Food: Senior year internship, you take over the university cafeteria

Chapter 23 Real Gourmet Food

Although the old man spoke of it casually, he mentioned having "fought the Japanese invaders and reactionaries," "traveled all over the country," and "was transferred back to work in the south"—

Behind these few short sentences lies a magnificent life story.

This old man is probably a retired veteran or cadre.

"Grandpa, I'm glad you're happy. It's also what I'm striving for that everyone, especially elders like you, can taste the flavors of their memories."

Finally, Wang Sheng said sincerely.

The old man smiled and said nothing more. He slowly finished the food in his hand, even carefully picking up and eating the sesame powder that had fallen on the oil paper.

After finishing his meal, he stood up, nodded to Wang Sheng, and said, "Young man, keep up the good work. Keep up the skill and the taste."

After saying that, he turned around, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked out of the cafeteria, his figure disappearing into the morning light.

Wang Sheng watched him leave.

The power of food truly transcends time, connecting memories and emotions.

In Wang Sheng's view.

That's the greatest significance of food.

It not only makes people feel that it tastes delicious and enjoyable when they taste it.

It also allows people to taste it again.

My mind immediately conjured up the wonderful experience I had last enjoyed like this.

Just like food has a story.

This is the attitude of an old revolutionary.

This added a bit more "story" to Wang Sheng's fried dough sticks and glutinous rice cakes.

Of course, this is Wang Sheng's own opinion.

He had no way of knowing what the other chefs were thinking.

He feels he has gained a lot.

It's more effective than simply praising how delicious it is.

Praising him as a culinary master is far more meaningful!

Just then, another person walked in through the cafeteria entrance.

Dressed in a well-fitting suit, black stockings and high heels, and gold-rimmed glasses, it was Principal Gu Lingyi.

She seemed to be conducting a routine inspection, her gaze habitually sweeping over each window, finally settling on the busiest window, number 07, and—

The old man in gray who had just walked to the door and crossed paths with her.

Gu Lingyi paused, a clear look of surprise on her face. She then quickly stepped forward, her tone respectful yet subtly friendly: "Old Chen? What brings you here? You've returned to Jinling? Why didn't you let me know?"

Old Mr. Chen smiled when he saw Gu Lingyi, his expression very kind: "Oh, it's little Gu. I came to see my grandson and, by the way—to try the delicious food in the cafeteria. Hmm, not bad, this kid from your school has excellent cooking skills."

He pointed in Wang Sheng's direction.

Gu Lingyi followed the gaze and saw Wang Sheng looking over as well. She nodded slightly to Wang Sheng, then said to Old Chen, "You flatter me. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Would you like—"

"I've already eaten, that's the one I ate."

Old Chen waved his hand, "The taste is just right. I have something to attend to, so I'll be going now. Xiao Gu, you go ahead with your work."

"Then I'll see you off."

"No need, no need, you're busy with your work," Old Chen insisted, glancing at Wang Sheng's window one last time before slowly leaving.

Gu Lingyi watched Old Chen walk away before turning and heading towards window number 07.

The students in line automatically made way for each other.

"Hello, Principal!"

"Principal Gu!"

Gu Lingyi smiled and nodded to the students, but did not walk directly to the window.

I decided to line up like my classmates.

Wait until Gu Lingyi arrives at the head of the table.

Wang Sheng quickly greeted, "Good morning, Principal Gu."

"Good morning." Gu Lingyi looked at the new products on the blackboard, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

"Fried dough sticks with mochi? Is that what Old Chen just ate?"

"Yes, Principal, the sesame sugar powder version."

"Give me one to try too, it's also sesame and sugar powder."

"Okay!"

Wang Sheng personally wrapped one portion and handed it to Gu Lingyi.

Gu Lingyi took it and took a graceful bite.

Crispy, soft, and sweet, it melts in your mouth, and her slender eyebrows lift slightly.

I never expected that Wang Sheng not only makes delicious xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).

They're also quite skilled at making fried dough sticks and glutinous rice cakes.

Simply getting a chef's certificate won't have the same effect.

That's talent!

Sure enough, studying doesn't work! Other things will!

"good."

She nodded as she commented, "It's a little better than the previous 'okay': 'The taste is very unique, a fresh way to eat traditional snacks. If even Old Chen said it's good, then it really is.'"

As she spoke, she gave Wang Sheng a meaningful look.

Wang Sheng understood that Old Chen's identity was probably extraordinary, and gaining his approval was undoubtedly a great endorsement of the window's quality.

This also indirectly made the principal pay more attention to it.

After all, we don't know when Old Chen will come to eat again...

After finishing her meal, Gu Lingyi didn't linger. She simply said, "Keep it up," and then left.

She also had to accompany Mr. Chen on a stroll around the campus—although Mr. Chen said it wasn't necessary, how could she really let the old man walk alone?

The busy work at the window continues.

With the help of Zhao Gang and the other two, efficiency improved significantly, and the team's processing speed increased markedly.

Wang Sheng was able to focus more on the core cooking process.

He noted that the pork floss and seaweed flavored mochi were also popular, especially among students who liked to try new flavors.

The number of positive reviews for the mochi and meatball soup is steadily approaching one hundred.

【New Product 3: Golden Jade Abundance Set Meal (Fried Dough Sticks Wrapped in Mochi) with Pork Floss and Seaweed】Received 127/1000 genuine positive reviews.

We're not far from completing the task of introducing new products!

Time flies. Around nine o'clock in the morning, the last serving of mixed rice noodles was sold, and the last fried dough stick took away the last mochi.

The window was cleared again.

After seeing off the last customer who was still eager to continue the conversation, Wang Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief.

Zhao Gang and the other two were exhausted, but their faces were flushed with excitement.

"Senior, today was so exciting! I never imagined selling breakfast could be this busy!"

Zhao Gang said while wiping the table.

"Senior, I've almost mastered that POS system. I can get it done faster tomorrow!"

Lin Xiaowen reports.

"Senior, could you soak a little more glutinous rice for the mochi tomorrow? It seems like we won't have enough to sell," Li Dali suggested.

As Wang Sheng listened, he quickly calculated today's revenue.

When the final number appeared, even he was surprised.

Today's total revenue: 15873 yuan!

It broke the highest record since the opening!

It jumped straight to 15,000!

I made 15,000 yuan in a single day!

Four hundred thousand a month —

A year is —

This is probably something the parents never thought they could do.

This is several months' salary for my parents.

I have this kind of income.

That way, parents won't need to work overtime every day anymore.

This can slow down the rate at which your parents' hair turns gray.

The speed at which the spine begins to bend —

Wang Sheng's confidence in rewriting his family's life is gradually growing!

This increase is partly due to the new products, and partly due to Zhao Gang and his team's help in improving efficiency and increasing the number of customers they can receive.

The profits are quite substantial!

He took out the cash he had prepared and gave two hundred yuan to each of Zhao Gang, Li Dali, and Lin Xiaowen.

"You've worked hard today! This is the agreed-upon reward."

"Don't thank me yet."

Wang Sheng said seriously, "The salary remains the same as before; it's only known to a select few of us, and we mustn't disclose it to anyone else. Also, the three of you can't come every day; you'll always have classes or other commitments. Therefore, I need your help to find one or two more equally reliable individuals..."

Students who can get up early, have energy, and are discreet can take turns with you. Same requirements, same pay. Do you have any candidates?
