Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 317 - 233: When Cuisine Meets Art, It’s More Than Just the Palate That’s Amazed

After hurriedly finishing breakfast, Zhu Youfeng grabbed his books and rushed off to class.

Luo Xiaoyu, on the other hand, picked up his backpack and headed to the lakeside behind the library, found a clean spot to sit down, and took out his smartphone to check out the comments under the "Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall" account on social media, while waiting for eight o’clock to arrive.

The latest update from "Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall" was posted last night.

This update didn’t contain any new content, just a reminder to everyone that today (Monday) at 8 AM, the restaurant reservation app will officially open for reservations, hoping everyone won’t miss the time.

Even though it was just a reminder, the enthusiasm of the netizens was extremely high, and they all left comments in the comment section.

"After waiting so long, finally Monday’s here again, hahaha, this time I’m sure I’ll get a reservation!"

"It’s awesome to use the app to grab a reservation. With my nearly thirty years of hand speed practice, I’m certain I can snatch a private room this time!"

"Sigh! It’s really tough to try the food from Dining Room Seven. I’ve tried to book several times and never got through, it’s really frustrating!"

"Don’t be upset, the commenter above, after all, you won’t get a reservation this time either..."

"..."

Reading these comments, Luo Xiaoyu couldn’t help but laugh out loud; these netizens are really hilarious.

Of course, you can also see from these comments that a lot of people genuinely want to taste the food from Dining Room Seven. It’s just that there are too few private rooms and too many people trying to book, so only a small handful get the chance.

Thinking about this, Luo Xiaoyu felt very fortunate. Luckily, he chose Jiangzhou University; otherwise, how would he have the chance to taste the dishes made by Senior Brother Jiang?

It’s not just him; every student and teacher at this school would probably feel lucky, right?

To keep this luck going, many students at the school have started working harder, filling the campus with a positive and competitive studying atmosphere.

Even Luo Xiaoyu, now only in his sophomore year, is already preparing all kinds of materials for graduate school exams, and he has started studying compulsory subjects like foreign languages in advance. Even if he can’t stay in school on recommendation, he will strive to pass the national exam and get into his current school’s graduate program.

The purpose of attending graduate school, besides continuing to enjoy the food made by Senior Brother Jiang, is more importantly about becoming a better version of himself.

Only by becoming better can he be worthy of a better future; and only with a better future can he have a better life.

Just as Luo Xiaoyu was thinking about all this, his smartphone suddenly rang out with a "beep beep beep" sound. He snapped back to reality and realized it was his alarm ringing.

The time was already 7:55 AM. In just 5 minutes, the private rooms for Dining Room Seven would officially start accepting reservations!

After turning off the alarm, he hurriedly exited the social media app and swiftly opened the reservation app for the "Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall."

Maybe there were too many people online at the moment, but Luo Xiaoyu felt like the app wasn’t as smooth as before; it kept pausing.

His heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Oh no," if the app’s slow response time makes him miss out on a reservation, that would be a real pain.

Time passed slowly, a short five minutes felt like a month’s eternity.

After a while, with only 15 seconds left until 8 AM, Luo Xiaoyu began to refresh the reservation page nervously. Once the page refreshed, his eyes lit up when he saw the reservation button in the center of the page light up!

Without thinking, Luo Xiaoyu reached out his finger and pressed the reservation button hard—

"Dear, we’re really sorry! The private rooms have all been booked. Better luck next time!"
