Chef at the University Canteen

Chapter 572 311: Simply Inhuman

Jiang Yu and Lu Shuwu's original plan was to end the beer and barbecue carnival at 10:30 p.m., but plans always fail to keep up with changes. Between delays, it dragged on past 11:00 p.m., and it seemed that if they didn't head back soon, they'd be sleeping on the lawn since the dorms would close soon.

The students, still somewhat reluctant, finally left, taking three steps and looking back twice, and as they left, they shouted to Jiang Yu:

"Senior Brother Jiang, there's more than a month left of summer vacation. Next time, if you hold a similar night event, we will definitely join!"

Jiang Yu responded with a cheerful smile, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, yet it was Lu Shuwu standing by who couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this:

More events? One free event and we gave away one or two hundred boxes of ice-cold beer! And that's not even the main point. The main point is I've been standing here exhausting myself half to death and haven't even eaten a single bite of supper!

The barbecue made by the boss, the spicy snails and spicy crayfish personally fried by the boss, were almost entirely devoured by these student locusts, it's simply infuriating!

No way, even if I can't eat tonight, tomorrow I have to make the boss make up for it, otherwise how am I supposed to cope with the loss?

He hadn't had a chance to "voice his demands" yet when Hu Zhihai, who had been sitting in the corner since the event started, holding a small tray and constantly stuffing things into his mouth, touched his bulging belly and exclaimed with satisfaction:

"Wow, this carnival event is great! So many students came to support us at once, and none of them wanted to leave, which shows we organized this event at just the right time; the students all really like it!

I think, taking advantage of the summer, we could hold more events like this, don't change the theme, just the name and that's OK."

After thinking for a moment, Hu Zhihai continued,

"For example, we could call it the 'Summer Carnival Party', and the content would be similar to tonight's, mainly beer and barbecue, with some other tasty snacks…"

"Fatty Hu, you sure talk big when you're not the one doing the work!"

Before Jiang Yu had a chance to say anything, Lu Shuwu, who was already somewhat resentful for not having eaten the boss-handmade barbecue, couldn't help himself anymore. He glanced at Hu Zhihai with a sneer and said,

"More summer events like this? You have no idea what it's like to stand in front of this barbecue grill all night.

You probably don't understand how much preparation the cafeteria masters need to do before an event like this and how much work needs to be done in advance!

All you do is sit in the corner and keep stuffing your face with goodies.

What now? Is having your fill even not enough, and you're worried about when you can eat again next time?"

Hu Zhihai was taken aback and slightly annoyed; this cafeteria belongs to his friend Jiang Yu, and Jiang Yu hadn't said anything, so what right did a worker have to criticize him?

He was about to retort but suddenly realized that the kid must have stood here all night and didn't get to taste Lao Jiang's barbecue, which is why he's so full of complaints like a resentful widow mourning eighteen years.

In essence, he's just envious, jealous, and hateful of me!

With this thought, Hu Zhihai suddenly wasn't annoyed anymore; instead, he found it amusing and felt a bit playful. He looked at Lu Shuwu with a grin, feigned surprise, and in a playful, coquettish tone, said:

"Xiaowu, you managed to uncover my deeply hidden little thoughts, you're so annoying!"

"..."

Lu Shuwu was dumbfounded to see Fatty Hu pulling off such a disgusting act, pretending to be a coquettish sissy!

After he finished saying those things, he felt a bit regretful, knowing Hu Zhihai better than anyone. From the beginning, when the "Jiang Family Soup Dumpling" shop opened in the first dining hall, Hu Zhihai was there, busy with every preparation. He played a significant role in founding the Seventh Dining Hall and even converting the second floor into "Seventh Room", which is praiseworthy.

Therefore, isn't it normal that Hu Zhihai eats and drinks for free here regularly?

Knowing these things, Lu Shuwu felt that what he said earlier was a bit over the top and was contemplating whether to soften his stance to avoid Fatty Hu getting really angry, which would make the atmosphere awkward.

Who would have thought that the usually hot-tempered Fatty Hu, who never backed down verbally, didn't even get mad this time, but instead… instead pretended to be a coy little girl, pulling off a deliberately disgusting act?

This Fatty's conscience must be bad!

Not only was Lu Shuwu stunned, but even Jiang Yu, who was standing by cleaning up the barbecue grill, was disgusted by Hu Zhihai's antics. He turned his head to glare at Fatty Hu and frowned, saying:

"Lao Hu, if you're so bored, go help clean the cafeteria inside and out, use it to digest your full stomach. We've been busy all night and are still hungry."

"Cleaning up?"

Hearing this, Hu Zhihai couldn't bother teasing Lu Shuwu anymore. He jumped up from the chair, pulled up his pants, and walked out, muttering,

"Lao Jiang, it's getting late, almost 12. I need to hurry back to rest. I have to get up early tomorrow to study for the postgraduate entrance exam. Sigh! This exam is such a grind, there's never enough time!

It's not that I don't want to help; it's just that my energy is limited. I can't afford to be distracted! Anyway, I'll be on my way, no need to see me off!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already opened the kitchen door, and like a gust of wind, he disappeared in no time.

Who knows how such a fat body moves so nimbly...

Jiang Yu and Lu Shuwu were left dumbfounded!

This Fatty Hu, what a scoundrel!

With Hu Zhihai gone, those other students who had also stuffed themselves and let off a lot of stress left reluctantly.

Of course, they were reluctant! Their bellies were full, but their mouths hadn't had enough!

Such delicious barbecue and crayfish, if missed now, where else could they eat it later?

The barbecue and crayfish from barbecue shops and stalls in the city used to taste pretty good, but that was before they had anything to compare!

After tonight, having tasted Senior Brother Jiang's handmade various barbecues, spice snails, and spicy crayfish, how could anyone else's barbecue and crayfish be edible?

It's simply not in the same league!

Sigh! What a mistake, such a mistake!

If they had known, they shouldn't have come to the beer and barbecue carnival. Otherwise, once they left Jiang University and could no longer eat at the Seventh Dining Hall, wouldn't that be more miserable than prison?

What misery!
