I work as a chef in the university cafeteria

Chapter 272 Hope Your Parents Don't Blame Me For Putting You Fat

Most of the philosophy department is female, and seven or eight well-dressed girls are gathering downstairs in the Humanities College, chatting at one go, and laughing like silver bells from time to time.

On the other side, a few boys also gathered in a corner, chatting while puffing:
"It is said that graduation means unemployment. We didn't take it seriously before, but now we have realized it! I have been outside for half a year, and I have hit a wall everywhere. I haven't found a suitable unit until now. If I knew this, I might as well grit my teeth. Reviewing for the postgraduate entrance examination!"

"What you said, it seems that the postgraduate entrance examination is easy. If it is really that simple, can't everyone take the postgraduate entrance examination for further study?"

"If you are young and don't work hard, the boss is so sad! If we had been more serious when we first entered school, and didn't think about playing games and picking up girls all day long, maybe we could have won a place to recommend graduate students who are exempted from the exam. Thinking about it now, it is too late to regret it Already!"

"Hehe, don't you know? In addition to the class monitor and a few girls with excellent academic performance in our class, Jiang Yu has also been admitted to the graduate school! In the second half of the year, he will be a legitimate graduate student of Jiang University!"

"Him? His usual grades are not as good as mine! Why?"

"Just relying on the good food cooked by others, you don't really know, do you? How many people are greedy for the food in the seven canteens he opened at school every day?"

"Let's be honest, the food made by Jiang Yu is really delicious! After returning to school yesterday, I ate dinner there. I still had a bad appetite and couldn't eat anything, but when I smelled the aroma of the food in the Seventh Canteen, It made me so greedy, my saliva was almost drooling, I ate half a catty of rice and five vegetables at once! It made me so full..."

"It's really so delicious?! Hey, Lao Wang, you share the dormitory with Jiang Yu, why don't you wait for him to come and tell him, how about asking him to treat his classmates to a meal? Let's try it too." What does it smell like!"

"I don't have that face, I'm going to do it myself!"

"..."

……

Seven canteens, in the kitchen on the first floor.

Although today was his graduation thesis defense, Jiang Yu was not in a hurry to go to the School of Humanities. Instead, he came to the kitchen on the first floor early in the morning to help out as usual on weekends.

During this period, more and more senior students came back, and more and more people came here for breakfast, so that, like lunch and dinner, breakfast was not enough to sell.

Fortunately, this situation will only last for a short period of time, otherwise, the Seventh Canteen will have to hire another chef.

He was busy until seven o'clock, and the cafeteria was already open, so Jiang Yu sat down and was ready to take a good rest.

Seeing this, Lu Shuwu couldn't help asking:
"Boss, didn't you say you were going to defend yourself today? Why don't you go?"

"The defense officially started at 08:30, what are you doing there so early?"

Jiang Yu picked up the cup and took a sip of water, heaved a sigh of relief, and said lightly,

"It's not that you don't know. I'm lazy. I went there so early, and I have to deal with so many people asking questions. I'm tired!"

"Hey! Isn't this normal?"

Lu Shuwu was holding a bowl of rice porridge, drinking and laughing, he said,

"If I were your classmate, I would be curious too! Others are unemployed after graduation, and you are at the peak after graduation, so why don't you hurry up and ask, how did you rise to the top?"

"Come on, opening a small cafeteria is also called peak?"

Jiang Yu curled his lips, and said indifferently, "I'm just playing around for a while, at best."

The two were chatting, and Hu Zhihai's voice came from afar:
"Lao Jiang, have you had breakfast? If you have, wait for me for a while, I'll have breakfast, and we'll go to the academy together later!"

Jiang Yu followed the sound and looked over there, only to see Hu Zhihai in a formal suit, dressed like a dog, and hurried in from the door.

He asked with a look of surprise: "I said fat, isn't it just a graduation thesis defense? Are you willing to dress like this?"

"Formal attire! This is formal attire!"

Hu Zhihai walked up to Jiang Yu in a few steps, and said with a serious face,

"Graduation defense is a very formal occasion. In order to show respect for the defense teachers, you must wear formal attire! Understand?"

After saying this, he raised his head and straightened his chest again, stretched out his hand and straightened his shirt collar, with a smug smile on his face,

"How? Am I handsome?"

Jiang Yu looked him up and down, and said slowly, "I don't know if you are handsome or not, but you are quite fat."

"Vulgar!" Hu Zhihai curled his lips and added, "You are jealous!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's eat quickly."

Jiang Yu stood up from his seat, stretched out, smiled and said,

"After dinner, I have to go up and take a shower first, to wash off the sweat all over my body, so as not to stink to others, that would be bad."

The two chatted and laughed, took their bowls and chopsticks, went to the window in front of Ma Guoqiang and asked for a serving of jelly noodles, and brought them to the private room to eat.

After eating the noodles, Jiang Yu wiped his mouth with a tissue and said to Hu Zhihai:

"Let's not go there so early. It's enough to start at eight o'clock. You can sit here for a while when you're full. I'll go up and change clothes first."

"Okay, you go, I'm not full yet."

Hu Zhihai responded, then ignored Jiang Yu, and continued to bury his head in eating.

Just a serving of jelly, how can he be full?
At least one more basket of soup dumplings, plus a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge!

Jiang Yu didn't bother to care how much he ate. Anyway, he couldn't persuade him. After he got out of the private room, he was going to go through the dining area to the second floor to take a shower.

It was meal time, and the dining area was full of seats and noisy, even the aisles were crowded and crowded, and it took a little effort to get past.

Jiang Yu followed behind the crowd, moving forward step by step, and the voices of students' discussions came from time to time in his ears:
"Hey, I heard people say that this is the cafeteria opened by Jiang Yu, a student of our Philosophy Department. I seem to have a little impression of this guy. He is tall, thin, and handsome. I never thought he would have such abilities." ah!"

"Maybe he used to be low-key? Besides, look at it now, the cafeteria he opened is so popular, and he hasn't seen how high-profile he is, right? If it was anyone else, he would have raised his head a long time ago. I wish the whole school knew about him! "

"I used to go out with Jiang Yu as a tutor. Hey, I really didn't expect that the food this kid cooks is so delicious!"

"As soon as I ate this meal, I regretted it. If I knew that the school had such a delicious canteen, why would I go out to work this year? I will definitely stay and review for the postgraduate entrance examination. In that case, I can eat such delicious food every day." It's time to eat!"

"..."

Hearing the chatter coming from his ears, Jiang Yu made a quick distinction and knew that all the students from the same class were here, and there might be several he knew among them.

Jiang Yu couldn't help smiling, and there was no disturbance in his heart. He still waited for the crowd to move forward slowly, and when he reached the stairs, he stepped up and went up to the second floor in a few steps.

As soon as he went upstairs, the roots of his ears immediately became clear. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and walked straight forward.

Today is Saturday, and it is also the day when dining room No. [-] is closed on weekends. The second floor is empty and deserted, and there is no one there.

Most of the waiters upstairs chose to rest today and shift tomorrow. As for Du Guangning, Pei Guofu and others, because there were too many people eating in the cafeteria recently, they all rushed over to help.

Jiang Yu came to the rest area behind the kitchen, found a set of clean clothes from the cabinet in the room, and then went to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

After changing his clothes, he hesitated for a while, and finally took out a pair of leather shoes that he hadn't worn for a long time, took a rag and soaked it in some water, wiped the dust on the leather shoes, and then put them on his feet.

This pair of leather shoes was bought by grandma for herself when she was just admitted to university. Jiang Yu only wore them once on the day of the entrance report, and kept hiding them in the shoe box since then. wear.

Now that I am about to graduate, I will wear it again.

This is also the beginning and the end.

After changing his clothes, he thought about it, took another typed draft of his graduation thesis from the drawer, and then went downstairs again.

It was not yet eight o'clock, and when Jiang Yu came to the box, he saw that Hu Zhihai was still eating, and he was so angry that he laughed out loud:
"You are the reincarnation of Zhu Bajie, right? I went upstairs to take a shower and came down, why are you still eating!"

"I eat slowly, can't I?"

Hu Zhihai curled his lips and muttered, "I'm fine sitting here, how boring is it just waiting?"

While talking, he picked up another duck paw, put it in his mouth and gnawed it happily.

"Based on your way of eating, I think you will soon have to rush for three hundred catties."

Jiang Yu sat down on the sofa opposite, shook his head and said,

"When the time comes, I hope your parents won't blame me for fattening you up."

"Don't worry, after I finish my postgraduate entrance examination, I will work out in the gym, and the fat will be consumed."

As Hu Zhihai was talking, he suddenly remembered something, and quickly changed the subject, saying,
"Lao Jiang, I forgot to tell you. Last night, on my way back from self-study, I ran into Lao Wang and Lao He."

Jiang Yu looked up at him and asked, "And then?"

"I chatted with them casually, and I don't know why. I feel that the two of them are weird."

Hu Zhihai stopped chewing, frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said,

"At first, I wanted to mention the dormitory party to them, but seeing their appearance, I held back."

"I thought there was some great discovery."

Jiang Yu leaned back on the sofa, pouted and said,

"Hurry up and eat. It's almost eight o'clock. If you are late for your defense, you can just wait and cry."

"Okay, okay, don't eat."

Hu Zhihai picked up the preserved egg and lean meat porridge on the tea table and poured it into his mouth, chewed it quickly a few times and swallowed it, then picked up the last duck paw, stood up from his seat, raised his chin at Chong Jiangyu, and said excitedly,

"Let's go! Let's go to the graduation thesis defense, I can't wait!"

Jiang Yu glanced at him and saw that he was holding a graduation thesis in his left hand and a braised duck paw in his right hand. He was speechless for a moment. He shook his head helplessly, and without saying anything, he opened the door of the box and quickly walked out.

Hurry up and stay away from this fat man, we can't afford to lose that man!
There is still a distance from the No. 10 canteen to the building of the School of Humanities, and the bright sun above the head made people dizzy. Therefore, the two of them didn't talk much along the way, and walked all the way with their heads depressed. It was less than [-] Minutes arrived at the School of Humanities.

At this moment, there are less than 10 minutes before the official start of the defense. The students who had gathered upstairs to chat and laugh had already gone upstairs. Under the arrangement of the teacher in the office, they sat in an empty room beside the defense meeting. In the classroom, waiting for the lottery to start in a while.

After that, the graduates will enter the defense meeting one by one in the order of drawing lots to defend their graduation thesis.

There is still some time before the official defense, and the defense teachers have not come yet, and everyone is still sitting in the classroom in twos and threes, chatting quietly.

After all, after the graduation thesis defense is over, everyone will go their separate ways, and they will have their own life circles in the future. The students who are close to each other are okay, and they can get together occasionally. Those who are far away, Likely never to see you again.

Taking advantage of the present, if you can chat for a while, just chat for a while.

Everyone was chatting with each other, when two people suddenly appeared at the door of the classroom, everyone couldn't help but look up:
Whoa!Isn't this the former "little transparent" in the class, and now the "big celebrity" Jiang Yu!

The chubby guy behind him, who looks like a fool, is familiar to everyone, except for Hu Zhihai, the "rich second generation", no one in the class is qualified to be cynical.

Jiang Yu was still the same as before, without saying anything, smiled at everyone, went straight to the back of the classroom, found a small corner by the window and sat down, then spread out the share he brought with him. Graduation thesis, read it.

That appearance is still the "little transparency" of the past. It is neither ostentatious nor ostentatious, and it will not be grandstanding in order to attract people's attention.

But Hu Zhihai was completely different, he raised his mouth and showed a smile, nodded to this one, said "Long time no see", waved to that one, and said "Let's talk later", after a few short steps, he walked in a daze for several minutes.

Finally, he also came to the back of the classroom and sat down beside Jiang Yu.

As soon as Jiang Yu and Hu Zhihai sat down, the girl who said that she would treat Jiang Yu when he came, sneaked over, sat in the seat in front of Jiang Yu, and stared at Jiang Yu up and down. for a while.

Jiang Yu had never seen such a scene before, he was so stared at, he sat back a little uncomfortably, then lowered his head and glanced at his clothes, and couldn't help asking:
"Wang Jia, what are you looking at? There is nothing strange about me, right?"

"I didn't say you have strange things on you!"

Wang Jia has always been very lively, and she was the most active person in the class, laughing and joking all day long, chatting with everyone.

However, Jiang Yu was busy working part-time to make money at that time, even when he came to class, he came and went in a hurry, and he seldom participated in the activities organized by the class, so he didn't have much contact with Wang Jia.

She said with a smile, "I just want to see if you have hidden anything other than your superb cooking skills, but after looking around, it seems that you can't see anything."

Jiang Yu: "..."

Before he could figure out how to reply, Wang Jia came up again and asked curiously:

"Jiang Yu, I heard people say that you once made a banquet table and was bought for a high price of [-] yuan. Is this true?"

Jiang Yu glanced at her and asked, "What do you think?"

"I said? If you want me to say it, [-]% of it is true. I have eaten in the No. [-] canteen for the past two days. The food is really delicious, much better than those in big restaurants!"

Wang Jiaba smacked her small lips, as if she was still thinking about it, she stared at Jiang Yu with bright eyes, and said with a smile,

"Jiang Yu, we are also classmates after all, we are about to graduate now, and we don't know if we can meet again in the future, well, should you treat us to a meal?"

"no problem."

Jiang Yu grinned and smiled at her.

He knew that as long as he came, someone would definitely propose a treat.

Of course, it was just a meal, so he naturally wouldn't be reluctant, not to mention these people were his classmates for four years.

Even if there was no intersection in the class before.

After thinking about it, he said, "It might be too late for noon, so how about treating everyone to dinner?"

"really?"

Wang Jia's eyes lit up immediately. She was already very lively. Seeing Jiang Yu nodded again, she immediately stood up with joy and said to everyone,

"Students, Jiang Yu said, treat us to dinner tonight!
This may be the last time that so many of our classmates have dinner together, remember to come when the time comes! "

After saying this, the students who were still whispering to each other turned their heads one after another, looked at Wang Jia in surprise, and then at Jiang Yu. After a moment of silence, there was another "boom" in the classroom There was a loud noise:

"Oh, Wang Jia is really amazing. He said he wanted Jiang Yu to treat him, but he really did!"

"I heard it when I was an intern in other places. Jiang Yu's food is delicious. Even the boss of our company is greedy. Every week, I plan to rush to book a box, but it's a pity that I only got one!"

"Jiang Yu, you can't let the students go to the cafeteria for your treat. I heard that you have private rooms on the second floor!"

"..."

Upon hearing that Jiang Yu was going to treat guests to dinner, the students who were a little nervous about the upcoming graduation thesis defense suddenly became excited and chattered non-stop.

Some people are excited, and naturally others are depressed.

For example, Wang Xueyi and He Tao, who shared Jiang Yu's dormitory, although they were also smiling, felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

The two of them have been in the same dormitory with Jiang Yu for four years, and Jiang Yu has never said that he wants to treat the two of them to a meal alone, like other men's dorms, they have a dormitory party or something.

Wang Xueyi and He Tao looked at each other, and they both saw the depression in each other's eyes.

"He has a treat tonight, are you going?"

After thinking about it, Wang Xueyi leaned over to He Tao's side and whispered,

"I'm going back in the afternoon. I still have some things to do at home. After the family matters are settled, I have to rent a house near Beijing University and prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination."

After a pause, he seemed to be gnashing his teeth a little bit, and said again, "Even if I lose a piece of meat, I have to be admitted to the graduate school of Peking University this time!"

"Uh... I, I'm not going either, am I?"

He Tao's eyes flickered a little upon hearing what he said, he hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice,
"I still asked for leave from the TV station, and I have to go back to work."

The two of them put their heads together and muttered for a while, but no one knew what they were talking about.

Jiang Yu didn't bother to care who went and who didn't, he turned his head and said to Hu Zhihai:
"Fatty, go out and see if the counselor is there. If he is, tell him and come together at night."

"Oh, good!"

Hu Zhihai nodded repeatedly, stood up from his seat, strode out of the classroom, and went to the counselor.

After a while, he came back, grinned at Jiang Yu, and said happily,

"I told Lao Chen that Lao Chen was so happy that he looked like he was dreaming."

Lao Chen is the counselor of their class. He is a brother from the college who graduated from graduate school two years ago, and he is not a few years older than them.

A group of people discussed noisyly for a while, and soon a female teacher came to the college office, knocked on the table and said to everyone:
"The responding teacher has already arrived, so stop chattering. If you leave a bad impression on the teacher and you won't be able to graduate by then, don't cry!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone shut up instantly, and the classroom suddenly became quiet.

Seeing that they are about to graduate, many people have even found a job. If there is a problem at this time and they can't get their graduation certificates, isn't that going to kill them?
"Now the draw begins."

The female teacher said, and put a transparent plastic box for lottery on the table, and then said,

"When the defense meeting begins in a while, the teacher will call the number one by one, and whichever number is called, which student will go in to participate in the thesis defense.

The dissertation defense usually ends in 8-10 minutes, so when you are defending, please don't waste time talking nonsense, which will only affect the smooth passing of your defense.

Alright, now let's draw lots one by one! "

As soon as the voice fell, everyone sitting in the classroom got up one after another, and walked forward one by one to start drawing lots.

"Holding the grass! I'm so unlucky...I'm actually No. 1! I'm the first to appear in the thesis defense!"

"Hey, fortunately, I am number 8, which is my lucky number, and this defense is stable!"

"..."

After the lottery was drawn, the classroom started to rustle again. Hu Zhihai opened the lottery paper he had drawn and looked at it, frowning:
"Damn it! I actually got the 28th. Doesn't it mean that I have to wait until the afternoon to participate in the defense?!"

With that said, he turned his head to the paper in Jiang Yu's hand and asked, "Lao Jiang, what's your number?"

Jiang Yu slowly opened the lottery in his hand, glanced at it and smiled:
"On the 6th, after participating in the defense, I can go back and help Xiaowu cook a few dishes."
