I work as a chef in the university cafeteria

Chapter 256 The Magic Power of the Legendary Food

After Zhu Yaxue successfully snapped up a copy of the "Fan Welfare" Peach Blossom Shortbread, she stopped thinking about it and started looking for other story materials.

Jiang Yu and his Jiang Daqi cafeteria were just one of the many materials she collected and wrote in the story. As a magazine editor, naturally she would not put all her hopes on him.

Otherwise, once Jiang Yu's story was too mediocre or boring, she would be blinded.

After a day or two of mindless busy work, when she almost forgot about the "fan benefits", the courier delivered.

"Xiaoxue, this courier was delivered from Jiangzhou. Who sent it to you?"

In the magazine office, a girl Yueyue who was about the same age as Zhu Yaxue came up to take a look, and asked with interest,
"Didn't you study in Chang'an? Why do you still know people from Jiangzhou University?"

"This is something I bought on Douyin."

Looking at the tightly packed small package in front of her, Zhu Yaxue, who was still irritated by some trivial things in the magazine, suddenly became excited.

Is this the "fan welfare" peach blossom shortbread that I snapped up?

Is its taste really as crispy, crispy and delicious as those netizens in Douyin's comments said?
Of course she knows that to objectively evaluate whether a food tastes good, she can't hide and taste it by herself, because one's taste is biased.

Only if everyone says it is delicious, then this kind of food is really delicious.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yaxue chose the delivery address at the magazine instead of at home, and sent it to the magazine, so everyone can have a taste.

Thinking of this, she turned her head and smiled at Yueyue, and said to her,

"It's a mille-feuille shortbread made of peach blossoms. I heard it's delicious. Let's try it together later. How about the taste?"

"Peach Blossom Crisp?"

Yueyue's pretty brows frowned into a peach blossom, she blinked her big eyes, and said with some hesitation,
"The shortbread tastes dry, right? You have to have a bite of the cake and a sip of tea, otherwise, you'll be choked on, right?

Wait a minute, I'll go flush some water first! "

As she said that, she turned around and ran back to her workstation with a "boom boom" and went to fill the cup with tea.

"..."

Zhu Yaxue was speechless.

She shook her head, ignored her, turned around and took a utility knife from the table, gently cut the adhesive strip on the package, and then carefully took out a beautifully packaged cardboard box from inside.

This box is so beautiful!
The lid of the box is beige, with four large black characters "Peach Blossom Shortbread" written in the center of the front, and the words "Jiang Daqi Canteen" written on the side, and on the other side, an ancient poem related to peach blossoms is inscribed.

Zhu Yaxue found this ancient poem a little strange, as if she had never read it before.

The body of the box under the lid is bright yellow, which looks very high-end.

"Ah! This box is so exquisite! Is it filled with peach blossom shortbread?"

At this time, Yueyue has also returned, holding a cup of slightly steaming tea in her hand, looking at the gift box in Zhu Yaxue's hand, she said in surprise,

"'Peach blossoms burst out of the fence and smile, as if they are not in bloom, the most affectionate.'

This ancient poem has an artistic conception, and this store looks very cultured at first glance!
Such a cultured store, the peach blossom shortbread made must be delicious, right? "

"Whether it's delicious or not, we'll find out in a while."

Zhu Yaxue smiled, and just about to open the box, several other people from the magazine also heard the movement and gathered together,
"Hey, what delicious food did Xiaoxue buy? Give me some too!"

"The packaging of these food sellers is becoming more and more beautiful now, but I don't know if this cake is good or not?"

"I have eaten cherry blossom cakes and rose flower cakes, but I have never eaten peach blossom shortcakes!"

"..."

The editors in the magazine often go out to collect stories and materials, and there are not many people staying in the office. Right now, they are all gathered in front of Zhu Yaxue's work station, looking at the peach shortbread box in her hand, chatting about it stand up.

"Don't worry, there is a share for those who see it. After a while, everyone will taste the taste and tell me if this cake is delicious?"

Zhu Yaxue said with a smile, raised her hand and lifted the lid of the box, revealing six peach blossom shortcakes packed in the box.

Each of the six peach blossom shortcakes is packaged in a separate plastic cake tray, and a strip of slender colorful stickers is pasted on it, which looks clean and classy.

"Let's not talk about whether this peach blossom shortbread is good or not, just from the packaging, it can be seen that the shop has put a lot of thought into it."

Yueyue looked at the six peach blossom shortbread neatly arranged in the barrier, her eyes lit up, and she praised,

"It's not like some shops at all. The food is packed together randomly. It looks dirty and messy, and people can't even arouse their appetite."

"Indeed, when making food, whether it tastes good or not is second to none, but it must be clean, otherwise who would dare to eat it?"

"Hehe, the roadside stalls are so dirty, not to mention the garbage everywhere, and the ones that use gutter oil, don't you still enjoy eating?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"..."

"Okay, okay! One by one, so many words!"

Zhu Yaxue reached out and took a peach blossom shortbread from the box, then put the rest on the table together with the box, curled her lips and said,

"Try it quickly, see if the peach blossom shortbread is delicious, and remember to tell me how you feel after eating."

A male colleague reached out to take a peach blossom shortbread and joked with a smile:
"Xiaoxue, it's just a cake, you don't want us to write about the aftertaste, do you?"

Yueyue and other girls heard this, and they all laughed so hard that their flowers and branches trembled.

"If you are a talented person willing to write, that's of course the best!"

Zhu Yaxue glanced at the man and said with a smile,

"I'm worried about what to write for the next food column."

"Wow! This, this peach blossom shortbread is really crispy and crispy!"

Several people were chatting and laughing, and an exclamation suddenly rang in their ears, startling Zhu Yaxue, Yueyue and others.

Everyone followed the sound and looked to the side, only to see a female colleague with a bulging mouth, as if she was eating something, with a surprised expression on her face. Open it, and hold it in front of your chin.

Everyone could see clearly that her outstretched left hand was covered with bright yellow cake crumbs.

Seeing everyone staring at her, the female colleague was stunned and urged:

"Why are you looking at me? Eat it quickly, this cake is delicious! If you don't like it, leave it to me!"

As she said that, she opened her mouth and carefully took another bite of the shortbread in her hand, as if she didn't want to waste it, even the crumbs that fell on her left hand, she licked into her mouth bit by bit.

Seeing this female colleague's expression as if she had eaten a fairy fruit, Zhu Yaxue didn't pay much attention.

This female colleague likes to be surprised. She can even eat a pack of instant noodles and praise it as a delicacy that is rare in the sky and unparalleled in the world. She even drank the soup completely...

Just like her, Zhu Yaxue even suspected that in the eyes of this female colleague, there is nothing bad in this world.

Although this female colleague's evaluation is not credible, to be honest, Zhu Yaxue still envies her.

Everything she eats is delicious, so how happy her life should be.

Shaking her head, Zhu Yaxue put aside the chaotic thoughts in her head, picked up the peach blossom shortbread in the plastic cake holder, put it near her mouth and took a bite.

With just such a light bite, the crust of the peach blossom shortbread shattered layer by layer as if under a heavy weight.

A strong aroma emanates from the cake and rushes straight into the nostrils. There is also a faint peach blossom aroma in this aroma, as if you are in a ten-mile peach blossom forest. Where you can see, there are clusters of fresh pink peach blossoms...

Zhu Yaxue subconsciously held her breath.

It seems that only in this way can this refreshing aroma stay longer.

It seems that only in this way can the consciousness stay longer in the dreamlike Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest.

Zhu Yaxue was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but took another bite of the peach blossom shortbread in her hand.

Crispy, sweet and glutinous, but not as greasy as other shortbreads. The fragrance of peach blossom makes people feel like they are in spring. The pores on the whole body seem to be washed away, and the whole person feels a lot more transparent.

Zhu Yaxue couldn't help closing her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, while she ate the peach blossom shortbread in her hand, experiencing this rare "journey of consciousness"...

I don't know how long it took, but when she opened her small mouth and wanted to take another bite of the peach blossom shortbread, her finger suddenly hurt!
Zhu Yaxue suddenly opened her eyes, and then suddenly realized that, before she knew it, she had already finished eating the peach blossom shortbread in her hand.

The pain in her finger just now was because she accidentally put her finger into her mouth like a cake!

"It turns out that I was so stupid sometimes."

Zhu Yaxue couldn't help but burst out laughing. She read the popular science news and saw that when a snake is hunting or eating, if the body is contaminated with the smell of food, it may swallow its own body along with it.

At that time, she still thought it was funny, she thought the snake was so stupid, and even swallowed her own tail as food.

Unexpectedly, she is now like a snake, almost biting her finger.

Smiling and laughing, a great sense of loss suddenly surged from the bottom of Zhu Yaxue's heart:
Such a delicious peach shortbread, unfortunately no longer available.

At the same time, she was also full of regrets in her heart. What did she think at the beginning? How could she write the delivery address of the courier as the address of the magazine?
If it was written as the address of the family, wouldn't I be able to save so many peach blossom shortbreads and taste them slowly?

What group evaluation do you want?
In the comments section of the Douyin account of "Jiang Daqi Canteen", so many netizens kept praising the delicious peach blossom shortbread, could it be fake?

Why don't you believe it yourself?
She managed to snap up a box of peach blossom shortbread, but she gave it away so easily...

At this moment, Zhu Yaxue felt so regretful that she wanted to hit a wall!

I didn't even bother to care about how Yueyue and other colleagues commented on this peach blossom shortbread.

I almost bit my finger. Is there any need to question the deliciousness of this peach blossom shortbread?
This peach blossom shortbread is already so delicious, so how delicious should Jiang Yu's various stir-fried dishes be?
Zhu Yaxue's small brain can't imagine it at all.

But it doesn't matter, she has already made up her mind to go to Jiangzhou University as soon as possible!
This trip was not only to write the story of Jiang Yu and his Seven Canteens, she also had to let go and taste Jiang Yu's food.

If you don't eat well, she won't come back!

……

Magic City, inside a recording studio.

"Miss Xie, this song is OK, it's perfect!"

In the recording studio, Xie Siqi couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief after hearing the excited voice of the sound engineer.

This title song in the new album has been recorded for more than a whole week since the first recording. Although it took a long time, it was finally won.

If the delay continued, her new album might have to be delayed.

Once the release is really postponed, it will not be as simple as pushing it back for a few days. Not only will all the announcement work of the new album be readjusted, but also the plans for new songs, announcements and performances that have been planned in advance We have to overthrow and start over.

If that's the case, then it's really troublesome.

After calming down her somewhat excited mood, Xie Siqi took off the earphones from her head and put them aside, pushed open the door of the recording studio and walked out. The manager Sister Wen who had been guarding outside quickly handed over the water glass.

Xie Siqi took the unscrewed cup and took a sip of water to moisten her throat. Then she smiled at the sound engineer and Sister Wen, and said:

"Teacher Duan, Sister Wen, let's start recording here today. I've been busy these days, and I finally finished recording this song. I feel a lot more relaxed. I have to go back and adjust my state.

Let's continue tomorrow, shall we? "

Since Xie Siqi has spoken, of course the sound engineer and Sister Wen will not have any objections.

Sister Wen said: "Xiaoqi, I just want to go back to the company, shall I take you back by the way?"

"Thank you, Sister Wen, but no need, I'll take a walk to relax, and it's not far away anyway."

Xie Siqi packed her things, turned her head and shook her hand at Sister Wen, and said with a smile,
"I'm going first!"

After speaking, he put on his mask and sunglasses, turned around, opened the door and went out.

The sun is shining outside the door, and the spring is just right. Tourists in twos and threes on the street come and go leisurely, and the shops on both sides of the street are very lively.

If it was another time, Xie Siqi, who loves to play, would definitely not be able to bear the temptation to go shopping secretly by herself, but now she didn't even look at it, and went straight to the direction of the apartment when she went out.

Because before entering the recording studio, her assistant called her and said that her courier had been received, and it was sent from Jiangzhou University.

The express delivery from Jiangzhou University, do you still need to ask?
It must be the peach blossom shortbread sent by Jiang Yu!
The moment she received the call, Xie Siqi wanted to run home, unpack the delivery and taste the peach blossom shortbread. She had been craving this cake for several days, and really couldn't wait for a moment!

But in the end, Xie Siqi still relied on superhuman willpower to firmly control herself, not letting herself turn around and leave.

This title song has been delayed for so long and has not been recorded yet. It cannot be delayed any longer. If it continues to be delayed, it is not known when the new album will be finished.

I don't know if it's because there are delicious peach shortcakes waiting for me at home, or because of some other reason, Xie Siqi's song recording went very smoothly this time.

Whether it was the rhythm or the mood of the song, she controlled it quite well. After only recording two or three times, she even finished recording the title song that had tortured her for a long time.

Could it be that this is the magic power of the legendary food?
Whether it's the magic of food or not, it's something to be happy that this song can be successfully recorded, plus the delicious peach blossom shortbread sent by Jiang Yu...

This is a proper double happiness!
It is precisely because of this that after successfully recording the new song, Xie Siqi didn't want to stay in the recording studio for a moment, but just wanted to rush home as soon as possible to taste the delicious peach blossom shortbread.

Siqi has been greedy for cakes for a long time!

Walking forward with her head depressed, Xie Siqi soon returned home.

As soon as she entered the house, she looked up and saw a large express package on the ground next to the coffee table in the living room.

She quickly kicked off the high heels on her feet, pulled the pink slippers on her bare white and tender feet, "tapped and tapped" and walked over in a few steps, leaning down to look at the express slip on the package.

Immediately, a smile appeared on Xie Siqi's face:
That's right, it's from Jiangzhou University. Judging by the size of the package, the peach blossom shortbread inside will not be too small.

Brother Xiaojiang is really nice!
It was as if she had eaten honey in her heart, it was sweet.

At this moment, a delicate voice rang in my ear:

"Yeah, Miss Siqi is back? I've been recording songs for so long, are you hungry? I've made yam pork ribs soup in the kitchen. Would you like to make a bowl for you first?"

"No need, I have something to eat here."

Xie Siqi turned her head to take a look, and said with a mysterious smile,

"Just wait, I'll let you taste what is truly delicious!"

Standing next to her is her life assistant Xiuxiu, a little girl who just graduated from university.

Xiuxiu's hometown is in the countryside of Gusu. She is very handsome and has a gentle personality. The most important thing is that she can do any job, especially good cooking.

Of course, Xiuxiu's cooking is only good in a general sense, and it's definitely incomparable to that of Junior Brother Xiao Jiang.

At least, the dishes she cooks won't make people forget after eating them.

Since Xiuxiu came, Xie Siqi has always regarded her as a younger sister, and the relationship between the two is also very close.

Therefore, although Xie Siqi is very protective of food, she doesn't mind sharing something good with her.

Of course, it's just "a little bit", if there are too many, it won't work!

Xiuxiu blinked her big eyes twice, and asked curiously:

"A real delicacy? Is it in a package here?"

"Yes, it's in the package here. Just wait, I'm going to unpack the package!"

As he said that, Xie Siqi took a fruit knife from the coffee table with an excited face, and cut the sealing tape of the express box with a few "swipes".

"Ding dong! Ding dong!"

Before she had time to tear off the sealing tape, the doorbell suddenly rang.

"Ah, someone is here, it should be the gas meter!"

Xiuxiu said a word, and without Xie Siqi's instructions, she ran over to open the door with a "thump, thump, thump".

Xie Siqi paused, and when Xiuxiu said she was here to copy the gas meter, she didn't care, and stretched out her hand to tear off the adhesive strips on the box bit by bit.

Just tore off the adhesive tape on the opening of the courier box, and was about to open the box to have a look, Xiuxiu's voice came from the door:
"Sister Siqi, Sister Xinyan, Sister Momo and Sister Xiaoxiao are here!"

Xie Siqi froze for a moment in her heart, and then reacted, crumpled the torn adhesive strips into a ball and threw it into the trash can. Just as she was thinking of hiding the express box, there was a burst of crisp and pleasant voices Just passed it over:

"Xiao Qiqi, what are you doing at home? You won't even answer your phone calls!"

"By the way, Xiaoqi, how is your song recording going? Didn't you go to the recording studio today?"

"..."

Listening to the voice, these women will come to the living room in a blink of an eye. If they find out that they have a box of delicious food, would it be okay?

It was obviously too late to hide such a big delivery box. In desperation, Xie Siqi grabbed a pillow from the sofa and put it directly on the box, and then sat on the pillow by herself!

As soon as she sat down, the three girls turned around from the other side of the partition screen in the entrance, and suddenly, the whole living room seemed to be a little brighter.

Each of these three girls is not inferior to Xie Siqi in appearance. They all have bright eyes and white teeth, and skin like creamy fat. Although their eyebrows and eyes are different, they give people a sense of charm.

They are artists of the same performing arts company as Xie Siqi, and they all have a pretty good relationship. They often get together to play in their free time, and visiting each other is even more commonplace.

When they came to the living room, the three of them saw Xie Siqi who was sitting on the edge of the sofa and staring at them vigilantly, all of them were surprised:

"Ah! Xiaoqi, so you're up, I thought you were still sleeping in!"

"By the way, Xiaoqi, you haven't told me yet. Why didn't you record the song today? Have you already recorded it?"

"You just came back or something? Why are you still carrying a bag at home?"

"..."

"Who is sleeping late? Xia Mo, don't talk nonsense, I never sleep late!"

Xie Siqi still sat there motionless, she rolled her eyes at the group of girls, hurriedly took off the satchel from her body, threw it on the sofa, and muttered,

"I went to record a song before, and I finally finished recording that song, and I just came back!"

As she spoke, she raised her head and glanced at them again, and began to "drive people away",
"If you are going to go shopping, then hurry up and go while the sun is shining, I just recorded a song and I am a little tired, so I won't go!

Next time, next time I promise to go shopping with you! "

"Hiss! Something is wrong! Xiaoqi, there is something wrong with you!"

At this moment, Gu Xinyan frowned, stared at Xie Siqi closely, and said with a half-smile,

"The three of us have just entered the door, and you can't wait to drive us away...

Xiaoqi, tell me the truth, are you hiding something from us? "
