Jiangda No. 7 canteen, a small box on the first floor.

Xiong Yusheng picked up the teacup that was still a little hot and blew it, took a small sip of hot tea, and then sighed and said:

"Xiao Jiang, I came to you this time, I really have something to ask for."

"Teacher Xiong, we are already so acquainted, don't say such polite words, right?"

Jiang Yu had expected it, so naturally he would not show a surprised expression, he picked up the kettle and filled Xiong Yusheng's cup, and said with a smile,

"If you have something to say, don't ask for anything.

If this spreads, others will not be able to say it, I am a student with such a big shelf, and the teacher asks you to do something, and I have to beg you......

Won't my little reputation be ruined? ”

Xiong Yusheng didn't know that Jiang Yu deliberately said so playfully, just because he didn't want the atmosphere to be so solemn, so he didn't keep a tight face.

In fact, if you think about it, you don't have any skills, but students have the ability to help you solve problems, in this case, even if you pull down your face and ask for it, what's the matter?

Who made you incompetent?

If you have what it takes, then someone else should come and beg you!

Speaking of which, people, you still have to be strong.

If you want to rely on others, you have to lose something, either physically, or dignity.

Thinking about this, Xiong Yusheng was more or less calm, not as nervous as when he first came in before, he shook his head with a smile and said:

"You Xiao Jiang, when you used to speak, you were all serious, I thought you were like this, but I didn't expect it, it turns out that you will also joke.

You are not just a little famous, your reputation is not much worse than Liu Xining now! ”

"Teacher Xiong said that he was joking, he was joking, Senior Sister Liu is a big star, how can I compare?"

When Jiang Yu heard this, he waved his hand again and again, paused, as if he remembered something, he asked with a smile,

"Speaking of which, our school is going to hold a centennial celebration this year, will we invite Senior Sister Liu and them back then?"

"Liu Xining is our well-known alumnus, I must please, as for whether she has time to come back, that's another matter."

Speaking of this, Xiong Yusheng's heart suddenly moved, and he said,

"There are still a lot of well-known alumni in our school, if they all come back, I'm afraid it's a bit not enough for your eight boxes!"

Jiang University has a long history, although it has undergone several changes, but it is still standing, and it has been 100 years now, which is a very significant event for a university.

Therefore, as early as last year, Jiang University had already decided to hold a centennial celebration in October in the second half of this year, and began preparations as early as possible.

"Shouldn't the reception of alumni be a matter of the Taoyuan Hall? It doesn't have anything to do with my student cafeteria, right? ”

When Jiang Yu heard this, he didn't care, he picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took a sip of tea, smacked his lips, and changed the topic,

"By the way, Mr. Xiong, you haven't said what you want me to do!"

"Well, well, although this matter is not very easy to talk about, but since they are all here, then I can only be cheeky to talk to you."

Xiong Yusheng is still too thin-skinned, thinking about talking about other things first, and then finding a suitable opportunity to talk about his own affairs, so that even if Jiang Yu is embarrassed, he can take it back, so as not to embarrass both of them.

Who knew that Jiang Yu's temperament was so anxious, and before he could open the topic, he brought it up directly.

Xiong Yusheng saw that he couldn't hide, so he had to sigh secretly and continue to speak,

"That's the case, Vice Principal He plans to have more contact with the heads of several departments of the school, so he wants to have a party.

Because the environment of the No. 7 dining room here in our school is more suitable, so he asked me to ask if you can get out of the box here......

"That's it?"

Jiang Yu couldn't help but be stunned, and turned his head to look at Xiong Yusheng.

"That's it."

Seeing Jiang Yu's reaction so big, Xiong Yusheng's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly said,

"If it's really difficult, forget it.

I also know that the box in the No. 7 dining room is very tight, and others can't grab it, so I want you to come out of the box, it's really ......."

"No, Mr. Xiong, you misunderstood, I mean, it's just such a trivial matter, and it's worth your own trip? Why don't you give me a call? ”

Seeing Xiong Yusheng's rather nervous appearance, Jiang Yu quickly waved his hand to interrupt him, and said with some disgust,

"It's just a private room, I may have to consider whether to give it to me when others ask me, you can do it anytime if you want!"

There are a total of eight private rooms in Dining Room 7, why only four of them are reserved for each meal?

In addition to the reason for the lack of manpower and the busyness, another consideration is to leave a few empty boxes out in order to cope with the current situation.

After all, Jiang Yu is a restaurant on the campus of Jiang University, so it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no unexpected things happening.

For example, like now, if Jiang Yu really can't get the box, Xiong Yusheng will naturally not be able to do well, but the relationship between the two people may gradually deteriorate.

For the sake of a box, it chills people's hearts and hurts the relationship, which is naturally not what Jiang Yu wants to see.

Therefore, even if there are enough people in the seventh dining room in the future, he will definitely vacate one or two private rooms for each meal.

Booking out an extra box, the money earned will not make Jiang Yu a rich man, but an empty box can reserve space for Jiang Yu to advance and retreat.

In case of accidents, this box can be taken out at any time for emergency; If there is no accident, then he will not lose much, it is nothing more than making less money.

Jiang Yu, who has already paid off his foreign debts, still cares about this money?

Of course I don't care!

You see, isn't the current situation of Xiong Yusheng an unexpected thing?

"Xiao Jiang, you ......"

Hearing Jiang Yu's words, Xiong Yusheng was a little overwhelmed with excitement all of a sudden, and he said incoherently,

"I'm really, I really don't know what to say, thank you, thank you Xiaojiang!"

Originally, it seemed to him to be a very difficult thing, but he didn't expect it to be just a trivial matter in Jiang Yu's eyes!

Especially the sentence that Jiang Yu said later, "When others come to ask for a box, I have to consider whether to give it or not, and you can do it at any time if you want it", which moved Xiong Yusheng.

He really didn't expect that he still had such a heavy weight in Jiang Yu's heart!

You know, just such a box, now you can't even book a reservation, and the transfer fee for the box alone outside costs thousands of yuan, and those with a black heart dare to shout a high price of 10,000 yuan.

But even in such a tense situation in the box, Jiang Yu can still say things like "You can do it at any time if you want it", how can this not move him?

"Teacher Xiong, this is really not a problem."

Jiang Yu picked up the cup of hot tea in front of Xiong Yusheng and handed it to him, and he didn't hide it, and said with a smile,

"I can't lie to you, in fact, I only booked out four of these eight private rooms for each meal.

One is that there are not enough people on the second floor at present, and I am in charge of the kitchen alone, so I can't cope with so many diners.

The other is that I have been in school for so many years, and there are some teachers, classmates and friends, what if they need to come to me for a box one day? So, I have to leave a few of them behind in case of emergency.

However, if you have heard about this matter, Mr. Xiong, forget it, but don't say it outside, otherwise, there will be a lot of people who come to me to ask for a box, and I won't be able to cope with it! ”

"No, no, Xiao Jiang, don't worry, I will forget about this when I go out, and I will definitely not tell the second person."

Xiong Yusheng nodded again and again, and his heart was also shocked.

No wonder Niu Wenlin kept saying on the phone before, why didn't he even ask Jiang Yu, he felt that this box was going to be there? Jiang Yu is much smarter than you!

When he heard this before, he was still a little unimpressed, thinking that Niu Wenlin was too self-righteous, and the box outside was crazy, where else could Jiang Yu go to the box to get out?

At this time, he heard Jiang Yu say that only four of the eight boxes were booked, and most of the four left were used for emergencies, and he understood what Niu Wenlin meant in an instant.

It turns out that the clown has always been himself!

Niu Wenlin had actually thought a long time ago that even if Jiang Yu had enough manpower, he would not take out all the boxes to book, at least reserve a few in his own hands to deal with teachers, classmates, or relatives and friends.

As long as a person lives in the world, then he will not be just a single person, and there will always be various simple or complex social relations around him.

As a restaurant owner, if you don't even have a private room, do you look down on others, or look down on yourself?

Therefore, Niu Wenlin concluded that Jiang Yu must have a box in his hand, and as long as Xiong Yusheng came to the door and opened his mouth, there was no possibility of returning empty-handed.

"Alas, Lao Niu is right again, Jiang Yu is indeed much smarter than me."

Xiong Yusheng couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, why couldn't Lao Niu and Jiang Yu figure out the things they could figure out?

I can't even think of people's social relationships, so it's no wonder that I have been in the position of deputy director for so many years......

It's not a question of ability at all, it's a question of emotional intelligence!

Although he was about to get to the box, Xiong Yusheng felt more uncomfortable than not going to the box, which probably meant that he felt a sense of disparity after seeing himself.

Alas, the gap is too big!

"By the way, Mr. Xiong, I think it's better to do this."

Jiang Yu didn't know what he said, which made Xiong Yusheng's heart turn over for a while, he picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took another sip of tea, and continued,

"Haven't the reservations for the box on the second floor stopped during this time? When bookings reopen in a few days, I may have a few more boxes out for each meal, so that there won't be many empty boxes.

But on the school's side, isn't there a centennial celebration this year? Although there are still a few months to go to the school celebration, I can't guarantee who will come in the middle, and it is Mr. Xiong who is responsible for the work of contacting and receiving alumni.

Then it's just like this, I can reserve a box for the school alone, and if there is a reception need, Mr. Xiong can call me at any time. ”

"Ah......h

Jiang Yu's proposal made Xiong Yusheng couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and the teacup he was holding in his hand shook and almost fell to the ground.

This Jiang Yu is changing his tricks to "send" his political achievements!

I heard that the school also planned to arrange the reception of alumni in the No. 7 dining room, but before he could discuss this matter with Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu had already launched the box reservation system.

And now the No. 7 dining room is so popular in the outside world, countless people are paying attention to every move, and the school is also worried about the impact, so I have to put this matter down for the time being.

A few days ago, the director of the Office of Student Affairs was complaining to himself that this matter was not good, but he didn't expect Jiang Yu to take the initiative to hand over the box to himself......

As long as I go back and talk about it, who can deny my "credit"?

Xiong Yusheng hurriedly held the teacup steady, nodded again and again, and said gratefully,

"Xiao Jiang, this, this is really good, I have been worried about this, before the school celebration, there will definitely be many alumni who need to come back in advance, after all, some arrangements during the school celebration need to be communicated by both parties in advance, so as not to make mistakes when they go.

I was still worried that if those alumni came back, it would be more appropriate to arrange where to eat, and with your words, a big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. ”

"Teacher Xiong, if you thank you so much, I don't dare to sit with you and drink tea."

Jiang Yu turned his head and glanced at Xiong Yusheng helplessly, shook his head and said,

"If this is heard by people who don't know, I'm afraid I won't be able to take off the hat of 'deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors' on my head!

Who has ever seen a teacher say a few words to his students and thank them without stopping? This is not to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, what is it? ”

……

Jiang Yu was sitting on the sofa in the small box with Xiong Yusheng, chatting while drinking tea, and in the bustling section of Jiangxia City, Jingchu Province, in a large restaurant called "Xiangchu Flavor Building", two chefs, one fat and one thin, were also talking.

Moreover, the content of what they said had something to do with Jiangyu, who was hundreds of kilometers away!

"Senior Brother Qian, I heard that Jiang Yu in the seventh canteen of Jiangzhou University seems to have said that he does not accept the challenge......"

One of them, a tall and thin man who looked to be in his early thirties, was dressed in a white chef's suit and a white chef's hat on his head, and while sharpening his kitchen knife by the pool, he smiled and asked,

"If that's the case, isn't your previous plan going to be nullified?"

"Hehe, this surnamed Jiang is also clever, and when he sees that the situation is not good, he quickly uses not accepting challenges to avoid the limelight, but in my opinion, his approach is really naïve."

The chubby, bareheaded chef on the side was called Qian Yunfan, he was holding a carrot in his hand, and he said with a sneer while peeling the skin quickly,

"After all, I'm only in my twenties, and I'm so praised by others, I'm both proud and apprehensive in my heart, for fear that someone will pierce the cowhide.

Did he think it would be useful if he didn't accept the challenge? Not to mention other places, just here in Jiangxia, there are many chefs from big restaurants who want to meet him and have a good competition with him! ”

"Tsk, these people are really smart!"

The tall and thin chef is named Li Wenlong, and like Qian Yunfan, he is the chef of this Xiangchu flavor building, but compared to Qian Yunfan, his cooking skills are much worse.

After listening to Qian Yunfan's words, Li Wenlong straightened up and tried the freshly sharpened kitchen knife with his thumb, shook his head with a smile and said,

"Finally, there was a famous but unskilled Internet celebrity chef, everyone wanted to take this opportunity to step on him in front of everyone, so that the reputation that this Internet celebrity chef had accumulated before was not all cheapened?

No wonder so many people can't wait to go to Jiangzhou as soon as they hear about it, for fear of being preempted by other chefs! ”

"Can you blame someone else for stepping on him? If you want to blame him, you can only blame him for not having points in his heart! ”

Qian Yunfan peeled the carrot in his hand, put it under the faucet and rinsed it with water, then shook off the water, picked it up and put it in his mouth, bit down on a piece with a "snap", chewed it deliciously, he took the carrot without skin and swung it, and continued with a disdainful face,

"A table of 100,000 yuan, even if he dares to accept such a small level? In the entire culinary world, few people dare to sell such a high price! Who does he think he is?

Since he is so high-profile, don't blame others for using him as a stepping stone and stomping on him, this is a disaster caused by himself. ”

"Speaking of which, he's really miserable."

Li Wenlong sighed with regret, but there was a playful expression on his face,

"It's not easy for one person to make the whole circle shout and fight.

But I'm very curious, since he has made it clear that he won't accept the challenge, what are you going to do, Senior Brother Qian? ”

"Isn't it easy?"

Qian Yunfan turned his head and glanced at Li Wenlong, and said with a smile,

"Didn't Jiang Yu's No. 7 dining room make a private room reservation public before?" The chef of Fengyun Restaurant', He Dazhuang, didn't know what method to use, in short, he got a private room, and the time was tomorrow afternoon.

When the time comes, several well-known restaurants and restaurants in Jiangxia will gather more than a dozen people to go to Jiangzhou together, and then order a table of dishes, comment while shooting videos, refute the dishes he made from head to toe, and then post the videos on the Internet.

As soon as this video is released, it will inevitably cause a sensation, and at that time, Jiang Yu is difficult to ride a tiger, even if it is just to cover his reputation, he has to come out to deal with it, and when the time comes, we will propose to compete with him, and he can't agree if he wants to.

With 10 of our chefs working together to do this, it's hard not to make a splash. ”

"High, this trick is really high!"

Li Wenlong gave Qian Yunfan a thumbs up with admiration, and then said with regret on his face,

"It's a pity, I can't go to such an interesting thing, otherwise, I have to take a good look at how wonderful the expression on Jiang Yu's face is."

Qian Yunfan took another bite of the carrot, threw the remaining root into the trash can not far away, clapped his hands and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I'll send you a copy of the video when the time comes, it's not easy to watch a show?"

……

What happened here in Jiangxia, Jiang Yu, who was far away in Jiangzhou, naturally didn't know.

After drinking two bubbles of tea with Xiong Yusheng in the small box, and chatting for a while, Xiong Yusheng, who was already a little unable to sit still, said goodbye and left.

After getting the right to use the box, he was in a state of excitement at the moment, and he just wanted to go back as soon as possible to talk to Niu Wenlin about it and share his joy.

Sending Xiong Yusheng out of the cafeteria door, looking at the joy that he couldn't hide from the corner of his eyes, and the back of leaving in a hurry as soon as he got out of the door, Jiang Yu couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, this Teacher Xiong, he really can't hide his thoughts!

After sighing for a while, Jiang Yu turned around, ready to go back to the small box to rest for a while before going upstairs, there were still four diners in the box at night, he still had to go up early to prepare.

As soon as he came to the door of the small box, he saw Jia Dequan also walking out of the kitchen slowly with a thermos cup in his arms.

After seeing him, Jia Dequan grinned and said, "I was just about to go up to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come down by yourself." ”

Jiang Yu opened the door of the small box and let Jia Dequan go in first, and then followed him in.

After sitting down on the sofa, Jiang Yu glanced up at Jia Dequan and asked with some curiosity:

"I didn't see you come up at lunchtime, why do you want to go up now? What's the matter, are you looking for me? ”

"Hehe, it's not a big deal."

Jia Dequan unscrewed the thermos cup, blew it to his mouth, and took a sip of water, then smacked his lips and continued,

"Do you remember what I told you the day I first came back?"

Jiang Yu frowned, thought about it carefully, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to tell me that a chef is coming to challenge me?" ”

"It's not one or two chefs, it's a bunch!"

Jia Dequan seemed to be happy to see this, and he said with a smile,

"My apprentice knew I was here, so he called me to tell me.

He said that there is a chef in Jiangxia who doesn't know where to get a box on the second floor of our house, and the chefs of more than a dozen major restaurants and restaurants are gearing up, preparing to come to Jiangzhou in the next two days! ”

"Come on, come on, we don't have a gate in Dajiangzhou, can we still lock them out?"

Jiang Yu also took a sip of water and said with an indifferent look,

"As long as they book a private room, I will receive it, otherwise, then where to go back, I can't just eat and drink for nothing here."

A group of Jiangxia chefs booked a box in dining room No. 7 to eat?

Then come on!

As long as you're not planning to eat the "Overlord Meal", you can do whatever you want!

"Hehehe, I knew you were going to react like this."

Jia Dequan couldn't help laughing, he raised his finger and pointed at Jiang Yu, reminding,

"However, you also have to have a little snack, these chefs are prepared, they plan to be a diner first, pick and choose your dishes, and then try your cooking skills on the plate!"

Jiang Yu said: "Oh, then come on, I wish they could pick out the thorns, so that there is room for improvement in the dishes I make." ”

Since you dare to be a chef, don't be afraid that the dishes you cook will be picked and faulty.

Because sometimes, the tongue of the diners is the only criterion for whether the dish is good or not, and the diners are picky, so that the chef can continue to explore and improve in practice, and the cooking skills will become more and more exquisite.

Therefore, Jiang Yu was not worried at all, but was a little happy.

First of all, you have to have the ability to pick out the thorns!

You can't even pick out the thorns, what's the use of you jumping hard?

Moreover, if you can really pick out the thorns, then it is applauding, because only in this way can Jiang Yu continue to improve the dishes and make continuous progress, right?

No one is a god, even if it is a chef at a state banquet, the dishes made cannot be perfect, if you really want to pick thorns, you can always pick them out, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so.

What's more, what about Jiangyu, whose culinary skills have not yet reached the top level?

"It's quite surprising to me that you can think so, you know, even some chefs who have been famous for a long time only like to hear praise from others, and don't like others to find fault."

After listening to Jiang Yu's words, Jia Dequan was also stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile,

"But to be honest, at the level of this group of chefs from Jiang Xia, if they really eat the dishes you cooked, I'm afraid that they will all be stupid by then, how can they have any intention to pick your thorns?

If you want to pick thorns, they can't do it! ”
