Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 445 - 265: If You Ask Who’s the Real Rice King, We’re All Rice Kings

"What’s so troublesome about it?"

Jiang Yu shook his head, walked over to take a look, and asked, "By the way, is the beef braised yet?"

"It’s already done, using your special blend of spices."

Lu Shuwu nodded, instinctively swallowing, and said,

"Boss, I think just slicing the braised beef, adding some of the chopped chili you made before, and sprinkling it with cilantro, would already make a great dish!"

"Sure, if you think cold braised beef is good, you can add it as a dish, it’s no big deal."

Jiang Yu chuckled and said to him,

"Alright, it’s about time. Let’s start cooking. You can help me out."

"Alright!"

Lu Shuwu responded, his face full of excitement as he got busy.

Jiang Yu turned around to the sink, washed his hands, dried them with a towel, and then went back to the stove, heating up the oil to start cooking.

...

Seventh Dining Hall, on the first floor.

Outside, it was blazing hot under the summer sun, unbearable, while inside the dining hall was breezy and comfortable, almost like two different worlds.

It had just passed ten o’clock, and about a dozen students were scattered around the dining area, enjoying the air conditioning while chatting:

"This weather is too hot, and it’s only early June. What will it be like in August?"

"I don’t know about frying people alive, but I do know you could fry an egg on the pavement!"

"This weather gets hotter every year. You think since Seventh Dining Hall is so far from the dorms, people won’t want to come when it’s this hot?"

"Heh, do you think there were few people when Seventh Dining Hall first opened last October?"

"That’s true, Senior Brother Jiang’s food is so good. Even if it was raining knives, we’d still find a way to come!"

"..."

After a group of people chatted for a while, suddenly one student said mysteriously:

"Hey, did you know? Today, Senior Brother Jiang is cooking personally, and I heard since it’s summer now, the dining hall will be changing some of the dishes!"

"Really? Damn! Does that mean Senior Brother Jiang is making new dishes for us?"

"Of course it’s true. Someone in my dorm works part-time at Seventh Dining Hall. He told me himself!"

"Then we came early today, just in time!"

"..."

After a moment of excitement, one of the students suddenly got up and said while walking out,

"Hurry up, stop sitting around! We need to get in line. With so many part-time workers in the dining hall, do you think we’re the only ones who got the news? Do you believe it or not, but in a little while, a big crowd will come rushing in!"

"Yes, yes, quickly get in line!"

"Heh, we just don’t know what new dishes Senior Brother Jiang will make. Otherwise, we’d have decided what to eat for lunch already!"

"Tch! Does it matter if we know or not? When has Senior Brother Jiang’s dishes ever disappointed you?"

"Exactly!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"..."

About a dozen people chatted and laughed as they quickly headed to the food counter and lined up. Before they could even get settled, the plastic curtain at the dining hall entrance was suddenly flung open.

Immediately, one student after another streamed in, each with shiny, sweaty faces filled with excitement.

As soon as they came in and saw that about a dozen people were already in line, they were stunned. They thought they were the first batch to arrive, but little did they know, some arrived even earlier!

This is truly asking which group is best at getting food; we are all champions at eating!
