Besides learning knowledge, university life has an underlying advantage; you can meet friends from all over the place and learn about the languages and cultures of different regions.
Chen Zhou has a roommate from Shanxi who loves eating vinegar.
Since everyone was too lazy to go to the canteen on regular days and cooked instant noodles in the dorm, they mostly ate braised beef or pickled sauerkraut-flavored, but he preferred spicy beef noodles.
Discontented with the vinegar packet not being flavorful enough, he'd pour in some aged vinegar brought from his hometown. The sour aroma was detectable even through two or three dorms.
Shanxi has a deep-rooted vinegar culture, and during idle chat in the dorm, the roommate shared some stories about alcohol and vinegar.
It is said that vinegar was invented by Du Kang's son, the Black Tower.
