With the notes of Lu Jinseng, a master of Xiang Cuisine, plus the blessing of the Gourmet System, Jiang Yu's progress during this period can only be described as rapid.

Especially in terms of knife skills, after he carefully pondered Lu Jinseng's insights and deliberately increased his practice, the progress became even more obvious.

When Jiang Yu first started practicing, not only was he slow, but the radish slices he cut were often of uneven thickness.

But a few days later, his speed picked up, and he could basically slice the radish evenly, with only an occasional piece being too thick or too thin, which was acceptable.

In contrast, Lu Shuwu was much more frustrated.

He watched helplessly as Jiang Yu's knife skills improved rapidly, originally able to comfort himself with his advanced culinary skills:

Jiang Yu's dishes were delicious, but his knife skills were lacking, even inferior to his own.

Now, even this consolation was disappearing, leaving a void in his heart.

This is also why he wasn't willing to practice knife skills with Jiang Yu—

He practiced for ten days or half a month without much progress; yet Jiang Yu seemed to improve every day, who could handle that?

If it weren't for Jiang Yu tempting him with a new dish today, there's no way he would practice with him, even if threatened.

As the two of them occupied either side of the cutting board dedicatedly slicing radishes, with one hand holding the radish and the other hand slicing it rhythmically, Hu Zhihai, who was resting nearby, suddenly shouted:

"Lao Jiang, Teacher Xiong is here!"

"Coming!"

The dense chopping sounds paused, and Jiang Yu quickly put down the knife and the half-cut radish, washed his hands, and walked out briskly.

He was still puzzled in his heart and didn't know what Teacher Xiong wanted with him?

When he arrived at the front, Xiong Bingsheng was sitting by the table chatting with Hu Zhihai. Upon seeing Jiang Yu, he stood up from the chair and said with a smile:

"Boss Xiao Jiang, hope I'm not disturbing you?"

"No, no!"

Jiang Yu quickly waved his hand and hurriedly said, "Teacher Xiong, please have a seat. I'll get you a glass of water!"

"Boss Xiao Jiang, no need for trouble, I just had tea before coming over."

Xiong Bingsheng halted him with a gesture and, with a smile on his face, continued,

"I came here this time mainly to tell you some good news!

Didn't I mention last time about helping you find a larger stall? I've found the place!"

"Really? That's great!"

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

He had long yearned for a larger stall in his heart, where he could do more, whether it be making noodles or stir-fry, there would be enough space to show his skills.

All along, he had thought of Teacher Xiong's words as mere politeness and hadn't held out much hope.

Suddenly hearing that Teacher Xiong had found a large stall, how could he not be happy?

"Teacher Xiong found a suitable large stall?"

Hu Zhihai had heard Jiang Yu mention it once before, but since Jiang Yu hadn't brought it up again, he thought the matter was off the table.

Now hearing Teacher Xiong's words, he too became excited, hurriedly interjecting to ask,

"Which canteen is this large stall located in, the first canteen or the third canteen?

Please don't say it's the fifth canteen, that place is small and remote, hardly anyone goes there!"

Upon hearing this, Xiong Bingsheng's smile suddenly froze, and he didn't know how to continue.

The place he found wasn't a canteen at all, and it was even more secluded than the fifth canteen!

At least the fifth canteen is adjacent to a student dormitory area. Although they are old buildings, students still live there, so the foot traffic isn't too bad.

But the place he found only has an empty stadium nearby, rarely seeing a soul...

How was he supposed to say this?!

Yet since he had already come and spoken, he couldn't avoid it and had to speak up.

After thinking for a while, Xiong Bingsheng forced a smile and said,

"Xiao Jiang, the place I found for you, well, it's not a stall inside a canteen."

"Not a stall inside a canteen?"

Jiang Yu was taken aback, somewhat hesitantly asking,

"Teacher Xiong, does this mean it's a separate shop?"

Besides the canteens, parts of the first floor of some student dormitory buildings along the street had been converted into small shops.

However, these small shops mostly sold clothes, shoes, hats, and small accessories, at most serving as venues for drinks and snacks like milk tea or cupcakes that don't produce smoke.

Opening a breakfast shop, or even a stir-fry restaurant, in these places would be pretty inappropriate.

Which student would want to live above a smoky restaurant every day?

"Yes, you could say that."

Xiong Bingsheng nodded, seemingly noticing Jiang Yu's concerns, and explained with a smile,

"But rest assured, it's definitely not one of those small shops under student dormitories. Even if you want to open a barbecue bar, it won't affect anyone."

"Really?"

Upon hearing "barbecue bar," Hu Zhihai's eyes instantly lit up, and he said with excitement and a broad smile,

"That's great! Lao Jiang, if we move, we can have a barbecue party after closing at night!"

Lu Shuwu, who had been silent since coming out earlier, suddenly spoke up:

"Teacher Xiong, by this reasoning, if opening a barbecue bar doesn't affect anyone, won't it mean the place is rather remote?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Zhihai's smile instantly froze.

Yes, if it weren't a remote place, how could the smoke from a barbecue bar not affect others?

Previously, he had been so caught up in happiness that he hadn't even thought about that!

Damn, Xiaodu had outsmarted him again!

Jiang Yu stayed silent, with a faint smile on his face, quietly looking at Teacher Xiong.

"Ahem, yes, the place is indeed somewhat remote."

Bearing the awkward stares, Xiong Bingsheng internally cursed Niu Wenlin several times over.

Blame it on that unreliable old rascal; he was a waste of the logistics department chief title, couldn't even manage to arrange a large stall but brought such a bad place for him to "deliver"...

He took a deep breath, forcing a smile, and continued,

"A remote location might be fatal for other businesses, but for you, Boss Xiao Jiang, it's no issue at all.

Every dish in your restaurant is delicious. Which of these students isn't clamoring for it? Even if you move to a more remote location, once the word spreads, a large number of students will definitely go there."

These words were indeed true.

Lu Shuwu and Hu Zhihai remained silent, both turning their gaze to Jiang Yu.

After all, Jiang Yu was the boss of the shop, and the decision to move the stall was up to him.

"No matter how much we discuss here, it's still just talk. We don't even know what that place is like."

Jiang Yu glanced at the time and said with a smile,

"Teacher Xiong, if you're not busy right now, why not take us to see the place for ourselves?"
