The several men were chatting while drinking . As a matter of fact, the biggest difference between men and women could be seen at that moment . Women either talked about others’ affairs or about themselves .
For men, besides those that were familiar with each other and could joke among themselves, they might get along with others due to benefits . Having busied themselves all day long without a break, they didn’t have the same mood while savoring the nice wine in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .
Instead, they were more curious about what the dish that went with the wine might be .
As for Shen Xi, namely Chen Wei’s friend, who said that he wouldn’t drink, he truly didn’t drink any of the liquor . It might be because the alcoholic content of the liquor was so low that he didn’t have any desire to drink it .
At midnight, Yuan Zhou stood at the window and saw Shen Min take the last bus and leave, as usual . Only after that did he do his own things . That had become a habit of Yuan Zhou every night .
. . .
Early next morning, Yuan Zhou got up and went out to jog . Of course, the first thing that he did was to jog around his restaurant .
"Nothing special happened . So weird . He didn’t come, did he?" Yuan Zhou was naturally thinking about that arrogant thief .
"System, did anybody come here last night?" Having thought for a while, Yuan Zhou straightforwardly asked the system .
The system displayed, "He has been here . "
Following the simple and clear words was a video . While jogging, Yuan Zhou played and watched it .
However, Yuan Zhou misjudged the situation, "What the f*ck! This guy is sooooo ridiculous . "
Yuan Zhou couldn’t help bursting into laughter on the street . That was really funny .
The system marked the time of the happening considerately in the video . It was at about 2:40 am that the arrogant thief came . Dressed in black sportswear, he appeared rather capable and experienced .
He might have observed Broth before, hence took out the dog’s favorite ham sausage from the pocket and prepared to feed it .
Upright as Broth was, however, it wasn’t cheated by the thief . Instead, it lay prone on the ground silently and stared at the person alertly .
"Hey, eat some food . You must be hungry at night . " The arrogant man peeled the package of the ham sausage and then threw it over to the dog .
He acted quite professionally and appeared to have abducted and traded many dogs . However, he encountered a very smart dog, Broth, this time .
Broth basically didn’t eat the food offered by men . Even if girls tried to feed it, it only accepted the foods from the seemingly pretty girls . It was absolutely a dog pursuing beauty .
Therefore, Broth didn’t even glance at the ham sausage fed by the arrogant man, but just kept alert, seeing if the man would do something evil .
The arrogant man nevertheless still had methods to deal with such a situation .
He directly took out a miniature sprayer and spouted some liquid on Broth’s face . It shouldn’t be a virulent poison because Broth woke up just in a little while .
After Broth fell on the ground, the arrogant man began to carry out his plan . He wiped his hands with something and then began to climb the wall from the neighboring pub .
It seemed that he prepared to enter the restaurant from the pub .
Then, Yuan Zhou saw the funniest way of climbing the wall that he had ever seen .
At the beginning, the arrogant man leaped up steadily and easily reached the the top of the wall . But suddenly his expression changed . Right after that, he slipped down from the wall with a sound of "Zi Liu" .
Yeah, that’s right . He slipped down as if somebody had suddenly poured oil onto the top of the wall .
The arrogant man looked at his hands and then at the top of the wall .
"Interesting . I don’t believe I can’t even climb onto a wall . " The arrogant man rubbed his hands with something again and moreover bound them with strips of cloth for skid resistance .
That way, even there was truly oil on the wall, it would be absorbed by the coarse cloth and the wall wouldn’t be so slippery . As long as he could stay on the wall for a few seconds, he was confident to get inside .
However, things were contrary to what he had expected . The arrogant man slipped down again . This time, he took a fall and the dog, Broth, that fell over at the side also woke up during that time .
"Woo woo woo", Broth barked with anger and instantly rushed to him, trying to bite him .
Luckily, the arrogant man reacted quickly and immediately leaped onto the wall . In less than 1 second, however, he slipped down for the third time .
Then, Broth rushed up to bite him again and the arrogant man likewise wittily leaped onto the top of the wall again . Unfortunately, he continued to slip down as before . In the end, Broth just lay down at the place where the arrogant man slipped down . Once he reached that spot, it began to bite him .
"Haw-haw-haw" . Yuan Zhou really couldn’t refrain himself from laughing loudly as the scene in sight was way too funny .
The confrontation lasted for almost one hour . At last, the arrogant man escaped from Broth’s persistent chase and managed to leave with an S-style steps .
"He’s truly a talented person . " Yuan Zhou couldn’t help sighing with emotion .
With the erratic footwork of the arrogant man, Yuan Zhou believed that no one could catch up with him .
"Morning, Boss Yuan . " When Yuan Zhou sighed with emotion, Huang Ling greeted him with a broom in her hand .
"Humm, morning . " Immediately, Yuan Zhou tightened his face and revealed an expression of solemnity .
"Boss Yuan, you don’t look well . What’s wrong with you?" On seeing Yuan Zhou’s serious manner, Huang Ling had thought there was something wrong with him .
"I’m good . I intend to invite you to my restaurant for dish tasting . " Yuan Zhou held back his desire to laugh and pretended to be serious, hence of course didn’t look good . Thanks to his well-trained ability during normal times, he tried his best to make his face not distort .
"Gee? Me?" Huang Ling said unbelievably .
"Yes . You and your brother," Yuan Zhou nodded and said affirmatively .
"Why?" Huang Ling asked with puzzlement .
"I will invite the first person I see after I got up in the morning to do the dish tasting along with their family . It’s one of my rules . " Yuan Zhou spouted some bullsh*t calmly .
"But I’m not a professional gourment and am unable to give any useful suggestions," Huang Ling said with a perturbed manner .
"My dishes are served for the customers," Yuan Zhou said lightly and then prepared to continue jogging .
"But . . . " Yuan Zhou interrupted her when Huang Ling still wanted to say something .
"Come over here at 11:40 a . m . tomorrow along with your brother . Don’t be late . " Yuan Zhou directly brought out the time .
"Well, ok . Sorry to bother you," Huang Ling hesitated for a while and finally agreed .
She felt it might be a help to Boss Yuan . After all, she could feel that Yuan Zhou had helped her without a trace .
"Humm . " After a nod, Yuan Zhou ran further .
Having finished the matters one after another, Yuan Zhou likewise felt quite happy .
Due to the good mood, Yuan Zhou would naturally cook delicious dishes . It was the Soup Dumplings this time .
"Hey, grandpa . It’s been a long time since I saw you last time . " Wu Hai looked at the grandpa and the granny who were in the front of the line in surprise .
"Yeah . I have been absent for a long time . " The grandpa brought the granny and both appeared to be spirited .
"Judging from the smell, it’s definitely the soup dumpling that will be served today . " The grandpa was rather sensitive to food .
"I think so, too . " Wu Hai agreed to him with a nod .
"Why isn’t the beautiful girl here?" Looking back and forth, the granny suddenly asked .
"She hasn’t been here for long . " When Wu Hai recalled his painting that had the girl’s figure, the happiness on his face diminished a little . Then he said lightly .
"She might be occupied by something . " Ling Hong uttered suddenly .
Several regular customers of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant huddled together and chatted delightedly . The line became longer and longer too .
At that time, the door was opened after a sound of "Hua La" .
It was Saturday . Shen Min went up and said, "Business time starts now . Please come on in, everybody . "
"It’s finally opened . As soon as we come back, we can eat the soup dumplings . We are really lucky . " The grandpa sighed with emotion .
"Indeed . There isn’t any delicious dish as such in the city where our son is," the granny echoed, too .
Nevertheless, Wu Hai appeared to be slightly depressed and not happy . . .
