I work as a chef in the university cafeteria

Chapter 161 After eating all the bitterness of life, only the sweetness is left for him

"Then, shall I try it?"

"Try it!"

"..."

Hearing Jiang Yu's words, grandma didn't hesitate any longer, like a big girl getting on a sedan chair for the first time, after a while of swaying, she let go completely with confidence and courage.

She wiped her hands vigorously on the apron, then stretched out to take the bowl and chopsticks from Jiang Yu's hand, leaned in front of her and took a deep breath, her eyes narrowed with intoxication.

Holding the chopsticks, she didn't pick and choose, she picked up a piece of crispy stewed mutton, put it to her mouth and took a bite:

"Wow! This mutton is so well stewed, it's fragrant and glutinous, you can eat it without teeth, it's delicious!"

"If you like to eat, you can eat a few more pieces. It's a big pot of stew, enough to eat!"

Seeing grandma eating happily, Jiang Yu was also very happy. He asked, "How is it? Is the saltiness okay?"

"It's right, it's right! It's just right!"

Grandma was so satisfied that her face was flushed, and she nodded repeatedly. She ate the mutton and asked,
"Xiao Yu, are you really cooking these dishes?"

"Yes, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious! That's why you suddenly know how to cook? I didn't realize that your cooking is so delicious before!"

"Grandma, have you forgotten?"

Jiang Yu said with a smile while filling up the stewed braised mutton in the pot,

"Didn't I tell you? I'm opening a cafeteria in the school now. If the food here is not delicious, which student would like to come?"

"Then you don't have to cook for many people every day?"

"Well, there are more than 1000 people!"

"You cook for more than 1000 people every day?"

Grandma was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that the mutton in the bowl was not fragrant, she murmured,

"My Xiaoyu is working too hard. He has to cook for so many people every day. How tiring is that?"

"Grandma, don't worry, there are more than ten people in the cafeteria, and I'm not doing things alone."

When Jiang Yu saw it, he guessed that grandma was worried, so he said quickly,

"And I'm the owner of the cafeteria, have you ever seen a boss who is so tired every day?
I just direct other people to do things every day! "

"Don't lie to me, it's not easy being a boss."

Grandma shook her head and said,
"The owner of the fried noodle shop next to the vegetable market is as tired as a dog every day, and he can't make much money..."

Jiang Yu: "..."

Grandma, if you compare the fried noodle shop on the street with my seven canteens, you are somewhat disrespectful to a canteen as big as mine!

The grandparents and grandchildren stood in the kitchen, one was eating delicious mutton with a bowl, and the other was frying vegetables around the stove, chatting from time to time, forgetting about a group of relatives and elders for a while.

Grandma was eating so much that her mouth was full of oil, when suddenly an old lady's voice came from behind:

"Oh, I said old sister-in-law, you are really good!
They said they invited all of us to dinner, but when they came, they left us in the lobby and ran to the kitchen to steal food by themselves! "

"Wow! This kitchen is really fragrant, much more fragrant than the smell outside!"

"Old sister-in-law, what are you eating? Seeing that your mouth is full of oil, you feel delicious, leave a bite for me to taste!"

"..."

After grandma heard these voices, she froze for a moment. Half a piece of mutton was stuffed in her mouth, and she didn't know whether to swallow it or spit it out.

Her eyeballs rolled wildly, and while turning around, she quickly chewed a few mouthfuls, swallowed them, and then looked back.

Well!The group of old men and old ladies whom I had invited all crowded into the kitchen, all of them had bright eyes, staring fixedly at the dishes on the stove.

With that appearance, if it wasn't for the fact that there were other people around him, he would have rushed over to eat it long ago!

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu! I'm your aunt, I loved you so much when you were young, and I wanted to keep all the delicious food for you!

You, you, hurry up and give my aunt a pair of bowls and chopsticks, I want to taste the meat your grandma eats too! "

"Xiao Yu, I'm your uncle, you peed all over me when you were a child! Uncle, I'm hungry now, can you give me something to eat?"

"A group of old people who are not ashamed, they get greedy when they get hungry, what are they talking about when they were young? Who remembers so much about childhood?"

"..."

A group of old men and old ladies are crowded in the kitchen, and you talk to each other, making the small kitchen noisy.

Grandma didn't know what to do, but Jiang Yu didn't panic at all. He quickly took out clean bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard, and divided half of the braised mutton that had been served long ago on the stove. bowls, and handed them over one by one, smiling and saying:

"Everyone, don't worry, since we've all come in, let's eat in this kitchen, it happens that it's cold outside, and it's warmer in the kitchen.

Eat slowly, don't choke, I have prepared a lot of dishes today, and keep everyone full! "

When the old men and women heard this, they were immediately satisfied. They all laughed and gave Jiang Yu their thumbs up:

"Let me just say, Xiao Yu is sensible, take a look, am I right?"

"Does it matter? My old sister-in-law's eldest grandson, can he be worse than others?"

"Today we ate in the kitchen, and we can still enjoy the fire, how comfortable it is!"

"..."

Jiang Yu brought the braised mutton to them one by one, and ran back and forth several times, bringing stools and chairs from the living room, and let these people sit down and eat slowly.

After finishing all this, he quietly tugged on grandma's sleeve and asked in a low voice:

"Grandma, there are braised pork knuckles, rice noodles and fish heads in the pot. What else do you want? Shall I pack some for you?"

"Let's just wait."

Grandma put the empty bowl in her hand on the stove, hesitated and said,
"We are inviting them, the elders, to dinner today, so why should we eat first?

Or wait until they are full, I will eat a little more casually. "

When grandma was buying vegetables in the vegetable market yesterday, although she felt a little distressed, when it was time to invite others to dinner, she became generous again.

In fact, she was not a stingy person in the first place, it was purely because she was used to saving money, and seeing Jiang Yu spending money lavishly suddenly, she just couldn't get used to it for a while.

"Okay, then I will continue to cook, and I will finish a few more dishes."

Hearing what grandma said, Jiang Yu followed her, turned around and went back to the stove, stuffed a few more pieces of firewood into the stove, and continued to work.

Those old men and old ladies couldn't control these things. After they sat down on stools and chairs of different heights, they held bowls in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and began to bury their heads in eating.

"Hey! This, this is braised mutton, right? The stew is really crispy, the fat will melt, and it will fall off with a sip. It's really delicious!"

"This lean meat is also delicious, very tender and smooth, the juice bursts out after a bite, it's so fresh!"

"This dish is much more delicious than the ones in the restaurant. Today's visit is really worth it!"

"..."

The old men and old ladies were full of praise while eating, and suddenly someone seemed to remember something and asked,
"Hey, didn't you say that there is a chef cooking? Where is this chef?
It's so delicious, the chef must be very good, right? "

"What chef, this is what our Xiaoyu made!"

When grandma heard someone mentioning this, her face immediately showed a proud expression. She turned to look at her eldest grandson, and said proudly,

"Our Xiaoyu has been preparing it early in the morning, otherwise where can you get such delicious food?"

"What? This, Xiao Yu made this?"

"Xiaoyu's dishes are so delicious, I never expected that they are no worse than chefs in big restaurants!"

"What am I talking about? Xiaoyu is promising! Can be admitted to graduate school, and can cook such good dishes, others are really not even envious!"

"Xiao Yu's life has been settled! Even if he doesn't study now, he can earn a lot of money just by cooking in restaurants!"

"..."

The old men and women kept boasting that they had no evil intentions, they just said some good things, but grandma stood aside and was not happy after hearing it.

She curled her lips and muttered:
"What's so good about cooking for others? Our family, Xiaoyu, won't be a chef. He's a graduate student. It's better to find a job after graduation than to be a chef!"

"Old sister-in-law, you can't say that!"

An old lady probably didn't understand the meaning of grandma's words, she said,
"A younger brother of my niece and daughter-in-law's family worked as a chef in a big restaurant in the city, earning [-] to [-] yuan a month, and within a year, he bought a small car and drove back.

There is no distinction between high and low in the current job, it is good if you can make money! "

"Then my Xiaoyu won't be a cook either!"

Grandma seemed to be angry with someone, and said with an unhappy face,
"I'd rather he find a more leisurely job after graduating from college, where he can sit in the office and turn on the air conditioner every day, than hide in the kitchen and cook for others every day for some money.

I don't ask him how much money he makes, it's enough for him to support himself, and living a more comfortable life is better than anything else! "

When the old men and women heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what to say.

In fact, think about it, what grandma said is right, she has lived too hard for the rest of her life, she does not want her grandson to live so hard, she just wants him to live more comfortably, this is not very normal ?

Although chefs earn more money, they earn hard money. In terms of ease and comfort, how can it compare to those who sit in the office with the air conditioner blowing on their shifts?

Jiang Yu stood aside, listening to what grandma said, his heart was full of emotion.

Grandma has suffered so much in her life, she has probably been thinking:

I have eaten all the bitterness in life, and the only thing left for Jiang Yu is sweetness, right?
