Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 369 - 246: Seventh Dining Hall’s Fan Benefits (4)

"Okay, I guess he’s just too busy with work to come over?"

Hua Xiaoling couldn’t help but laugh when she heard this and said,

"But, whether he uses it or not, the boss giving him two chances to use the booth will surely make him happy."

"That’s something he deserves, not something I’m giving him for free."

Jiang Yu waved his hand and didn’t continue with the subject. While busy with what he was doing, he asked,

"By the way, did you place the order for the Peach Blossom Pastry boxes? When can we expect them to arrive?"

"I did. I placed the order right after I talked to the boss about it yesterday."

When Hua Xiaoling mentioned this, she couldn’t help but look excited. She said,

"These boxes are custom-made, the design on them is beautiful. I also told the shop owner to expedite it. If they do a good job, I’ll go back to them next time.

They promised to ship today. I estimate that the boxes should arrive by the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"The day after tomorrow?"

Jiang Yu thought for a moment, then nodded and said,

"That works too. Since the boxes will arrive by the day after tomorrow, choose the best time to announce the news."

"Okay, don’t worry, boss, I’ll make sure to handle it properly!"

Hua Xiaoling raised her hand and patted her chest like a man to assure him.

After chatting casually for a few more minutes, Hua Xiaoling hurriedly turned around and went downstairs.

Her main job is a Douyin live streamer. She had been busy all morning with the booth reservations and hadn’t had time to start her stream yet.

Now that she’s done with her tasks, she naturally needed to continue with her live streaming!

After Hua Xiaoling left, Jiang Yu carefully looked over the menu ordered by the guests in the four booths for lunch today. He circled all the cold dishes before looking at Du Guangning and saying to him:

"Xiaodu, most of these cold dishes you’ve made once or twice. Get the ingredients ready first and make them all once for me to see.

If they pass this time, you’ll be in charge of all these cold dishes in the future."

"Okay, boss!"

Du Guangning was immediately excited upon hearing this.

As a chef, the greatest hope is naturally to be able to manage on your own and create dishes that satisfy the guests. Du Guangning is no exception.

Although the dishes he made tasted good after learning from Jiang Yu for so long, they were always personally guided by Jiang Yu during preparation.

If Jiang Yu wasn’t around, Du Guangning really didn’t have much confidence in making such delicious dishes.

This time, since Jiang Yu indicated that he could be responsible for the cold dishes, it meant that his cold dish skills were almost up to par, and with some focus, the flavor would certainly not be bad.

This was the boss’s affirmation of his cold dish skills, so how could he not be excited?

After responding, Du Guangning quickly grabbed a towel to dry his hands, took the menu Hua Xiaoling had brought over, and carefully looked it over. After memorizing the cold dishes for the four booths at lunch, he hurriedly turned around and went to the fresh ingredients room to pick out what he needed.

As for Jiang Yu, it was still early, and there was no rush to start cooking, plus he was waiting for someone’s call.

He pulled up a chair, sat down in the corner of the kitchen, and took his phone out of his pocket, ready to play a couple of games of chess in his spare time.

Yesterday his luck was terrible; he lost four out of five games of chess. Of course, he couldn’t accept losing, especially not to a simple mode AI!

Just as he was about to open the chess app, his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it, immediately stood up, and walked outside.

The call he’d been waiting for from Xiong Bingsheng had finally come.
