Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 481 - 274: All These Years I Never Realized—A Hidden Master Beside Me (Part 4)

Jiang Yu couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this. He placed the frying pan and spatula on the stove, then poured some water into the pan to soak it. After soaking for a while, the pan would be easier to clean.

After a pause, he asked, "By the way, since you’re not full yet, what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see if you were done. If you are, let’s go have a drink with everyone."

Hu Zhihai finally managed to tear himself away from the temptation of the stir-fried beef noodles, and said to Jiang Yu with a serious look,

"Today is our class reunion, you’re part of our class. How can everyone else be happily eating in the private room while leaving you alone in the kitchen? It doesn’t make sense!"

"Alright then, let’s bring these plates of stir-fried beef noodles over too—this is the last main dish."

Jiang Yu nodded, turned around, and called out to Lu Shuwu. Each of them carried a large steaming plate of stir-fried beef noodles over to the private room.

Just as Jiang Yu walked into the private room with a large plate of stir-fried beef noodles, those classmates who were already having a good time noticed him, and suddenly shouted with big smiles on their faces:

"Jiang Yu, we were just talking about you! The food you make is so delicious; we’ve never had anything so good before!"

"Lao Jiang, you’re truly amazing! How come we never realized you had this skill before? It’s such a shame!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Pour Jiang Yu some wine! We must toast Jiang Yu today! If it weren’t for him, how could we be eating such delicious food?"

"..."

A raucous group of people pulled Jiang Yu to a chair to sit down. Somehow, they found a cup, rinsed it with beer, then refilled it with wine and handed it to Jiang Yu.

"Come, come, come! Everyone fill up! Let’s all raise a toast to Jiang Yu!"

One guy took a beer bottle, bit open the cap, filled his cup, then raised it and said loudly,

"We need to properly thank Jiang Yu. Firstly, thank him for treating our class to this meal, otherwise, we might not have gathered so many people.

Secondly, let’s thank Jiang Yu for his hard work today. While we’re having a great time in the private room, he’s been busy alone in the kitchen. Without him, how could we be enjoying such great food?

Lastly, Jiang Yu will be pursuing his graduate studies in the second half of the year. As old classmates, we must wish him success in advance, and also wish the Seventh Dining Hall’s business to thrive!"

This guy was always an active member in class and had spent some time in the school’s student council publicity department. His words and actions are well-thought-out, making him sound reasonable and quite persuasive.

As soon as he finished speaking, the classmates stood up one after another, taking up their bottles to pour drinks and shouting loudly:

"Right, right, right! We really must thank Jiang Yu; we have to toast!"

"Jiang Yu truly worked hard today, cooking so many dishes all by himself, and the key thing is that they’re so delicious!"

"Jiang Yu has both academic and career success; he’s truly amazing! Now, all he lacks is a girlfriend!"

"What are you talking about? With his looks and skills, how could Jiang Yu be short of a girlfriend?"

"Come on, come on, Jiang Yu, let me toast to you! In the future, don’t forget about your classmates when you become successful!"

"Haha, what do you mean in the future? That’s a joke; Jiang Yu is successful already!"
