Chapter 471: The World May Be Big, But Food Is Bigger!

s courtyard, leaving over a thousand fragrant melons and cold melons.This is all silver, pure silver, about to flow into her purse.Just thinking about it, she would munch on anything, even stones, as...That day, Tao Hongying rushed to the restaurant to cook private dishes.

Li Laosan brought a horse-drawn carriage, filling it with two carts of tableware.

As soon as he jumped out of the carriage, he loudly called to his niece, “Funiu’er, Funiu’er, come and see, the dishes are ready!”

Jia Yin is accompanying grandma to pick bok choy. They plan to steam vegetable buns for lunch.

Hearing her third uncle's shout, she rushed out.

Originally, the family planned to order a batch of bowls and plates. However, after some calculation, they realized that for one student, with one bowl of rice, two dishes, and one bowl of soup, they would need four sets of bowls and plates.

Assuming there are over 300 people coming to eat, one meal would require washing over a thousand dishes...

Anyone who hears this number will be terrified, and students cannot hold four bowls and plates at the same time, and they also need a tray...

In the end, Jia Yin and San Bo whispered to each other for a while, then Li Laosan excitedly went to find the pottery kiln.

The potter was delighted to have taken on such a large order, and today he brought the finished products back.

Li Laosan carefully took a platter from the car. It was one foot two inches long and one foot wide, with four indentations in the middle.

The big one holds rice and steamed buns, the two smaller ones hold dishes, and there is an empty spot for a soup bowl.

The whole plate wasn't as heavy as Jia Yin had imagined. Instead, it was light and sturdy.

Although it's not as shiny as the stainless steel plates from my past life, it's already surprisingly good.

As expected, trusting artisans is never a mistake!

Besides the plates, there are many pottery bowls and vases, each with a mark on the bottom.

It was a round seal, with the three characters "food is heaven" written in Xiaozhuan script.

Yes, "Food is Heaven" is the new name for Li's canteen.

This name was already overused in Jia Yin's past life, but she still insisted on using it because in a foodie's heart, nothing is bigger than eating.

"Food is the most important thing for people, that's the truth, it couldn't be more true."

The Li family, young and old, also loved this name very much. Yesterday, when Li Laosan sent the menu to the dean for his approval, he had already asked the dean to write a pair of characters. He was going to stay up all night and personally carve the plaque.

Everyone pitched in and quickly carried all the tableware inside.

Boil water and cook it, then air-dry it naturally. Just wait until the opening day to use it.

The menu that Li's family sent to Dr. Zhou included three set meals: A, B, and C.

Actually, there isn't much difference between each set meal. They just differ in terms of meat dishes: Set A has two meat dishes, Set B has one meat and one vegetarian dish, while Set C only has two vegetarian dishes.

Rice includes white rice, brown rice, and sorghum rice.

Man tou are white flour steamed buns and two-combined head, cakes.

The price is set at twenty wen for Class A, fifteen wen for Class B, and ten wen for Class C.

This price, if it can guarantee that students have enough to eat, would be truly cheap and affordable.

And what's more, each meal comes with complimentary pickled vegetables and egg drop soup.

Of course, this is just lunch. Breakfast would be porridge and eggs with steamed buns, plus various stir-fried dishes. Even for one person, the cost could definitely be kept to around ten wen.

Last but not least, there's dinner. While set meals are still provided, we've also added dumplings and stir-fries as special options to give students a change of pace.

Li Lao San had originally made good plans. He found several fellow food stall owners on the commercial street and invited them to do business together at the canteen.

Although several people greeted him with smiles, they all avoided mentioning the dining hall in the academy.

Even behind closed doors, people were whispering, saying that Li Lao San was too arrogant. The academy's dining hall has been open for years, and students have always come here to eat, haven't they

How come students stopped leaving the school grounds just because Li's family took over the canteen

After hearing this, Li Laosan ignored them completely.

But there were also two families whose bedding was about to expire, so they paid a month's rent here at the dining hall and decided to give it a try.

These two, one makes noodles and the other sells clay pots and flatbreads.

Li Lao San tasted it and found it acceptable, so he rented the two middle positions in the private room to them, leaving the two sides for students to set up banquet tables.

The next day at noon, Dr. Zhou, as promised, brought several gentlemen to the dining hall for a visit and a taste test to see how the food tasted.

It was another fine day with warm breezes.

Needless to say, President Zhou set his dining place right there upon seeing the little garden.

Da Zhu's daughter-in-law and Sun Er Sao personally carried the dishes upstairs, they were still a little excited.

Originally, scholars were already respected enough. Today, the ones who have come are all teachers of scholars!

Fortunately, Dean Zhou and the others all had gentle expressions and even nodded to greet them.

The Li family did not arrange first-class meals for all the gentlemen, but there were three types: A, B, and C. Free soup and pickles were also served.

Li Laosan also ordered a first-class package and ate with them.

He had been busy all morning, and was both tired and hungry. He ate without much regard, taking large bites of food and gulping down soup. This actually whetted the appetites of those at his table, including Dr. Zhou, making the food seem even more delicious.

Once the matter was clarified, they were assured that these dishes were all prepared by ordinary cooks. From now on, all the students would be eating like this. With peace of mind, the dean and professors left.

This afternoon, flyers advertising the cafeteria's opening tomorrow were distributed to all dormitories.

The menu board also lists the daily tentative menu and prices, very detailed and clear.

Among the students, many rely on Li's eatery for their meals and are quite fond of their cooking.

Now you can eat outside the academy, and the dining hall is even more spacious and clean. Of course, everyone is happy about that.

During the breaks this afternoon, everyone was chattering nonstop.

The several boys from the Li family have been going to the dining hall these days, and everyone else has noticed.

He asked them a few more questions then, and as a result, the canteen had new dishes made, and even built a small garden. They told their classmates about it, which added another three points of curiosity to the students' minds.

Of course, some people dislike the Li brothers' "showing off" and their sour and harsh words.

In particular, the two poor students in Class Jia Ren.

Seeing Jiarren surrounded by his classmates, one of them scoffed and said, "Oh my, our academy is becoming less and less discerning. They admit anyone these days!"

"It's already humiliating enough to run a food stall at home, and now you even dare to open a canteen in the academy You have such thick skin!"

Another student also sneered, "That's right, the academy is a place to study the writings of the sages, how did such a copper-smelling fellow get in here!"

This remark was clearly directed at Jia Ren. Several classmates who were close friends with Jia Ren were furious and ready to shout insults, but Jia Ren stopped them.

He didn't shy away and directly faced the two fellow students, saying, "Our Lu’an Academy has always been renowned throughout the world for its broad-mindedness and adherence to the principle of teaching all without distinction. As long as one loves reading and is willing to work hard for it, they can become a disciple of Lu'an."

But in your mouths, it becomes Luo An discriminating against merchants Is it that all classmates from merchant families who come to study in Luo An are thick-skinned

Two students were silenced, and looking at the faces of several classmates from wealthy families who were now ashen, they knew they had spoken out of turn.
