If I ask you to set up a stall, why do you always run to deserted places?

Su Yun simply served Principal Jiang and the others a dish of braised lion's head meatballs over rice.

The kind that Niu Bayi and his friends love to eat.

The dark red lion's head meatballs lay in the center of the rice, the aroma of meat and sauce mingling with the rising steam.

Jiang Zhiming rolled his eyes on the spot.

The presentation isn't exactly luxurious... ahem...

But it doesn't look like something from a cafeteria.

It looks extremely exquisite when placed on the table.

Jiang Zhiming poked the lion's head with his chopsticks.

"It's quite bouncy."

He muttered something, picked up a piece, and put it in his mouth.

The lion's head meatballs are tender yet firm, and you can almost feel the juice bursting when you bite into them.

He now understands a little why the students don't want to leave.

The texture, the broth.

He wouldn't want to leave either!

How can we not eat our fill?

Jiang Zhiming chewed two large mouthfuls and then shamelessly shoveled a large mouthful of rice into his mouth.

Principal Qian and Liu Benjian, sitting opposite each other, exchanged a knowing glance, but neither of them spoke.

Even the head of the teaching department next to him stopped pretending.

He was already engrossed in eating, his appetite even more exaggerated than Jiang Zhiming's.

Anyway, he's not the principal.

Don't worry about the top students, just enjoy your meal.

"Principal, is it delicious?" Jiang Wenwen glanced at her principal discreetly.

Jiang Zhiming remained silent.

He's the kind of person who truly can't say things against his conscience.

It's delicious, that's all.

Jiang Wenwen and Niu Bayi exchanged glances, all feeling confident that things were going well.

"Principal, do you think it's reasonable for us to live here?" Niu Bayi asked casually.

"Mmm."

Jiang Zhiming stuffed a lion's head meatball into his mouth without giving a direct answer.

But not refusing means agreeing, right?

"Coconut flakes!"

Niu Bayi and his friends clapped excitedly.

"Principal, I told you, we're not joking around."

"Yeah, this food was so delicious. My mind was so clear after I ate it, and I felt like my problem-solving efficiency was ridiculously high."

"We're not staying away just to have fun."

"you!"

Jiang Zhiming put down his chopsticks, momentarily at a loss for words.

He initially thought these top students were just messing around with him.

It's a rebellious phase of adolescence.

They insist on going against the school.

But even now.

After tasting the meal himself, he realized he had misunderstood the children; the food was indeed delicious.

but.

This is just cafeteria food, why make it so delicious?

Isn't this ridiculous?

A complex mix of emotions welled up in the principal's heart.

He'd be incredibly grateful if the food in their school cafeteria was even half as good as this.

"Principal," Jiang Wenwen said, seeing his complicated expression, "if you also think it's delicious, why don't you stay and not go back?"

"What?"

Jiang Zhiming glanced at her.

Tell him not to go back, that's ridiculous.

He's the school principal!

How can we not go back?

"Principal, we're not kidding you," Niu Bayi said seriously. "Look, our efficiency in doing problems here doubles."

"Wouldn't it be nice if you stayed with us for a few days and experienced the atmosphere here?"

Now that things have come to this point...

Jiang Zhiming knew exactly what they were thinking.

It's all to shut the parents up.

Let's keep him here as the principal.

Wow, you're so clever!

But then again, he is the head of a school!

Can you grant such an unreasonable request?

At this time.

The aroma of braised lion's head meatballs wafted over again.

Jiang Zhiming picked up his chopsticks again, and you know what? It smelled delicious!

He really didn't want to leave.

The head of teaching affairs next to the principal also put down his chopsticks and wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth.

"How about we stay?"

"Why are you getting involved?"

Jiang Zhiming glared at him. "If anyone's going to stay, it should be me, the principal. The dean of students shouldn't even think about it; he has to go back to taking charge!"

One of them has to go back, right?

"No, Principal, you're being too selfish!"

The head of the teaching department got anxious and started arguing with the principal, counting on his fingers.

Anyway, they'll have nothing to do when they get back, and with the college entrance exam coming up, it'll all depend on their own initiative.

Besides, there are so many administrative teachers in the school.

Why don't the two of them just issue orders online?

They happened to be lying in wait here for a few days.

Let's find out why their cafeteria is so good and learn from their experience.

If we improve the dining environment in the cafeteria in the future, we might be able to achieve some success.

His words touched the principal's heart.

My heart is fluttering, I'm so incredibly fluttering.

Putting aside all that, let's just talk about the quality of the food.

It's worth staying here for two days to savor it properly.

"Fine, I can't go against your wishes, I agree."

Jiang Zhiming agreed anyway.

"Long live the principal!" Jiang Wenwen jumped up excitedly.

Niu Bayi and Zhao Qingyang joined in the commotion, making Jiang Zhiming blush with embarrassment.

He quickly coughed twice, then scolded sternly, "Don't make a fuss! It's just staying a few more days, it doesn't mean we're not going back!"

"We understand, we all understand." Niu Bayi and the others exchanged glances and immediately nodded.

Jiang Zhiming: "..."

No, what do you know?

Early the next morning.

The situation at the Provincial Experimental High School immediately erupted into chaos.

"What?"

"Neither the principal nor the head of student affairs has returned, and neither have those top students?!"

"What's going on? Didn't the principal and the others go to pick up those top students? Why can't they come back either?"

"Oh my god, I'm going to report this! Someone's trying to steal the principal!!"

Time flies.

Before we knew it, it was the day before the college entrance examination.

The entire school was enveloped in an atmosphere that was both tense and excited.

The senior high school building was covered with banners.

The broadcast played instructions and pre-exam psychological counseling on a loop.

at this time.

Su Yun scrolled through the latest messages in the system's backend.

[A special mission has been triggered before the college entrance examination, unlocking the ultimate college entrance examination sprint set meal.]

[Menu details.]

"18888 yuan?"

Su Yun's eyelids twitched as she looked at the numbers on the screen.

"Good heavens, as expected of you, you damn system!"

"They're such a rip-off!"

Showing him this kind of thing at this time.

Can he not buy it?

Su Yun has been setting up her stall here for six days and has long since developed a strong attachment to it.

Moreover, these college entrance exam takers are his loyal customers.

For the important life events of our customers.

He insisted on buying it no matter what!

Besides, buying it doesn't mean you've lost money!

After all, there are so many people in the school, selling just a little bit will easily cover the cost!

The rest is pure profit.

[Unlocked successfully; ingredients have been delivered to the treasure chest.]

[Note: This meal set is for consumption only during the college entrance examination period. Each examinee is limited to one set. Please arrange the meal preparation schedule accordingly.]

Su Yun nodded.

Then I opened the treasure chest and took a look. Inside, there was a neat row of fresh ingredients.

First up are the cod pieces, each one snow-white and translucent.

"That's really good."

Su Yun touched it; the texture was just like that of beef, as delicate as frost.

"I just wonder how many times more protein it has than beef?"

Su Yun muttered to herself.

I glanced at the wild mushroom again, and this wild mushroom was even more extraordinary.

Each one is plump and round, clearly top-quality.

"I would believe you if you told me it was freshly picked."

Su Yun closed the cabinet door and tied her apron.

"Let's have this one meal today."

He first took out the cod, and then cut the Wagyu beef into evenly sliced ​​pieces for later use.

The broth was started last night and was made with old hen, pork bones, and ham.

It was brought to a boil over high heat and then simmered over low heat for more than ten hours.

The soup has been simmered until it's a thick, milky white color. Anyone who sees it will have to say it's amazing; the umami flavor is so rich it's practically dripping with water.

Su Yun sliced ​​all the wild mushrooms.

Then put them directly into the pot to blanch.

Marinate the Wagyu beef slices with a secret sauce, and coat both sides of the cod pieces with a thin layer of cornstarch.

The next step is obvious, right?

Put them directly into the oil and fry until golden brown on both sides.

"ojbk".

Su Yun turned on the stove, and immediately it crackled and popped, with oil sizzling and rolling, filling the entire canteen with a delicious aroma.

In less than half an hour, the prepared ingredients were taken out of the pot one after another.

The set meal consists of a pan-fried cod, a serving of wild mushrooms and beef rolls, a bowl of broth, a plate of seasonal vegetables, and a serving of rice steamed with rice specially supplied by the system.

It looks very high-end, and it tastes just as good.

Each set meal is served on a plate made by the cafeteria, with a line of small print printed on the edge of the plate.

"Give it your all, and we'll meet at the summit."

"This presentation is absolutely stunning!"

Su Yun couldn't help but take a picture and post it on her WeChat Moments. Her Moments exploded instantly, with everyone wailing in despair.

Su Yun added a note on the ordering screen: limited supply, one serving per person per meal!

"Hmm, that should be about right, just enough to sell out."

When it was time to eat, the line exploded instantly.

"Holy crap! Am I seeing things? Chef Su is having a Manchu Han Imperial Feast today?"

"What Manchu Han Imperial Feast? Is it really that outrageous?"

"You're not seeing it yourself!"

"Holy crap, pan-fried cod, and Wagyu beef?!"

"Holy crap, what's this? Broth? Is this some kind of cafeteria food?"

"Wow, Master Su is so thoughtful!"

"Yeah, did they cook us a meal for the top scorers in the college entrance exam?"

"Hurry up and line up! I'll fight anyone who tries to take my place today!"

"You're crazy! Only one serving per person, so everyone gets one!"

The students rushed to the windows in a frenzy.

The other branches simply closed down; they couldn't compete, so they gave up and went on holiday.

Su Yun's hands flew as she handed out plate after plate.

Because everything was prepared in advance, it was easy once it was plated.

Every meal was served piping hot.

Zhao Ziliang also got a copy.

He carried his tray to a seat by the window, and stared intently at the cod and Wagyu beef in front of him.

"Let me taste it."

Zhao Ziliang picked up a piece of cod with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. The fish was very tender.

Holy crap!

Zhao Ziliang muttered to himself, then picked up another slice of Wagyu beef roll.

The beef has evenly distributed fat and melts in your mouth.

The delicate aroma of wild mushrooms perfectly balances the richness of the oil, making each bite distinct and layered.

He shoveled a large mouthful of rice into his mouth.

"I bet I'll perform exceptionally well tomorrow!"

Zhao Ziliang mumbled something to Hua Xiaoma beside him.

"Me too, I feel like I don't need to repeat a year."

Hua Xiaoma was also engrossed in eating.

Li Xiaoxiao and a few others gathered at a table.

Everyone finished eating their food completely.

"I feel incredibly strong right now; getting into Tsinghua or Peking University is no longer a dream."

Li Xiaoxiao put down her chopsticks and touched her stomach.

"Come on, you."

Lin Yue smiled and gave him a push, "You should be grateful if you can get into a four-year university."

"That's not necessarily true."

Li Xiaoxiao blinked, her expression carrying a confidence she couldn't quite put into words.

This confidence didn't come out of thin air; it was built up from each meal and each problem solved over the past few days.

Moreover, after eating this meal, it felt like something in my brain had been activated.

Li Xiaoxiao herself could hardly believe it.

In short, it means that the whole person reaches a mysterious and profound state.

The entire cafeteria was filled with a similar atmosphere.

Seven o'clock the next morning.

The entrance to Chengbei No.1 Middle School was crowded with parents who came to see their children off to the exam.

The area was cordoned off.

Zhao Ziliang's parents stood outside the cordon, standing on tiptoe to peer into the crowd.

"Here's my son!"

Zhao Hu saw his son Zhao Ziliang and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Zhao Ziliang immediately walked over with his schoolbag on his back, but his expression showed no sign of nervousness.

Zhao Hu was taken aback.

He recognized that expression.

A person who wants to win doesn't have a smile on their face.

But Zhao Hu didn't understand; he knew his son's character all too well.

He's usually all smiles and jokes around before exams, never taking anything seriously.

Why do you seem so different today?

Is this a cold?

Did you not eat well yesterday?

"Mom and Dad, what brings you here?" Zhao Ziliang walked up to the police cordon.

"Son, don't worry, we just came to see you and don't want to put any pressure on you."

"Just finish writing the question; don't leave it blank."

"Every point counts. If we can't get into a four-year university, we can go to a junior college."

Zhao Hu couldn't help but give him some instructions.

"Even if we can't get into a junior college, we can always go back home and farm."

"In short, don't put any pressure on yourself."

Farming?

Zhao Ziliang's lips twitched.

Good heavens, is this really his biological father?

He keeps saying he didn't do well on the test, isn't that ridiculous?

"Dad, aren't your expectations of me too low?"

Zhao Ziliang said, checking the stationery.

"You wait, this time your son will get you into a top university (985)."

"puff!"

Zhao Hu nearly spat out his water. He blinked and quickly reached out to touch Zhao Ziliang's forehead. "Are you running a fever?"

"Oh dear, it seems a bit hot."

"Dad, I'm telling the truth!"

Zhao Ziliang was speechless.

"Son, don't joke like that with your dad."

Zhao Hu refused to believe it, saying, "Just play like you normally do!"

"If you really don't want to write, just stomp on the ground a couple of times. Just don't leave it blank!"

He knew his son's capabilities.

What 985 university? That's just a pipe dream.

Whether or not you can go to university is another matter.

"Dad, you're underestimating me."

Zhao Ziliang was too lazy to explain to his father and turned around to go through security.

"Just you wait and see."

Wait until he's gone.

"Do you think our son might be traumatized?"

Zhao Hu's wife was very worried.

"I don't know either." Zhao Hu shook his head as he watched Zhao Ziliang's retreating figure.

"Is the college entrance exam really that terrifying? Our Ziliang has started talking nonsense."

"I feel more like I've been kicked by a donkey," his wife muttered subconsciously, then quickly spat it out.

"Pah, pah, pah, what am I saying?"

Zhao Hu shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.

Let my son dream if he wants to; as he said, as long as his dreams aren't empty, that's fine.

Their goal is to finish writing it all!

On the other side, several people also ran over holding signs.
