Chapter 503 - 280: Is the Food at the Seventh Dining Hall Really That Good, or Is It Just Hype?_2
It’s a pity that he guessed the beginning but didn’t foresee the ending. Who knew he would suddenly fall ill right before the college entrance exam?
Now Teacher He brought up Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall, proposing to take the students to visit Jiang University and taste the delicacies there...
What’s the meaning of this?
After a slight thought, he understood.
Teacher He must have received "benefits" from Jiang University, taking students to visit the university just to persuade them to choose Jiang University when filling out their applications in a few days.
He had seen a lot of such things online.
Thinking about it, he instantly lost interest. Although Jiang University is a "Double First-Class" construction university and a "211 Project" key university, outside the province, many people haven’t heard of it. Compared to other key universities, its reputation isn’t that strong.
Besides, if one can go to a key university in a first-tier city in another province, who would want to stay locally?
The world is so big, who wouldn’t want to go out and see it?
So, during these days of considering his application choices, he never included Jiang University in his plans at all.
As for this Seventh Dining Hall...
Who knows if the online hype is true or not, it might all just be exaggerated fame.
While lost in these thoughts, messages popped up one after another in the class group chat:
"Teacher He, isn’t Jiang University off-limits to outsiders?"
"Isn’t Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall an ’internet-famous dining hall’? Nowadays, ’internet-famous’ isn’t exactly a positive term..."
"How good can the food in the dining hall be? It’s mostly probably just hyped up!"
"Whether you go or not, I’m definitely going! My uncle’s neighbor works as a chef at the Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall, and I once tried the Peach Blossom Pastry he brought back from there, supposedly made by Boss Xiao Jiang himself. It was really delicious, thinking about it now makes my mouth water!"
"I want to go too!! I’ve been to the second floor of the Seventh Dining Hall once with my dad, and the food made by Boss Xiao Jiang is unforgettable after just one bite. It’s the best food I’ve had in my life! Really!"
"Hearing you all talk like this makes my mouth water, I’m just going to play games at home anyway, so I’ll join everyone and give it a try!"
"I’m going too, I’m going too!"
"Wow! Even the school beauty is going, then I’m definitely going too!"
"..."
A group of people chattered away and quickly started to take action, preparing to gather at the entrance of Jiangzhou Ninth Middle School.
Yao Pinghua hadn’t spoken in the group, but he did notice everything his classmates were saying, leaving him a bit curious:
"Is the food at Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall really that good? Several classmates are saying it’s delicious, claiming one bite makes it unforgettable..."
He didn’t doubt that his classmates were lying, as there was simply no need for that.
Yao Pinghua was a foodie himself, having tried various delicious snacks hidden in the streets around the school. If not for having to study for the college entrance exam, he might have explored all the tasty spots in Jiangzhou City.
Now, hearing so many classmates praising the food at Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall, he couldn’t help but feel tempted.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly threw aside his blanket, quickly dressed, and hastily went to the bathroom for a wash. Grabbing his phone, he headed out the door.
Might as well take a tour around Jiang University with classmates and taste the food at the Seventh Dining Hall!
Anyway, regardless of how good the food is, he won’t be applying to Jiangzhou University. Even if the food at the Seventh Dining Hall is great, can it compete with the allure of a good university?
Impossible!
Yao Pinghua’s home wasn’t far from the school, just a ten-minute bus ride away.
When he got off the bus and arrived at the entrance of Jiangzhou Ninth Middle School, a lot of classmates had already gathered, chatting joyfully under the trees in front of the gate.
Seeing Yao Pinghua arrive, everyone looked over, and a boy with glasses waved at him, happily greeting:
"Pinghua, over here!"
After he walked over, the boy with glasses smiled and said,
"Earlier, since you weren’t talking in the group, I thought you might be sleeping in and wouldn’t come!"
"With good food, why not go?"
Yao Pinghua smiled and then asked, "By the way, with college applications coming up in a few days, have you decided which schools to apply to?"
"Not yet, but I have decided on my major."
The boy with glasses was named Li Hao. The two of them usually had similar grades and got along quite well.
Glancing at the other classmates who were chatting happily, he turned back to Yao Pinghua and said,
"I plan to apply for the Electronic Information Engineering major. Choose the major first, then the school. I don’t want to be shuffled into a bad major."
Yao Pinghua nodded, saying, "Hmm, I think the same."
"Have you picked a school?"
Li Hao looked at Yao Pinghua with some regret, sighed, and said,
"You’re really unlucky. If you hadn’t caught that cold before the exam, you would have scored higher than me, and choosing a school wouldn’t be so troublesome now."
After a pause, he tentatively suggested, "If you really don’t want to give up, how about repeating a year..."
"Repeat? What for?"
Hearing this, Yao Pinghua feigned a carefree smile, shook his head, and said,
"The college entrance exam is just a fork in the road of life. Who knows what will happen in the future? Besides, it’s not like you can’t take the entrance exams for master’s programs afterwards. Work hard during the four years of university, and get into Shuimu Jing University for graduate studies, and everything will be made up for."
