The two of them didn't say much and just started eating.
Xu Nuo still had 5 fermented rice with steamed buns left. He handed three of them to Shi Dadan and used the remaining two to make sandwiches with pickled tofu for one and cabbage, beans, and braised meat for the other.
Xu Nuo didn't even touch Shi Dadan's three boxed lunches; he couldn't finish his own food.
Compared to Xu Nuo's careful eating, Shi Dadan ate more roughly. He didn't need to put anything in the buns, just ate a bite of bun and a bite of food, mixing it all in his mouth.
There was no issue of pairing; he ate everything and loved everything, not picky at all. Whether it was fermented rice with steamed buns or black corn meal cakes, it was all welcome.
At the end, Shi Dadan used the last bit of soup in the lunchbox to sweep the plate, dipping the last fermented rice bun clean into the soup. The lunchbox was as clean as if it had been scrubbed, and he finished with two apples.
