The university life in Baiougang is positive and upward from the mainstream point of view, but it is undeniable that thousands of young people with strong blood and energy gather together, and it is inevitable that some absurd and depraved atmosphere will breed.
Most faculties only have morning classes and lunch in the cafeteria, so students have the freedom to spend the afternoon at their disposal.
Diligent students prefer to stay in class to review their homework or go to the library to study, while more students are keen to gather on the grass on campus to participate in group activities and burn off excess energy through various sports.
Football and lawn bowling are the most popular activities, as are beach walks, swimming, and surfing, but there are also less healthy activities, such as student groups from different city-states who often hang out in groups, playful young people who congregate in dock taverns and brothels to get drunk and have fun, and cheap furnished apartments that are often upstairs with two-person student dormitories and brothels downstairs.
Walking out of the seminary library, Roland stretched his waist, turned back to Zehir and said, "You've worked hard this morning, helped me move books and ate a lot of dust, it's almost noon, find a place for me to invite you to dinner." ” Zehir is a typical military character, cheerful and unpretentious, and immediately smiled: "How about going to the nearby canteen" Roland thought it was a good idea, and it had been almost two years since he crossed over, and he still missed the university cafeteria a little, so he took the opportunity to inspect the food in the college.
The total number of teachers and students in the five colleges is close to 4,000, which is the size of a middle school on the earth, and there is no need to set up separate canteens according to each college and eat together.
There are taverns and civilian restaurants near the college, and those who are tired of school food can go out to open meat.
Roland and Zehir walked into the spacious canteen hall and made a general observation, there are about 20 kinds of dishes, meat dishes are mainly seafood, after all, the sea eats the sea, fish, shrimp and shellfish are everything, fresh, cheap and affordable, there are a lot of vegetables and fruits, the nutrition is reasonable, and the price is not expensive.
Roland ordered a salt-fried herring with onions, a cheese grilled shrimp, a sesame fruit vinegar salad with spinach, an oyster bisque, and a half-pound bread roll.
Roland hadn't drunk in the school cafeteria yet, so he wanted to try it this time.
Picking up the plate and returning to the table, Zehir also brought a lot of delicious food, two bottles of each wine, and the amount of wine was probably not much worse than that of the big brother Bloom.
"Zehir, I have something to do in the afternoon, I can't drink too much wine, you don't care about me, just have fun yourself."
Roland was vaccinated in advance.
Zehir grinned, his white teeth contrasting strongly with his dark complexion: "This wine is only enough for me to rinse my mouth, don't worry, I won't get drunk and make mistakes." ” Roland was secretly embarrassed, and he had to find an opportunity for this black buddy to compete with the dwarf big brother for a drink.
The food tasted good, especially considering that this sumptuous lunch cost only three silver coins, which is definitely a conscience in Hakugull, which is quite expensive.
Roland inquired, as expected, every quarter the canteen can receive a subsidy from the foundation, and the indicator of the subsidy is the student's evaluation of the food, if the foundation receives the student's complaint letter about the canteen, and it is confirmed that it is true, not only to deduct the canteen subsidy, but also to cancel the contract, find another catering contractor.
Because of this, the cafeteria does not dare to blatantly harm students with shoddy products.
"This kind of management system is worth learning from."
Roland said secretly in his heart.
Raising a glass to Zehir, Roland took a sip of a frothy beer, casually looking at the students as he enjoyed his lunch.
From the dining table, it can be seen that there are also different classes on campus, and the gap between the rich and the poor is significant, and some poor students can't even afford to eat vegetables, so they take bread and eat pickles brought from home, while concentrating on flipping books.
In this era when automatic printing presses were not yet commonplace, books were a luxury, and it was difficult for young people from poor backgrounds to have access to knowledge from books unless they were on campus and could rent books from the library.
Roland couldn't help but be moved by the hunger and thirst of poor students when they read books, and perhaps only the satisfaction they get from books can make them forget for a moment the shabby food that is hard to swallow, and forget the sumptuous dishes on other people's tables.
In an age without electronics and the internet, where entertainment options are limited, the cafeteria is a natural place to socialize on campus.
After the meal, making a cup of coffee or black tea, sitting around the dining table with friends and chatting is also a way to relax and relax.
Others use the dining table as a desk, silently checking exercises, organizing notes, or writing letters.
Roland has a good eye, and he can see the contents of the letter paper at a casual glance.
"It takes a lot to live in this city, and it's expensive; I had to rent a house, buy necessities, and a lot of things I couldn't predict right now.
Therefore, I ask you to help me, for the sake of father-son affection, for the sake of divine mercy, for my career has made a good start, and with your help I can start and finish well. ” The wording of this letter is humble to the point of view, from the perspective of a modern person from the earth, especially from the perspective of an Oriental, the correspondence between father and son does not need to be so sincere, but Roland also understands that this place is completely different from his own homeland, and the mercantilist tradition and the remnants of feudalism have prompted people to consciously or unconsciously bring a utilitarian concept when looking at family relations, and regard marriage as a transaction as a common practice in society, and the marriage of poor young people to rich widows is regarded as a shortcut to prosperity.
Considering that the Bend League is still using the "primogeniture law", and most of the young people who come to study are young sons in the family who have no inheritance rights, they have lived in the shadow of their fathers and brothers since childhood, and their family ties are relatively weak, and it is not natural for them to want financial support from their fathers, so it is understandable to use such a humble tone in the letter.
"Dear sir, can I disturb you for a few minutes?"
Just as he was thinking about it, a crisp and slightly shy voice came from his ears.
Roland turned his head to follow the voice, and saw a girl in a blue priest's robe standing at the dining table, as petite and delicate as most sea elf women, and looking at herself timidly, but Roland sensed a certain persistent look in the depths of her eyes through the girl's shy expression
