I work as a chef in the university cafeteria

Chapter 219 When eating, who has time to talk?
Jiang University, Taoyuan Hall.

When Liu Xining and the others came back, they found that Pan Jingchen was still sleeping on the bed, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although there was still an assistant in the room to take care of her, Liu Xining was still very worried before. She was afraid that Pan Jingchen would wake up and find that the surroundings were so strange that she would be so frightened that she would break down emotionally. At that time, an assistant might not be able to handle it.

She put the insulated lunch box she packed back on the coffee table, and then said to the female assistant named Liu Qian:
"Qianqian, I asked someone to bring you some food. Go and eat something. You are tired today. Go to bed early after eating. I just need to watch over here."

"Oh, okay, I'll trouble Sister Ning then."

Liu Qian is Pan Jingchen's life assistant, and her usual job is to take care of Pan Jingchen's daily life and daily life.

Now seeing Liu Xining doing what she should do for her, he was naturally very grateful.

Liu Qian is not very old, only 25 or [-] years old. She has never understood depression before, and now Pan Jingchen has this disease suddenly. To be honest, Liu Qian is still quite uncertain.

If it weren't for the fact that she had been with Pan Jingchen for several years, and Pan Jingchen was not only very generous to these little assistants, but also very kind. She would never reprimand the little assistants like servants like some people did, which made her very grateful. Maybe she ran away when Pan Jingchen got sick.

After Liu Qian left, Liu Xining went over and closed the door and buckled the safety, then took a set of clean clothes from the suitcase he carried, and prepared to take a shower first.

After driving the car all afternoon, she has been busy until now, and she is already very tired. She just wants to take a shower early and lie on the bed to rest.

Because Pan Jingchen was still sleeping, Liu Xining didn't dare to spend too long in the bathroom, so he took a hasty shower without even washing his hair, and came out wrapped in a thick bathrobe.

After walking out of the bathroom, she hurried to the room to have a look, and found that Pan Jingchen had woken up at some point. At this moment, she was hugging the quilt and curling up in the corner, with her head lowered and her shoulders twitching.

Pan Jingchen was crying silently!

Liu Xining's heart trembled, and he hurried over, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and comforted her, "Chenchen, what's wrong with you? Are you having a nightmare?"

"Well, I dreamed about my mother again."

Pan Jingchen leaned her head in Liu Xining's arms, tears rolled down her face like broken pearls, she murmured,

"Summer is here, my mother wanted to buy me a small skirt, but she had no money, so she asked my father for it. As a result, my father not only refused to pay, but also beat and scolded my mother! I, I was so scared, so I I can only hide and cry..."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

Liu Xining took out a tissue from one side, carefully wiped away the tears on Pan Jingchen's face, and said softly,
"This is all a dream, fake."

"It's not fake, that's how my dad beat my mom when I was young."

Pan Jingchen shook her head and said in a low voice,

"My mother passed away so early, and she was killed by my father. In his bones, he was patriarchal. He just didn't want us mother and daughter to have a better life. He wished that we would die sooner."

"..."

Liu Xining has read a lot of books on depression during this time, and knowing that Pan Jingchen is in a dead end, it is always easy to suspect that others are trying to harm her.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Didn't you tell me that your mother died of illness? Moreover, when your mother passed away, your father was still crying to death."

Pan Jingchen sighed, and said, "He still has feelings for my mother, maybe he feels that he is too incompetent to earn money to support his family."

Pan Jingchen's words are somewhat contradictory to what she said before, but Liu Xining is not surprised at all. This is the duality of the way of thinking of depression patients, trying to understand while absolutely doubting.

A patient with depression once said that he seemed to be living in two worlds, wandering in two worlds, and it was very painful.

And Pan Jingchen is currently in this state.

Putting aside the messy emotions in his mind, Liu Xining patted Pan Jingchen's arm lightly, smiled and said:

"Let's not talk about that, you haven't eaten all day, you must be very hungry, right? I brought you your favorite food, how do you taste it?"

Pan Jingchen shook her head and said, "Forget it, I don't want to eat."

"You don't even know anything, so you just say you don't want to eat?"

Liu Xining ignored her, walked to the tea table on his own, brought over the insulated lunch box, opened it, and said to her,
"Besides, what can you do if you don't eat, when the time comes, you will be so hungry that you will have no strength, so you can only lie on the bed, unable to go anywhere.

I'm still thinking about asking you to accompany me to the movies someday, your hero Willie Cruise's new movie "Black Swan" will be released soon! "

The insulation effect of this insulated lunch box is not bad. It has been almost an hour since I returned to the hotel from the Seventh Canteen. The stewed noodles with tomatoes and fish in the lunch box are still steaming. Liu Xining couldn't help swallowing.

"Chenchen, guess what I brought you?"

Liu Xining delivered the lunch box to Pan Jingchen, and said with a smile,

"This is your favorite stewed noodle fish with tomatoes. Didn't you say before that you like to eat fish noodle cooked by your grandmother? How about this taste!"

Pan Jingchen sat on the bed with the quilt in her arms, staring blankly at the special pasta from her hometown in the lunch box in front of her. The diced tomatoes had been completely cooked, and the strong sour aroma was drilled into her nose. The noodle fish is crystal clear and looks delicious.

"Gollum!"

In the quiet room, there was a clear sound of swallowing saliva suddenly.

Liu Xining turned his head to look at Pan Jingchen in some surprise, and saw that her eyes were fixed on the stewed noodles with tomatoes and fish in the lunch box, and her dry and pale lips squirmed a few times.

When she was thinking about whether to encourage Chenchen, she turned her eyes and saw that Pan Jingchen's right hand had already protruded from the quilt. Oat noodle fish fish, hesitantly put a small bite in his mouth, and chewed slowly.

"How is it? Does it taste good?" Liu Xining looked at her expectantly.

"Well, it's delicious, even better than the ones made in our restaurants."

Pan Jingchen nodded lightly, and the speed of chewing also began to speed up.

After eating a piece of oatmeal fish, she probably felt that the lunch box was too far away to hold it. Pan Jingchen took the initiative to stretch out her other hand, brought the lunch box in front of her, and began to eat big mouthfuls.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xining was extremely excited.

She knew that even anorexic patients could not refuse Jiang Yu's food, and Chenchen who was suffering from depression would definitely not refuse.

Hasn't Chenchen already started eating it now?
The insulated lunch box is not too big, but the food it contains is enough to fill a person's stomach. Pan Jingchen doesn't know whether it is because she has been hungry for too long, or because she really likes stewed noodles with tomatoes and fish. The bowl of pasta was eaten up.

Even the soup left in the bowl was poured into his mouth without a drop.

After eating, she seemed to be a little bit unsatisfied, licked her lips, raised her head to look at Liu Xining, and asked:
"Any more?"

"Didn't eat enough?"

Liu Xining was taken aback for a moment, then came to his senses and said hastily,
"Chenchen, it's already past ten o'clock at night, you can't eat that much, I'll bring you other delicious food tomorrow morning!"

"Ah."

Pan Jingchen didn't object at all. After a while, she bit her lip lightly and said in a low voice,
"This stewed oatmeal fish with tomatoes seems to have the taste of my grandma."

Liu Xining was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward, gently embraced her in his arms, and said with a light smile:

"This proves that grandma's spirit in heaven also hopes that Chenchen can eat and sleep well, and live happily every day!"

The next day, Liu Xining, Xie Siqi and others came to the Seventh Canteen early in the morning.

Before entering the cafeteria, they saw people coming and going in the cafeteria hall, it was very lively, and the students who were queuing up had already stood outside the door.

It was the first time for Liu Xining and others to see this scene, and they all stopped subconsciously, not daring to go inside.

"Well, the business of this cafeteria is too good, isn't it?"

Xie Siqi's eyes were wide open. She had never seen a university canteen that was as crowded as No.

She couldn't help but say, "Junior brother is really capable, running a student cafeteria, the business can be so hot!"

"Let's call Xiao Jiang to see if there are other doors we can go in."

Liu Xining was a little helpless. In fact, she didn't want to bother Jiang Yu with anything. She originally thought that everyone could just buy some food on the first floor in the morning to fill their stomachs. She didn't expect so many people to come to the cafeteria so early. people.

Judging by the current situation, it is not necessarily possible to squeeze in even if you squeeze.

Xie Siqi also said: "That's the only way to go, there are too many people, if the two of us are recognized, who knows if we will be stuck inside and unable to get out."

"Well, then I'll call Xiaojiang."

Liu Xining nodded, took out his mobile phone from his bag, and called Jiang Yu.

After a while, Jiang Yu came out from the cafeteria. He walked forward in two steps in three steps, waved to Liu Xining and others, and said with a light smile:

"Senior sister, this way, just come in through the side door of the kitchen."

"okay!"

Liu Xining responded, and walked forward behind Jiang Yu, and Xie Siqi and others quickly followed.

After walking a few steps, Liu Xining recalled what happened last night, and she felt excited again. She couldn't help but said to Jiang Yu:
"Xiaojiang, Chenchen likes the stewed noodles with tomatoes and fish that I brought back yesterday. She not only ate it, but also ate it all up!"

"is it?"

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Liu Xining in surprise, and said,

"That's fine, as long as she's willing to eat, it won't be too bad."

"She finished the pasta and asked me if I had any, which shows that she really likes it. She has never had a desire for any kind of food before."

Liu Xining let out a long sigh of relief. She felt that her decision to bring Pan Jingchen to Jiang Yu for help was definitely the most correct choice. Otherwise, how could she persuade Chenchen to eat more when she was still worried? .

No matter how delicious the food made by other people is, it has no such effect, and only the food made by Jiang Yu can make a person who has no appetite to swallow his mouth water.

That's what it is!

Liu Xining was suddenly very fortunate that he was once a student of Jiang University, otherwise, how could he know such a strange person as Jiang Yu?
After suppressing the excitement in her heart, she said again,

"Chenchen also told me yesterday that the stewed oatmeal fish with tomatoes tasted like her grandmother's in her mouth.

do you know?She once told me that her grandmother's stewed noodles with tomatoes and fish is the best food in the world!
It can be seen how high the evaluation of the pasta you made is in her heart! "

"Is it the little Yuyu you made last night?"

Before Jiang Yu had time to say anything, Xie Siqi who was following behind also came up, looked at Liu Xining curiously, then at Jiang Yu, and said exaggeratedly,

"That little fish is really delicious. It's smooth, tender, and sour. I ate it up as soon as I got back!"

After saying this, her little face changed again, and she added with a bitter face,
"It's just that I ate too much, and my stomach was swollen, which made me toss and turn all night and couldn't sleep..."

"You, you don't know how to control yourself. I told you not to eat so much in the middle of the night, but you didn't listen!"

Liu Xining glared at Xie Siqi, and said angrily, "When you become a ball in the future, you should regret it!"

Xie Siqi's face collapsed, and she said weakly, "It's a big deal, I'll eat less today!"

Before they could say a few words, Jiang Yu led them in through the side door of the kitchen of the Seventh Canteen.

At this moment, the chefs in the kitchen are busy sending all kinds of breakfasts such as hot stew, soup dumplings, spring rolls, etc. to the sales room. Immediately, I felt more hungry.

Xie Siqi's eyes sparkled even more, and she repeatedly exclaimed:
"Wow! There are deep-fried spring rolls and spring pancakes! Is that hot? It smells so good, oh, my mouth is watering!"

Liu Xining at the side shook her head helplessly when she saw her like this. She said before that she should eat less today. Looking at her foodie appearance, she probably ate more than last night!
Jiang Yu said: "Don't worry, I'll take you to the private room first, and I'll have someone bring you over what you want to eat later."

Xie Siqi nodded in satisfaction when she heard this: "Junior Brother is really sensible, not bad, not bad, has a future!"

After entering the box, the door was closed, and the noise and noise in the cafeteria hall was immediately blocked out. The quiet box relieved Liu Xining's tense nerves. She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. said:

"Originally we planned to go to the first floor to buy something to eat. It's still so early. I didn't expect so many students to come here to eat. It seems that the students like the food in the Seventh Canteen very much!"

"It's okay. After all, it's a bit far from the student dormitory, and even further from the teaching building. Many students don't want to get up in the morning."

Jiang Yu smiled, and asked again,
"We have more varieties of breakfast, what do you want to eat, sister? I will ask the waiter to bring it to you in a while."

Before Liu Xining could speak, Xie Siqi stood up abruptly, and said expectantly:

"I've heard people say that the soup dumpling here is delicious, we want to eat the soup dumpling!"

"Well, what else?"

"Hot stew, some meat and vegetables, and spring rolls, I just saw it."

Xie Siqi tilted her head and frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about what else to do, when suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said happily,

"Oh, and porridge! I want eight-treasure porridge with longan and lotus seeds!"

Jiang Yu looked at Liu Xining and asked, "How about you, Senior Sister?"

"Siqi, how can you eat so much by yourself?"

Liu Xining shook his head helplessly, then said to Jiang Yu,
"Just like Siqi, we are not picky eaters, we can eat anything.

Take the portions for the five of us. Don’t take too much. If you are not full, you can order more. If you order too much and you can’t finish it, it will be a waste. "

"Then senior sister, wait a moment, breakfast will be delivered soon."

Jiang Yu smiled at Liu Xining, turned around, opened the door of the box and walked out.

After a while, three part-time students brought in various breakfasts and filled the dining table.

"Wow! This soup dumpling is too beautiful, isn't it? Sister Ning, if you look at it, you can see the soup inside the steamed stuffed bun moving. It looks so delicious!"

As soon as the waiter left, Xie Siqi couldn't wait to bring a basket of soup dumpling and put it in front of her. While chatting, she picked up the chopsticks and put a soup dumpling into the bowl, then leaned forward to bite a small bit.

At this moment, her face changed!

She didn't even want to waste the time to say a word, she buried her head and started to eat big mouthfuls.

Seeing this, Liu Xining couldn't help frowning, this girl's behavior is a bit strange!

In the past, if she ate something delicious, she would definitely chatter like a sparrow, but now after eating this soup dumpling, she is silent.

This, is this really delicious, or is it not delicious?

With this kind of doubt, Liu Xining also picked up a soup dumpling and put it to her mouth, took a bite, and then sucked it lightly, a burst of delicious and rich soup flowed into her mouth instantly, making her expression froze immediately .

Immediately afterwards, she became like Xie Siqi, no longer caring about what to say, she lowered her head and started eating in a muffled voice.

As for the other three assistants, they had already gnawed on the braised duck neck and ate the baked spring pancakes, all of them gobbled it up as if they had never eaten.

At this moment, who has time to talk?

……

In the kitchen on the first floor, Jiang Yu returned here after arranging breakfast for Liu Xining and others.

Lu Shuwu, Ma Guoqiang and the others had almost finished their work, and they were sitting in front of the console, eating breakfast and chatting.

Seeing Jiang Yu came back, Lu Shuwu asked gossipingly:

"Boss, which girl gave you that gift yesterday? Was it the one in white just now?"

When preparing today's breakfast in the kitchen on the first floor last night, Jiang Yu took out the gift box that had been in his pocket and put it aside, but Lu Shuwu saw it all at once.

After Lu Shuwu questioned, Jiang Yu didn't hide much, and told him that it was a gift from a girl.

Unexpectedly, after a whole night, this kid still remembers this incident!
When Ma Guoqiang heard it, his eyes lit up immediately, and he came over:
"Oh, there are girls giving gifts to the boss? Good thing! Tell me, isn't this girl pretty? Where is she from? What does she do?"

After all, he is old, so the question is like checking household registration.

"Don't guess, it's just a friend, not what you think."

Jiang Yu glared at the two of them, and said angrily, "With so much food, can't you keep your mouths shut?"

"Oh, boss, you can't say that, don't we care about you!"

Lu Shuwu said with a smile, "Look, spring is here, peach blossoms are in full bloom, and we hope you can meet peach blossoms too!"

"Hehe, you can do it."

Jiang Yu glanced at him, curled his lips and said, "Don't forget, you are three years older than me, single dog!"

"..."

The smile on Lu Shuwu's face froze, and he froze there.

Originally, I wanted to tease the boss, but I didn't expect that I was "general" to death instead!
Seeing this, the others couldn't help laughing.

After breakfast, Jiang Yu came to the box again, and Liu Xining, Xie Siqi and others were already full.

That's right, a group of people are not only full, but like last night, everyone is full.

Seeing Jiang Yu approaching, Liu Xining blushed slightly, and said with a look of embarrassment:

"Xiao Jiang, the food you cook is really delicious. I'm really worried. If I stay with you for a few days, I will probably gain a lot of weight."

"Yeah yeah!"

Xie Siqi also shouted,
"It's all my fault, Junior Brother. It's so delicious. I didn't want to eat so much, but I couldn't stop!"

"What should I do?"

Jiang Yu laughed and said intentionally, "How about I ask other chefs in the canteen to cook for you at noon today?"

"do not want!"

Both Liu Xining and Xie Siqi couldn't help shouting, and after they finished shouting, they realized that Jiang Yu was teasing them.

Embarrassed, Liu Xining wished he could dig out a two-bedroom and one living room on the ground.

Xie Siqi didn't feel embarrassed, she wrinkled her nose, "hummed", and said, "Junior Brother, you are too bad!"

Jiang Yu smiled and didn't continue to tease them. After all, they are not too familiar yet, so it's better to restrain themselves.

He turned his head to look at Liu Xining, and asked, "Senior Sister, what breakfast do you plan to bring Miss Pan? Is it porridge or buns?"

"Bring a soup dumpling and a salty porridge, Chenchen doesn't like sweet things."

Speaking of business, Liu Xining immediately recovered, she thought for a while and said, "That's about it."

This soup dumpling is also pasta, and the taste is so delicious, Chenchen will definitely like it, just like the stewed noodles with tomatoes yesterday!
