Chapter 279

Two servings of Dongpo Pig Knuckle were immediately eaten up by Yuan Zhou alone after they were done .

“Burp . It’s definitely not because I eat a lot but because my craftsmanship is way too good,” Yuan Zhou looked at the clean plates and said solemnly .

The gravy inside of the plate was, naturally, eaten clean by Yuan Zhou together with a bowl of plain white rice .

“I’m too full and should do some exercises,” touching his belly dumbly, Yuan Zhou stood up and said .

“Ping Ling Pang Lang” . Having tidied up the used kitchenware, Yuan Zhou carried them to the dishwasher provided by the system to wash .

After that, he started to deal with the pork hock . He had prepared to serve this dish of Dongpo Pig Knuckle that evening .

As for publicity? Well, Yuan Zhou indicated that his superb craftsmanship was the best publicity .

He was now making the preliminary preparations first so that he could make it more quickly once someone ordered the dish . That way, the dish could be fresh, delicious and thoroughly cooked .

Su Dongpo, one of the greatest literator, painter-calligrapher and gourmet in the Northern Song Dynasty once made a poetic work of poetry Eating Pork, reading, “The superior pork in Huang Zhou region is as cheap as the soil . The rich don’t like eating it while the poor don’t know how to cook it properly . It should cooked with slow fire and less water . When the time is sufficient, it’ll naturally become delicious . Eating a bowl of the pork every morning prevents people from being hungry . “

Therefore, the heat control of the pig knuckle was quite important . Of course, there was also the particular time to eat the dish cooked by Yuan Zhou .

While Yuan Zhou was making preparations for the meal in the evening, Wu Hai just got off the plane .

The fastest way to go back was naturally to take a taxi, which was convenient and could save time and effort .

“Hi, Taoxi Road, please,” as soon as he got on the taxi, Wu Hai said straightforwardly .

“Alright . We’ll be there very soon,” the taxi-driver smiled and said happily .

This place was fairly far from here, which meant more fare, thus the taxi-driver was quite delighted .

At the other side, a person who had been attracted here by Yuan Zhou’s fame was also on the way to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

As a result, it seemed to be just the right time for Yuan Zhou to serve the dish of Dongpo Pig Knuckle . Wu Hai came back and besides, another person who admired Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship was also on the way here .

. . .

“Good evening, boss . ” Zhou Jia greeted Yuan Zhou with a well-behaved manner .

“Humm . We’ll serve a new dish tonight,” Yuan Zhou said straightway .

This time, Yuan Zhou told her about the new dish directly . Due to the matter of Honey Tremella last time, he had been attacked for a long time by the continuous grudges of Zhou Jia and Shen Min . Therefore, Yuan Zhou told her about that beforehand .

“Ok, boss . Please tell me the price . ” Zhou Jia was both happy and worried .

“Is it really good for the boss to be so capricious? Every time he serves new dishes, he neither gives notice nor publicizes . With his craftsmanship and popularity, the business will definitely boom after the publicity . ” While waiting for Yuan Zhou to answer her, Zhou Jia ridiculed him helplessly in the heart .

“The price is on the menu . ” Yuan Zhou signaled her to look at the menu .

Then, Zhou Jia turned to look at the wall behind her obediently .

As expected, there appeared another blank space on the price list, where the dish of Dongpo Pig Knuckle and its price were written .

“Hiss . . So expensive,” Zhou Jia couldn’t help saying in a low voice .

“However, the dish is a main course . The boss’s craftsmanship definitely deserves the price,” Thinking of Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship, Zhou Jia said as if it were obvious .

Yuan Zhou, nevertheless, turned around and continued to busy working in the kitchen .

“Boss, can I go to do some advertising?” Zhou Jia looked at the crowd waiting in line outside and then asked after a short consideration .

Because Zhou Jia had never seen Yuan Zhou publicize for himself, she was a little hesitant when she asked that . It wouldn’t be good if her boss didn’t like her to do that .

“Humm,” Yuan Zhou answered vaguely .

Then he observed the system and saw nothing special happen .

As was expected, the publicity from others had nothing to do with Yuan Zhou himself .

“It seems to be wonderful to have such a smart girl as Zhou Jia working here . ” Yuan Zhou thought dumbly in the heart . He obviously wouldn’t show any dislike to more money .

“Ok . I’m going now . ” Zhou Jia revealed a smile .

She first took up the phone and began to send messages in the gourmet group .

[Boss Yuan’s menu is updated . Good news to meat-eaters . The dish of Dongpo Pig Knuckle is hereby developed . It’ll be officially served tonight . ], from Jia Jia .

Ignoring the more-than-99 replies from the group, Zhou Jia put down the phone and went outside the door .

“Everybody, we are serving a new dish, Dongpo Pig Knuckle, in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant today . Everyone is welcomed to savor it,” Zhou Jia revealed a sweet smile and said loudly and clearly .

Instantly, the crowd became excited and the scene got noisy . Only then did Zhou Jia see the former regular customer, Wu Hai, ahead of the line .

At that time, many people who knew Wu Hai started to congratulate him .

“It’s really a wise decision to come back, Wu Hai . See? You can eat the new dish now,” Ling Hong first congratulated Wu Hai smilingly . Yet in the next breath, he continued saying with a tone full of teasing .

“It’s just that you didn’t manage to eat the sweet and delicious Honey Tremella and scalding and tasty Smoked Fish Silver Thread Noodles . Sigh . Boss Yuan is way too capricious . ”

Ling Hong was apparently provoking the anger of Wu Hai . As a result, Wu Hai directly fought back .

“It’s true that I didn’t manage to eat the very first serving, but I will eat them for every meal and every day . ” While stroking the mustaches, Wu Hai looked with disdain at Ling Hong, who was sometimes too busy to come, and showed off his advantages brazenly .

“I have money . ” Ling Hong tossed his hair and then added, “Moreover, I’m tall and handsome . “

Ling Hong had never lacked confidence .

“Ho Ho . ” With the manner of literary youth, Wu Hai showed much contempt .

After all, he was the renowned painter and had seen many rich second-generations such as Ling Hong .

“Haw-haw . I have been quite free these days and thus often come here . So many new dishes . What a happy life!” Ling Hong continued to stimulate Wu Hai .

He knew much about the degree of Wu Hai being picky about foods .

However, Wu Hai didn’t answer him anymore . Instead, he just waited there silently and prepared to order all the new dishes one by one . After all, he felt that he was so hungry that he could eat up a whole cattle .

In the middle of the line was a man who was dressed up strikingly . He was wearing well-fitting casual clothes and kept a towering spiky hair, with each and every one of them standing upright vigorously . With his big eyes and bushy eyebrows, he appeared rather handsome and manly .

Standing there motionlessly, he emitted sense of self-confidence from all over his body, appearing quite arrogant .

“How surprising! I encountered a new dish today . I’m really lucky . ” Once he smiled, he became more handsome .

Of all the people in the line, some cared about the taste while some others cared about the price . For the meat-eaters, however, they agreed that the new dish was terrific .

“It’s surprisingly Dongpo Pig Knuckle . Look, how clever I am . This is the pure meat dish . I don’t even need the plain rice to eat up a whole plate of the dish,” a thin middle-aged man said confidently .

“Are you sure? It’s so greasy . ” Girls didn’t show much interest in this pure meat dish .

“Of course . I almost drool on thinking of the sweet, tasty, soft, sticky and appetizing texture of the dish,” the thin man said happily with his teeth visible to others .

“I still feel that Boss Yuan’s Jinling Grass tastes great . Of course, the Braised Pork with Soy Sauce made of rice is also excellent . ” When the girls recalled the bland Jinling Grass and the yummy Braised Pork with Soy Sauce, they instantly felt that they were going to drool .

“After evolving for so many decades, humans aren’t living just for vegetables,” the slim middle-aged man said primly .

“Haw-haw . Yeah, that’s true . ” As soon as the slim middle-aged man said that, many people including girls chimed in with him .

“Well, all right . We’ll see if we want a try . But I’m afraid that I wouldn’t finish it . If so, I will get blacklisted . ” The girl was slightly persuaded . However, she wasn’t really confident that she could eat up one entire pork hock .

“Don’t worry . We can help you,” instantly, the crowd said in one voice .

It was really a cozy and friendly scene . Humans were truly creatures of unity, which meant strength .

Foodies were loving . Did anybody have inexhaustible money? Let me help you eat it up, for free . FREE OF CHARGE .
