Chapter 89 - 087 Xie Family couple monthly ticket extra 150 - s
At lunchtime, Qin Zhen was still drowsy, his chubby face full of sleepiness.
Beside him, Qi Minjun smilingly said, "Mr. Li, these two boys are also your grandchildren, you are truly blessed."
Qin Xi has an outstanding appearance, with arched eyebrows and piercing eyes. Even though he was dressed simply, his entire demeanor was not to be underestimated; this youth was truly extraordinary.
And that plump boy, looking naive and somewhat arrogant, but that’s how boys should be, otherwise they might get bullied when they go out.
There’s no need to mention Xianglu. On the surface, she’s charming and cute, often speaking cleverly, but after interacting with her for a morning, Qi Minjun felt that this girl was very shrewd. She couldn’t figure out the specifics of the child’s home despite a morning’s conversation, and hadn’t managed to find out some details about her family. She wasn’t upset, however, but very pleased. In this day and age, being cautious is not a bad thing, it would be bad if she started sharing her family matters with everyone she met.
Mr. Li shook his head and said, "No, Qin Xi and Qin Zhen are my friend’s children. I am going to Shanghai to visit an old friend, and these two kids had nothing to do, so they came along to broaden their horizons."
Today, the cafeteria offered meat dishes—pork chunks and stir-fried lamb with scallions—and vegetarian dishes—cabbage noodles stewed with tofu. One could choose between steamed bread and rice.
Xianglu brought Baiji Bread, so she ordered a portion of pork chunks, a portion of stir-fried lamb with scallions, cabbage noodles stewed with tofu, and her home-made kimchi and a large bowl of egg soup from her home.
The prices of dishes on the train were more than double those outside, but the advantage was that meat dishes didn’t require food tickets. Spending thirteen yuan on a whole table of dishes, Aunt Qi insisted on paying. Xianglu didn’t compete but smiled and said, "Then we’ll treat you tomorrow noon!"
Qi Minjun nodded approvingly at the child’s generosity.
Pork chunks are a famous dish from Jinan, made by cutting fatty pork belly into pieces the size of half a palm, then simmered in a clay pot with aged soy sauce and some spices for four or five hours to achieve a rich, flavorful meat that isn’t greasy and is very satisfying with rice.
