"This is the No. 7 dining room, Xiao Jiang should still be busy cooking for everyone in the kitchen now."

Xiong Yusheng led Chen Lei and the others through the slightly crowded canteen hall on the first floor, and went up the stairs to the second floor, he turned his head to look at Chen Lei and the others, and explained with a smile,

"Let's not bother him for now, and when he's done, I'll have someone call him over."

"Okay, Teacher Xiong will arrange it."

People who are busy with work don't like to be disturbed.

Chen Lei is like this, and everyone else is the same, so everyone naturally has no opinion on Xiong Yusheng's arrangement.

When I went up to the second floor, I saw the hotel signboard hanging on the door, which was engraved with several big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing - "No. 7 Dining Room".

The cafeteria downstairs was bustling with people, and the smell of food wafted in the air; The restaurant upstairs was silent, except for the reception desk at the turn of the staircase, where a slightly immature waiter stood and greeted everyone with a smile on his face.

Here, it is like a paradise hidden in the downtown area, quiet and relaxed.

Chen Lei, Lin Yahui and others looked curiously at the restaurant hidden in the student cafeteria, and walked towards the box under the leadership of the waiter.

The more I know about Jiang Yu, the more curious I am about him.

Even with it, I am full of curiosity about everything related to river fishing.

This is not just Chen Lei's thoughts, whether it is Lin Yahui, Wang Dongkai, or those others, they are all very interested in this little junior brother who has only heard of his name and has not seen his face.

A young man in his 20s, a young man who is still in college, how did he get to where he is today?

As athletes, they know that talent alone is not enough to excel in anything.

Talent can only determine yours, and hard work can determine your end.

Around them, there are so many examples of awe-inspiring talent but unwilling to work hard, and in the end they are so many that they can't remember it anymore.

Therefore, whether it is Chen Lei or others, they all feel that Jiang Yu not only has a talent for cooking, but also a person who works extremely hard, otherwise, how could his cooking skills be so good that so many students have to rush to line up to eat the food he cooks?

There are even entrepreneurs who are willing to donate 2 million, just to let him renovate the restaurant and give people outside the school a chance to taste the dishes he makes!

The image of "not only talented but hard-working" is enough to make Chen Lei, Lin Yahui and others identify with Jiang Yu very much, and regard him as "the same kind".

Because, any one of them has relied on their unremitting efforts to achieve today's dazzling results.

The group came to the largest "chrysanthemum" box in the No. 7 dining room and sat down, and after the waiter went out with tea, Xiong Yusheng said with a smile:

"This restaurant has no hall, only private rooms, and they all need to be booked in advance to eat the food cooked by Xiao Jiang, and the reservation of this box is much more difficult to get than the concert tickets of big stars.

I've heard people say before that some foodies are willing to spend thousands of dollars just to "buy" the opportunity to dine with customers who have booked a private room."

"Is this so exaggerated?"

Wang Dongkai was the most shocked, after hearing Xiong Yusheng's words, he couldn't help but speak, and said with a surprised face,

"It doesn't seem so exaggerated to find scalpers to buy concert tickets, right, you have to spend so much money to come here for a meal?"

"You don't understand, this is not the money for eating, but spending money to buy a "qualification" to eat here, and you have to spend another money to eat!"

Lin Yahui glanced at Wang Dongkai, pursed his lips and said,

"We poor people don't have to figure out the thoughts of the rich, as long as the food here is delicious, is it still a question of how much money is spent?"

"Ugh...... That's what I said."

Wang Dongkai was Lin Ya

When Hui said this, he also felt that he was a little worried, he was slightly embarrassed to bend his fingers and scratch his nose, as if he remembered something, he turned his head and asked again,

"By the way, then let's eat here, has this box been booked in advance?"

"Xiao Jiang is your junior brother, the senior brothers and sisters have returned to school, and if they want to taste the food he cooked, do they still need to rush to book a box like ordinary people?"

Xiong Yusheng picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water, a comfortable smile rippled on his face, and he said jokingly,

"If you were going to do that, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?"

When Chen Lei and the others heard this, they couldn't help laughing, and the box was filled with happy air.

……

Xiong Yusheng, Chen Lei and others sat in the box chatting, but in the kitchen, which is not too far from the "chrysanthemum" box, it was a different scene.

Pei Guofu and his two elementary school apprentices were busy washing, chopping vegetables and side dishes, while Jiang Yu and Du Guangning were busy in front of the stoves, frying, frying, cooking, boiling, stewing, stewing, and stir-frying.

Today's cooking is divided into labor.

The dishes in the other four boxes were all pre-cooked by Du Guangning, Jiang Yu was only responsible for the final seasoning and checks, and the meals of Chen Lei and the others were cooked by Jiang Yu himself.

After all, the dishes on the table in the "chrysanthemum" box are different from those eaten by ordinary people.

In terms of taste, Jiang Yu tried his best to make the dishes on this table more clear, because greasy and spicy food is not suitable for athletes, and will have a certain impact on the body's ability to recover from fatigue, to put it bluntly, it is not conducive to fatigue recovery, and it will also cause a burden on the athletes' stomach.

It's just that it's not pre-game after all, and it's still permissible to taste some spicy food.

At this moment, what Jiang Yu is doing is a well-known traditional dish of Kung Pao Chicken, which is included in Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, and Guizhou cuisine, and its raw materials and methods are different.

The origin of this dish is actually related to the sauce fried chicken in Lu cuisine and Hu Lazi chicken in Guizhou cuisine, which was later improved and carried forward by Ding Baozhen, the governor of Ludong and the governor of Sichuan and Shu in the Qing Dynasty, forming a new dish of Kung Pao chicken.

After the Kung Pao Chicken spread, it was not only classified as a court dish in the capital, but also spread abroad, but the methods and tastes were very different.

There are actually differences in the various versions of the Kung Pao Chicken recipe.

For example, the Sichuan version of Kung Pao Chicken uses chicken breast, because the chicken breast is not easy to taste, the fried chicken will not be tender enough, so before the flavor is starched, you need to pat the chicken with the back of a knife a few times, or put in an egg white, so that the chicken can be more tender.

The Lu version of Kung Pao chicken is more made of chicken thighs, and in order to increase the taste of the finished dish, diced bamboo shoots or water chestnuts are often added, and more attention is paid to stir-frying on a rapid fire to retain the freshness and tenderness of the chicken.

As for the Guizhou version of Kung Pao Chicken, it is a local unique chili pepper, which is different from the Sichuan and Lu versions of Kung Pao Chicken in terms of taste, salty and spicy, slightly sweet and sour.

The Beijing court dish version of Kung Pao Chicken is somewhat similar to the Lu dish version, except that the dish is not diced water chestnuts, but diced cucumber or carrot, and the taste is sweet and spicy, sweet and spicy, sweet and spicy.

However, Jiang Yu's Kung Pao Chicken is different from the practices of major cuisines, and in the choice of ingredients, it is similar to the palace cuisine version of Kung Pao Chicken, not only with diced chicken and peanuts, but also with diced cucumbers and carrots.

After removing more than 40 kinds of commonly used kitchen seasonings such as peppercorns and bay leaves, which are forbidden for athletes, it is actually very difficult to choose the seasoning when cooking.

If you can't use so many seasonings, how can you make a delicious dish?

This makes other chefs scratch their scalps, but it is difficult for Jiang Yu.

If you can't use it, you don't need it, even if you don't use the spices such as peppercorns and bay leaves, he does it

The dishes that come out can make people can't stop eating!

Just like this Kung Pao Chicken, when Jiang Yu made this dish, he absorbed some of the practices of major cuisines, and used the sauce produced by the system to blend into a new version of Kung Pao Chicken.

This Kung Pao chicken is tender and juicy, the peanuts are crispy and delicious, the diced carrots are slightly sweet and refreshing, and the cucumbers are fragrant and delicious.

Compared with the traditional Kung Pao chicken, it has less sour and hemp flavors, but it is more prominent in freshness and fragrance, sweet and spicy, and spicy and sweet.

And this sweetness does not come from white sugar or rock sugar, but the sweetness of carrots, which makes the taste of this dish more fragrant.

Just as Jiang Yu was putting the just-made Jiang's version of Kung Pao Chicken out of the pot and putting it on the plate, a waiter walked in from outside and said to Jiang Yu:

"Senior brother, the guests in the box with the name "Chrysanthemum" are here."

"Oh, are you coming?"

Jiang Yu glanced back at her, then nodded and ordered,

"Then let's serve the food, and by the way, bring two homemade drinks from our restaurant."

For example, now that it is early summer and the temperature is beginning to rise, Jiang Yu prepares kiwi cucumber juice and freshly squeezed papaya milk juice.

These two drinks are room temperature drinks, which are fragrant and refreshing, not only rich in nutrients, but also can clear away heat and promote digestion.

"Okay."

The waiter nodded, and hurriedly turned around.

……

In the "chrysanthemum" box, Chen Lei and others sat around the dining table drinking tea and chatting.

In fact, they don't have many opportunities to get together and chat like today, so everyone is very happy, and the atmosphere is relaxed and harmonious.

"Kobayashi, since you injured your right Achilles tendon last year, it seems that your results in various competitions for more than a year have not been very good."

Although Chen Lei has retired, she is still engaged in sports-related work after all, so she still pays attention to track and field competitions at home and abroad, not to mention that Lin Yahui is still her junior brother.

She picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water, turned her head to look at Lin Yahui, and asked with concern,

"What the hell is going on? Is it that you haven't recovered well, or that the intensity of your training hasn't been raised yet?"

"The recovery is good, and the training intensity has also increased, but I don't know why, the results still can't go up."

This matter obviously became a pimple in Lin Yahui's heart, and when he heard Chen Lei ask at this moment, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and said,

[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]

The waiter outside the door was already ready to serve the food, Chen Lei took a deep breath, turned back and looked at Lin Yahui again, and said with a smile:

"Let's talk about your affairs later, everyone should be hungry, let's taste what the dishes made by Senior Brother Xiao Jiang taste like first."

"Sister Chen is right, it's more important to eat first!"

Wang Dongkai also squeezed his eyes at Lin Yahui, and said with a smile,

"There's nothing that can't be solved with one meal, and if there is, it's two!"

Listening to Wang Dongkai's words, not only Chen Lei and Lin Yahui, but also everyone else laughed together, and everyone echoed it:

"Xiao Kai is reasonable, Brother Hui should be optimistic, there are four seasons and distant places in this world, as well as food and ideals!"

"That's right! We've been looking forward to it for so long, aren't we just waiting to taste Senior Brother Xiaojiang's craftsmanship?"

"Haha! I haven't eaten since yesterday morning for this meal, and I'm going to have to eat a little more in a while, so don't take any of you from me!"

「……」

A table of people giggled and laughed as they watched the waiter put delicate dishes on the table.

A burst of tangy aroma filled the entire box in an instant, making everyone unable to take their eyes off, and the sound of swallowing saliva and the "cooing" of the stomach came and went, making the atmosphere in the box embarrassing all of a sudden.

"Although I work in the school, I rarely have the opportunity to eat the food cooked by Xiao Jiang, but today I am blessed by everyone, I can taste it again, you look at me, this saliva is almost out of hunger, haha!"

At this time, it was time for Xiong Yusheng to play a role, he picked up the homemade juice brought by the waiter and poured it for everyone, while saying with a smile,

"These are all homemade juices in Xiao Jiang's restaurant, they are definitely green organic food, and this is also what Xiao Jiang personally asked the waiter to bring to you to taste, come on, everyone is welcome, moisten your throat first, appetizing!"

As he spoke, he picked up the cup on the table and touched it with Chen Lei and the others, and took a big sip.

Seeing this, the others also took a big sip of juice.

"From a business point of view, when you come back to your alma mater this time to visit and exchange, you are guests; Privately, we're all brothers and sisters from the same school, so we're not outsiders."

After everyone sat down again, Xiong Yusheng said with a smile,

"The polite words that should be said, the leaders have already said a lot in the afternoon, so I won't say it, everyone is hungry after a busy day, let's hurry up! Come, come, eat!"

"Teacher Xiong, I just like your straightforwardness!"

Wang Dongkai shouted, picked up the fast seed and stretched it out to the plate in front of him, picked up a quick pear and fried bacon and stuffed it into his mouth.

As soon as this dish entered his mouth, his two eyes seemed to glow, shining, he couldn't hold back any longer, and cried out in surprise,

"Wow! Brother Xiaojiang's craftsmanship is amazing! This fried bacon with pear artemisia is really delicious, even better than the chefs made at last year's track and field championships!"

Although only a few of these people here are Jiangzhou locals, they have all studied in Jiangzhou for four years, and they have long fallen in love with the famous dish of Jiangzhou, fried bacon with pear artemisia.

After graduating and leaving Jiangzhou, they rarely can taste this delicacy, and when they heard Wang Dongkai say this, the unique taste of the fragrance of pear artemisia and the salty aroma of bacon hidden in the depths of their memories came alive in an instant, which made their mouths secrete saliva instantly.

So, these people didn't even think about it, they turned the direction of the fast ones that stretched out elsewhere, and one of them sandwiched a large amount of fried bacon with pear artemisia, put it in his bowl and tasted it carefully.

"Hmm, it's still the familiar smell, woo woo, it's really fragrant!"

"Hey! Eating this bite of fried bacon with pear and artemisia reminds me of the girl in the class when I was studying, but unfortunately, I don't have the courage to ......blame it."

"Brother Tao, that's what you said

I know, girl, isn't it the one who practices shot put?"

「…… Get out!"

「……」

A dish of fried bacon with pear artemisia, the long-lost taste and familiar aroma made this group of alumni feel nostalgic, and the atmosphere gradually became warm.

"Don't just eat fried bacon with pear artemisia, now that I'm back in Jiangzhou, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this dish?"

Xiong Yusheng saw that everyone was grabbing the plate of fried bacon with pear artemisia, and all the fast ones were stretched fast, he couldn't help laughing, and he said loudly,

"Try other dishes, this chopped pepper fish head, kung pao chicken or something, the taste is no worse than fried bacon with pear artemisia!"

"That's it! Mr. Xiong said it is too reasonable, this chopped pepper fish head is the top brand in our Hunan cuisine, and it can't be compared to fried bacon with pear artemisia?"

Chen Lei's interest today is also very high, especially when she sees so many junior brothers and sisters who are also engaged in sports-related work, not to mention how happy she is, she echoed with a smile,

"I can tell you, if you don't hurry up, you won't have a chance to taste it later!"

"Really?"

Wang Dongkai turned his head to look at Chen Lei, and said with a smile, "If Sister Chen says that, then I have to taste it!"

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of meat from the fish's face and put it in his mouth.

As soon as the fish meat entered his mouth, Wang Dongkai was stunned for a moment, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, he didn't say a word, stretched out his fast son and directly sandwiched half of the fish face and put it into his bowl, and began to eat it.

Wang Dongkai's movements are so big, everyone present is a human spirit, how can he not see it?

This kid has always been a master who likes to make a fortune in a muffled voice, and now he has a small half bowl of fish meat without saying a word.

So, one counts as one, and everyone didn't go to grab the fried bacon with pear artemisia that was already left, and they all held up the fast and sandwiched the chopped pepper fish head on the big plate.

Not only them, but even Chen Lei couldn't help it, she believed that the dishes made by Xiao Jiang must be delicious, and chopping pepper fish heads would be no exception, but she didn't expect that after Wang Dongkai took a bite, he would actually bury his head in eating without saying a word!

Does this need to be asked? It must be Wang Dongkai who is afraid that others will come to rob him again!

can make Wang Dongkai like this, so how delicious is this chopped pepper fish head?

Thinking of this, she also quickly picked up the fast child and stretched it towards the plate with chopped pepper fish head.

"Hold the grass! This fish is so slippery, I don't even feel like I have time to chew it, it's it, it's slipping into my stomach!"

"Wow! The first time I have eaten such a fresh chopped pepper fish head, the spicy taste is secondary, the key is freshness, so fresh that the pores of my body are about to open!"

"Ah! Come and try this fried lamb with green onions, this lamb is not at all different from what we used to eat, not only is it not firewood, but it is also tender and juicy, and there is no smell at all!"

"Woo woo, these dishes are so delicious, the chefs of our national team can't make them so delicious!"

「……」

Except for Chen Lei and a few others, the other alumni are actually quite old, and they are relatively lively.

It is precisely because of this that when this group of people sit together to eat, it always seems to be very lively.

Especially today, after they finished "grabbing" fried bacon with pear artemisia, they began to "grab" chopping pepper fish heads, and then "grabbed" scallion fried mutton...... They seem to have endless energy to "grab" one dish after another.

It's as if the dishes you rush to eat will really taste better.

Even Chen Lei and several of their older brothers and sisters also seemed to be infected by this emotion, and they joined the "food grabbing" battle group one after another.

The whole box was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"Everyone eat slowly, don't worry, there are still dishes to be served later."

Seeing this group of alumni flushed and their eyes shining, they couldn't care about their own image at all, and Xiong Yusheng couldn't help it

He laughed happily, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Fortunately, I tasted every dish when everyone was grabbing fried bacon with pear artemisia, and now I have a little bottom in my stomach, otherwise, how can I be embarrassed to grab food with these alumni?

He took a sip of juice, picked up the fast son and stretched out to the kung pao chicken in front of him, slowly picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, squinting his eyes and slowly savoring it:

are saying that only love and food in this world cannot be disappointed.

Love is all about talking slowly, and of course you have to taste food slowly.

How can they taste the wonderful taste of these dishes by grabbing food and gobbling it up like this!
