Their demeanor, compared to Professor Hans and the others, though different in style, was just as fierce, if not more so!
In that moment, the director of the school office suddenly realized, no wonder Vice Principal He had a look of admiration in his eyes earlier. It turns out, he admired me for being the first to suggest starting the meal!
With this, Vice Principal He letting everyone eat freely seemed justifiable!
If everyone was eating freely, didn’t that mean Vice Principal He could too?
Thinking of this, the director of the school office felt secretly regretful. It’s all because I couldn’t hold back, while the director of the International Exchange Center next door hadn’t even spoken up, why was I in such a hurry?
The next moment, the director decided to turn sorrow into appetite and enjoy more of Jiang Yu’s dishes!
After all, the sky isn’t falling, eating delicious food is the most practical thing to do.
For a moment, in the "Winter" room, whether it was Vice Principal He and the others or Professor Hans and his group, everyone was too busy eating to talk, enjoying the feast of dishes with gusto!
Meanwhile, in the opposite room, the students from the Sun Never Sets were even more "fierce" than these teachers. After tasting Jiang Yu’s cold dishes, they were amazed by the spicy and aromatic flavors.
The students accustomed to spicy food were animated, exclaiming with delight, eating nonstop; even those who usually didn’t eat spicy found themselves sweating profusely and felt like their mouths were on fire, but the delightful taste wouldn’t let them stop, so they kept eating, wiping their sweat in between bites.
When the hot dishes arrived, the students scrambled even more, and in the blink of an eye the dishes were snatched up!
As a result, by the time the teachers in the "Winter" room were far from finished, these students were already stuffed, slumping back in their chairs, rubbing their swollen bellies, happily chatting away.
They felt that visiting Huaxia for an exchange was the right decision, as they wouldn’t have been able to taste such delicious food otherwise.
How else could they have experienced the vastness and depth of Huaxia’s cuisine?
With the arrival of the final dessert, a sweet and sour, soft and smooth hawthorn silver ear soup, the reception banquet was drawing to a close.
Drinking the sour and sweet, soft and tender hawthorn silver ear soup, Professor Hans felt as if he tasted the flavor of first love, and his belly that was full from all the food felt significantly more comfortable in an instant.
Of course, this wasn’t just a feeling, as hawthorn naturally aids digestion.
Professor Hans drank a small bowl in one go, yet still felt unsatisfied, lamenting that he couldn’t fit more into his belly without risking overeating to the point of sickness, he exclaimed:
"I’m truly grateful to Principal He for today’s hospitality. It allowed us to experience the vastness and depth of Huaxia’s culinary culture. Before, we couldn’t possibly imagine that authentic Huaxia cuisine could be this delicious. Just one bite keeps you longing for more!
This is simply astonishing!"
"Thank you for the praise, Professor Hans!"
Vice Principal He, although started eating later, was skillful with chopsticks, thus by now, he too was contentedly satisfied.
He smiled and said, "Huaxia’s culinary culture is an ancient tradition with thousands of years of historical accumulation. It is a great treasure of our Huaxia descent and also a significant asset to human civilization."
"Well said, Principal He!"
Professor Hans exclaimed repeatedly, saying,
"It’s a pity that many people in other countries can’t understand this. In my opinion, Huaxia’s culinary culture should go global. Such delicious food should be tasted by more food lovers!"
Pausing for a moment, he curiously asked,
"Principal He, I wonder if I could meet this exceptionally talented chef?
To be honest, I was a bit surprised when you first mentioned that this chef is a current student at your esteemed institution. I never expected his culinary skills to be so remarkable!
Now I’m filled with curiosity about him and eager to meet him. Could you fulfill this small wish of mine?"
"Why not?"
Vice Principal He laughed heartily, his face blooming like a flower, humbly saying,
"Professor Hans wants to meet him, that’s his honor."
Saying this, he turned his head and instructed the director of the school office to go to the kitchen and bring Jiang Yu over.
The director of the school office, despite being so full that walking was a struggle, had to go, even if moving was difficult, as it was the leader’s request.
So, he padded his swollen belly and shuffled slowly toward the kitchen.
Not long after, even before the director returned, Jiang Yu had already arrived. Upon entering the room and taking a glance at everyone, he smiled and greeted Vice Principal He:
"Hello, Principal. You called for me?"
"Ah, Xiaojiang, you’re here! Let me introduce you."
Vice Principal He was extremely enthusiastic when he saw Jiang Yu. After all, Jiang Yu was now a "treasure" of Jiang University. He had done the school a great favor today, bringing considerable prestige to the school in front of the international guests.
"This is Professor Hans, the leader of the visiting delegation from the Sun Never Sets. Having heard about you, he has great admiration, especially for your culinary skills, and is so impressed that he expressed a wish to meet you."
