Chapter 1658 Politely Declined 2

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue also lined up with their children, the children in front and they in the back.

The children had lived in the army since they were young, and occasionally followed their parents to the canteen to eat. They were used to queuing for food, so they held their own bowls in a formal manner, and each of them received two meat buns and a bowl of porridge.

However, two hands can only hold a bowl of rice, so the steaming buns that were a little hot could only be used by the guard uncle to use a small basket.

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue saw a basket of mixed grain rolls on the table. It was probably because the orphanage was worried that there were not enough buns to eat, so they heated up some rolls. The couple took two rolls each and served rice, but did not take the buns.

Seeing this, the two guards also took the rolls but did not take the buns.

Dean Lin hurried over and said, "How can the two leaders not eat the buns they bought?"

"It's okay, the rolls are good, leave the buns for the children." They were at the end of the line, but they were not in a hurry to leave. Feng Qingxue asked, "Do you have a plate? I'll pick some dried radish. The rolls still have to be eaten with pickles."

She saw the yellow enamel basin on the table filled with chopped dried radish.

After hearing this, Dean Lin immediately brought two plates over and put two plates of dried radish on Lu Jiang's table.

The atmosphere in the cafeteria was very lively. Most of the children were biting the buns in small bites, intoxicated by the aroma of the meat filling. Feng Qingxue felt sad again when she saw the cherishment.

The rolls were made of wheat bran mixed with sweet potato flour and corn flour. For people who are used to eating white flour buns, the taste is not to mention.

But except for the four siblings Xi Bao who had been well-fed since childhood, everyone else had experienced hunger. They ate a steamed bun, a mouthful of porridge, and a mouthful of dried radish, and they ate it so naturally.

Children always think that what adults eat is delicious, and the triplets stopped eating the buns involuntarily.

Lu Erxiong wolfed down a bun and jumped off the chair, rubbing against Feng Qingxue, looking at the black multi-grain steamed bun in her hand, "Mom, I want to eat steamed buns too, which are different from the ones in our family."

Of course they are different. The steamed buns and steamed buns in their family are generally made of two-fold flour and cornmeal, with flour being the majority.

Feng Qingxue broke off a small piece of the steamed bun she had bitten and handed it to him, "I told you in advance, Erxiong, you have to chew and swallow it after you bite it in your mouth, and you are not allowed to spit it out. If you dare to spit it out, I will spank you!"

Lu Erxiong agreed straightforwardly, but he was stunned after chewing it twice.

It tastes so bad, rough and astringent!

"Swallow it!" Feng Qingxue stared at him with bright eyes, with a sense of severity.

Lu Erxiong pursed his lips, swallowed it and immediately ran back to his seat, grabbed the remaining buns and took a big bite.

Hmm, meat buns are still delicious.

"Fourth brother, are the rolls delicious?" Zhuangzhuang asked him. He and Dundun were also eager to try, but when they saw Lu Erxiong's expression, they knew it must be unpalatable, and they immediately stopped.

Lu Erxiong shook his head fiercely, "It's not delicious, not delicious at all, it hurts my throat."

Feng Qingxue looked at Dundun and Zhuangzhuang who were eating buns quietly, thinking that even if it tastes bad, you have to let them taste it.

You can hide from the first day, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day.

The dried sweet potato porridge here is not like the rice they cook with dried sweet potatoes, with more rice and less dried sweet potatoes. Instead, it is pure dried sweet potatoes, which are smashed and soaked overnight and then cooked directly in a large pot of water. There is nothing else, just a thin soup. When it is served in a bowl, three-quarters of it is water and only one-quarter is dried sweet potatoes.
