With the ten-day break approaching, the students of the Imperial College, their palates now refined by the Juewei Canteen, could not bear the thought of days without it. Even the most pedantic scholars had received word and were out early this morning, lining up for food.
As they reached the back gate, they saw Madam Ling busy setting up her stall. A new sign hung on the cart: "Sanzi: 100 wen per portion, six per portion. Sweet or savory options available. Limit three portions per person."
Preparation was no longer as arduous as it once was. Thanks to the help of the staff at the Juewei Canteen, Jiang Ling, Mrs. Li, and Madam Hao could focus on the outside, while the canteen staff worked inside. They were able to restock before the outside supply ran out, significantly increasing production and allowing the Juewei Food Stall to loosen its purchase limits.
