deceiving him for many years. Now, he has been seriously injured and is on the verge of death.This is simply intolerable!The magistrate pounded the gavel heavily and continued, "Wang Zhong, do you kno...But before they could change their tune, Jiaren added, "Moreover, in life, one has no choice in their birth. Some are born into wealthy families, some into humble households, and some are even born as slaves."

"What we can do is study hard and change our fate. But this doesn't mean we should forget our roots or look down on our origins and our family!

"

A lamb, when it is young, knows to kneel at its mother's breast for milk, and even a crow knows to feed its own parents! How can we, who have studied and learned so much, be worse than animals What meaning would there be to our studies then!

He gestured at the two classmates, a cold glint in his eyes. He warned them gravely: "Today, I spare you because you were my classmates. But if I hear you insult my family again, I will not show mercy!"

The classroom fell silent for a while.

The next moment, all the students were clapping and cheering with all their might!

Someone said, "Well said, those two fools need to wake up!"

The companion beside him also sneered, "That's right, speaking of which, if our academy didn't uphold the principle of educating all regardless of background, these two ingrates probably wouldn't even be admitted!"

Some people scoffed, "Hmph, look at them acting so disdainful. Could they really be starving every lunchtime and not going to the cafeteria The courtyard gate is closed at noon, could they really just eat nothing and go hungry"

Just then, the teacher walked in, coughed twice, and everyone quickly returned to their seats.

Mr. did not say anything, and everyone assumed that he had not heard what they said.

When class ended, the teacher surprisingly called out the names of those two struggling students and said, "You two are going home to copy the school rules ten times and bring them back to me tomorrow."

Having said that, the gentleman left.

A hush fell over the classroom, then erupted into cheers.

Jiarren also likes the fact that Mr. Mingli is intelligent, but he wouldn't stoop to such a low act of taking advantage of someone in trouble.

Then, he called to his classmates, "Come on, let's go to the dining hall for lunch. Today we have braised pork. My aunt is a descendant of imperial chefs, and this braised pork recipe is hers. With white rice, it's particularly delicious. Speaking of which, I haven't had it in ages. If you don't hurry, you might not get any."

"Come on, hurry up, let's go eat meat!"

"I'm starving! I've been waiting for half the day."

"Come on, come on, wait for me!"

Upon hearing this, the students naturally didn't dare to delay. Like a swarm of bees, they surged out of their study hall and rushed straight to the dining hall.

In the dining hall, everyone heard the school bell ring and was already prepared.

All staff, regardless of their position, from the head chef to the dishwasher, wore sky-blue long-sleeved aprons and hats or head coverings. They were dressed meticulously, fearing that a hair might fall into the food or that a cough or sneeze could be bothersome.

And the azure blue is the cleanest and most refreshing to look at, you can see even a little bit of dirt.

This is how they use this uniform clothing to send a message to the students in the cafeteria, assuring them that the cafeteria is hygienic and clean!

The two large windows between the dining hall and kitchen were open. One was filled with trays of cooked food, while the other held several empty bowls.

Above the window where plates were placed, three large characters were pasted: "Pickup Window."

Where empty planters are placed, it says "Recycle".

Students flooded into the courtyard of the dining hall and immediately fell in love with the small garden.

Especially that large parasol, it's quite interesting.

Upon entering, I joined the queue at the window to purchase a meal set. The novelty of the tableware truly captivated me.

A small number of students purchased both Grade A and Grade C options. Most, however, chose the one meat and one vegetarian option from Grade B.

Someone else got a free bowl of egg drop soup and salted vegetables, then went to the small garden where several familiar friends gathered to eat, drink, and chat.

Tao Hongying stayed in Lu'an these days, but she wasn't just helping with the cleaning. She was also giving Wu Sannv and the others special training.

Like San-shushu was responsible for the staple food, such as steamed buns, scallion pancakes, and steamed rice.

Sun Er Sao was in charge of cooking the stewed dishes, Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law was responsible for the vegetarian and cold dishes, while Zhao Yu Ru was learning how to make fillings.

The four of them have all been homemakers for years, turning around the stove countless times. They don't lack basic skills.

Since Zhao Yuru and Wu Sanniang had been running their eatery for so long, Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law and Sun Er Sao worked in the back kitchen at the hot spring valley. This kind of training was specifically to improve their skills.

Those who study seriously also see significant results.

Today's non-vegetarian dishes, braised pork and stir-fried pork with sauce, were almost unanimously praised by the students. When returning their plates, many asked if these two dishes would be available in the evening....

Everyone was delighted and amused, so they quickly told the students that it might have to wait until next week because the menu for the week was already set and couldn't be changed easily.

Of course, the dinner was also good, with even freshly cooked dumplings. In front of the small stove there were noodles and oil cakes for those who wanted to change their flavor.

While the students chatted and laughed, they went back to class. As for Li's family, everyone was busy washing dishes, tidying up, and then sat down to summarize their experience.

The recent luncheon exposed several issues.

Some students have big appetites, some eat a lot and the dishes in the set meal are enough, but the rice and steamed buns are not.

Some people have small appetites, they finish all the dishes but leave the staple food behind.

For example, there are a few bites of rice left, and one-third of the steamed buns is still there.

It's a pity to throw it away, but I can't keep it and eat it either.

There's also the issue of paying. Students who buy meals with copper coins need to count how many they have.

Some even took silver ingots, requiring weighing and change, further delaying the process.

Of course, there are some minor issues, but they are not serious. Only these two need to be addressed urgently.

Li Laotai and Jia Yin, earlier they were afraid of delaying everyone's work here, so they went back to the courtyard and had lunch with Wen Juan. Now they are just walking over hand in hand.

Upon hearing these two questions, Jia Yin had no answer to the first, but found the second very easy.

It was also her oversight that she hadn't thought of it before and didn't remind her family.

Actually, the solution to getting paid is quite simple: just switch to meal tickets.

Design a set of tickets, keep it simple, just need the canteen's stamp, and it would be best to add some anti-counterfeiting measures.

Then let the students exchange money for meal tickets in advance. When they eat, they can directly use the tickets instead of money, which is much more convenient.

For example, the noodle values are mainly set at twenty wen, fifteen wen, and ten wen. You can also add some smaller denominations like five wen for students to buy more steamed buns or similar items.

In summary, promissory notes are more convenient to carry than silver coins and directly correspond to the three meal packages, saving you the hassle of making change.

But a good word shouldn't be said carelessly, because there are not only family members here, but also six or seven outsiders like Wu Sanniang!

So, she made an excuse, having Third Uncle carry her out of the dining hall, and then quietly whispered something clearly into his ear...

Li Laosan didn't expect such a big problem to be solved so easily by his little niece. He was so happy that he carried her around the dining hall for several circles, making passersby think he was crazy.

When the uncle and nephew returned to the house, everyone had already solved the first problem.anguish, he had clearly given his word, how could he still be beatenAs a result, the village head asked more specifically."Zhang Jin asked, "What did each household get from the village's dividends"Ha...
