Chapter 257 You cant retain talents if you dont want to give up the box(1/3)
Jiangzhou International Airport.
Zhu Yaxue wore a beige fisherman's hat on her head and a backpack on her body, and followed the bustling crowd out of the airport exit.
It's already past three in the afternoon, the sun is shining brightly outside, the sky is blue, and occasionally a few white clouds float by, which is so tempting that people can't help but want to take a bite.
It had just rained lightly on the road, which was still wet. From time to time, raindrops would drip from the dome, hitting the heads of pedestrians and causing a splash of raindrops.
The sky and earth in the distance are foggy, and the city is looming, just like a rumored mirage.
Zhu Yaxue stood at the exit, looking at everything in front of her, feeling a little excited in her heart.
This was her first time visiting a southern city so far away. The southernmost city she had been to before was just a magical city, which inevitably made her a little excited.
Two days ago, after Zhu Yaxue received the "fan welfare" peach blossom shortcake that she had snapped up, she generously took it out and shared it with her colleagues in the magazine.
She originally wanted everyone to help evaluate whether this peach blossom cake is delicious or not?
Who knows, after she tasted the taste of this peach blossom cake, she knew that she was wrong, and how wrong it was.
Such a delicious peach blossom shortcake can be tasted by everyone, so why does it need so many people to evaluate it?
But by then, it was too late to regret.
Because out of a box of six peach blossom shortcakes, she only ate one, and the rest was divided among her colleagues.
Moreover, they were obviously still a little unsatisfied after eating, and their eyes began to glow green, which made Zhu Yaxue a little scared.
After tasting the peach blossom cake, Zhu Yaxue immediately made up her mind to visit Jiangzhou University as soon as possible.
She is the editor of a travel and food magazine and a well-known blogger. It is her job to explore beautiful scenery and delicious food everywhere.
The peach blossom shortcakes made by Jiang Yu are already so delicious, so how delicious should the food he cooks be?
Just thinking about that taste made her drool.
Therefore, while still working at the magazine, Zhu Yaxue bought a ticket on her mobile phone to fly to Jiangzhou the next day.
After returning home and having a good night's rest, she got up early this morning, packed her luggage, and then set off.
Now, her feet have stepped on the soil of Jiangzhou.
Looking at the tourists coming and going in front of her, and the cars that shuttled back and forth from time to time, Zhu Yaxue, who was agitated in her heart, took a deep breath, and the moist air filled her lungs. It was cool and comfortable, and she couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Without any further delay, she came to the roadside outside the airport exit, reached out to stop a taxi that had just alighted, opened the passenger door, took off the backpack on her back and held it in her arms.
Buttocks got into the car.
The taxi driver was an uncle in his fifties with some gray hair. He turned to look at Zhu Yaxue and asked with a smile:
"Where are you going little girl?"
Zhu Yaxue reached out and buckled her seat belt and said crisply:
"Jiangzhou University."
“Jiangzhou University has several campuses!”
The driver was still smiling. He released the brakes, slowly drove the car into the driveway, and then said,
"Are you going to the new campus or the old campus?"
"ah?"
Zhu Yaxue was stunned for a moment. She knew that the Seventh Canteen was at Jiangzhou University, but how could she know which campus it was on?
Before coming here, she didn't even know that Jiangzhou University had a new campus and an old campus.
"Is this your first time in Jiangzhou?"
The uncle driver turned to look at her again. When he saw that she didn't speak, he immediately laughed and said,
"If I'm not wrong, you should want to go to the No. 7 Canteen of Jiangzhou University to try the food cooked by Jiang Yu, right?"
Zhu Yaxue asked in surprise: "How do you know?"
"Do you even need to ask? You're not the first one here."
The uncle driver looked proud and continued,
"Every one or two days, I can hook up someone who goes to Jiangzhou University. There are men and women, some older than me, and some as young as you.
Aren’t these people all here for the food cooked by Jiang Yu?”
Zhu Yaxue asked again: "Then, is the food cooked by Jiang Yu really delicious?"
"Then how do I know? I haven't eaten it."
The uncle driver smacked his lips, shook his head and said,
"However, I have also visited several people who have eaten the food cooked by Jiang Yu. They said that the food cooked by Jiang Yu is a kind of delicious food that they have never tasted before. Once you take one bite, you will never be able to eat it again.
Can't forget it.
When those people left, they sighed and said they didn't know when they would be able to eat again in the future, and none of them wanted to leave!"
After a pause, he glanced at Zhu Yaxue again and said jokingly,
"Little girl, I have to advise you, it's best not to eat. How sad would it be if you were really addicted and couldn't bear to leave?"
Zhu Yaxue curled her lips and said:
"How can that be done? I came all the way here just to taste the food in the Seventh Canteen. If I just leave like this, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
The driver uncle didn't care, he smiled and said:
"Haha, from what the little girl says, have you already reserved a private room in advance?"
"No."
Zhu Yaxue shook her head and said calmly,
"Why do you need to reserve a private room in advance? I don't plan to eat in dining room No. 7. I can just go to the student cafeteria on the first floor and try it. Aren't the dishes there also made by Jiang Yu?"
"You little girl, you didn't understand anything, and you just came here in confusion?"
When the driver heard this, he burst out laughing. After a while, he explained,
"Before Dining Room No. 7 opened, most of the food in the student cafeteria on the first floor was indeed cooked by Jiang Yu.
However, after Dining Room No. 7 officially opens, the food in the student cafeteria is no longer made by Jiang Yu himself, it is all made by Jiang Yu's apprentices!
You can figure it out just by thinking about it, Jiang Yu is just a person, he is not a robot, no matter how energetic he is, he cannot run a restaurant and take care of a student canteen at the same time!"
Zhu Yaxue: "..."
What the driver uncle said makes perfect sense!
Before rushing to buy the "fan welfare" peach blossom shortcake, she had never paid much attention to the news about Jiang Yu and Qi Canteen. She only knew that the food in Qi Canteen was delicious.
She thought before that Jiang Yu was still cooking on the first floor of Qi Canteen!
If it was true as the driver uncle said, then even if she rushed over now, she wouldn't be able to eat the food cooked by Jiang Yu.
As for booking a private room, it is even more unknown.
Who knows if I will still be lucky enough to be able to grab a box just like snapping up "fan benefits"?
Just when she was confused and at a loss, the driver's uncle said with a smile:
"Looking at you, little girl, I'm afraid you don't know that you don't have a student ID card from Jiangzhou University, so I'm afraid you can't even enter the school gate.
The school does not want many outsiders to come to the seventh cafeteria to compete with students for food, so it has strengthened gate management since last year, and it is even stricter this year.
Let me tell you, you can't even enter the school, let alone the Seventh Canteen.
So, as you said before, if you want to try the food on the first floor of Seventh Canteen, that is also very difficult!"
"..."
Zhu Yaxue's excitement when she just got off the plane was gone at this moment.
She just heard that the food cooked by Jiang Yu was delicious, so she flew all the way here just to have a taste of the food!
How could you imagine that just having a meal would have so many "obstacles"?
Isn’t it just that the food is delicious? Why should we torture people like this?!
I'm simply out of breath!
She was so angry that her teeth were itching. When the driver saw that she had stopped talking, he couldn't help but ask:
"Hey, little girl, do you still want to go to Jiangzhou University now?
Let me tell you, the new campus of Jiangzhou University is in the suburbs, and the outside of the school is almost as desolate as a rural area.
Since you can't enter the school gate, I think you might as well just go to the city to find a place to stay for one night and buy a ticket to go back tomorrow.
Besides, there are many delicious places in the city. Although they are not as good as Jiangyu’s, they are still rare and delicious. I finally came to Jiangzhou, so I can’t miss them in vain.”
"No, master, you'd better send me directly to Jiangzhou University!"
Zhu Yaxue shook her head and said firmly,
"I won't leave until I eat the food cooked by Jiang Yu!"
