"Tsk tsk, the dining hall at Jiang University is really sothing else. Instead of hosting events when the school starts, they choose to do it during sumr vacation when most students are off campus. Is that brainless thinking?"
"It is rather strange, but looking at the lively and bustling scene of the event, there are quite a few students staying on campus during the sumr at Jiang University. Look at this vast dining hall, it's packed with people inside and out!"
"Such a pity that we're not in Jiangzhou, otherwise I'd definitely rush over to join in the fun and taste the legendary cooking skills of Jiang University's chef. I heard that any food prepared by Jiang University's chef is delicious no matter what it is. Just thinking about it makes drool!"
"You're overthinking it. Even if we were in Jiangzhou, it wouldn't matter if we weren't students at Jiangzhou University. No outsiders, no matter how hard they try, can get through Jiang University's gates!"
"Hehe, what you said upstairs makes feel better. It turns out that those worse off than us are actually the locals in Jiangzhou who can sll the aroma but can't taste the food. How torturous that must be!"
"..."
The netizens watched the lively and fiery event videos with envy, chatting idly in the comnt section.
Jiang University's Seventh Dining Hall chose to host events during the sumr, and while it's sowhat odd, they must have their reasons.
It's just that Jiang University's students seem a bit too fortunate, having such lively and interesting activities to participate in even during sumr vacation. Plus, they get to eat the barbecue and snacks personally made by Jiang University's chef. It's impossible not to feel jealous and envious.
Netizens outside Jiangzhou talk about it, but most just see it as entertainnt, with only a slight feeling of envy. After all, no matter what, they cannot easily enjoy the food from the Seventh Dining Hall.
But students staying on campus at other colleges in Jiangzhou have much stronger and more complex feelings upon seeing the events held by Jiang University's Seventh Dining Hall.
"Wuwuwuwu, our school is not far from Jiang University, and the aroma of the Seventh Dining Hall's barbecue wafts to our campus! It's so pitiful that even if we want to eat, we can't!"
"This is what they call a university of others. Comparing it to ours, I suddenly feel like I'm attending a fake university!"
"Sigh, knowing this earlier, I should've applied to Jiang University. Then I wouldn't be stuck now watching others having such a fun sumr. Regret cos too late!"
"No need to regret. I'm also in my fourth year, preparing for graduate exams at school. I was initially aiming to study in Shanghai, but now I've decided to apply to Jiang University for postgraduate studies. Just for one reason, to eat the Seventh Dining Hall's food every day!"
"Good idea, your comnt upstairs has made tempted!"
"..."
Students staying at other universities in Jiangzhou seem to be provoked, posting comnts filled with undeniable envy.
Think about it, everyone is in Jiangzhou during sumr, staying at school, preparing for graduate exams or civil service tests, so everyone should be equally miserable!
Why is it that Jiang University students get to have a more enjoyable and delicious sumr compared to students staying at other colleges?
It's one thing for the Seventh Dining Hall to remain open during sumr, but they even host a beer and barbecue carnival. Not to ntion the free beer, Senior Brother Jiang from Jiang University even personally grills barbecues at the event!
It's infuriating!
The most resentful thing is that they're in the sa city and yet can't go inside Jiang University to join the students, just like those out-of-towners, watching enviously on their phones through video live streams.
This is what's most frustrating!
Since their own school's dining hall can't hire a chef like Jiang Yu, they might as well apply to Jiang University for postgraduate studies. Once they beco Jiang University students, they will have access to the Seventh Dining Hall's food daily!
When that ti cos, it won't be envy towards others, but others envying them!
Jiang University Students: Please, be reasonable and don't flood to apply for graduate studies at Jiang University. If too many people apply, it'll indirectly increase our difficulty in passing the exams!
Jiang Yu probably didn't expect that by casually deciding to hold a beer and barbecue carnival during sumr, this ordinary little action could potentially spark a craze for applying to Jiang University for graduate studies.
Of course, Jiang Yu is unaware of all this and wouldn't mind even if he knew.
If a single event at the Seventh Dining Hall leads countless people to apply for Jiang University's graduate programs, then it certainly did a good deed for optimizing the school's applicant pool.
The beer and barbecue carnival at the Seventh Dining Hall, though it caused quite the stir, didn't last for long. After a day or two of envy, netizens moved on to other matters.
However, since the carnival, the Seventh Dining Hall that had originally been crowded during al tis now seems to have even more people coming to eat every day, growing day by day.
Without needing to guess, many of these additional attendees are current students who initially chose to leave campus for the sumr for various personal reasons.
After leaving, many had already started missing the Seventh Dining Hall's food and were hesitating about returning early. Now, upon realizing they missed such a grand event while away, they're full of regret.
Therefore, apart from those who genuinely can't co back due to pressing matters, the rest didn't want to wait even a single day and packed their luggage to rush back to campus early the next morning.
They have no choice but to return; the food at the Seventh Dining Hall is just too delicious. After getting accustod to all the various delicacies there, outside food rely fills the stomach without stirring any appetite.
If not for the fear of starving, they wouldn't even want a single bite!
With more people coming for als, the ones suffering naturally are Lu Shuwu and the chefs and apprentices at the Seventh Dining Hall, as the amount of food they need to prepare increases again.
"Brother Xiao Wu, there seem to be more people coming to eat today. It's just past noon, and several dishes are almost sold out!"
"Rice is running out, rice is running out! Quickly steam so more rice!"
"The chilled sour plum soup prepared for lunch is also nearly gone. What should we do? Should we use the dinner supply to cover the shortage?"
"..."
"Lao Qian, you all stop whatever you're doing, quickly fry so dishes and serve them. We can't let the students have no dishes to eat! Use the sour plum soup prepared for dinner as an ergency covering; we'll make more in the afternoon!"
Lu Shuwu, drenched in sweat, stood in front of the steaming stove, cooking while loudly organizing the kitchen, overwheld and busy.
And Jiang Yu, in the small kitchen of Room 7 on the second floor, was also equally busy and in full swing...
