Chapter 25 Canteen Rules
Chapter 25 Canteen Rules
"What a weird guy." Wei Liang muttered, "Then we'll see for ourselves! Hey, Lao Lin, what's wrong with you?"
He was about to poke Lin Yi, but found that Lin Yi kept opening the "Canteen Rules", but his eyes were not focused on the "Canteen Rules".
Lin Yi raised his head in confusion and said, "Liangzi, take another look at this notice board."
"The first rule, 'No entry to the canteen outside of opening hours', is understandable, but what the hell is the second rule, 'No entry to the canteen in abnormal weather conditions'?"
Wei Liang understood what Lin Yi meant. The student code of conduct stipulates:
[Our school is located in the suburbs. If you encounter abnormal weather such as rainy days or foggy days on campus, please ignore Rule 4 and find the nearest building to avoid the weather as quickly as possible, and leave after the weather returns to normal.]
"Do you think there is a conflict between the cafeteria rules and the student rules?" he asked.
Lin Yi nodded slightly: "The student code states that when encountering abnormal weather, we need to take shelter in the nearest building at all costs. What if the nearest building to us is the cafeteria?"
"We have arrived at the cafeteria, and the notice clearly states that entry to the cafeteria is prohibited in abnormal weather conditions... At this time, should we enter the cafeteria?"
"Emm... Lao Lin, the question you raised is very constructive. If I had to say it, I think it should be..." Wei Liang thought carefully, and then uttered two words seriously, "Ru Jin."
The corners of Lin Yi's mouth twitched fiercely: "What the hell is called...'Ru Jin'?"
Wei Liang said: "It means that you can't get in."
Lin Yi clenched his fists and really wanted to give Wei Liang two punches.
"Oh, don't think too much!" Wei Liang said optimistically, "This situation is extremely rare. Even if you really want to, you have to wait until we encounter it."
"Besides, I have a way to avoid the risk!"
"Oh?!" Lin Yi's eyes lit up, "What method?"
Wei Liang smiled mysteriously: "Every time after we finish eating, we go to the canteen to buy a batch of biscuits, three or five pieces of bread, a few bottles of water, etc., which is probably enough for two or three meals."
"In this way, if there are any signs of abnormal weather, we won't come to the cafeteria, just like yesterday, and have dinner and breakfast the next day in the dormitory or classroom. Isn't that great?"
"Fuck..." Before Lin Yi could say anything, Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang beside him staggered after hearing it and looked at Wei Liang with outrageous eyes.
"Awesome! You've figured out the cafeteria rules..."
Lin Yi was speechless for a moment, but felt that Wei Liang's statement seemed reasonable, so he couldn't help but ask: "So this is how you spent the last time?"
"No!" Wei Liang shook his head regretfully and sighed, "The last time I came here, the store was rarely open. I hope it's open today!"
When talking about the canteen, Wei Liang's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible weirdness, and although his tone was somewhat playful, it more conveyed that he didn't want to say more.
"Okay..." Lin Yi glanced at his watch.
11: 19.
It was getting late, so he put the notice board aside for the time being and lowered his head to read the "Canteen Rules":
"[S City University Canteen Rules]"
“Your correct behavior in the cafeteria should be: enter the cafeteria from the [student passage] on the first floor, queue up for meals, and immediately return to the cafeteria from the [student passage] after finishing your meal.
As long as you follow this rule, you will be able to stay well fed and clothed during your experience."
When Lin Yi saw this, he was stunned.
He read this sentence over and over again several times, but still couldn't believe its truth.
"Is it okay for me to just go through the [Student Passage] and eat on the first floor of the cafeteria, and then leave the cafeteria right after I finish eating?"
"Is it that simple?"
"You can tell the truth is definitely not that simple even if you think about it with your ass. Only a fool would take this first sentence as the truth."
Lin Yi secretly shook his head and prepared to look down, when he suddenly heard Wei Liang muttering beside him -
"It's really that simple! Just like last time, hehehehe, it's stable, stable..."
He then glared at Wei Liang fiercely and said, "Hey, Liangzi, don't you dare try to ruin my moral character!"
He looked down:
"...But this canteen has taken into account various emergencies and has specially expanded the following rules. For the safety of your life and property, please strictly abide by the following rules:
1、本食堂一共三层楼，分别是负一楼、一楼和二楼，所有楼层均不会锁门，但仅在每天5:40~8:00、10：40~13:20、16：00~20：00对外开放，其他时段禁止学生进入。”
"If you see someone coming in or out during other hours, just ignore them and don't remind them out of kindness that they are going the wrong way."
“2. Students entering and exiting the cafeteria should use the [student passage] to the first floor restaurant (there are clear student passage signs at the entrance and exit of the passage). Do not use the [staff passage], and do not use passages without any signs.”
“If you find someone entering a passage other than the [student passage] and there is a security guard nearby, you can inform the security guard immediately or choose to ignore it.”
"If you choose to report to the security guard, please leave the cafeteria immediately after the report is completed. Do not stay and do not be curious about the security guard's next actions."
"Be wary of those who invite you to take other paths. They have evil thoughts about you. Reject them and try to remember what they look like. Keep a safe distance and be highly vigilant when you meet them in the future. They will not let go of those who refuse their invitation."
"3. The lighting in the student cafeteria area is on 24 hours a day. Do not enter the unlit area."
"Stay away from the shadows of the cafeteria."
"If there are flashing lights in the student cafeteria, please leave the cafeteria immediately! Right now! At all costs, use the [student passage] to leave the cafeteria!"
"The cafeteria with the lights off is different from the classroom. There is no safe area!"
"4. Canteen staff have uniform clothing. They wear white chef suits and blue bibs and wear name badges."
"All canteen staff should stay in the staff activity area and inside the meal purchase window, and should not appear in the student cafeteria area. If you see any staff in the cafeteria area, please ignore them."
“5. Except for paying for meals and canteen purchases, you need to use your student ID card to swipe. Please keep your student ID card safe at all times and do not let it appear in public.”
“There are no staff in green bibs in the cafeteria. If you encounter a staff in green bibs who questions your student status and asks you to show your student ID, please refuse or simply ignore it.”
“6. There are a total of 9 food purchasing windows on the first and second floors of the canteen. There are a variety of dishes, but no food with tomato elements is provided. If you find such food at the food purchasing window, please do not buy it.”
"7. When buying food, don't argue with employees because they ordered the wrong food. Remember that as long as the food does not contain tomato elements, it is safe to eat."
“Unfinished food should be directly poured into the recycling bin. It is forbidden to take it away. If an employee asks you if you need to pack food or accuses you of wasting food, please ignore it. Remember, all canteen employees will not appear in the student cafeteria area (this sentence is bold and underlined).” “8. When buying food, if you find that the employee in the blue bib has put food with tomato elements in your food, please do not remind him that he has made a mistake (the word "do not" is emphasized).”
"But after you receive the meal tray, please go directly to the tableware recycling area and pour all the food into the recycling bin, and then go to another meal window to buy food."
"During this process, please remember his employee number and inform the class teacher when you return to the teaching building."
"9. There is no No. 10 window for purchasing food in the cafeteria. Please ignore it if you see it."
"Do not approach Window 10 and refuse anyone who invites you to Window 10."
“10. When you are queuing to buy food or eating, do not pay attention to any communication requests from strangers around you. If you are traveling with someone, please focus on communicating with him and ignore any abnormal situations around you.”
“11. After finishing your meal, please place your plate in the recycling bin before leaving. When you leave, if you hear any unusual noise coming from window 10, please immediately hold your student ID card in your hand, find the [student passage] and leave immediately.”
“When leaving, if you find that you are being watched by a green bib employee and he starts to move quickly toward you, please judge whether to go to the [student passage] or the canteen based on your location.”
“Don’t stop, don’t look back, don’t respond to his calls, even if you feel he’s about to catch up with you, until you enter the [student passage] or reach the tuck shop.”
"After leaving the cafeteria, please take off your clothes immediately and check if there is ketchup on your clothes. If there is, throw the clothes into the nearest trash can (note that it should be thrown into the trash can, not thrown anywhere (this sentence is underlined)!)."
"12. There is a small shop in the cafeteria, but it is not recommended to go in and shop unless necessary."
"Due to its location, the canteen can serve as a [student passage] for you to leave when necessary, but to do so, you must purchase at least one item in the canteen."
"The canteen only sells ready-to-eat food and daily necessities. Do not buy anything else, especially 'student commemorative coins'!"
"13. At any time, do not pay attention to any unusual noise coming from the cafeteria's basement level, even if you hear someone calling your name."
"It is forbidden to go to all areas inside the cafeteria except the student dining area, especially the underground first floor of the cafeteria."
"14. If you accidentally violate the above rules, please leave through the [Student Channel] as soon as possible, then immediately enter the [Staff Channel] and ask for help from the blue bib staff (note that they are blue bibs, not green bibs, and they wear badges) or security guards. You must show your student ID in advance before seeking help."
"At any time, please absolutely! Unconditionally! Trust! Security! (This sentence is marked with bold and underlined characters)"
"15. If you are unable to leave the cafeteria after violating the above rules, please go to the canteen and wait until the canteen owner appears. Tell him the problem you encountered and follow all his instructions."
"As long as you abide by the above rules, this canteen will provide you with a safe dining environment during its opening period. I wish you a happy dining!"
After taking a quick look, Lin Yi's first impression was that there was order amidst the chaos.
Each of the 15 rules seems very easy to follow and understand when taken individually, but once put together, there seem to be a lot of blind spots in the rules.
However, the simple "opinion" originally written at the beginning of the cafeteria rules does not seem to be so easy to achieve perfectly.
According to the canteen rules, when they cross the line on the signboard, the entire process, from entering the canteen, to queuing up to get food, eating, and finally leaving the canteen, is full of unpredictable factors.
Eating a meal is like fighting a war. You never know when you might step on a landmine.
Unfortunately, Lin Yi and Wei Liang had no chance to clear the mines, and if they stepped on them, they would explode on the spot.
Lin Yi also discovered the most critical problem - the owner of the convenience store.
According to the student code of conduct:
[If you see someone claiming to be the store owner, please leave the store immediately.]
However, according to the canteen rules, the canteen owner is someone who can provide help to students.
"So even though we are meeting the same person, we have two completely different options due to different preconditions?"
"Under normal circumstances, if you see a canteen owner, you should leave immediately."
"But since I broke the rules and couldn't leave, I had to take the initiative to look for the store owner..."
"why is that?"
The result of the two conflicts puzzled him greatly.
Moreover, Lin Yi discovered an extremely serious problem—security was only mentioned once in the cafeteria rules.
"Security will not enter the cafeteria."
This was Lin Yi’s first guess.
"But... why is this happening?"
After reading the cafeteria rules, Lin Yi's forehead was full of question marks.
Just as Lin Yi was constantly confused, Wei Liang closed the canteen rules first, took a deep breath and said, "I've finished reading it. Old Lin, have you finished reading it?"
Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang in surprise: "You finished reading it so quickly?"
Wei Liang asked back: "That's all, haven't you finished reading it yet?"
"Liangzi..." Lin Yi hesitated, "You don't think at all when you read?"
Wei Liang cast a disdainful look and said with great pride: "Lao Lin, is this the first day you knew that I don't like to use my brain?"
Lin Yi held his forehead with his hands in shame and said speechlessly: "No... Why can you say this so confidently?"
Wei Liang smiled awkwardly, put away the canteen rules and put them in his trouser pocket, and then said: "Alas, there are so many strange things on this campus, let's take it one step at a time!"
"Besides, I'm starving. Even if you want to start a passionate brainstorm, you have to wait until you're full, right?"
Lin Yi couldn't persuade Wei Liang, so he had to put away the canteen rules and said helplessly: "Then let's go eat first."
"Bingo! That's right, let's go!" Wei Liang said excitedly.
At this moment, he suddenly saw something and couldn't help but mutter, "Huh? That person seems a little familiar! Damn, why is it her?!"
Lin Yi looked in the direction of the voice, and immediately felt a chill running up his spine!
I saw a female classmate wearing a sailor suit and a pink cartoon cat hairpin appearing on the campus road not far away.
It turned out to be the girl who took the same blue bus with them to the campus yesterday!
