Gourmet Food Supplier - Chapter 351

Chapter 351: First Conflict Provoked by the Queuing Machine
"One more serving, please . " The fatty ate so happily that he shouted carelessly without noticing it .


"I'm sorry . Each person can only order one serving here . " Zhou Jia went up and said dutifully .
Even if she had seen the fatty for several times, she had to remind him smilingly . After all, many people often ate their meals happily and shouted like that subconsciously, which Zhou Jia had gotten used to .
"Oh, right . How could Boss Yuan just serve each of his customers only a few Mantous?" The fatty stroked his belly unwillingly and straightforwardly murmured .
"You can come again to eat at noon . " Zhou Jia suggested smilingly .
"I'd like to . But my wallet doesn't allow me to do that . It doesn't always increase in weight like me . " The fatty patted on his big and jiggly belly, which was fairly interesting .
Standing at the side, Zhou Jia didn't know what to say and thus just smiled .
"This fatty is so interesting . " Su Mu smiled lightly .
"Brother, please don't reach your chopsticks into my food steamer when you are talking . " Su Yuesheng seized Su Mu's hand swiftly .
"You misunderstood me . I'm doing this to check if you have wasted any food . Caring for my beautiful younger sister is my duty-bound responsibility . " Su Mu talked righteously and solemnly as if it were true .
"If you can put the Mantou between your chopsticks down, I will believe in that . " Su Yuesheng didn't let go of Su Mu's hand and signaled him to talk after putting down the Mantou .
"Although you are my sister, I have to say you are too stingy . " Su Mu struggled a little and found he couldn't make it . Only then did he say that to Su Yuesheng .
"Thanks for your compliment . " Su Yuesheng nodded her head and thanked him quite politely .
After staying with his brother for a few days, Su Yuesheng wasn't so shy anymore . Sometimes, she retorted back to her brother .


The customers that entered the restaurant first had the meal very contentedly while others waiting behind were also quite expectant .
"I heard it's a new type of food for breakfast . Boss Yuan is always so awesome . " The customers stood together by twos and threes and discussed .
"Exactly . I heard it's the delicious little Mantous . " Having stayed hungry for the whole morning, the customers naturally discussed the food heatedly .
"Hi, guys . Do you want to try the steamed buns that are freshly prepared?" A hawker went up to peddle his steamed buns immediately when he saw the several people discuss fervently .
"No, no, no . I have a number and will soon eat it . It will ruin my appetite if I eat yours . " One of them waved his hand continuously .
"Indeed . We'd rather drink some soybean milk . " Another customer thought for a while and then said .
"Yes, of course I have that . It's also freshly made this morning and hence very fragrant . Five cups of that?" The hawker wasn't really angry . Seeing that they have interest in the soybean milk, he immediately took out a cup of that and said .
"Ok . How much?" The customers touched the hot soybean milk and asked after a nod .
"The same price . 5 RMB per cup . " The hawker made a gesture of 5 with a smile .
"Here you are . " The customer handed him the money and then gave the soybean milk to the other four people .
"I'm still waiting for Boss Yuan to serve the soybean milk . " The customers murmured while drinking .
"Anyway, not today . " The other one shrugged helplessly .
Speaking of which, the breakfast sold by the hawkers around Yuan Zhou's restaurant was much more expensive, but there were more people who bought from them .
As they all knew that the hawkers that could stay here till now were all very clean . And the soybean milk was truly made from soybeans . Therefore, 5 RMB for 500ml of soybean milk was really not bad in their eyes .


Nowadays, people were quite particular about freshness, health, good taste, and safety . Even if they were not as delicious as the dishes in Yuan Zhou's restaurant, the business of these hawkers was pretty good .
The rule of positive natural selection was best reflected around Yuan Zhou's restaurant . Therefore, the noodle restaurant of which the boss was jealous of Yuan Zhou's business also existed because of its distinct taste .

Five minutes before business time in the afternoon commenced, the customers started to line up and swipe their ID for number tickets . The scene was very like in a bank . Here in Yuan Zhou's restaurant, however, one really had to line up for the ticket to eat lunch even if he was a personnel from the bank .
The first twelve people all proceeded smoothly . When it went to the thirteenth one, something unexpected happened .
It was a young man with a fair and clear face . He looked very young and comely . It seemed that he had never been here before .
He took out his ID and swiped it in front of the machine . Then it displayed, "Data error . "
He swiped it again and still, it displayed, "Data error . " after a sound of "Di" .
"That's weird . What does that mean? It doesn't want me to eat?" Stared by the crowd, the young man flushed slightly and shouted loudly .
"I'm sorry . Please swipe it again . " Zhou Jia came over hurriedly and said nervously .
It was the first time that she had encountered such a situation in the recent few days . Thus, she was also puzzled .
"What bloody machine it is! Is it broken?" The young man said discontentedly .
"No, it's not . It was just bought several days ago . " Zhou Jia explained mildly .
"The reality proves that . You are selling the dishes so expensive, but you don't even want to buy a good machine . " The young man insisted on his own thinking .
"Please try again . " Zhou Jia reached out her hand and signaled him .
After he tried again, however, it still displayed "Data error . "
"I don't care . It's definitely the problem of your machine . You must keep a number for me . " The young man stared at Zhou Jia and then said earnestly .
"I'm sorry . I can't call the shots . Please wait a moment . " Zhou Jia said with an apologetic tone .
"Ok . Hurry up . " The young man got out of the way and let others swipe their ID cards .
Seeing Zhou Jia running quickly into the restaurant, the young man got slightly relieved . In his eyes, there's supposedly no problem now .
"Boss, there seems to be something wrong with the machine . A customer is unable to swipe the ID card for a number . " On entering the restaurant, Zhou Jia said hurriedly .
"What's displayed?" Yuan Zhou asked calmly .
"He swiped three times, but every time the machine displayed data error . " Zhou Jia answered carefully .
"Let him leave . " After Yuan Zhou heard that, he said straightforwardly, without even blinking .
"Haw?" It was the second time that Zhou Jia had seen Yuan Zhou drive the customer away . However, there was nothing wrong with the young man except his not-so-good attitude .
"He's not using his own ID card . Tell him that he doesn't need to come again today . " Yuan Zhou raised his head and said that while looking at Zhou Jia .
"So it's the reason . Sorry, I'm going right now . " Instantly, Zhou Jia felt embarrassed and then ran out quickly .
In Zhou Jia's opinion, Yuan Zhou had given her such a high salary, but she worked so carelessly . She was really embarrassed about that .
At the other side, the young man who had thought it practically sure waited leisurely at the side .
He felt pleased in his heart and thought happily, "This Boss Yuan perhaps will compensate me . After all, I have waited here for so long and still can't get the ticket . Since it's the problem of his own machine, he will necessarily compensate his customer . "
Maybe he could also get his superior's recognition as he was one of the first several people .
This person indeed wasn't using his own ID card, nor did he want to come to eat by himself . He just heard his superior wanted to eat dishes served here but had no time and hence he volunteered to come .
As for no one being allowed to line up for others and people needing to swipe their own ID cards for the ticket, he didn't think a mere machine could distinguish between his boss and him .
Just at that moment, Zhou Jia went up to him and uttered politely with a tough tone, "I'm sorry . We only accept customers to line up in person with his own ID card . Replacements are not allowed . "
"You talk nonsense . Where's your boss? I want to see your boss . I'm indeed swiping mine . " The fantasy of the young man was interrupted . Therefore, he shouted guiltily .
"Boss Yuan says that you don't need to come again today . You can never get a ticket today . " Zhou Jia's tone became a little moderate .
"As for whether or not the ID card is yours, you should know that best," Zhou Jia continued saying .
"Humph . I don't give a sh*t . " Seeing others tend to gather around to watch, the young man immediately felt a little embarrassed . After he said that, he ran away right away .
"Take care . " Zhou Jia said courteously to the back of the man .
The customers became puzzled . Was the machine capable of recognizing if the ID card matched the person?
