Time passed extraordinarily quickly when one was fully occupied. In just a little while, the two-hour business time ended.
“Business time for lunch today has ended. Please come earlier this evening.” Yuan Zhou stood in the kitchen upright and said while looking at the customers.
“Well, every time Boss Yuan says so, I have a feeling that I won’t make it tomorrow.” A customer let out a sigh and said sorrowfully.
“That’s not your illusion. Because you indeed won’t come in the evening.” Another customer beside him ridiculed without hesitation.
“Yeah. With such high prices, I’d be satisfied if I can save money and come to eat from time to time.” The customer stroked his belly and appeared quite satisfied.
“Indeed. It is also nice to have such kind of opportunity.” Another customer also said contentedly.
“Bye, Miss Jiang.” At the other side, Ye Liu, who had the meal earnestly all along, had finished all the dishes in front of him. He stood up and said to Jiang Changxi at the side.
“Bye, Mr. Ye.” Jiang Changxi said goodbye to him smilingly in a rare, ordinary tone.
After Ye Liu got the answer, he nodded the head and then turned around and left.
“Who’s this guy? He could actually make our ‘three lost’ woman appear so decent.” Wu Zhou revealed a look of curiosity on his face at the side.
“What do you know about? I am a decent woman every day.” Jiang Changxi gave a supercilious look at Wu Zhou.
“Tsk-tsk. Sister Jiang, you are lying through your teeth. I am guessing you have a crush on this person.” Wu Hai asked with a gossiping manner.
Of course, there were many other people who waited to listen to the gossip at the same time, for example, Yuan Zhou who was tidying up seriously, Zhao Yingjun at the side and the remaining two customers.
“What are you bullshitting for? Even if I have a crush on somebody, it must be Boss Yuan. Right?” After saying that, Jiang Changxi made eyes at Yuan Zhou sincerely.
Yuan Zhou shook the goosebumps off without turning a hair and then pretended that he didn’t hear it. Afterwards, he continued tidying up seriously.
“Don’t be silly. Boss Yuan isn’t likely to like Sister Jiang. I think Boss Yuan definitely likes beautiful girls like Yin Ya.” Wu Zhou said directly.
“Oh? Do you mean I’m not beautiful?” Jiang Changxi leaned forward and her expression suddenly became charming.
“No, no, no. Of course you are beautiful. But still, I think my sweetheart Mu Mu is the most beautiful.” Wu Zhou said wittily right away.
“Tsk.” Instantly, Jiang Changxi sat up straight and revealed a manner of boredom.
“That person is a well-known financial analyst. Numerous people want him to help them to invest. The key point is that his company isn’t here, so I guess he probably came here especially for Boss Yuan.” Jiang Changxi directly brought out the identity of Ye Liu.
“Wow, so that’s it. It seems that Boss Yuan is really awesome. Of course, I’m more awesome as I found Boss Yuan who cooked excellent dishes.” Wu Hai was stupefied for an instant and then smiled complacently.
“That’s because I cook well.” Yuan Zhou suddenly said with a solemn tone.
“Yeah, that’s all because of you.” Jiang Changxi continued teasing Yuan Zhou smilingly.
“Um.” Yuan Zhou nodded the head without any hesitation. He believed his personal charm was that attractive.
Seeing Yuan Zhou acting so narcissistic, Jiang Changxi was also a little speechless.
“The business time ends now. Please come in the evening.” Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.
After all, he had heard all the gossip and now, it was the time to check the mission.
“Alright. See you in the evening.” The remaining customers also knew that Yuan Zhou would sculpt in the afternoon. Therefore, they parted from him one after another.
“See you then.” Yuan Zhou nodded the head.
“Ta Ta Ta”. The footsteps of these people were getting further away from Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.
“Hooo. I can finally check the main mission.” Yuan Zhou sat down and then muttered to himself.
When he prepared the check the mission, however, he suddenly thought of the matter that many people came to ask about buying Boss Tong’s dry cleaning shop these few days. Therefore, he directly went up and shut the door.
After a sound of “Hua La”, the door was shut.
“There, I can check the mission in silence now.” Yuan Zhou got relieved.
After all, Yuan Zhou really wasn’t good at the social dealings, so he became relieved after he shut the door.
“System, receive the mission.” Yuan Zhou took a deep breath and then said.
[Main mission] From The Heart
(Mission tips: collecting 100 sighs of emotion from the heart saying that the dishes are so cheap.)
[Mission reward] Hot Pot Ingredients (Duck)
(Reward tips: duck intestines are an indispensable ingredient for a hot pot. So work hard for the Hot Pot Duck Intestines, young man.)
“Leaving others aside, didn’t you call me ‘youth’ before?” Yuan Zhou stared at the last two characters and asked with puzzlement.
The system displayed, “Host, you have leveled up to an intermediate chef.”
“Ho Ho. Don’t ever think that I don’t know just because I didn’t say anything. For quite a few former missions, you called me ‘young man’. Actually, I think I’m still young.” Yuan Zhou said with a tone of disdain.
However, the system didn’t answer him anymore.
Having solved that problem, Yuan Zhou started to check the mission carefully again.
“Sigh with emotion from the heart that the dishes are cheap?” Yuan Zhou opened his eyes widely instantly and revealed a look of disbelief.
“Well, I’d say the dishes are indeed very cheap on my own behalf. After all, the ingredients are reared even better than me.” What surprised Yuan Zhou wasn’t that the price was actually cheap.
Instead, what surprised him was to let customers say the dishes were cheap. He had started the business for so long, but never heard others say his dishes were cheap. Contrarily, everyone said the dishes were expensive.
“System, I think you are putting me in a difficult situation on purpose. Tell me what’s the purpose of this mission? Is there anything to do with my culinary skills?” Yuan Zhou said with an expression of “Are you kidding me?”
The system displayed, “As a chef, you must let your customers know the value of the ingredients you are using.”
“What does that mean?” Yuan Zhou didn’t quite understand the system, thus he asked again.
The system displayed, “Considering the price to quality ratio and the perfect taste produced with the excellent combination of the ingredients and your culinary skills, the current prices are really not expensive, comparatively speaking.”
“Yeah, that does make sense.” Yuan Zhou nodded the head.
The system displayed, “Host, please work hard to complete the mission and try your best to let customers recognize your wonderful craftsmanship.”
“You are definitely right. I don’t even know what to say.” Yuan Zhou answered habitually.
Then, he thought about it for an instant and then found it was indeed so.
Nowadays, customers that came for meals generally believed the dishes were so delicious that they were simply irreplaceable, but indeed, none had ever said it was worthwhile to eat the taste at such prices.
“It seems that I still need to improve my craftsmanship.” Yuan Zhou sighed with emotion.
Actually, Yuan Zhou couldn’t agree more with the price to quality ratio mentioned by the system just now.
“The reward is a Hot Pot Ingredient?” Yuan Zhou looked at the ingredient of duck marked behind and asked.
The system displayed, “Yes.”
“Is the duck intact?” Yuan Zhou asked curiously.
The system displayed, “In order to guarantee the freshness of the ingredients, all the ingredients are picked freshly in season.”
“Tsk-tsk. System, you are talking like the call center operators who always say that they need to record the conversation in order to guarantee the service quality.” Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of that when he noticed the system’s words.
Though it was teased by Yuan Zhou, the system actually didn’t have any reaction. Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou started to think about the way to complete the mission while sitting on the chair.
