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

"What?"

Liu Benjian was taken aback.

"You really called him over?"

Goodness, can't Teacher Wang tell he's refusing?

And now you're really pushing your luck, huh?!

"Yes, he's right at the school gate."

"you!"

Liu Benjian pointed at Teacher Wang, so angry he couldn't speak.

"You're absolutely ridiculous. Do you think just anyone can walk through the school gates?"

"Who will be responsible if something goes wrong?"

"So I need your approval."

Teacher Wang spoke with confidence and conviction.

"Director Liu, why don't you let him in and cook a meal? You can try it yourself!"

"If it doesn't taste good, I'll admit my mistake on the spot and never mention it again!"

"you!"

Liu Benjian was so angry he was speechless.

He wanted to refuse.

But with Teacher Wang's expression, it's really hard to refuse.

And to be honest.

After he got back that day, he inexplicably searched for that Master Su's video again.

The more I looked at it, the more something seemed off.

If one or two are special effects, that's fine.

Are all those audience shots taken from various angles special effects?

Those bloggers who make videos.

There were also the audience members present at the scene, and the thousands of comments section.

Surely they can't all be shills, right?

Liu Benjian was already quite curious.

But he was too proud to admit it.

"OK."

Liu Benjian finally spoke, his tone still stiff.

"Let him in. I want to see what he's really capable of!"

At the school gate.

Su Yun parked the food cart in a roadside parking space.

I was scrolling through my phone, feeling utterly bored.

He's been waiting here for almost twenty minutes. Will Teacher Wang be able to get it done?

Su Yun looked at the tightly closed door.

I felt a little uneasy.

"If I can't handle this, won't I have made a wasted trip?"

"And won't this car get a ticket if it's parked on the side of the road...?"

I was just thinking about it.

My phone vibrated.

"Master Su, it's all done!"

Teacher Wang's message popped up.

"Come in from the side, I'll wait for you at the cafeteria entrance."

Su Yun was overjoyed.

"Wow, they actually managed to fix it?"

He quickly replied with two words.

Then the food truck started and drove into the campus from the side.

As the car drove across the playground.

Su Yun noticed several students getting water nearby.

All eyes turned to look at them.

"This car is so cool!"

"Is this a food truck?"

"Holy crap! Can this car transform?"

Su Yun pretended not to hear and drove the car to the entrance of the cafeteria.

"Master Su!"

Teacher Wang was already waiting there.

Seeing him get out of the car, he quickly came to greet him.

"You've finally arrived!"

Teacher Wang smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

"Teacher Wang, you really got it sorted out?"

Su Yun still couldn't quite believe it.

"Of course."

Teacher Wang proudly raised her chin.

"But the director is still waiting inside. He said he wants to taste your cooking before making a decision."

"That's no problem."

Su Yun smiled, feeling reassured.

As long as you can get him to do it, there's nothing you can't handle.

The two people walked into the cafeteria.

Inside the lobby.

Liu Benjian sat in the very center.

Arms crossed over his chest, expressionless.

"You must be that Master Su, right?"

Liu Benjian looked Su Yun up and down.

His eyes held an undisguised scrutiny.

"You look quite young."

"Hello, Director Liu."

Su Yun nodded politely.

"Alright, stop trying to get close to me."

Liu Benjian waved his hand.

"Teacher Wang said your skills are very good, so I'll give you a chance today."

"If you cook a meal here and I eat it and think it's good, then we can talk about the rest."

"If it doesn't work, don't blame me for being harsh."

"no problem."

Su Yun didn't waste any words.

He turned around and took the tools out of his food cart.

He opened the system backend and quickly glanced at the recipes that had just been unlocked that day.

[College Entrance Exam Preparation Series: Nutritious Steamed Fish, Garlic Ribs, Tomato Beef Brisket Rice, Golden Broth Beef Noodles...]

Everything is available.

After thinking for a while, Su Yun decided to make a tomato and beef brisket rice dish.

This dish looks ordinary, but it really tests your basic skills.

To stew beef brisket until it's tender and flavorful, you must control the heat carefully.

The tomatoes must be simmered to create a rich, sweet and sour broth, and the rice must be cooked until each grain is distinct.

Every bite should be coated with the essence of the broth.

That's what you call authentic.

more importantly.

This dish is quite home-style.

People of Liu Benjian's age probably prefer more down-to-earth food.

Su Yun took out fresh beef brisket and tomatoes from the bag and placed them on the cutting board.

Liu Benjian glanced at it from afar and snorted.

"This kid looks pretty decent, I just wonder how he tastes."

Teacher Wang stood beside her, watching Su Yun's movements nervously.

He seemed even more worried than Su Yun himself.

Su Yun began processing the beef brisket.

First, cut it into evenly sized pieces.

Each piece has the perfect ratio of fat to lean meat, then it's blanched in cold water to remove the scum.

The movements were clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

Liu Benjian raised an eyebrow and took a closer look.

"His knife skills are alright."

Although he only said "it's alright" aloud, his eyes had already unconsciously followed the direction.

Next.

Su Yun heated oil in a wok, then added rock sugar and stir-fried it until it caramelized.

Then add the beef brisket chunks and stir-fry quickly.

The caramelized aroma of sugar mingled with the rich flavor of beef, slowly spreading throughout the air.

"Um?"

Liu Benjian twitched his nose and unconsciously hummed in agreement.

Why does this smell a little off?

What is he making? Tomato noodles?

Is this what tomato noodles taste like?

Liu Benjian was a little confused.

Su Yun then poured the chopped tomato pieces into the pot.

Stir-fry over high heat until juices are released, and a rich, sweet and sour aroma rises with the steam.

The aroma of beef brisket, wrapped in meat, forcefully filled my nostrils.

Liu Benjian's expression changed slightly.

He quickly coughed to cover up his blunder.

Su Yun was not distracted.

Add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and various spices.

Then pour in enough hot water to cover the beef brisket, cover the pot, and simmer over low heat.

"You'll have to wait a while."

Su Yun wiped her hands and turned around.

Liu Benjian nodded with a stern face and said nothing.

Twenty minutes later.

As white steam began to rise from the edge of the pot lid, a rich, sweet and sour aroma wafted towards us.

The smoke instantly filled the entire cafeteria.

"..."

Liu Benjian's stomach let out a disapproving growl.

He silently placed his hand on his stomach, pretending nothing had happened.

Thirty minutes later.

Su Yun lifted the lid of the pot and stirred it with a spoon.

The beef brisket was stewed until it was very tender and flavorful, with each piece coated in a thick broth.

The tomatoes have completely dissolved into the soup, leaving only a sweet and sour, mellow aroma.

Su Yun served a bowl of rice.

Pour a generous amount of tomato and beef brisket over the top, then sprinkle with chopped green onions.

It was served to Liu Benjian.

"Director Liu, please have a taste."

Steaming hot, with an incredibly enticing aroma.

Liu Benjian looked down at the bowl of rice in front of him.

The beef brisket chunks were uniformly sized, wobbly, and coated with a thick broth.

The color alone is very tempting.

"It looks alright, though."

Liu Benjian muttered something, but he still didn't think it tasted that good.

He picked up a spoon and scooped up a mouthful.

I originally just wanted to try one bite and then put it down, and then end this farce with a few perfunctory words.

But the moment the beef brisket rice enters your mouth...

Liu Benjian was no longer calm.

Just a gentle bite with my teeth.

The beef brisket practically melted in your mouth.

"Not a child?"

Liu Benjian said in surprise.

"What's going on?"

"Why is this beef brisket so tender?"

The sweet and sour flavor of the tomatoes surged up, enveloping the rich beef.

My entire mouth felt numb and tingly.

The rice then absorbs the essence of the broth.

Each grain has a sweet and sour taste, and is soft and chewy with a touch of chewiness!

Liu Benjian was stunned for a moment, then took two bites in a daze.

Then, quite pathetically, I ate a second spoonful, and a third spoonful.

The more you eat, the more intoxicated you become.

This tastes really off!

"Director Liu."

Teacher Wang cautiously called out from the side.

But Liu Benjian completely ignored her.

He was now completely absorbed in the bowl of rice in front of him.

The beef brisket was very tender, and the tomatoes were sweet and sour.

The rice, on the other hand, is fragrant and sticky.

The three flavors intertwine and collide in the mouth.

I felt like my mind cleared up after taking a bite.

This is an extremely simple home-style dish!

But it is precisely because it is simple that it requires even more skill in controlling the heat and seasoning!

And this bowl in front of me.

The cooking time was impeccably precise, and the seasoning was just right!

Too much and it's cloying; too little and it's bland.

Every bite is just right!

"Burp~"

Liu Benjian finished the last bite, even pouring the soup into the bowl and drinking it all up.

He put down the spoon.

"Director Liu."

Teacher Wang called out again.

Liu Benjian raised his head.

"What are you doing?"

Teacher Wang choked.

Liu Benjian's face turned slightly red.

Can he say he's been won over by this meal?

That's a bit embarrassing!

But the food really does taste pretty good!

If it were given to children, that would be a wonderful thing!

"How does it taste?"

Su Yun, standing beside him, asked with a smile.

"It's alright, I guess."

Liu Benjian said with difficulty.

Teacher Wang: "?"

"Not bad?"

Teacher Wang pointed to the bowl that Liu Benjian had licked clean.

"Director, you've eaten it all!"

Liu Benjian: ...........

"Director Liu."

Su Yun spoke up, "What about setting up a stall?"

Liu Benjian remained silent for a few seconds, but ultimately gave in.

"You can set it up."

He held up one finger.

"But there are a few rules I need to tell you in advance."

"you say!"

Su Yun nodded.

"First, I'll only give you one window, and you can only sell lunch and dinner."

"Secondly, you are responsible for all the ingredients yourself; the school does not provide any raw materials."

"Third, the window fee cannot be reduced."

"You know our high school's management model is different from other high schools. The window fee is five thousand a day, and it only supports prepayment before work begins."

"As for the fourth point."

Liu Benjian looked at Su Yun, his tone stern.

"I'll give you a one-day trial period!"

"If any students have a bad experience, or if any food safety issues arise, you must leave immediately, and your money will not be refunded."

"Director Liu!"

After hearing this, Teacher Wang's face turned pale.

That's way too harsh!

But Su Yun simply nodded.

"no problem!"

"Master Su, you!"

Teacher Wang got anxious.

These four regulations are too strict.

How could Master Su possibly agree to that!

And that window fee is way too high, it costs five thousand a day!

If Master Su agrees to this, will he really be able to recoup his costs?

"Alright, my rules are my rules."

Liu Benjian looked at Teacher Wang and said.

"I won't give him special treatment just because his food is good. He won't pay a penny less than he owes."

"director!"

Teacher Wang wanted to say something more, but Su Yun stopped her.

"Teacher Wang, there's no need to say anymore."

"Master Su, this stall fee is too expensive! Can't the school get a share of the profits?"

"What if I lose money if I pay 5,000 every day?"

Teacher Wang sounded very anxious.

"Take a cut?"

Su Yun was startled.

"No!"
