"..."

Jiang Yu looked speechless, is this my fault again?

Can I close the dining hall tomorrow?

All the students: No, no! We would rather get fat than lose delicious food!

The opening dance, fortunately, was not long. In just a few minutes, it was over. After the group of girls finished dancing, they even forgot to bow to the audience and hurriedly ran back to the backstage.

Once they returned backstage, more than a dozen miserable and connected plump Latin dancers huddled in a corner, hugging each other and weeping softly. They had never suffered such grievances in their lives; how could they face their classmates and friends in the future?

After venting quietly for a while, a girl raised her head, eyes somewhat swollen, and said fiercely:

"No way, we can't let this slide! We must make Senior Brother Jiang pay!"

Others asked one after another, "Huh? How can we make Senior Brother Jiang pay?"

"Senior Brother Jiang has to cook us a delicious meal to compensate for our mental damage, or else, I won't let this go with him!"

"..."

The others looked at each other, eating more would only make them fatter, right?

Jiang Yu obviously didn't know what was happening backstage. At this moment, he was sitting in his seat, watching the performance on the stage with great interest.

Today's college students are really quite talented. Not only are they proficient in various arts, at least they excel in one area, and the programs at the party were also brilliant, earning rounds of applause from the students below.

After an exciting magic performance ended, the next one was a male solo of "A Challenging Scripture." The singing difficulty of this song is not ordinary; to dare to sing this on stage, this boy is quite brave.

As the prelude began, a boy walked onto the stage with a microphone: "Laughing at you and me for spending all our efforts, loving to compete for the beauty of illusion, fearing that luck will soon pass away, while being obsessed with greed, anger, joy, hatred, and anger..."

As soon as the boy opened his mouth, the students below the stage immediately erupted with screams.

Honestly speaking, the boy's singing skills and stage presence were pretty spot-on, no wonder it made everyone scream.

Jiang Yu also listened intently, this was a memory. Back in the day, to catch "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," he used to sit in front of the TV right after dinner every day.

The boy finished the first half, and when it came to the second half, he suddenly adapted the lyrics:

"The food in the Seventh Dining Hall is fragrant, skip one meal and I'll crave, queue up early every day, even if I gain weight, I don't mind..."

The students below the stage, upon hearing these lyrics, were first stunned, then burst into thunderous cheers. These lyrics were exactly their heartfelt thoughts, the adaptation was fantastic!

"Little bro is amazing!"

"Bro, this song is about me, to snatch food, now I even stopped sleeping in, is it easy for me?"

"This is not 'A Challenging Scripture,' it's the Seventh Dining Hall's 'A Challenging Meal'..."

"..."

Even Liu Xining and Xie Siqi, waiting backstage, couldn't help giving each other a glance and laughing.

This Junior Brother, truly talented!

Liu Xining said, "This Junior Brother is really good, has both singing skills and creative ability. If he wants to pursue a singer's path in the future, maybe it'll work."

"Yes, yes!"

Xie Siqi nodded repeatedly, smiling,

"His lyrics are adapted to be both relevant and funny, quite good! Nowadays, creative singers are in demand.

Speaking of which, Sister Ning, if there's a chance, maybe you could give him a hand."

"We'll see when the time comes; maybe he's just interested as a hobby and doesn't intend to make this a career."

Liu Xining smiled, turning interest into a means of living can be quite painful. However, if he indeed wants to develop in this direction, it's another story.

A few school leaders seated below the stage also looked at each other and smiled afterwards. It was a freshman welcoming party, after all, being fun and lively is what counts, these students are indeed talented.

But all things considered, have we, as school leaders, paid too little attention to this Seventh Dining Hall?

Jiang Yu sat below the stage, utterly dumbfounded; wasn't he here to watch performances?

How did he end up becoming the talk of the town?

Lu Shuwu, on the other hand, laughed like a sly fox, chuckling, "Boss, you're really going to be famous this time!"

Jiang Yu: "..."

This is not about fame at all, okay!

At this time, the students below also seemed to have noticed Jiang Yu and others, and suddenly became excited, shouting loudly:

"Senior Brother Jiang, perform a number!"

Jiang Yu was so startled that cold sweat broke out, he quickly pulled Lu Shuwu, and the two of them bent over and scrambled out of the audience like a puff of smoke.

Are you kidding me, he is tone-deaf, doesn't even recognize simple scores, has never touched any instrument, asking Jiang Yu to perform on stage is purely setting him up for embarrassment, isn't it?

He would never do such a thing, never even think about it!

After being pulled out by Jiang Yu, Lu Shuwu still looked reluctant, muttering:

"I still want to watch Liu Xining and Xie Siqi sing!"

"Well, then go back and keep watching, just find a different seat."

Jiang Yu didn't care, anyway, he was definitely not going back. He said, "I'm heading back to the dining hall first to prepare the wonton filling. When you return, it should be ready to wrap."

"Forget it, forget it, why go back now that we're already out?"

Lu Shuwu said, and then laughed again, "Boss, just wait and see, tomorrow this adapted song will definitely be on Douyin!"

Jiang Yu said casually, "If it goes on, it goes on. We still have to do what we need to do. Just because it's going on Douyin, doesn't mean you don't have to get up early to cook?"

Lu Shuwu: "..."

Boss, talking with you is particularly dull, do you even realize that?

Back at the dining hall, Ma Guoqiang and Jia Dequan had already left, but Yan Tongtong and some other part-timers were still around. Jiang Yu saw them and quickly waved them away:

"It's so late, what are you still doing here? Go home quickly!"

Lu Shuwu also shouted from behind, "By the way, the welcoming party has another hour before it ends. The two stars haven't appeared yet. If you head over now, you should make it in time."

After sending Yan Tongtong and the others home, Jiang Yu and Lu Shuwu went back to the kitchen to start preparing wontons.

The two divided the tasks, Jiang Yu chopped the stuffing and mixed the seasonings, while Lu Shuwu was kneading the dough to make wonton wrappers, keeping them quite busy.

Once Jiang Yu finished preparing the stuffing, Lu Shuwu was still kneading the dough. Seeing him take out duck feet, duck wings, duck neck, and other ingredients, he couldn't help but curiously ask:

"Boss, didn't we say we won't do cold dishes in the morning?"

"Yes, we won't do cold dishes, but we can make hot marinated dishes. We'll marinate them tonight, and just heat the marinade sauce in the morning before selling."

Jiang Yu thought for a moment and added,

"We can also add tofu puffs, dried bean curd, lotus slices, and other vegetarian options in there to give people more choices."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shuwu nodded repeatedly, and suddenly realized, "Hot marinade, that's good. As the temperature drops, everyone wants something warm to eat, hot marinade is nice."

The two got busy again for a while, and once Jiang Yu had marinated the duck feet, duck wings, and duck neck, Lu Shuwu had finished rolling the wonton wrappers. They didn't say much, sat down, and started wrapping wontons.

The wonton stuffing is much less than that of dumplings, so it's faster to wrap them. In just half an hour, the two had wrapped a whole bunch.

Lu Shuwu smelled the aroma of marinated meat wafting continuously from the kitchen, causing him to drool. He was planning on finding an excuse to take a break and sneak over to eat a duck wing to satisfy his craving, when he heard a faint voice coming from the hall:

"Junior Brother Xiaojiang! Are you in there?"

"Boss, it seems someone is looking for you!"

"I heard it."

Jiang Yu was speechless. Who else would call him Junior Brother and shout so freely except Xie Siqi?

Has the welcoming party ended?

Even if it has, according to what Liu Xining said earlier, they should be rushing to the airport by car now, why come here looking for him?

Still wondering, Xie Siqi shouted again:

"Junior Brother Xiaojiang, you must be in there, right? If you don't speak, I'll come in, I'll really come in!"

"Fine, I'll go take a look."

Jiang Yu looked at Lu Shuwu, who was grinning like an idiot, shook his head in resignation, and said, "You better not sneak any marinated dishes, I'm watching you!"

Lu Shuwu: "..."

I just smiled a bit, do you have to target me like this?

Boss, your mind is smaller than a pinhole!

Jiang Yu couldn't be bothered with him, washed his hands, turned, and walked out of the prep room, quickly heading toward the dining hall.

Before he even reached the door, he saw Xie Siqi bending over with her face close to the glass window, her eyes spinning like marbles as she peered inside, while Liu Xining stood there helplessly behind her.

Seeing Jiang Yu come out, Xie Siqi jumped up in delight and said proudly, "Sister Ning, see, I told you Junior Brother Xiaojiang was inside!"

Jiang Yu pushed open the door and walked out, smiling as he greeted, "Senior Sister Liu, Miss Xie, good evening. Has the party ended?"

"Yes, the party's over, Junior Brother Jiang. I really didn't mean to trouble you so late..."

With a bit of apology on her face, Liu Xining said in a low voice,

"However, Siqi kept thinking about the chicken soup wontons you mentioned, so we came to try our luck."

Xie Siqi originally wanted to say something for herself, but was "suppressed" by Liu Xining, so she could only mutter under her breath, low enough that even she could barely hear:

"What do you mean, you clearly wanted to eat, or you wouldn't have followed."

"Ah?"

Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment but quickly regained his composure, feeling bemused. Are celebrities such foodies too?

He said with a smile, "I just wrapped some wontons. If Senior Sister Liu and you want to try some, I can make a little for you."

"Sure, sure, Junior Brother Xiaojiang is the best!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Siqi clapped her hands joyfully.

As for the matter of Liu Xining "suppressing" her earlier, forget it, having good food to eat, being "suppressed" for a moment, what does it matter?

Jiang Yu led the two into the kitchen and directly to the prep room.

Entering the kitchen, they were immediately enveloped by the fragrance of marinated dishes filling the room. Unable to resist, Xie Siqi took several deep breaths and sighed deeply:

"Smells so good, Junior Brother Xiaojiang, are you making marinated dishes?"

"Yes, I'll go have a look in a moment, they should be ready. I'll take some out for you both to try then."

Jiang Yu turned and smiled, thinking since they've already come in, he might as well be generous. If he's going to cook wontons for them, why be stingy with a few marinated dishes?
