Since the last time he tried the soup dumplings and hot and sour soup at Jiang Yu's shop, Boss Zhao has been thinking about when he could eat there again.

This time, he received another invitation to "try the flavor" from Jiang Yu, and it was for a new dish, chopped pepper fish head, so he was naturally delighted.

If Boss Xiao Jiang's soup dumplings are that good, how delicious must his chopped pepper fish head be?

With anticipation in his heart, Boss Zhao even ate two fewer bowls of rice than usual at lunch, just to save room for the delicacies at Boss Xiao Jiang's shop.

Finally, he waited until 1 p.m., and hurriedly loaded the prepared chili peppers, ginger, and garlic onto his tricycle, then picked a lively big fish from the tank, preserved it with ice, and put it on the tricycle as well.

Then, Boss Zhao also took two jars of his homemade chopped peppers, and excitedly headed towards Jiangzhou University on his tricycle.

The market isn't far from Jiangzhou University, and after a ten-minute ride, he slowly parked the tricycle at the entrance of the second canteen.

"Boss Zhao, you're right on time!"

After receiving Boss Zhao's call, Jiang Yu called Lu Shuwu and Hu Zhihai, and the three of them came out together to help move the ingredients.

"Hehe, I was just worried I'd delay your cooking!"

Boss Zhao chuckled and pointed to the big fish on the tricycle,

"I'm keeping the fish fresh with ice, but with such hot weather, you should take it in immediately. If it dies, it won't be long before it spoils."

"Holy crap! Another big fish!"

Before Jiang Yu could speak, Hu Zhihai came over for a look and immediately exclaimed with joy in his tone,

"Lao Jiang, is it chopped pepper fish head we're having later?

Ever since I had it last time, I've been dreaming of eating it again every day. You're really too nice!"

Although Lu Shuwu wasn't as exaggerated as Hu Zhihai, he couldn't hide the smile on his face, obviously quite happy.

"Alright, alright, enough nonsense. The sun is so hot outside, let's quickly move everything from the tricycle back inside."

Listening to Hu Zhihai's words, Jiang Yu got goosebumps all over and couldn't help but shiver, waving his hand hurriedly,

"If you want to eat chopped pepper fish head, then move quickly!"

"Okay, just watch us!"

As Hu Zhihai spoke, he grabbed the big fish and jogged towards the canteen.

"This chubby guy knows how to pick the best!"

Lu Shuwu muttered softly, shouldering the bag of chili peppers and walking off quickly.

Jiang Yu didn't stand idle either, picking up the remaining ginger and garlic in each hand as he walked back, chatting with Boss Zhao:

"Boss Zhao, it's too hot outside, why not come inside and take a seat first."

"Okay, okay."

Boss Zhao carried the two big jars of chopped peppers he brought from home and followed them into the second canteen.

Back at the shop, Jiang Yu put the chili peppers, ginger, and garlic to one side, cleaned the fish in the sink, and began to work on it.

By the time he steamed the fish head, the bun shop had already closed, and despite a busy afternoon, Yan Tongtong and the others couldn't contain their excitement, gathering around the stove to eagerly watch the enticingly aromatic chopped pepper fish head.

After taking the chopped pepper fish head out of the pot and setting it aside, Jiang Yu sprinkled some steamed fish soy sauce and chopped spring onions over it, then heated oil and poured it over the onions.

With the sizzling sound, the spicy, salty, savory aroma mixed with the scent of fish, instantly filled the entire shop.

The people in the shop had breakfast around six in the morning, and having worked for most of the day, they were starving. The sudden waft of fragrance made everyone's mouths water, and stomachs started growling louder and louder.

Although Boss Zhao had lunch not long ago, he couldn't resist the tempting aroma either, swallowing a few mouthfuls and feeling secretly thrilled:

"This chopped pepper fish head, just from the smell, is something special. It's really worth tasting today!"

"What's that smell so good?"

In the cafeteria hall, Duan Yiming was sitting in a corner eating soup dumplings. Midway, he suddenly stopped, sniffing hard.

"What smell?"

Sitting across from him, Deng Linhui also paused, sniffed, looking puzzled,

"Do you have a dog's nose or something? I didn't smell anything delicious."

He Xiaowei chuckled and said, "Could it be the shop owner making something tasty?"

"Most likely!"

Duan Yiming sighed.

There was something happening in their company today, which made them arrive a bit late. The drool chicken was limited in quantity, so naturally, they didn't get any, and could only satisfy their cravings with some soup dumplings and hot and sour soup.

He took a sip of the hot and sour soup, smacked his lips, and said,

"We must hurry to help that little shop relocate, you see, Boss Xiao Jiang can make so many dishes, but he's limited by the shop and staff, and can only sell some dumplings, hot and sour soup. Even the drool chicken is limited in quantity.

If he had a big enough shop and enough staff, we would have a different delicious dish every day!

Don't you want to taste what real top-notch cuisine is like?"

...

Boss Zhao, who saved his appetite, still ended up eating too much.

There's no way around it, anyone coming here would end up overeating because Boss Xiao Jiang's dishes are so delectable.

After resting in the shop for a while and feeling a bit more comfortable in his stomach, Boss Zhao got up to say goodbye.

"Boss Xiao Jiang, with your excellent cooking skills, running such a small shop in the university canteen is a real waste."

As Jiang Yu escorted him out, Boss Zhao seemed to have mulled it over for some time, finally saying,

"If you're willing, I can help you set up a restaurant in the city. With your skills, within a year, it'll certainly become the most successful and reputable restaurant in Jiangzhou!

Consider this money as either a loan or investment, it's up to you!

I genuinely don't have any other intentions, just feel it's a pity to see you stuck here."

Boss Zhao's words were probably from the bottom of his heart, spoken with exceptional sincerity.

Although Jiang Yu didn't have this idea, he couldn't disregard the goodwill, so he replied with a smile:

"Thank you, Boss Zhao, for your trust and support, but I haven't graduated yet, so let's keep it as it is for now. Once I graduate, if I really consider opening a shop, I'll definitely ask for your help."

"Alright, alright! Then that's settled."

Boss Zhao, being a shrewd man, obviously understood the implied meaning behind Jiang Yu's words.

Graduation or not, he's already a senior. Starting a business after school is pretty normal, isn't it?

It's just that Jiang Yu was being considerate of his feelings, not directly refusing him.

With this realization, Boss Zhao felt regretful,

"This kid is loyal, just a bit stubborn.

But then again, his cooking is genuinely top-notch!"
