Chapter 194: Archaeology Department Dinner
Senior Gao and Senior Ling were somewhat shocked when faced with such a large amount of high-quality spiritual food.
It is true that everyone in the Archaeology Department is poor. They haven't had any spiritual food of intermediate or higher level for a long, long time.
Senior Gao reluctantly looked away and said, "Junior sister, this is too much."
"Not much. These are my thank-you gifts to my seniors. If you don't accept them, I will be embarrassed to ask you for help in the future."
"Besides, I also really want to try Senior Gao's cooking. The reason you refused is that you don't have the confidence to do it well?" Hua Ran looked at Senior Gao with suspicion.
"How could that be? I have had this skill for decades, how could I not be able to make even a mere high-level spiritual food?" Senior Gao retorted with disdain.
You have to know that he was once wealthy, and at that time he could cook and eat whatever he wanted with low-quality raw materials and treasures.
"Okay, Xiao Gao, put the ingredients away. Don't waste Junior Sister's kindness. I miss your cooking skills, too."
Senior Ling said calmly, with memories flashing in her eyes from time to time.
The Department of Archaeology once had a fairly prosperous period.
Seeing that both of them had accepted the ingredients, Hua Ran squeezed into the kitchen and said, "Senior Gao, although I can't cook, I can eat. Can I tell you how to cook?"
Senior Gao was happy and stood at the kitchen door with Hua Ran to give instructions.
He had never heard of this ham and really didn't know how to cook it.
Senior Ling shook her head. She was not interested in kitchen matters at all.
She left the kitchen area and went to the living room to call the old man.
"Old man, don't be late today!"
"How can you talk like that? Old man, I'm never late, and I hate people who are late the most."
Senior Ling rolled her eyes at him and said rudely, "Don't tell me you don't know why Hua Ran was late?"
"You bully a newcomer like this, where is your old face?"
The old man was a little embarrassed and annoyed, and said bluntly: "If you are late, you are late. If you don't like the archaeology department, just drop out.
I punished her to clean the library. Don't think I didn't know that she only went to the library in the first week and didn't go there for a single day after that.
Since she is not sincere in staying in the Archaeology Department, let her go. It is a waste of time."
"Old man, you can't blame Hua Ran for the mistakes of the previous students. Ask yourself, as the head of a department, you can't get resources and can't give students a future. Why do you blame others for running away?
Do you think everyone is like us, spending their whole lives in the tomb of the Archaeology Department just because of their passion for archaeology?"
The old man said stubbornly: "If you don't have a passion for archaeology, don't come here to cause trouble."
"That's enough. You really want to mess up the Archaeology Department before you stop, right?"
"I invited you to dinner today so that you wouldn't find an excuse to drive Hua Ran away."
The old man said unhappily: "If I don't chase her away, she will want to leave on her own?"
"I don't care whether Hua Ran wants to stay in the Archaeology Department or not, I just want you to promise not to ask anyone to leave.
If she wants to leave the Archaeology Department, it must be because you didn't do a good job. Wouldn't you beg her not to leave?"
"What? You're asking me to beg for help?"
"You don't have to ask, but don't ever think of me calling you dad in this lifetime."
Senior Sister Ling was too lazy to look at the old man’s ugly face, so she hung up the call, sat on the sofa, and carefully looked through the ancient books of Blue Star.
In the kitchen area, under the guidance of Hua Ran, Senior Gao quickly made delicious dishes.
When Senior Sister Ling came to her senses, a charming aroma was already wafting from the kitchen.
Even she, who didn't care much about food and drink, felt dizzy with the fragrance.
She stood up, took a deep breath, and hurried to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.
Delicious spiritual food was placed on the table, and the doorbell rang at this moment.
Senior Ling knew that it must be the old man who came, and he was exactly on time.
She went to open the door and saw the old man's gloomy face.
She said bluntly: "If you keep making that stinky face of yours, just leave. You are not welcome here."
The old man really had no way to deal with his daughter. He could only try hard to move his facial muscles to make his face look less fierce before she was allowed to enter the house.
As soon as I entered the house, I was attracted by the fragrance that filled the room.
Hua Ran was putting a bottle of spiritual fruit wine on the table. When she saw the old man, she hurriedly wanted to greet him, but after thinking for a while, what should she call him?
Senior Ling saw Hua Ran's embarrassment and said, "Just call him old man. Not only the archaeology department, but everyone in the college calls him old man."
Hua Ran was a little embarrassed. She was asking for help, so she couldn't call him old man. She tried, "Hello, grandpa!"
It’s correct to call him that, the old man is older than her grandfather, older than her grandfather, and almost catching up with the old master of the Su family.
The old man choked. He was only a little over 300 years old. For him, forget it, grandfather would also be suitable.
He nodded indifferently, no longer caring about Hua Ran, and sat down directly, looking at the table full of delicious food.
The three people, who hadn't eaten high-level spiritual food for a long time, couldn't stop eating it.
Especially the ham, with its novel taste, you can’t stop eating it once you start.
After drinking a glass of good wine, several people felt warm all over, and the strong genes felt as comfortable as being soaked in water.
Hua Ran has been exercising recently, which has increased her appetite. She suspects that her strong genes may have been enhanced.
As she was eating, she noticed that the three people opposite her were big eaters.
She was thinking that since she cooked so many dishes, there might be some leftovers.
Unexpectedly, they were still eating even after she had put down her chopsticks.
The three people at the table all have stronger genes than her?
How did he end up looking so weak?
With delicious food, fine wine and toasts, everyone's relationship became closer.
After dinner, Hua Ran took the initiative to mention the punishment task of the old library.
The old man enjoyed the meal and his face turned red. He also felt that he shouldn't target a young girl, so he was about to do as his daughter said and handle her with care.
"I have cleaned up the library, restored the ancient books, and will soon finish burning the e-books."
The old man was a little shocked to hear that the library had been cleaned up, but when he heard what happened next, he simply didn't believe it.
"Young man, you should be down-to-earth."
The worst thing in life is lying and being empty and false, the old man thought unhappily.
Hua Ran was stunned for a moment, then said, "I don't know how to bind and repair ancient books. I was able to do the repair with the help of Senior Ling and Senior Gao. I promise I did the rest by myself."
Senior Sister Ling was almost annoyed by the old man's expression, and hurriedly took the repaired ancient book to the old man to read.
The old man was about to scold his daughter when his daughter stuffed a book into her hand.
Looking at the well-restored ancient Blue Star historical books in his hands, the unhappiness in his heart dissipated.
Although she only stayed in the old library for a week, she did get to truly come into contact with history and do some actual work, so she can be considered to have passed the test.
“Or, let’s go to the old library and take a look. If there’s anything I didn’t do well, please point it out.
The one-month deadline has not yet arrived, so I can continue the mission." Hua Ran suggested.
