I Love FarmingCh6 - A Sharp Contrast In Reviews

Editor: Alysia

CU’s canteen, after all, was the dark cuisine canteen that was famous all over the country.  Students used to make fun of it in past years. The best joke a student can pull is tricking classmates who are unaware of the food to eat it. z0pJ9C

Although Meng Chang and his classmates said that the first canteen foods were delicious, no one believed them. All the posts on the school forum addressing the improvements to the first canteen were regarded as memes.

Everyone enthusiastically responded to the message, using both false and real information, and began recommending dishes from the first canteen. Since the line between real and fake facts was blurred, even more, many people mistook the article for a meme.

However, due to the popularity of the first canteen, about two or three days later, more and more students discovered that it was not a spoof, and these two dishes created a small sensation in the canteen.

Many people returned to reply to that post. Svbei1

“I’m so naïve. The post creator didn’t lie to me.”

“I’m not dreaming. Who’s going to wake me up? My roommate helped me to get some braised potatoes. I was so hungry that I almost swallowed my tongue with it!”

“Is the chef of the first canteen bewitched??”

“I think it’s me who has been bewitched. This is not the first canteen in my memories!”

“I’m so touched!! I’ll use the blood of ten thousand people to beg the first canteen to don’t stop changing! Keep changing!”

“Help, my roommate who ate it had tears rolling down their face. I can’t bear to ridicule them, because I want to cry too!”

“Don’t mention it. I just sent a message to a female senior who just graduated. After she confirmed that it was not fake, she said that she would come back during the weekend. And she asked me to invite her for a meal in the canteen.”

A table of students from C university sat in the recently opened instafamous restaurant in University City, The Forest of Taste. After confirming that the first canteen had started to improve their dishes, they were so excited that they abandoned their queue number, which was about to be called on the spot, and returned to the first canteen to queue for food.

The Forest of Taste also employs CU students who work part-time while attending classes. In the restaurant, they were joking, “It can’t be helped. Our school’s first canteen is notorious and has a long tradition. Hahaha, I’d like to taste the food as well. But I think it’s generally because everybody ate so much bad food in the first canteen. So much so that 70 points can become 90 points.”

It’s just a group of people who gave up their queue number. Nobody gave it much thought. They only felt that it was amusing.

At this point, the shop’s waiters and diners, who wer eating happily and sweating from the spicy food, would not believe that a school canteen could pose a threat.

Perhaps only the other CU canteens would sense a minor challenge. After all, the enthusiastic students of CU emptied the first canteen of braised potatoes and sponge gourd of scrambled eggs dishes. vSlBEZ

However, since the first canteen could only hold a certain number of people, wouldn’t the majority of those who couldn’t get into the first canteen end up in the other canteens?

The transformation of CU’s first canteen had sent a slight shockwave across campus, and even President Cui was made aware of it.

And it wasn’t just the students who were talking about it. Many of CU’s young teachers eat in the canteen as well. As long as one tasted it, one will have to admit that even if one doesn’t have much of an impression of it, they will grade the two dishes 80 or 90 points.

The teachers would be more informed about the canteen than the students. The owner of the first canteen, for example, is a real relative of President Cui. Some had joked with President Cui that Boss Cui had saved them. 6JLK S

When President Cui found out, he didn’t think his nephew was interested in cooking. On the contrary, he assumed that his nephew was simply unwinding. Unlike past contractors who were out to make profits, the food quality did not drop.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

In fact, he was quite pleased to see this change. After all, the previous dishes in the canteen were being ridiculed so much that they were known all over the country. And it was not as if he was proud of that. Anyway, as long as Cui QiChao was willing, even if he made a loss, President Cui would allow it.

“That’s right, auntie. Or maybe you can improve some other dishes.”

“Unify the style of cooking.”

Li TingMei said with a smile, “It will be very soon. We will have improved dishes at regular intervals.”

Truthfully, after working in the first canteen for so long, it was the first time Li TingMei was being pestered by students, and for them to ask for more food. As long as she saw the students packed on the long tables and chairs outside, she felt much happier than before. Of course, this only applies to students who have gotten the normal dishes. FU4Rmd

Li TingMei’s workload as a first-floor chef has recently risen significantly. There was also a labor shortage when it came to serving dishes for the pupils. They requested for her to stand at the window to assist them.

Fortunately, because of everyone’s positive reaction, Boss Cui also said that he would consider recruiting people. After all, the pressure a chef will have will be even greater in the future.

There were some students at the back who had even wanted to have these two dishes for several meals, but they failed because the business was booming. The first canteen’s improvements were so surprising that even students who had never eaten in the canteen decided to try them, and they lined up to the door of the canteen.

“It’s estimated that there are still some in the teacher’s window…” 02Sf d

“Otherwise, let’s find the counsellor and ask him to help us grab some food?”

In fact, the teacher’s window was also very crowded at the moment. Moreover, many young teachers had no time to cook or take out. Therefore, they chose to eat in the canteen. Since the first canteen had made improvements, of course, they would choose to dine at the first canteen.

Even these teachers were greeting the staff. They strongly demand to have more dishes with similar tastiness levels. Otherwise, there would only be two dishes. In a few days, they will be tired of eating it.

Cui QiChao opened the suggestion box and found a thick stack of feedbacks in it, which was quite different from last time. LBs2eC

He looked at them one by one. The feedbacks were mostly praising the small progress made by the first canteen, and strongly demanding them to increase the amount served. There were so many people in CU. Many people only know the name of the super tasty braised potatoes and sponge gourd with scrambled eggs in the legend, but never tasted it.

What a shame, these students were still chasing after the two dishes. Cui QiChao showed a look of pity in his eyes. Since the feedback was very good, he decided to take the time out recently to improve two or three canteen dishes.

There was also another issue. That is to say, his millet pepper was flourishing. The millet pepper that was planted before school began has risen to a height of 40 cm. The plant was lush and luxuriant, with solid seedlings and rich roots. Some people who weren’t aware of this almost thought that this plant was specially planted for greening the school.

Cui QiChao will carefully observe these millet peppers many times every day and make adjustments in time. It seems that they will enter the budding stage soon and he will need to increase their nutrition. This millet pepper can repeatedly bear fruits, and after planting the first batch of it, Cui QiChao will pick up the best variety. doaIQv

If there were any agronomy experts present, they will note that these millet peppers are growing faster and have more spirit than ordinary peppers.

Cui QiChao’s potted millet pepper was still bearing fruit, but no one has the fortune to eat his own millet pepper in a dish except Meng Chang.

Cui QiChao had his sights set on the millet peppers growing outside the canteen. He intended to use them all to produce chili oil.

Many other problems, apart from the first canteen dishes often being in strange collocations, stemmed from the chef’s hasty preparation. It may also be bland at times, or contain excessive amounts of oil or salt. Therefore, instead of being used as a side dish, it was better to make some chili oil,  which is more versatile and can whet the appetite of students. edZ6Ws

Moreover, Cui QiChao didn’t plan to set a price for the chili oil. His plan for it was to place it in the window for students to use. Anyway, the quantity was not large.

Cui QiChao began by doing two experiments with his millet pepper and some purchased peppers to develop a better recipe. The spicy millet he planted was very spicy and brought slight flavor, but it was still not enough. It needs other varieties of pepper to enhance the flavor.

When Cui QiChao was experimenting with it, XiaoBai sniffed around curiously.

“No, cats can’t eat pepper,” Cui QiChao reminded the cat as he lowered his head. Of course, suggesting that the cat was not permitted to do so and implying that the cat was incorrect would help the cat understand what he was saying better. At0pb2

Recently, XiaoBai’s learning speed has improved by leaps and bounds. It seems that he had suddenly been enlightened. But he was still not very obedient. Or rather, there were many times when Cui QiChao felt that the cat understood the command, but it ignored it from time to time, as if it was throwing a tantrum.

XiaoBai still went to curiously smell the peppers, and heard Cui QiChao’s “No”. Instead of listening to him, it conversely stuffed a hot pepper in his mouth.

Cui QiChao quickly squatted down and lifted XiaoBai’s face up. Unfortunately, it was too late. XiaoBai vomited the chili peppers, and its face was full of tears and his hair was wet.

“… Sigh, it’s master said that it couldn’t do it. Why didn’t it listen?” Cui QiChao poured water to wash XiaoBai’s tongue. Fortunately, the peppers haven’t been swallowed yet. This spicy degree was already very strong for human beings, not to mention cats. MFZQoY

“All right, all right.” Cui QiChao held XiaoBai in his arms and carefully wiped away its tears with a paper towel. His tone was much softer than usual. In order to establish the dignity of being a master, Cui QiChao only shows a good expression when praising XiaoBai. His eyes became more vivid, as if it became more sentimental.

XiaoBai looks up at Cui QiChao. It’s eyes are shining, and the look in his eyes showed that he was wronged. After rubbing XiaoBai for a few times, half of its tongue was spit out, and its body softened gradually, and his head leaned against Cui QiChao.

Cui QiChao looked at XiaoBai. He placed it down, “Let’s practice the basic tricks.”

XiaoBai bowed his head and was very angry. pUVFCM

“Sit down.”

“Shake hands.”

“Lie down.”

“Meow.” ayrdsM

XiaoBai opened his mouth, “Meow—“

Cui QiChao rewarded XiaoBai with snacks, “Good cat.”

XiaoBai hesitated for a while before he opened his mouth and ate the snack, seemingly a little arrogant.

Cui QiChao chuckled, “Grow up quickly, so you can work in the canteen.” Cp J0x

XiaoBai: “…”

.

The canteen’s first crop of millet peppers had been harvested.  Everyone saw Mr. Cui cooking in person. He took off his coat and rolled up his shirt sleeve, but he still looked out of place in the kitchen. Judging merely from his face, people may think he’s experimenting.

But when it comes to making chili oil, they were silent. dnUDFN

After stir frying with millet pepper and red pepper, he made a chili noodles dish. The noodles did not need to be too thin. Then, he mixed them with roasted sesame. In this step of stir frying, the chili peppers were already emitting a unique aroma. The canteen staff couldn’t help swallowing their saliva, smelling it.

In addition, prepare star anise, fennel, cinnamon, and other spices. Heat them in oil, then drain the ingredients and leave the hot oil.

Pour a large spoonful of hot oil at about 180 ℃ into a large bowl of hot pepper noodles. Following the sizzling sound, the hot oil will create a slight groove on the red and coarse hot pepper noodles, as well as a series of bubbles.

The red pepper chips, soft yellow pepper seeds, and white sesame seeds were covered in hot oil, and gave off a heavy and spicy aroma. 1W8QR6

The reason why Cui QiChao makes such big bowls of noodles was to make it easier for him to stir. He glanced at the spoon in the bowl and used the hot oil to uniformly whisk the chili oil noodles. Every nook and cranny of the noodles had come into contact with hot oil. After sniffing the fragrance, everyone suddenly feels a strong sense of hunger…

As the oil temperature slowly drops, the hot bubbles have disappeared, and the amount of noodles was just right. The oil was slightly more than the peppers. A spoonful of red oil will curl around the chili peppers when one would scoop. The white sesame seeds floated on top, and the color appeared appealing.

At this time, Cui QiChao looked up and found that everyone was already standing very close to him.

“Is this our pepper? It’s too fragrant…” cdD69w

“I can have a bowl of rice just smelling this scent.”

“Mr. Cui, you’re very skilled!”

Cui QiChao laughed casually, “Make three more bowls of the oil and keep them somewhere for a few days. It will be more flavorful. After a certain time, put one bowl outside the window of each floor for students to scoop themselves.”

As everyone looked at it, they only felt that they were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to top it with rice to eat. P0zbdZ

A few days later, chili oil appeared outside the windows of the first canteen, from the first to fourth floors of the canteen. It was packed in a simple large porcelain bowl with a lid on it and a note stuck there with the words “Free chili oil for consumption.”

Several counsellors from CU came to the canteen to have dinner together. While looking at the dishes, they complained, “Why do I feel that it’s been ten thousand years since the last pay day. I’m almost penniless, but there is still half a month left.”

“Me too. At least I topped up my meal card in advance. By the way, why didn’t Xiao Wen come for dinner with us?”

“She went to eat The Forest of Taste with her boyfriend. She left a long time ago. And we can’t even eat braised potatoes. Everything has been scooped away. How early did these people come to line up?” 4H1nba

“Well, isn’t there still chili oil we can take? Look at how plain all the dishes are. It would be better to add some chilies. I can also imagine that I’m also eating The Forest of Taste.”

“You have great imagination!”
