Chapter 254: Dongpo Pig Knuckle

Translator: Xiong Guoqi Editor: DesTheSloth

Basically, Yuan Zhou’s ridicules wouldn’t be responded by the system, to which Yuan Zhou had gotten used . After checking the main mission, he directly continued checking the side mission .

[Side Mission] to collect 100 requests to open branch restaurants

(Mission tips: one couldn’t be regarded as a master chef if no one applies for a branch restaurant . )

[Mission Reward] A recipe of Dongpo Pig Knuckle

(Reward tips: a main course of Sichuan Cuisines, a must-have dish for a master chef . )

"Does the collection of requests mean the requests from the customers? Does a sentence count?" Yuan Zhou reacted quickly and asked .

The system displayed, "Yes, you are right . Requests from 100 different people . )

As soon as the requirement showed up, Yuan Zhou’s previous little wish was instantly put out . 100 requests weren’t very difficult, but was absolutely not that easy to reach .

"Lucky that I finally have a main course now . " Yuan Zhou looked at the reward and was quite satisfied with the Dongpo Pig Knuckle .

The system should have already provided Yuan Zhou with a main course in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

"A side mission and a main mission . They seem to have a relationship with each other," While stroking his front angle, Yuan Zhou looked at the two missions back and forth and said suddenly .

"Yes . That’s it . " On Yuan Zhou’s face revealed a smile . He took up the phone and started to look up the information required by him .

As a man who often played single player games, it was fairly easy to open a forum .

This forum was the place where Sun Ming helped Yuan Zhou to advertise his restaurant and also it was a senior gourmet forum .

The first mission was to become the regional representative restaurant, therefore it would require much fame along with the condition that he couldn’t publicize by himself . However, the fame was no longer confined to this small region .

Now that he couldn’t publicize by himself, the gourmet map became the best way to publicize himself .

Both the abundant popularity and the requirement of the side mission could mostly be reached only with the help of tourists from other places .

After all, the demand for branch restaurants only came from those who couldn’t eat the dishes locally . If they lived in Chengdu City, the demand would be much less . If they were in other places, the demand would become much more .

Of course, there were also people who didn’t want to travel a long distance for meals and hence required branch restaurants . But for most people, their wish was to increase the business time .

Chengdu City was famous for its advantageous geographical environment, pleasant climate and comfortable living environment . With the rapid development in these two years, more and more people came from other places for vacation . Besides, this city also had a good reputation as the "Capital of Foodies" . Apart from the tour, they could also enjoy the delicacies here .

This forum was the gathering place for those senior foodies . Anyone that came to enjoy the foods would basically log in to the forum to check the recommendations here .

Therefore, all Yuan Zhou needed to do now was to observe the updates of the forum to see how the fame of his restaurant was like .

The matters discussed in the forum basically changed rapidly . Having scrolled down the webpage, Yuan Zhou found in surprise that his restaurant was also listed in the discussions .

He tapped open the subject excitedly . It turned out to be a tasting article .

[In view of the recommendations by the previous senior foodies, I have been to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant personally . Now let me talk about the pros and cons . ]

The beginning aroused Yuan Zhou’s interest in reading on . He naturally wouldn’t make any progress if he just made a cart behind closed doors . Although he had the system backing him up, he was now taking a fancy to the feeling of cooking delicacies .

[First, I’m poor . So I just ordered a serving of Egg Fried Rice . As the saying goes, Egg Fried Rice is one of the fundamental dishes among Chinese cuisines . If one couldn’t even cook this dish well, he might as well quit . ]

[The taste and appearance of the Egg Fried Rice were just impeccable . Every rice grain was wrapped in golden yellow egg liquid and was separated from each other . Besides, the egg liquid was distributed evenly . When it was served, I almost forget to eat it, but only concentrate on watching it . ]

The person even attached a photo of the Egg Fried Rice to the part .

[There are two strange points . Firstly, Egg Fried Rice is really just Egg Fried Rice, without anything else apart from the egg and rice . Secondly, there is no fragrance at all when it’s served . I thought it was originally like that . When I place it into my mouth, however, I found that it was not true . It’s not that there’s no fragrance, but it’s just that Boss Yuan had wrapped all the fragrance inside the rice grains . Masterstroke!]

While reading the compliments in the article, Yuan Zhou’s face was full of smiles . It was always pleasant to be complimented .

[After the pros, I’m now talking about the cons . On behalf of all customers, I want to ask Boss Yuan a question . With such little amount for each dish, do you set the quantity on the basis of girls’ food consumption? Let me tell you . This is absolutely gender discrimination . ]

[After a serving of Egg Fried Rice worth 188 RMB, I was only half full . What’s worse, I don’t feel like eating even the same dish cooked by myself anymore since I have been spoiled by Boss Yuan’s appetizing dish . I have to warn you solemnly that you’d better come out and take charge for my loss . ]

The straightforward and incisive ridicule made Yuan Zhou fairly moved .

"Is the amount too little? But I feel it’s just enough . I can eat my fill with two servings . " Looking at the plate for carrying the Egg Fried Rice, Yuan Zhou felt quite satisfied .

Luckily, nobody heard that, otherwise he would surely be beaten until his legs were disabled .

Then, he continued reading the content below .

[And I suggest you not go there if you care more about the dining environment . Except for the sergestes wall, there’s nothing else in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant that could attract people . The geographical circumstance is only average and so is the decoration inside . Most importantly, Boss Yuan doesn’t allow people to eat while standing under the condition that the restaurant is so small . If so, why couldn’t you put another 2 tables?"

About this suggestion, Yuan Zhou identified with the person very much . Then he started to negotiate with the system over that .

"System, I’m going to be the landmark restaurant very soon . I don’t think 10 seats are appropriate now . " Yuan Zhou looked at the space at the door where it was fairly spacious to seat 4 people but the system only arranged two chairs . And the flower rack over there was also unpleasant to look at .

The system displayed, "Host, please endeavor to level up . "

"Will you unlock more chairs after I get promoted?" Yuan Zhou directly neglected the system’s answer and asked what he wanted to know .

The system displayed, "Host, please work hard to complete the mission . "

The dialogue was simply like, "Come on . Let’s hurt each other . "

"Couldn’t you just disclose something to me?" Yuan Zhou asked, not even giving up the slightest hope .

The quantity of the chairs also determined the increase of the consumers . Naturally, Yuan Zhou was concerned about that .

The system had already been used to Yuan Zhou’s request as such, thus it just neglected him .

"Alright . You win . I’ll go and check the mission . " Yuan Zhou picked up the phone helplessly and continued to check the forum .

With such an expression, he was just like Wu Hai who often choked by Yuan Zhou .

[The most most most important thing is that such a booming restaurant unexpectedly does not have a bathroom!!! Having waited so long time in line, don’t the customers need to go to the bathroom? Boss Yuan, you really have a strong kidney . ]

The bold exclamation symbol and the last ridicule was filled with endless grievances of the reviewer .

"How could a nice restaurant build a bathroom inside it?" While stroking his forehead, Yuan Zhou said with an expression of solemnity .

He would never admit that he didn’t think of that at the very beginning . For now, he was less likely to build the bathroom since the restaurant was so crowded . For the pub, it was also the same situation . Luckily, he provided only one pot of liquor to each .

As the reviewer commented reasonably, many people gave "like" below the passage as well as complained something else that Yuan Zhou didn’t do well in . As for those things, Yuan Zhou directly neglected, of course .

Preference for words of praise was human’s instinct . Yuan Zhou indicated that he was only an ordinary person .
