I work as a chef in the university cafeteria

Chapter 157 The Taste of Childhood

"Wow! This lion's head with crab powder is so delicious! It's smooth and tender, it melts in your mouth, the soup is delicious and has an endless aftertaste! I've never eaten such a delicious lion's head, it's so fresh!"

"Three cups of chicken is delicious. The chicken is tender and smooth, the juice is strong, spicy and fragrant, full of wine aroma, just one word, delicious!"

"I like this steamed sea bass, the fish is tender and juicy, fragrant and sweet, it's so fresh that my tongue will swallow it!"

"..."

In the private room, after Niu Wenlin, Xiong Tiansheng and others toasted a glass of wine, they no longer cared about what to drink.

They were holding chopsticks like flying, while tasting dishes that Jiang Yu had never cooked before, they shook their heads and appraised the taste of each dish intoxicated.

These dishes are actually very common, and can be eaten in ordinary restaurants, but there is an obvious difference whether these dishes are made by Jiang Yu.

The dishes made by other people can only be regarded as delicious and delicious at best, but after Jiang Yu's hands, these ordinary dishes have completely changed.

It's not a question of whether it's delicious or not, but how boring life will be if you can't eat these dishes in the future!
Of course, they haven't realized this "serious" problem yet, because at this moment, they are still feasting and enjoying the best taste in the world!

Niu Wenlin, Xiong Tiansheng, Jia Dequan and others are a little bit scruples about their image, they can’t say they eat fast, and they will comment while eating.

But Hu Zhihai, Lu Shuwu, Ma Guoqiang and others couldn't control so much. They sat on their seats, reluctant to lift their heads, and kept picking various dishes into their bowls with chopsticks.

Seeing that the bowl was almost full, they just picked up a full bowl of vegetables and stuffed them into their mouths as if they were eating. Soon their faces were flushed and their mouths were full of oil.

"Emmm, it's delicious! It's so delicious!"

"Wow! The lotus blood duck is so spicy, if you eat it with rice, it will be perfect!"

"The braised mutton is amazing! It's fat and thin, it's fragrant and glutinous, and the key is that it doesn't smell bad at all!"

"..."

At the table Jiang Yu was sitting at, everyone except Jiang Yu was devouring their meals, their mouths were full of oil, and they lost all image.

As for Yan Tongtong's table, it looked like a big battle had been fought, the cups and plates were messed up, and the table was full of broken bones.

The people sitting at this table were all part-time students. Although they ate with Jiang Yu and Lu Shuwu on weekdays, they were in a hurry every time they ate, and they hardly had time to stop and enjoy it.

There are too many things in the cafeteria and they are too busy. After eating, they are busy cleaning up the plates, bowls and chopsticks, and cleaning the entire cafeteria. How can they have so much time to eat slowly?

But today is different, today is a cafeteria dinner, tomorrow will be a holiday, and there is a table full of sumptuous dinner in front of you, more than a dozen delicious dishes are smelling...

If you don't eat at this time, when will you wait? !

This dinner lasted until nearly ten o'clock at night before resting. Everyone's stomachs were so round that they couldn't even walk.

There were two tables full of dishes, and there was nothing left, even the soup was eaten with the rice.

As far as the CD-ROM operation is concerned, this is probably the most thorough implementation of the two banquets.

After eating, everyone sat in the box to rest for a while, and then dispersed one after another.

The people in the cafeteria hadn't left yet, so everyone started to clean the dishes, chopsticks, plates and cups, and cleaned the box again, until the cafeteria was cleaned inside and out, and then said goodbye to Jiang Yu .

"Boss, see you next year!"

"Wish the boss a happy new year in advance!"

"Brother, see you next year!"

"..."

"Okay! See you next year!"

"Happy New Years everyone!"

Jiang Yu stood at the entrance of the cafeteria, holding a stack of big red envelopes in his hand, and distributed them one by one.

This is the year-end bonus for the cafeteria staff, and their wages have already been sent to their bank cards in advance.

Jiang Yu still decided to distribute the bonus by himself, holding a big red envelope in his hand, which felt different.

Full of satisfaction!

"Old Jia, happy new year, I wish you good health and a younger life in the new year!"

With a smile on his face, Jiang Yu took a big red envelope and handed it over.

"Thank you, thank you! Happy New Year to you too, and your career has reached a new level!"

Jia Dequan nodded with a smile, and when he saw the big red envelope Jiang Yu handed over, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
"This, this is my share? I have come here to eat and drink for free, but I have nothing to contribute!"

"How could there be no contribution?"

Jiang Yu smiled and said,

"If there is an old man in a family, if there is a treasure, let's not talk about anything else, brother Xiao Wu and Qian Liwei, if it weren't for you to teach them how to cook, they wouldn't have progressed so fast!

You don't feel bad about taking this big red envelope! "

"If you want to say that, then I will not be polite!"

Jia Dequan laughed, reached out to take the big red envelope, and stuffed it into his pocket without even looking at it.

"It's just right, when I go back to celebrate the New Year, I can still give some lucky money to a few juniors!"

At the end of the breakup, even Hu Zhihai received a big red envelope, which made Fatty Hu so happy that his back teeth were exposed:
"So I have it too!"

Jiang Yu said jokingly:

"Of course there is. The main reason is to thank you for helping the cafeteria to increase the cost in the past six months. If you didn't eat so much, the cafeteria could earn a little more."

When Hu Zhihai heard this, he immediately turned bitter, and muttered:
"That's not all I can do, right? At least I've proved that the food in the cafeteria is healthy and safe. Look, I've eaten so much, and I haven't had diarrhea..."

When the others heard this, they couldn't help bursting into laughter, and even the cafeteria was filled with joy.

After laughing, everyone dispersed one after another.

Starting tomorrow, the Seventh Canteen will be on holiday. Next year's Seventh Canteen will definitely be more lively and exciting than this year.

……

The next day, Jiang Yu, who had been busy all day yesterday, woke up naturally and turned his head to look out the window. It was actually still dark.

Only the street lamps in the distance are still emitting faint light, trying to dispel the surrounding darkness.

Turning over in the warm quilt, Jiang Yu planned to go back to sleep, but when he closed his eyes, he no longer felt sleepy, but became more and more awake.

"Ugh!"

Jiang Yu couldn't help but sighed, and didn't sleep at all. He sat up from the bed, quickly put on his clothes and shoes, went to the bathroom to wash up quickly, and then went downstairs to the kitchen.

It was only five o'clock in the morning, and there was still some distance before dawn. Jiang Yu thought about it and decided to make himself a bowl of fresh meat wontons for breakfast.

Since he bound the gourmet system, he has cooked a lot of food, but every time he made it for others, it seems that he has never really cooked anything delicious for himself.

Thinking about it now, I really felt wronged myself.

He remembered when he was young, when his parents were still alive, and occasionally when he was free, his mother would take him to the market in the town.

The bazaar at that time was really lively, with crowds of people rubbing shoulders, everyone selling food in baskets, and the people who watched it were salivating.

At that time, Jiang Yu's favorite food was the open-air stall in the market, a small briquette stove with a pot on it.

During the steaming of the fireworks, accompanied by fried powder or fried rice with minced chili peppers, they flipped up and down in the small oily pot, and bursts of aroma mixed with the pot gas came out.

However, compared to fried noodles or fried rice, Jiang Yu's favorite is clear soup.

The so-called clear soup is actually a thin layer of dough. Unlike wontons, which are filled with stuffing, most of the clear soup dough has no filling. Occasionally, you can eat a dough with some meat filling. It was simply a treasure.

After a small spoonful of noodles is cooked, pour it into a bowl and add noodle soup. Put a pinch of white lard in the noodle soup, then add some salt, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, a pinch of chopped green onion and a small spoonful of chili noodles.

Stir it with a spoon again, and the aroma of lard will be released in the hot soup.

Every time at this moment, Jiang Yu would pick up the vinegar bottle, pour two tablespoons full of old mature vinegar, and stir it in the clear soup, a strong scent of vinegar would blow over his face, making people unable to resist Mouth fluid.

Take a sip of hot noodle soup, it is sour and fresh, fragrant and spicy, it is simply delicious in the world!

However, the township fairs have gradually declined over the years, and the original open-air fairs have been replaced by uniform farmers' markets. These open-air food stalls that were common in childhood have gradually disappeared.

Even if Jiang Yu missed the taste of his childhood, it would be difficult to taste it again.

Reminiscing with emotion, Jiang Yu quickly reconciled, took a little pork belly from the freezer, chopped the stuffing, and then began to wrap wontons.

It was said to be wonton, but in fact what he made was the kind of clear soup that he ate when he was a child. There was not much meat filling, he just picked up a little bit with the tip of his chopsticks and scraped it on the dough, and then pulled it with two fingers, and a clear soup dough was ready. it is done.

While he was busy, the door of the side dish room was suddenly pushed open. Lu Shuwu poked his head in from the door carrying a large bag, looked around curiously, and asked:

"Boss, I'm about to leave! Hey, what are you doing?"

"Make clear soup."

Jiang Yu responded smoothly, and suddenly remembered that Lu Shuwu probably didn't know what clear soup was, so he explained again,
"It's similar to wonton, but with less meat filling."

"Oh, isn't this just noodle!"

Lu Shuwu understood as soon as he heard it. He licked his lips and said with a smile,

"I didn't plan to have breakfast at first, but you have already done it, boss, so I will do what I can and stay and eat with you."

"Then I thank you!"

Jiang Yu gave him a speechless look.

"You're welcome, you're welcome!"

Lu Shuwu didn't know what politeness was, he said,

"Boss, do it first, my little sister is still waiting for me outside the door, I'll call her in.

By the way, you don't mind having more than one person come over for dinner, right? "

"Do you mind if you stop calling?"

"That's impossible, even if I don't eat, I can't starve my little sister, she is so beautiful and so good!"

As Lu Shuwu said, he opened the door and rushed out, ready to call Lu Shuyao.

As Jiang Yu expected, not long after Lu Shuyao came, Hu Zhihai also came.

Therefore, Jiang Yu, who originally only planned to make himself a bowl of clear soup, ended up making breakfast for the four of them abruptly.

Seeing the three people sitting in front of them chatting leisurely while waiting for breakfast, Jiang Yu suddenly felt a little tired:
"As a chef, why is it so difficult to cook a meal for yourself?"
