Chemistry teacher Guo Ran fulfilled his promise yesterday and gave Xue Yuantong many snacks, including pecans, dried mangoes, dried strawberries, and beef jerky.
Xue Yuantong was so happy that since the morning self-study, she would take out a snack from time to time and secretly stuff it into her mouth.
Jiang Ning pinched a pecan fruit. The creamy pecan fruit tastes good. It tastes a little sweet and has a crisp texture. Children love to eat it.
The only thing is that it's not easy to peel. The nuts are too brittle. Even if you use walnut crackers, they will easily break when peeled.
Xue Yuantong peeled two of them with bare hands, and the kernels were all broken into pieces. She secretly competed with the pecans there to peel off the most complete kernels.
Jiang Ning activated her spiritual power and walked around the inside of the pecan, peeling off the kernels perfectly.
He placed the complete and plump nuts in front of Xue Yuantong with a smile on his face.
"Wow, how did you peel it off?" Xue Yuantong said in surprise.
Jiang Ning said: "It's very simple."
He took another pecan from the bag and demonstrated it again. He gently broke it with one hand and quietly used his spiritual power to pull the kernels out of the shell.
Xue Yuantong couldn't take her eyes away. She felt she understood this miraculous scene, but she didn't understand anything.
"What?" She pinched the pecan and tried hard, but the pecan didn't move.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Jiang Ning gave two pecan nuts to Xue Yuantong and said:
"If you want to eat it, I'll peel it for you."
Shan Kaiquan, who was in the front row, heard the noise and turned his head:
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Ning grabbed six pecans and gave them to him: "We are peeling these, give half of them to Bai Yuxia."
"What's this?"
"Walnuts?"
Shan Kaiquan said doubtfully, this was the first time he had seen it.
Beacon is not cheap, costing tens of yuan per pound. Many people in big cities may be tired of eating it and think it is nothing unusual.
In later generations, it became an Internet celebrity nut, but during this period, people in small towns like Yuzhou, especially people like Shan Kaiquan who came from rural areas, had never eaten it, or even seen it.
For example, pork jerky, a popular Internet celebrity food in later generations, was not eaten by many people in an era when online shopping was not popular. The pork jerky that many people ate for the first time often came from a certain Internet celebrity squirrel and a certain store.
"These are pecans."
"Oh." Shan Kaiquan didn't rush to ask. Instead, he gave the pecans to Bai Yuxia. He gave four of the six fruits to Bai Yuxia and kept two for himself.
He said to Bai Yuxia: "Jiang Ning gave us two."
While talking, he deliberately showed off the two pecans in his hand, hoping that she would notice his little thoughts and know that he was willing to give up most of them to her.
Bai Yuxia didn't think so much at all. She had eaten pecans before, although she found it a bit difficult to peel them. She had nothing to do during her self-study right now, so she could just peel them off.
Xue Yuantong told them: "Jiang Ning is very good at peeling pecans."
She opened her palm and found a complete nut inside.
Shan Kaiquan didn't think it was anything, but Bai Yuxia looked at the nuts and felt a little envious. Such complete nuts must be very satisfying to eat in one bite.
It's a pity that she can't peel it off to that extent.
"This peel is really good, but it's very difficult." Bai Yuxia commented.
"Hahaha, this was peeled off by Jiang Ning. He was so good at peeling it off in one go." Xue Yuantong showed off.
Shan Kaiquan listened and blurted out:
"Bai Yuxia, I'll peel it off for you!"
He caught a pecan and went up to work on it.
However, it was Shan Kaiquan's first time to eat pecans, and he was so impatient that the nuts broke into pieces.
He felt that he had lost face, so he continued to peel off the second one. This time he was much more careful, but two corners were still broken.
Shan Kaiquan's heart was broken and he missed the opportunity to perform.
Disappointed, he reluctantly ate a piece of nuts and found that they were quite delicious, and he felt much better.
…
noon.
Xue Yuantong suggested: "Jiang Ning, it's too cold outside today. We won't go home to cook. We will eat outside."
"It's really cold," she added.
Jiang Ning glanced at her sideways, feeling that he had been slighted. He used his magic power to keep Xue Yuantong warm. With his level of control over his magic power, Leng? Absolutely impossible!
"You are cold, you are lazy." He said.
Xue Yuantong argued: "I don't. I'm really cold. Stop talking and go eat quickly."
"Fine."
Jiang Ning took Xue Yuantong to the last hotel. What was different from the past was that there was now a dining car in front of the hotel, with large black characters written on the white paper on the car:
"Two meat and two vegetables, 8 yuan."
The landlady was standing by the dining car serving food. When she saw Jiang Ning and the two of them, she smiled and asked them what they were eating today.
Although Jiang Ning doesn't come here often, the landlady has a good impression of the two of them. The boy is handsome, the girl is cute, and the prices of the dishes she orders are relatively high.
Jiang Ning has no intention of eating box lunches. He has eaten box lunches for many years. Now that the conditions are better, he can upgrade it a little.
Xue Yuantong tugged on his sleeve: "Jiang Ning, let's have lunch."
She ate too much during the day and was not hungry.
"Boss, two lunch boxes." Jiang Ning said.
"Okay, let's see what dishes we choose."
The two of them chose the dishes and took them to the restaurant to eat.
Ma Shicheng and his party arrived belatedly. Recently, the boss launched box lunches, and they came more frequently. They came here to eat almost every day and became regular customers.
Although it is more convenient to go to the school cafeteria, the food in the No. 4 Middle School cafeteria is not delicious.
The cafeteria is rented out by a big boss. It's not like a university cafeteria. There are various gourmet restaurants competing with each other.
There are no competitors in the No. 4 Middle School cafeteria, there is only one general cafeteria. Anyway, no matter what it is made, students will eat it, and the business is good, so it does not pay attention to taste.
Ma Shicheng used to find it a bit expensive to eat out, but since the boss launched lunch boxes, you can eat more dishes for less money, which is really affordable.
When Ma Shicheng, Shan Kaiquan, and Guo Kunnan saw Jiang Ning, they said hello and came in with their meals.
Ma Shicheng was a little surprised to see Jiang Ning eating a box lunch today. He met Jiang Ning here several times, and each time he and Xue Yuantong ate stir-fried vegetables.
Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning were sitting across from each other. She was halfway through eating and couldn't eat anymore.
‘Oops, I ate too many snacks in the morning.’ Xue Yuantong said secretly.
She has never had the habit of wasting food. She would eat rice even if she couldn't finish it, putting rice into her mouth in small bites.
By this time, Jiang Ning had almost eaten.
Xue Yuantong was still scratching there.
She took a bite, raised her head, and looked at Jiang Ning pitifully, hoping that he could help.
Jiang Ning felt funny in her heart and deliberately avoided her gaze and looked at Ma Shicheng and the others who were chatting. It seemed that they were talking about buying gifts on Christmas Eve.
When Xue Yuantong saw Jiang Ning not looking at her, she swallowed a few mouthfuls of rice, but she couldn't eat any more. Her good moral character prevented her from wasting food.
She was cruel and pushed the rice plate towards Jiang Ning just like she used to eat with her mother.
Xue Yuantong raised his face and said in the most arrogant tone: "Humph, Jiang Ning, you must not have eaten enough. In order to prevent you from being hungry in the afternoon, I will share some of the food with you."
Jiang Ning turned her head and looked at Xue Yuantong. Her hair was pulled behind her ears, revealing a delicate little face, her beautiful eyes were charming, and her lips were moisturized.
Jiang Ning stared at her lips, which were more beautiful than any lipstick he had ever seen.
Jiang Ning said deliberately: "Is this really good? Eat half of it and give it to me. Are you salivating?"
Xue Yuantong broke through the power in one second and lowered his head: "Eat it from you, where do you come from so many words..."
Jiang Ning sighed and poked the rice plate with her chopsticks.
