  Before long, the Audi car came to a gentle stop at the entrance of Tianlin Food City.

  It's just lunchtime now, the store is crowded with people, Xiaoyu sees that there are many people eating now, so he asks the lobby manager Tao Hong to open a private room on the second floor, and they have dinner inside, the environment is also quieter.

  Tao Hong saw Xiao Yu bring out a beautiful girl in the morning, now back, but with two beautiful girls by his side, couldn't help but secretly sigh that Xiao Yu is indeed the boss, really has skills, even got a chick during the college entrance exam.

  Four people sat down in the private room, Xiao Yu asked Qin Lulu, Shen Mengqi and Zhao Shu to order something first, while he walked around the store for a while, but didn't see Old Zhang, couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, pulled Xiao Dao aside and asked, "Xiao Dao, where's my godfather?"

  It's the busiest time in the kitchen right now, and Xiao Dao is busy as can be. He was suddenly pulled out by Xiao Yu and was a bit dazed, taking half a beat to respond, "Oh, oh, you're asking about Old Zhang? He went to the wholesale market side, received a call this morning, heard that the demolition team is starting work there, but the demolition fee is a bit low, the residents organized a mutual aid association to resist the demolition, and Old Zhang is said to be one of the leaders, they asked him to go over and discuss things!"

  "Oh, so it's this matter." Little Yu nodded.

  He had long heard rumors about the demolition of houses on the side of the wholesale market. This house was Old Zhang's lifelong heart and soul, but because of his own college entrance exams, it was always Old Zhang who took care of things, and he himself didn't help much as a foster son and asked fewer questions. Now it seems that there are still many things going on inside, and tonight when Old Zhang comes back, he must ask him carefully.

  Let Xiaodao go back to work, Xiao Yu returned to the second floor again. Qin Lulu and others had already ordered what they wanted to eat. Xiao Yu also ordered a bowl of extreme chicken chop noodles, this bowl of noodles was enough to restore all his physical strength.

  Xiao Yu is the boss here, what he orders naturally comes up first. Before long, the four of them had ordered and their dishes were already on the table. Moreover, there were over a dozen freshly baked snacks that Tao Hong had specially instructed the kitchen to send over.

  "Wow! This roasted chicken wing is delicious!" Shen Mengqi was eating the roasted chicken wing at Xiao Yu's store for the first time, and she thought that the roasted chicken wing here was more delicious than the ones made by the head chef in "Jiangnan Spring".

  This roasted chicken wing Qin Lulu had eaten several times, couldn't help but give Shen Mengqi a white eye in secret, thinking "Little boot-licker!"

  Uncle Zhao, however, had a weakness for noodles and ordered a bowl of spicy sauce noodles. As soon as he took a bite, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction. The noodles were flavorful, the soup was delicious, and after one bite, he couldn't resist taking another. Although he had eaten his fill of delicacies from the mountains and seas, he felt that this bowl of noodles was not inferior to the shark fin soup in "Jiangnan Spring".

  Looking at Shen Mengqi with a roasted chicken wing in one hand, eating with her mouth full of oil, without any elegance of a young lady, Xiao Yu couldn't help but want to laugh and said to her, "Shen Mengqi, the sugar vinegar ribs you had last time were quite good! Who taught you?"

  "Hehe, I won't tell you, it's a secret unless you teach me how to make this roasted chicken wing!" Shen Mengqi slyly winked at him.

  Qin Lulu glared at her and cursed under her breath, "You little fox spirit, you're going to cheat people to death!"

  Zhao Shu was taken aback, his niece really didn't understand the situation, this roasted chicken wing was someone else's secret recipe, how could it be easily taught? The owner of the restaurant couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xiao Yu, don't be fooled by her, she attended a two-month training course at our 'Jiangnan Spring' culinary school last summer vacation, and when she graduated, only her sugar vinegar ribs were somewhat decent, everything else was unqualified, and she often got scolded by our team leader."

  "Uncle Zhao! I hate you!" Shen Mengqi saw that Uncle Zhao had exposed her secret and pouted unhappily.

  Uncle Zhao smiled and said nothing more.

  Qin Lulu listened beside with great joy in her heart, picked up a large shaobing and took a big bite.

  "Culinary school? Are there culinary schools in Jiangnan Spring?" Little Yu listened with great interest.

  "Of course, it's been going on for many years now, and there have been quite a few famous chefs who have come out of here!" Shen Mengqi said proudly.

  "What are the conditions for studying at this culinary school? Can someone like me get in?" asked Xiao Yu.

  He himself is in the catering industry, to say the least, it was just at the beginning, when he secretly learned some craftsmanship from Master Guo. In terms of formal theoretical knowledge, he can't compare with Xiaodao. After seeing the scale and lineup of "Jiangnan Spring" last time, Xiao Yu finally understood the truth that one mountain is higher than another.

  On Tianlin Road, his Food City is somewhat large in scale, but compared to those big restaurants, Xiao Yu's Food City has a business scope that is too single-minded, at best it can only be considered a snack street, not worth mentioning, and can't make much money.

  The Chinese love to eat, especially during the New Year and festivals. All major restaurants are in high demand, making a lot of money, and only those with the ability to host banquets can make a profit. As long as the chef's skills are good, business will definitely be booming, and just the wine and drinks alone will bring in a fortune.

  Xiao Yu has always wanted to go to culinary school for further study. Firstly, he didn't have time, and secondly, there are many unqualified schools everywhere now, so he doesn't know which one is good.

  This Jiangnan Spring has such a big name, the school it opens must not be bad. After finishing the exam in these few days, there's nothing much to do. University won't start until September, hearing Shen Mengqi say this, suddenly had the idea of going for further studies for two or three months.

  Besides, I brought Er Ya out of Henan myself, and I couldn't always let her help me in the kitchen. After all, I had promised her mother that I would let Er Ya further her studies at a culinary school. She's still young and interested in cooking, so if she can study at a culinary school, who knows, maybe one day she'll become a top chef.

  Shen Mengqi heard Xiaoyu say that he wanted to go to a culinary school to learn, and immediately patted his chest and guaranteed, "This is not easy, that school has a summer training class, about two months, I participated in the last one, let me ask my old man to call them, it's just a matter of saying!"

  Xiao Yu was overjoyed and continuously put several chicken wings into Shen Meng Qi's plate. Shen Meng Qi ate with a big smile, while Qin Lu Lu was furious and stomped her feet under the table.

  Half an hour later, Xiaoyu saw that Shen Mengqi and Uncle Zhao had finished eating, and the time was almost up, so he let Uncle Zhao take Shen Mengqi to school. Although Shen Mengqi looked very unwilling, under Xiaoyu's urging, she could only leave reluctantly with Uncle Zhao.

  After seeing off Shen Mengqi and Uncle Zhao, Xiao Yu's mood was great. Earlier, he had told them about his plan to go to culinary school with Er Ya, and both Shen Mengqi and Uncle Zhao said it was no problem and would give him a reply as soon as possible.

  Qin Lulu was confused, Xiao Yu is the boss, as long as he arranges his subordinates to work well, why go learn cooking skills?

  She had thought of going herself, but this was a school opened by Shen Mengqi's father, and with Shen Mengqi there, she knew very well that she would definitely not be able to get in, so she dispelled the idea.

  In the afternoon, Qin Lulu's weakness was math. After dinner, Xiao Yu spent an hour explaining some key points to Qin Lulu, who felt greatly benefited from this last-minute cramming session.

  After finishing their review, the two of them rested in the VIP room for a while before getting up and rushing to the examination hall.

  This time in the math test, Xiao Yu did not hand in his paper ahead of time. Math and language are different, it's not just about having a good memory, but also requires precise calculation and analytical skills.

  Compared with previous years' high school entrance examination papers, this year's math test paper is a bit more difficult.

  Firstly, the question types are relatively new and have never appeared in textbooks or daily practice; secondly, the newly added content of the second phase of curriculum reform also accounts for a certain proportion; thirdly, there are questions closely related to current events.

  Xiao Yu found that there were also difficult questions in the fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice questions, such as fill-in-the-blank questions 13 and 14; multiple-choice questions 17 and 18. These types of questions are rarely seen in daily practice and all belong to off-topic and difficult questions.

  Moreover, the two big questions with the highest scores, question 22 is a test of abstract functions, it's a learning ability to understand the intention of the problem, the type of question is not familiar, has a bit of math competition flavor.

  The last big question, the test of arithmetic and geometric series general term formula, sum formula, quadratic function, as the final big question, to find such a sequence, and to explain it, is not easy, and it's hard to get high scores.

  In the two-hour exam, Xiaoyu's brain was racing, his mind was completely clear of any distractions, and he felt that his thinking was particularly clear. In this state, one by one, the difficult questions were solved with ease, even the last two big questions were perfectly answered under his careful calculation and argumentation.

  After handing in his paper, Xiao Yu felt a wave of relief. He had already completed two out of the five exams and did exceptionally well on both, bringing him one step closer to the threshold of Zhongtian University.

  Qin Lulu encountered some minor trouble, due to spending too much time on the previous questions, and didn't answer the last big question, only completing the first small question. However, for her, it was also a good effort, after all, math is her weak point, as long as she can get an average or slightly above-average score, that's fine.

  What made Xiao Yu satisfied was that Wang Tao did not show up for the exam in the afternoon, it seemed that he was "sick" and unclear. This time, he had no hope at all, even if his father found a private university for him, but if the score difference was too large, it would not be easy to get in, right?

  Back in the store, Xiaoyu saw Lao Zhang's head at a glance, and he seemed to have just returned too. With something on his mind that he wanted to ask him, he quickly pulled him into his own office.

  As soon as they sat down on the sofa, Xiao Yu asked, "Uncle, I heard from Xiao Dao that you went to a meeting today? How's the house demolition and relocation going?"

  Old Zhang sighed, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and said to Little Yu, "Little Yu, this world is really dark! It wasn't until today that I finally figured it out, do you know why our neighborhood was demolished? It's because they want to build a subway exit on Mei Hua Road!"

  "Meihua Road? That's several intersections away from our neighborhood! If they're going to build a subway exit, it would only need to be a few hundred meters away. Why would they tear down buildings all the way here?" Little Yu asked in confusion.

  "It's all about the money! Because it belongs to municipal demolition, the demolition office only compensates us 2,000 yuan per square meter. After the demolition, they will sell the land to real estate developers and build new buildings. With the house prices along our subway line, selling for 15,000 is definitely no problem! Isn't this obviously a rip-off?! So, they hope the circle of demolition gets bigger and better!"

  Xiao Yu also felt that this matter was really overdone, although as a citizen, municipal construction should be supported, but this kind of crazy land grab in the name of municipal construction is simply somewhat ruthless and insane.

  Old Zhang continued, "The residents of our community formed a mutual aid association and negotiated with the demolition office more than ten times, but couldn't reach an agreement. In the past few days, the demolition office had workers drive the demolition vehicles into the community, preparing to forcibly demolish it. We organized people to block their way in front of the vehicles to protest, only then did they not succeed in demolishing it. Alas, as the saying goes, 'the common people can't fight against the officials', but this matter cannot be resolved without a fight, and it's too unfair."

  Xiao Yu's mood was very heavy, Old Zhang was already at an advanced age and still had to rush around every day for such things, but he couldn't help at all. He couldn't help but care and say, "Uncle, you're old, be careful, money is a small matter, health is a big deal! After I finish the exam, I'll accompany you!"

  Old Zhang chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Yu. My body is getting stronger with age. Besides, they are also officials, how can they dare to lay hands on us ordinary people? I came here for two reasons: one, I was fed up with their behavior; two, I wanted to save some money for my wife's dowry. Otherwise, who would have the guts to go and cause trouble with them?"
