I'm a senior in high school, and the Emperor Development System has arrived!

Chapter 29 Your vocational school is not good enough for my university
The cafeteria lady blushed, waved to Chen Zhou, and said:
"She's forty-five years old, she's not some older sister at all!"

Chen Zhou's face showed surprise:

"If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you were a senior student working part-time during the summer vacation."

The cafeteria lady blushed slightly. After serving Chen Zhou a meal, she also gave him several meat dishes.

Chen Zhou quickly said:

"Sister, I just want rice."

The cafeteria lady chuckled and said:

"It's okay, I brought you some food. Come to my window again next time, okay? I love listening to you talk."

"That's for sure!"

Chen Zhou brought over the food and swiped his meal card on the machine for one yuan.

Seeing Chen Zhou use just one word, "sister," to get a Manchu Han Imperial Feast for a dollar, the students behind him were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

A male student quickly approached and said to the cafeteria lady:

"Little sister, get me a meal too!"

Unexpectedly, the cafeteria lady glared at him, put her hands on her hips, and yelled:

"You shameless bastard, who's your sister? I'll sue you for harassment!"

The male student held a small lump of rice on his plate, on the verge of tears.

The same formula, yet the outcomes are drastically different.

Where is the problem?
I urgently need an answer online.

Seeing Chen Zhou get more food for just one yuan than he did for ten, Li Bin jumped up from his seat and shouted:
"This is unfair! There's something fishy going on!"

"You're even more corrupt than the Chinese national football team! Why are you paying so much for just one yuan?"

Chen Zhou sighed and said helplessly:

"There's nothing I can do about it, it's probably because I'm handsome."

I originally planned to use the old trick of asking my classmates to each give me a bite of food, but the cafeteria lady was surprisingly helpful.

Damn! It's a modeling problem again!
Li Bin wished he could go back to school and start over immediately, but he had no choice but to accept the reality.

Looking at Abin's melancholy eyes, Chen Zhou sighed and said:
"How about this, to thank you for treating me to roujiamo yesterday, I'll switch with you?"

A roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) costs five yuan, which is about the same price difference between his and Chen Zhou's meals.

Li Bin immediately smiled and agreed:
"Good, good, good. Master Zhou is kind and kind-hearted, unlike some beast in human form who only knows how to cheat his friends."

As he spoke, Li Bin exchanged the food in his hand with Chen Zhou, while secretly giving Zhou Xinglun a glare.

Stephen Chow awkwardly touched his nose and said:

"Insist on sixteen strokes, give up fifteen strokes, do you know how many strokes a friend has?"

Li Bin wrote in the air, counting each stroke one by one:
"Twelve strokes, what's wrong?"

Stephen Chow stood up, patted Li Bin on the shoulder, and said earnestly:

"That's right, friend twelve strokes."

Then he said to Chen Zhou:

"Let's get some braised pork knuckle and soup!"

The two got up to get soup, leaving Li Bin standing there, pondering the meaning behind "twelve strokes of a friend".

When they arrived at the soup pot, Zhou Xinglun casually ladled out a bowl of seaweed and egg soup. Just as he was about to ladle out a bowl for Chen Zhou as well, Chen Zhou stopped him.

Chen Zhou looked at the soup bucket and said solemnly:

"I will do it myself."

He took the ladle, sank it to the bottom, and slowly spun it up.

The process of lifting the ladle must be slow; this is the key to Chen Zhou's years of experience serving soup in the canteen.

If you go even a little faster, the small particles that have finally settled will all disperse.

Seeing Chen Zhou fill a bowl with seaweed and eggs, Zhou Xinglun rubbed his forehead and said:

"Pork knuckle, it would be a mistake to give you this soup for free."

Chen Zhou, carrying the soup, returned to court smoothly, appearing as if he had concealed his merits and fame, and said:

"Xinglun, you still have a lot to learn on the road to freeloading." "I concede defeat!"

Stephen Chow returned to his seat, completely convinced.

However, Li Bin was still pondering the meaning of "Twelve Strokes for Friends." He thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he hurriedly asked Zhou Xinglun for help:

"Xinglun, tell me quickly, what exactly does 'twelve strokes for friends' mean?"

Stephen Chow took a sip of soup, also surprised by Li Bin's slow reaction:
“Binzi, this ‘Twelve Strokes of Friends’ is like serving rice or soup. It seems simple, but it actually contains hidden secrets that you need to figure out for yourself.”

As he spoke, he quickly changed the subject, mentioning that his brother got engaged this year, and the bride's family asked for a dowry of 388,000 yuan, which immediately emptied his family's coffers.

Now, his parents are secretly sighing as they think about how Zhou Xinglun will graduate from university in five years and be at the age where he needs to date and find a partner.

Three hundred and eighty-eight thousand?

"How many years would it take to save this up?"

Upon hearing this, Li Bin was shocked.

This is a fixed injury for the poor and a percentage injury for the rich—it's terrifying.

Stephen Chow sighed and said:

"I really don't understand why people would spend so much money to get a wife just to carry on the family line. Do you think it's worth it?"

This is a topic that weighs heavily on the minds of all men.

Li Bin sighed and shook his head, saying:
"I don't know, maybe with our looks, we won't be able to find girlfriends at all."

These words were like an arrow, piercing Zhou Xinglun's heart. He nodded weakly and said:

“What you said makes sense. Maybe even if you find a girlfriend, you’ll just get the response, ‘Your vocational school education isn’t good enough for my university education.’”

What the heck are vocational schools and universities?

Seeing the two people looking somber, Chen Zhou pretended not to understand and offered words of comfort:

“It’s alright, we don’t need to carry on the family line at all. The baby’s temper, the child’s psychology, the adult’s age, the elderly’s health, and the grandchildren’s life, we’re already five generations under one roof.”

However, upon hearing the conversation between the three, someone couldn't sit still any longer.

A girl slammed her chopsticks on the table and shouted at Stephen Chow and Li Bin:
"Don't you three grown men find it ridiculous to complain about the bride price? The bride price is a traditional custom. What's wrong with 388,000 yuan? Why don't you think about how much the woman has to contribute in marriage? Managing the household, bearing and raising children... You think you can marry her without giving a bride price? Are you trying to get something for nothing?"

Hearing this outrageous statement, the three of them turned around and discovered that the speaker was their classmate.

Zhang Xiaoling, the feminist icon.

The three exchanged a glance, then stood up together and changed seats.

It's been withdrawn.

The current T0 version heroes, even if all three of them are combined, they can't beat them.

Let alone them, even if Ultraman Tiga came, he'd have to face a red light.

After sitting down again, Li Bin also began to worry about the bride price:

"What should I do if my future girlfriend demands such a large dowry?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou rolled his eyes:

"What to do, what to do? Mix your second uncle's rice with it, mix it however it tastes best!"

Having distanced himself from the feminist activist, Chen Zhou has become bolder in his statements, saying:
"In this situation, you have two options: one is to break up."

"Secondly, you fly to Leonardo da Vinci Airport in Rome, and then take a car to St. Peter's Basilica. Inside is Michelangelo's famous work, a sculpture of the Virgin Mary holding Jesus. Imagine you knock the Virgin Mary down with a hammer, and then you go up and hold Jesus!"

Chen Zhou rolled his eyes while making a joke.

If you want a girlfriend with such an exorbitant dowry, why not break up with her?
Li Bin and Zhou Xinglun thought for a while before they realized what was happening, and they gave each other a thumbs up:

"It still has to be Master Zhou!"
