Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 374 - 248: Jiang Yu is Remarkable

Seventh Dining Room, "Xia" private room.

This lunch with Professor Hans and Vice Principal He lasted until one-thirty in the afternoon before finally concluding.

Vice Principal He and the other leaders from Jiang University were relatively restrained; when they felt full, they decisively put down their chopsticks and didn’t continue eating.

But Professor Hans had no such reservations. He wouldn’t hold back his desires; how could he not enjoy himself when he rarely got to eat Jiang Yu’s cooking?

How could that be?!

As expected, he ended up overeating.

"Mr. Jiang Yu’s food seems even more delicious than last time!"

Professor Hans’s stomach felt a bit uncomfortable from fullness. Leaning back in his chair, he rubbed his slightly protruding belly with a satisfied expression and praised,

"Especially that palace-style fragrant rice meat, it was simply amazing!

Oh, pardon me! Please forgive my limited Huaxia vocabulary; I truly don’t know what words to use to describe its deliciousness!"

After a pause, he looked across at Vice Principal He with interest and asked,

"By the way, Principal He, the name of this dish includes the word ’palace’, does it mean..."

"You’re right, Professor Hans, this is a dish from ancient Huaxia’s Imperial Palace. Those who could taste its delicacy were all palace nobles; ordinary people couldn’t afford or access it,"

Vice Principal He suddenly remembered how, when the palace-style fragrant rice meat was first served, Professor Hans was captivated by its exquisite presentation.

The pieces of pork belly were cut into neat squares, each piece marbled with fat and lean meat, looking glossy and enticing. Each piece of pork was tightly wrapped with straw twice and neatly arranged on boiled Qingjiang cabbage.

This fragrant meat was richly aromatic, tender, and soft, rich but not greasy. When tasted, it offered the flavors of the meat, sauce, and fermented bean curd, along with a faint scent of straw, making one unable to stop after the first bite.

After the palace-style fragrant rice meat was served, Vice Principal He and other department heads only tried one piece each.

Once they finished, wanting to savor another piece, they were surprised to find Professor Hans across from them deftly picking up one piece after another and sending them straight to his mouth!

While eating, he exclaimed with satisfaction:

"Oh, God! What kind of meat is this? It’s so delicious, I’ve never eaten meat this good before!"

In just a few minutes, the dish, which originally had only a dozen pieces of fragrant rice meat, was devoured by Professor Hans. He didn’t even spare the Qingjiang cabbage lining the plate!

Vice Principal He and the others stared at Professor Hans’s eating prowess in bewilderment!

Wow!

The last time Professor Hans was here for a meal, he wasn’t very proficient with chopsticks. How is it that in less than a month, he seems as skilled as I am?!

Did he practice with chopsticks 24/7 for a whole month?

For the sake of eating, you really put in the effort!

"Royal cuisine, is it? No wonder it’s so delicious!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

After hearing Vice Principal He’s explanation, Professor Hans suddenly realized and marveled again,

"Mr. Jiang Yu is truly an amazing young man; he can even make royal dishes, and they taste superb!

It must be divine guidance that I met him in this ancient and great nation of Huaxia!"

After chatting in the private room for a while longer and when Professor Hans had rested enough, they all got up to leave.

Vice Principal He’s task today was to sign a recruitment agreement with Professor Hans and then host a banquet to welcome this international expert. Now that his tasks were complete, naturally, he couldn’t accompany him further.

So after leaving the Seventh Dining Hall, he greeted Professor Hans and returned to his office since, as the Vice Principal, he still had plenty of work to handle.

Meanwhile, Professor Hans was escorted by the School of Life Sciences office chief to the faculty dormitory to arrange his accommodations.

Since he had just accepted the position today, he naturally couldn’t immediately start working. Besides settling in, he needed some time to get familiar with the new work environment.

...

In a spacious yet slightly cluttered office at Jiangzhou High-tech Entrepreneurship Park.

Having just finished developing a new project, Duan Yiming, with his messy hair, sat on the boss chair behind the desk, making a phone call:

"Alright, Miss Xiaoling! It’s a small matter; I can take care of it for you in two hours, guaranteeing it won’t delay your affairs...

Oh, thank you! Haha, please thank Boss Xiao Jiang for me!

Coincidentally, I have an important guest to host in a couple of days. Please inform Boss Xiao Jiang beforehand to reserve a private room for me... Yes, yes! The day after tomorrow, in the evening!

Thank you, thank you! Alright, let’s leave it at that for now. I’ll immediately arrange someone to handle the matter you mentioned!

Okay, goodbye, goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Duan Yiming let out a long sigh of relief. Despite having been a bit worn out from consecutive late nights and overtime, at this moment, he suddenly felt revitalized, as if he had been injected with a shot of energy.
