Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 269: Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables, and College Students About to Graduate
The end of the year is a time for many senior students to relax.

This is especially true for those taking postgraduate entrance exams.

Student Qiao Wenshuai has already finished the national civil service exam and the postgraduate entrance exam, and is preparing to enjoy his last days in college before the results are released.

But what he missed most was the pancakes he bought from the cafeteria for only a week.

"I have two regrets during my college life. One is that I didn't find a girlfriend, and the other is that I didn't get to taste the breakfast made by that young chef again."

He expressed his feelings to several of his roommates.

During his preparation for the exam, Qiao Wenshuai basically bid farewell to all social and entertainment activities.

He didn't know what had happened to the young cafeteria chef over the past few months.

After hearing Qiao Wenshuai's regrets about college, his two roommates shook their heads at him:
"Old Joe, you are being a little bit dishonest when you say that."

Qiao Wenshuai blushed a little.
"Hmm? Don't get me wrong. Xiao Yuan and I are just ordinary classmates. We haven't become boyfriend and girlfriend yet."

"If I had a girlfriend, could I still hide it from you?"

"I have only known her for 162 days, met her 73 times, and have only 407 chat records."

"Stop, stop, stop. No need to go into such detail," the two roommates interrupted Qiao Wenshuai's detailed description. "We are talking about the young chef who used to make pancakes in the cafeteria."

Qiao Wenshuai breathed a sigh of relief.

"So you mean him. What? Do you have any news about this young master? Why doesn't he work in the cafeteria anymore?"

Roommates:

"Of course, this young chef has opened a shop, and now everyone calls him Boss Li."

"Also, have you forgotten the midnight snack we brought you one night? He made that."

"Which time?"

Qiao Wenshuai didn't know how long ago the two buddies were referring to.

My roommate immediately started to curse:

"You are just thinking about women, not your buddies, right?"

Qiao Wenshuai was very embarrassed.

During the time he was reviewing, he basically focused all his energy on studying, although his roommates took good care of him, adjusted to his schedule, and sometimes brought him midnight snacks.

But he really forgot.

So I bowed to my two roommates:
"I'll treat you and apologize. Good brothers, please tell me where that young master is now."

"Call Dad."

"son!"

The three of them played together, just like they had just gotten to know each other during military training.

Qiao Wenshuai's two roommates came from well-off families. Although they could not inherit the family business, their families had arranged jobs for them.

I didn't take the postgraduate entrance examination or the civil service examination, and I had an easy life during college.

However, both of them admired Qiao Wenshuai's perseverance, and the fact that this guy always tiptoed when he got up early every day.

look now,

A little clumsy, and a little cute.

As graduation is approaching, my classmates who I have been with for four years will soon go their separate ways, and I feel inexplicably sad.

in the evening,
Qiao Wenshuai originally planned to take a taxi with his two roommates, but the two said they had to go out for something and would meet him at the store later.

Qiao Wenshuai took the subway by himself and came to Fangda Plaza.

After entering the pedestrian street, he called his roommate.

"Where have you been?"

Roommate: "We? You should go see if Xiao Yuan has arrived. I've asked her to come over for you. Xiao Yuan said she'll be here soon."

"What the hell?" Qiao Wenshuai suddenly became nervous. "I should have dressed up if I had known."

"Didn't I tell you to dress warmly? Okay, hang up now."

Qiao Wenshuai took down his phone and looked around the shop, considering whether to call Xiao Yuan first.

At this moment, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

The girl's familiar voice sounded in his ears:

"Wen Shuai!"

"Hello, Xiao Yuan."

Neither of them was stupid, and Xiao Yuan certainly understood what the younger students in the club were talking about.

So they walked towards Boss Li's shop tacitly. "Xiao Yuan, do you still remember the little chef who sells pancakes in our cafeteria? He opened this shop."

Xiao Yuan felt that only Qiao Wenshuai could talk about this as something new.

She smiled:

"That was a long time ago. He also has a video account online called Ordinary Food Lover."

"I uninstalled Douyin before and just downloaded it back today."

Xiao Yuan complained:

"I said I shared the video with you, why didn't you ever reply to me?"

Qiao Wenshuai:
"The first thing I'll do next time is watch all the videos you've promoted."

When the two entered the store, Qiao saw the familiar young master again.

He greeted warmly:
"Boss Li, long time no see. I bought your pancakes in Canteen 8 before."

Li Rui was deeply impressed by this classmate.

At that time, he was almost always one of the first people to enter the cafeteria every day.

Li Rui smiled and asked him:

"What would you like to eat today? Would you like some pancake skin?"

Qiao Wenshuai was delighted to find that the boss actually remembered his taste.

“This is a must.”

Then he and Xiao Yuan went to the bar and discussed what to eat in the evening.

The two of them looked through the delicious food updated on Li Rui's video account almost from beginning to end.

Ordered pork with preserved vegetables, blanched choy sum, and fried apples
Comrade Ma Jinge reminded:

“We have a lot of food.”

"Okay, that's all for now."

The food was served and they both started to taste it.

The pork with preserved vegetables has a ruddy color and a unique aroma. This is the only video without voice.

When you see the real food, you will find it even more tempting than in the video.

They were very curious about what the food made in the store tasted like.

“It looks delicious.”

"I've been busy chatting, let's eat."

"Uh-huh."

They each picked up a piece of meat.

The pork belly is salty and sweet, fatty but not greasy.

When it is in your mouth, it takes no effort to chew it, it is soft, tender and smooth.

The preserved vegetables have absorbed the fat and juice from the pork belly, and in addition to their own unique flavor, they are also very sweet.

The two ingredients and a variety of sauces go through multiple processes of boiling, frying and steaming, and they are closely integrated with each other.

It’s just like the little bits and pieces that people leave in each other’s lives when they get along with each other.

As they were about to graduate, the two also talked about their future plans.

Xiao Yuan asked first:
"How were your two exams?"

"I checked the answers and felt that none of them were certain. It would be great if I could choose one of them. If I fail in none of them, I should be able to continue my postgraduate studies at Jianghai University."

"What about you? What are your plans after graduation?"

Xiao Yuan put down his chopsticks and looked at Qiao Wenshuai, "If I don't pass the postgraduate entrance examination, my parents want me to go back. But..."

Qiao Wenshuai took over Xiao Yuan's words.

"Girls really feel more at ease when they are with their parents."

He is not a brave man.

At this time, Qiao Wenshuai still didn't know where his future would lead.

Because I was afraid of breaking up after graduation.

So I dare not start.
