I work as a chef in the university cafeteria

Chapter 54 What Are They Eating?
As the night darkened, street lights lit up on the road in the campus, illuminating the whole school.

In each dormitory building, lights were lit in every window, and from time to time, there were faint bursts of singing and laughter.

The No. [-] canteen, which had been noisy all day, gradually quieted down, and most of the stalls had already started to be cleaned up, ready to end the day's business.

The "Jiang's Soup Dumplings" shop is not closed yet, and there are still people waiting in line outside the window to buy food.

However, Jiang Yu and Lu Shuwu had already rested, and the soup dumplings they made before were enough to sell.

The weather is still too hot now, so it’s really not suitable to make soup dumplings one night in advance. Even if the steamed buns are kept in the freezer, the taste of steamed buns that have been frozen will definitely be much worse than freshly made ones .

Therefore, Jiang Yu would rather come earlier the next day so that the students could eat freshly baked soup dumplings, even if it was a bit harder.

Jiang Yu sat and rested for a while, seeing that the soup dumplings were almost sold out, he turned his head to look at Lu Shuwu, and asked casually:

"What will I eat later? Or eat soup dumplings and saliva chicken?"

"Otherwise? Are you planning to cook new dishes?"

"No new dishes."

"That's not it."

Lu Shuwu was not disappointed either. He took a sip of water from his cup, smacked his lips and said,
"I've only eaten the drooling chicken a few times, and I'm not tired of it at all."

Jiang Yu glanced at him, and said contemptuously, "After eating so many soup dumplings and hot and sour soup, don't you get tired of it?"

"It's normal not to get tired of such delicious food, right?"

Lu Shuwu didn't feel embarrassed at all, he said with a smile,

"Of course, if the boss cooks more new dishes in the future, even if I don't get tired of eating them, I won't be able to eat so many. I can only choose better ones."

Jiang Yu: "..."

The two of them were talking without a word when Yan Tongtong, who was doing business in front, suddenly turned around and shouted:
"Boss, someone outside is looking for you!"

"coming!"

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, it was already at this point, who else would come to him?

But he quickly came back to his senses, stood up from his seat, and strode outside.

There were not many students queuing up outside. Yan Tongtong and Li Yue were busy finishing the work. Although they were still a little tired, they seemed to be in a good mood.

When he came to the counter, Jiang Yu glanced into the hall outside the window, and at a glance, he saw a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s, pacing with his hands behind his back, looking up slightly, looking around, with a serious look on his face. Thoughtful look.

This, isn't this Mr. Xiong from the Academic Affairs Office?
Why is he here now?

Unable to think too much, Jiang Yu hurriedly opened the door and walked out, greeted him with a smile and said:
"Mr. Xiong, why are you here?"

"Oh, I just came back from a walk outside. When I passed by here, I suddenly remembered that the shop opened by Xiao Jiangyi is here, so I just came in and took a look."

After hearing the voice, Teacher Xiong turned around, looked at Jiang Yu who was covered in flour, and couldn't help laughing.

"Your boss seems to have multiple jobs, and you have to be a guest chef yourself."

"Hehe, it's a small shop. We can't invite talented chefs, so we can only do it ourselves."

Jiang Yu patted the flour on his body, raised his hand as a gesture of invitation,
"Mr. Xiong, since we're all at the door, why don't you go in and sit down and drink some water?"

"Alright."

Teacher Xiong thought about it, and responded readily.

He lifted his foot and walked forward, saying,
"Didn't I promise you in the morning that I would help you find a stall with a larger area? I just thought that I should come over in person someday when I have time to see what your current store is like and how big it is. .

If I don't even know the basic situation, then if the stalls I searched for are not as big as yours now, then I will really do bad things with good intentions! "

While talking, the two walked into the store one after the other.

"Mr. Xiong, sit down first, I'll get you a glass of water!"

After entering the store, Jiang Yu led Mr. Xiong to the back kitchen to sit down, took out a clean cup, and made him a cup of tea.

"Xiao Jiang, your shop is indeed a bit small."

When Jiang Yu finished making tea and brought it over, Mr. Xiong who looked around took a look at Jiang Yu, shook his head and said,

"It's quite suitable for this store to be used as a steamed stuffed bun shop, a juice shop, etc. However, if you want to do other things while selling steamed stuffed buns, it's obviously not enough."

"Yes, this is probably the case now."

Jiang Yu nodded and continued, "If the store could be bigger..."

Before he finished speaking, a loud voice suddenly came from outside:

"Lao Jiang! It's so late, come out to eat quickly! You're hardcore, aren't you hungry yet?"

As soon as the words fell, Hu Zhihai broke in from the front. He saw Mr. Xiong sitting inside at a glance, couldn't help being stunned, subconsciously raised his hand and scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment,

"No, sorry, I didn't notice that there were still customers in the store...

You talk, you talk!I went out first! "

With that said, he quickly turned around and left in a little embarrassment.

"It's already 9 o'clock in the evening, you haven't had dinner yet?"

When Hu Zhihai left, Mr. Xiong looked at Jiang Yu in surprise, raised his hand and urged him repeatedly,
"Hurry up and eat, don't worry about me, I just came to take a look, nothing to do, just sit down for a while and go back."

"Okay, Mr. Xiong, please sit down first, I will come over in a while."

Jiang Yu was not polite, and said "sorry" again, then stood up, turned and left in a hurry.

Teacher Xiong looked at Jiang Yu's leaving back and couldn't help sighing.

This young man can really endure hardships!

I opened such a small shop in school before I graduated, and I am both the owner and the cook, but I have been so busy that I haven't had time to eat.

How many young people today are able to endure hardship?
Thinking of this, Teacher Xiong couldn't help thinking of his son who was still in junior high school.

They are already more than ten years old, and they can't bear a little bit of grievance, and they can't bear a little bit of hardship.

The garbage bags at home are full, and it would be a long time to ask him to go downstairs to throw out the garbage. His mouth is so raised that he can hang a soy sauce bottle; he can wear dirty socks and let him wash himself, and he will be unhappy. long time……

I feel tired just thinking about it!
Speaking of it, the adults in the family are too spoiled. If it goes on like this for a long time, I won't be able to bear any hardships. What will happen when I grow up?

Looking back at Jiang Yu, comparing the two, Mr. Xiong felt that Jiang Yu was capable of success.

A person who is willing to bear hardships may not succeed, but if he has the ability and can get help from outside, why can't he succeed?

Thinking of this in his heart, Mr. Xiong couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, planning to wait for Jiang Yu to come and have a good chat later.

At this moment, a refreshing smell of coriander mixed with tempting spicy and delicious fragrance penetrated straight into the tip of his nose, which made Mr. Xiong tremble, and his stomach also "cuckooed" cried out!
He stood up suddenly, his eyes looked straight ahead, as if he wanted to see clearly through all barriers:
"What are they eating?"
