After the meal, the two of them delivered the boxed meals together. Lu Jingqiu really liked the meal boxes the train attendant used for them—they were aluminum, with a handle, and didn't burn your hands even when filled with hot food.
Upon meeting the train attendant, Lu Jingqiu casually asked, "Comrade, do you have any extra aluminum meal boxes like these?"
The train attendant was a woman in her thirties, sharp and efficient-looking. She paused, then said, "Comrade, what you're referring to is our attendants' exclusive kidney-shaped meal box." She then whispered, "Do you want one?"
Lu Jingqiu nodded, "It's quite convenient to use. Do you have any spares? Could you perhaps trade me one?" Lu Jingqiu also spoke softly, knowing that one had to be cautious in public places.
The attendant hesitated, then said, "I have two, they're almost new, issued last month."
Lu Jingqiu felt this was an unexpected surprise and asked, "How do we trade?"
"Do you have any national food coupons?"
