I work as a chef in the university cafeteria

Chapter 269 The Boss's Blind Date, That Girl Can Be Arrived in the City Center
"Girl, do you have anything to do with me?"

Looking at the strange girl standing in front of him, Jiang Yu couldn't help frowning slightly.

Is this girl stupid?
I had already asked her what she wanted from me before, but she didn't seem to hear it, as if she just wanted to confirm that she was Jiang Yu.

After confirming that she was Jiang Yu, her face flushed red, her hands were clenched tightly into small fists, and she was speechless with excitement.

I'm not a big star, so I'm so excited to see myself?

It's really incomprehensible.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang Yu, I didn't expect you to be so young, and you lost your composure before. I'm really sorry!"

Seeing Jiang Yu's frown, Zhu Yaxue immediately came back to his senses, and felt a "thump" in his heart, and secretly smiled wryly:

Oops!

I had overreacted before, and looking at Jiang Yu's expression, I seemed a little disgusted. I had to quickly adjust my emotions so as not to upset him again, and it would be even more impossible to interview him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yaxue quickly took a few deep breaths to calm down the excitement, and continued to speak,
"I am a magazine editor from Chang'an. My surname is Zhu. I came to Jiangda from Chang'an more than ten days ago.

Originally, I wanted to interview you, but because I was new here and I didn't know anyone in Jiang University, I was blocked outside the school. "

As she spoke, she observed Jiang Yu, and seeing that there was no impatient expression on his face, Zhu Yaxue breathed a sigh of relief, and continued,

"Later, I really had no other choice. When I was planning to go back to Chang'an, I happened to meet an acquaintance, and she took me to the school.

During this period of time, I have been living in the Taoyuan Hall, and I have eaten in dining room No. [-] and the cafeteria on the first floor. I was shocked but also deeply moved.

For a long time, I have thought that if I have a chance to sit down and have a good chat with Mr. Jiang Yu, then this trip to Jiang University will be considered complete.

However, Mr. Jiang Yu is busy with work, and I have never had the chance to meet you. I finally got to meet you today, so I was really a little excited before.

It made Mr. Jiang Yu laugh. "

Jiang Yu was a little surprised when he heard Zhu Yaxue say so much. He didn't expect that this silly-looking young girl opposite was actually an editor of a magazine!
Moreover, according to her meaning, in order to be able to interview him, she persisted in a strange city for nearly half a month.

Among them, she was blocked from the gate of Jiang University for several days, and she couldn't even get close.

If it were someone else, such as Hu Zhihai...

Don't look at the little fat man who is joking and joking on weekdays, he has a very violent temper. If he went to find someone to do something, but he was blocked from the door for a few days and couldn't get in, even if he didn't force his way in, that's for sure. Turn around and leave.

He's not a big shot, and it's so difficult to meet him, so I'm gone!

This girl has extraordinary perseverance!

Jiang Yu put a "label" on this little girl surnamed Zhu in his heart.

After thinking about it, he nodded slightly and said with a smile:

"So it's Editor Zhu, hello, hello!
Editor Zhu came here this time to interview me? "

In fact, he was still a little curious. There were not many people who wanted to interview him before, but most of them were webcast celebrities, such as Hua Xiaoling and the like.

Like this editor Zhu, he was the first writer from the paper media.

It's not that he looks down on self-media on the Internet. In fact, self-media on the Internet is much more powerful than paper media in terms of speed and breadth of dissemination.

Jiang Yu just didn't want to show his face.

And if you want to accept an interview with a webcast celebrity, you will have to be on camera.

Just this point, Jiang Yu couldn't accept it from the bottom of his heart, not to mention that he himself didn't like to be interviewed.

In fact, he has always been very low-key in his dealings with others, and he is not very willing to expose himself in front of countless people.

Otherwise, there are so many "fans" of Seven Canteens on Douyin, and they still don't know what kind of person "Jiang Yu" who can cook superb food is.

"Yes, to tell you the truth, I can actually be considered a 'fan' of the Seventh Canteen."

Zhu Yaxue raised her hand and brushed her long hair by her ears, looking a bit shy, she smiled at Jiang Yu, and continued,

"The last time Seven Canteen held the first 'Fan Welfare' event, I was lucky enough to snap up a Peach Blossom Mille-Feuille Cake.

It was the first time I tasted the food made by you, Mr. Jiang Yu, and I was shocked at that time. I have never eaten such delicious shortbread.

Because our magazine mainly collects and writes news stories related to tourism and food, so I made up my mind at that time to come to Jiangzhou, hoping to sit down and have a good chat with you. "

Having said that, Zhu Yaxue smiled unnaturally again, and said,
"But I didn't expect that this time I would spend so long here..."

"Uh……"

Hearing Zhu Yaxue's last sentence, Jiang Yu didn't know how to respond.

In fact, if Jiang Yu happened to be out of the school a few days ago and was recognized by this editor Zhu by chance, then he would never have accepted the other party's interview and brought her into the school.

But sometimes, the environment is different, and the angle of dealing with the problem will not change.

What was impossible before may become possible now.

Just like now, Jiang Yu just had a full meal, standing in the air-conditioned cafeteria hall, feeling extremely comfortable.

Listening to such a young and beautiful female editor calmly talking about her "difficult experience" before the interview...

The image of a woman with a delicate appearance but a strong heart was established in his heart just like that.

As a man, Jiang Yu naturally admired him quite a lot. Thinking about it in another way, if it was me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do what she did. She persisted in one place for nearly half a month just for an interview!
amazing!
Under such circumstances, Jiang Yu, who had always been resistant to interviews, hesitated unknowingly.

After thinking about it, he finally asked again,
"Then Editor Zhu, can I ask, what are you planning to interview?"

Zhu Yaxue was naturally not an idiot to become the editor of a magazine right after graduation. Once she heard Jiang Yu's words, she knew that this matter was almost inseparable.

She said happily:

"Mr. Jiang, the interview is very simple, I just ask a few questions, you just need to answer me truthfully!"

"Just a few questions?"

Jiang Yu nodded slightly and said with a smile,

"May I ask what are the questions? If it's not too troublesome, then I'll just answer you casually."

The implication is obvious, that is, if the question you ask is too tricky or too personal, then I'm sorry, I will definitely not answer you.

Zhu Yaxue is such a smart person, she naturally understood the meaning of Jiang Yu's words, she smiled sweetly, and said:

"Mr. Jiang, don't worry, it's just some basic common sense questions, and I will definitely not embarrass you."

After a pause, she gave another example,
"The questions I want to ask are very simple, for example, you are currently a student and you are about to enter university, how did you come up with the idea of ​​running your own student cafeteria?
Will there be conflicts between study and work?If so, how did you deal with it?
For another example, you are so young, but your cooking skills are so superb, how did you do it?
In addition, I heard that the Seven Canteen was founded by you, so can you tell me about the interesting stories that happened during the establishment of the Seven Canteen? "

After briefly listing a few questions, Zhu Yaxue showed a sweet smile to Jiang Yu and asked expectantly,

"Mr. Jiang, is it very simple?"

Hearing the few questions she listed, Jiang Yu felt very troublesome, but when he saw the expectant face of the girl standing in front of him, he seemed unable to say anything to refuse.

The most important thing is that he found that it might not be useful to reject it!
Just because of her stubborn temper that she refused to give up after being blocked by the school guards for several days, maybe she refused once, but she would still stay here and "request" herself to be interviewed every few days.

Jiang Yu couldn't help shivering when he thought that as long as he went downstairs, he might be "tangled" by her, unable to go to the private room to rest or play chess.

Forget it, let's answer casually a few times and send her back to Chang'an as soon as possible.

After some "self-guiding", Jiang Yu quickly "convinced" himself. He nodded and said:
"That's fine, but I'll give you half an hour."

After a pause, he added, "By the way, no photos are allowed."

Zhu Yaxue was overjoyed immediately, and nodded repeatedly in response:

"Yeah, thank you, Mr. Jiang, don't worry, I promise it won't affect your rest."

"Then let's stop standing outside, and sit in the box and talk."

Jiang Yu smiled at her, reached out and pushed open the door of the box, and walked in first.

Zhu Yaxue couldn't help getting excited again, she quickly took a deep breath to calm herself down, and quickly followed into the box.

……

Seven canteens, in the kitchen on the first floor.

"Xiao Jiang, tell the old man quickly, how did you meet that little girl?"

Jia Dequan came to Jiang Yu's side and said with a smile on his face,
"Let me tell you the truth, that girl is really good-looking. She needs to have a good figure and good looks. The key point is that she is quite tall. She is at least 1.7 meters tall. She matches you very well!"

"Boss, amazing!"

Lu Shuwu also joined in the excitement, the fire of gossip was burning, and asked quickly,
"I heard that this girl is seeing Lao Jia for the first time, so we must have never met before. How did you know each other?"

"Hmph, don't you even look at who Boss Xiaojiang is?"

Ma Guoqiang glanced at the two of them, and "hummed" twice with a look of contempt on his face,

"Boss Xiao Jiang's good looks, education, cooking skills, wealth...isn't it a piece of cake to meet someone?
Let's just say, if Boss Xiaojiang puts the photo on the Internet, and then sends a marriage proposal...

Believe it or not, the young girls who rushed over for a blind date were not allowed to line up from the entrance of the cafeteria all the way to the center of Jiangzhou? "

"..."

Jiang Yu was speechless, these old men, the more they talked, the more outrageous they became!

I was interviewed by the female editor surnamed Zhu in the box before, er, it’s not really an interview, it’s just a casual chat. At this moment, Jia Dequan opened the door and came in.

The little old man was dumbfounded at the time, he glanced inside, saw that he was with a young girl, and quickly backed out.

If you say he quit, just quit, the little old man winked at himself, and said the last sentence inexplicably:
"Xiao Jiang, come on!"

Before Jiang Yu could react, he retracted his head and closed the door again by the way.

When Jiang Yu turned around, he found that Editor Zhu who was sitting across from him was flushed and looking shy. Only then did he realize what Lao Jia meant.

This little old man thought he was picking up girls!

No, I finished chatting with Editor Zhu about the story of myself and the Seventh Canteen, and just sent her away. As soon as I returned to the kitchen on the first floor, these people hurriedly started teasing myself.

Jiang Yu couldn't help sighing, and said helplessly,

"I've told you all, that woman just now is an editor of a magazine, and she came here to interview me on a special trip, don't talk nonsense!"

Why don't these people listen to explanations? !

"Xiao Jiang, what you said is wrong."

Jia Dequan got a rocking chair from nowhere, sat there swaying, and he talked nonsense seriously,

"So what if she is the female editor who interviewed you? She interviewed you, so you two know each other already?

Sometimes, the fate between people is like this, as long as you have the heart, the fate will become deeper and deeper!
In short, I am very optimistic about this girl, not to mention other things, she looks very good! "

When Jiang Yu heard it, he felt his head was getting bigger. He waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"Stop, stop! Let's stop here, and I won't bother you about my affairs."

As soon as he turned his head, Jiang Yu saw Lu Shuwu's excited face, his eyes shining, and his mouth moving as if he wanted to say something more. He glared at him and said angrily,

"Shut up too!
You're still a single person, you're so embarrassed to talk about me, you have to solve your own problems first, then talk about it! "

"..."

The smile on Lu Shuwu's face froze instantly.

I didn't say anything, why did it involve me being single?

()!

"Cough cough!"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the kitchen was slightly awkward, Ma Guoqiang quickly coughed twice, changed the subject instantly, and asked with a smile,
"Boss, the weather is getting hotter and hotter now. As soon as the weather gets hotter, the sales of our jelly noodles will also go up. I guess the business will get better after a while.

In order to avoid insufficient sales, boss, do you think we should increase the purchase of rice noodles? "

Jiang Yu thought for a while and asked, "Selling so many servings of mixed noodles every day, can you handle it by yourself?"

"It's okay, it's not too hard."

Ma Guoqiang smiled and said,
"If the boss thinks it's too hard for me to do this alone, then let Xiao Feng help me.

He will heat the powder, and I will season it, so that I can move a stool to sit on it, then it will be fine. "

This little Feng is naturally Feng Yueqing from Xiaoxiang Jianning. When Ma Guoqiang was making white sugar cakes, Feng Yueqing followed him, and he can be regarded as half of his apprentice.

Now that he needs manpower to make Jiangzhou noodles, naturally the first thing that comes to mind is Feng Yueqing.

Jiang Yu didn't object, and nodded in response:
"Okay, the two of you should move faster, so that the students in the queue won't have to wait too long."

After saying this, he seemed to think of something again, turned his head and said to Lu Shuwu,

"By the way, the weather is hot now. Let's cook some mung bean porridge in the morning. You can replace a porridge that is relatively poor in sales."

"Well, I was going to tell you about it."

Lu Shuwu nodded, and said, "One more thing, is the hot stew we are making now, should we change it to cold stew? After all, it is summer."

"No need to change it, it tastes better when it's hot, and it's better for the stomach."

Jiang Yu shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not that you must eat cold food when the weather is hot. It's okay to eat cold food occasionally, but hot food is the mainstream."

After a pause, he continued,

"Don't we still have an empty stainless steel bucket of herbal tea in the kitchen?
In the evening, I will cook some sour plum soup, freeze it overnight, add some ice cubes, put it in a bucket and move it to the cafeteria hall, for the students to drink for free.

This sour plum soup is regarded as a 'welfare' for the students in our cafeteria this summer. "

"Iced sour plum soup? This stuff is good. It clears away heat and relieves heat, appetizes and promotes digestion. This is the best drink in summer!"

When Jia Dequan heard this, he nodded again and again. He turned his head to look at Jiang Yu, and said curiously,
"The sour plum soup on the market now has all kinds of strange tastes, and each one is different. Where did you get the recipe for the sour plum soup you want to make?"

Jiang Yu smiled mysteriously, and spit out two words: "Family biography."

Jia Dequan was taken aback for a moment, then curled his lips, lay down again, and muttered in a low voice:
"Everything is a family heirloom, so the treasures handed down from your family may not even compare to the Forbidden City..."

Although his voice was very low, Jiang Yu still heard it, but he ignored it, turned around and went to the side dish room with a grin.

Sour plum soup is a traditional summer drink in China. The main raw materials are black plum, hawthorn, tangerine peel, osmanthus, licorice, rock sugar and other materials.

The "salted plum water" mentioned in "Old Stories of Wulin" in the Southern Song Dynasty is a refreshing drink similar to sour plum soup.

In the Qing Dynasty, it was improved by the imperial dining room and became a drink for the imperial court, the so-called "Shigong Meijian".

Because of its effects of removing heat and cooling, relieving heartache, eliminating phlegm and relieving cough, warding off epidemics, promoting body fluid and quenching thirst, it is known as "Qing Palace Yibao Imperial Black Plum Soup".

Later, it was introduced to the people, so there are vendors selling sour plum soup everywhere in the streets and alleys, at the door of dried and fresh fruit shops.

The reason why Lao Jia said that various sour plum soups have different tastes is that apart from the slight difference in the raw materials for cooking sour plum soup, the difference in the ratio of raw materials is also a major reason.

Because he had already had the idea of ​​making sour plum soup, Jiang Yu had actually asked Boss Zhao from the distribution center to help him purchase the raw materials he needed a few days in advance.

Now, he only needs to mix the various raw materials in proportion according to the recipe, and then he can start making sour plum soup.

Of course, dark plums and hawthorns need to be soaked in advance, which is why Jiang Yu said to cook sour plum soup at night.

Jiang Yu took out the hawthorn and ebony plums, washed them in the pool, filled them with clean water, soaked them in the water, and ignored them.

"Boss, don't you want to make sour plum soup now?"

Lu Shuwu followed Jiang Yu in and came in. Seeing that he just soaked the hawthorn and ebony plums without making any further moves, he couldn't help but scratched his head and said with a puzzled expression,

"Why do you have to soak it? Don't you have to cook it later? If you don't cook it now, won't everyone have nothing to drink that night?"

"When did I say that I would take it out for the students to drink at night?"

Jiang Yu glanced at him and said speechlessly,
"The ebony plums and hawthorns are all dried in the sun. If they don't soak to give out the flavor, they need to be boiled for a long time. If they are fully soaked, they will be easy to cook."

When Lu Shuwu heard it, he laughed "hehe" and said, "Oh, that's fine."

"Okay, it's almost time, let Old Ma and the others come in and help prepare the dishes."

Jiang Yu waved at him, and said, "I'll see if I want to cook something more tonight."

"Boss, what do you cook?"

Lu Shuwu had already turned around and was about to go out to call Old Ma and the others, but when he heard Jiang Yu's words, he couldn't help turning his head back and looking at him expectantly.

Jiang Yu thought for a while and said, "Make a cold salad, spinach vermicelli."

"Boss, do more!"

Lu Shuwu imagined it for a while, and his saliva almost flowed out. He said quickly,
"This dish is delicious just thinking about it!"

Jiang Yu glanced at him with disgust, and waved at him:

"Okay, okay, hurry up and go to work!"

Lu Shuwu smiled "hehe" again, turned around and left the side dish room, and went to find Old Ma and the others to do something.

After a while, just as Ma Guoqiang and the others came in to start working, Jiang Yu had already cleaned the fresh spinach.

"Boss Xiao Jiang, I heard there are spinach vermicelli in salad at night?"

As soon as Ma Guoqiang came in, he asked with a smile,
"I haven't eaten this dish before, what kind of taste is it?"

"Spicy."

Jiang Yu loaded the cart with all the materials he had prepared, and was about to go out to work. He smiled at Ma Guoqiang and the others and said,
"Don't look at me like that, I'll save a copy later and let everyone taste it together at night."

"That's good, that's good! Then we can rest assured!"

When Ma Guoqiang and others heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

Why do you want to stay in the No. [-] canteen and work?

Isn't it all for this bite!

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Jiang Yu pushed the delivery car out of the side dish room, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing:
Before, he was a little worried, if Ma Guoqiang and the others quit, where would he find someone to replace him?
Now, he is not worried at all that they will quit suddenly.

Just look at how greedy they are for the food they cook, even if I want to drive them away, they are not willing!
