"Everybody, do you have any request for this tiny restaurant?" Yuan Zhou suddenly asked on his own initiative .
"Request? Boss Yuan, I’m not blaming you, but your Chinese is much too poor . " Hearing Yuan Zhou’s word, Ling Hong said with a tone of contempt .
"Yes, it’s indeed a request . Do you have any?" Yuan Zhou asked seriously .
"I don’t have requests . But can I make a suggestion?" Ling Hong covered his forehead and said with a helpless look .
"A request is a request and a suggestion is a suggestion," Yuan Zhou explained primly .
"Ho Ho . Of course I know that and that’s exactly why I want you to say advice instead of request . " Ling Hong suddenly felt that Yuan Zhou might as well cook only . Communication seemed to be way too difficult for him to learn .
"Everybody, please tell me directly if you have any request . " Yuan Zhou straightforwardly neglected the annoying guy, Ling Hong, this time .
What a joke . It was the best occasion that he thought of for collecting requests of opening branch restaurants . Of course he had likewise organized the utterance by himself .
Ling Hong then choked . Other customers at the side had already been used to similar scenes and some even snickered while covering the mouth .
Every time somebody choked due to Yuan Zhou, they would have a weird pleasant sensation with the precondition that it wasn’t himself .
"Could you provide a little more amount for each dish?" Asked a customer naively .
"This restaurant is equally honest with aged and child customers . And the amount has no difference from that served by other restaurants," said Yuan Zhou seriously in response to this question .
"Yeah, of course, we know . It is because Boss Yuan cooks so well and we feel the amount is too little . " The customers were likewise quite skilled in praising others . Once the words were uttered, Yuan Zhou felt rather happy .
"Thank you for your compliments . What you just said indeed makes sense, but the amount will be maintained unchanged . " Yuan Zhou first expressed his gratitude and then refused the request of the customers .
"Boss Yuan, you are so proficient in the practice of getting moved and then refusing others . " The customer appeared fairly speechless .
"Humm, you are welcome," said Yuan Zhou naturally .
"I think it’s better to make some requests that are easier to reach . Of course, Boss Yuan, you have to tell us first if you will close the door after you collect them . " Ling Hong made a constructive suggestion this time while stroking the chin .
"No, I won’t . I’m just collecting the requests from you . " There was no other expression on Yuan Zhou’s solemn face .
"You sure?" Ling Hong didn’t have much confidence in Yuan Zhou concerning his moral integrity .
"Yes . " Yuan Zhou nodded the head and anticipated very much that he could collect some requests .
Then he checked the progress status of the mission completion conveniently . ----
[Main Mission] To become a regional gourmet representative (uncompleted)
(Mission tips: Being a minor celebrity can no longer satisfy your wild ambition . You must become a regional representative within one calendar month . Young man, I have faith in you . )
[Mission reward] To get promoted by one level up; one chance to draw lottery; an upgrade reward .
(Reward tips: for such a great reward, young man, go and endeavor to get it . )
"I’m afraid this mission can only be completed after the side mission," thought Yuan Zhou silently .
As for the side mission, it was smoother . He had completed parts of the mission by then .
[Side Mission] To collect 100 requests to open branch restaurants (uncompleted)
(Mission tips: one couldn’t be regarded as a master chef if no one applies for a branch restaurant . )
[Mission status] 28/100
[Mission Reward] A recipe of Dongpo Pig Knuckle
(Reward tips: a main course of Sichuan Cuisines, a must-have dish for a master chef . )
Seeing the reward, Yuan Zhou suddenly had a feeling of being moved . Men were all carnivores . For example, what Yuan Zhou often ate recently was the dish of Translucent Beef Slices .
"You can tell me your requests now . " Yuan Zhou revealed an earnest expression, indicating that he would listen to them carefully .
"You guys speak and I will listen," Yuan Zhou supplemented while processing the food materials .
Then, he received a succession of weird requests .
For example, "Boss Yuan, could you build a toilet? We wait for so long every day . " There were three physical needs that people couldn’t evade . The customer indicated that it was likewise very important .
"This restaurant is small, so I am unable to provide the toilet temporarily," answered him again .
"Boss Yuan, can you treat me to a meal?" a young girl asked boldly .
"No . " Yuan Zhou stared at her and refused bluntly . These cunning guys turned out to take this opportunity to
cheat his money
" . . . " The girl then became silent .
"Tsk-tsk . No wonder you have no girlfriend," said Ling Hong, being delightful in the misfortunes of others .
"You should think this way . If Boss Yuan has a girlfriend, she will naturally stroll around the streets and go shopping with him . What shall we do then?" another customer said lightly at Ling Hong’s ears .
"Damn it . That’s absolutely true . Boss Yuan, it’s good for you to be single . It’s healthy and environmental-friendly," immediately, another customer chimed in .
"I can provide toilet paper . "
"Two rolls . "
"I think Boss Yuan won’t find a girlfriend so easily in a short time . So don’t worry about that . " while stroking his chin, Ling Hong considered for a while and then said .
All the dialogues were heard by Yuan Zhou, but he didn’t take them seriously . He always believed that his EQ, craftsmanship and income were all very high . And so was his appearance when he wasn’t smiling . He was definitely the ideal Mr . Right for girls .
The father of modern psychology, Adler, once said that someone that praised himself everyday would become a perfect person .
Alright . This sentence was also made up by Yuan Zhou himself . However, he was quite faithful to that .
For the whole night, Yuan Zhou had collected only one weird request, not as satisfactory as he imagined .
However, at a place that Yuan Zhou had no idea of, some people were getting together and preparing to savor the dishes in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant . After all, the dishes were said to be awfully miraculous on the internet .
These people came to this city for both tours and delicacies .
They totally conformed to Yuan Zhou’s requirements . First, they came from other places; then, they loved delicacies . However, Yuan Zhou had no idea of that at that moment . What attracted him then was at the door .
"Good evening, Boss Yuan . " A young girl dressed in an orange-yellow sanitation worker’s uniform greeted at Yuan Zhou .
"Hi . You are early today . " Yuan Zhou nodded the head .
It was break time before the pub was to be opened . Standing at the door, Yuan Zhou was seen and greeted .
"Yes, I volunteered to help others do the cleaning today so that I can earn some more money . " On the tan face of the girl revealed obvious delight .
"Ok . How are the Chinese knots that I troubled you to weave?" Yuan Zhou knew that the girl was also selling handicrafts as her part-time job while doing the cleaning .
"Don’t worry, Boss Yuan . They’ll be finished soon . " while collecting the trash carefully, the girl answered .
"Sorry to bother you . " Yuan Zhou nodded his head .
"I should thank you for ordering so many products . " Hearing Yuan Zhou’s word, the girl straightened herself and thanked him earnestly .
"They are to be gifts . Take your time . It’s no hurry," said Yuan Zhou without blinking .
"Boss Yuan, your cooking is so good . Now, people on the street are becoming more and more . And even our boss knows our work is becoming more burdensome, hence increased our salary by 50 RMB . " With her eyes looking like a crescent moon, the girl seemed happier when she talked about her salary .
"Humm . " Yuan Zhou nodded his head lightly .
After only a few words, the girl left while collecting and sweeping the trash .
Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou saw her stop at the corner of the street .
Apart from an inconspicuous black Volkswagen parking there, there was nothing else . Yuan Zhou suddenly remembered that the car had been there for two days . In a little while, however, the girl continued to sweep the trash as if nothing had happened . Yet, it seemed that she worked even more carefully and earnestly .
Yuan Zhou turned around and went back into his restaurant . The girl was Huang Ling . She had once been invited by Yuan Zhou to work as an attendant in his restaurant, but she refused him . Only after that did Yuan Zhou order a batch of big and small Chinese knots . As for the reason, he would send them out as welfare .
As it was known to all that his business was booming, Huang Ling took the order earnestly .
