Chapter 748: 748
The customers in the restaurant stared at each other in silence . Even Yuan Zhou sank into silence as he continued cooking, not even bothering to listen to the conversation anymore .
It was Wu Hai, who never knew what shame, that spoke, “Why not hold it in the restaurant then? You were already there, right?”
Chen Wei had a solemn expression, one that did not show what he was thinking . As for Sister Wan, she had a helpless look on her face . This Wu Hai seemed to truly suffer from brain damage .
“Due to the misinformation by the matchmaker, we didn’t even know who the other person was . I have the habit of arriving early anyway,” Sister Wan said .
“I see . ” Man Man nodded .
Wu Hai stared at Chen Wei for a bit before suddenly speaking .
“Oh, no wonder you ran so fast the other day . So it’s not that your general manager that was looking for you . I knew a head of security like you wouldn’t be afraid of a manager . After all, you two are at the same rank,” Wu Hai said confidently .
At this, nobody was looking at Sister Wan and Chen Wei anymore . They shifted their gazes onto Wu Hai instead . Of course, Wu Hai was not fazed by this . After all, this had been proven to be correct by Wu Lin .
“Sister Wan is a very good person, but I prefer the adorable type of girl,” Chen Wei suddenly said .
“I told you that is enough . You said the same thing the other day as well . I am a very flexible person who can get along well with anyone,” Sister Wan suddenly said as she glared at Chen Wei .
Chen Wei instantly shrunk from this outburst . He sank into silence and said nothing . As for Sister Wan, she flipped her hair and regained her gentle disposition, as if she was not the one who had burst out in anger earlier .
Her change came so quick the others were stupefied by it .
“Oh, looks like it didn’t work out,” Man Man muttered .
“I think so as well . Look, Chen Wei is so scared now,” whispered another customer .
“But I really think Sister Wan is very good,” a different customer praised Sister Wan .
“A woman’s heart is always unfathomable,” Yuan Zhou lamented inwardly .
“The noodles are here . Enjoy your meal, Sister Wan,” Zhou Jia said as she served what Sister Wan ordered .
“Thank you, Jia Jia,” Sister Wan thanked with a smile .
“Hi . ” People were constantly leaving and entering the restaurant . A short-haired girl entered .
This newcomer was none other than the colleague of Yin Ya . She seemed to be called Xiaochen and she rarely came here alone .
Of course, each time she came, she was very polite . She would always greet Zhou Jia, leaving quite a deep impression on the others there .
“Hi, Sister Xiaochen, what are you ordering today?” Zhou Jia gently asked .
“I’ll think about it for a bit . I have yet to make up my mind,” Xiaochen said as she pushed a lock of hair by her ear and picked up the menu .
“Sure . Take your time with the menu . I will go do something else for now,” Zhou Jia nodded and left .
“Wow, Boss Yuan has released so many new dishes,” Xiaochen was salivating as studied the menu . At the same time, she was sighing on behalf of her purse .
“Twice Cooked Pork, Braised Pork With Soy Sauce, Mapo Tofu, Kung Pao Chicken, and Steamed Sweet Pork . I want to try all of them,” Xiaochen muttered as she went through the menu .
After going through the menu three times, Xiaochen called Zhou Jia over again .
“What are you going to order, Sister Xiaochen?” Zhou Jia asked .
“Do you have Soaked Rice here?” Xiaochen took a look at the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine before she asked .
“Soaked Rice? Let me ask the boss,” Zhou Jia hesitated as she had never heard of this dish before .
“I think it’s also part of the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine,” Xiaochen added .
“Alright, let me ask the boss about it,” Zhou Jia nodded and walked towards Yuan Zhou .
“Boss, someone ordered Soaked Rice . Is this part of the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine?” Zhou Jia knew that Yuan Zhou was very busy when cooking . Therefore, she would go straight to the point whenever she needed to ask him something .
“Yes . I can make that,” Yuan Zhou answered .
“Ok . I’ll tell the customer,” Zhou Jia returned to Xiaochen and told her the answer .
“Then give me one serving of that dish then,” Xiaochen said after closing the menu .
“Ok . Together with a Welcoming Set Meal, the total price is 118 RMB . You may choose to pay in cash or fund transfer,” Zhou Jia said .
“Transfer done,” Xiaochen showed her mobile phone .
“Payment received . Please be seated . The food will be served shortly,” Zhou Jia nodded and left .
After Zhou Jia left, Xiaochen started muttering to herself, “I wonder how Boss Yuan’s Soaked Rice will taste like . ”
Then, she started staring at Yuan Zhou . Yuan Zhou was still cooking a Tea-smoked Duck ordered by another customer . His face was completely serious as he prepared the dish .
“Boss Yuan is still as handsome as ever . I wonder if he has a girlfriend . Boss Yuan’s girlfriend will be a very happy girl,” Xiaochen muttered with her chin cupped in her palms, looking completely smitten .
Just like that, Xiaochen stared blankly at Yuan Zhou with her chin cupped . Luckily, Xiaochen’s action wasn’t something out of place in this restaurant . There was a reason why Yuan Zhou had always been so narcissistic .
One ought to know that Yuan Zhou was still quite lucky with the fairer sex . Of course, nobody had ever confessed their love to him before, but quite a number of people had been staring blankly at Yuan Zhou like this .
Naturally, even men were staring blankly at Yuan Zhou like this . However, Yuan Zhou had been automatically filtering all these men out of his mind whenever they did that .
After all, adorable and gentle girls were always more visually attractive . The men staring blankly at him were mostly those who were stunned by his cooking skills or those who wanted to learn from him .
A thud suddenly sounded as something was set on the azure stone countertop, rousing Xiaochen from her reverie .
“Oh, right,” Xiaochen quickly stood up when she saw that Yuan Zhou was about to start preparing the next dish .
“Hold on, Boss Yuan,” Xiaochen called out at Yuan Zhou .
“Oh?” Yuan Zhou raised his head while cleaning a different pot .
“Erm, can I have the Soaked Rice cooked with overnight rice?” Xiaochen was somewhat bashful when Yuan Zhou looked at her . However, she still made her request .
“Yes, one of the ingredients in the Soaked Rice is overnight rice anyway,” Yuan Zhou said with a nod . This dish would taste better with overnight rice .
“Thank you, Boss Yuan,” Xiaochen heaved a sigh of relief and sat down .
“No problem,” Yuan Zhou nodded and continued washing the pot .
For Yuan Zhou, it was a responsibility to make the tastiest food he could as he was a chef .
Xiaochen looked around to make sure nobody was looking at her before continuing to stare blankly at Yuan Zhou .
In truth, it was understandable for Xiaochen to ask what she asked . Although Yuan Zhou’s food was known to be delicious, his food was also known to be very healthy . He cooked like how the advertisements on TV would say: no preservatives in his food . All his regular customers knew this .
With his open style kitchen, everyone would be able to see what he did when cooking . His countertop was bright and shiny and his ingredients all looked to be of top tier quality and healthy at the same time .
Therefore, Xiaochen was worried that Yuan Zhou would not have something like overnight rice . After all, food left through the night was considered to be unhealthy and had been badly demonized by the nutritionists .
However, if one did not cook the Soaked Rice using overnight rice, how would the dish still be nice?
“It’s good that Boss Yuan knows a lot about this dish . He is indeed worthy of the reputation he has,” Xiaochen lamented as she stared at Yuan Zhou .
