Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 447 - 266: Could Easily Live Off Looks, Yet Relies on Culinary Skills

Still, despite her impatience, Zhu Yaxue never thought about cutting in line; of course, she didn’t dare to either.

Dashing over now to cut in line, how is that different from snatching someone else’s food?

If she fails at cutting in line, she might even get beaten up!

After anxious waiting, quite a while passed, and it was finally Zhu Yaxue’s turn. She leaned over to take a peek inside the window, feeling a huge wave of relief:

"Phew, thank goodness! Although there aren’t many cola chicken wings left, there are still some available, and there’s plenty of tomato-braised beef.

Hmm? What’s this... salt and pepper ribs?! Aaaaah, I want this too!"

Not long after, Zhu Yaxue was holding a large tray full of food, cheerfully running to the dining area to find an empty spot to sit down.

All around her were people seated, some burying their heads in their meals, others eating while exclaiming, their tone full of surprise:

"Oh my goodness! This cold braised beef is just too delicious! The beef is tender and flavorful, springy and chewy, and when paired with this unique chopped chili, it’s fragrant and spicy—simply amazing!"

"The cola chicken wings are the best, with tender, juicy chicken that falls off the bone with a gentle bite! The key is, it’s fresh and fragrant, with just the right balance of salty and sweet. With this flavor, I could finish a whole plate!"

"I just love the tomato-braised beef, using the soup to mix with rice; I can eat three big bowls of it, and I wouldn’t get tired of it every day!"

"..."

The students around were noisy, but Zhu Yaxue didn’t find it bothersome; instead, she quite liked the environment. It seemed that in such a lively atmosphere, her own meal tasted even better.

She picked up her chopsticks and hesitated for a moment, finally reaching for the salt and pepper ribs, grabbing a piece and putting it in her mouth.

She took a bite and was shocked; were the ribs this tender?

She hadn’t even exerted much force, just touched it slightly with her teeth, and the meat on the ribs instantly fell off the bone!

Zhu Yaxue chewed gently a few times, with a slight crunchy sound, the ribs crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, releasing juices from the tender meat.

In that moment, a rich fragrance of charred meat spread throughout her mouth.

This, this, this is too delicious!

Zhu Yaxue was so excited her cheeks turned red. After quickly finishing that piece of ribs, she immediately picked up another piece and stuffed it into her mouth.

She even couldn’t help but suck on the rib bones, only reluctantly putting them aside when she really couldn’t bite through.

This meal, Zhu Yaxue didn’t eat quickly, taking almost an hour to finally finish the whole plate of food.

After eating, she let out a long sigh of satisfaction and leaned back in her chair, completely unconcerned with her image, stretching out a hand to gently rub her slightly bulging belly.

The dishes Jiang Yu made were indeed exceptionally delicious.

Although the dishes made by his apprentices were also rare delights, upon careful tasting, the difference could still be noticed, even if it wasn’t substantial. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

In these few days, although she hadn’t yet encountered Jiang Yu, her interviews weren’t lagging behind. Failing to interview Jiang Yu himself, she could still understand him from other people’s perspectives.

This included other chefs working in the cafeteria, students working part-time, and even ordinary students who came to eat there; each person had their own view of "Jiang Yu."

A successful report is one that showcases the various depictions of Jiang Yu seen through different people’s eyes, allowing readers to get a comprehensive understanding of who Jiang Yu is.

By understanding Jiang Yu, one can understand why he chose to open a cafeteria at the school. Why is he so skilled in cooking?

Why does he avoid public exposure, to the extent that many who haven’t been to Canteen No. 7 don’t even know what Jiang Yu looks like?

Through these side interviews, Zhu Yaxue learned that Jiang Yu turned out to be just a young man in his early twenties, handsome and dashing, steady in his conduct, and kind-hearted.

More importantly, he is a senior student at Jiang University, set to start his graduate studies in the fall!

To Zhu Yaxue, this seemed incredible!

How could someone so young, with such good academic performance as a prospective graduate student, possess such outstanding culinary skills?

Of course, that’s not the main point; the main point is, he’s about to enter graduate school, and upon graduation, he may have a bright future. So why would he be willing to start managing a student cafeteria?

This series of questions made Zhu Yaxue increasingly curious about Jiang Yu. The desire to meet him and understand his thoughts grew stronger in her heart...

Thinking about these things, Zhu Yaxue couldn’t help but let out a long sigh. Her small hand stroking her little belly suddenly paused, and she was momentarily stunned:

Previously preoccupied with other thoughts, she hadn’t even realized that, in just these few days, her flat belly had actually, actually grown some extra fat!

Damn it!

Zhu Yaxue’s face fell, thinking about her eating habits over the past few days, with nearly every meal ending in being stuffed, and having not exercised much after eating. She just returned to her hotel to watch TV or surf the internet...

Just eating and then lying down, lying down and eating more. It would be truly strange if she didn’t gain weight!

"But can you blame me for this? If anyone’s to blame, it has to be Jiang Yu; who’s to blame for his food being so delicious?"
