That’s real skill!
Liu Xining suddenly felt very fortunate that she had once been a student at Jiang University; otherwise, how could she have t such an extraordinary person like Jiang Yu?
After calming the excitent in her heart, she continued,
"Chenchen told yesterday that the tomato stew with oat noodles and small fish you made tasted like her grandmother’s cooking.
Did you know? She once told that her grandmother’s tomato stew with oat noodles and small fish was the best food in the world!
It shows just how highly she regards your dish!"
"Is it the little fish from last night?"
Before Jiang Yu could say anything, Xie Siqi, who was following behind, also joined in, looking at Liu Xining and Jiang Yu with curiosity. With an exaggerated expression, she said,
"That little fish was really delicious, so smooth and tender, a bit sour too. I ate it all as soon as I got ho!"
Then her face changed again, and she added with a bitter expression,
"But I ate too much, my stomach felt bloated, and I couldn’t sleep all night because I kept tossing and turning."
"You, you don’t know moderation at all! I told you not to eat so much at midnight, but you just wouldn’t listen!"
Liu Xining glared at Xie Siqi and said angrily, "You’ll regret it when you beco as round as a ball!"
Xie Siqi’s face fell, and she said feebly, "Alright, I’ll eat less today then!"
Before they could say much more, Jiang Yu led them through the side door of the Seventh Dining Hall’s kitchen.
At the mont, the chefs in the kitchen were busy sending various breakfast items like hot dishes, soup dumplings, and spring rolls to the serving area. The air was filled with the tempting aroma of food, making those who hadn’t had breakfast even hungrier.
Xie Siqi’s eyes lit up, and she exclaid repeatedly,
"Wow! Fried spring rolls, and spring pancakes! Is that hot stew? Slls so good, yum! I’m practically drooling!"
Liu Xining, seeing her like this, shook her head helplessly. Despite her earlier statent about eating less today, judging by her foodie deanor, she’d probably eat more than last night!
Jiang Yu said, "Don’t worry, let take you to the private dining room first. You can order whatever you want, and I’ll have it brought over."
Xie Siqi nodded satisfactorily: "Junior brother, you’re so considerate, perfect! You have a bright future ahead!"
Once inside the private room, closing the door instantly blocked out the crowd noise from the dining hall outside. The tranquility of the private room eased Liu Xining’s tense nerves. She let out a relaxed breath and said with a smile,
"We originally planned to grab sothing simple from the ground floor ourselves, but it’s still so early, and there are already so many students here. Looks like everyone loves the food at the Seventh Dining Hall!"
"Not too bad. After all, this place is a bit far from the student dorms and even further from the teaching buildings, so many students aren’t willing to get up early in the morning."
Jiang Yu chuckled and asked,
"We have quite a variety for breakfast. What would you like? I’ll have the server bring it over."
Before Liu Xining could answer, Xie Siqi stood up abruptly, her face full of anticipation, and said:
"I’ve heard the soup dumplings here are delicious; we must have so soup dumplings!"
"Okay, what else?"
"Hot stew, so of both at and vegetable, and spring rolls, as I just saw."
Xie Siqi tilted her head, furrowing her brows as if trying to recall sothing. Suddenly, her eyes brightened, and she said excitedly,
"Oh, oh, and porridge! I want longan lotus seed eight-treasure porridge!"
Jiang Yu looked at Liu Xining and asked, "And you, Sister Ning?"
"Siqi, you’ve ordered so much; how can one person finish it all?"
Liu Xining shook her head helplessly and then said to Jiang Yu,
"Just like Siqi, none of us are picky eaters; we’re fine with anything.
Order for us the amount for five people, but don’t bring too much. If we’re not full, we can order more; ordering too much would be a real waste."
"Okay, Sister Ning, wait a mont, breakfast will soon be delivered."
Jiang Yu smiled at Liu Xining, turned, opened the private room door, and walked out.
Soon, three part-ti students ca in with various breakfast items, filling the dining table to the brim.
"Wow! These soup dumplings are so pretty! Sister Ning, look! You can see the soup inside the dumplings moving; they look so delicious!"
As soon as the server left, Xie Siqi couldn’t wait to place a basket of soup dumplings in front of her. She chatted away while picking up a dumpling with her chopsticks and placing it in her bowl, then leaned in to take a small bite.
At this mont, her expression changed!
She didn’t even want to waste ti talking, bent her head down, and began eating large mouthfuls.
Liu Xining saw this unfolding and couldn’t help but frown. This girl’s behavior was a bit odd!
Whenever she previously ate sothing delicious, she’d chirp away like a little bird. But now, after having a taste of the soup dumplings, she beca silent.
Was it really so delicious, or not delicious at all?
With so doubt, Liu Xining also took a soup dumpling, bit into it, and then gently sucked in, sending a stream of rich, savory soup bursting into her mouth, making her expression freeze.
Then she beca just like Xie Siqi, not caring to say anything further, and bent down to eat silently.
