Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 352 - 242: The Squirrel Mandarin Fish That “Squeaks” (Part 3)

It’s just that this squirrel fish looks like it’s missing something, doesn’t it?

Just as everyone was puzzled and wondering, suddenly they saw another person entering from outside. This person was wearing a white chef’s uniform, with a chef’s hat on their head, holding a steaming pot in one hand and a spoon in the other.

No need to guess, it was naturally Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu gave everyone a slight smile, didn’t say a word, walked a few steps to the dining table, tilted the pot slightly above the plate of squirrel fish, and the brightly colored, red, hot broth poured from the pot, directly onto the fish on the plate.

The guests at the table hadn’t reacted yet when they heard the fish on the plate suddenly making a "squeak, squeak, squeak" sound, which incredibly resembled the sound of a squirrel!

At this point, everyone, whether male or female, was dumbfounded!

Not everyone at the table had eaten squirrel fish before, so they naturally didn’t know that this dish not only looks like a squirrel in appearance but also "squeaks" like a squirrel.

Hearing this "squirrel squeak" at the table, who wouldn’t be surprised?

At this moment, Jiang Yu had already poured all the broth from the pot onto the fish, then sprinkled pine nuts and fruit pieces from the spoon. He finally glanced at everyone sitting at the table, smiled, and said:

"The squirrel fish is ready, please enjoy!"

After saying this, he turned around and left the private room with the pot and spoon.

Yan Tongtong saw this and quickly followed him out. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

This little girl, at this moment, her big eyes were sparkling with stars. She had never seen the squirrel fish before and was puzzled why it seemed fried and lacked any sauce.

Who would have thought that the sauce was to be poured only when the dish reached the table, and that pouring it on the fish would make it "squeak"!

It’s truly amazing!

Senior Brother Jiang is indeed the best! Truly incredible!

In the "Autumn" room, the guests only snapped out of it when Jiang Yu and Yan Tongtong had both left, and started discussing animatedly:

"It’s so amazing! I thought it was an exaggeration when they said online that the squirrel fish ’squeaks’ when sauce is poured on it, but it turned out to be true. I was stunned just now!"

"This Master Xiao Jiang is indeed worthy of his reputation. I heard this dish is only handled with pouring sauce after being served by true master chefs. Regular chefs would pour the sauce in the kitchen before serving it."

"Of course, think about it, which dish made by Master Xiao Jiang isn’t delicious? If he didn’t have some skills, would it be so hard to book a private room at room number seven?"

"Oh, I was dumbfounded! If only I had taken out my phone and recorded the moment when Master Xiao Jiang poured the sauce, how great would that be? If I uploaded it online, it would definitely go viral!"

"Ah, it’s too late to regret it now! I think we should quickly start eating; this squirrel fish looks absolutely delicious!"

"Eat, eat! Everyone dig in!"

"..."

After chatting for a bit, looking at the brightly colored, uniquely shaped squirrel fish in front of them, accompanied by rich sauce and emitting alluring sweet and sour aromas, everyone couldn’t resist and picked up their chopsticks to start eating.

"Mmm! The fish is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, fresh and tasty, paired with this sweet and sour sauce, it’s truly amazing!"

"Delicious, delicious! I’ve never really liked sweet dishes, but this squirrel fish truly changed my perception. It’s absolutely delicious!"

"This squirrel fish is indeed extraordinary, perfectly fried, crispy and tender in your mouth, both sweet and sour, flavorful and delicious, once you take a bite you can’t stop!"

"Hey, don’t grab, don’t grab! I’ve only just had one bite! Darn it!"

"..."

...

The private room at room number seven was bustling with activity, guests were sitting around the table, enjoying the food and laughing continuously.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lin Yahu and Wang Dongkai had already finished their dinner and were leisurely chatting and strolling on the quiet campus.

Their dinner was at the small nutrition dining hall on the third floor of the first canteen.

Just like their lunch, the dinner also had only two dishes prepared by Jiang Yu, and the rest were made by the chefs at the small dining hall. The taste was just so-so.

Therefore, aside from giving a portion to the three student-athletes who performed best in the afternoon training, the two dishes made by Jiang Yu were quickly snatched up by everyone else.

Without Jiang Yu’s dishes, what flavor does this nutritional meal even have?

This is exactly why everyone finished their dinner quickly, wrapping up in less than fifteen minutes.

"Hey, I’m kind of missing our team’s canteen now. Speaking of which, the food in our team’s canteen tastes alright."

Wang Dongkai patted his stomach, feeling a bit hungry again less than an hour after dinner. Clearly, he hadn’t had his fill before.

While kicking a pebble on the road with the tip of his foot, he sighed,

"Our team’s chef, Master Qian, was supposedly a famous Huaiyang chef in Gusu."

"You really don’t know until you compare; when you do, you’re shocked! The nutritional meals made at our school’s small canteen are really bland, lacking appetite after just one bite."

"Hehe, you said so much, but I bet missing the team canteen meals isn’t the real reason. Wanting to eat Junior Brother Jiang Yu’s cooking, now that’s the truth, right?"
