Chef at the University Canteen

Chapter 218: Enjoying Delicious Food Is a Source of Happiness (Part 4)


"Oh, really?"

Professor Hans looked surprised. From what he knew, many Huaxia students have always considered studying the most important path in life.

It's hard to imagine a university student running a dining hall at school, but not only has he managed it, he also became a chef himself and even surpassed many experienced chefs!

That's truly remarkable.

Culinary arts are not just a skill but also an art.

It's one thing for a dish to taste good, but chefs also need to understand a bit of artistry, being able to arrange dishes into enticing plates, or use simple ingredients or scraps to piece together beautiful patterns.

This level can't be achieved overnight. Both Huaxia and Western chefs need to spend a considerable amount of time practicing to reach it.

Therefore, Professor Hans suddenly became interested in this "student of our school" that Vice Principal He was talking about.

He nodded slightly and said with a smile,

"Huaxia cuisine is renowned worldwide; it's a part of Huaxia's brilliant culture. In fact, I'm not only fascinated by Huaxia's ancient culture, but also by Huaxia cuisine. After hearing you, I'm quite eager to try it!"

"Hahaha! Don't worry, Professor Hans. Soon you will be able to experience the unique charm of Huaxia cuisine!"

Vice Principal He couldn't help but burst into laughter, he said,

"I believe that once you taste it, you definitely won't forget the wonderful flavors of Huaxia cuisine!"

Professor Hans was also beaming, saying, "Oh, I'm really looking forward to it!"

Internationally, the three recognized culinary kingdoms are Huaxia, France, and Ottoman, while Sun Never Sets is well-known as a "culinary desert."

It's called a "culinary desert" because Sun Never Sets not only lacks in ingredients but also has extremely simple cooking methods.

In terms of ingredients, vegetables are basically just potatoes and peas, while meat is mainly beef. The best staple is bread with jam.

Regarding cooking methods, there's basically only cold dishes, boiled, and grilled, which can't compare to the diverse frying and sautéing of Huaxia cuisine.

Simple cooking methods, coupled with lacking ingredients, naturally result in dishes that don't taste very good. Many tourists coming back from Sun Never Sets say just one sentence: Sun Never Sets' dishes are truly awful.

There's a joke online that says:

Huaxia cuisine and French cuisine are tied for first in the world, all other countries' cuisines are tied for second, and Sun Never Sets cuisine holds third place all alone.

This joke illustrates people's feelings about the local cuisine of Sun Never Sets.

Of course, just because Sun Never Sets cuisine isn't delicious doesn't mean Sun Never Sets people don't like good food. Just like Professor Hans here, after hearing Vice Principal He's introduction, his blue eyes were practically glowing green.

The group entered the Seventh Dining Hall's doors, went up the stairs to the second floor, where Vice Principal He led Professor Hans and a few other teachers into a large private room, while the students went into another one.

Not long after they sat down, Jiang Yu, who had already been informed, arranged for the dishes to be served.

Since it's a feast, naturally the first dishes served were cold plates. Several waiters acted together, placing exquisitely arranged, colorful cold dishes on the table, leaving Professor Hans and the other visiting teachers all dumbfounded.

Are these really dishes to eat? Are you sure they're not art pieces?

They had eaten Huaxia cuisine before; there are Huaxia restaurants in Sun Never Sets too, but suddenly they felt that what they had eaten at those Huaxia restaurants were fake Huaxia dishes?

This plating is just too exquisite!
