Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Jiang University’s Students Are So Lucky

On the first day of opening, all the buns, hot marinated dishes, and porridge made in the kitchen were sold out.

This was somewhat beyond Jiang Yu’s expectations.

However, thinking about the fact that school would start tomorrow and, except for some senior students who would not return for internships, all other students who should have returned had returned, he was relieved.

“It seems like we’ll have to make more tomorrow. It would be quite troublesome if there’s not enough breakfast.”

Jiang Yu thought to himself.

The buns were sold out and had to be made temporarily, then steamed, and messing around like this, it was almost noon, so why not just wait for lunch!

With this in mind, Jiang Yu rested for a while and began arranging for everyone to prepare lunch.

He had no idea that the number of people coming to dine at noon was even greater than in the morning!

Looking out from the window, the dining hall was crowded and bustling with people, noisier than a morning market.

“How can there be so many people?”

Lu Shuwu was also confused, his face full of bewilderment.

It wasn’t even the start of school yet, this shouldn’t be!

“I got it, some of them must be from outside. Look at those few, they’re obviously not students!”

Jiang Yu frowned as he stared at the crowd outside for a while, raised his hand and pointed forward, identifying the crux of the problem.

“Isn’t the school supposed to restrict outside visitors?”

Lu Shuwu still didn’t understand how these people got in, given the situation.

“It’s the start of school these days, there will always be some parents coming to send their children to school. Going in and out like this, can they really check every single one thoroughly?”

Jiang Yu, being a student of the school, understood this part much better than Lu Shuwu, and he said,

“Don’t think about it anymore, these days will definitely not be restricted. At least not until school officially starts, then the school will tighten up again.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Shuwu looked bitter:

“Doesn’t that mean, for the next few days, we have to be as exhausted as last time, every day?”

“It’s just a few days.”

Jiang Yu turned back, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, “Besides, there’s me, and the private rooms on the second floor haven’t even opened yet!”

Saying this, he turned and headed back to the kitchen, waving as he walked,

“Let’s go, quickly cook a few more dishes, these at the window are about to sell out!”

Lu Shuwu glanced back, indeed, several meat dishes had less than a third left, yet the line outside was still long!

…

“Those idiots are still waiting on Douyin to snatch a reservation, there are only 50 spots, how can they get one?”

“Hehe! We are the smart ones, we know that at the start of school, the gate will definitely not be checked so strictly…”

“It’s such a normal thing, so many people coming and going at the start of school, how can they check everyone! Besides, security guards are people too, how can they manage all the work?”

“Tsk tsk, I have to say, the food at the Seventh Dining Hall is indeed delicious, way better than the pig feed at our school!”

“Speaking of which, it’s really infuriating. Our school is obviously not worse than Jiang University, but our cafeteria’s food isn’t as good, it’s really sad!”

“Who can you blame? Who told us we don’t have a senior brother who’s such a good cook?”

“Thinking about it now, the students at Jiang University are truly blessed!”

“…”

In the dining area of the Seventh Dining Hall, several young people who clearly looked like students were sitting in the corner, each with a plate piled with various dishes in front of them, the tempting aroma wafting into their noses.

They chatted while hungrily shoveling food into their mouths, making anyone watching worry that they might choke.

These young people were indeed students, but they weren’t from Jiang University, they were students from the neighboring Jiangzhou University of Finance and Economics.

Although Jiangzhou University of Finance and Economics isn’t a 211 university, it is more renowned domestically than Jiang University, and even their admissions scores aren’t very different from each other.

Therefore, students from Finance and Economics have never thought their school is inferior to Jiang University, and in some aspects, they are even better.

But now, they had to admit that their school might be comparable to Jiang University in many ways, but in terms of the taste of cafeteria food, their school was utterly defeated!

The food at Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall was simply too delicious, combining their school and other schools’ cafeterias together wouldn’t compare!

In the dining area, it wasn’t just a few Finance students, but students from other universities in Jiangzhou also took the chance of the start of school to sneak in and “snatch food”.

Usually, they couldn’t come over both because of classes and the strengthened security at the Jiangda Gate, so they rarely had the chance to taste the food at the Seventh Dining Hall.

Finally, this time, they had a chance to taste the delicious food of the Seventh Dining Hall and were astonished!

“Why the hell didn’t I study well in high school? Just a few points short of getting into Jiang University, I seriously regret it!”

“…Eating your meal just fine, why do you have to bring that up?”

“I mean if I had tried harder and got into Jiangzhou University, I could be eating at the Seventh Dining Hall every day now, rather than having to sneak in like this!”

“Whoa… damn! Now that you mention it, I regret it too!”

“…”

“Our school is right next to Jiang University, why not just sneak in every day from now on?”

“Without a Jiang University student card, how do we get in?”

“Hehe, you forget, my girlfriend is at Jiang University. We can just have her meet us at the gate. At worst, I’ll just get her food every day!”

“Good friend, huh? How about I get food for your girlfriend too?”

“Damn! What are you up to, dude?”

“…”

In the kitchen, Jiang Yu and Lu Shuwu each cooked two more dishes before finally serving all the swarming diners.

After finishing up these tasks, Jiang Yu poured himself a glass of water and sat down to take a breather.

It was just the first day of the semester, and there were already so many people coming to eat. By tomorrow, when the semester officially starts, all those who haven’t realized yet will likely flock in, and that’s when the real crowd shows up.

Even if it wasn’t him, the school wouldn’t have a solution either. They couldn’t possibly close the gate and check everyone individually to let them in; otherwise, those parents would scold them to high heaven.

If it really doesn’t work out, they’ll just have to do what they can, however much that may be.

Jiang Yu truly worried himself to pieces over these freshmen’s eating issues!

While he was pondering over these matters, Yan Tongtong suddenly ran in from outside, a bit out of breath, and said:

“Senior, Aunt Liu and Lele are here!”

“Oh?”

Jiang Yu was taken aback by this. He had been thinking that with the school about to start, Liu Shurong and her son still hadn’t come.

The sausages, cured meat, and cookies he made for Lele before, no matter how delicious, should have made them tired of them after more than a month.

Logically speaking, they should have arrived at school earlier than him, but they sure managed to hold out until now.

He was even thinking that maybe Liu Shurong and her husband had found the right doctor and cured Lele’s eating disorder?

Upon hearing Yan Tongtong say they had arrived, Jiang Yu didn’t delay any further. He got up from his seat and headed towards the dining hall.

When he reached the hall, Liu Shurong and Wu Wenle were both dressed in thick down jackets and wearing knit hats, looking very warm.

Wu Wenle seemed a bit leaner than when he left last year, but he looked quite energetic with a good complexion.

Jiang Yu walked up a few steps with a smile and greeted them:

“Aunt Liu, Lele, Happy New Year! When did you get here?”

“Happy New Year, Boss Xiao Jiang!”

Liu Shurong nodded to Jiang Yu with a slight smile and said,

“Actually, Lele and I have been here for a while. We hadn’t come to bother Boss Xiao Jiang because I was busy handling transfer admission procedures for Lele.”

Jiang Yu was taken aback, somewhat puzzled: “Transfer admission procedures?”

“Yes, after Lele went back, he really couldn’t eat food made by others. Over this past month, we are so grateful for the sausages, cured meat, and other things that Boss Xiao Jiang helped prepare in advance, or else our whole family wouldn’t have known what to do.”

Liu Shurong looked at Lele and said helplessly,

“After discussing with my family, since there was no better solution for the time being, we decided to bring him here.

But Lele couldn’t skip school every day, so after discussing, we decided it was best to have him attend Jiang University Affiliated Middle School on a guest student status.

Firstly, Jiang University Affiliated Middle School is very close, and Lele can come here to eat every day; secondly, Jiang University Affiliated Middle School is a nationally recognized key high school with reliable teaching quality.

In these past few days, we’ve been busy with the admission procedures, and after much effort, we’ve finally got it sorted out.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yu couldn’t help but silently click his tongue. Jiang University Affiliated Middle School is a key high school ranking high in the province, with a lot of outstanding graduates getting direct admission to top universities like Shuimu and Jing University, and almost half of its graduates gaining admission to key universities in the country.

Getting a guest student spot at such a prestigious high school from out of province is extremely difficult, especially mid-term.

But listening to Liu Shurong’s tone, it seemed like it was just an ordinary little task solved by a few extra days of effort.

The Wu family is no ordinary one!

After ruminating over this, Jiang Yu nodded and smiled, saying:

“Jiang University Affiliated Middle School is indeed very good. With Lele attending there, coming over here won’t be far; it’s just over a twenty-minute walk.”

“Yes, regarding the school, we have no worries.”

Liu Shurong, who must have been concerned over this issue for a long while, breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jiang Yu,

“However, we will have to frequently trouble Boss Xiao Jiang with Lele’s three meals a day.”

Jiang Yu waved his hand with a smile and said:

“It’s no trouble at all, Aunt Liu, no need to be so formal.

Running a dining hall, after all, is about making food.”
