Chapter 383: Chapter 250: Jiang Yu’s Food Is Always in Short Supply (Part 2)

"Good!"

Professor Hans also smiled, picked up his spoon and gently stirred the porridge in the bowl to cool it down a bit faster. After a good while, he finally scooped up a spoonful of porridge, sipped it carefully, and let out a satisfied sigh:

"This porridge is truly delicious, with a fragrant aroma, soft and sticky; it’s so good!"

Just as he finished speaking, he heard Vice Principal He sitting opposite suddenly exclaim "Ouch!" He quickly looked over.

At a glance, Professor Hans almost burst into laughter.

Vice Principal He’s face and clothes were splattered with the soup from the soup-filled dumplings, and a rich scent was slowly emanating from him.

Professor Hans hurriedly took out a tissue from his pocket, handed it over while suppressing his laughter, and said:

"Oh my God! How could you be so careless? Don’t you know that soup-filled dumplings have a lot of broth in them?"

At this point, Vice Principal He was truly socially dead.

He wanted to cry but had no tears, taking the tissue from Professor Hans to wipe the broth off his face and clothes, while saying with a bitter face:

"Professor Hans, just tell me the truth, you should have already tried soup-filled dumplings on your last visit, right?"

"Hmm? Really? Maybe, I can’t quite remember."

Professor Hans suppressed his laughter and replied, indeed, last time when he visited, not only did he eat the soup-filled dumplings at the Seventh Dining Hall for breakfast, but he also tried some hot marinated dishes and spring rolls!

Everyone just ate until they were stuffed!

Pausing, he sighed again and said,

"However, you know, when I first came to the school, eating breakfast alone was really lonely.

So, when Principal He said yesterday he would accompany me for breakfast, I was more than happy to accept.

But I didn’t truly expect that you hadn’t tried the soup-filled dumplings from the Seventh Dining Hall yet..."

Vice Principal He: "..."

This statement left me not knowing how to respond!

So, it’s my fault, huh?!

...

Seventh Dining Hall, first-floor kitchen.

Early this morning, Jiang Yu got up and came here to help Lu Shuwu and others prepare breakfast for a while before starting to busy herself with other tasks alone.

Last time, the peach blossoms Lu Shuwu picked during an outing to the outskirts of Jiangzhou were long used up, and the peach blossom sauce made from them was used for making peach blossom pastries.

As for those peach blossom pastries, after being distributed among the canteen staff and sold at the window for students to try, they were quickly consumed.

Now, since they needed to prepare "fan benefits" for diners who follow and support "Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall", naturally they had to make some peach blossom pastries anew.

Fresh peach blossoms for making peach blossom sauce were not hard to come by; there was no need, like last time, for Lu Shuwu to travel far to Peach Blossom Mountain Villa to buy and pick them.

Fresh edible peach blossoms are sold readily; Jiang Yu just called Boss Zhao at the Fresh Center who promptly promised to procure a sufficient quantity of fresh edible peach blossoms.

When the ingredients were delivered in the early hours, Boss Zhao also brought the freshly procured peach blossoms. As soon as Jiang Yu received them, she wasted no time; first cleaning the peach blossoms, then immediately starting the peach blossom sauce preparation.

Once He Chunxiao finished making the breakfast-selling buns and steamed buns, Jiang Yu joined her in making the dough for the water-oil-skin and flaky pastry layers.

As for Ma Guoqiang, he was still busy at the window making Jiangzhou Spicy Noodles, unable to spare time to help Jiang Yu with the peach blossom pastries.

"Boss, can you save a few more peach blossom pastries for me this time?"

After finishing breakfast preparations, Lu Shuwu also joined in making peach blossom pastries, grinningly saying,

"The few you gave me last time, I gave to my little sister, and now she’s hooked and came looking for more these past couple of days..."

Jiang Yu turned to glance at him, continued his busy work with a smile, and said:

"Then make a few more yourself, and you can tell your sister they were homemade by you."

Lu Shuwu chuckled, "Haha, that sounds great."

"Xiaojiang, why not make all peach blossom pastries?"

At that moment, Jia Dequan also came over, smiling and suggesting,

"The peach blossom filling is tasty but after all, it’s sweet; most boys don’t really like it. Why not also make some with braised pork and preserved vegetable filling, which is aromatic and delicious; what do you think?"

Hu Zhihai, who was devouring a big bowl of Jiangzhou Spicy Noodles and slurping loudly, also leaned over, nodding repeatedly and said:

"Yeah, yeah, Lao Jiang, make some braised pork and preserved vegetable one, I’d eat it as a meal!"

"What can’t you eat as a meal? You’ll even eat spicy strips as a meal!"

Jiang Yu glared at him, looking annoyed, and said,

"Shoo! Stop causing trouble here, go slurp your noodles!"

Hu Zhihai wasn’t afraid of Jiang Yu, chuckled a bit, shook his head, and sat down to focus on slurping his noodles.

Lately, Lao Hu has been quite focused, hiding away in the library to review carefully for next year’s postgraduate exams, entirely abandoning his previous "three days of fishing and two days of drying nets" mindset, rarely wandering around the dining hall.

He’s well aware that now Jiang Yu not only runs the canteen and restaurant, but this coming autumn will continue with her postgraduate studies.

If he doesn’t work harder to try and get into the university’s postgraduate program, he’ll not only miss out on Jiang Yu’s cooking but the gap between him and Jiang Yu will only continue to widen.
