"Did you hear that? This sour plum soup, but Senior Brother Jiang boiled it himself, no wonder it is so delicious! ”

"You are talking nonsense, every time a new product comes out of the Seven Canteens, it is made by Senior Brother Jiang, otherwise it can be so delicious?"

"Senior Brother Jiang is really caring, knowing that the weather in Jiangzhou is hot and the hot day is the head, so he boils sour plum soup to clear away the heat and relieve the heat, strengthen the spleen and appetize, woo woo woo, I love him to death!"

“……”

This lunch made many Jiang University students excited, and even ate a lot more for lunch, and originally made enough dishes in the kitchen, but in the end it was not enough to sell, so that Jiang Yu had to quickly fry a few more dishes.

Of course, Jiang Yu spent two or three hours boiling two large pots of sour plum soup last night, he thought it would be enough for the students to drink for a day, but who knew that a lunch time would be gone.

"Boss, what then?"

Lu Shuwu gloated a little, looking at the empty buckets, he couldn't help but snicker,

"Anyway, we're all busy now, and it's still very early until dinner, why don't we cook a few more pots?"

"Xiao Jiang, you don't know enough about your cooking skills!"

Jia Dequan held a cup of hot tea, sat on the chair and said with a smile,

"Whatever you do, it's so delicious, do you think you can put them out there and others won't grab them?"

"Uh......"

Jiang Yu thought for a while, and then said,

"Otherwise, the sour plum soup will not be put outside, just put it at the window, and then arrange someone to help with it, and distribute it according to the capitation, one cup per person."

After a pause, he added,

In this way, there will be no scene where everyone huddles up at noon to grab sour plum soup.

It was a mess at noon, but luckily it was stopped in time, otherwise I was really worried that someone would get hurt. ”

Lu Shuwu also nodded and said:

"One cup for one person is very good, everyone can taste it, and it won't hurt the stomach if you drink too much."

"That's okay, Xiao Wu, you go and soak some hawthorn and black plum in warm water first, and let's continue to boil a few pots of sour plum soup for a while."

Thinking of the solution, Jiang Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to Lu Shuwu and gave an order, and said to Yan Tongtong with a smile,

"Okay, it's almost time, let's bring someone out the food, we can have lunch too."

"Oh, okay."

Yan Tongtong answered, and quickly turned around and went to work.

……

During this period of time, the students of Jiang University have indeed lived happily.

Although the summer in Jiangzhou is very hot, the iced sour plum soup prepared by the Seven Canteens for everyone, as well as a new cold dish every day, are enough to whisk away the heat in everyone's hearts.

Although the free iced sour plum soup with each meal could not satisfy the students' cravings, it was always a little comforting and gave everyone an extra look forward to in their busy studies.

In this anticipation of the delicious sour plum soup, time passed quietly little by little, and in a blink of an eye, the day of the graduation thesis defense of the senior students was approaching.

During this period of time, there seemed to be more people on campus all of a sudden, and even a few print shops that were crowded on weekdays suddenly became busy, and printers seemed to have found the meaning of existence, and they were working non-stop all day long.

Fortunately, the air conditioner in the small shop is sufficient, otherwise, I am really worried that it will suddenly "strike" in this hot weather because of the long "overtime" work.

"In the last few days, there seem to be more people in the cafeteria."

In the kitchen on the first floor of the seventh canteen, Lu Shuwu scratched his head and said to Jiang Yu,

"Boss, do you know what's going on?"

"Fourth-year students, this time has begun to defend their dissertation, and the time varies from department to department, but most of them are concentrated in this half month."

Jiang Yu glanced at him and said,

"In the first half of the year, many senior students interned and looked for jobs, but they were basically not in school, and they basically came back during this time."

"Oh, it's been a few years since I graduated, and I forgot that it was graduation season."

When Lu Shuwu heard this, he suddenly realized that he thought that the management of the school gate had been relaxed again.

If this really brought in a large number of people from outside the school, the staff of the Seven Canteen would have to be tired like dogs every day like the previous time.

It doesn't matter if the seniors come back, because as soon as the dissertation defense is over, these people leave quickly.

After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, and said,

"Then boss, aren't you going to defend your dissertation as well? What day is yours? ”

Jiang Yu said: "The morning after tomorrow." ”

"Oh, the boss must have passed it at one time, and he will go to graduate school in the second half of the year."

Lu Shuwu said with a smile,

"By the way, boss, when you pass the defense, do we have to celebrate?"

Jiang Yu didn't refuse, glanced at him and said, "I'll talk about it when the defense is passed." ”

"Eh, Lao Jiang! The people in our class seem to be almost back. ”

Hu Zhihai had just eaten a full meal, and he hadn't had time to go to the library at this time, when he saw Jiang Yu coming down, he also came over and asked,

"What did you say about what I said last time?"

Jiang Yu glanced at him and asked inexplicably:

"When was the last time? Also, what did you say? ”

"What kind of memory do you ......?"

Hu Zhihai looked at Jiang Yu speechlessly for a while, and then said,

"It's the last time you asked me to help you find a few anorexia patients, I said that when our defense is over, let's sit down and have a meal together in the dormitory."

"Oh, that's what I said."

Jiang Yu thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's meet the day after tomorrow, and then talk to the two of them to see what they mean." ”

After a pause, he added, "I'm fine, it's up to them to have time." ”

Hu Zhihai muttered in a low voice: "Why don't you just have a meal, how long can it take?" ”

"Okay, what else can I know about you?"

Jiang Yu raised his hand and patted Hu Zhihai's shoulder, pouted and said,

"The party is fake, you're just hungry and want to go up to the second floor for a good meal!"

There are four people in Jiang Yu's dormitory, in addition to Jiang Yu and Hu Zhihai, the remaining two classmates went out to rent a room as early as last summer, one is preparing for the public examination, and the other is reviewing for the postgraduate examination.

In this dormitory, Jiang Yu is only close to Hu Zhihai, and the other two can only be regarded as classmates, and they can usually chat and eat together, and there is no big contradiction, but they just don't have a deep friendship.

For example, Jiang Yu has been running the "Jiang's Soup Dumpling Shop" in the second canteen last year until now he is running the seven canteens, and even if the other two students are busy reviewing, it is impossible not to know, but they have not come to Jiang Yu once.

Now that a year has passed, Jiang Yu and Hu Zhihai naturally don't know whether they have been admitted to graduate school and civil servants.

It can also be seen from here that the relationship between the dormitories is not very good.

Regarding this dormitory relationship, Hu Zhihai also said that the dormitory roommates should get together......

If Jiang Yu can believe him, then there will be ghosts!

Hu Zhihai, who was exposed, did not blush at all, and he said eloquently:

"You can't say that, let's sleep together for four years, that's fate!

It's the same as boyfriend and girlfriend, even if you break up, you have to get together and disperse, and it's not too much to have a 'casual meal', right? ”

As he spoke, he also turned his head and asked Lu Shuwu,

"Xiao Wu, tell me, boyfriend and girlfriend broke up, is it too much to eat 'loose meals'?"

After speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Lu Shuwu, and squeezed his eyebrows vigorously.

“……”

Lu Shuwu looked at Jiang Yu, then at Hu Zhihai, and then pouted and said,

"What the hell do you think about a single dog when you ask me about this?"

“……”

Hu Zhihai looked confused, shook his head with a little hatred, sighed and said,

"It's a lot of old people, do you still think that you are honored to be single?

Alas! This is really the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient! ”

Lu Shuwu: "??? ”

“……”

Jiang Yu couldn't help but glance at him again, and said disgustedly,

"Alright, hurry back to your library to review, you might as well go back and memorize a few more words when you have time to grind with us here!"

"Okay, okay! Then I'm leaving! ”

Seeing this, Hu Zhihai did not delay, put his backpack on his shoulder, and said as he walked out,

"Let's talk about the party first, and I'll ask the two of them when the time comes."

……

In the dining area of the second canteen, the lights are bright, and the aroma of various foods fills the air.

Although it was time for dinner, there were not many people eating in the cafeteria hall, and dozens of students were sitting on the densely packed seats, playing with their mobile phones while eating casually.

I still remember that a year ago, when the "Jiang's Soup Dumpling" shop was still in business, the second canteen used to be overcrowded as soon as the meal arrived, and the lively scene of crowds and rubbing shoulders was no less than the vegetable market at three or four o'clock in the morning.

At that time, it was the most glorious and beautiful time in the second canteen, and even the employees in the small stalls that specialized in fried rice were "complaining" that there were too many people and they were too tired.

But when the Seven Canteens opened for business and the "Jiang's Soup Dumpling" shop withdrew, the crowds that were once surging seemed to be yesterday's yellow flowers, or a sweet dream, just a blink of an eye, and everything was revealed in its original form.

The prosperity is someone else's, and the excitement is someone else's.

Leng Qing is the truth of the second canteen, and the other canteens except the seventh canteen.

In a corner of the dining area of the second canteen, Wang Xueyi and He Tao were sitting opposite each other, chatting while eating quickly.

The two of them are Jiang Yu and Hu Zhihai's roommates.

As early as last summer, Wang Xueyi and He Tao moved out of the dormitory and rented a house outside.

Wang Xueyi plans to devote himself to reviewing and preparing to be admitted to the graduate school of the Department of Philosophy of Beijing University and continue his studies.

There are not many philosophy majors in China, there are only more than 70 undergraduate philosophy departments, and the philosophy department of Jingcheng University ranks first in the disciplines of various universities.

Comparatively speaking, the Department of Philosophy at Jiang University is ranked much lower, only in the median.

Wang Xueyi's academic performance on weekdays is not bad, and he is quite ambitious, since he has decided to take the postgraduate examination, of course he has to go to a better university.

It is precisely because of this that at the beginning of the summer vacation last year, he moved out to live in a rented house, in order to have a quiet and comfortable environment for postgraduate examination.

However, Wang Xueyi still underestimated the fierce competition for admission to the Department of Philosophy of Beijing University, and he worked hard for more than half a year, although he successfully passed the preliminary examination, but in the end he was eliminated by better people in the re-examination stage.

And another classmate, He Tao, after Wang Xueyi rented out, he also moved out of the dormitory and began to prepare for the public examination.

Both of them are highly motivated, full of expectations for the future, with similar personalities and similar temperaments, which naturally makes Wang Xueyi and He Tao very close.

As for Hu Zhihai and Jiang Yu in the dormitory......

Truth be told, they don't look down on them.

Although Hu Zhihai has money in his family, he is cynical, hangs all day long, skips class and plays games, what is the benefit of such a person, no matter how rich he is?

And Jiang Yu, it is said that there is only one grandmother left in the family, and he still owes a lot of foreign debts, and even tuition and living expenses can only be earned by relying on work-study and small jobs, and whether he can find a job after graduation is still a question.

However, although Wang Xueyi and He Tao don't look down on the two of them, the superficial relationship is still maintained well, after all, there is no contradiction between several people, and they can communicate and interact normally on weekdays.

But both can be sure that once they graduate and go their separate ways, the two sides will never have anything to do with each other again.

After all, the Tao is different, and they don't conspire with each other!

While the two of them were eating, He Tao suddenly raised his head, glanced at Wang Xueyi, and said:

"Eh, Lao Wang, I forgot to ask you, you don't seem to be looking for a job now, right? So what exactly are you going to do? ”

"I didn't look for it, we majored, I couldn't find any good jobs when I came out of the undergraduate, and I might as well not do it if I went to an enterprise or institution to do an administrative mess."

Wang Xueyi shook his head, picked a quick amount of rice and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, shook his head and said,

"I still want to take the Beijing University exam for another year, and I am so unwilling to be brushed off this time in the re-examination!"

"There's nothing wrong with taking the exam for another year, it's just a waste of a year."

He Tao also shook his head, sighed, and said,

"I'm just a little strange, you were brushed off by the re-examination of Beijing University, you should still be able to adjust, right? Why didn't you try to transfer to other universities? ”

"What kind of good school can be a place with a transfer quota? I'd rather lack my mother, and I want to go to graduate school to study the best, or I won't read. ”

Wang Xueyi glanced at him, pursed his lips and said,

"Alright, don't just talk about me! I heard that your family has arranged for you to work as a reporter at a local TV station? ”

"Hey, what can a county-level TV station mean?"

He Tao sighed and threw away the fast rice in his hand, and he was too lazy to eat the remaining half of the fried rice, and the fried rice in the second canteen was as unpalatable as ever.

He raised his head and glanced at Wang Xueyi, smiled and said,

"I can't help it now, I've been reviewing for more than half a year, and I can't even pass the written exam for the civil service, and it's still a long way off.

My family entrusted me to work as a contract worker at the county TV station, and in the future, take your time. ”

Wang Xueyi frowned: "You just gave up like that?" ”

"Give up? What to give up? ”

He Tao leaned back and said with a smile,

"Even if I work, I can still continue to take the public examination editor, of course, whether I can persist in reviewing depends on my own self-control."

As he spoke, He Tao suddenly changed the topic, and he said mysteriously,

"Eh, Lao Wang, have you heard? It is said that Jiang Yu's kid is also researched! ”

"Jiang Yu is also researching?"

As soon as the fast son in Wang Xueyi's hand stopped, his brows suddenly wrinkled into a chrysanthemum,

"Where did you hear that? How come I don't know at all? By the way, which school did he go to? ”

"The main school of Baoyan."

He Tao breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, and said,

It is said that he was not on the initial exemption list, and it was only after the school leaders made a statement that he passed the research institute.

I heard about this from the squad leader. ”

Wang Xueyi "gurgled" in his throat, his face became extremely complicated, and he still seemed to be in disbelief, and said with a blue face:

"Lao Tzu's grades are better than him, but he didn't succeed in the graduate school, and finally worked hard to review for more than half a year, but he didn't get in!

He often skips classes and runs to work part-time, just for the role of three taels of silver, and he actually went to graduate school?

Why?! ”

"Hehe, what else? Isn't it because his seven canteens are well opened, and everyone knows them on the Internet. ”

He Tao wasn't so angry, anyway, he never thought about going to graduate school from beginning to end, he took a big sip of the cold drink that was put aside, smacked his lips and said with a smile,

"Hey, what's it called? This is called the same person has no life, and the same umbrella has different handles! ”

After a pause, he seemed to remember something again, and asked with a puzzled expression,

"By the way, Lao Wang, have you eaten the food in the Jiangyu canteen?

How do I hear people everywhere that this kid's food is delicious? We've been in the same dormitory with him for four years, and I've never heard of him before! ”

"Nope!"

Wang Xueyi glanced at He Tao, shook his head and said,

"I was busy reviewing for most of the last year, unless I wanted to check the information before I went back to school, and I usually ate at the restaurant downstairs in the community, or I ordered a takeout to deliver it, who has time to run so far to come to the canteen for a meal?

Why, have you tasted it? ”

"I don't believe that kid can make anything delicious, his little cooking skills, eighty percent of them were stolen by the chef in the restaurant."

He Tao pursed his lips and said with a disdainful expression,

"I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup he poured into those students, so that many people in the Seven Canteens are waiting in line to eat every day, it's really crazy!"

Wang Xueyi thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's not for sure, maybe people really have some adventures!" ”

"Was it taken away by the ancient imperial kitchen? Or is the ghost kitchen possessed? ”

He Tao also laughed, and he quipped,

"If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have become so powerful all of a sudden!"

The two of them ridiculed Jiang Yu from time to time in their words, as if only in this way could they relieve the jealousy and dissatisfaction in their hearts a little......

Of course, they are also smart people, and this kind of thing will only be said by two people in private, and naturally they will not say it in front of other people.

Anyway, they've done it before.

……

On Saturday, June 15, 2019, the weather was fine.

It was an ordinary day, no different from yesterday or the day before yesterday.

However, today's School of Humanities of Jiang University is extremely lively.

At about seven o'clock in the morning, the young teachers in the office of the Faculty of Humanities rushed over early and began to set up the conference room.

Not long after, the students of the three and three began to rush here, and the expressions on the faces of these people were different, some were excited and excited, some were nervous, and some were calm and calm.

There are three departments in the Faculty of Humanities, and today is the day for the graduates of the Department of Philosophy to defend their dissertations, while the Department of History and the Department of Chinese Language and Literature are scheduled to defend their dissertations later.

The graduation thesis defense will not start until half past eight, and after the students arrived at the college, they did not rush upstairs, and some students who had a good relationship on weekdays gathered in one place, chatting happily about the anecdotes of their internships or their future destinations.

After graduation, they are unemployed, and some people are happy and some people are worried.

Chatting and chatting, everyone inevitably mentioned a classmate who is not very conspicuous in the class on weekdays, and that is naturally Jiang Yu.

"You've all heard, haven't you? The seven canteens in the school were opened by Jiang Yu in our class, and they are now famous on the Internet! ”

"It's not, I really didn't expect that I was like an invisible person in the class at the beginning, and before I graduated, I quietly made such a big move, which was terrifying! At first, I thought it was the same name and surname! ”

"That's it! Last time, the Seven Canteen also held a 'fan welfare' activity, saying that it was the peach blossom mille-feuille shortbread made by Jiang Yu himself, and I originally wanted to buy a box to try the craftsmanship of my old classmates, hey, who would have thought that in less than a second, 100 boxes of shortbread would be robbed! ”

"Eh! By the way, the food in the Seven Canteens is touted on the Internet as if it is a dragon liver and phoenix gall in the sky, and you can never forget it after eating a bite, and no one of you in school has ever tasted it? ”

"I've really tasted the soup dumplings made by Jiang Yu, to be honest, it's really delicious, I haven't eaten this before, I don't know what other soup dumplings taste, anyway, it's delicious!"

"Wow! According to what you say, what you say on the Internet is not some kind of bragging? Then when Jiang Yu comes, we have to let him invite us to a meal, so that he can't even give up a meal, right? ”

"Hehe, do you know how much Jiang Yu's meal costs and you dare to speak? It is said that a table of banquets he made was sold for as much as 100,000 yuan! ”

"Shhh Really? Then I don't dare to say it, I can't afford to eat! ”

"Afraid of what? You're so beautiful, you can't afford to pay for food, it's a big deal! ”

"Hahaha......"

A group of girls suddenly let out a happy laugh, and the girl who was ridiculed rolled her eyes and took a sip:

"your ......"
