanking the rich aunt, she asked for taro and pumpkin.
The rich aunt just thought that the little girl was not full and was too embarrassed to fight more, so she specially selected the steamed ones and gave them to her: "I wanted to save them for the afternoon. If you want to eat, I will give them to you first, and Auntie will steam them later." "
Seeing that Xiao Nianzhi still wanted to carry the milk basin, Aunt Yu helped to pick up the small basin filled with taro and pumpkin.
To be honest, Aunt Yu is actually quite curious. What does the little girl want to do with these things?
