带着满满的正能量,大家来到了乐乎餐厅。国际合作处副处长来慧洁致欢迎辞,她表示,经历过2020年初的疫情,虽然大家一直没有见面,但是保持了更密切的线上联络,这个过程中,大家一起加油鼓励,共同分享信息,及时解决困难,彼此之间更加熟悉更加亲密了。9月13日学校正式开学,一切有序恢复正常,终于又与大家相聚。国庆中秋将至,我们上海大学外籍教师这个大家庭共迎佳节,一起体验传统的中国文化。随后,外国专家事务主管刘坤坤带大家了解了中秋节,感受了宋词《水调歌头◆明月几时有》,学习了“明月几时有,千里共婵娟”的祝福。接着,在乐乎大厨的指导下,大家做起了月饼。精致的馅料,平滑的面团,细长的擀面杖,组合在一起,色香俱佳、鲜香美味的月饼居然就跃然出现在自己的手中。中欧工程技术学院的法方院长Marc直呼:太神奇了!太完美了!我是个优秀的点心师!品尝了自己的手作,大家觉得这次的月饼格外香甜!
