Have you ever seen glowing food? That's why you draw a food-themed anime.

The aroma of melted fat permeates the meat, filling the entire dish with a rich, meaty fragrance that only intensifies with each chew.

The difference in taste.

It seems that this cannot be made up for in a small way.

"..."

Lei Jie stared intently at Xu Zhou, his heart filled with disbelief.

so young.

How can someone have such culinary skills?

That's simply impossible.

Could this be the heir of some top-tier imperial chef family?

...

And at this time.

The host finally announced at this moment: "It seems that Professor Xu Zhou, a specially recruited teacher from Songnan University, has won the first exchange between teachers from other universities!"

"Wait a moment."

“I see that our Dean Jiang over there has something to say.”

The camera focused on Dean Jiang Yonghua.

Chapter 122 What is he doing!

Jiang Yonghua didn't want to wait any longer and made the announcement on the spot.

"We have formally extended a special appointment invitation to Xu Zhou, requesting that he become a specially recruited teacher at our school."

"All benefits are top-tier, and they also have the right to decide on the students they specially recruit each year."

There are many benefits.

Although he didn't read them out one by one, the three words "highest grade" alone were enough to show the school's attitude.

...

Specially recruited teachers!

Seeing this, Jiang Shulang couldn't help but turn to look at Xu Zhou again, take a picture with his phone, and post it in the class group.

[Jiang Shulang: Photo/I want to ask, is being specially recruited university teachers awesome?]

[Jiang Shulang: The top student is now a specially recruited teacher in the Culinary Arts Department of Songnan University.]

Before being specially recruited, this was a privilege reserved for those whose ancestors were imperial chefs.

He still doesn't know just how capable the specially recruited teachers are.

As soon as the message was sent out, the people in the high school group chat immediately went wild.

Xu Zhou went from being the owner of a small, scattered shop to topping the list at Songnan University's food festival, and is now a specially recruited teacher at Songnan University.

He's definitely a top student!

[Zhu Zixuan: Making a fuss over nothing.]

[Zhu Zixuan: Isn't he just a university professor?]

Xu Zhou is in the group chat.

Just as Jiang Yaotiao was about to send a message to Zhu Zixuan to tone it down, she saw the message he sent the next second.

[Zhu Zixuan: The way you're making such a fuss makes it seem like a top student doesn't deserve the title of university professor.]

...

"Can't you speak without pausing for breath?"

Jiang Yaotiao silently deleted the reprimanding message she wanted to send, and then saw that Zhu Zixuan had created a new group.

[Matching Flower Baskets]

Zhu Zixuan forwarded a purchase link.

[Zhu Zixuan: Anyone want to buy together?]

Jiang Yaotiao clicked on the link to take a look.

"This Zhu Zixuan..."

"And they still say they're not Xiaozhou's fan."

While Jiang Yaotiao was still pondering which flower basket to choose, she saw that "Flower Basket Purchase This Month 1" had changed to "Flower Basket Purchase This Month 10" and then continued to rise.

Even Jiang Shulang couldn't help but exclaim "Holy crap!" when he saw the surge in purchases: "Are you crazy?! Buying so fast!"

"No, I want to buy something special! What's the point if everyone buys the same style!"

"When the time comes, they will all be gold, and only I will be red. Wouldn't that be like a single red dot among a hundred gold pieces?"

So he spent a long time choosing and finally picked one that satisfied him.

Payment successful!

Just after I finished paying and placing the order, I heard Xu Zhou's voice next to me: "What does our class want to buy?"

"No...nothing!"

Jiang Shulang quickly turned off his phone screen and immediately changed the subject: "People in my company are complaining that there are no good restaurants in the park, and ordering takeout isn't as comfortable as eating in person."

"Why is ordering takeout less satisfying than eating fresh?"

Hearing Jiang Shulang's words, Xu Zhou became interested: "Isn't ordering takeout convenient?"

Who eats to relieve themselves?

Jiang Shulang responded strangely: "Those who can truly enjoy good food should go to a restaurant."

"Enjoying every meal with a few close friends and making the most of each day—that's the true source of happiness."

"Moreover, for us ordinary people, the process of having a pleasant meal with friends at a restaurant, that feeling of relaxation... has become a habit for everyone."

Xu Zhou was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

His gaze swept over the group of students from Songnan University and Songbei University.

Each of them had a rosy complexion and was full of energy. The brightness in their eyes and the sense of vitality and happiness emanating from them made Xu Zhou feel very emotional.

They are truly enjoying life, pursuing their spiritual world, and making the most of every day.

The key is that the country still has money, the people have money, and the average happiness level is high, which leads to a snowball effect that gets better and better.

In his previous world, ordinary people were just worker ants, whose blood was used as fuel and every inch of their blood was consumed.

...

When Jiang Yonghua announced the news in public, he also handed over the contract that he had prepared in advance.

With a gentle look in his eyes: "Take it home and take a look first. This year's special recruitment teacher spot is yours."

Looking at the appointment letter in front of him, Xu Zhou flipped through it and saw that it was indeed as Jiang Mingzhu had said: there were no obligations, only rights.

Even wages were paid as usual.

There are no class hours required.

If you want to offer classes, there will be a fee per class hour.

There is a private office, a private kitchen, and a teacher's dormitory room that can be applied for.

What's the difference between this and giving away a free apartment?

Although they are currently regular specially recruited teachers, their professional titles can still be upgraded.

"..."

Xu Zhou had no reason to refuse and solemnly accepted his new position: "Okay, I agree."

“The school doesn’t force you to teach, but if there are any teacher exchange meetings…” Jiang Yonghua paused, “Of course, the school will reimburse all food expenses for the exchange meetings.”

"OK, no problem."

When Xu Zhou heard that all he needed to do was help attend the exchange meeting to make a name for himself, he agreed without hesitation.

Jiang Yonghua looked satisfied, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You can tell me what you want for the teachers' dormitory. The dormitory you are given is quite large. After you have taught at the school for five years, it will be completely under your name."

"If you want to hire a personal teaching assistant to help with your daily life, you can also talk to Xiao Liu."

This is genius!

They've finally been tied to Songnan University's ship!

Grandpa Jiang's mind raced, trying to think of any other benefits he could add.

This means that other schools haven't yet discovered such a treasure of a teacher as Mr. Xu Zhou.

Before it is discovered in other schools, it is essential to ensure that Teacher Xu Zhou has a connection with their school!

...

Xu Zhou was stunned when he saw the series of benefits in the contract and flipped through it to see the conditions and photos of the personal dormitory he was to be assigned to.

Is this supposed to be a faculty apartment?

This is a small villa!

The entire two floors of the duplex detached apartment building belong to the owner.

There's a small park nearby that's great for walking dogs, and it's also a popular spot for students to stroll around after dinner.

Behind that is the cooking room, and to the right is the culinary department area of ​​Songnan University.

The whole place looks very cozy.

"..."

"I'd feel bad if I didn't give a class."

The more Xu Zhou looked at the house, the more cozy it seemed. If the whole family moved in, it would not only be close to his shop, but the school environment was also quite nice.

Having already decided to become this specially recruited teacher, I no longer declined. Seeing that there were no pitfalls in the contract, I filled in my name directly.

And at this time.

The moment the signature was made, the page that had been prepared long ago on Songnan University's official website was finally updated.

A new name appeared on the page for specially recruited teachers in the Department of Culinary Arts at Songnan University.

[Special Recruited Teacher: Xu Zhou]

[Personal Introduction: Owner of Yizhou Izakaya, self-taught despite not majoring in culinary arts in university. A genius personally recognized by Dean Jiang Yonghua, and successfully won over professors from the Songbei Culinary Academy during a friendly exchange…]

...

After putting the contract away, Xu Zhou returned to the waiting area where Songnan University was located and saw many students from Songnan University with bright eyes.

"Teacher Xu!"

"Teacher Xu, when do you start your classes? I'll skip my main courses and come!"

Liu Niannian said eagerly, "You must tell us when classes start! It's so hard to get a class when all four grades are competing!"

This time, Xu Zhou became a household name at the university.

Students from freshman to senior year at the entire culinary school compete for classes; it's incredibly difficult to get a spot.

A typical university classroom can only seat a limited number of people at most.

Seeing everyone's expectant looks, Xu Zhou sighed, "I'll think about it."

"I may not have time."

The person next to them quickly said, "One class a month is fine! We're not picky!"

"Weekends are fine too!"

"Weekends are even better! There aren't as many people competing, so I can grab the deals! I can learn!"

Someone next to him kicked him: "Are you an idiot? There will be even more people grabbing it this weekend!"
