"The braised duck feet are so delicious, soft yet chewy, flavorful and tasty, really good!"

"The duck wings are also tasty! The spicy flavor is well absorbed, the meat is firm, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes!"

"Wow! I never used to eat spicy food, but now the more I eat, the more I want. What's going on?"

"..."

After bringing Liu Xining and Xie Siqi into the kitchen, Jiang Yu scooped some steaming hot duck feet and wings from the pot for them to taste first, and then went back to the pantry to get two servings of wontons, intending to leave.

"Hey, boss, um, can I go out for a break?"

He had just reached the door when Lu Shuwu, who was still wrapping wontons, quickly called out.

"Of course you can."

Jiang Yu looked back at Lu Shuwu with some surprise, thinking to himself, why even ask me about this? People who don't know might think I've cast a spell to seal you up.

Upon second thought, he suddenly understood, shook his head, and chuckled,

"When you come out, bring two more servings of wontons. Since we've made them, let's try them ourselves and see if they're any good."

This kid, always speaking in such a roundabout way; if someone were more straightforward, you could beat them and they still wouldn't know what you mean.

"Got it! I'll be right there!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shuwu was so happy he almost jumped up.

Awesome! Not only are there wontons to eat, but braised meat too. If I don't get enough, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight!

Since there was no ready-made chicken broth, Jiang Yu took some chicken jelly from the fridge used for dumplings, which serves the same purpose, as chicken jelly is essentially chicken stock gelled.

After cooking the wontons, Jiang Yu served them into four bowls, sprinkled a little chopped scallion and minced garlic, and added a few drops of sesame oil before placing them on the counter.

Liu Xining and Xie Siqi had just eaten the exceptionally spicy duck feet and wings. Liu Xining was a bit better, as she had grown up eating spicy food and showed no reaction.

But Xie Siqi suffered more, sweating all over, even her hair was wet, her already red lips were swollen from the spice, yet she still continued to shove more duck feet in, tears streaming down her face:

"55555, it's too spicy, I feel like I won't be able to speak for days after I get back, but it's really so good, I can't bear to stop!"

"..."

Jiang Yu was speechless, thinking if it's too spicy, why not soak it in water before eating?

If you can't handle spicy food, why make it hard on yourself?

Jiang Yu placed two bowls of chicken broth wontons without chili in front of Liu Xining and Xie Siqi and said:

"If it's too spicy, don't eat it. Have some chicken soup first; the chicken soup isn't spicy."

When the chicken soup was brought over, Liu Xining had already smelled its rich fragrance. Lowering her head to look, she saw the chicken broth wonton in the clear soup, not at all greasy.

The wontons bobbing in the chicken soup were small and firm, their thin skins almost see-through, barely revealing the pale red filling inside. Floating on the clear broth were a few white or green onion slices, the faint aroma instantly whetting her appetite.

She couldn't resist, took a small spoon, scooped a spoonful of chicken soup, blew on it, and then carefully sipped it, her eyes widening instantly as the soup entered her mouth.

This, this chicken soup is too delicious!

The words fresh and savory aren't enough to describe it; it's simply three words: so damn good!

Liu Xining had always paid attention to her image, so she wouldn't let such crude words slip from her mouth, at most silently shouting in her heart to express her excitement.

On the surface, she still appeared calm, but it was obvious that her pace of drinking the chicken soup had noticeably quickened.

Meanwhile, Xie Siqi had fewer scruples. She couldn't help but exclaim after just one sip:

"Damn! What's in this chicken soup? It's so fresh it'll make my eyebrows fall off! This is just too good!"

"And this wonton is so good it makes me want to cry! Shanghai's little wontons are famous, but they're not even half as good as yours, 55555!"

"It's really too delicious! With my language skills, I can't find the words to express it!"

"Oh well, pity I lack education; one 'damn' travels the world!"

"..."

Jiang Yu and Lu Shuwu, sitting nearby eating wontons, listened to Xie Siqi as if she were doing a solo comedy routine, with every bite accompanied by a comment, leaving them speechless.

You're just sitting here eating, and you can't stop babbling. If you sat and ate with Hu Zhihai, Ma Guoqiang, and others, and kept this up, you'd barely have two bites before everything on the table was gone.

No speaking while eating, no talking in bed.

The old saying still holds true, because if you chat while eating, others will take the opportunity to swipe all the food, leaving you with nothing!

After finishing the chicken soup wontons, seeing that it was getting late, Liu Xining and Xie Siqi prepared to leave.

Originally, they planned to drive back overnight, but the company suddenly notified them of an event in Jing Chu Jiangxia where their presence was needed, so they decided to rest here for the night and have the assistant drive them over in the early morning.

"Junior Brother Jiang, thank you so much for your hospitality today."

As Liu Xining walked out, she smiled slightly and said,

"We have to rush to Jiangxia early tomorrow, so we might not have time to say goodbye. Next time you're in Shanghai, let us return the favor and treat you well."

"Yes, yes!"

Xie Siqi nodded repeatedly beside her, saying earnestly,

"There are plenty of good ingredients in Shanghai, but the good restaurants are too pricey, and I always feel they're not as tasty as your cooking.

"How about this, next time you come to Shanghai, we'll be responsible for buying ingredients, and Junior Brother Xiaojiang will cook. What do you think?"

Jiang Yu: "..."

I haven't even gone to Shanghai yet, and you've already got everything planned out for me?

Good grief!

With you saying that, I actually don't want to go now.

Despite his complaints, Jiang Yu still smiled and said,

"You two are too kind. If I get a chance to come to Shanghai, I'll definitely let you know in advance."

After chatting casually for a bit longer, Liu Xining dragged Xie Siqi back to the hotel to rest.

If she didn't hurry up and drag her away, this girl would probably keep chattering until dawn.

After Liu Xining and Xie Siqi left, Lu Shuwu, who had been standing by with his hand over his mouth, finally let out a big breath, patting his chest and shaking his head with a chuckle, he said:

"This Xie Siqi is too funny. She's not like this in the reality shows I've seen. With a personality like that, can she survive in the entertainment world? Aren't she afraid of getting completely taken advantage of?"

"Maybe this is her true nature? Perhaps she only shows it in front of Liu Xining and us random people?"

Jiang Yu pondered for a moment, then continued,

"Anyway, if she can work her way in the circle, no matter the reason, that's a skill. We outsiders shouldn't worry too much."

"That's true, there's no need for us to worry about that."

Lu Shuwu gave a cheeky smile, his eyes full of gossip as he raised his eyebrows and said,

"I just think, boss, aren't you being too nice to them? A welcoming banquet and even cooking wontons, nobody else gets this kind of treatment..."

"Can't you focus on some serious business?"

Jiang Yu turned to give him a glare, exasperatedly saying, "I entertained them because the school will cover the hospitality costs! Did the others get reimbursed as they did?"

Lu Shuwu: "..."

So that's the kind of boss you are!

Great, I like it!

...

The influence of public figures is immense, especially when they're popular singers, and when it's two of them, the impact is not simply 1+1=2.

When Hua Xiaoling live-streamed on Douyin, showing Liu Xining and Xie Siqi at the Seventh Dining Hall, and Liu Xining even facing the camera saying, "The food at the Seventh Dining Hall is delicious," once spread, countless people found out about the "Seventh Dining Hall" through the video.

Some netizens who hadn't seen the earlier videos asked the "soul-searching question":

"Which dining hall is the Seventh Dining Hall?"

Then a bunch of netizens humorously replied:

"The Seventh Dining Hall is the one ranked seventh."

"The Seventh Dining Hall is the one Xiaohua always praises for its amazing food."

"Look, the Seventh Dining Hall is that hall (doghead)."

"..."

Fortunately, the netizens were just having fun, and soon someone seriously answered:

"The Seventh Dining Hall is our Jiangzhou University's Seventh Student Dining Hall. It's run by our university's fourth-year Senior Brother Jiang. The food is really super delicious, and you have to queue more than half an hour early for each meal; if you go late, you can't even buy food! I am a student of Jiang University! (proudly)"

"Oh wow! Impressive, a fourth-year student can run a dining hall at school, does his family own a mine?"

"The person above is a fool, if he had a mine, who would run a dining hall doing such tiring and dirty work?"

"Just curious, what university is Jiangzhou University? Never heard of this school before!"

"..."

Meanwhile, the edited version of a song performed by a male student at Jiangzhou University's welcome party, a parody of "Difficult Sutra," was also uploaded as short videos onto Douyin.

As the Seventh Dining Hall had already gained some popularity, and with the song coincidentally related to it, the combination pushed the song into the top ten of the trending search list.

"Hahaha, looks like the food at the Seventh Dining Hall is really good, judging from the students' cheers!"

"The food at the Seventh Dining Hall smells great, skipping a meal makes me crave it... This song is making me hungry!"

"Anyone going to Jiang University to try it? Located in Jiangxia, looking to head off tomorrow morning to catch lunch!"

"Me, count me in!"

"Me too!"

"Located at Baki Lake in Tanzhou, setting off at noon tomorrow to catch dinner, stay overnight and return to Tanzhou, anyone interested please contact!"

"Pfft! Gentlemen above, just stop right there, this humble self wishes to join the journey, what's the best way to contact, please leave your WeChat for detailed discussion!"

"Wow, you two are perfect to travel together like ancient people, we won't join the fun."
