Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 419 - 259: This Is the Flavor, It’s Simply Wonderful

Chapter 419: Chapter 259: This Is the Flavor, It’s Simply Wonderful

Of course, the reason I choose to stay at Jiang University, that’s not the key issue here.

The most important thing is, I really like the environment at Jiang University.

Whether it’s the living environment or the working environment, I like it all."

After hearing Professor Hans’s answer, Professor Qin Zhiyuan was astonished, he opened his mouth wanting to say something more but in the end didn’t say anything.

Since Professor Hans said that, what else could he say?

The other experts and professors sitting in the conference room also found it funny and helpless. This... this answer is truly so "Hans"!

It’s said that foreigners love to beat around the bush, and this is just spot on!

Listen, just listen!

Professor Hans gave such a high-sounding "reason," which, translated, is simply:

"I just like Jiang University!"

Do you admit it or not?!

Shen Wenhe and Jiang Gaozhe exchanged glances again, both seeing the amusement in each other’s eyes. This response from Professor Hans was quite amusing indeed.

Exactly, I’ve already come to Jiang University, and you still ask this question, isn’t that just bothersome?

I just like Jiang University and don’t want to go to other universities, what can you do?!

It’s all just so assertive and straightforward!

"Indeed, the environment at Jiang University is quite nice, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery, just like a park."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the conference room was getting slightly awkward, Professor Qian from Jinling University couldn’t help but chuckle. He turned to look at Dean Shen Wenhe sitting opposite him, and curiously asked,

"Dean Shen, Jiang University’s Seventh Dining Hall has been quite famous this year, even those of us who often hide in labs have heard of its reputation. It’s said that the food there is so delicious that once you take a bite, you won’t want to leave. Is that true?"

"The Seventh Dining Hall is a student cafeteria, and indeed it’s quite popular. However, I always eat at home, so I haven’t tried the food there."

Shen Wenhe glanced at everyone with a smile and said,

"As for whether the food there is truly so good that you won’t want to leave after one bite, I really don’t know, but soon everyone can try it for themselves."

He paused for a moment and couldn’t help but tease,

"Of course, I personally hope it’s true, because if all of you don’t want to leave and end up staying at Jiang University, then our Jiang University School of Life Sciences would really soar!"

As soon as he said this, it immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter, lightening the atmosphere in the conference room.

"Lao Shen, you must be joking, what cook’s food can be so good that once you take a bite you won’t want to leave?"

At this moment, the straightforward Professor Qin Zhiyuan couldn’t help but speak up, pouting,

"You should know, our Huazhong Agricultural University canteen is known as the best university canteen in the country, and even then, I’ve never heard of anyone unwilling to leave because of it.

I really don’t believe that Jiang University’s cafeteria food can be better than our Huazhong Agricultural University’s!"

Once he started speaking, everyone else in the conference room exchanged glances, all with somewhat speechless expressions.

Well, it’s really typical of Lao Qin, even arguing about which school’s cafeteria is better...

Could it be that winning the argument would earn you an extra piece of meat?

On the other side, after listening to him, Shen Wenhe’s smile suddenly froze, and his face began to look unpleasant.

Although he has a good temper, it’s hard to take being belittled in front of everyone again and again.

After all, he’s a dean of a university faculty; doesn’t he deserve a little respect?!

However, before Shen Wenhe could speak, Jiang Gaozhe, sitting next to him, sensed the imminent tension and quickly chuckled and interjected:

"There’s a saying, one man’s honey is another man’s poison. No matter how great a chef is, they can’t cater to everyone’s taste. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Discussing whose cafeteria food is best without considering personal taste is like discussing toxicity without mentioning dosage, it’s all just nonsense."

These words immediately made everyone burst into laughter again.

Seeing this, Jiang Gaozhe discreetly wiped his brow in relief. Thankfully, he didn’t let Shen Wenhe actually lose his temper, otherwise, things could have gotten truly out of hand.

Never mind whether the two would argue, at the very least, the hard-earned academic exchange might not continue.

Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed with Qin Zhiyuan.

How is it that at over fifty, as an old professor, you still have such a strong competitive streak? Comparing universities is one thing, but cafeterias too, it’s just... unbelievable!

He paused for a moment, and seeing the atmosphere in the conference room relax again, he quickly smiled and said:

"Esteemed experts and professors, it’s almost lunchtime, and you’ve all traveled from afar, which must be tiring. Let’s move to Taoyuan Conference Hall for lunch shortly.

Afterward, you can take a rest at Taoyuan Conference Hall, and at 2 PM, our academic exchange activity will officially begin."

With so many people in the conference room, naturally, not everyone is eligible for an invitation.

However, for the arrangements of the attendees, the school went to considerable effort, having already prepared a sumptuous buffet in the cafeteria on the first floor of Taoyuan Conference Hall for everyone to enjoy.

Everyone sat and chatted for a while longer, and soon the School of Life Sciences office director, Qiu Shanghai, arrived to lead the attendees to Taoyuan Conference Hall to prepare for lunch.
