The invitation with the card had been sent out . At the other side, after Yuan Zhou offered the invitation to Huang Ling, she was very happy .

The first thing that she did after she returned home was to tell his younger brother about that good news .

"Huang Li, Boss Yuan invited us just now to go and savor his dishes tomorrow . " As soon as Huang Ling opened the door, she said that .

"Really?" There was slight suspicion on Huang Li’s pale face .

"Of course . He told me just now . " Huang Ling nodded the head smilingly .

"Sister, I really want to go there, but I don’t want to spend that amount of money . " Huang Li revealed a surprised expression and then said hesitantly .

"We surely can’t spend that money as it’s for you to cure your leg . " Huang Ling nodded the head earnestly and looked at Huang Li .

"Really? Are you serious?" Only then did a blush appear on the pale face of Huang Li as he become excited immediately .

"When has your sister ever cheated you?" Huang Ling nodded the head smilingly .

"Great . I can finally eat Boss Yuan’s dishes . " Huang Li stood up excitedly .

He liked Yuan Zhou very much, as matters involving Yuan Zhou were rumored to be miraculous and fantastic throughout this street .

For instance, his parents died unexpectedly and he survived independently and sturdily . After studying the culinary skills, he came back to inherit the restaurant and recreated the resplendence .

Some other rumors were directly saying that Yuan Zhou had a very high talent and studied the culinary skills from a royal chef . All in all, the rumors were all about some exaggerated stories that were complicate and eccentric . Yet, Yuan Zhou had no idea of that at all .

But Huang Li knew those rumors . Most importantly, he got to know that Yuan Zhou’s parents also passed, to which he found an emotional connection . Moreover, he heard that Yuan Zhou’s restaurant had been chosen as a regional landmark on the gourmet map .

That made Huang Li feel an even stronger emotional connection . Therefore, he was fairly expectant to go to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant to have a meal . It’s just that he shrunk back at the sight of the very high price .

Now that he got an opportunity to taste the dishes for free, Huang Li naturally became incomparably excited and believed more that Yuan Zhou was a nice guy .

Unknowingly, Yuan Zhou received another Nice Guy Card and a young votary in passing .

. . .

On the next early morning, Huang Ling saw her brother throw the clothes everywhere in the room when she came back from the cleaning work .

"What are you doing there?" Huang Ling was a little surprised .

"I want to find some good clothes so that we can go to eat decently," Huang Li said with slight embarrassment .

"Let’s me be your consultant and give you some advice," Huang Ling said smilingly .

"Great . Thank you, sister . " Huang Li cheered up immediately .

They picked the clothes for a while until Huang Li got satisfied and then they went out . Of course, it was still early, but neither of them liked to be late .

When they arrived, Zhou Jia was on shift .

"Come on in, please . " Zhou Jia welcomed the sister and brother into the restaurant . There were not many customers outside by then . It was actually only 11:30 a . m . when they arrived and the business time hadn’t started .

"Thank you . " Along with Huang Li who tried to walk steadily, Huang Ling walked into the restaurant unhurriedly .

"There you are . " With a nod, Yuan Zhou greeted them .

"Thank you, Boss Yuan," Huang Ling took Huang Li to the seat and said courteously .

"Don’t mention that . I have to thank you for your help," Yuan Zhou said with an earnest manner .

"But still, thank you all the same, Boss Yuan . " Huang Ling answered with a smile .

"Here are all the dishes available today on the menu . Please check if you need something else . " Yuan Zhou signaled Zhou Jia to report the names of the dishes and then asked politely .

"That’s good . They are more than enough for us . I heard that no wasting is allowed here . " Huang Ling nodded the head smilingly .

"Yes, there’s indeed such a rule . " Yuan Zhou nodded the head .

At the side, Huang Li nevertheless didn’t say a word all along . With his head lowered, he looked around constantly and occasionally looked back at the crowd that had formed a line . Of course, Yuan Zhou was likewise inevitably peeked at by him again and again .

"Let me go to prepare the dishes first . " After saying that, Yuan Zhou went back to the kitchen .

"Alright . Thank you, Boss Yuan," Huang Ling said politely .

After Yuan Zhou went away, Huang Ling asked Huang Li softly, "Huang Li, why didn’t you talk?"

"I didn’t mean to keep silent . Sister, look at Boss Yuan . " Huang Li was a little embarrassed . There had been always a flush of excitement on his pale face .

"He’s awesome . " As soon as Huang Ling raised her head, she saw the flowing knife skills of Yuan Zhou .

Yuan Zhou was supposed to be cutting the Translucent Beef Slices right now . Through the single beef slice, they could see the appearance of the knife very clearly at the other side . And when they looked closely at it, they found such a thin beef slice didn’t break at all .

Just like that, the two of them watched Yuan Zhou show off his craftsmanship and each dish cooked by Yuan Zhou . They were all like the work of art .

Then they got clear why the people outside formed a long line every day to eat in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant . Of color, fragrance and taste, only the visual effect had been able to reach the full score . Plus the seemingly wonderful taste, it was way really normal to have such good business .

When all the dishes were served to them and they were about to eat, the crowd outside likewise began to enter the restaurant for the meal .

However, they showed no interest in anything else except the dishes in front of them . The taste straightway conquered the two of them . As for the rules that Huang Ling bore in mind concerning how to savor, she had already forgotten them behind .

At such a wonderful moment, enjoyment was the most important . They would rather eat first before giving opinions .

Therefore, the meal paid by Boss Zhao and provided by Yuan Zhou in the name of dish tasting made the sister and brother feel quite satisfied . They even felt slightly embarrassed as they really couldn’t bring out any opinion .

Lucky that Yuan Zhou spoke sincerely all the time although he looked a bit indifferent . Therefore, when he said, "If you, as the customers, feel satisfied, others would feel the same way," to them, the sister and brother became relieved .

. . .

After the invitation matter ended, two days passed as usual . During the few days, Yuan Zhou had been practicing these exotic cuisines absorbedly .

At the other side, there was also some movements about Ma Jia who was invited by Yuan Zhou .

Though she wasn’t so popular, her acting skills nevertheless enjoyed great popularity among the people . As a result, many film crews asked her to act as a supporting actress . Recently, she was invited again to put on a play by a television drama .

Coincidentally, she was, right now, at a place not far from Yuan Zhou’s restaurant along with the film crew .

It was an episode in the winter . With her former working background as a drama actress, Ma Jia had solid acting skills and, moreover, was willing to endure hardship . She put on makeup early and got dressed up in the cheongsam and dummy marten coat in the high temperature of 30 degrees or so .

Her entire person revealed a feeling of supreme elegance . The eye lines that reached the outer corner of her eyes and the cheongsam with the slit up to the thighs made her appear indolent and charming .

In less than half an hour after the shoot began, something happened to the film director . Somehow, he suddenly suffered from diarrhea and asked to stop the scene for two hours .

At that time, Ma Jia’s assistant went up and helped her to change clothes .

"Just take off the coat and leave the cheongsam on me . Otherwise, I will have to put on makeup and get dressed up again," Ma Jia said with a gentle and sweet voice .

"Ok . Sister Jia, do you want to go out and wander around?" When her assistant found Ma Jia had nothing to do, she hung up the clothes and then suggested .

"Alright . There are only a few people around . Let’s go out . " Ma Jia also wanted to go out for a rest .

"Let me take you to wander around and eat something at the same time . You haven’t had your breakfast yet . We can have lunch outside and come back in time . " The assistant checked the time and then said .

"Ok . Let’s go . " Ma Jia changed her own high-heeled shoes and then went out with her assistant .

While preparing the dishes for lunch, Yuan Zhou suddenly muttered to himself, "The first customer that I invited seems to be arriving today . "
