After Transmigration: Unexpectedly Wed the Ruthless Tycoon-Chapter 142 - 135

After chatting for a while, Chen Bajin and Gu Fuqiao realized it was getting late.

However, neither of them had made lunch, so they decided to head to the dining hall to grab something to eat.

The two walked over to the dining hall together and saw it was already quite full, so Lin Wanwan and Chen Bajin lined up at the back with their iron lunch boxes.

Chen Bajin had a proper iron lunch box, while Gu Fuqiao’s... couldn’t even be called a lunch box.

She forgot where she left her lunch box earlier, so she was holding a large iron cup used for drinking, which was big enough to use for eating.

Back in the 80s and 90s, many people actually used such large cups for meals.

In C City, this is called a "Zhong Zhong".

"Ah Jiao, we should’ve come to the dining hall earlier. It’s so crowded now!" Chen Bajin said to Gu Fuqiao as they lined up.

Gu Fuqiao nodded and replied, "Well... can’t help it. We played for so long, now it’s so late. It’s okay, once we line up, we’ll have something delicious."

Even though what she said was true, Gu Fuqiao was really hungry... so hungry her stomach felt stuck to her back.

"Sigh," Gu Fuqiao sighed while queuing, as the aroma of the food ahead tempted her from time to time.

Gu Fuqiao was naturally a meat lover, but even now, the scent of the stir-fried cabbage others were eating smelled delicious to her!

She was practically drooling... drooling all over.

Gu Fuqiao wasn’t tall, and the female soldiers were quite tall; she had to stand on tiptoe to see a few people ahead. She counted and estimated there were about seven or eight people until it was her turn at the serving window.

Though only seven or eight people, Gu Fuqiao was really hungry, and terribly impatient!

At last, the seven or eight people ahead of her left one by one, and finally, it was Gu Fuqiao’s turn. She cheerfully carried her iron Zhong Zhong forward and deftly handed it to the staff at the window, saying, "Sir, I’d like some stir-fried cabbage and twice-cooked pork."

"Got it!" The staff replied swiftly, then took Gu Fuqiao’s iron cup to the farthest window where the stir-fried cabbage was placed.

Gu Fuqiao looked inside the window carefully and found that Su Jili indeed wasn’t there anymore.

She sighed sorrowfully, realizing Su Jili had truly returned home. She actually liked Su Jili, as annoying as his mouth could be, he was quite reliable in crucial moments. Not seeing Su Jili now, Gu Fuqiao really missed him a little.

Gu Fuqiao thought, perhaps Su Jili would write back someday, so it might not be a complete loss of contact. Just then, she suddenly noticed that the twice-cooked pork she wanted was being taken away by another serving staff. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

She widened her eyes, watching as the last bit of twice-cooked pork dwindled while the staff holding her iron cup had just brought the cabbage over!

Gu Fuqiao’s eyes widened, mentally urging, "Sir, hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up and get over here!"

However, just as the staff came over, he was about to place the serving spoon at the twice-cooked pork, the last spoonful had been scooped away by the staff at the side.

Gu Fuqiao heard the sound of her heart breaking and silently swallowed her saliva.

"Old Zhao, you’re taking my meat!" the staff serving Gu Fuqiao said to the staff next to him.

That staff chuckled and said, "Where did I take it? It’s first come, first served, okay? The young lady’s been waiting for her meal too!"

After saying that, he handed the lunch box to the girl in line next to Gu Fuqiao.

"I’m really sorry." Gu Fuqiao suddenly heard a soft voice from beside her.

She turned her head and saw the person holding the last bit of twice-cooked pork was none other than a good-looking, well-mannered girl who greeted Yan Zhen Guo yesterday. According to Chen Bajin’s information, she should be the daughter of the recently transferred commander.

"No worries." Gu Fuqiao smiled and then said to the serving staff, "I’ll get some stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers instead."

"Miss, there’s no more stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers either." The serving staff looked at Gu Fuqiao with embarrassment.
