If I ask you to set up a stall, why do you always run to deserted places?

Liu Xiang dragged Zhou Hongyuan along as they walked towards the cafeteria.

He kept praising her as he walked, which annoyed Zhou Hongyuan.

"That's enough, Lao Liu, didn't you take money from them?"

Zhou Hongyuan's face was full of doubt.

Hearing a couple of sentences is fine, but Old Liu seems to have lost his mind.

You keep praising me, and it never ends, right?

"I already told you, you'll know once you try it."

Liu Xiang grabbed him and walked very fast.

"Come on, I've seen that Master Su you're talking about on Douyin."

Zhou Hongyuan scoffed, convinced he had seen through all the tricks.

"That kid's all scripted, Lao Liu. You're an educator, how can you believe this stuff?"

"Zhou Hongyuan, you're so stubborn, don't change your mind later."

Liu Xiang didn't even glance at him.

"It smells so good? How is that possible?"

Zhou Hongyuan was extremely disdainful.

He has eaten at more restaurants than Lao Liu has taught his students.

If he were truly captivated by a minor internet celebrity's fragrance, he might just eat the table on the spot.

By this time, the cafeteria had become quite lively.

Although the midday rush hour was more than halfway over.

But there were still about forty people lined up in front of Su Yun's window.

The air was filled with a rich, caramelized aroma, mingling with the smoky smell of cooking pots and pans.

"Holy crap, what's that smell?"

Before Zhou Hongyuan even stepped into the cafeteria, he couldn't help but curse.

This smells really good!

He also went through high school.

But I've never seen a school cafeteria where you can smell the delicious aroma even before you enter.

"Hey, a new dish today? Sweet and sour pork tenderloin stir-fried with pork intestines..."

Liu Xiang, familiar with the routine, pulled Lao Zhou to stand at the end of the line.

"Old Zhou, you've come at a lucky time! They even have goji berry and black chicken soup today!"

"Goji berry and black chicken soup? Who drinks that?" Zhou

Hongyuan muttered reluctantly.

"With so many dishes on the menu, can he manage to cook them all by himself?"

He hadn't finished speaking yet.

Someone walked past him carrying a bowl of black chicken soup.

The soup bowl is filled with goji berries and soft, glutinous yams.

The black-boned chicken is stewed until the meat separates from the bone, and the steam carrying the aroma of medicinal herbs hits you right in the face.

Zhou Hongyuan silently sniffed twice.

This cafeteria is really bizarre. Not only do they serve students black chicken soup, but they also bring goji berries!

Is this because they're worried about students having kidney deficiency?

It's obvious at a glance that this young man is inexperienced!

Zhou Hongyuan had already sentenced Su Yun to death in his mind.

The team moved faster than expected.

Su Yun's movements were fluid and seamless, with almost no pauses.

When it was Zhou Hongyuan's turn...

Liu Xiang spoke first, "Master Su, give me a sweet and sour pork rice bowl, and give me extra rice."

"Okay, all you can eat."

Zhou Hongyuan stood on tiptoe and peered out the window.

"And you?" Su Yun looked up at Zhou Hongyuan.

The two people's eyes met in the air for a fleeting moment.

Zhou Hongyuan hadn't even had a chance to speak.

Su Yun's brow twitched almost imperceptibly.

Once you enter the cafeteria, it doesn't matter if you're a student or a teacher.

The hungry student's perception talent is automatically activated.

For patients with severe kidney deficiency, it is recommended to immediately use aphrodisiacs and kidney tonics!

Good guy.

Su Yun exclaimed, "Wow!"

Severe kidney deficiency?

Shouldn't we have ten bowls of black chicken and wolfberry soup to replenish our bodies?

"I don't know what to eat."

Zhou Hongyuan seemed very hesitant.

It's not because he wants to eat everything, but because he doesn't want to eat anything.

This stuff smells good, but who knows what kind of additives might have been put in it?

Otherwise, how could the business be so booming?

"Okay, stir-fried pork intestines over rice, right?" Su Yun nodded directly.

"Hey, I didn't order anything." Zhou Hongyuan was taken aback.

"Stop talking, you're already here, I know you like this kind of food." Su Yun directly served him a bowl of rice.

Before Zhou Hongyuan could even refuse, a bowl of rice was already in his hand.

He was immediately dumbfounded. "Wow, you're way too fast!"

This is not enough.

Su Yun took a large bowl from the stove next to her and ladled it full of wolfberry and black chicken soup.

Then he stuffed them all into Zhou Hongyuan's hand, saying, "Here you go."

"???"

Zhou Hongyuan looked down at the soup.

The goji berries were soaked until they were plump and swollen, and the yam chunks were cooked until they were translucent. The soup was golden and clear.

He was immediately confused. "I didn't order soup, so this..."

You don't look too well.

Su Yun had already turned around to greet the next student, and said without turning her head, "It's obvious that you have kidney deficiency. I suggest you take some tonics."

"???"

The air froze instantly.

Zhou Hongyuan almost coughed up blood, looking completely bewildered.

No!

I haven't even said anything yet!

He subconsciously touched his lower back.

He glanced again at Liu Xiang, who was trying so hard to suppress his laughter that his mouth was cramping.

"How...how did he know?"

"puff!"

Liu Xiang finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

"Alright, Lao Zhou, Master Su said you should get some nourishment, so go ahead and get some."

"I fucking..."

Zhou Hongyuan's face turned red instantly, and he didn't know whether to walk or sit down while carrying the soup.

"Slander! This is pure slander!"

but.....

He also felt guilty.

Because he has indeed been working overtime and staying up late a lot in the past six months.

I have lower back pain and feel lethargic.

His wife scolded him a lot at night.

It would be too embarrassing to tell anyone, so he has never mentioned it to anyone.

The young man saw it immediately!

This is too weird, isn't it?

Several boys in line nearby couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

"The boss has a sharp eye!"

"That's right! That teacher was just about to make sarcastic remarks, but now she's completely silent!"

"One sentence from him can warm his heart for half a day!"

"Master Su has such high emotional intelligence!"

"....."

Zhou Hongyuan wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground, so he grabbed his tray and ran off.

Liu Xiang was still smiling.

"Alright, alright, stop laughing."

Zhou Hongyuan glared at him, annoyed. "Fine, I'll eat it, okay?"

He looked down at the goji berry and black chicken soup, and then, as if possessed, picked it up and took a sip.

"Um?"

The piping hot broth, coated with the creamy texture of yam and the rich flavor of black-boned chicken, slides down your throat, warm and comforting.

A warm feeling rose from my stomach.

Zhou Hongyuan felt himself standing tall again.

He took another big gulp, this time putting the yam and goji berries into his mouth together.

The yam was stewed until it was very soft and tender, melting in your mouth.

"How is it?" Liu Xiang asked eagerly. "Isn't it delicious? I wasn't lying to you, was I?"

"It's not bad." Zhou Hongyuan nodded.

To be honest, the goji berries were very slightly sweet with a pleasant aftertaste, and the black-boned chicken was stewed until it was so tender that it fell off the bone. One bite was incredibly satisfying.

Zhou Hongyuan had made his wife endure hardship before.

But the taste after cooking it was simply indescribable.

It's worlds apart from this.

The whole bowl of soup, with its warm, medicinal aroma, slid down my esophagus.

It felt like soaking in warm water.

It feels very comfortable.

"Try eating some pork intestines."

Zhou Hongyuan picked up his chopsticks.

......

At the entrance to the reception room.

"Seriously? Are you kidding me?"

"We're here for academic exchange, not to beg for food!"

"You gave me a bunk bed, a four-person room, and not even a private bathroom?!"

Jiang Wenwen stood at the dormitory door, arms crossed, her face filled with anger.

She was absolutely furious!

I have been pampered since childhood and have never lived in a school dormitory.

I'm here for this exchange only to complete the teacher's assignment!

She originally thought...

The school here doesn't even bother to book them a five-star luxury hotel.

At the very least, you should book a Ji Hotel, right? Or even a regular hotel would be fine!

And what happened? The teachers here just let them live in the school dormitories?

Moreover, it's a four-person room with bunk beds and even a shared bathroom!

Jiang Wenwen broke down instantly!

She can't accept even a little bit!

The local teachers are so unruly!

Don't you even know the basic etiquette of hospitality?

"Teacher Wang, is your school treating us like students undergoing military training?"

Teacher Wang's face was pale, but she managed to maintain a smile.

"Student Jiang, although our school's hospitality is a bit simple, we have everything you need. The bed sheets and blankets are all newly changed."

"You call this frugality?"

Jiang Wenwen interrupted her directly, pointing to the old-fashioned air conditioner by the window.

"This air conditioner looks older than me, is it even usable?"

"And what's with these four beds? Are you telling us to play mahjong here tonight?"

Her voice was quite loud.

Several students passing by in the corridor couldn't help but turn around and take a look.

Teacher Wang's face turned pale and then red, and her lips twitched.

Is there a problem with four people staying in the same room? Probably not!

Peking University and Tsinghua University both have this kind of accommodation! What else would you want to live in?

This is already the best hospitality their school can offer!

As a result, none of these top students were satisfied!

Although the others didn't curse, their faces were full of disgust.

Teacher Wang was truly at her wit's end.

"Student Jiang, our school's resources are indeed limited, but this exchange program was arranged by the city..."

"So we deserve to live in this kind of place because the city arranged it for us?"

Jiang Wenwen got more and more excited as she spoke, "When our school arranges exchange activities, at least we stay in three-star hotels!"

"And you guys, you just threw him into this doghouse!"

"Do you guys think we top students are easy to fool?"

The air froze instantly.

Niu Bayi stood to the side, his lips slightly pursed.

Although he didn't say anything, he also felt that the dormitory conditions were not good.

To know.

The mattress in his own bedroom is a custom-made latex mattress.

Now they're making us sleep on wooden planks?

Won't my back ache terribly if I sleep like this at night?

Song Jin nodded and whispered to the classmate next to her.

"This lousy school has truly broadened my understanding of what a terrible school can be!"

"Yeah! It's a good thing I'm not a student at this school, otherwise, living in an environment like this every day, how could anyone concentrate on studying?"

"Exactly!"

"....."

"Jiang, calm down." Teacher Wang wanted to explain, but Jiang Wenwen didn't give her a chance.

"Calm down? How can I calm down?"

Jiang Wenwen stood with her hands on her hips, her tone sharp, "I came all this way for exchange and learning, not to live a life of hardship!"

"If you can't afford to entertain us, just say so. I'll have my parents book a hotel outside, so we don't have to suffer here!"

Footsteps approached from the end of the corridor.

"What's going on? What are you arguing about?"

Principal Qian had a stern face, with Dean of Students Liu Benjian standing beside him.

They were just passing by the teaching building.

I heard some noise over here.

To my surprise, when I came over, I saw that Teacher Wang was actually being confronted by a student and his face was completely red.

"headmaster."

Teacher Wang saw Principal Qian breathe a sigh of relief, but then felt that things were going to be difficult.

If the matter were brought to the principal's attention, she, the teacher in charge of receiving the students, would lose face.

Principal Qian glanced at the situation at the dormitory entrance and then looked at the expressions of several top students.

I have a general idea in mind.

He cleared his throat.

"My friend, the guesthouse is indeed basic, but it's also..."

"Shut up!" Jiang Wenwen showed him no mercy and went all out.

Principal Qian's lips twitched slightly.

In all his years as a principal, this was the first time he had been confronted so harshly by a student.

Especially students from other schools.

Good guy!

Are top students this arrogant these days?

However, Principal Qian felt aggrieved, but he couldn't show it out loud!

After all, they were all qualified for direct admission, and he really couldn't afford to offend them!

Jiang Wenwen is still contributing.

"Jiang, we'll figure out how to coordinate the accommodation issue later."

Teacher Wang's eyes darted around, and she quickly tried to smooth things over.

"How about we go to the cafeteria for lunch first?"

"The cafeteria, yes, yes!"

Principal Qian's eyes lit up as he thought of something. "Let's go to the cafeteria first. The food is ready; it won't taste good if it gets cold."

"I won't eat!" Jiang Wenwen showed them no respect whatsoever, letting out a cold laugh and speaking with unwavering resolve.

"I glanced at the cafeteria when I passed by just now. The environment was messy, and the lines were so long. What good food can you expect to get there?"

"Exactly! The queues are like during the Spring Festival travel rush, and students are having trouble even getting a meal. This school is absolutely terrible!"

"That's right, I can't even imagine how much the principal must have embezzled!"

Others also started discussing it.

Teacher Wang was so speechless that he couldn't say a word.

The atmosphere turned cold again.

"Wenwen."

Niu Bayi glanced at Jiang Wenwen, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke up to smooth things over.

"Since we're already here, why don't we go to the cafeteria first and see if the food is good? We'll figure something else out if it's not."

Jiang Wenwen glanced at him and snorted coldly.

"I'm not going!"

"...I'm a little hungry, let's go check it out first, Wenwen."

Song Jin put down her phone.

He was really too lazy to argue here.

Anyway, after all the arguing, these principals and teachers are all incredibly stingy.

Arguing like this will definitely not yield any results.

It would be better to finish the meal quickly so they can find an excuse to leave.

Song Jin strode towards the stairwell.

Niu Bayi took two steps, then looked back at Jiang Wenwen, who was standing still, and said.

"Wenwen, you're really not going?"

"I'm not going." Jiang Wenwen's tone was firm and resolute.

"Alright."

Niu Bayi stopped trying to persuade him and turned to follow Song Jin and the others downstairs.

Teacher Wang quickly followed.

After the group of people left.

Jiang Wenwen stomped her foot in anger.

"Who do you people think you are! A bunch of poor losers! You're only fit to eat in the cafeteria for the rest of your lives!"

......

Zhou Hongyuan was chewing on the fatty intestines with a look of astonishment on his face.

The large intestine was cleaned very thoroughly.

It was cut into even circles and coated with a thick sauce.

When you chew it in your mouth, it has a chewy, resilient texture.

Immediately afterwards, the aroma of the oil seeped out.

Zhou Hongyuan was completely dumbfounded.

How did you clean these intestines so thoroughly?

Isn't that too unauthentic?

Was it intentional or accidental?

But.....

The taste was surprisingly good!

"How was it? Not bad, right?" Liu Xiang looked at him with a smile.

Zhou Hongyuan nodded subconsciously, then picked up another piece of food with his chopsticks.

This time, I shoveled the rice into my mouth along with the food.

So refreshing, so very refreshing!

"Old Liu."

Zhou Hongyuan chewed for a moment, then suddenly said, "I think I really feel like something's not right."

"Something's not right. Let's go over it in detail!"

Liu Xiang's eyes lit up. "Don't you feel like your brain has become smarter?"

"No, that's not it," Zhou Hongyuan said somewhat embarrassedly. "It's just that my kidneys feel better."

Liu Xiang:...

"Then eat some more."

Zhou Hongyuan nodded and started eating his meal.

Just then.

Niu Bayi and several other top students also entered the cafeteria.
