Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 423 - 260: Master Jiang Said You Have to Chew Slowly (Part 2)

Chapter 423: Chapter 260: Master Jiang Said You Have to Chew Slowly (Part 2)

After Hu Zhihai briefly introduced, He Xiaotao’s mother couldn’t help but speak, her face showing some fear and helplessness, she said mournfully:

"Master Jiang, our Xiaotao is only 20 years old, her life has just begun, yet she used to harm her body every day to lose weight, which resulted in her current state...

Master Jiang, I heard from Xiaohu that your cooking can cure anorexia, you must save her, as long as you can return her to her former self, I’d break the pots and sell the iron to repay you!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu couldn’t help but frown, turning his head to glance at Hu Zhihai.

Before he could say anything, Hu Zhihai immediately panicked and quickly said:

"Auntie, I never said Lao Jiang’s cooking could cure anorexia, don’t speak nonsense!

Even medicine might not cure anorexia, how could food have such magical effects?

What I meant was, Lao Jiang’s cooking tastes very good, Xiaotao might be able to eat Lao Jiang’s dishes even if she can’t eat others’ cooking."

"I know, I know! Auntie just got a bit anxious and didn’t explain properly."

He Xiaotao’s mother saw that Hu Zhihai seemed a bit upset and hurriedly explained,

"Whether or not Xiaotao can be cured, as long as she can eat a little something, that’s good enough. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

If she continues to have no appetite all day and vomits out even bile after eating a bit, how can she endure?"

Speaking of which, her voice choked up, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

After listening to the mother, He Xiaotao didn’t react much, but the family members of the other two patients began to plead:

"Yes, Master Jiang, please, you must help us, my Xiaoxuan is only 6 years old!"

"Master Jiang, also please save our Lao Song, if we lose him, how will our family of orphans and widows survive?"

"..."

For a moment, the desperate pleas of several family members echoed in the spacious hall of the cafeteria.

"Everyone, everyone! Please calm down for a moment, okay?"

Seeing the situation suddenly getting out of control, Hu Zhihai’s heart was also filled with panic, and he quickly said,

"I’ve already made it clear before, Lao Jiang is just a chef, not a doctor, he can’t cure illnesses, his cooking can only possibly whet Xiaoxuan and Xiaotao’s appetites.

But let me clarify, we can’t guarantee that Xiaoxuan and Xiaotao will definitely eat Lao Jiang’s food!"

Hu Zhihai repeated this several times, and the emotions of the patients’ family members finally began to settle down.

Actually, they can’t be blamed either, the terrible anorexia has almost tortured their families to the point of preferring death over life.

Now that they’ve finally encountered someone who is said to give their anorexic relatives the appetite to eat, how could they not be excited?

"Just like Lao Hu said, I am a chef, not a doctor. What I can do is cook a few dishes for your loved ones to taste, but I can’t guarantee they’ll definitely eat them, let alone cure them."

Once everyone finally calmed down, Jiang Yu spoke up,

"If you’re willing to give it a try, then come with me to the second floor; if not, I won’t force you, and I’ll have Lao Hu send you back later."

After saying this, Jiang Yu didn’t say anything else, and turned to walk towards the second floor.

"Anyone willing to give it a try, come upstairs with us now."

Hu Zhihai turned to the three family members and said, quickly following Jiang Yu’s steps.

The three family members exchanged glances, said nothing, and supported their loved ones to go upstairs as well.

Not one among them was willing to leave; they had long endured the torment of anorexia, and they wouldn’t give up as long as there was a shred of hope.

Once the group went upstairs, they were quickly led by a waiter into the "Xia" private room.

Jiang Yu then went to the kitchen on his own, starting to prepare a few dishes.

Du Guangning had just cleaned up the kitchen, and seeing Jiang Yu ready to cook again, couldn’t help but curiously ask:

"Boss, have more guests arrived?"

Jiang Yu shook his head, preparing the ingredients as he said,

"No, I brought a few anorexia patients over to see if they could eat my dishes."

"Anorexia..."

Du Guangning’s eyes widened upon hearing this.

Anorexia is far too common; many girls take drugs, starve themselves, exercise excessively, and even force themselves to vomit food just to lose weight...

All these actions easily lead to anorexia.

Of course, he knows anorexia patients have no appetite, can’t eat, and even if they force food down, they’ll vomit it back up.

Now Jiang Yu wants to see if anorexia patients can eat his dishes, suggesting that there have been successful cases before?

Could it be that the boss’s cooking is really that impressive?!

Excited by the thought, he quickly said:

"Boss, what dishes do you want to make? I’ll help you!"

"These anorexia patients haven’t had a proper meal for a long time, spicy and stimulating food is certainly not suitable for them."

Jiang Yu thought for a moment and said,

"I’ll make a golden soup tofu stew, stir-fried mushrooms, spinach egg rolls, and simmer a small pot of yam lean pork millet porridge."
