Chapter 36 Lan Lijuan's Bamboo Shoots

 With each person having a cup of tea and closing the office door, more than ten teachers held a tea party.

The only tea boy, Chen Qi, ran back and forth countless times to open the water and refill their cups.

The taste and nutrient release of Longjing tea are the best when brewed for the first time. The second brew will taste lighter than the first brew, and the nutrient release will also be greatly reduced.

Generally speaking, the third brew does not have much tasting value in terms of taste or nutrition, so you will generally not drink it after the third brew.

But this group of young old men probably really enjoyed themselves too much. There were quite a lot of people who had four or five times, not to mention three times.

I guess what I drank was not tea, but the mood and memories of the past, so I didn’t even eat lunch.

It was not until almost afternoon, when class preparation was about to begin, that everyone was ready to get up and inform.

At this time, Teacher Zhao Yiping kicked the sack next to Chen Qi, "Class Leader Chen, what's in this? How many things are you planning to bring as gifts? Do you want to recognize Teacher Li as your godfather?"

Everyone around him laughed, and Li Baotian laughed especially happily.

Chen Qi knew he couldn't hide it, so he opened the sack and showed it to Zhao Yiping:

"These are all authentic pheasants and rabbits from our mountains. They are all made into air-dried bacon. I want to give them to the teacher to try."

Cured chicken? Cured rabbit?

These days, anything that has anything to do with meat is scarce, and teachers don’t usually eat much meat.

Zhao Yiping pulled out a dried rabbit and smelled it.

"Hey, it smells so good. How many good things have you hidden?"

The other teachers took a look and gathered around again.

Chen Qi brought 5 dried chickens and 5 dried rabbits this time, authentic wild products from the mountains, big and fat.

Of course, there is still a lot of space. At that time, there were too many chickens, rabbits, and rabbits given by the farmer patients, and they could not be eaten at once, so the silly elder sister dried them all, kept some at home, and asked him to take the rest to school.

But there was no place to cook in the school, so I wanted to give some to the teacher.

What a coincidence, this time I was served from the same pot.

Zhao Yiping was not polite and took out 5 yuan from his pocket and put it on the table, "Chen Qi, this rabbit is really fat. I want it. You keep the money. The teacher will not give it to you for free."

Chen Qi picked up the money and was about to put it into Teacher Zhao's pocket, "Students should respect their teachers, how can they accept money?"

This is what he said sincerely, he really didn’t want to sell it for money.

Zhao Yiping grabbed the money and threw it on the table:

"Nonsense, now is a new society, how can a teacher take something from a student for nothing? Besides, I know you are from a rural area, and it is not easy for your family to support your studies. Keep the money well. There will be many places where you will need it after you graduate.

."

Teacher Xia Qiang next to him also picked up a dried rabbit and quickly took out 5 yuan from his pocket.

"Just keep what the teacher gives you. When you graduate and become a principal, you can come back to school and treat the teachers to drinks and dinner. We will definitely not pay for it, haha."

After a while, all 5 chickens and 5 rabbits were bought by the teachers.

40 yuan was left in Chen Qi's hand, which made Chen Qi dumbfounded, "Teacher Li, look at this..."

Li Baotian patted his shoulder:

"Just keep the money. The teachers are also kind-hearted. Besides, they won't suffer any loss. What they give you is the market price. Alas, it's a pity that such a good Longjing is missing several taels all of a sudden. I feel so distressed.

By the way, where did you get Longjing tea and so many chickens and rabbits?"

Chen Qi didn't keep it secret either, and told about his guest appearance as a surgeon during the summer vacation to treat the villagers.

As for where the surgical instruments came from, he said that he had relatives in the commune health center and borrowed them from there, and the lie was fulfilled.

"So, these things are given by the villagers, and this tea is also given by the head of the village next door, otherwise my family would not have this thing."

Li Baotian was a little shocked after hearing this:

"You're such a genius in surgery. You have such little knowledge from books and you haven't even practiced yet, yet you dare to perform minor surgical operations? Well, well, well, you're so awesome. You deserve to earn extra money."

This greatly exceeded Li Baotian's expectations. He couldn't help but be amazed at his student's courage. At the same time, he realized again that this was definitely a good candidate for surgery. Being bold and careful has a good foundation.

Fortunately, it was the early 1980s. If in later generations, outsiders heard about it, they would be the first to report Chen Qi for illegally practicing medicine, and then he was severely punished by the patients.

After coming out of the teacher's office, he rushed to the cafeteria to have lunch.

It's already late, I guess all the other students eating have left.

By the time he ran to the cafeteria, the stalls were almost closed. Fortunately, everyone knew the name of monitor Chen. Students with good grades were always given extra treatment.

"Aunt Sun, hey, wait a minute, I haven't eaten yet."

"Hey, isn't this Chen Qi? Are you here to eat just now? You must be studying hard and forgetting about time, right?"

Seeing the confident look on Aunt Sun's face, Chen Qi could only nod awkwardly, "Yeah, I'm just here to read."

Aunt Sun took Chen Qi's lunch box:

"Still the old rules? Three taels of rice and one vegetarian dish? Let me tell you, you are lucky today, the meat dishes are not sold out. Come on, aunt has made the decision and will serve you a bowl."

"Hi, Aunt Sun, you are really my mother, thank you so much."

"Really, haha, when did you become so sweet? Here, come on, go and eat."

Everyone likes to hear good words, especially hearing good words from a "student", which makes Aunt Sun in the cafeteria feel full of accomplishment.

Chen Qi was also in a particularly beautiful mood. This bowl of fried tofu and roasted pork, although there wasn’t much meat, had a meaty taste and was full of happiness.

Just when he turned around after carrying a few dishes, he was very surprised to find that Lan Lijuan was also there, eating in a corner.

A rare opportunity.

Chen Qi walked over with his food and sat down opposite Lan Lijuan.

Lan Lijuan was eating and reading at the same time. She didn't notice it for a while, but she was shocked when she found someone sitting across from her.

"Chen Qi, you..."

Chen Qi saw Lan Lijuan's meal and frowned: "You just use these bamboo shoots to cook? Why didn't you even buy a vegetarian dish?"

Lan Lijuan's eyes dimmed for a moment, but she still said with a smile on her face:

"Dried bamboo shoots are delicious. Aren't you also from the mountains? Our mountains are the best gift to mankind. They are the best for eating. My mother made them myself. Do you want to try them?"

Chen Qi was a man of two generations, so of course he immediately realized the reason.

Like him, Lan Lijuan's family is also in a mountainous area. As you can imagine, the life of people in the mountains is even more difficult. If you still have to provide for one student to go to school, then your family will basically be in ruins.
