Chapter 151 Seven Canteen Study Room
After New Year's Day, time flies by day by day, and it's time for the final exam in a blink of an eye.

The students who are used to being lazy on weekdays, in order not to fail the final exam, became diligent and studious one by one. They got up from the warm quilt early in the morning and rushed to the library to review their homework.

There was no change in the No. [-] cafeteria. It was still overcrowded every meal time, and there were not a single student queuing up to buy food.

The only difference is that in the past, after eating, the students would leave in twos and threes, or go to the classroom for class, or go back to the dormitory to play games.

But now, many students don't leave after they are full. They just put the dinner plate aside, take out the books from their schoolbags, and start reviewing on the spot.

They actually used the No. [-] canteen as a self-study room!
The most important thing is that not one or two students do this, and many students take it for granted.

As a result, after the meal was over, the dining area of ​​the Seventh Canteen was full of students who were reading and reviewing.

Yan Tongtong, Chen Fugui and others who were cleaning up were embarrassed to disturb them by their serious study and hard work, for fear that they would affect them if they were not careful.

Back in the kitchen, Yan Tongtong pouted and complained to Jiang Yu with an unhappy face:

"Usually, I don't see those people so diligent and studious, but it's almost the final exam, and they're all rolled up. Who are you showing them to?"

"Isn't this afraid of failing at the end of the semester?"

After hearing this, Lu Shuwu couldn't help laughing,
"If the school stipulates that you don't have to retake or make up exams for failing subjects, do you think they will be so diligent?"

"Then you can also go to the library study room to review. It's really not possible. There are so many teaching buildings, and there are many classrooms in them!"

This is what Yan Tongtong and others did not understand, she said eloquently,
"Why do you have to review in our No. [-] cafeteria? We are here for eating, not study rooms. Their stay here will affect our cleaning!"

"What's wrong with this? They just don't want to run around. They study here, and they can line up at any time when it's meal time. How convenient is it that they can read a book on the spot after eating?"

Jiang Yu also laughed, comforting her and saying,
"Okay, don't be angry, just sweep the garbage on the floor. You don't need to wipe the table. They have to review, and they will definitely wipe the table clean. It's easy for you!"

After hearing this, Yan Tongtong felt a little better.

"Boss, after the final exam is over, the school will be on holiday soon, so when will we have the holiday?"

After a busy semester, Lu Shuwu was really tired. He was just a simple foodie before, but he had never worked so hard.

He has done more work this semester than he did in the past few years, so that now that the end of the year is approaching, he begins to look forward to the holiday.

"When the school is on holiday, we will be on holiday. Don't worry, the canteen will not be open during the winter vacation. Everyone will go back and have a good year. Let's continue to do it next year."

Jiang Yu thought for a while and said,

"Before leaving, everyone sits down and has a good meal. Everyone has worked hard in the past six months."

Hu Zhihai said with a smile: "No hard work, no hard work, Lao Jiang, you worked the hardest!"

"Anyone here can say this sentence, you come here every day to eat and drink, how dare you say it?"

Lu Shuwu curled his lips, looked at Hu Zhihai with disdain, and said,

"Little fat man, your skin looks really thick!"

……

A group of people were sitting in the kitchen chatting, when Chen Fugui suddenly ran over from outside and said to Jiang Yu:
"Boss, someone is looking for you outside!"

"Do you know who it is?"

"It's the mother and son from Qiantang. I seem to have heard from them that the Chinese New Year is coming, and they may be going back in a few days."

"Oh, okay, you tell them to wait a moment, I'll be there right away."

Jiang Yu nodded at him, stopped what he was doing, got up and went to the sink to wash his hands, and then walked outside.

When he came to the cafeteria hall, he saw Liu Shurong and her son Wu Wenle sitting at the table in the dining area at a glance. The mother and son were chatting, looking happy.

I haven't seen him for a while, but Wu Wenle, who used to look skinny and frail, has changed a lot. He looks a lot stronger, and his body has begun to grow flesh. His face is ruddy and shiny, and his eyes are even more radiant.

"Aunt Liu, why are you free to come to see me today?"

Jiang Yu took a few glances at Wu Wenle, then walked over, greeted with a smile,
"Lele seems to be in good condition. She should be in good health, right?"

"I would also like to thank Boss Xiaojiang for his help. If it weren't for the meals you cooked, Lele wouldn't get better so quickly."

Seeing Jiang Yu coming, Liu Shurong quickly pulled Lele to stand up, she turned her head and urged Lele,
"Lele, why don't you hurry up and thank your Brother Xiao Jiang?"

Wu Wenle also stood up, looked at Jiang Yu curiously and said, "Thank you Brother Xiaojiang!"

"Be polite, be polite!"

Jiang Yu quickly waved his hand and said with a smile,

"Actually, I didn't do anything. I just cooked a few dishes for you, Ni no Kuni. To be honest, I don't even know if those dishes have any effect."

After a pause, he asked again, "Aunt Liu, is Lele's anorexia really cured?"

"No……"

Liu Shurong shook her head helplessly, and explained,

"I saw Lele's health gradually improving, and I thought it was because of his anorexia, but after I took Lele out for a walk, I realized that things are not that simple at all!"

"what happened?"

"Lele has no appetite for the food cooked by other people at all, and can't eat at all."

Liu Shurong raised her hand and patted her forehead, and said with a troubled face,

"He can only eat the food you cook, Boss Xiaojiang, which shows that his anorexia is not cured at all. The reason why he can eat your food is because your food is so delicious. Even anorexia can't stand it!"

Jiang Yu: "..."

Can't even resist anorexia?
Are the meals I cook so delicious?Why do I feel nothing at all? !
This incident was so unbelievable, no wonder Jiang Yu couldn't believe it himself.

But Liu Shurong didn't need to lie to herself at all, and it didn't do her any good.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yu had no choice but to ask:

"Aunt Liu, what are you going to do now?
In Lele's situation, it seems that there is really nothing I can do. You still have to find a way to cure this disease quickly, or it will probably get worse and worse.

One day, when Lele loses her appetite for the food I cook, it will be really troublesome. "

"What you are worried about is also what we are worried about, but now we really have nothing to do."

Liu Shurong sighed and said quietly,

"Isn't Chinese New Year coming soon? Is your cafeteria going to be closed soon? After you are on holiday, Lele and I have to go back to Qiantang for Chinese New Year. Let's wait until the Chinese New Year is over to discuss everything."

After a pause, she continued, "However, before the holiday, can I ask Boss Xiaojiang for help?"

"What are you busy with?"

Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Aunt Liu, tell me, if there is something within my power, I will definitely help."

"Isn't Lele only able to eat what you made? This time I will stay for a month or so when I go back to celebrate the New Year. If Lele doesn't eat for such a long time, his body will definitely not be able to bear it."

Liu Shurong turned her head to look at Wu Wenle, and said helplessly,

"Boss Xiaojiang, I wonder if you can spare some time to help Lele make some food that can be stored for a long time before the holiday, so that he can eat some occasionally during the holiday?"

"I can make some food for Lele, such as steamed buns, flower rolls, or prunes and vegetable patties."

Jiang Yu frowned slightly, thought for a while and said,
"But even if the weather is relatively cold now, this kind of food can't be stored for such a long time for a month. Moreover, these foods will be dry and hard after being cold. Eating too much is not good for the stomach."

"Then, what to do then?"

When Liu Shurong heard it, she also had a sad face, "For such a long time, Lele can't stop eating."

As she was talking, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with hope,

"How about, how about Boss Xiao Jiang coming to visit our house during the holiday? We, we can give money!"

"That's impossible. I have to go home after the holiday."

Without even thinking about it, Jiang Yu shook his head and refused, saying, "Stop talking about this, I can't promise you."

"Then where is Boss Xiaojiang's home?"

Liu Shurong was not discouraged when she was rejected, and continued,

"Don't worry, I don't mean anything else, I just thought, if one day Lele is hungry, I can take him over to ask Boss Xiaojiang to help him make something to eat.

Don't worry, there is nothing else, we will definitely not bother you. "

What a pity for the hearts of parents in the world!
Seeing Liu Shurong's miserable appearance, Jiang Yu really couldn't bear it. He sighed secretly, nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll leave a call for you then."

After sending Liu Shurong's mother and son away, Jiang Yu returned to the kitchen. It was getting late, and Lu Shuwu, Qian Liwei and others had already started to work, preparing for dinner.

Ever since Jiang Yu handed over to Lu Shuwu the secret ingredients for making soup dumpling fillings, as well as the seasonings for various dishes such as chopped pepper fish head, roasted chicken feet with dried plums, and so on, he was at ease in an instant.

Everyone else was busy, but he, the cafeteria owner, started walking with his hands behind his back.

Of course, he wasn't completely idle.

Occasionally, when he gets interested, he still has to make a dish or two to sell, but this is an extra dish, purely for the students' "welfare".

The time passed slowly between before and after meals, and when the leaves of the broad-leaved trees on the campus were about to fall, the final exams ended soon.
