Chef at the University Canteen

Chapter 508 - 281: With Such an Appetizing Smell, He Must Be Making Something Delicious (Part 3)

"Spicy crawfish?"

Yao Pinghua was stunned for a moment. He couldn’t help but turn his head in the direction Li Hao was pointing, looking towards the row of windows on the right.

Sure enough, on the counter inside that window, there were large stainless-steel basins arranged in a row. Each basin was filled with brilliantly red spicy crawfish soaked in a red oily sauce, sprinkled with finely chopped garlic and green scallions. Just looking at it made one gulp uncontrollably!

Only then did Yao Pinghua notice that the cafeteria hall was filled with the enticing aroma of spicy crawfish. Besides him and Li Hao, all the other students had their eyes shining with desire, some even gulping loudly, with a few whose stomachs were rumbling non-stop!

"So hungry!"

No one knew who suddenly howled, and then everyone else seemed to wake up, starting to shout:

"Where’s the cafeteria staff? How much are the crawfish?"

"The crawfish smells so good. I feel like I could eat a whole basin!"

"..."

As everyone was clamoring and wanting to enter the kitchen to find the cafeteria staff, Xiong Bingsheng and the class advisors entered the cafeteria hall.

Seeing this scene, the class advisors were also taken aback. They had previously heard from Xiong Bingsheng that they could come to Jiang University to try the food at the Seventh Dining Hall. They never expected it to be like this, with so many spicy crawfish!

Could it be that these spicy crawfish are really for the students to eat?

Thinking of this, the class advisors couldn’t help but secretly gulp, helpless against the alluring scent of the spicy crawfish, which also made them crave.

Xiong Bingsheng, seeing this, couldn’t help but laugh. He raised his hands and clapped them together strongly, saying loudly:

"Classmates, these spicy crawfish were personally made by Boss Xiao Jiang from the Seventh Dining Hall and are free for everyone to taste!

Don’t be anxious, we’ll have them moved to the hall in a moment, and everyone can eat and taste as much as they like!"

As he was speaking, seven or eight work-study students came out of the cafeteria kitchen, each carrying a basin of crawfish, and walked out from the sales area.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, ten large basins filled with spicy crawfish were placed on ten different tables.

With food naturally comes drink.

To help Xiong Bingsheng get things done well, Jiang Yu had Lu Shuwu prepare two large pots of sour plum soup the previous night. This sour plum soup was chilled overnight, and when paired with the spicy crawfish, it was simply delightful.

Seeing the tables full of basins of spicy crawfish, and two large barrels of chilled sour plum soup in the corner, these graduating seniors were all stunned. For a moment, they only knew to keep gulping, but no one dared to step forward.

Seeing this, Xiong Bingsheng smiled and said loudly, "You can go ahead and start eating, everyone. Don’t be shy, come taste the spicy crawfish!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud "ow" from someone who could no longer hold back. They rushed forward, grabbing a crawfish in one hand, and ran to the side to start chewing.

With the first one eating crawfish, the other bewildered students snapped out of it, each of them yelling as they surged forward to start grabbing:

"Hey, hey! Don’t grab, there are so many spicy crawfish, everyone will get some!"

"Don’t push! Don’t push! You’re about to squeeze me into a photo!"

"Goodness! Monkey, have some decency. You’ve got one in your mouth and one in each hand. I’d like to see how you eat them!"

"..."

The cafeteria hall was suddenly filled with noise and exclamations. This large group of graduating seniors was like starving strays seeing savory meat buns, abandoning all semblance of image, pushing eagerly to the large basins to grab the spicy crawfish.

Yao Pinghua and Li Hao stood relatively close to the front, and were among the first to grab two crawfish each, retreating to the side to start eating.

"A summer without eating crawfish isn’t a summer."

In recent years, as the night market economy has emerged, crawfish has become the absolute star of the summer night market, with flavors like garlic, spicy, thirteen-spice, special recipe, and curry, each making one’s mouth water just thinking of them.

Especially in the summer nights, inviting a few friends or family, chatting leisurely while eating crawfish and drinking ice-cold beer, that life could not be more enjoyable!

As a little "foodie," Yao Pinghua naturally had eaten crawfish before, especially spicy crawfish, which was his favorite.

After a crawfish coated in red oil sauce was put in the mouth, the first thing was to suck hard on it, then break off the claw to eat the meat, and pull off the head to eat the roe...

The tender, juicy meat with its spicy and fresh taste could really intoxicate someone!

He originally thought that the spicy crawfish from the food stall specializing in various flavors under his residential building was already a delicacy.

But as soon as he tasted the spicy crawfish from the Seventh Dining Hall, a ma la, spicy, fresh flavor exploded in his mouth, awakening his dormant taste buds to come alive in an instant.

"This, this, this, this crawfish is so spicy, the taste is amazing!"

Before he could react, Li Hao, sitting next to him, was continuously exclaiming "hiss, ha" while sucking on a crawfish in his hand, his face full of delight,
