Chapter 267 The metaphor of the vegetable market

Professor Zhu held the dish and walked out of the kitchen with a smile.

On the sofa, Rao Chang, who was sitting with his head raised, looked at Shu Rou, who had been looking at the kitchen, looked at Professor Zhu.

Chen Lun had never answered, and his eyes naturally turned a little, and fell on Professor Zhu.

Professor Zhu moved his feet and walked to the coffee table, putting the last dish in front of the coffee table.

"Sit down. Let's have something together today."

Take off the kitchen apron I put on and put it next to me.

Professor Zhu smiled and greeted again, then sat down on a low stool that had been arranged beside the coffee table.

Chen Lun's eyes fell on Professor Zhu, calmed down, got up, moved his feet, and sat down on a stool next to the coffee table.

Shu Rou followed Chen Lun, sat beside Chen Lun, and looked at Professor Zhu.

Rao Chang slid down from the sofa and sat on the low stool in front of the sofa, on the other side of Chen Lun.

"Give."

Professor Zhu picked up the washed dishes and chopsticks on the coffee table, poured the water from the bowl, and handed them several pairs of bowls and chopsticks to Chen Lun and the other two.

Chen Lun took it, put the bowl in front of him, and held the chopsticks in his hand.

"Lao Zhu, the food is quite sumptuous today."

Rao Chang held the chopsticks and stood in the bowl, looking at the steaming dishes on the table, and said loudly.

"It's quite rich. I can't eat so much by myself on weekdays. When you come, you will have two more dishes."

Professor Zhu smiled and looked at Chen Lun and said,

"You should like meat and have more salty and spicy flavors. This braised chicken nugget is for you."

"Shurou, you should like to eat sweet and sour dishes. This spicy and sour potato shredded potato is for you to stir-fry."

Professor Zhu looked at Rao Chang, Shu Rou said something separately, and looked at Chen Lun again, but did not say what Chen Lun liked to eat.

"Lao Zhu, I have observed it very carefully. Master likes to eat lettuce and stir-fried meat."

Rao Chang had a perfect expression on his face, but there was no emotion in his eyes, and he spoke out.

Chen Lun's eyes were just calm and there was no change, and his eyes fell on Professor Zhu.

Professor Zhu listened to Rao Chang's words, just looked at Chen Lun and smiled, but did not answer again.

Lower your eyes and then look at the dishes fried on the table.

"I bought this chicken not far from the school. I bought it in the vegetable market. In the corner near the vegetable market, there is a narrow storefront selling some chickens, ducks, poultry. The price of chickens and ducks is the same as other places. However, when you ask him to slaughter you, he always has to be more serious. The store is opened by a couple, and the woman greets customers and collects money, while the man helps slaughter them. He has a child in the house, and he is studying at the Capital University and always mentions it to others."

Professor Zhu looked at the dishes on the table and said again.

Chen Lun didn't say anything, Shu Rou and Rao Chang didn't say anything again,

There were only Professor Zhu’s narration in the room, and some small trivial news broadcasts on the TV behind him.

"This potato is also bought in the vegetable market. The owner of the vegetable stall had an elderly man with inconvenient mobility in the house. His wife took care of the elderly man in the house. He rented a stall in the vegetable market to sell vegetables.

When you go to the vegetable market early in winter, you can always see him wearing a raincoat, which is used to block the dew in the morning when purchasing goods from the suburbs."

"There are also these pork and vegetables that can be bought there. There is a girl in the pork house. She is still in elementary school. The one who sells vegetables is a woman. Her husband drives a taxi in the city."

Professor Zhu looked at the dishes with some steam on the table, and said, pausing.

He raised his eyes, turned his head, and looked out the house.

Outside the house, it was the evening scene in the city.

The sunset fell on the people who were going home on the road, and some of the crowded vehicles turned on the lights.

The lights are on in the houses of the tall buildings in the distance. I don’t know if I am busy with supper or waiting for the people on the way to go home.

"A few years ago, I have been saying that I would demolish the vegetable market, but there has been no actual movement."

Looking outside the house, Professor Zhu spoke again,

"It was just at the beginning of the year, and it seemed like I was really guessing it. But the businesses there opposed it and wanted to live with it, and the residents nearby also opposed it, and they also wanted to live with it.

When I went shopping for groceries, they were writing a joint suggestion letter. I thought about it and left a name."

"Although there are sometimes some messes, it's better to exist."

As he spoke, Professor Zhu stopped talking.

"Lao Zhu, don't talk nonsense. When we came here, we saw that the vegetable market was still fine."

Rao Chang said something.

"That may be because some people's efforts have achieved a good result."

Professor Zhu smiled and said, looking outside the room again, turning his head back.

"Lao Zhu, I feel like you are metaphoring..."

Rao Chang's face showed a perfect thought, but there was no emotion in his eyes, and he spoke out,

Then, lowered his head and asked again,

"Lao Zhu, can we eat this dish?"

"It's just for you to cook it, eat it, and it will be cold if you don't eat it."

Professor Zhu responded with a smile, then greeted him again, moved his chopsticks first, picked up a vegetable and ate it.

Rao Chang followed and moved his chopsticks.

Shu Rou paused as Professor Zhu watched, and stretched out her chopsticks.

The eyes were calm,

Chen Lun fell on Professor Zhu, on the dishes placed on the coffee table,

He stretched out his chopsticks, picked up the chopsticks, put them in his mouth, chewed and swallowed.

For a moment, beside the coffee table,

No one spoke, a little quiet.

Professor Zhu also lowered his eyes and landed on the dishes in the dish. He was a little stunning. He held the chopsticks and ate them one by one.

There are trivial news on the TV behind me.

Outside the house, there were also some children playing from time to time.

"...Grandpa, gyro, please help me draw the gyro..."

"...You are cheating!"

"...Old Liu, where have you been hiking..."

"…I went to my son's house to have some food."

Some loud children's play and the words of passers-by downstairs came from outside the house through the open windows,

Professor Zhu, who was eating the dishes, paused and smiled.

"...It's the children in the houses of several families downstairs who finished there. The one who has the biggest voice must be the grandson of the old Yu family."

Smiling, Professor Zhu said,

"His son and daughter-in-law are all working outside, so they put the child to Lao Yu to take care of him."

"Lao Zhu, you know a lot. You are also worried about a lot, so why are you so desperate?"

Rao Chang asked without even raising his head, but his eyes were calm.

"...I am worried about a lot of things, I am worried about the dishes I bought in the vegetable market, and the bowl of noodles and buns in the store at the entrance of the community."

"I was worried about Professor Qiu and said that his son was married and he would ask me to be the witness at that time."

"I missed a few familiar students in the school and just got under my command as a few bastards studying for graduate school."

"I'm worried about the class that the school wants to attend, and when I'm worried about it, I'll think about it and do research..."

Professor Zhu responded with a smile, then slowly turned his head and looked out the window.

Outside the window, there were still some noises coming downstairs from time to time.

“…It’s because people are worried about it that they will despair.”

Professor Zhu paused for a while, and his smile gradually faded. He paused, and then said this, looking out the window with no idea where he was, he was a little confused.
