College students of any era are full of curiosity about unknown things, just like the silly roe deer in the Northeast.
Lin Sanqi originally planned to peel a grapefruit for the college students to try, but in the end he had to sacrifice both grapefruits in his hand to escape.
Pan Ye took the grapefruit peel and smelled it, then shouted in surprise:
"Lin Sanqi, what kind of fruit is this? It smells refreshing, much better than oranges."
"This is called grapefruit. I brought it back from Guangqi. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the peel of grapefruit is sweet and warm in nature. It has the effects of resolving phlegm, relieving cough, regulating qi, and relieving pain. It can be used as medicine when dried. ”
Lin Sanqi then threw the grapefruit peel into the trash can, which made Pan Ye feel a little disappointed.
Girls all like fruits, especially fruits that have never been tasted before. Now that the pulp has been snatched away by her classmates, she has nothing to eat.
But girls are reserved, and it was impossible for Pan Ye to say it. Instead, he smiled and said:
"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."
Lin Sanqi chuckled: "You go and line up for food, and I'll get something from the car."
Ten minutes later, when Pan Ye came over with four steamed buns and a bowl of cabbage and meat slices, Lin Sanqi was already sitting at the dining table in the cafeteria:
"This way, this way!"
Pan Ye sat down and saw several aluminum lunch boxes on the table, as well as two large grapefruits and tangerines, and he felt happy:
"Yeah, you still have these grapefruits and oranges, but I'm sorry, I can only treat you to cabbage and boiled meat slices, and this steamed bun."
Lin Sanqi took a closer look and saw that the cornbread was made of stick noodles, which gave her a sore throat.
It is said that it is boiled pork slices with Chinese cabbage. In fact, there is not even a drop of oil in the soup. A few thin slices of meat are mixed in the dish, as if you can blow it with your breath. This knife skill must be the same as that of the Lanzhou ramen master. learned.
This meal is really about color, fragrance, and taste.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the knife master in your cafeteria must be from Qinghai. Look at how thin the slices of meat are. His knife skills are so good."
Pan Ye burst out laughing:
"It would be nice to have sliced meat. We can only eat it once a month in our school. Look, the old professors are also queuing up there. That one is our vice principal..."
Lin Sanqi thought the same thing. Being able to eat steamed buns for every meal in 1959 and still taste meat for a month is not like heaven.
He had returned from Guangqi before. When the train passed through southern Henan Province, no passengers were boarded or dropped off in other cities except the provincial capital. There were militiamen guarding the railway line. They must be catching lurking opposition!
Putting aside these thoughts, Lin Sanqi was ready to cherish the moment, so he joked:
"In the new society, men and women are equal. In this way, you treat me to a meal, and I treat you to meat, and that's it."
Pan Ye's eyes widened as he saw Lin Sanqi placing the aluminum lunch boxes in the center of the dining table one by one, and then opening them one by one.
The first rice box contained dried plums, vegetables and pork.
The second rice box contained a braised pork platter.
The third rice box contains braised pork.
The fourth lunch box is the Buddha Road Wall.
Lin Sanqi ate these delicious meats when eating out in major restaurants, and then asked the restaurant to cook a few more portions and take them away. It was absolutely authentic.
The dishes cooked by those first-class chefs are the most delicious in the world, and they are full of color, aroma and flavor. As soon as the rice box is opened, the aroma of meat quickly wafts around.
Originally, all the teachers and students in the school were chattering excitedly because they could eat meat slices today.
As soon as Lin Sanqi opened the lunch box, the cafeteria quickly became quiet, and everyone looked at Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye as if they had seen a ghost.
Even Pan Ye's swallowing sound was clearly audible.
A male classmate touched the classmate in front of him and asked:
"Hey classmate, have I fainted from hunger recently and been hallucinating? I seem to smell the smell of braised pork."
Another classmate also nodded and said: "I think I'm hallucinating too. What I smell is the aroma of pork belly. Oh my god, my mouth is watering."
At this time, a male student in the crowd suddenly broke down and cursed loudly:
"Who is so wicked? Who is eating meat? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Wow, this curse seemed to turn on a switch and quickly resonated with everyone. Everyone became so angry that they began to curse.
Even the staff in the cafeteria poked their heads around, wondering where the smell of meat came from.
Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye were shocked. The young couple had planned to have a hearty meal, but suddenly they aroused public outrage.
So the two of them hurriedly prepared to cover the lunch box, but it was too late. An old man wearing glasses came over:
When Pan Ye saw the person coming, he immediately stood up and blushed:
"Professor Wang, we...we...did nothing."
Professor Wang smelled the fragrance in the air, then closed his eyes and shook his head and said:
"Pork with pickled vegetables, braised pork, and braised pork. Well, these three can't be wrong. There is another one that smells more fragrant. Classmate Pan, what is it?" Pan Ye didn't know what it was, it was a hodgepodge-like dish. She hadn't seen it either, so she looked at Lin Sanqi for help.
Lin Sanqi is now technically a student at the Capital Medical College, and Pan Ye’s teacher is his teacher, so he stood up obediently and answered:
"Teacher, there is another one called Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, which belongs to Min cuisine and is not popular in the north."
Professor Wang opened his eyes and said, "Oh, Buddha Jumps over the Wall. I had it when I was young. It tasted so delicious. I can't even forget it..."
Lin Sanqi blinked and prepared to be polite:
"Professor Wang, let me introduce myself. I am Pan Ye's friend. My name is Lin Sanqi. I work at the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I happened to come to our school today for a business trip. I wanted to visit Pan Ye by the way. Haha. Why don't you just sit down and eat? Point?”
Lin Sanqi had to reveal his identity. He didn't want to be looked at like an enemy agent.
Lin Sanqi was just being polite, thinking that Professor Wang would refuse, and then she could happily date Pan Ye.
As a result, Professor Wang just nodded slightly:
"Okay, since Comrade Lin kindly invites me, and it's hard for me to refuse, then, classmate Xiao Pan, don't be stupid and go to the cafeteria to get me a pair of chopsticks."
"Ah!?"
Pan Ye was still a little stunned, but Lin Sanqi winked and signaled her to quickly hand over her chopsticks.
Respecting teachers and teaching is engraved in the bones of every Chinese. Even if the old professor wants to eat meat, he can only endure it even if he scolds him a few times.
Professor Wang got the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, then chewed it slowly without saying anything for a long time.
Pan Ye, Lin Sanqi and the many college students in the cafeteria looked on, all of them sweating, but no one could bear to look away.
If you can't eat it, you might as well take a look and hope that the meat will stop you from being hungry.
At this time, Professor Wang shook his head and commented:
"Good meat, good meat. Although it's a little cold, it's still fat but not greasy in the mouth, and the soup is delicious. This is the specialty dish of Andingmen Huaiyangfu Restaurant. It tastes exactly the same. I haven't had it in many years."
< br>
With just one comment, Lin Sanqi already knew that this old professor seemed to be a gourmet.
Because he bought this braised pork from Huaiyang Mansion, there was more than one portion, there were more than 20 portions in the aisle space, and he had to divide it several times before buying it.
"Professor Wang, what's so special about this plate of braised pork if you try it again?"
Old Man Wang picked up a piece of braised goose meat and put it in his mouth, slowly realizing:
"This braised pork is braised using the southern method. It uses five-spice red braised pork, which is not that salty. It should be Chaoshan cuisine. Our favorite in Sijiucheng is the soy sauce braised pork. The taste is completely different."
Lin Sanqi gave a thumbs up: "Professor Wang, you should not work in a medical school, you should be a food critic."
Professor Wang laughed loudly: "Yeah, I think so too. It's a pity. It would be nice to have enough to eat now, and I'm still a gourmet."
"Who wants to be a gourmet?"
The crowd parted, and Principal Jin and Dean Shen walked in with empty rice trays. Then they saw an old man sitting, accompanied by two young people, and surrounded by a group of people.
Dean Shen knew what was going on as soon as he saw it. He thought to himself that this boy was really willing to pursue a lesbian, and he was really willing to give up a table of meat and vegetables.
I happened to be hungry, so what else could I say? Just sit down and eat.
"Hey, there's so much meat, Lao Jin, come and sit down, we're in for a treat today."
Principal Jin’s face turned red:
"Ah, you old boy, classmate Lin Sanqi finally got some meat. Why should we join in the fun? Let's go, let's go. Today we have cabbage and meat slices in the cafeteria."
Principal Jin wants to be shameless. He knows how difficult it is to get some meat now, so how can he have the nerve to take advantage of young people?
Dean Shen burst out laughing:
"You, feel free to eat. I understand my employees. How can this kid be so poor?"
Lin Sanqi thought to herself that this was indeed the dean, so she sold herself decisively, but at this point, she could only do it as a favor:
"Principal Jin, Dean Shen, please sit down too. Pan Ye and I are not hungry. How about you all try my cooking?"
Pan Ye stood aside with a red face, thinking that if you are not hungry, I am hungry. It is all meat. She has not eaten meat for several months.
But he still had a smile on his face: "Principal Jin, Dean Shen, let me get you chopsticks~~~"
As soon as the onlookers saw the principal coming, they immediately dispersed. Lin Sanqi looked helpless.
He can still handle two or three. If he really invites all the teachers and students in the school to eat meat, believe it or not, he will be called to drink tea by the relevant departments tomorrow, and then die.
Pan Ye finally ate the meat, but in Lin Sanqi's jeep.
"Lin Sanqi, where did you get so much meat? How many meat tickets do you get for this? Didn't I ask you to save money..."
Lin Sanqi said indifferently while peeling the grapefruit:
"Don't worry, we buyers can make extra money. Look at these grapefruits. They sell for 5 cents each in the south. I got Sijiucheng to sell them. I can sell them for 5 cents each. The profit is the price difference, and the unit doesn't care. ”
After all, Pan Ye was not very experienced in the world, and it was not unreasonable to think about it. It was normal for buyers to travel all over the country and bring back some local specialties from other places, not to mention that the two of them knew each other in the black market.
So I continued to eat the braised pork happily... (End of this chapter)
