Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 439 - 264: What Is Her Relationship With Jiang Yu?
Is he going to stop me again?
What puzzled Zhu Yaxue was that the short security guard acted as if he didn’t see her. He just glanced at the Sister Chen walking in front and didn’t say a word before turning back to the guard kiosk.
But at this moment, she couldn’t be bothered to think about these things. Her heart and mind were filled with joy and excitement because she had finally entered the gates of Jiang University!
It was really... damn difficult!
"Xiaoxue, are you planning to go with us, or are you going to the Seventh Dining Hall to eat by yourself?"
After entering the school gates, Pan Jingchen never turned around, walking leisurely through the campus of Jiang University, looking very relaxed.
Liu Qian pulled Zhu Yaxue gently, slowed down a few steps, and said softly,
"The food on the first floor of the Seventh Dining Hall is also really good. I’ve eaten there several times. Many of the dishes were set by Boss Xiao Jiang before he opened the restaurant. However, it’s not Boss Xiao Jiang cooking now; it’s one of his apprentices, but the taste is only slightly different from when Boss Xiao Jiang cooks."
"If you want to eat by yourself, then go earlier around ten thirty to line up. Otherwise, you might not even be able to buy the dishes. There are so many students eating at the Seventh Dining Hall every day; it’s always crowded."
Zhu Yaxue hesitated for a moment and asked, "Cousin, what’s the difference if I go with you guys?"
With a face full of pride, Liu Qian replied, "The food we eat is, of course, different. It’s all made by Boss Xiao Jiang himself!"
"Why?!"
This time, Zhu Yaxue was genuinely shocked.
She had read all the information about Jiang Yu and the Seventh Dining Hall over the past few days, so she certainly knew that since the official opening of the Seventh Dining Hall, Jiang Yu would generally only personally cook on the second floor of the dining hall.
And to book a private room in the Seventh Dining Hall was almost harder than winning a five-million-dollar jackpot. There are only forty private room slots available from Monday to Friday, being contested by tens of thousands of people. Winning a slot feels like a pie dropping from the sky and hitting your head!
She had even read before that when private room bookings could still be freely transferred, a transfer fee for a room could cost 5,000 yuan—how terrifying!
If Jiang Yu hadn’t later discovered this and implemented a registration booking system to restrict free transfers of private rooms, it’s likely that a lot of scalpers could make a fortune from it, perhaps even earning more than Jiang Yu himself!
Under such circumstances, her cousin actually said that she and Sister Chen were eating food made by Jiang Yu himself!
Why?!
"What do you mean why?"
Liu Qian glanced at her in surprise and then chuckled softly,
"Why ask so many questions? Isn’t it enough that the food is delicious?"
"Let me just ask you: are you coming with us or not?"
"Of course, I’m going with you!"
Zhu Yaxue couldn’t help but pout and immediately agreed without thinking.
She had come all the way from Chang’an to taste Jiang Yu’s cooking, right?
She wasn’t stupid. If she could eat food personally made by Jiang Yu, why would she eat his apprentice’s cooking instead?
Moreover, only by seeing Jiang Yu in person could she figure out if she could get an interview with him.
Perhaps because it was still early, Pan Jingchen wasn’t in a hurry to get to the Seventh Dining Hall and leisurely strolled around the campus of Jiang University.
Although Zhu Yaxue was very curious about her, she knew there were some things she shouldn’t ask about. Therefore, she just followed far behind Pan Jingchen with her cousin Liu Qian, chatting about private matters occasionally.
The three of them wandered around campus, stopping here and there, and time passed quickly. It felt like they hadn’t been strolling for long when it was already half-past ten.
Pan Jingchen didn’t continue to stroll around and headed straight in the direction of the Seventh Dining Hall.
Liu Qian and Zhu Yaxue quickly followed without any delay.
It wasn’t long before the three of them arrived at the Seventh Dining Hall.
Pan Jingchen and Liu Qian had been here many times before, so they were used to it, but for Zhu Yaxue, it was her first time. Seeing a long queue in front of the Seventh Dining Hall, she couldn’t help but be stunned.
"Don’t be surprised, there’s always a line this long at the Seventh Dining Hall every day. It’s still early now, so the line isn’t that long yet."
Seeing her cousin looking so adorably dazed, Liu Qian couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle softly. She whispered,
"If you want to know why, it’s because the food at the Seventh Dining Hall is so delicious. Although the other six dining halls are pretty good too, they can’t compare to this one.
That’s why many students would rather travel further to eat here and have to start lining up an hour in advance, just to ensure they can get food."
Zhu Yaxue: "..."
Right now, she was even more curious about Jiang Yu. What kind of person could open a dining hall like this?
He has such amazing culinary skills and can make such delicious food. If he really wanted to make money, opening a private restaurant or high-end restaurant in a big city would not only be easier than running a dining hall but also much more lucrative.
Why didn’t he venture out and opted to stay at the school instead?
This was something Zhu Yaxue couldn’t wrap her head around. It’s precisely because of this curiosity that she was intrigued.
It was not even 11 o’clock yet, so the number of people in the dining hall’s first-floor lobby wasn’t too many. Pan Jingchen didn’t stop and walked straight in from the dining hall entrance, passing through the dining area and heading upstairs to the second floor.
