I work as a chef in the university cafeteria

Chapter 217 Go back to sleep early, everything will be in the dream
On the high-speed train from Shanghai to Jiangzhou.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xining breathed a sigh of relief. Although there was still sadness in his brows, his heart was much more relaxed.

Earlier, she called Jiang Yu, her junior from the same school, and asked him for help. Instead of refusing, Jiang Yu comforted her, saying that everything would be fine.

Inexplicably, she was a little moved.

Speaking of it, although Liu Xining and Jiang Yu have a relationship of senior sister and younger brother, in fact, there is not much connection between the two people.

When Jiang Yu entered Jiang University to study, she had already left the school and jumped into the entertainment circle without hesitation, fighting hard for her dream.

If it wasn't for that time last year, when I had the whim to go back to my alma mater and cheer for the school's welcome party, I'm afraid the two of them would never have had the chance to meet each other, let alone taste Jiang Yu's cooking. Still savoring the delicious food.

However, even though the two of them met once, when he called him for help, he still agreed without hesitation.

How could this not move her?

In addition to being moved, Liu Xining felt somewhat guilty in his heart.

Chenchen's depression is so troublesome, she has heard from many doctors, but under such circumstances, she still pins her hope on Jiang Yu...

This little brother of mine must be very stressed too, right?
But Liu Xining really had no other choice. Rather than pinning his hopes on Jiang Yu, it would be better to say that he treated a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

She really couldn't just watch Chenchen sink down like this day by day, or even fade away...

Just thinking about this, a young woman sitting next to her handed Liu Xining a bottle of mineral water and said:
"Sister Ning, don't frown all the time, it will be a disaster if you really get wrinkles! Come on, drink some water and take it easy!"

This woman is petite and stylishly dressed, but not only is she wearing a baseball cap on her head, but her small face is completely covered by sunglasses and a mask, making it difficult to see her appearance clearly.

After passing a bottle of water to Liu Xining, she looked left and right to see that no one was paying attention, so she unscrewed the mineral water bottle in her hand, pulled off the mask and took a sip of water, put the mask back on quickly, then turned around and asked road,

"Sister Ning, did Junior Brother agree to help?"

"Well, yes."

Liu Xining nodded, turned to look at Pan Jingchen who was sleeping soundly on the chair by the window, felt a little more at ease, then turned back and said,

"When we get there, let's see if we can rent a house near Jiang University. Then we will let Chenchen live there. Xiao Jiang will prepare her three meals a day."

After speaking, she turned her head to look at a man and a woman sitting in the back seat, and ordered, "When the time comes, Chenchen will ask you to take care of it."

The man and the woman are both Pan Jingchen's assistants. They have been with her for several years, so they naturally know how important this matter is. When they heard Liu Xining's words, they nodded repeatedly and said:
"Sister Ning, don't worry, without Sister Chen, we wouldn't be where we are today, and we will definitely take good care of Sister Chen!"

Liu Xining nodded, and said, "Well, you don't have to worry too much. When Chenchen recovers, I won't treat you badly."

Chenchen's current situation is very bad. If she doesn't give these two assistants a little hope and confidence, she is really worried that they will suddenly "hop" and abandon her. Although it is not difficult to find a few people to take care of Chenchen, she I also don't want to cause extra problems and troubles at this time.

After instructing the two assistants, Liu Xining sat upright again, intending to lean on the chair and close his eyes for a while.

Ever since she found out that Pan Jingchen was ill, she hardly had a good rest, so that her complexion was much worse than before.

As soon as she closed her eyes, the girl wearing the mask couldn't help reaching out and pushing her arm, and asked in a low voice:
"Sister Ning, when can we arrive in Jiangzhou?"

"We'll be there at six o'clock."

Liu Xining still closed his eyes and said lightly,

"When we get off the high-speed rail, we'll take a taxi to Jiangda University. After we settle down, we'll meet Xiaojiang."

"Oh."

The young woman pouted, and the corners of her mouth finally couldn't help but turned up slightly. She cleared her throat pretending to be calm, and said,
"Then let's have dinner in the Seventh Canteen?"

"Ah."

Liu Xining nodded slightly, but she reacted in an instant, opened her eyes and glanced at the woman, and said two words from her mouth,
"Food!"

This young woman who covered her face tightly with sunglasses and a mask was none other than Xie Siqi who sang with Liu Xining back to Jiangda at the end of last year.

Since the last time I tasted the delicious food in Seventh Canteen, Xie Siqi has never forgotten it, thinking about when she will have the opportunity to eat it again.

It's a pity that during the time after the new year and the new year, these stars are the busiest time. They are either holding fan meetings or appearing on TV announcements. They don't even have a chance to take a good rest. How can they have time to come to Jiangzhou? Satisfy your appetite?
At that time, what Xie Siqi regretted most was that he didn't know Jiang Yu very well.

If you are familiar with it, that's fine. Even if you don't have time to find him, you can ask him to make delicious food, and then pack it up and deliver it to you!
Just thinking about it makes me feel beautiful!
But this kind of thing can only be imagined in the heart.

Not to mention that she was not familiar with Jiang Yu, even if she did, she would not be able to speak.

This time, Liu Xining will accompany Pan Jingchen to Jiang University to find Jiang Yu, and try to use Jiang Yu's food to "wake up" Pan Jingchen's interest in food. After Xie Siqi heard the news, she asked the company for leave immediately and volunteered to accompany Liu Xining go together.

Her purpose is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.

Xie Siqi didn't know Pan Jingchen well, so naturally she couldn't be Jiangzhou who specially escorted her there, so there was only one answer——

Of course it's for food!

Along the way, although Xie Siqi was jumping for joy, she was so happy that she wanted to jump up, but she finally hid this joy deeply in her heart.

Pan Jingchen fell ill, and Liu Xining was frowning because of this matter. If he behaved cheerfully, wouldn't it seem that he was going too far?

Therefore, after Xie Siqi got into the car, she didn't talk to Liu Xining much about how to arrange things after arriving in Jiangzhou, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back her laughter.

It's really not her fault, who made Jiang Yu's food so attractive? !

……

The first floor of Seven Canteen.

After finishing the phone call with Liu Xining, Jiang Yu didn't think too much, and went straight to the kitchen to boil a pot of water for himself, before going to the small box to rest for a while.

No matter how busy things are, you have to take some time to let yourself relax. The combination of work and rest will not make you more tired, and the efficiency of doing things will be much higher.

As soon as he walked out of the kitchen with the kettle in hand, he saw Jia Dequan walking in from outside the cafeteria with his hands behind his back and a confused face on his face.

"Old Jia, come and have a cup of tea!"

After seeing him, Jiang Yu stopped at the door of the small box, raised his hand and greeted him with a smile,
"You just finished lunch and went out for a walk to digest food?"

"It's all because of my greedy mouth. I ate an extra Qingming fruit in the morning, and my stomach is still full."

Jia Dequan raised a hand to touch his stomach, shook his head helplessly, and said,
"Walk around, bring me a cup of tea too, this tea is a good thing, it can not only clear away heat and detoxify, but also sober up and eliminate food!"

The two entered the small box. Jia Dequan sat down on the sofa and sighed comfortably. Jiang Yu took two clean cups and made a cup of tea for himself and Jia Dequan.

Jia Dequan looked at Jiang Yu who was busy to and fro, and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Jiang, when I was walking around the school, guess who I saw?"

"Who did you see?"

Jiang Yu put the brewed tea on the tea table in front of Jia Dequan, and looked at him curiously.

"Several old men from the Celebrity Chef Committee of the Huaxia Cuisine Association!"

Jia Dequan picked up the teacup and blew on the tea leaves, took a sip of tea carefully, took a long breath, and said with a smile,

"Although the Seventh Canteen is already famous enough, I really didn't expect that it would attract this group of people."

"Huaxia Culinary Famous Chef Committee?"

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised.

At noon, when he was making the imperial dish Wanfu Pork, he felt a little strange, because most people had never even heard of this imperial dish, let alone eaten it.

Although he didn't say anything at the time, he still had some guesses in his heart that the guests in the "Mei" box were definitely not ordinary people.

It's just that he didn't expect that this group of people would be members of the Huaxia Culinary Famous Chef Committee, and it seemed that Lao Jia knew them all.

After a pause, he seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly said with a smile, "By the way, I almost forgot, Lao Jia, you should also be a member of the Huaxia Culinary Famous Chefs Committee, right?"

"Me? Hehe, I just have a name. I don't care much about these false names, old man."

After hearing what Jiang Yu said, Jia Dequan showed a reserved smile on his face. He waved his hand slightly and asked mysteriously,

"Xiao Jiang, guess what they are doing here?"

Jiang Yu joked with a smile: "They have reserved a box, don't they come here for dinner?"

"Of course you have to eat. Although they are also famous chefs, most of them are old-fashioned. They are much more tricky than ordinary people."

Jia Dequan took another sip of water and said with a smile,

"After I met them on the road, I went up and chatted with them. They didn't come to the Seventh Canteen for dinner.

The Huaxia Culinary Association sent their expert group to Jiangzhou. The main task was to confirm on-site the Zhangjiang Provincial Cuisine Association's declaration of Chinese culinary masters and masters.

Of course, the reason why they come to dining room No. [-] is probably because we have been in the limelight recently, so these people will come over to measure your cooking skills and see if the food you cook is popular among the outside world. So powerful. "

"Oh, and then what?"

"Then? Then they were just like the food I had at the Seventh Canteen for the first time. They were all stupid!"

When Jia Dequan said this, he couldn't help laughing, he said,

"After they knew that I was eating and drinking in No. [-] cafeteria, all of them were as curious as a three-year-old child, asking questions around me.

They were so curious that they couldn't understand at all, how can you, a native of the south, cook such authentic Beijing dishes? "

Jiang Yu also laughed after hearing this: "Then how did you answer?"

"How can I answer? I'm curious too!"

Jia Dequan looked at Jiang Yu with burning eyes, and asked,
"Come, come, tell me, how do you know how to cook Beijing cuisine? I heard that you also made a dish of palace Wanfu meat, which made those old men all full of surprises. It feels incredible."

Jiang Yu raised his hand and touched his nose, and said a little embarrassedly: "If I say that this is inherited from the ancestors, do you believe it or not?"

"I believe you a ghost!"

Jia Dequan gave Jiang Yu an angry look, leaned back on the sofa, waved his hands and said,

"Forget it, I don't bother to ask, I don't care how you do it, anyway, as long as I have something to eat."

When Jiang Yu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "You can rest assured, no one will be short of food, and Lao Jia will not be short of your food."

"You still have some conscience!"

After hearing this, Jia Dequan couldn't help laughing, he said,

"I haven't finished yet. Originally, this group of old guys planned to give you a place if your cooking skills are not bad, so that you can participate in the Huaxia Young Master Chef Cooking Competition in August this year.

Turns out after eating the meal you made, guess what?

They immediately dismissed the idea. With your culinary skills, if you really want to participate in this young celebrity chef cooking competition, wouldn't that be pure bullying? "

Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, they didn't invite me, otherwise, I really don't know how to refuse."

His original intention of being a cook was to make money to pay off his debts. Now that the debts have been paid off, he just wants to run the seven canteens in the school well. It's actually quite good to live a mediocre life.

What kind of cooking competition, what kind of cooking association, Jiang Yu has no interest in participating at all.

He's just not the kind of guy who likes to show off.

"You're wrong. If you have a chance, you can still go out and take a look. Broaden your horizons and broaden your thinking. What's wrong with that?"

Jia Dequan didn't agree with Jiang Yu's idea at all, he said patiently,
"Although your cooking skills are already very high, there is no end to improving your skills. How can you improve behind closed doors? You can only continue to improve yourself if you go out and compete with other masters.

During the time I came to Jiangzhou, I also tasted a lot of local dishes. In fact, Zhangjiang cuisine is also very delicious, very close to Hunan cuisine, but why hasn’t Zhangjiang cuisine become one of the eight major cuisines?
The reason is that the audience is too small and there is too little communication with the outside world.

Not to mention outsiders, even the locals don’t know what the specialties of Zhangjiang Cuisine are. How can this be deduced?

Now that you are still so young, you already have such a high level in cooking, and your level may be even higher in the future. Have you never thought about doing something to promote Zhangjiang cuisine? "

Hearing what Jia Dequan said, Jiang Yu couldn't help frowning. He scratched his head and said with a wry smile:

"Shouldn't the promotion of Zhangjiang cuisine be what the Zhangjiang Cuisine Association should do? I'm just a cook in a university cafeteria. Do you think too highly of me?

What's more, the dishes I'm good at are not limited to Zhangjiang dishes..."

"..."

Jia Dequan was choked by these words, but he forgot that Jiang Yu is different from other chefs. Although he is from Zhangjiang, he knows more than Zhangjiang cuisine!
What's more, the Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and Beijing cuisine he cooks are all outstanding!
It's over, I finally pretended to be deep, and wanted to "educate" Jiang Yu, but ended up overturning the car...

His old face was hot for a while, he couldn't help coughing twice, and said with some embarrassment,
"That, that..."

Suddenly he slapped his thigh, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly,

"That's even more right, if you know how to cook such a cuisine, you can go abroad to participate in the competition and promote our Chinese cuisine to foreign friends!
A foreign tire seller can define the level of a restaurant. We are a vast country with a long history of catering culture. Why can’t we set standards for world cuisine? "

Speaking of this, Jia Dequan's old face was flushed red, and even his lips were trembling slightly, obviously excited by his own thoughts.

This is probably what an old cook who has worked hard in the kitchen for decades wants most in his heart?
"Okay, okay, it's getting late, I have to go upstairs to prepare dinner."

Jiang Yu picked up the teacup on the table, drank the tea in it in one go, then stood up, turned around and left, and if he didn't leave, he was worried that Jia Dequan's words would become more outrageous.

Also went abroad to promote Chinese cuisine...

Just kidding, is this what a cook in a university cafeteria should do?
After leaving the door, Jiang Yu paused abruptly, then turned around and said,
"Old Jia, go back to sleep early after dinner at night, you will have everything in your dreams!"

"???"

Jia Dequan couldn't help being stunned for a moment. He watched Jiang Yu's disappearing back, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He couldn't help but shook his head and laughed, and murmured,
"You brat, do you really think I'm talking nonsense?"

……

Dining room number seven, in the kitchen.

Just as Jiang Yu finished cooking a dish, Yan Tongtong hurried over and said to him:
"Brother Jiang, I've arranged those people into the 'Chun' box. There are five people in total."

"Oh, well, you go about your business."

Jiang Yu nodded, then turned to Du Guangning and said,

"Xiao Du, you should deal with these dishes first, and pay attention to the time of the stewed meat in the pot, don't let the meat be stewed, I have something to do here, I will be back in a few minutes."

"Okay, boss, you go, I will watch."

Du Guangning responded readily.

During his time as a chef assistant in No. [-] dining room, Jiang Yu gave him a lot of advice, almost answering every question without hiding his secrets, which made his cooking skills significantly improved compared to before. It is completely impossible in the back kitchen of other big restaurants.

This also made Du Guangning feel how wise it was to decide to stay.

Of course, he is not an ungrateful person. If Jiang Yu treats each other with sincerity, he will definitely do things with all his heart.

Jiang Yu didn't care what Du Guangning was thinking. After giving an order, he took a towel from the side and wiped his hands, then strode out of the kitchen and walked straight to the "Chun" box.

Just a few minutes ago, Liu Xining called and said that they had arrived at the entrance of the cafeteria of Jiang University, but there were too many students inside, and they dared not come in, fearing that accidents would happen if students recognized them accidentally.

So, Jiang Yu let Yan Tongtong go downstairs and brought them up.

When he came to the "Chun" private room, Jiang Yu reached out and knocked on the door. After hearing the voice of "Please come in" from inside, he opened the door and walked in.

There were five people sitting at the dining table in the private room. Although the girl sitting in the middle was wearing a mask, Jiang Yu recognized Liu Xining at a glance.

The one sitting on the right side of Liu Xining not only wears a baseball cap on her head, but also her face is completely covered by a pair of big sunglasses and a mask, but judging by the long hair protruding from the back of her hat , obviously also a girl.

This made Jiang Yu speechless for a while. It was already seven or eight o'clock, and it was already dark outside, so he still wore sunglasses?

As for the other three people, they didn't wear sunglasses, let alone masks. Of these three people, two women and one man, neither of them were too old, nor were they particularly outstanding in appearance. They probably belonged to Liu Xining and this girl with sunglasses. assistant.

It's complicated to say, but it's just a glance. After Jiang Yu entered the door, he smiled at Liu Xining and said:

"Senior Sister Liu, long time no see!"

"Xiao Jiang, I really want to thank you this time."

Liu Xining stood up from her seat and took off the mask on her face. She said apologetically,

"If it wasn't really impossible, I wouldn't bother you."

"Senior Sister, you have said this many times, and it would seem too preposterous to say it again."

Jiang Yu waved his hand and said with a smile,

"Besides, cooking is my job, so what's the trouble?
You have come all the way here, you must be very hungry now, right?You can order whatever dishes you want, and I can make them for you right now.

As for other things, let's sit down and have a good chat after everyone is full, okay? "

"Okay, when you get here, of course it's up to you to arrange, what kind of food to eat, you just watch and do it."

Liu Xining naturally knew that Jiang Yu was busy now, so he didn't say much. Anyway, everyone has already arrived, so are you afraid that you don't have time to talk about things?
As for a la carte?How can I order food now!

"Okay, senior sister, drink some tea and rest for a while, I'll cook first."

Jiang Yu smiled, turned around and left the box.

After he walked out of the box, he hadn't taken a few steps when a petite figure suddenly appeared behind him, jumped in front of him, and shouted excitedly:
"Brother, guess who I am?"
