Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 440 - 264: What Is Her Relationship With Jiang Yu?
After going up to the second floor, they followed the waiter to the "Mei" private room, and sat around the dining table.
"Xiaoqian, go to the kitchen and say hi to Xiaojiang, tell him that your cousin is here, and ask him to make a couple more dishes."
After sitting down, Pan Jingchen finally spoke. She turned her head to glance at Zhu Yaxue, smiled at her, and said,
"Whatever dishes you like, just let your cousin know."
"Uh, tha-thank you, Sister Chen, I’m not picky, I can eat anything."
Upon hearing Pan Jingchen’s sweet voice, as pleasant as a nightingale, Zhu Yaxue was a bit flustered and couldn’t help but glance at her again.
Inside the private room, Pan Jingchen had already removed the mask and sunglasses from her face, revealing a delicate and elegant face. Her bright and lively eyes seemed to glow, shining under the light.
Upon seeing this face, Zhu Yaxue was momentarily stunned.
Even though she doesn’t often follow the entertainment industry, how could she not know about Pan Jingchen, the superstar with outstanding achievements in both music and film?
Pan Jingchen is really popular!
The key point is, it’s said that Pan Jingchen has "disappeared" for some time, and her many fans are going crazy, searching everywhere for news about her.
Who would have thought that Pan Jingchen would appear here?
What, what, what kind of relationship does she have with Jiang Yu?!
In an instant, the gossip fire in Zhu Yaxue’s heart burned fiercely.
Of course, she’s not a fool and wouldn’t show a shocked expression in front of Pan Jingchen.
Moreover, her cousin had previously reminded her not to ask too many questions, so she naturally wouldn’t do anything annoying.
"I know what you like to eat, don’t worry, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied."
Liu Qian gave Zhu Yaxue a playful smile, stood up from her seat, turned around, and left the private room towards the kitchen.
Soon, Liu Qian came back, looking excited as she leaned close to Zhu Yaxue and whispered:
"Xiaoxue, can you guess what dishes I ordered?"
"How would I know?"
Zhu Yaxue pouted and didn’t say anything. Her cousin is a year older than her, yet still so childish?
The two of them huddled together, talking quietly, while opposite them, Pan Jingchen had somehow pulled out a book and was leisurely reading it.
The three of them hadn’t waited long in the private room when the waiter who had led them there began bringing in the dishes.
After placing a series of steaming dishes on the table, the waiter put three servings of tomato and egg sauce knife-cut noodles in front of them, smiling as she said:
"The dishes are all here, please enjoy!"
After saying this, she turned and left the private room, closing the door as she went.
After the waiter left, Zhu Yaxue’s big eyes widened. She first looked at the portion of tomato and egg sauce knife-cut noodles in front of her, the sour aroma of tomatoes and the fragrance of eggs wafting up, making her irresistibly swallow her saliva.
Then, she lifted her head, staring hard at the dishes in front of her and murmuring,
"Crispy pork, golden broth fish fillets, mouth-watering chicken, and vinegar sliced potatoes..."
Among these, the golden broth fish fillets and vinegar sliced potatoes are her favorites!
Thinking about the sour and crispy texture of the vinegar sliced potatoes in her mouth, and the spicy and aromatic taste of the golden broth fish fillets, she could feel her mouth watering and saliva gushing forth.
"What are you waiting for? Dig in!"
Her cousin Liu Qian saw her still sitting there, staring blankly at the dishes on the table. She couldn’t help but gently push her with a look of playful scolding,
"Look at you, you silly girl!"
Saying this, she couldn’t be bothered with her silly cousin Zhu Yaxue anymore, picked up her chopsticks to mix her own tomato and egg sauce knife-cut noodles, and then started eating with gusto.
"Mmm! Such delicious noodles!"
Zhu Yaxue was given a nudge by her cousin and quickly snapped out of it. She gulped down her saliva, picked up her chopsticks to mix her own noodles, and cautiously picked up a strand to taste, chewing carefully.
Despite being somewhat surprised, she didn’t forget her purpose for traveling all this way to Chang’an University, to taste Jiang Yu’s cooking.
Like her cousin Liu Qian, gobbling down food without regard for image not only looks bad but also prevents one from savoring the taste.
The knife-cut noodles were chewy and smooth, neither too thick nor too thin, becoming more flavorful the more you chewed, covered in tomato-egg sauce that added a sour and savory taste, making it hard to stop eating.
She may not be from Chang’an, but her home isn’t far, and the culinary habits of both places aren’t much different.
It’s important to know that Chang’an is known as the capital of noodles, and growing up in this city, noodles are a staple at the dinner table.
Comparing the love for noodles with people from Shanxi, the people of Chang’an are just as passionate.
And Zhu Yaxue has grown up eating noodles, so she can instantly tell if they’re made well.
After eating one strand of the knife-cut noodles, she hesitated for a moment before imitating her cousin Liu Qian by picking up a full chopstick of noodles and putting it straight into her mouth.
This time, her eyes lit up instantly:
The portion of a single noodle strand was too small, almost causing her to miss out on the deliciousness!
