Chapter 288 Staying in the Imperial College
In the canteen of the Imperial College, students lined up in a long queue waiting to get their lunch.
They first got some porridge and empty plates from the stove next to them, then took their trays to the window and lined up to get their lunch of roujiamo.
Each of the students had a smile on their face and their eyes were full of anticipation.
"Today's lunch is called Roujiamo, which is a new food that has not appeared in Yipinlou and the food court yet."
"Going to the canteen for lunch every day is my happiest moment. I can always taste some fresh food that is not sold elsewhere."
"What do you think Roujiamo is?"
“Do I even need to ask? You’ll know right away from the name, it must be a steamed bun with meat in it, right?
"But how do you sandwich the meat between the buns? Won't it fall off? Also, what kind of meat do you sandwich between the buns? Chicken or pork?"
"Just have something to eat. Why do you think so much?"
"That's right. The more I think about it, the hungrier I get. Anyway, County Master Yinghua will definitely have a solution."
"Yes, County Lady Yinghua's ingenuity is indeed unmatched."
"Stop talking, window number one is open, and it's time to start serving food."
"Window number two and three are also open!!"
"Hurry, hurry, everyone line up!!"
Dr. Wen was standing in line with several faculty members, and someone sniffed the aroma wafting through the air.
"What a nice smell! I was already quite hungry, and this smell makes me even hungrier."
Some students who lined up earlier received the roujiamo, and they couldn't wait to find an empty seat, sit down, and start eating.
Xie Mi, who was still waiting in line, smelled the rich aroma lingering at his nose, looked at the students who were chewing roujiamo in unison, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Just by watching them eat, you can tell that the roujiamo must be delicious.
Why is the line still so long after waiting for so long?
It really doesn’t seem short at all!!
When will it be his turn?? ! !

In the side hall of the Shen Mansion, Princess Lejia and others were eating roujiamo with gusto.
Pork fat is added to the Baiji bun, and a small amount of gravy not only soaks the pork meat, but also seeps into the Baiji bun bit by bit.
When you take a bite, the steamed bun on the outside is a little dry, but as you chew it, it mixes with the minced meat with gravy and gradually becomes soft.
The pork inside is braised with peppercorns, star anise and other spices.
The pork is cooked to perfection, the meat is tender and tender, melts in your mouth, and the flavors of the spices are blended into the gravy.
It has a rich aroma and tastes rich and soft.
The fragrance of flour becomes more obvious against the backdrop of the strong aroma of pork, and the two complement each other.
Chen Huazheng: "How does this Roujiamo taste?"
Princess Lejia swallowed the roujiamo in her mouth and said, "The pork inside is very fragrant, with the right amount of fat and lean. It is neither too greasy nor too dry when eaten with the steamed bun outside."
Although in her mind, the food cooked by Zheng Zheng is the most delicious in the world and no one can compare to Zheng Zheng.
But after all, she had never eaten the roujiamo made by Zheng Zheng.
Just judging from the roujiamo made by the cooks, it tastes very good.
Zhou Ying also said: "The steamed buns outside are a bit dry when eaten alone, but after being soaked in gravy, they taste very fragrant."
Chen Huazheng: "We can open a branch in the northwest step by step. We can't open a restaurant or food court like Yipinlou all at once. But we can spread food like Roujiamo there first."
For simpler foods like Roujiamo, cooks can make them independently after learning how to make them.
Princess Lejia suddenly realized: "Yes, even if you open a restaurant in the northwest, you don't have to make overly complicated dishes from the beginning."
If you really plan to open a restaurant similar to Yipin Lou in the northwest, you really have to ask the chef to go there.
Because ordinary cooks and cooks are simply not capable of doing the job.
But what if they just went there to sell food like roujiamo in the beginning?
In other words, there is no need for the master chef to leave the capital.
At the beginning, you can open shops and restaurants in the northwest, and then select some suitable chefs from the trained ones.
What decisions need to be made next will depend on the business situation.
Zhou Ying also understood what Shen Huazheng meant, but she had more profound thoughts.
"Zheng'er, this is a good idea. We can go there first to take a look. If we are sure we want to open a branch in the northwest, let the shopkeeper and the cook go there."
Zhou Cheng'an once told Zhou Ying that the most important step in doing business is to investigate the local market.
Things passed down by word of mouth are bound to be wrong; only what you see with your own eyes is the most trustworthy.
If they really wanted to open a branch in the northwest, they certainly couldn't just rely on General Xie's brief advice or make a hasty decision on impulse.
At least you can go to the local area to inspect the situation. If it is really suitable, it will not be too late to make a decision.
Chen Huazheng smiled and said, "Cousin Ying is still thoughtful. We should indeed go there to inspect it before making a final decision."
Since coming to Daliang, she has never left the capital.
I can take this opportunity to visit the northwest. I wonder if there are any interesting places there.
Princess Lejia: "It's easy. When Uncle Xie and his friends are about to return to the northwest, we can just go with them and take a look."
Although they would definitely bring guards with them when they left Beijing, it would not be as safe as leaving with General Xie and others.
We are all going to the northwest anyway.
Shen Huazheng and Zhou Ying nodded when they heard this. It was indeed a good idea.
It is just right that during this period of time they can continue to deepen their understanding of the Northwest through various channels, and also think carefully about suitable candidates to bring to the Northwest.
Both the shopkeeper and the chef have to make a careful selection and make a list.
…
Shen Kesi and the other three also received their lunch. As soon as they found an empty seat and sat down, they heard the monitors at the next table whispering.
"This isn't Roujiamo, it should be called Mojiarou."
"Why do you care what it is or what it is served with? As long as it tastes good, that's all that matters."
"Didn't the teacher tell us to use our brains more and think more in our daily lives? I am thinking."
"The teacher wants us to use our brains and think more when we are reading in class. He doesn't want you to think about these things while eating."
"That's right, enjoy your roujiamo."
Xue Cong looked carefully at the roujiamo in his hand. The outer layer of the roujiamo was about one finger thick, and the outer wall seemed to have been roasted, and the milky white dough was roasted to a slightly yellowish color.
The baked bun was cut in the middle and stuffed with some minced meat or something like that. It smelled very fragrant.
Judging from the appearance alone, it should indeed be called steamed bun with meat.
The reason why Princess Yinghua put "meat" before "mo" in the name was probably to highlight the presence of meat filling inside.
It was also the first time for the Shen brothers and Song Ye to eat roujiamo, and they all found it very novel.
Chen Keheng didn't care whether it was called Roujiamo or Mojiarou. Anyway, this was the name given by Zheng'er, and she must have her reasons.
It doesn't matter what it is.
What’s important is the taste of the roujiamo.
This steamed bun feels soft yet hard, which is quite special.
Shen Keheng brought the roujiamo to his mouth and took a big bite.
The baked bun is soft, chewy and fragrant.
The pork belly inside is braised, with alternating fat and lean parts.
The fat is not greasy, the lean meat is not dry, it is fresh and tasty, and it is oily but not greasy.
Chen Keheng savored the roujiamo in his mouth carefully and curved his eyebrows in pleasure.
It is salty, fresh, dense, soft, and paired with the chewy baked bun, it has a rich taste.
Every bite is a wonderful enjoyment.
The other three people also ate roujiamo happily, feeling the wonderful taste of pork and grilled steamed bun on their tongues.
The baked bun is chewy yet soft.
The pork meat is soft and tasty, juicy, and has alternating fat and lean meat.
When you take a bite, the deliciousness of the pork and the fragrance of the spices blend in your mouth.
Chew gently, and the fresh flavor of the pork meat spreads between your lips and teeth along with the juice, leaving a fragrant taste in every mouthful.
The taste is so good that you want to swallow your tongue too!!
Song Ye ate half of a roujiamo, then picked up the spoon and slowly ate the porridge in the bowl.
The porridge slowly slid from the mouth into the throat, light and warm.
There is a wonderful soothing feeling in my stomach and heart.
So comfortable~~

“It smells so good!!”
Xie Mi, who was sitting not far away, finally ate the roujiamo he had been craving for. However, he was reluctant to take a big bite at the first bite and only ate the grilled bun outside.
When he took the second bite, he deliberately bit deeper.
This time, Xie Mi finally tasted the fragrant meat filling inside.
If he hadn't sucked it at the right time, the rich juice hidden in the flesh would have flowed down the corners of his lips.
The students in the dining hall were also eating their roujiamo bite by bite, and after finishing they were still eating the white porridge in their bowls while praising the food with great satisfaction.
"The roujiamo is really delicious, not greasy or dry, the bun is fragrant and the meat is fresh."
"Yes, it is really comfortable to eat with white porridge. After a few mouthfuls of porridge, my whole body feels comfortable."
"It's so happy to be a student of the Imperial College. I am willing to stay in the Imperial College forever."
"How can we stay in the Imperial College forever? We might as well study hard, get good grades in the imperial examinations, and then return to the Imperial College to teach."
"Brother Tian, what you said makes sense. Only by becoming a faculty member can you stay in the Imperial College forever."
Dr. Wen, Xie Mi and his group were still immersed in the delicious food, unaware that some students were coveting their positions.
