"This dish looks so delicious," the refined man said with a low voice .
The girl beside him merely lowered her head and smiled lightly . It seemed that she strongly agreed with the refined man's words .
That made the refined man, who was looking at her secretly, very delighted . His face under the black-framed glasses even became red due to the embarrassment .
"I'm starting to eat," the refined man took a deep breath and then said calmly .
On the other side, the girl just nodded her head, so slightly that others would barely notice, to answer to the refined man's word . In the eyes of others, the refined man was just talking to himself .
The nod of the girl was indeed inconspicuous . However, the refined man, that had been watching her in private, noticed that delightedly .
The White Wine Mussels in the plates of both people were giving off steam . Over the mussels was the verdant common garden parsley as a decoration . The purple shells along with the luscious flesh revealed from the tiny opening looked to be awfully beautiful .
"It's surprisingly purple! How beautiful . " The refined man picked up his chopsticks and slightly turned a mussel .
"As far as I know, the purple mussels are usually exported . It's not produced in this district and hence, we can hardly eat it . " With a blush, the refined man explained earnestly while looking at the meal in front of him .
Of course, it was well known to all that he was talking to the girl that sat beside him .
The girl didn't answer him but just tilted her ear toward him and seemed to be listening earnestly .
When the refined man looked at the girl secretly and found that she was listening carefully, his face turned redder, but he still continued explaining earnestly .
"This kind of mussels have a more beautiful name, the East Sea Lady . But nowadays, almost all mussels are cultured . " The refined man brought out the elegant name carefully, but then he found the latter part was wrong . Therefore, he added hurriedly .
"Of course I believe Boss Yuan's mussels are definitely grown in the wild . It smells very fragrant . " The refined man really smelled it after he said that .
"Besides, these kind of purple mussels growing in the wild are quite rare . The cultured ones wouldn't be so delicious . " The refined man pushed his glasses upward and continued to say with a low voice, "God knows where the boss gets these things . "
Seeing the refined man hurriedly try to explain, the girl, on the contrary, smiled .
Of course, the refined man dared not look at her directly . He just glanced at her secretly from time to time and then turned his head back and smiled furtively, thinking that the girl couldn't see that .
"I feel that it should definitely be very delicious . I'm eating it right now . " The refined man said again lightly .
"Ka Ka", it was the sound of the chopsticks coming into contact with the shell, melodious and beautiful .
The flesh of the mussels had been processed with special knife skills of Yuan Zhou . Therefore, the refined man picked up an entire piece of flesh very easily, including the small pieces of cylindrical flesh at the top . The golden outer flesh and the snowy tongue of the mussels trembled between the chopsticks from the man's strength .
Then, the white and thick broth dripped down . It looked fresh and tender . Along with the burst of fragrance that rushed into his nose, the refined man swallowed up the entire flesh with a single bite, disregarding anything else .
Once this dish entered his mouth, unlike other dishes, the texture arrived before the taste . An extremely fine and tender feeling appeared in the mouth . Right after that was the faint flavor of milk and a little tinge of olives, which wasn't intoxicating . Instead it just perfectly combined with the intrinsic fragrant and sweet taste of the mussels .
"Slurp Slurp" . While the refined man was chewing, the intrinsic salty taste of the mussels burst out again and dominated his entire taste buds perfectly .
Just like a skilled and humble commander, displaying the intrinsic freshness and delicacy of the mussels to the best .
"Hum . It's super delicious and gives a fragrant and sweet feeling . " This time, the refined man turned his head directly and looked at the girl earnestly .
The girl nodded her head with a sparkling gaze and also started to eat .
The refined man continued eating the dish unreservedly when he saw the girl begin to eat .
The chopsticks emitted a melodious tone upon touching the shells, harmonious and quiet . Along with the girl's smiling face, the scene appeared of great harmony .
"It's so good to be young . " Wu Hai turned his head and took a look at them and then sighed .
"Exactly . Being young is so nice!" Ling Hong also sighed with emotion .
"Eat quickly . Do you still have time to sigh with emotion? Can't you see the people at the back are all staring at you guys?" Man Man said smilingly at the side .
"No, no . I haven't finished the meal yet . " Wu Hai shook his head .
Then, he dipped the chopsticks in the broth in the plate and sighed comfortably .
"Boss Yuan, get me a serving of plain cooked rice . " Wu Hai shouted vigorously .
"Wow, a meat-eater changed to eat plain cooked rice now?" Man Man ridiculed him on purpose .
"Wait . Another serving for me . " Ling Hong was unwilling to fall behind .
"What are you eating the plain cooked rice for?" Man Man was puzzled .
Wu Hai eating rice could be attributed to his good appetite . However, Ling Hong, being particular about the food, had never eaten the plain cooked rice alone before .
"You'll understand later," Wu Hai said mysteriously .
At that time, Yuan Zhou carried two bowls of crystal white rice over to them personally .
"Pa", he set them down on the table in front of them and said solemnly, "You understand the significance of that and are really good at eating . "
"Of course . If I don't know it well, how is it possible that I come every day for meals? I'm blessed with sharp eyes," Wu Hai shrugged and said deservedly .
"That's because you are too idle everyday . " Ling Hong moved his bowl to himself and grumbled unreservedly .
"You are right . It's the time for you to draw . " Yuan Zhou nodded his head and agreed with Ling Hong .
"I just held my art exhibition and now I need more inspiration and rest . " Wu Hai said primly .
"You're bullsh*tting primly . " Suddenly, Yuan Zhou said that .
"What?" Wu Hai was listening but he didn't understand . After all, he didn't really like technological products and was even worse than Yuan Zhou that knew nothing about it . Actually, he didn't use them much at all .
The reason why he surfed the internet was first to go to the gourmet backup group and second, to contact Zheng Jiawei .
"That's right . Boss Yuan always hits the nail on the head . You are just lazy . Don't try to look for more excuses," Ling Hong laughed and then said .
"Boss Yuan, I think you'd better not surf the internet so much . Look, how bad you are now!" Wu Hai reacted and said bitterly .
"I'm keeping pace with the times," Yuan Zhou frowned and said earnestly .
"You are doing quite right . Please pay more attention to the demand of your customers, like the indispensable problems which include prolonging the business hours and enlarging the restaurant . " Man Man followed and echoed .
"I'm not capable to act as I would wish," Yuan Zhou answered simply .
"Boss Yuan, let me tell you . Man can never say he's not capable . " Ling Hong tried hard not to laugh out and said kindly .
"You are thinking more than necessary . I have six abdominal muscles . " Yuan Zhou was way too proud when he said that .
What a joke! He had already wanted to talk about his 6-pack, but just hadn't found an appropriate opportunity . Now was the best one he had ever encountered . After all, Ling Hong appeared to be a second generation tycoon that wouldn't do exercises as frequently as he did .
"Ho Ho . I have eight . " Ling Hong made a bodybuilder's pose .
"I don't believe in your words . " With a taut face, Yuan Zhou turned around and went back to the kitchen after he said that, not giving any change to Ling Hong to retort him .
He had only six abdominal muscles even if he was so handsome . How could it be possible that Ling Hong had eight? It totally didn't comply with the guidelines of the government .
Having returned to the kitchen, he used the little free time he had and started to conceive his new request for leave . How to make it perfect and meanwhile let his customers feel his sincerity, that was the question .
