Nowadays, as there are more choices for students, some students can't stand food in the school dining hall and they call the takeout （卖） food. Many students like ordering food instead of eating at the school dining hall. The students can't choose what they want to eat. They can only eat the food provided by the dining hall.
The answer is no. Most students can't make money, but ordering food is a little expensive. Students only need to pay 10 yuan for one meal and there are always different dishes and one kind of soup. When ordering food, I have never found a dish which is less than 10 yuan, and the most important is that the food we order may be not clean.
As ordering takeout is getting more and more popular, many people may think it's a new thing in China. According to history books, Emperor Xiaozong liked to order takeout late at night. His servants then went around the city to pick up the dishes and bring them back to the palace.
Common people also ordered takeout. Restaurant waiters would go out into the streets and shout out which dishes could be ordered that day. People could then place an order.
