Capítulo 1652: Chapter 1509: Bustling Cafeteria
Xiao Hong imdiately felt embarrassed.
They lived comfortably and freely here. Everyone was familiar with each other’s issues, and now they no longer carried these past pains.
The state provided a subsidy, they maintained their previous routine life here and earned a salary, eating well, sleeping soundly, and living beautifully!
But while he felt embarrassed, the kids started yelling imdiately, “I’m the bravest! I’m not scared!”
A kid at the neighboring table raised a hand too, “I’m also brave!”
A little girl beside him gently tugged his clothes, dressed like a doll in a princess dress, “Uncle, I want to see too.”
Now the whole cafeteria’s attention was on him, and Xiao Hong was caught in an awkward situation.
“This… this…”
“It’s okay!” The little girl’s mom also laughed, “This girl is always acting up; she’s not afraid of anything. Once, she even brought a snake ho from school in the rain, scared us adults to death.”
Given those words…
Xiao Hong looked around, “Then, should I take off my gloves?”
Go ahead! Everyone was joining the fun.
As soon as the thick black glove was removed, the cafeteria fell silent.
Just from the cuff, the tallic color appeared, the silver-gray titanium alloy surface contrasted with black paint, resembling a robotic arm straight out of a movie concept.
Though it wasn’t unsettling, looking at the young man’s face full of pride mixed with a mischievous smirk, the crowd sohow felt a bit choked up.
Until the little girl, eager-eyed, suddenly turned her head, “Dad, you should get a hand like that! I just love it!”
Dad: “You truly are my child.”
The mother practically died from laughter, “Why would you want daddy to change?”
The little girl spoke slowly, “Mom and I have pretty hands and wear rings. It wouldn’t look good on this black finger.”
“Haha!” Xiao Hong’s slightly tense nerves instantly relaxed, “Indeed, not too suitable for wearing rings…”
“But can it shoot lasers?” The boy who first asked looked up admiringly, “Uncle, does your hand transform? Can you shoot lasers?”
Xiao Hong: …
Although he’d spent a lot of money for a cooler prosthetic, it certainly wasn’t weapon-equipped! He had no choice but to put the glove back on, “No, privately firing lasers is illegal.”
With this said, several kids let out a sigh.
Just then, Master Jiang called over, “Co, co, co, ti to eat.”
Everyone took their number cards and lined up for food. At this mont, nobody minded the 30-yuan al fee; instead, a family who brought their own food found themselves conflicted:
“If I had known this place hires disabled people, I wouldn’t have brought food… Charging 30 per person, how do they make money?”
The daughter-in-law hesitated, “Mom, why don’t we try it too? We’re already here, it won’t spoil, save it for dinner.”
Think of it as doing charity.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a glance and hurriedly packed up the pancakes on the table, imdiately scanning the code without another word.
anwhile, the people ahead in line couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow! This dish is so fresh!”
Though they hadn’t tasted it yet, the large pot of rice broth simring with pea shoots and atball soup with its vibrant greens and whites looked incredibly fresh and tender!
It was said there were four dishes, one sweet and one savory soup, and rice as the main dish. Yet no one expected that the large pot dishes would look and sll so good.
Carrying plates, the group hesitated; Master Jiang was still shouting at the side, “Try a bit of everything, if you’re still hungry, go for seconds. Don’t take too much at once; waste not, want not.”
Following his shout, those in front obediently took a portion of each, from stir-fried minced pork with peas to stewed lettuce with pot at, leaving none behind, and also didn’t miss the pea shoot atball soup.
Only when serving the white fungus soup did the kitchen helper advise, “This white fungus is special, not suggested to drink first; it might affect your al. You can have it after you’ve had enough.”
Hey!
How curious!
While soone heeded the advice, others defied it, and soone imdiately ca closer, “I want to taste why exactly it’s called special.”
No one stopped them, so they each filled a bowl and slowly went to the side with a spoon to sip.
The white fungus soup used naturally was made from freshly produced white fungus crumbs this year, and as for its form, there wasn’t much to say, only a few scattered red goji berries were visible, with so lotus seeds and peanuts inside.
Except for being a bit crushed, it wasn’t much different from other white fungus soups.
Yet when they started sipping, not a word was uttered.
The two slowly savored the white fungus soup, as if sipping on so celestial nectar. anwhile, those serving food didn’t pay them any mind, only continuously praising the deliciousness of the mountain vegetables:
“These peas are so sweet and tender! Fresh scent! Never bought such good peas in the market.”
“They probably grew them in a greenhouse over the winter to pinch these pea shoots; this is the batch of peas produced from them — Ma, look, the kids are eating it so joyfully!”
“Honey, co and taste this atball soup, the pea shoots are incredibly tender, 15 yuan per pound isn’t expensive. Let’s buy so before we leave.”
“Dad, try this lettuce; it’s stewed to be so soft and refreshing, delicious! Mom, how co I’ve never tasted such flavor at ho?”
“You know, these dishes really are nice, even the premium section in our supermarket can’t compare.”
“Didn’t the scan code say you can buy it? Let’s buy a lot before we leave this afternoon.”
“These peppers are perfectly seasoned, both fragrant and spicy, and the at is thick! I wonder if there are red ones…”
Everyone chattered, unable to stop. The enthusiasm for eating was so overwhelming that not even the arrival of tea pickers from the mountains below could divert their attention much.
Xiaocai was also head-deep in her bowl of rice, stuffing her mouth full while negotiating, “Mom, if we can’t buy fish, we need to buy more vegetables.”
Mrs. Xiaocai nodded, “Yes! After we eat, we’ll go and buy it! Otherwise, I’m afraid we won’t have anything good left to choose from.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than a child at the next table shouted, “I want more eggs, I still want to eat!”
The little child scraped their empty bowl, looking particularly pitiful.
The mother felt bad, but it wasn’t about the money, “You’re full! Your belly is all round, you can’t eat any more…”
“I just want to eat; I’m not full…”
“Why doesn’t this silly boy know when he’s hungry or full? You just ate atballs, pea shoots, and lettuce; you had so much of each dish, plus a bowl of stead egg… Okay, when we get ho tonight, mom will steam more for you.”
“No no no! I want to eat this stead egg, it’s so delicious…”
“I’ll count to three! Three, two—”
Xiaocai joined in watching the drama for a while and sohow got a craving too, “Mom, I want to eat stead egg custard too…”
Mrs. Xiaocai glared at her, “First give
a grandchild, then I’ll make stead egg custard just for you.”
Xiaocai: That conversation was pointless, she was single, how could she self-reproduce?
