Chapter 1047: Chapter 569: The Second Canteen is Falling from its Pedestal (Subscription Requested)_2

"Then I won’t disturb you any longer, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Director Xiao."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Yue began planning for Mist City Arts and Science University to host next year’s National University Sports Games.

"First, I’ll get a good night’s sleep," he mumbled then turned to take a bath before going straight to bed.

He slept quite soundly.

Probably because he was in a good mood, after all, Big White had returned to his side, and his Mist City Arts and Science University had just won the bid to host next year’s National University Sports Games.

The next morning.

Because Ding Yue went to bed early last night and slept soundly, he woke up a bit earlier this morning.

Today was October 8th.

It was quite a special day because all the freshmen from today onward would officially start studying their college major on campus.

The cafeteria had already prepared for this.

In September, due to the regular military training schedule for the students, the freshmen often arrived earlier than the sophomores and juniors for breakfast and lunch.

But starting today, the first, second, and third-year students would all come to the cafeterias at the same time for breakfast.

The Second Canteen appeared livelier than before.

Fortunately, Mist City Arts and Science University had more than just one canteen.

There were already two canteens before the campus expansion, and three more were built afterward.

That is to say, Mist City Arts and Science University now had five canteens, not including those small eateries.

However, after getting up today, Ding Yue still went to the Second Canteen as usual.

Since he was accustomed to the food made by the chefs at the Second Canteen, especially with his mother, Zhang Yuping, there often cooking something special for him, he couldn’t be happier.

However.

When Ding Yue arrived at the Second Canteen this morning, he felt that something was off.

Secretary Wen Ruohan had just gotten her food and, seeing Principal Ding, walked over to him.

"Xiao Wen, do you feel that the Second Canteen’s food seems a bit off compared to before?" Ding Yue asked, frowning at the secretary seated opposite him.

It wasn’t that the food at the Second Canteen had become inedible—the taste was still quite good.

But as someone who was used to eating there, Ding Yue felt that today’s food was indeed a bit lacking compared to before, like it fell short of the usual standard.

"Ah?"

Wen Ruohan was momentarily stunned, then took a bite of her pork bun and after a while, she too frowned, "Huh?"

"What’s wrong?"

Ding Yue felt Wen Ruohan’s unease and asked.

"This bun... the filling isn’t as juicy as before, what’s going on?" Wen Ruohan thought it was an illusion since she hadn’t eaten in the canteen for a few days during the National Day Holiday.

But the change in taste and texture was unmistakably clear.

"Has the quality of the Second Canteen’s food dropped? That shouldn’t be!"

Ding Yue couldn’t help but murmur in confusion.

Logically, the Second Canteen should have the best-tasting food in the entire Mist City Arts and Science University, which is why it was the most crowded. Of course, the food in the other canteens was also good, but those who were far from the Second Canteen wouldn’t choose it.

"Principal Ding, when I came to the Second Canteen today, I felt that the aunties serving food were somewhat unfamiliar," Wen Ruohan suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue immediately realized the anomaly.

He hadn’t noticed when he was getting his meal, but now that Wen Ruohan mentioned it, it seemed to be true.

He usually liked to get his food from a specific canteen window, which was typically served by a very kind aunt, but it seemed different today.

"Hmm?"

Ding Yue muttered, "What exactly is going on here?"

After a while, Ding Yue took out his phone and called his mother, Zhang Yuping.

"Hey, son, you’re busy early in the morning, why are you calling me?"

As soon as the phone connected, Yuping’s busy tone came through.

"Mom, I went to the second canteen for breakfast today and didn’t see you there. Also, why does the food at the second canteen feel a bit worse than before?"

Ding Yue asked curiously, "Did they change staff?"

"Yeah, yeah, the second canteen changed staff. I brought the original team over to the Fifth Canteen. It’s bigger and the location is more convenient for more dormitory students to come and eat,"

replied Zhang Yuping.

Hearing his mom, Zhang Yuping, say this, Ding Yue instantly understood.

There you go!

No wonder the food at the second canteen didn’t feel the same as before. It turns out that my mom, Zhang Yuping, took all the chefs she had personally trained from the second canteen with her.

Now, the chefs at the second canteen were also not bad, but compared to the group that Yuping trained herself, Ding Yue felt there was still a slight difference.

It’s quite the story.

The legend of the second canteen had continued for three years, and now it was finally falling from its pedestal.

After all, the second canteen was located in the old campus area, which is the eastern side of the current campus, where most of Mist City Arts and Science University’s students used to live.

However, as the campus expanded, more and more new dormitories were built in the central or western parts, making the second canteen less convenient for most students.

Because the food at the second canteen was delicious, many students wanted to eat there. But for students living in the western dormitories to come here, it would probably take more than half an hour of walking.

The Fifth Canteen, on the other hand, seemed to have a more central location and covered a larger dormitory area, thereby providing more students with access to the second canteen’s best dishes.

Zhang Yuping must have been thinking the same thing.

The best team of chefs couldn’t always stay in the second canteen, which was relatively small compared to the rest.

In fact, the second canteen wasn’t small, but compared to the newly built Fifth Canteen after the expansion, it was indeed quite small.

"Principal Ding, what’s going on?"

Upon seeing Principal Ding finish his call, Ruohan quickly asked, curious about what was happening.

"Just as I thought, the people from the second canteen aren’t the same ones as before; my mom took them to the Fifth Canteen,"

Ding Yue said, shrugging his shoulders.

The Fifth Canteen was actually quite close to Ding Yue’s apartment building, and a little closer to the Administration Building. This was quite nice for Ding Yue, meaning he could walk less distance to the canteen in the future.

"Oh oh, so that’s it. The Fifth Canteen, I remember, isn’t far from your apartment, Principal Ding. Oh man, Aunt Zhang really treats you too well,"

Wen Ruohan said enviously.

Good heavens.

Xiao Wen has quite the odd focus.

Ding Yue rolled his eyes at Wen Ruohan and said, "What are you talking about? My mom thinks the Fifth Canteen has a more central location and can serve more dormitories, so more students can enjoy our school’s best food. It has nothing to do with me, it’s purely a coincidence that it’s close to my apartment."

"Hehehe."

Wen Ruohan couldn’t help but scratch her head and giggle, then she asked Principal Ding, "So, Principal Ding, are we going to continue eating at the second canteen or switch to the Fifth Canteen?"

"Are you dumb? Since the second canteen has fallen from grace, why would we still go there?"

Ding Yue glared at Wen Ruohan.

The question didn’t even need to be asked.

Obviously, we would go wherever the food is better.

"Oh oh, got it, Principal Ding,"

Wen Ruohan quickly nodded in agreement.

It looks like there’s going to be a change in dining locations; the second canteen was going to become history, and from now on, the Fifth Canteen would be Mist City Arts and Science University’s go-to eating spot.

Wen Ruohan hadn’t been to the Fifth Canteen yet. Apparently, it was said to be twice as big as the second canteen or even more. At noon today, she must go and see for herself.

"Oh, by the way, Principal Ding, has our campus hotpot restaurant also moved to the Fifth Canteen?"

Wen Ruohan suddenly asked with curiosity.

This campus-themed hotpot restaurant can be called the first viral hit of Mist City Arts and Science University. To this day, many people still come to Mist City to eat hotpot, and the university’s campus-themed hotpot is a must-eat.

"Right, has the campus-themed hotpot restaurant moved over there?"

On hearing this, Ding Yue was also perplexed.
