Chapter 444

When Gu Zheng sat in this good position shamelessly against the eyes of all the children, there were several sounds of wooden barrels knocking from the back of the canteen.

In the canteen, which was still noisy, because of these two sounds, it was quiet in an instant.

When a smell of food came, the children knew that it was time to feed today.

As the curtain at the back door of the dining hall was lifted, two large, full grown, half tall buckets were carried in by the waiters in the two large and half dining rooms on the left and right.

On the thick table full of oil stains at the front of the dining room, two buckets were placed properly.

As the four men carrying the rice stepped down, two more waiters came from behind the cloth curtain, carrying a large rattan frame, in which large coarse porcelain bowls were placed obliquely. Although there were some angular cracks, they were washed clean and dripping water one by one, and put them on the small cabinet next to the two wooden barrels.

When these preparations were done, all the chamberlains withdrew, and the heavyweight Lord behind the curtain came out.

He was holding a half flat spoon in his hand. Outside his black short robe, he was wearing a turquoise apron. With a smell of fireworks that can only be rushed out of the kitchen, he paced to the side of two wooden barrels.

The routine that didn't even lift his eyelids said, "the old rule is to wait in line to get the meal."

"Let's go."

As soon as the waiter's voice fell, these half aged children seemed to have been trained many times. They got up together and stood in line in front of the waiter from the nearest position, waiting for his meal.

In such a quiet and eager atmosphere, the waiter with an apron cracked the lid of the barrel twice, revealing the true face of feeding today.

A bucket of steamed bread with millet noodles and a bucket of radish soup.

As if he had done thousands of movements, the child who ranked first stretched out his hands in the direction of the waiter.

A yellow steaming steamed bread was stuffed into his hand, plus a bowl of hot radish soup just out of the pot.

In this winter night, it provides rare warmth for these children who leave home alone.

This process passed quickly.

The child who got the food quickly ran back to his position, put down the hot red food with his hands carefully, dragged a small rattan mat to put the steamed bread on the side of the big bowl, turned his head towards the side of the canteen, hung in the bamboo chopsticks basket on the wall, and took out a pair of adult bamboo chopsticks that were too large for their little hands, He returned to his seat with dinner waiting for him.

This is the time to enjoy delicious food and comfort your internal organs.

As usual, these children who are too energetic now have only one idea, that is, eating.

The full canteen was full of the sound of chewing food. Gu Zheng, who raised his bowl to doubt the edible degree of this big pot of rice, was also taken to bite the millet flour steamed bread in his hand.

A kind of yellow rice fragrance with a slightly rough taste suddenly dispersed in Gu Zheng's mouth.

Although this kind of millet noodles is only the food prepared for the lowest people in the palace, it is also a little thinner than the food prepared by ordinary people in Kaifeng.

At the same price, the purchasing personnel in the imperial palace can buy relatively fine varieties in the hands of rice merchants, but the common people don't have this privilege.

Gu Zheng, who had thought that the life of the bottom personnel was sad, was relieved. When he tilted his head to the bowl of radish soup, he held great expectations.

Who knows, after drinking this soup, Gu Zheng has an unspeakable disappointment.

There are a lot of radish slices in the soup. They float in the soup and turn over the color of white jade. They are very good-looking.

However, the failure was that it was too clear. There was no oil and water at all. The simple floating oil flowers on it. According to Gu Zheng's usual experience, it was the oil squeezed from radish seeds, boiled in a large pot, and then dropped in the bucket.

For bean sprouts who are growing, nutrition is far from enough.

Gu Zheng, who once again drank a mouthful of the soup, could only be glad that the salt in the soup was conscientious.

Don't end up with weak hands and feet, which hinders his plan to exercise a strong body.

Seeing Gu Zheng thinking about things and eating, Wang Jien, who had three or two mouthfuls of steamed bread stuffed into his mouth, stabbed Gu Zheng with some worry and reminded him: "eat quickly, don't be stunned!"

While Gu Zheng was interrupted by Wang ji'en, the waiter with a large spoon knocked two empty buckets that had bottomed out, buckled the last residue at the bottom of the bucket into the two empty bowls specially placed on the table, covered the covers of the two buckets, put the spoon handle on the bucket cover, and carried the empty buckets one by one, leaving the dining hall where the people ate.

After two or three steps, he disappeared behind the curtain in the back hall.

At the moment when the waiter disappeared, the whole canteen became restless.

Stunned Gu Zheng, staring at the three or five children around him, ran straight to the two bowls like a vicious dog.

When several hands grasped the edge of the big bowl at the same time, an unimaginable war broke out.

A child, ignoring that the soup in the bowl had not yet cooled down, took a big swallow by the side of the bowl.

When he was ready to bury his whole face, he simply tied his hair in a bun with a bamboo marker behind his head, and was caught and pulled away from the back.

The pain of the scalp being torn made the half big boy burst into tears in an instant, and the mouth attached to the edge of the bowl was forced to separate.

It's good here. At the big bowl with broken millet flour and steamed bread, the fighting situation is even more tragic.

Just when Gu Zheng didn't notice, Wang Jien around him also participated in the battle.

Relying on his agility, the boy found a gap in a crowd of punches and kicks. The cat leaned over and took out his hand along the edge of the bowl.

Regardless of the harvest in his hand, he crawled back to Gu Zheng, broke half of the millet steamed bread that had been clenched into a dead knot in his hand, and threw it directly to the bottom of Gu Zheng's remaining half bowl of soup. He urged: "eat quickly. How did you eat so slowly today? Be careful of those bullies and hit your head."

Then he stared and directly stuffed the remaining steamed bread like a big pill into his mouth, indicating that Gu Zheng should eat like him.

Seeing the other party staring at the beads and a choking expression, Gu Zheng was happy in an instant.

He also ignored the affectation that the soup was not Zi and tasteless. He drank the steamed bread and soup that had been soaked in three or two mouthfuls.

When he slammed the empty bowl on the table, he looked in the direction of Wang Jien's sudden glance.

I saw that the soup bowl placed in the front of the canteen had been carried by a boy half a head taller than them.

He put a child's head on one side of the table with one hand, and poured the soup into his mouth with the other hand.

Because of his appearance, the front of the canteen has been automatically empty, which is also convenient for him to carefully clean the bottom of the steamed bread bowl, pinch the slag bottom of the small half bowl into a sticky small nest shape, and send it all to his mouth.

Not only that, the big man chewing the steamed bread also frightened the children around him with his eyes, and established his decision-making in the hearts of everyone.

The children dare not say anything about the big man's behavior.

Only Wang Jien, who has been peeking at the changes on the field behind Gu Zheng, has an inexplicable light in his eyes.

When the big man stuffed the last bite of food into his mouth, he returned to his seat as arrogantly as patrolling the territory.

At this time, even the slowest child in the venue took the last bite, no more, no less, exactly two quarters of an hour.

At this time, the curtain behind them was lifted again, and what appeared again was no longer the waiter in charge of the meal, but several small yellow gates that were not much bigger than them.

They led a row of people and gave orders after eating.

"Follow me, follow me."

Then, without much nonsense, he led the children who consciously lined up behind them out of the dining hall and walked towards the backyard of the West bedroom.

When everyone returned to the door of their own bedroom, the little yellow doors that led the way opened again.

"Two quarters of an hour, wash and rest."

"Two quarters of an hour to clean up the house."

"Turn off the light and go to bed at midnight. That's the same sentence. Those who work overtime should be careful of the lesson of the hand board."

After dropping these words, xiaohuangmen stopped paying attention to the dynamics of these boys. As soon as he turned around, he disappeared into this relatively crowded small side yard, left a group of children and began to move freely.

Wang Jien, who reacted first, took Gu Zheng and ran to the bedroom. When they rushed to the well with a basin, there were only three or two more people drawing water on the edge of the wheel.

Seeing this, Wang ji'en breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gu Zheng with a happy face, "we're in a hurry today. We have more time to relax in the evening."

Before his voice fell, a loud noise came from behind Gu Zheng.

I saw that he was still led by the big man. He was surrounded by five or six people, swaggering in the direction of the wheel well.

He pushed him aside at the same time when he was a little in front of him all the way. It was a pity that he entered the palace with his arrogant strength.

Out there is a mountain king, who can do it.
