On the first floor of Seventh Canteen, in the private room.

When no one is taking a break, this place becomes Hua Xiaoling's "temporary office".

Hua Xiaoling is not considered a formal employee of Qi Canteen. At best, she is just a non-staff member. Being an Internet celebrity for exploring food live broadcasts is her main business. As for helping Jiang Yu operate the "Jiang Da Qi Canteen" Douyin account and manage the restaurant reservation APP

, can only be regarded as a "hobby".

Who made her fall in love with Jiang Yu’s cooking?

She couldn't let go of it, so she could only use her professional skills to "earn" food for herself.

At this moment, Hua Xiaoling was sitting on a chair, her big eyes staring at the laptop screen in front of her without blinking, while her right hand held the mouse and kept clicking on something.

Behind her, Jiang Yu was looking at the screen with his arms folded, a serious and focused expression on his face.

"Boss, it's almost eight o'clock. When eight o'clock comes, the reservation system on the APP will automatically open."

Hua Xiaoling operated the computer for a while, then stopped, turned to look at Jiang Yu, and explained in a clear voice,

"This time is standard time, based on the time on the computer system."

"Oh, that's pretty good. It's much more accurate than manually opening the reservation, and it also prevents others from complaining that our time is inaccurate."

Jiang Yu nodded and said with a smile,

"Xiao Ling, please take a look later. If all our private rooms are booked this week, how long will it take?"

"oh."

Hua Xiaoling responded, but before she could take a breath, she quickly said,

"Um, boss, all the private rooms for this week have been booked!"

"Ah?" Jiang Yu was stunned.

"I said, all the private rooms for this week have been booked!"

Hua Xiaoling turned her head, her two big eyes seemed to be shining, so bright that Jiang Yu was a little confused, and she said excitedly,

[The problem of slow update of new chapters will be resolved soon.

Door.

As soon as the door opened, the noisy sound in the cafeteria hall surged in like a tide, instantly surrounding Jiang Yu and making him stunned for a moment.

The cafeteria has been open for a while now, and it is the time when there are the most students. The hall is crowded and noisy.

During this period of time, Qi Canteen will launch a new breakfast product or new dish almost every few days, which makes students who already like Qi Canteen’s food flock to it even more.

This change has also made several other canteens on the Jiangnan University campus feel like they are facing a formidable enemy, and each of them has begun to optimize their dishes or make complete changes.

For example, Si Canteen has completely abandoned the Chinese fast food model and replaced it with Western fried chicken, French fries, bread and burgers, plus various sodas and drinks, turning itself into a Western canteen.

After Wu Canteen closed last year, it reopened under a new owner this year. It also gave up the main meal and turned the canteen into a "Chinese Food City", specializing in famous snacks from all over China, such as grilled skewers, fried stinky tofu, and cold noodles.

And Roujiamo and so on.

Engaging in "differentiated" competition like this is a way to avoid trying to "win" among canteens.

After all, there are more than 40,000 teachers and students in this school. There are always some people who like to eat fried chicken, French fries, or kebabs and steamed buns. Even those "regulars" of the Seventh Canteen will have a change.

Appetite needs.

Under this change, even if you can't get meat from other canteens, you can at least drink broth.

But in any case, the various changes in Jiangda's cafeteria are always a good thing for the students of the school.

Who doesn’t want to eat delicious food every day?

After standing in the hall for a short while, Jiang Yu came to his senses amidst the deafening noise. He took a deep breath, walked through the crowded dining area, and prepared to go up to the second floor.

He originally thought that he would have to put in a lot of effort to squeeze through, but before he even got close, someone among the students squeezing in front noticed him, and each one of them was extremely enthusiastic and greeted him one after another:

"Good morning, Senior Brother Jiang!"

"Senior brother, have you had breakfast?"

"Hello, Senior Brother Jiang!"

"..."

While saying hello, these students consciously retreated to both sides, leaving a narrow temporary passage for Jiang Yu.

Although Jiang Yu was a little surprised, he didn't say much. With a smile on his face, he nodded to the students who were greeting him and hurried through, feeling inexplicably emotional in his heart.

The students in the school are still simple-minded. If you treat them better, they will naturally get closer to you.

This is also the reason why Jiang Yu is willing to stay in school and open a cafeteria. He is reluctant to leave behind this innocence.

It was still early and no one had come to the second floor yet. Jiang Yu was about to find a place to sit down and relax with a game of chess when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

He took it out and looked at it. The call was from Xiong Xusheng. Without thinking much, he reached out and answered the call:

"Hello, Teacher Xiong?"

"Xiao Jiang, I have been notified that the alumni I told you about will be coming this afternoon."

Xiong Xusheng didn't say any nonsense and said straightforwardly,

"When they come here, they may go to the Seventh Canteen to meet you first. After all, in terms of seniority, they are all your senior brothers and sisters. They are also very curious about you and want to get to know you first.

How are you doing there, will you be very busy today?"

"It's okay for now, almost like usual."

Jiang Yu smiled and asked, "Is the reception banquet arranged by the school in the evening?"

"Yes, there are five people in total including the escort."

Xiong Xinsheng responded, "When they arrive in the afternoon, I will accompany them to find you."

"good."

Jiang Yu didn't say much. He chatted with Xiong Xusheng for a few more words and then hung up the phone.

In fact, Xiong Chen had already told him about this two days before his death. These alumni were invited by the school to guide the training of the school's sports team in preparation for the Provincial Games in July this year.

The Provincial Games are held every four years. It is said that in the last Provincial Games, Jiangzhou University also organized sports teams to participate in the competition, but the results were very low. However, the next door Jiangzhou University of Finance and Economics and Jiangzhou Normal University had student stands.

On the podium.

There is a sophomore student from the Physical Education College of Jiangzhou University of Finance and Economics. He even won a championship medal in the 58kg taekwondo competition and was directly recruited into the national team after the competition.

This made the president of Jiangzhou University feel very embarrassed. Therefore, he made up his mind that this time the Provincial Games must show his style, results and level.

It is precisely because of this that the School of Physical Education invites outstanding alumni who have graduated and have achieved results in international and domestic competitions to come back to assist in training.

What a coincidence, October is the centenary anniversary of Jiangsu University, and these alumni had to go back to their alma mater early.

When the two things came together, everything became logical.

…

"This is too exaggerated. As soon as I saw the reservation button light up, I clicked it, and then a message "Dear, I'm so sorry" popped up, which made me stunned!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuoriuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My finger poked at the screen was almost swollen, but I still didn't get the box. Whoever did, please come out and let me see!"

"Upstairs, your fingers are swollen and you're fine. I broke the screen. Who should I ask to compensate you? I just bought a new mobile phone!"

"..."

Just after eight o'clock, hundreds of new comments appeared in the comment area of ​​the latest video posted by the "Jiangda Qi Canteen" Douyin account in an instant.

The resentment and unwillingness in those comments made people feel chills on their backs and chills all over their bodies.

People who don't know the inside story may be surprised, but netizens who often visit "Jiangda Qi Canteen" know that this is just a normal phenomenon.

After all, today is Monday!

After waiting for such a long time, full of expectation and desire, just waiting for a chance to taste the legendary delicacy, but after spending so much effort, I still couldn't get a box. Can I not feel resentful in my heart?

In addition to these complainers, of course there are also those who grabbed the box and later "reported the good news":

"Ah ha ha! I'm so happy! After so many attempts, I finally managed to get a private room! Two days later, I took my family to Jiang Da Qi Canteen to taste Master Xiao Jiang's craftsmanship!"

"I'm so jealous. I haven't been able to grab a private room since the reservation phone number was opened in Restaurant No. 7. I'm so lucky!"

"I got it too! I got it too! Haha, I still can't believe my eyes. I haven't been very lucky, but I was able to get a private room in the No. 7 dining room!"

"Upstairs, don't be too happy too early, you may use up all your luck in this life!"

"This friend upstairs is too violent. You didn't grab the box, so there's no need to speak so viciously. Maybe the owner of the building will have good luck from now on?"

"Well, let me ask the host, on what day do you want to make the reservation? Is it convenient for you to take me with you? I'll pay for it!"

"..."

Some netizens even came up with suggestions and started to make "suggestions" to Restaurant No. 7:

"Oh, there are only four private rooms for one meal. The private rooms are too few. It is not the amount that a normal restaurant should have. There are so many people fighting for it. It's weird that we can get it!"

"Perhaps this is a so-called high-end restaurant that only receives fewer customers so it can cook well? I heard that the dishes in Restaurant No. 7 are all cooked by boss Xiao Jiang alone, and no one else can make the same taste.
