Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 368 - 246: Seventh Dining Hall’s Fan Benefits (Part 3)
"Really regretting it now, I should have applied to Jiang University back then. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be here drooling over my phone screen!"
"..."
Reading these comments made Luo Xiaoyu, a student of Jiang University, inexplicably proud. These comments were just too funny!
Someone even said that Senior Brother Jiang’s Peach Blossom Pastry is "too sweet and dry to swallow"!
Purely a case of "sour grapes"!
Shaking his head, Luo Xiaoyu couldn’t help but smile slightly. Fortunately, yes, fortunately, he’s a student at Jiang University. Although he always has to scramble with others for a private room, and often can’t get one, at least he can go to the Seventh Dining Hall to eat at any time!
Many dishes at the Seventh Dining Hall, even if not made personally by Senior Brother Jiang, are made by his apprentices, and the taste isn’t much different from what Jiang makes.
With this kind of taste, even people outside the campus couldn’t find it in high-end restaurants!
After looking at the comments for a while, Luo Xiaoyu, feeling superior, noticed the time was almost eight o’clock. He quickly exited the Douyin app and opened the restaurant reservation app.
Learning from last time, he did not wait until just a minute or two before the "snap-up moment" to open the app. This time, he left himself a bit of extra time to avoid lag, which might cause him to miss the "snap-up moment" again.
Whether he could successfully "snap-up" a private room was one thing; just being part of it was another. He didn’t want to make the same mistake again, causing pain to friends and delight to enemies.
For some reason, when he went to the men’s bathroom, the phone signal was especially good. This time, when Luo Xiaoyu opened the restaurant reservation app, the app responded quickly, entering the "snap-up" interface smoothly.
On the phone screen, in the center of the page, the "reserve private room" button was still gray. Below the button, a red countdown timer was jumping non-stop, showing less than 2 minutes until the reservation officially started.
Luo Xiaoyu watched quietly for a while, feeling peaceful inside.
It was as if before a great battle, even birds sensed the tense atmosphere, hiding in their nests, daring neither to fly nor make a sound.
At this moment, Luo Xiaoyu felt the same; even his breath was light, not daring to take a deep breath, his eyes glued to the countdown, not daring to blink.
The waiting was incredibly hard to bear, but time kept passing by, second by second. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Finally, Luo Xiaoyu’s eyes squinted at the countdown, and his already prepared finger, and indeed his whole hand, began to tremble slightly.
At the exact moment the "reserve private room" button lit up, his long-awaiting right index finger stabbed at the phone screen fiercely!
Once was not enough, at least ten times!
After stabbing, Luo Xiaoyu relaxed completely, gasping for breath, his heart pounding violently in his chest, even feeling slightly dizzy in his head.
After finally catching his breath, he held his breath, picked up the phone to check, and was first stunned, then wildly overjoyed!
On the top of the screen, a small box unexpectedly popped up on the "reserve private room" page, and inside was a sentence:
"Dear! Your luck is simply overflowing!
You were the first to snag a private room among countless people, please hurry to select your dining date and room number!
Oh, and don’t forget to register your personal information!"
After seeing this sentence, Luo Xiaoyu’s mind went blank with a "boom", and he was immediately overwhelmed with joy:
Indeed, Heaven never fails the hopeful!
I finally booked a private room in Dining Room No. 7!
I just want to ask, who else?!
...
In Dining Room No. 7, inside the kitchen.
Jiang Yu certainly knew today was a big day for private room reservations, but he didn’t pay too much attention to it. Regardless of booking conditions, he’s always busy.
Dining Room No. 7 only releases four private rooms per meal, and even with five weekdays, it’s only forty rooms total—no need to worry about them not being booked!
If such a thing really happened, it would mean Dining Room No. 7 would practically have to close its doors.
At the moment, Jiang Yu and Du Guangning were hiding in the kitchen, processing ingredients while they waited for Hua Xiaoling to sort out the reservation information and pre-order menu from the private room guests.
Without a pre-order menu, they wouldn’t even know what dishes to cook, let alone prepare in advance.
It didn’t take long before Hua Xiaoling brought in the freshly printed guest information and pre-order menu.
"Boss, our restaurant reservation app performed well today, no lag like last time. All 40 rooms were booked in 0.5 seconds."
Hua Xiaoling handed the few sheets she was holding to Jiang Yu and said with a smile,
"Boss Duan is really reliable. After the app lagged last time, I called to explain the situation, and he immediately fixed the problem."
"Hmm, pretty good."
Jiang Yu glanced at the reservation information in his hand before he looked up and smiled at Hua Xiaoling, saying,
"I previously arranged with the boss to leave him one private room use per month. He didn’t use it last month, which should technically expire.
Saying that, if he’s so sincere, then when you have time, give him a call and let him know he can have two private room uses this month, but they must be used within this month, or they’ll really expire."
