Chapter 993: Hard to Swallow
He Xin and the others sat around the table.
Looking at Dean Lu’s enthusiastic attitude, they had no choice but to pick up their chopsticks. To be honest, they were really hungry. They had eaten some dry food they brought on the train, but after getting off, all the hustle had left them ravenously hungry.
Logically, they should be very hungry. Looking at the slightly yellowing white rice in front of them, He Xin forced herself to pick up a piece of some food, the contents of which were unrecognizable, and put it in her bowl.
A pungent sour smell hit her nose, making her face turn pale instantly.
What is this smell? It’s like the odor of unwashed socks that haven’t been cleaned for weeks.
Can this be eaten?
Doctor Zhang and the others were also hesitant.
Even the few men among them couldn’t bring themselves to eat when looking at this food.
It’s so vastly different from what they’re used to at home.
Dean Lu saw them not moving their chopsticks and thought they were being polite, so he hurriedly said, "Please eat, please eat. This sauerkraut is freshly pickled this year. I specially cut a piece of meat yesterday, don’t be polite, hurry and eat."
Seeing their forced smiles, he thought they were embarrassed to eat and quickly said, "You eat first, I’ll go out and see if they’ve moved the medicines and equipment into the house for you. Those guys can be very careless if I’m not watching. If they break something, it would be terrible."
As Dean Lu walked out the door, he just ran into Xiaoyu.
