Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 125: Food Is the God of the People
Ye Zhi knew Little Fairy’s thoughts but didn’t expose them.
Huanhuan believed it, "Last time, I heard from a classmate at Qi Yun Courtyard that the State Preceptor was seen spitting blood. You’re lucky to be a princess, taking care of him is his blessing, fortune and prosperity, let’s see if you can help him get better."
Little Fairy smiled sweetly, "Mm."
Gu Xinru from dorm 128, due to her personality not matching with Ye Zhi and Huanhuan, requested the dorm manager to move to dorm 132.
With an empty spot available, Ye Zhi immediately suggested bringing Little Fairy over to live together.
From then on, the friendship in dorm 128 became even stronger!
As the year-end approached, the weather turned colder. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
The students studying at the Imperial College were either rich or noble, mostly from affluent families. When the weather got cold, four Green Crane Porcelain Nine-Turn Top Furnaces were brought into the study room, with burning charcoal inside, it didn’t feel cold.
Even though the charcoal provided warmth, if the air didn’t circulate, it could cause symptoms of poisoning. Therefore, whenever the charcoal was burning, the doors and windows in the study room had to be opened for ventilation.
The doors and windows only needed to be half-opened, no need to open them completely. The students didn’t need to worry about this; it was all handled by the Teachers.
This midday,
Shen Chen, Li Qian, Ji Changzhou, Ye Zhi, Huanhuan, and Little Fairy, all went to the dining establishment for lunch together.
Queuing, getting their meals, looking for a seat, it took quite a while to settle down.
Huanhuan had a dramatic expression on her face, "Ah, finally got my food, took a lot of effort, didn’t expect the seniors to be faster than us, eating is like going to war every time. Luckily, I got my favorite, Three Ways Duck."
Ye Zhi felt quite the same, "If you’re slow, your favorite dishes are gone."
Three Ways Duck is a Huaiyang dish, made by deboning a domestic duck, deboning a slab duck, stuffing it into the domestic duck’s belly, and steaming it until extremely tender, served whole.
Recently, Shishang Residence employed a chef from Yangzhou who made many authentic dishes, making Huanhuan so enchanted she wished to eat hometown cuisine three times a day, making frequent trips to the dining establishment. As she said, "Food is the most important thing for the people."
Ji Changzhou was seated closest to Huanhuan, right beside her, watching her eat with relish, he wanted to try the taste too.
But he felt too shy to ask.
He was just a moment too late, and the Three Ways Duck was all taken.
"Here, eat."
Speak of the devil, some crispy duck meat was placed onto his plate.
"Mm-hmm."
Huanhuan saw the look in Changzhou’s eyes and knew what he was thinking.
Li Qian seeing this scenario, stared at the sweet and sour ribs on Ye Zhi’s plate, like a child earnestly wanting candy.
It wasn’t that he wanted to eat particularly, just if Sister Ye Zhi gave him some food, their relationship would grow closer.
The girl with the remarkable hairstyle ate happily without noticing any gazes on her~
"Sister Ye Zhi."
Only when she heard the little boy speak did she react, with her mouth full of food, she mumbled a response, "Huh?"
Chewing and swallowing her mouthful, she then managed to say a complete sentence, "Xiao Qian, what’s up?"
This caught everyone’s attention, focusing on Li Qian.
Under so many gazes, Li Qian felt shy but managed to speak, albeit bashfully, "That sweet and sour rib, can you give me a piece? I want to taste it."
Ye Zhi was generous, "Sure, I’ll give you some, if you don’t mind."
Saying this, she started to reach her chopsticks to pick it up for him.
The portions given by the dining establishment were generous, ensuring the students had enough to eat, and if not, they could go back for more.
The popular dishes were limited, once they were finished, you had to wait till the next meal.
