I work as a chef in the university cafeteria

Chapter 268 Obviously You Can Rely on Your Face to Eat, But You Rely on Your Cooking Skills
The first floor of the Seventh Canteen, the canteen hall.

There was probably an "inner ghost" in the cafeteria, and the news leaked out too quickly. As soon as I heard that Jiang Yu was going to cook vegetables on the first floor today, and all of them were new dishes.

All of a sudden, whether it was the regular customers of the No. [-] canteen or the students who used to be too busy studying and didn't want to waste time queuing up, one by one involuntarily gathered from all directions of the school.

Even before the cafeteria's business hours, the hall was already crowded with people, and the students who came late couldn't even squeeze in at the cafeteria door.

Jiang Yu was still cooking in the kitchen. When he heard what Yan Tongtong said, he thought about it for a while and said to Lu Shuwu:
"Since there are so many students here today, let's eat early. There are too many people, and safety comes first."

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to start cooking."

Lu Shuwu nodded, and hurried out to arrange for people to cook.

At this moment, the students who are still waiting for the meal are also full of expectant expressions, chatting with the students around them from time to time:
"Aren't those dishes all delicious before? Why do they suddenly have to be changed? Like braised pork with pickled vegetables, fish cubes with chopped peppers, pork ribs in black bean sauce, etc. I can't get tired of eating them!"

"Eating these kinds of dishes all the time, isn't the nutrition comprehensive? Brother Jiang, if you change the dishes, isn't that for our own good?"

"Nonsense, now that we eat so much, how come the nutrition is not comprehensive? Change to new dishes, just worried that we will get tired of eating these things all the time, don't think so complicated!"

"Anyway, Brother Jiang still cares about us very much, after all we are all his juniors!"

"..."

Zhu Yaxue was also in the long queue, but she was a little behind and was only one step away from standing outside the gate.

These days, she has been living in the Taoyuan Clubhouse and eating in the Seventh Canteen according to her cousin Liu Qian's suggestion, living a happy life.

So much so that she almost forgot her purpose of running all the way from Chang'an to Jiang Dalai.

Until last night, when she was surfing the Internet in the hotel, she suddenly received a call from the editor-in-chief, asking her how she was preparing for this month's manuscript.

The manuscript has to be delivered in another week, let her hurry up...

Only then did she suddenly realize that I am still an editor of a magazine!

Inexplicably, she felt a little wronged. I can't blame me for this. If you want to blame it, the food in the Seventh Canteen is so delicious that she was so addicted to it that she almost forgot who she was.

However, the grievance only lasted for a while. When I came to the Seventh Canteen this morning, I turned my grievance into a meal. I ate a cage of soup dumplings, two stewed duck wings, two stewed duck feet, and a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge. After that, Zhu Yaxue instantly became happy again.

However, she didn't forget the editor-in-chief's reminder that there was only one week left, and she had to interview Jiang Yu within a couple of days no matter what. Chutan Prefecture.

Although I was a little tight on time, I was able to write a manuscript in a hurry.

Moreover, she has been staying at Jiang University for nearly half a month. Even if she is obsessed with the food in the Seventh Canteen, she has to go back to Chang'an.

After all, life is not only about delicious food, but also poetry and distant places!
But what Zhu Yaxue didn't expect was that she rushed to the Seventh Canteen at 10:30 and waited in line to buy food. As soon as she arrived, she found that there was already a long queue in front of her. Before she could figure out what was going on, the side She was instantly pleasantly surprised by her classmates' comments:
It turned out that Jiang Yu personally cooked the meals in the cafeteria on the first floor at noon today, and more importantly, there was a new batch of dishes in the cafeteria!
This, this, this is simply a gift from heaven!

For a moment, Zhu Yaxue was both excited and worried.

Excitement is for sure, after all, you don’t have to go up to the second floor to eat Jiang Yu’s dishes. What worries you is that there are so many people in front of you, will you buy all your favorite dishes by accident? It's over?

If that's the case, wouldn't he have to cry to death?

After fluctuating in this uneasy mood for a while, Zhu Yaxue finally waited until the cafeteria opened.

As soon as the cooking started, the whole team couldn't help commotion, each and every student involuntarily pushed forward, and the students in front all stretched their necks, looking through the glass at the food that was brought out just now. A plate of dishes, the face is full of surprises:

"Wow! There is braised beef in cold sauce, and pig's ears in cold salad! It's so hot, I like to eat some cold dishes!"

"There's also Coca-Cola Chicken Wings, my favorite! Woohoo, Senior Brother Jiang is so caring!"

"Is that beef stewed with tomatoes? I can't help drooling seeing how the tomatoes are stewed. It's a must for bibimbap!"

"..."

The students in the front kept exclaiming loudly and announced the new dishes that had been replaced one after another, which made the students who couldn't see at the back even more impatient.

If it weren't for the fact that jumping in line is easy to be caught, and moral education points may be deducted, someone might have already taken the lead by now!
Zhu Yaxue is also very impatient, beef stew with tomatoes, the sour and delicious taste, in this hot summer, a bite is definitely very appetizing!
Just thinking about it makes her salivate!

Yeah!There is also Coke Chicken Wings, which is her favorite too, woohoo, even if rice is not required, she can eat a plate of Coke Chicken Wings alone!
But she was impatient, Zhu Yaxue didn't think about jumping in line, of course, she didn't dare either.

Running over to jump in line now, what's the difference between that and grabbing other people's food?
It's hard to say that he didn't succeed in jumping in the queue, and he would be beaten up!

While waiting anxiously, after a while, it was finally Zhu Yaxue's turn. She leaned over and took a look at the window, and she was relieved:

"It's okay, it's okay! Although there are not many Coca-Cola chicken wings, there are still some, and there are quite a few stewed beef with tomatoes.

Um?This is... salt and pepper ribs? !Ahhh, I want this too! "

After a while, Zhu Yaxue happily ran to the dining area to find an empty seat with a large plate full of food and sat down.

Around her, people sat full of people, some were eating, and some were yelling while eating, and the tone was full of surprise:

"My God! This cold stewed beef is too delicious, right?! The beef is tender and tasty, with a springy texture, and paired with the only chopped pepper in the world, it is fragrant and spicy. It's absolutely amazing! "

"Coke chicken wings are delicious. The chicken is tender and juicy, soft and rotten off the bone. The meat falls off after a light sip! The key is that it is fresh and fragrant, with a moderate salty sweetness. With this taste, I can directly dry it." plate!"

"I just like this stewed beef with tomatoes. I can eat three bowls of this soup with rice, and I won't get tired of eating it every day!"

"..."

The students around were noisy, but instead of feeling noisy, Zhu Yaxue liked the environment very much. It seemed that eating in such a lively atmosphere made her feel better.

She hesitated a little while picking up the chopsticks, and finally reached for the salt and pepper ribs, picked up a piece and put it into her mouth.

As soon as she took a bite, Zhu Yaxue was stunned. The ribs are too crispy, right?
She didn't even use any force, just a touch of her teeth, and the meat on the ribs instantly fell off the bone!

Zhu Yaxue chewed lightly a few times, and with the sound of "chacha", the pork ribs were chewed away, and the tender and juicy meat began to ooze juice.

At this moment, a strong burnt and meaty aroma spread in the mouth.

This, this, this is really delicious!

Zhu Yaxue's little face was flushed with excitement, and after quickly eating this piece of ribs, she immediately picked up the next piece and stuffed it directly into her mouth.

Even the bones of the pork ribs couldn't help but put them in his mouth and suck a few mouthfuls. He couldn't bite anymore, so he put them aside with a look of reluctance.

This meal, Zhu Yaxue didn't eat fast. She ate for nearly an hour before she finally ate up a plate full of food.

After eating, she let out a long sigh of relief, leaned back on the chair with a satisfied face, stretched out a hand regardless of her appearance, and gently stroked her somewhat distended belly.

The dishes Jiang Yu cooked himself were indeed not ordinary.

Although the dishes made by his apprentice are also rare and delicious, but after a careful taste, you can still taste the difference, although the difference is not big.

In the past few days, although she still hadn't been able to meet Jiang Yu, the interview work hadn't been missed. She hadn't been able to interview Jiang Yu himself, so she could get to know him from the perspective of other people.

For example, other chefs working in the cafeteria, or work-study students, or even ordinary students who come to eat in the cafeteria, everyone has a "Jiang Yu" in their eyes.

A successful report is to show the different "Jiang Yu" in the eyes of different people, so that readers can understand Jiang Yu as comprehensively as possible.

Only by understanding Jiang Yu can we understand why he chose to open a cafeteria in the school?Why is his cooking so good?
Why doesn't he like being exposed to the public eye, so much so that until now, many people who have never been to restaurant No. [-] don't even know what Jiang Yu looks like?

During these side interviews, Zhu Yaxue realized that Jiang Yu was just a young man in his early 20s, handsome, stable, and kind.

More importantly, he is still a senior student in Jiang University, and he will start studying for graduate school in the second half of the year!

From Zhu Yaxue's point of view, this is simply unbelievable!

How can such a young graduate student with such good academic performance have such superb cooking skills?
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that he is about to go to graduate school. He might have a good future just by graduating. How could he be willing to start running a student canteen?
One question after another made Zhu Yaxue more and more curious about Jiang Yu, and the desire to meet him and get to know him in depth became stronger and stronger...

Thinking of these things in her heart, Zhu Yaxue couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and the little hand touching her belly stopped suddenly, and she couldn't help but froze:

She had been thinking about other things before, but she didn't realize that in just a few days, fat had grown on her flat stomach!

Damn it!
With a mournful face, Zhu Yaxue thought about her diet for the past few days. Almost every meal ended in a state of fullness, and she didn't exercise much after she was full. She went back to the hotel to watch TV or go online... …

Just lie down after eating like this, and continue to eat after lying down. It would be really strange if you don't gain meat!

"But can I be blamed for this? Jiang Yu is still to blame, who made his food so delicious?"

Zhu Yaxue is still very good at "throwing the blame", she pouted her small mouth and thought bitterly,

If Jiang Yu's food wasn't so delicious, how could he not be able to control eating so much?
When I was in Chang'an before, I was very self-controlled. If I said I would not eat it, I would not eat it!
This Jiang Yu is obviously the "nemesis" for girls to lose weight!

Whoever meets him will become a fat girl!

Girl from Jiang University: Ah!Hurry up and make me a fat girl!I just love the food made by Senior Brother Jiang!

After thinking wildly in her mind for a while, Zhu Yaxue came back to realize that there were not many people in the cafeteria hall, only a few students who came late were left sparsely sitting in every corner of the dining area, gobbling their meals .

Several part-time students in the cafeteria, with rags and plastic buckets in their hands, have already started to clean up the leftovers on the table.

Usually at this time, Zhu Yaxue had already left, but today she was still sitting in her seat without moving.

She already knew before that Jiang Yu made all the new dishes that were released at noon today. Doesn't this mean that Jiang Yu is currently staying in the kitchen on the first floor?

Since he was in the kitchen on the first floor, he had to wait here no matter what, maybe he would meet Jiang Yu soon.

Whether or not he can interview Jiang Yu is up to this one time. If he misses this opportunity and thinks of such a good opportunity again, he really doesn't know when he will have to wait.

……

Seven canteens, the kitchen on the first floor.

Jiang Yu naturally didn't know that there was a beautiful magazine editor waiting for him outside.

At this moment, the busiest time in the cafeteria has passed, and he has cooked several dishes, and he is inviting Lu Shuwu, Jia Dequan, Yan Tongtong and others to have lunch together.

"Boss, the new dishes that have been changed today seem to be very popular with the students."

Qian Liwei used to own a small restaurant, so he has good cooking skills. Of course, compared with Lu Shuwu, he is still not so good.

However, since he came to the Seventh Canteen, with Jiang Yu, Jia Dequan and others pointing him out from time to time, his cooking skills have also improved rapidly.

Leaving aside other things, at least the few Jiangzhou-style dishes he fried sold out relatively slowly, but there were not many left, and occasionally they were sold out.

This is not bad in Seven Canteens.

It is precisely because of this change that he, who usually talks less, seems to be more cheerful now.

He filled a bowl of rice, opened his chair and sat down, said with a smile,

"These new dishes were brought out, and everyone rushed to grab them like crazy, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to eat them. The atmosphere in the hall was much more lively than the previous few days."

"Xiaowei, what you said is wrong."

Ma Guoqiang glanced at him, and said with a smile while eating,
"The students are not grabbing the new dishes, but the dishes made by Boss Xiaojiang, understand?
Today, Boss Xiao Jiang cooks himself, even if he cooks a few ordinary home-cooked dishes, it is very popular among the students. "

Qian Liwei was taken aback for a moment, then reacted, nodded with a smile and said:

"Old Ma uncle is right, our boss, any dish is delicious!"

Lu Shuwu patted Qian Liwei's shoulder with a smile, and said jokingly:

"Xiaowei, I usually see you as an honest person, but I didn't expect you, an honest person, to flatter you so fresh and refined!"

Qian Liwei blushed and hurriedly distinguished:
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

As he said that, he glanced at Jiang Yu who was sitting opposite him in a panic, as if he was afraid that he would get angry.

"Okay, brother Xiaowu, stop teasing Xiaowei, and eat quickly."

Jiang Yu raised his head speechlessly, glanced at Lu Shuwu who had a hippie smile, thought for a while and then asked,

"By the way, how are you learning these new dishes that were replaced at noon today? Can you handle them yourself?"

"Uh...there are several dishes here. I can cook them all, but I'm worried about not being able to control the heat and the seasoning."

Lu Shuwu raised his hand and scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment,
"Boss, why don't you stop working hard and let you do it for these two days?
I'll do it again at dinner tomorrow, and you can always point it out to me if I'm not doing it right. "

"Well, that's fine."

Jiang Yu thought for a while, then nodded in response.

Anyway, he has nothing else to do, and there is still more than half a month left for Jiang University's graduation thesis defense meeting.

A group of people sat around the console, chatting while eating, and soon they were full.

I don't know if it's because the weather is too hot or the kitchen itself is stuffy. Everyone didn't have much appetite at first, but because Jiang Yu cooked the food today, everyone still ate very well.

This is also normal. Ever since Jiang Yu focused his work on dining room No. [-] on the second floor, he has rarely cooked for everyone on the first floor. This is a rare one or two, and everyone wants to eat more a little.

After eating, everyone was sweating, even Judd Quan was dripping with sweat. He wiped his face with a wet towel, shook his head and said:
"This kitchen is too hot, I think, next time you eat in the hall, at least there is air conditioning in the hall, otherwise, you will sweat every day after eating, who can bear it?"

"It's nothing difficult. When we were eating, there were not many students in the cafeteria hall."

After hearing this, Lu Shuwu smiled and said,
"Then from tonight, let's all eat in the cafeteria hall."

Jiang Yu didn't say anything. After eating a full meal, he took a short rest, got up and made himself a cup of tea, and took the cup to the box outside the kitchen.

As soon as he left the kitchen, a gust of cold wind from the air conditioner blew in, making Jiang Yu, who was already sweating all over his body, shiver uncontrollably. It was like eating a piece of iced watermelon on a hot day. Cool.

Standing outside the private room for a while, Jiang Yu was not greedy for coolness, and was about to open the door to go in, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a person walking towards him, looking at him as he walked.

Before he could turn his head away, he heard a strange but pleasant voice:

"Hi, hello! Please, are you Mr. Jiang Yujiang?"

The person who walked over was naturally none other than Zhu Yaxue who had been waiting in the cafeteria hall.

Zhu Yaxue waited for so long, until all the part-time students had cleaned up the cafeteria hall, and all the diners had left, and Jiang Yu hadn't come out yet.

She was a little suspicious, did Jiang Yu go back to the second floor while he was not paying attention?
After all, she only knew that Jiang Yu was a young man in his twenties, and she didn't know what he looked like. Even if Jiang Yu was standing in front of her, she might not know him.

Zhu Yaxue was hesitating whether to go back and forget it, when suddenly she saw a young man walking out of the kitchen holding a teacup.

This young man seems to be about the same age as Jiang Yu, and he looks similar to those people I interviewed before.

"Whether he is Jiang Yu or not, you have to go up and ask for clarification. If you miss it, it's really too late to regret it!"

Thinking of this, she became excited instantly, stood up from the seat immediately, and slowly leaned over.

As Zhu Yaxue approached slowly, she observed carefully. The more she looked, the more she felt that this person was Jiang Yu. She thought he would stand outside and blow on the air conditioner for a while, but she didn't expect him to enter the room before she got close.

If Jiang Yu went in, how could a girl like herself go in and disturb him?

So Zhu Yaxue, who was anxious in her heart, quickly asked questions under nervousness.

When Jiang Yu heard that someone was looking for him, he immediately paused and turned his head with some doubts. The other party was a beautiful strange girl who looked about his age.

He can confirm that he has never seen her before, so what's the matter with her coming to him?

These thoughts just flashed in his mind, he thought for a while, then nodded and said:
"I'm Jiang Yu, girl, what do you need from me?"

"So you are really Mr. Jiang Yu!"

When Zhu Yaxue heard it, she was overjoyed and her heart beat faster.

You know, ever since she tasted the wonderful taste of Jiang Yu's peach-blossom mille-feuille pastry in Chang'an, she has been thinking all over her head:

What kind of person can make such delicious food?
Even, she had imagined Jiang Yu countless times in her mind!

Until a few minutes ago, she was also thinking about what to say if she met Jiang Yu.
Is his temper good or bad, will he dislike himself for disturbing him?

What should I do if the other party does not agree to accept my interview?
What Zhu Yaxue didn't expect was that after waiting for so long, she actually saw Jiang Yu, and this Jiang Yu was completely different from what she had imagined!
Involuntarily, a very vulgar sentence appeared in her mind:

"Obviously he can rely on his face to eat, but he has to rely on his cooking skills!"
