Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 379 - 249: Junior Brother Xiaojiang, I Really Like You! (2)

Moreover, aren’t they in the fiercely competitive entertainment industry?

If they don’t work hard and strive for progress, they’ll only be swept into the trash heap.

Fiddling with her phone for a while, Xie Siqi couldn’t help but think of Jiang Yu, far away in Jiangzhou.

Previously, Liu Xining had also told her that Jiang Yu had an account on Douyin for "Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall." She wondered how many followers it had accumulated by now.

Thinking of this, she casually opened the Douyin app, watched a few videos, then clicked on the "Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall" account.

"More than 200,000 followers?!"

Just a glance, and Xie Siqi immediately widened her eyes in surprise. Although she knew Jiang Yu’s cooking was delicious, she never imagined that the Seventh Dining Hall would be so popular on Douyin.

200,000 followers might not seem impressive compared to super influencers with millions of followers,

but don’t forget, the Seventh Dining Hall is just a student canteen at a university. Its main clientele are the students, unlike those influencer restaurants with a much larger customer base.

Yet, even so, the Seventh Dining Hall has more than 200,000 followers, and most of them are people from all over the country.

Isn’t that impressive or what?!

"Junior Brother Xiaojiang really has a knack for this!"

After her initial surprise, Xie Siqi couldn’t help but smile.

In her mind, she saw the tall, handsome, refined figure of Junior Brother Xiaojiang. She recalled the fleeting panic and awkwardness on his face when she secretly came out of the box to give him a gift.

Whenever she thought of this, Xie Siqi couldn’t help but chuckle. Isn’t this Junior Brother Xiaojiang just too amusing?

Who would have thought that such a young and handsome guy would be such a skilled chef?

Taking a deep breath, Xie Siqi quickly rid her mind of its wayward thoughts and clicked on a recently updated video.

Just as she clicked, she paused. This wasn’t really a video but a photo collection.

Moreover, the photos weren’t of any dishes or scenery. Judging by the looks, were they some kind of pastries?

Can Junior Brother Xiaojiang make pastries too?

Without overthinking it, she quickly skimmed the "Important Notice" on the photos.

She soon realized the photos must be of Jiang Yu’s Peach Blossom Pastry, made using fresh peach blossoms made into Peach Blossom Sauce, which is then used as the filling!

This... This... Just imagining it makes it seem delicious!

This should be tastier than butterfly pastries, right? It must be!

Butterfly pastries are a Shanghai specialty, crisp and buttery with a distinct creamy flavor, one of Xie Siqi’s favorite pastries.

But while butterfly pastries only look like butterflies, Jiang Yu’s Peach Blossom Pastries genuinely have peach blossoms! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Wuwuwu... These Peach Blossom Pastries must be delicious!"

Just imagining it, Xie Siqi knew these Peach Blossom Pastries must be tasty. Mille-feuille pastries are delicious to begin with. For example, butterfly pastries. If Peach Blossom Sauce were added as a filling to the pastry, how could it not taste good?

Moreover, it’s handcrafted by Junior Brother Xiaojiang!

Could anything made by Junior Brother Xiaojiang’s own hands not be delicious?

Thinking of this, Xie Siqi felt her mouth watering, raising her little hand to wipe her mouth. She couldn’t help but pout and grumble softly,

"Hmph! Silly junior! Made delicious Peach Blossom Pastries without even sending a few to this senior!"

With these thoughts, she casually opened the comments section on the right to see how netizens were reacting.

Would netizens who had never tasted the Seventh Dining Hall’s food be willing to buy if Junior Brother Xiaojiang launched "fan benefits"?

When she opened the comments section, a flood of comments immediately appeared.

"Peach Blossom Pastry? Boss Xiao Jiang has really put in some effort! Picking peach blossoms to make Peach Blossom Sauce and then using it as filling for pastries, this process is exceptionally complex! Just for this alone, I have to buy a box to show support!"

"Pfft! Fellow up there, are you underestimating Boss Xiao Jiang’s influence? Do you think just a hundred Peach Blossom Pastries are enough to go around? I’m afraid they’ll be sold out in less than a second once they’re launched! Seriously, don’t support so actively; that’s just one less competitor for us!"

"Hahaha! Boss Xiao Jiang has truly figured it out! Making more food suitable for shipping to sell online allows those who can’t eat in-store to taste it too! I hope this Peach Blossom Pastry is just the start, and there’ll be more flavors in the future. Boss Xiao Jiang, keep it up!"

"To be upfront, these Peach Blossom Pastries aren’t exactly friendly to us diabetics! Boss Xiao Jiang, shouldn’t you make some sugar-free ones to compensate for us special groups?"

"A quick question, isn’t there a difference between cooking and making pastries? Everything Boss Xiao Jiang makes is said to be tasty, but can someone who has tried the Peach Blossom Pastry confirm if it’s really good?"

"I’m a student at Jiang University, and I’ve tried it! To be honest, this Peach Blossom Pastry is truly a delightful treat. Take a bite, and the flaky bits fall everywhere—it’s just so delicious!"
