Chapter 69 It's so good!
Looking at the unopened lunchbox in her hand, and then at her colleagues around her, all of them working hard and looking satisfied, especially Lao Li eating as if he hadn't eaten for several meals, her resolve began to waver.
She was actually a little hungry, and the aroma wafting over was definitely more authentic than the takeout food.
"Yuqing, why aren't you eating? It's really good, much better than what we usually order!"
With his mouth full of food, Xiao Wu mumbled his advice to her.
Lin Yuqing hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she couldn't resist the increasingly alluring fragrance and her colleagues' reactions.
With a hint of disdain and a touch of skepticism, she lifted the lid of her lunchbox.
Well, the presentation was better than she expected; it didn't have the greasy feeling of a large-pot dish, and the plating was clean.
She first used her chopsticks to pick at the garlic lettuce, picked up a small piece, and with utmost distrust, slowly put it into her mouth.
The teeth made a slight crunching sound as they touched the lettuce again.
The refreshing, sweet flavor, with just the right amount of garlic and oyster sauce umami, instantly filled my mouth. Lin Yuqing's eyes widened slightly.
The texture—
This seasoning—
It's actually just as good as the fancy salads she usually eats?
She tentatively picked up a small piece of chicken from the Kung Pao Chicken.
The first bite is smooth and tender, followed by a complex blend of salty, savory, and slightly spicy flavors with a hint of sweetness. The peanuts wrapped around the chicken pieces are incredibly crispy and fragrant.
This taste—
It's a very home-style dish, but it's inexplicably delicious and makes you want to eat.
Really fragrant!
Her chopsticks involuntarily reached for the most "suspicious"-looking dark brown pig's trotter.
The pig's trotters were stewed until extremely tender; the skin and meat could be easily separated with a gentle touch of chopsticks.
She carefully picked up a small piece of pig's trotter with the skin on, dipped it in the secret dipping sauce that came with it (Wang Sheng specially prepared a small portion according to the standard pig's trotter soup dipping sauce), and put it in her mouth.
Soft and chewy!
It's packed with gelatinous texture!
It requires almost no chewing; the rich aroma of meat, mixed with the slightly spicy dipping sauce and the mellow fragrance of soybean powder, melts in your mouth.
A warm, comforting, and satisfying feeling slid down my esophagus into my stomach, instantly dispelling the fatigue and irritability of the morning's work.
Lin Yuqing was stunned. This smell—
It reminded her of the braised pig's trotters her grandmother used to make when she was a child, and the long-lost, pure happiness brought by food.
She didn't say anything, lowered her head, silently ate a big mouthful of rice, and then picked up a piece of pig's trotter. This time, she didn't dip it in any sauce, but put it directly into her mouth to enjoy the pure aroma of the meat and the richness of the collagen.
tasty--
It's really delicious.
There's no fancy plating, no expensive ingredients, just the most simple home-style flavors, yet they're made to feel so comforting.
She ate much faster, completely forgetting about the pictures of the exquisite meals on her phone.
Zhang Ya looked around the office area, where everyone was engrossed in their work, only occasionally breaking into chewing and letting out satisfied sighs. A pleased smile spread across her face, especially when she saw Lin Yuqing's transformation from disdain to focused enjoyment. She walked over to Lin Yuqing and asked with a smile, "How was it, Yuqing? I wasn't lying to you, was I?"
Lin Yuqing swallowed the food in her mouth, a rare hint of embarrassment appearing on her face, but her eyes were bright: "President Zhang—this lunchbox is amazing. Especially the pig's trotters, it has—it tastes like home."
She paused, then added, "It's a bit like the stew my grandma used to make, but the flavor is more—more refined? Anyway, it's delicious!"
""
"See! I told you I could even win over my brother's picky tongue!"
Zhang Ya raised her eyebrows proudly, "The key is that the portion size is generous, and the price is much cheaper than takeout!"
Old Li had already finished his lunchbox, even mixing the soup with the rice, and was now holding a small soup bowl, drinking the last sip of soup.
He let out a satisfied burp, patted his belly, and exclaimed, "That was satisfying! A good meal, good food, and not expensive at all. Mr. Zhang, you've found a great supplier!"
"Mr. Zhang, are you still having any for tomorrow? We absolutely must order!"
"Yeah, yeah! This is so much better than takeout!"
"I could eat this every day and never get tired of it!"
A chorus of agreement rang out in the office area. Lin Yuqing also put down her empty lunchbox, gazing wistfully at the box bearing the "Shengji Canteen" logo, her preconceived notions about university canteens completely overturned.
She suddenly realized that if the boxed lunches were this delicious, how amazing must the dine-in meals be?
That window—how many mouthwatering dishes must there be?
She couldn't resist taking out her phone, snapping a picture of the logo on the side of the empty lunchbox, and then opening the map app to search for "Jinling University First Canteen".
At the same time, several colleagues were doing the same thing, whispering among themselves: "If I get off work early tonight, I really want to go to this cafeteria."
"They say their xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and cheung fun (rice noodle rolls) are their signature dishes!"
"I've seen the video; that fried dough stick wrapped in mochi looks so delicious—"
"Let's go together!"
These are the employees who ate boxed lunches.
Most of them are planning to try the delicious food at Wang Sheng's canteen!
When I first saw the news that the system was blocking access to students only, I was quite startled.
Fortunately, comments were allowed yesterday.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
the other side.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Zhang Ya felt much more at ease.
She took out her phone and sent Wang Sheng a WeChat message:
[Boss Wang, the boxed lunches are a huge success! Everyone loves them! Starting tomorrow, we'll officially sign contracts for thirty lunches a day! No, forty forty to start! Also, my hungry colleagues will probably be clocking in at your window soon, so I'm just letting you know in advance!]
When the insulated box was returned, Wang Sheng looked at the fifteen empty, clean lunch boxes inside, and Zhang Ya's message full of joy and additional orders. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
【Ding! 】
[The first link in the chain of tasks: A Culinary Revolution for Efficiency] is complete!
[Requirement: Successfully produce and consistently supply boxed meals that meet work meal standards, with a daily supply of ≥15 meals, for a continuous week.]
[Mission Reward: Charm Points +1!]
[Charm Value Integration in Progress — Maternal Affection Detected] Powerful boost! Latent charm value effects are initially activated: Significantly increased affinity, and collaboration efficiency with core team members +10%!
An indescribable warmth flowed into Wang Sheng's body, and he felt more energetic. When he looked at his mother, Wang Xiulan, and Su Weiwei, who was helping to tidy up, the feeling of tacit understanding and warmth was even stronger.
"Mom! It's done! Director Zhang said we'll start serving forty portions a day tomorrow!"
Wang Sheng waved his phone, his voice filled with excitement.
Wang Xiulan smiled broadly, her face crinkling with wrinkles: "Good! Good! I knew my son could do it! Forty portions—with a little effort from us, mother and son, no problem!"
Su Weiwei exclaimed excitedly, "Senior is amazing!"
"Huh?" But suddenly, Su Weiwei reached out her fair hand and tugged at Wang Xiulan's sleeve, looking uncertain.
"Aunt Wang, don't you think the senior student seems to have suddenly become more handsome?"
It was a feeling that couldn't be clearly described.
temperament?
Good looks?
It seems that both have changed.
Wang Xiulan was reminded by Su Weiwei.
It was clearly a blind student who discovered the key point.
"Huh? This does look much better!"
