The crowd suddenly swelled, and one dining table was definitely not enough.
Gu Shangse and Jiang Jiang brought in new dining tables, combining two tables.
The stir-fried dishes were being served one by one, with large plates of food that were not only plentiful but also very tempting in aroma.
Braised pork with eggs was served in a large white plate, piled high and sprinkled with chopped green onions, a beautiful color. Read books.
There were also shredded potatoes with sour and spicy flavor, ants climbing trees, Hakka stuffed tofu, stir-fried hollow cabbage, stir-fried wood ear vegetable, stir-fried mixed vegetables, stir-fried cauliflower, pickled radish and old duck soup, iron pot stewed big goose, chicken pot, steamed fish, cold-dressed fern root noodles, stir-fried chicken legs, big plate chicken… More than a dozen dishes, each dish was several times the usual portion, all served in deep and large plates, filling a large table.
This meal, from preparation to completion, took a considerable amount of time.
Because the kitchen equipment was not standard for a canteen, each dish had to be cooked multiple times to be finished.
When Su Ling and the others finished preparing and sat down to eat, it was already well past lunchtime.
For Bai Heqing and the others, who hadn't eaten such hot meals in a long time, this meal made their mouths water.
As the dishes were served, while waiting, their eyes were glued to the dining table.
When they started eating, they devoured the food with gusto.
Gu Shangse and the others, who had been busy all morning, were also starving, and everyone focused on eating without speaking.
Everyone ate happily, and Su Ling was in a good mood.
Because she had met Bai Heqing and Bai Yuling in advance, her heart felt a little more at ease.
As of now, only Shang Qi remained.
They no longer had to wait in Lucheng; they had to go to Nanyue.
However, to go to Nanyue, they had to pass through Lucheng. Lucheng was a port city, and they could stock up on supplies.
Moreover, the seafood resources were abundant, so they could take this opportunity to go out to sea and salvage some seafood.
Su Ling picked up an eggplant, and a flash of images suddenly crossed her mind.
Those images were of Shang Qi with his arms spread wide, welcoming the tanks that were coming towards him.
The images flashed by like movie scenes; when she tried to look closer, they were gone.
It was just a fleeting moment, just a snippet, and nothing else was conveyed to Su Ling.
Su Ling had almost mashed the eggplant in her bowl with her chopsticks; her mind was still replaying that image, the image of Shang Qi with his arms spread wide, welcoming the approaching tanks.
He no longer appeared in her dreams, and she had no way of knowing what had happened to him.
Shang Qi was strong and formidable, a fact that could not be denied or ignored.
But no matter how powerful he was, in front of tanks, he was ultimately just an ordinary person.
Recalling that she had met Shang Qi in Nanyue in her previous life...
Su Ling thought that Shang Qi would be fine; she could only say that his current situation was not good.
But everything would pass, and when they met again, they would both be capable of standing on their own. kanδん
She had already managed to reunite with Sister Na, Hanhan, Qingqing, and Yuling earlier than expected; only Shang Qi was left.
At this moment, she found herself missing Shang Qi immensely.
Especially with the lively atmosphere before her, this feeling was amplified.
In her previous life, Shang Qi had taught her fighting techniques, taken her out to search for supplies, taught her how to harvest cores from zombies, taught her how to improve her abilities, and sat with her by the campfire to roast fish. These memories, at this moment, poured into her mind without any defenses.
The memories consumed her, making her miss Shang Qi terribly.
If longing had a voice, it would be deafening.
Su Ling scooped a mouthful of eggplant over rice and then picked up a tender and flavorful chicken leg with her chopsticks.
With everyone in high spirits, she couldn't ruin the atmosphere for everyone else.
