Jiang Yu wanted to send some Qingming Fruit to Vice Principal He and Niu Wenlin for them to try. Even if he wasn't familiar with them or didn't have the time, he could have simply found a little girl working at the dining hall to deliver it. But instead, he came to me.

What does this mean?

It means that Jiang Yu and I have a good relationship. Otherwise, why didn't he go to Niu Wenlin or Fan Chuliang?

Moreover, Jiang Yu asking me to deliver the Qingming Fruit to others, even though it's not worth much money, clearly gives me an opportunity to build closer ties with other leaders.

Thinking about this, Xiong Bingsheng felt even more grateful to Jiang Yu.

"I see, then I'll trouble you to make a trip, Teacher Xiong."

Jiang Yu smiled at him and breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, he wasn't thinking as much as Xiong Bingsheng imagined. It was simply because Vice Principal He and Niu Wenlin, the leaders he knew, had helped him in various ways during the opening of the Seventh Dining Hall, otherwise he'd probably still be in the second dining hall selling steamed buns in a small stall.

Making Qingming Fruit and sending some for them to taste was just his way of showing gratitude, with no complicated thoughts behind it.

As for why he didn't deliver them personally, it's indeed like he told Xiong Bingsheng, one reason is that he wasn't too familiar, and the other is the worry of being seen, causing a negative impact on the leaders.

And since Xiong Bingsheng had a private meal with Vice Principal He and Niu Wenlin a few days ago, it seems that their private relationship should also be quite good, which is why he brought these Qingming Fruits to find Xiong Bingsheng.

Now seeing that Xiong Bingsheng accepted this task, Jiang Yu had nothing more to say. He stood up from the sofa and said with a smile,

"Teacher Xiong, I need to hurry back to the dining hall. There's still a lot waiting for me to do there. If you have time someday, make sure to come and visit!"

"Alright, alright, I'll definitely come find you when I have time."

Xiong Bingsheng nodded repeatedly. Actually, he had been frequently going to the first floor to eat recently, just hadn't gone to see Jiang Yu.

Mr. Jiang Yu is so busy, why would you keep bothering him?

He's no longer a naive young man who would do such annoying things.

He personally escorted Jiang Yu to the staircase entrance, watched him go downstairs, then turned back to the office and closed the door behind him.

Once the door closed, he eagerly ran to the coffee table, carefully opening the topmost takeout box.

This takeout box wasn't big, containing only four Qingming Fruits, two sweet and two savory, neatly arranged inside.

Looking at the still warm Qingming Fruits in front of him, Xiong Bingsheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva, quickly unwrapping a pair of disposable chopsticks, picking up a Qingming Fruit and stuffing it into his mouth.

As soon as he bit into it, his eyes widened instantly, his mouth fighting to suppress an exclamation, and Xiong Bingsheng devoured one Qingming Fruit in just a few bites.

Having finished one, he still felt a sense of longing, muttering to himself:

"I'll have another one, I'll have another one and no more, I'll take the rest for my wife and daughter to try!"

"..."

"These sweet ones are really delicious, but I wonder what the savory ones taste like... I'll try a savory one, mainly to see what it tastes like!"

"..."

"This savory one is so good, I'll... I'll go ahead and eat this last one too, anyway, there's two boxes per person. I eat one, and the other goes to the wife and daughter!"

"..."

"Or should I eat this box too? No, no! A person shouldn't be too selfish, I should think about my wife and daughter!"

...

Seventh Dining Hall, Second Floor.

"Boss, you're back just in time, come over and take a look!"

Jiang Yu had just returned to the kitchen, and Du Guangning approached with a frown, pointing to the menu copied from the reservation log at the reception desk and saying to Jiang Yu,

"What kind of dish is Blessed Pork? I've never heard of it, this surely isn't a Jiangzhou dish, right? And what is this stir-fried mixed vegetables?"

Jiang Yu took the menu and had a look; these dishes were pre-ordered by the guests in the "Mei" room, besides this Blessed Pork, there were unfamiliar dishes like Beijing-style shredded pork in sauce, crispy fried fish slices, cabbage wrapped chicken, white fungus stew, and stir-fried mixed vegetables on there.

Among these dishes, probably only the Beijing-style shredded pork in sauce was relatively familiar. In some restaurants in Jiangzhou, you can still often see it.

Some say this dish is Sichuan cuisine, while others say it's Beijing cuisine, but actually, you'll find Beijing-style shredded pork in many cuisines, with various ways of preparation.

With a quick glance at the menu, Jiang Yu could determine that the dish ordered by the "Mei" room was undoubtedly Beijing-style shredded pork in sauce.

Because on this menu, aside from Blessed Pork, other dishes like crispy fried fish slices and stir-fried mixed vegetables were authentic Beijing dishes.

From this alone, Jiang Yu could basically judge that the guest in the "Mei" room, if not from Beijing, was certainly from the North.

"This Blessed Pork is similar to braised pork but with a more complex process and more ingredients."

Jiang Yu pointed at these dishes on the menu, turned to Du Guangning and explained, "Oh, by the way, Blessed Pork is also a court dish, said to have been a favorite of Empress Dowager Cixi."
