With the teacher’s guidance and help, all the students began to set up their tents seriously.
The students were not familiar with setting up tents. In the beginning, they didn’t know how to even begin. Fortunately, the teachers were patient in teaching them. Everyone worked together for more than an hour before finally setting up their tents for the night.
Looking at the tents standing neatly like mushrooms, everyone felt a sense of accomplishment.
Also, they felt a strong sense of hunger.
Everyone had spent the entire day on the bus and immediately started setting up the tents upon arrival. Apart from some snacks on the bus, they hadn’t eaten much since the morning.
“Teacher, I’m hungry.” One of the students sounded out.
The other students chimed in.
“Me too. I’m hungry, too!”
“Teacher, when are we having dinner?”
“How are we going to eat here? Are we going to cook for ourselves?”
“Aiyo, I’m getting hungry…”
“Everyone, quiet down. Don’t be anxious. A chef from our base camp will be delivering dinner to us soon,” Xing Yue said loudly.
Almost as soon as Xing Yue finished speaking, a beeping sound could be heard on the mountain road.
A van carrying a few hundred boxed meals was slowly driving along the mountain road towards the students.
“Everyone, don’t rush. Line up according to your classes. You will only get your dinner after everyone lines up properly!” Xing Yue shouted.
All the students wanted to eat as soon as possible. Chi Jiao and her friends cooperated and stood in line obediently, waiting for dinner.
The van soon came to a stop. The door to the driver’s seat opened and a plump chef alighted.
The chef was wearing a neat and tidy chef’s uniform. He looked like a cheery gnome. His face was round, his stomach was round; his entire body was round. His cheeks had so much fat that his eyes were just two slits. With just one glance, one could tell that he was an honest and amiable person.
“Hello, teachers. I’m the head chef from the base camp. You can call me Da Liu. The boxed meals in the van have already been divided according to each class. Please get the male teachers to help me carry them out. Everyone will have their meal soon!” Da Liu said with a brilliant smile.
The teachers hurriedly nodded in agreement and cooperated with Da Liu to carry out all the boxed meals from the van. The meals were soon distributed to the students.
In just 10 minutes, every student received a boxed meal.
As they were on the mountain, there were no chairs and tables for the students to have their dinner. They could only sit on the ground. They gathered in small groups and started eating happily.
Chi Jiao and her friends found a shady spot under a tree and sat down together.
“This boxed meal is really interesting. I wonder if it’s delicious.” Yi Lanlan opened the box. She was completely stunned. “Isn’t… isn’t this a bit too extravagant?”
Everyone, including Chi Jiao, opened their own boxes and was shocked to see the fragrant food inside.
Although the outside of the box looked ordinary, the contents weren’t ordinary at all. It could even be described as sumptuous.
There were braised pork ribs, fried egg with tomatoes, lettuce in oyster sauce, sour and spicy shredded potatoes, and minced meat with tofu.
