When the gatekeeper, Old Li, saw Xia Mingyue coming, he greeted her warmly, but rubbed his hands nervously, "Madam Xia, are you here to look for the headmaster? Last night, the headmaster and several teachers were drinking and chatting with a group of people. They just went to bed in the early morning. I'm afraid they are still asleep now."
"It's okay. I just came here to deliver something."
Xia Mingyue smiled and said, "Please help me pass these baked naan to Principal Zhou. Just tell him that these are for Principal Zhou, the Master and others."
As she spoke, Xia Mingyue took out a steaming naan from the basket, put a small piece of oil paper on it, and handed it to Old Li, "This is for you."
It was not unusual for Xia Mingyue to deliver food, and Old Li had long been accustomed to it. But seeing that Xia Mingyue was still thinking about him, Old Li was flattered and hurriedly took the naan bread. "Thank you, Madam Xia. Don't worry, Madam Xia, I will definitely deliver the things."
After saying that, Old Li did not rush to taste the fragrant baked naan, but first helped Xia Mingyue to move down all the baskets full of naan, and put them in the gatehouse, ready to be delivered after everyone got up.
"Madam Xia, don't worry, I will definitely hand the things over to them." Old Li once again promised that he would do a good job.
Seeing this, Xia Mingyue thanked him and said goodbye, pushing the cart back.
After watching Xia Mingyue leave, Old Li picked up the baked naan that Xia Mingyue had just given him, poured himself a cup of tea, and prepared to make do with it as breakfast.
As soon as he took a bite of the baked naan and felt the crispy and delicious taste spread in his mouth, Old Li realized that this breakfast was not just a makeshift one, but an improvement in his life!
This baked naan is really delicious!
It was so delicious that after eating a piece of baked naan, Old Li still felt his stomach was empty and he was still not satisfied.
He even turned his eyes to the pile of baked naan covered with cage cloth, which was still emitting bursts of aroma.
There were so many baked naan that Madam Xia might not have counted them one by one, and she probably didn't carefully calculate how many baked naan each person could eat. If he stole one, he probably wouldn't be discovered, right?
Bah, bah, bah, don't forget your identity. You are the one guarding the gate of the county school. If you can't even resist this little temptation, then the gate of the county school will become a decoration in the future?
At this moment, two villains were fighting madly in Lao Li's mind, but soon, the righteous side finally occupied the high ground and suppressed all the desires in his heart.
After shaking his head regretfully, Old Li finally covered the cage with the cloth and tried hard to turn his face away so as not to look at the baked naan.
Old Li, you must remember that you have no eyes now!
No nose either!
The sun rose higher and higher, and soon it was noon. Dean Zhou and a group of students got up one after another and began to pack up their things.
The former packed books and other items to be given to the students, while the latter packed their own personal belongings, identity cards, and so on.
Old Li sent all the baked naan in and explained that Xia Mingyue came to give him the baked naan as a gift.
Seeing that Xia Mingyue was still thinking about them at this time, and the baked naan she sent tasted great and was easy to carry and store, all the students were very happy.
Especially Fan Pingyang and Zhang Mingyi, their noses were sniffling again and again.
Their acquaintance with Madam Xia was caused by naan bread. Now that they were about to take up their new posts, they were accompanied by naan bread made by Madam Xia herself. This could be considered as their fate.
After they take office, they must fulfill their duties and be worthy of their official positions. At the very least, they must make sure the people under them pay attention to their food.
After all, when people can put some thought into their food and come up with new ideas, it means they are rich and have no worries about food and drink.
This is the situation they want to see most.
Zhou Zhiqing and several other teachers were also delighted when each of them received two naan breads.
During this period, they were very busy. They were busy with arranging and seeing off Fan Pingyang and others, and also busy with the annual county school entrance examination to select qualified people who could enter the county school.
Sometimes we could only eat two meals a day, and the oil lamps in the house often burned until midnight.
Under this high-intensity busy state, people are inevitably prone to having an empty stomach and like to overeat, but the fact is that they now all have developed a small stomach.
The reason is that the food cooked by Chef Wei is really difficult to evaluate.
In the past, the meals cooked by Chef Wei were hard to eat, but when Dai Changnian discovered that the root cause was that Chef Wei's sense of taste was damaged, causing his taste buds to become confused and unable to distinguish the correct flavors, thus making it impossible for him to cook delicious meals, they all expressed sympathy and understanding.
In order to encourage Chef Wei, they often even made some encouraging gestures against their will.
But ever since Dai Changnian brought Chef Wei to see the doctor, Chef Wei's taste disorder symptoms have gradually improved with daily medication, and now he has completely returned to normal. Only his cooking skills remain at the original level without any change.
This made Zhou Zhiqing and others even more worried, and they didn't know what to do.
Let's be frank, Chef Wei is so proud of himself, let's not talk about the taste of this meal...
Just as Zhou Zhiqing was sighing, Dai Changnian on the side brought the baked naan to his mouth, took big bites, and chewed quickly.
"Why are you eating so fast, Master Dai?" Shen Yongan at the side was puzzled. "Eat slowly, don't choke, no one will snatch it from you."
"No one is fighting for them, but this is usually the time when Chef Wei takes a walk in the backyard. If he sees these naan breads..."
Dai Changnian was talking, but he didn't slow down his eating of naan at all.
The rest of the people, "!!!"
If Chef Wei saw these naan breads, he would probably ask where they came from, how they tasted compared to the naan breads he made, and he would also invite everyone to taste his naan breads.
In that case, eat it all quickly. After you’re full, you can skip lunch!
In an instant, several teachers and Director Zhou all turned into ruthless naan-eating machines, stuffing the naan into their mouths non-stop.
While eating, one of the teachers paused, chewing the fragrant naan, and sighed, "It would be great if Chef Wei's cooking skills could be as good as Madam Xia's one day."
Everyone, "..."
Haha, eat your naan, wash your face later, and stop daydreaming.
At this time, Chef Wei, who was standing at the door of the backyard, frowned again and again.
It’s Madam Xia again.
Many people often compared his cooking skills with that of Madam Xia, and he also secretly went to Xia's food stall and even Buyun Tower to taste Madam Xia's cooking.
In the past, when his sense of taste was confused, he really couldn't taste how good Lady Xia's cooking was. But as his sense of taste gradually recovered, when he tasted it again... (End of this chapter)
