Chef at the University Canteen

Chapter 544 - 290: The School of Sports’ "Gourmet Motivation" Plan (Part 3)

"Xiaohu really has talent. If you can jump 2.2 meters again at the provincial games, you might even win the championship!"

Another team member’s face was full of envy. He glanced at Liu Xiaohu and continued,

"I checked before, the high jump record for our provincial games was set two years ago at 2.15 meters. Your score definitely breaks the meet record!"

"Breaking records? Winning championships?"

Liu Xiaohu squinted his eyes, smiling self-deprecatingly, and said lightly,

"I’m not thinking that far ahead right now. When the competition comes, who knows if I can jump over 2.2 meters again?"

"..."

The group was chatting idly when suddenly, a deafening cheer erupted from the other side of the stadium.

Liu Xiaohu and the others were startled. They turned their heads towards the direction of the sound and saw on the other side of the stadium, at the training grounds for the running and athletics group, team members were cheerfully waving their hands as if they encountered something great.

"What’s going on here? Did they win the lottery?"

"Probably some good news. Look how happy they are!"

"Haha, that group always messes around, pretending to be exhausted from training. Now they’ve been caught!"

"Wonder what the good news is, do we have a share in it?"

"Probably has nothing to do with us, didn’t you notice Coach Lin hasn’t said anything?"

"..."

The group sighed for a while before moving on to the next set of training.

They’re different from the runners. After all, their coach now is Lin Yahu, who just retired from the national team and is an internationally recognized athlete who won the Asian Games men’s high jump championship.

With such an exemplary figure leading, every member of the high jump and long jump group is more ambitious, each hoping to achieve something in their own discipline.

Even if they can’t win a championship like Coach Lin, at least they should aim for a national champion, right?

For this goal, they’re willing to give it their all!

As time slowly passed in tiring and monotonous training, a long and exhausting day finally came to an end.

After completing the day’s training plan, Liu Xiaohu and the others collapsed under the shade of the trees on the stadium, gulping down bottled water and gasping for breath.

Even though training had stopped, sweat still poured out, soaking their sports uniforms and sticking to their backs, causing a discomfort that’s hard to describe.

"Let’s go, stop sitting here. Let’s get something to eat!"

"You go, I don’t feel like eating. I’ll just go back and have some protein powder and sleep, I’m really too tired."

"With our level of activity, not eating just won’t cut it. Although I’m not hungry either, I’ll grit my teeth and eat something."

"Yeah, Xiaohu, why don’t I bring you some food back?"

"..."

Everyone was talking over each other when suddenly, Lin Yahu’s voice came from afar:

"What’s this? Can’t handle such a small amount of training? Can’t even go have a meal?"

Liu Xiaohu and the others were startled and quickly turned their heads, only to see Lin Yahu approaching, holding a bottle of water, sipping it as he walked over.

He glanced over at Liu Xiaohu and the others, shook his head disappointedly, and sighed,

"Your physical fitness is too poor, you really need to intensify your training!"

"Coach!"

"Coach Lin!"

"..."

Seeing Lin Yahu coming over, the group quickly got up from the ground and greeted him.

"Hmm."

Lin Yahu nodded, glanced at the lifeless group with a smirk, and said with a chuckle,

"Why does everyone seem so spiritless? Is it just because the training session is a bit longer than usual? Back when we trained, it was much tougher than this. Once the coach’s training plan was done, we’d secretly do extra practice!

Ah, thinking back to the days in the national team, it was truly exciting; every day we were full of fighting spirit.

Looking at you guys now, tsk tsk, it’s as if someone is forcing you to do sports..."

"Coach, that’s different! The conditions in the national team are much better than here!"

One team member couldn’t help but speak up after hearing Lin Yahu’s words, smacking his lips,

"Not mentioning other things, just the daily meals, the national team’s dining hall must be much better than the school here!

We train so hard but still have to eat such unpalatable nutrition meals, I just can’t swallow them."

"Haha, as athletes, as long as the food provides enough energy and can fill the stomach, it’s a qualified nutrition meal. Whether it tastes good or not is not within the scope of consideration."

Lin Yahu glanced at him, smiled lightly, and said,

"Of course, if you want good taste, it’s not impossible.

To help everyone fully invest in training, the school has invited Jiang Yu from the Seventh Dining Hall to come. Tomorrow, you’ll have a delicious nutrition meal for dinner.

This nutrition meal not only has enough nutrition but tastes top-notch, far better than the dining hall of the national team."

As soon as the words fell, the previously dispirited group lit up instantly!

One by one, they raised their heads, staring intently at Lin Yahu, full of excitement as they eagerly spoke:

"Coach, are you serious? Jiang Yu is coming to make us a nutrition meal tomorrow evening?!"
