Mr. Zhuang rarely talked about things when he was young, but this time he was not restrained. He leaned back and told them some interesting things about his school days.
Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "When I was studying, I was alone. Unlike you who have company and are so naughty, there are so many interesting things. As a teacher, I just remember that we have to grab some classics, and we need them after class every day.
I rushed to the library, grabbed the books first, and then asked someone to help me go to the cafeteria to get some food. After reading the books for half an hour, I was so hungry that I returned the books and went out to eat..."
Bai Shan said: "Then you have to have a good friend in the same school."
Anyway, from what he saw, there were very few people in his class who prepared meals for others in advance.
Mr. Zhuang paused for a moment before nodding and said: "Yes, we all came in turns at that time. Some students accidentally lost their signs and could not enter the library. Finally, we quietly opened the window near the back door of the library.
Open it and let him crawl in through there."
Bai Shan opened his mouth wide.
Mr. Zhuang laughed and said, "You haven't been there very often, so you haven't found that window yet?"
Bai Shan nodded, "Aren't all the windows in the library closed?"
"Yes, except at certain times, the windows in the library are generally closed and cannot be opened, except for that window, because that window is right at the corner of the back door and there are no bookshelves there," Mr. Zhuang said with a smile.
: "There are no books. Even if the windows there are loose, the government will not take care of them. I don't know if they have been repaired now."
Whether it has been repaired or not, you will know when you go back and take a look.
The three masters and apprentices just talked like this. Daji, who was driving the car in front, felt very confused when he heard the content.
At noon, Zhou Lang found a shaded area that was particularly suitable for resting and stopped, unloaded the carriage and let the horses rest.
Manbao and the others took it upon themselves to take out the lunch prepared by the family, and the Bai family prepared a small stove for them to boil water, which they usually use to make tea.
Now you can heat up your lunch.
Bai Shan opened the food box and took out the folded bamboo cage. Daji put a pot on it, took out a bamboo tube and poured the soup into it, and then lit a fire...
Bai Shan put the small bamboo cage on the pot.
Man Bao was dumbfounded, and it took him a while to realize what he was doing. He shouted, "This is good, this is good. From now on, we will always bring food like this when we go out."
Man Bao praised him, "How did your family come up with this?"
Bai Shan said proudly: "My mother came up with this. She said that I lost weight when I came back from a trip. I must have lost weight due to hunger on the road, so I worked with the cook at home for several days to come up with it. Isn't it exquisite?
"
Man Bao nodded repeatedly, "It's so exquisite."
Zhou Lijun had already opened the lid of the urn that Xuxu was holding, poured some cold water from the water bag, and then took out the noodles.
Although a morning has passed, the noodles are not sticky or broken, and the roots are still clear.
Put the noodles in a bowl, open the small jar and pour out the minced meat. Because the jar is sealed and the time is short, it is still hot.
Just after opening the can, everyone smelled a tangy fragrance, which was even more fragrant than the old soup that had been boiled before.
The few people who were surrounding the small stove subconsciously moved towards Zhou Lijun.
Zhou Lang put the car away and tied the horse, then turned around to help.
Put some minced meat and a little sweet sauce in each bowl, stir well and eat it. It is refreshing and fragrant. Manbao is very happy, and everyone is also very happy.
Daji watched the fire while eating noodles. After a while, he took away the small bamboo cage and filled a bowl of soup for everyone. He also brought a bamboo tube and poured in a pot of cold soup and continued to heat it.
After finishing the noodles, we drank half a bowl of soup. The steamed buns in the small bamboo cage were also hot, and everyone shared them.
In addition to the steamed buns, there are also steamed vegetables in the food box, which can be placed in the steamer to be heated up and eaten. However, Mr. Zhuang took a look at the noodles they had already eaten and said decisively: "You can't eat them when they are hot, so you should keep them for later."
Let’s eat it tonight.”
Bai Erlang buried his head in eating noodles. He nodded repeatedly when he heard the words. After finishing a bowl, he stretched his bowl towards Zhou Lijun and said, "I want more."
Zhou Lijun moved his body and said, "Do it yourself."
Man Bao curiously asked Bai Erlang, "Bai Er, where is your food?"
Bai Erlang waved his hand and said: "There is no need to take mine out. My grandmother made me a lot of snacks to take with me. The only thing that fills my stomach is naan bread."
Man Bao lost interest.
Bai Shan asked curiously: "What kind of snacks are there?"
"There is your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake, do you want it?"
Bai Shan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, please give it to me later."
He glanced at Man Bao and asked, "Are there any glutinous rice cakes?"
"No, grandma said that eating glutinous rice in summer will make you sleepy and bad for your stomach, but she asked someone to make chestnut cake."
Chestnut cake was Man Bao's favorite. She raised her head and smiled at Bai Erlang.
Bai Shan put the two small buns in the bowl into the Manbao bowl and said, "The chestnut cake won't taste good when it's cold. I'd better wait until I get back to Yizhou City and let the cook make it."
Bai Erlang said: "The sweet-scented osmanthus cake doesn't taste good when it's cold."
"Give it to me if you don't want to eat it," Zhou Lang said, "I don't mind even if you don't eat it."
Bai Erlang: "Brother Zhou, you have eaten too much. This is your third bowl of noodles."
Zhou Lang: "I'm growing."
Everyone:......
Seeing their disbelief, Zhou Lang stood up and said, "Didn't you notice that I'm high again?"
Man Bao looked at it carefully and shook his head, "I didn't see it."
Mr. Zhuang laughed and said, "I have grown taller. You didn't see it because you have also grown taller, so you can't show it."
Zhou Lang squatted back again and said, "I'm growing taller, so I need to eat more."
After Man Bao finished eating the buns, he thought for a moment and stretched out his bowl and said, "I'm growing tall too."
Zhou Lang knocked on her bowl and said, "That's almost enough. My sister-in-law told me before leaving the house that you are not allowed to eat too much on the road. What if you vomit and get sick?"
Man Bao touched his belly and took back his hand regretfully.
Everyone had a delicious lunch, rested for a while, and then got in the car and continued walking.
Different from when they went home, they had to enter the city gate this time, so they couldn't rest for too long, otherwise they would miss the time to enter the city and they would have to camp outside the city gate all night.
Manbao doesn't mind sleeping in the open, but he does mind sleeping outside the city gate. The smell there is really...
Of course Daji and Zhoulang knew this, so they silently increased their speed and finally entered the city before the city gate closed.
The cook who stayed in the small courtyard knew that they would be back today, so she prepared hot food and hot water early. Even though it was only a day's journey, Manbao still felt very tired due to the bumpy ride, especially in the afternoon when it was so hot.
So she had no appetite at all.
Zhou Lang had already expected it and said: "You sit down for a while and drink some hot water. If you really don't want to eat, I will give you a bowl of noodles later."
Bai Shan looked at her and said, "Think about the ice cream from Mi Xin Tang."
Manbao's eyes brightened slightly, and the suffocation in her heart subsided a little. She said, "I'm just hot."
Bai Shan: "So let's go to Mi Xin Tang for a walk tomorrow?"
Man Bao smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Okay, okay."
