Capítulo 20: I only feel grateful!
"Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallions!"
"Butterfly Sea Cucumber!"
"Braised Fish Balls with Scallions!"
"Dezhou Braised Chicken!"
"Oil-Braised Prawns!"
"Crab Imitation!"
"Sweet Potato in Syrup!"
"Nine-turn Large Intestine!"
"..."
As the teachers who had just entered the classroom placed one dish after another from the trolley onto the table, uncovering the plates.
Each dish emitted a different but equally enticing aroma, reaching the students' noses.
At this moment.
The students had already unconsciously gathered around the dining table.
They formed circles upon circles, completely surrounding the table.
In this day and age, to be honest, it's not that people haven't eaten good food.
Especially those who can afford to attend a private vocational college; even if their families aren't wealthy, they definitely aren't poor either.
Otherwise, why not attend a public vocational college that costs three to five thousand dollars a year?
And nowadays, parents are afraid of their children being mistreated.
They might not be willing to eat good food themselves, but they will likely satisfy their children's desires.
So even for dishes like Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallions and Nine-turn Large Intestine.
Some of the students had tasted them before.
As for the more common dishes like Crab Imitation, Oil-Braised Prawns, and Sweet Potato in Syrup, even more students had tried them.
But it was precisely because they had eaten these dishes before.
They were even more shocked looking at the dishes in front of them.
They wondered if they had ever truly eaten these dishes before.
Whether in appearance or aroma, the food in front of them was on a completely different level.
At this moment, the students' gazes towards the three teachers had completely changed.
Although they hadn't tasted the food yet.
They no longer doubted the three teachers' skills.
Whether they were top Shandong cuisine masters or not, the students didn't know.
After all, they had never met any.
But the teachers' skills were definitely good enough to be head chefs in those time-honored large restaurants.
Roy Wang was already salivating.
Any previous doubts had completely vanished...
Roy would never have thought.
Starbright Vocational College, this private vocational college with the lowest admission score, could invite such masters as teachers.
With such skills, why didn't they advertise it earlier?
If they had, the school wouldn't be short on female students!
The principal is too young, lacking experience...
Chef Xavier and the other two teachers smiled at each other as they saw the students' expressions.
However, they felt no pride.
Because such expressions.
They had seen them even on the faces of high-ranking officials in their world.
At this moment, these inexperienced students couldn't stir any emotions in their hearts.
Chef Xavier gave the students some time to absorb their shock.
Then he spoke, "There are bowls and chopsticks on the trolley, take them yourselves, then line up..."
"Some dishes need to be eaten while hot..."
"But since there are so many of you, you can only get a small portion each..."
As Chef Xavier finished speaking, the quick-reacting students had already started grabbing bowls.
As for only getting a small portion, the students didn't mind at all.
Such flavorful dishes were previously only seen in novels and TV shows.
Now they could actually taste them, what more could they want?
Moreover, there were so many dishes.
At this moment, they only felt anticipation and gratitude...
...
Tasting the dishes wasn't about everyone grabbing a bite themselves.
That would be too unhygienic.
And if someone took too much in one bite, the people behind might only get to lick the plates.
So Master Chef Xavier used chopsticks to serve each student.
The students formed a line around the classroom, twisting and turning like a snake.
Roy Wang, being a foodie, could no longer control his salivary glands.
Although slightly chubby, he reacted swiftly.
He was the first to grab a bowl and stand in line.
The first dish.
Sweet Potato in Syrup.
Roy had eaten Sweet Potato in Syrup before, but the one in front of him was different.
The golden color was bright and shiny, making him drool just by looking at it.
As it was served, it still had strands of sugar.
One bite.
Roy's eyes closed.
Although freshly cooked Sweet Potato in Syrup was particularly hot.
Roy didn't intend to spit it out.
As soon as he bit into it, it was a burst of sweetness.
Roy, who didn't usually like sugary foods, didn't find it cloying at all.
The sweet potato was crispy on the outside, soft inside.
The fresh aroma of the sweet potato and the sweetness of the sugar perfectly blended together.
This taste was far better than any cake or dessert Roy had ever eaten.
Not even on the same level.
After finishing, Roy felt an unsatisfied sense of loss.
Such delicious food, only getting to eat a small piece.
It was too torturous.
All he wanted at that moment was another piece.
But obviously, getting another piece was impossible.
So many students were still in line, salivating and waiting.
So Roy immediately moved to the next dish.
Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallions.
Roy had never eaten this before.
Of course, it was impossible for everyone to get a whole sea cucumber.
But the school wasn't stingy.
There were more than twenty sea cucumbers.
The teacher used a carving knife to cut off a quarter each time, then spooned a bit of sauce over it...
Next.
There was no more talking in the classroom.
Only sounds of students exclaiming, sighing, and humming in satisfaction, along with the occasional hiss from someone who was scalded but refused to spit out the food...
When the meal was finished.
The students, at the teachers' request, returned to their seats.
They looked at the teachers as if they were seeing gods.
What level of culinary skill was needed to create such dishes?
"My goodness, that Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallions was so fresh! I felt like my tongue was about to be overwhelmed by the flavor!"
"I once bought a Dezhou Braised Chicken on a train trip with my dad, it was old and tough, but today I realized that was a fake braised chicken, the real one is so delicious!"
"After eating the Crispy Pork Belly and Chicken Gizzards, I remembered I had this dish during a trip to Shandong with my parents years ago at a famous restaurant, but the difference is huge. The teachers' dish is crispy and tender, way better than that restaurant!"
"After eating the teachers' food, how am I supposed to eat the cafeteria food?"
Quite a few students were well-traveled.
The dishes made by the three teachers were even better than those from time-honored restaurants.
How skilled were these three teachers?
While the students revered Chef Xavier and the others.
They were also curious.
How did this underdog vocational college manage to hire such Shandong cuisine masters?
And there were three of them.
The principal must have used his lifespan to invite them!
And this scene wasn't limited to the Shandong cuisine class.
The same was happening in classrooms for other cuisines.
When top culinary masters showcased their skills, even just a glimpse.
It was enough to open the students' eyes!
