“I just don’t know if the taste is as amazing as Chu di ‘s.” Gabriel ate the alms bowl chicken and observed it curiously.
He wasn’t late to line up, but there were dozens of people in front of him. They were all black masses of people, men and women, old and young, without any difference in age.
There was a saying that it was better to come at the right time than to come early. However, this saying didn’t apply to Yuan Zhou. Early arrival was exactly what Yuan Zhou’s restaurant needed, and that was exactly what Gabriel needed.
“This is different from other places.” Gabriel thought about it.
It was indeed different. As someone who had been in Chengdu for five days, he had already queued up to get experience. Gabriel was certain that there was no other queue with such a large age gap.
Most of the customers in the other places were young people. However, if one looked carefully at the entrance of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, one would find that the age range of the customers here was not only wide, but also varied in professional attires.
“To be welcomed by people of different social classes, it seems that the taste is indeed not bad.” That was what Gabriel thought.
Gabriel was seriously eating his Guokui while lining up. He was not an exception, as he was not.
That’s right, Gabriel was eating the Guokui, which meant that he had finished the alms bowl chicken.
The reason why it wasn’t a special case was because of the small stalls selling snacks around the crowd.
This had always been the case at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. As long as Yuan Zhou opened the door, there would be all kinds of snacks gathered there.
All the customers who had been here said that people were the hungriest when they were in line at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. It couldn’t be helped that one would definitely be even hungrier when one knew that others were eating delicious food inside while one could only eat the wind here.
It would be fine if one didn’t try Yuan Zhou’s food on their first visit. But if they came here for the second time or for the nth time, the taste would be even worse.
It was because you knew how delicious the food was for those people. Just thinking about it made you drool. It would be great if there was something to fill your stomach.
Therefore, the snacks of these vendors were particularly popular.
Moreover, some of the people carrying the bags would even kindly help you throw away the garbage that you had finished eating. It would never affect your queue, so it didn’t matter if you ate a little.
Gabriel wasn’t the only one in the line who was eating. The others were also chewing on some food.
Of course, apart from Wu Hai, he would rather go to the restaurant than eat those.
The reason was very simple. This would make him eat less of Yuan Zhou’s dishes. It was impossible to eat less. Therefore, Wu Hai could only stay outside every time he was hungry.
“These heresy.” While stroking his small mustaches, Wu Hai turned his head and glared at the people queuing behind him.
Then, he turned around and looked at Yuan Zhou in the restaurant.
The line outside the door was bustling as usual. And there were also people in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant after it was opened.
This person was none other than master Cheng, Yuan Zhou’s apprentice, Cheng zhaomei.
“Master, you’re going to have a dessert party?” Master Cheng asked.
“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
“Alright, so I’ll still handle the miscellaneous matters?” Master Cheng asked carefully and excitedly.
“Of course, you’re the only disciple I’ve accepted.” Yuan Zhou said naturally.
“Hehe, alright, master.” Master Cheng immediately grinned happily.
“The scale is the same as the last Tea Party. It doesn’t need to be too big, just about the same.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Okay, master. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make it better than last time.” Master Cheng patted his chest and said confidently.
“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
“Then, should I send you five invitations?” Master Cheng asked.
“Sure,” Yuan Zhou nodded and then continued,””I’ll personally write it for master Ji and Lee Yanyi’s critics. ”
“Alright, master.” Master Cheng nodded his head and then took down Yuan Zhou’s words.
“That’s all for now. Go back and prepare first. We’ll do it in the middle of the month. There’s still half a month left, so there’s no rush.” Yuan Zhou said.
“I’ve noted it down, master. ” Master Cheng nodded.
“Alright, let’s stay here tonight and see.” Yuan Zhou said directly.
“Alright, master.” Master Cheng immediately agreed with a smile. Then, he turned his head and said to his daughter, Cheng Yang,””You go back first, don’t take up space here.”
“Dad, are you serious?” Cheng Han pointed at his own petite and thin figure, then looked at his father’s chubby figure.
“Of course, too many people will affect my master’s business.” Master Cheng nodded his head as a matter of course.
“Dad, you picked me up, didn’t you?” Cheng Cheng couldn’t help but suspect.
“Of course not. What nonsense are you spouting in front of my master?” Master Cheng frowned discontentedly.
Cheng Han took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. Then, he turned his head and looked at Yuan Zhou with an aggrieved expression,””Grand Master.”
“Cheng zhaomei, speak to the younger generation more gently.” As expected, Yuan Zhou turned his head and said.
“Yes, Master.” Master Cheng answered immediately.
On the other hand, Cheng Cheng looked at master Cheng complacently, as if his Grandmaster also doted on her.
Master Cheng took two steps forward and revealed a gentle and generous smile. Then, he held his daughter’s shoulder and said in a low voice,””I’ll get your mom to arrange a blind date for you tomorrow. You’re not young anymore.”
“I’m going home now. ” Cheng Cheng immediately turned around and walked out of the store.
“Be careful on the road. Go back and help your mother.” Master Cheng stood at the door and instructed Yuan Zhou. Then, he turned back to his previous position and looked at Yuan Zhou who was preparing the ingredients in the kitchen seriously.
When Yuan Zhou heard the interaction between the father and daughter, he couldn’t help curling up the corners of his mouth under the mask.
In fact, not only did Yuan Zhou laugh, even Zhou Jia who had been watching the whole process couldn’t help laughing. However, she went outside the restaurant to help the queuing Committee maintain order.
Time passed quickly, and soon, dinnertime began in the restaurant.
With Yuan Zhou’s cooking speed, it was already Gabriel’s turn to enter the restaurant to eat at 6:50.
As soon as he entered the shop, the simple and crude environment made Gabriel raise his eyebrows.”It seems that this chef is not very picky about the environment.”
While thinking so in his heart, Gabriel first looked at the open kitchen where Yuan Zhou was seriously stir-frying the pan while facing the customers.
The two stoves were both on fire. Yuan Zhou was holding a pot and a ladle in each hand. His movements were as smooth and natural as floating clouds and flowing water.
When he was tossing the pan, he kept his back straight and his hands naturally held the handle of the pan. What was being stir-fried in the pan was truly an alluring Golden God tier egg-fried rice.
With Gabriel’s sharp eyes, he could clearly see that the egg liquid turned from light yellow to golden yellow and slowly wrapped around the rice grains with each movement of Yuan Zhou’s spoon.
“Master … This is a master.” This sentence suddenly appeared in Gabriel’s mind.
“What would you like to eat?” At that time, Zhou Jia walked up and asked.
Zhou Jia was speaking in English. That’s right. After working in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, Zhou Jia’s English had improved tremendously. Now, she could already communicate with others and order dishes.
“Uh-huh, I’m not an American. I’m French. Can you speak slower?” Gabriel explained in stammering English.
Yes, Gabriel’s English was not good, but he could still understand it.
“Okay. What are you eating today?” Zhou Jia nodded her head and then asked in English word by word slowly.
“Alright, what’s your specialty here?” The word “unique” was spoken in Chinese by Gabriel.
In the four days since he came to Rong city, besides eating, Gabriel had learned a few Chinese words, and this word was one of them.
When Zhou Jia heard the word “unique,” she thought for a while and then pointed at Yuan Zhou seriously,””The biggest feature of our restaurant is our boss, boss Yuan.”
Eat the boss? Gabriel looked at Yuan Zhou subconsciously.
