I work as a chef in the university cafeteria

Chapter 41
After eating, everyone rested for a while and started to get busy again.

It was almost three o'clock now, and it was not far from the time for the students to have dinner, so they had to move quickly.

As usual, Hu Zhihai and Yan Tongtong cleaned up the steamer and washed the vegetables, while Jiang Yu and Lu Shuwu went back to the back kitchen and continued to sit down and make soup dumplings.

"boss……"

After sitting down at the desk, Lu Shuwu was about to say something, when suddenly there was a shrill cell phone ringing from Jiang Yu's pocket.

Jiang Yu was also taken aback, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket to check. It was a local landline number that looked a little strange, and he didn't know who was calling.

He gestured to Lu Shuwu, then picked it up from the side: "Hello, hello!"

There was a middle-of-the-road voice from the other end of the phone: "Hello! Is this Jiang Yujiang's classmate?"

"I'm Jiang Yu, may I ask who you are?"

"Oh, I'm the deputy director of the School's Academic Affairs Office. My surname is Xiong. You can call me Mr. Xiong."

The teacher Xiong smiled and continued,

"Student Jiang, do you have time now? If you have time, can you please come to the administration building? I have something I want to talk to you about. Don't worry, it won't take you too long."

Jiang Yu looked back at the busy situation in the store, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said:

"Okay, Teacher Xiong, I'll be right there."

"I'm going out for a while. The teacher at the school has something to do with me. You should be busy here first. I'll be back in a while."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yu turned to look at Lu Shuwu, as if he remembered something, and asked again, "By the way, what did you want to say before?"

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay!"

Lu Shuwu quickly waved his hands, and said with a smile, "If you have something to do, go there quickly. Don't worry about things in the store. I'm here."

"Oh, okay, then I'll go first."

Jiang Yu didn't care, nodded, turned around and hurried out the door.

Seeing Jiang Yu's back leaving, Lu Shuwu scratched his head helplessly. He really had nothing to say, he just wanted to ask Jiang Yu what new dishes he made tonight.

This damn question, like an invisible little hand, kept scratching his chest, making his heart itch.

Jiang Yu was worried about the teacher from the Academic Affairs Office looking for him, so he walked very quickly along the way, and arrived at the school's administrative building not long after.

After going up to the third floor, he found the office of the Deputy Director of the Academic Affairs Office according to the door number. Jiang Yu took a few deep breaths to slow down his rapid heartbeat, then he raised his hand and knocked on the door lightly, and heard a voice coming from inside. After saying "Come in", he stretched out his hand to push the door open and walked in.

There was only one person in the office, and he was standing at the desk sorting things out. When he saw Jiang Yu coming in, he smiled and said hello:
"Student Jiang Yujiang, right? I'm so sorry, I was supposed to go to you for this matter, but the school has just started, and the freshmen are about to go to military training. There are many things to do, so I can only let you go there yourself. "

"Teacher Xiong is polite. As a student, I should come to visit the teacher."

Jiang Yu smiled and asked curiously, "On the phone before, Mr. Xiong said that he wanted to talk to me about something. I don't know what it is?"

"It's a little bit of a problem, but it's not a big deal."

Teacher Xiong pointed to the sofa beside him, motioning for Jiang Yu to sit down first, and then asked,

"Do you often go to campus forums?"

"Occasionally, I've been a little busy recently, so I don't go to school much."

"That's right, I almost forgot, you are not just a student now, how can you have time to hang out online?"

Teacher Xiong couldn't help laughing, and continued,

"That's how it happened. A freshman posted a post on the campus forum, saying that he was going to have military training, and he would no longer be able to eat the soup buns in the second cafeteria.

As a result, this post also attracted a group of freshmen to reply, appealing to the school to find a way, saying, "I don't want to be able to eat soup dumplings, but I want to have a fair opportunity."

Because there are many freshmen who are concerned about this matter, and the school is also worried that it will affect military training, so I wanted to talk to the owner of the soup dumpling shop to discuss how to solve this matter.

The result was really unexpected to me. I went to the logistics office to check and found out that this soup dumpling shop was actually opened by the students of our school! "

After finishing speaking, Teacher Xiong looked at Jiang Yu with admiration, which made Jiang Yu feel a little uncomfortable.

He sneered and said:

"Mr. Xiong laughed at me. Those seniors and sisters in the school who start companies outside to innovate are really admirable. A small shop selling steamed stuffed buns like me is really not worth mentioning."

"You can't say that, how many people don't even dare to have the idea of ​​opening a small shop?"

Mr. Xiong obviously didn't agree with Jiang Yu's idea, he said,

"You can open a soup dumpling shop like this, and so many students in the school like it, it shows that you are still very good. I believe that a small shop is just the beginning for you, and it will definitely grow bigger and bigger in the future."

"Thank you Teacher Xiong for your encouragement, I will definitely work hard."

Seeing that Mr. Xiong was getting further and further away, Jiang Yu quickly brought the topic back, and he asked,

"Mr. Xiong, you just said that freshman military training can't buy soup dumplings, and you want to discuss how to solve this problem. I don't know what the school thinks?"

"The school doesn't have any specific ideas. After all, I haven't encountered such a thing before. According to my opinion, it mainly depends on what you mean."

Teacher Xiong thought for a while, looked at Jiang Yu again, and asked, "Xiao Jiang, what do you think?"

A trace of hesitation appeared on Jiang Yu's face, "Uh..."

"Don't worry, just say what you think!"

Teacher Xiong waved his hand and said with a big face,

"Speaking of this, it was originally a burden on your store. If you have any requests, you can ask them! After all, you are also a student in our school. If you start your own business, the school should also support it!"

"It's not that I have any concerns..."

Jiang Yu listened to Mr. Xiong's words, thought about it, and said quite sincerely,

"Since Mr. Xiong has gone to the logistics department to check, he should also know that our store is relatively small and there are not many people. It is simply unrealistic to meet the requirements of so many new students..."

"So you meant this. In fact, you misunderstood. We have more than 8000 undergraduate freshmen. Let alone your restaurant, any cafeteria in the school cannot provide food for more than 8000 people at the same time."

Hearing what Jiang Yu said, Mr. Xiong laughed. He waved his hand and said,

"Don't worry, the freshmen themselves know that this is impossible, they just hope to provide them with an opportunity to buy soup dumpling, whether they can buy it or not depends on their own ability.

In addition... your store is indeed a little small, and I didn't know about your business before. Otherwise, the school would give priority to its own students when the five canteens were re-tendered before.

Of course, it's really too late to say these things now. The Fifth Canteen has already signed the contract, and there is no way to change it. We can only wait until later to see if there are other opportunities.

However, if you are interested, I can still help you go to the logistics office and ask if I can change to a larger stall.

what do you think? "
