Chapter 343: The First Crisis of Yuan Zhou’s Restaurant

While Yuan Zhou was preparing to attend an interesting contest, Li Li was thinking about his own failure in his restaurant .

“That guy looks young, but his craftsmanship is very good indeed . However, I’m not inferior to him, either . ” While tapping on the suggestion forms on the table, Li Li was thinking of the best method slowly in his mind .

He was not likely to be defeated by others all the time, which didn’t conform to his temperament as well .

“Stupid, stupid, stupid” . Li Li suddenly cursed himself continuously for three times and then knocked his head with his hand .

“Sure enough, I wasn’t calm at all . Why did I compete against him in the areas where I’m not good at?” Li Li felt it to be a little funny when he recalled what he had done for the past few days .

He might be right . Li Li was a senior western food chef recognized worldwide, and he was good at steak rather than these dishes . As long as the customers ordered the steak, they all praised Li Li .

Having straightened out his thinking, Li Li instantly felt better and hence selectively neglected the possibility of Yuan Zhou also serving steak .

“Beef Wellington is a nice option . ” Li Li remembered this famous dish in Britain .

That’s right . This dish came from Britain and was also a famous dish . It was quite well-known by people and the cooking method was also very elegant . It was considered to be a rare normal dish .

Compared with the Black Chocolate Roasted Eggplant, this dish sounded much more normal .

This dish was also what Li Li was good at . Of course, he had learned to cook this famous British dish in France .

After he decided on the dish, Li Li instantly became much more relaxed . He took off his chef uniform and went home .

. . .

Early next morning, Yuan Zhou got up for jogging as usual and then came back to cook noodles . After he finished the breakfast, he carried the remaining broth to Broth and afterwards, prepared the food ingredients for breakfast .

The business time for breakfast was still same as before . The restaurant was always crowded with so many people . After all, 100 servings was really not a lot .

Lunch time was also same as usual . Two hours later, Yuan Zhou stood up and announced, “I’m sorry . Lunch time has ended now . Please come earlier tomorrow . “

Such words had been repeated for many times in the past few months, therefore Yuan Zhou said them quite deftly .

Those customers in the line would soon disperse although they often complained discontentedly during normal times . However, it was Saturday today and they didn’t disperse as usual, but instead, gathered together . That made Yuan Zhou slightly puzzled .

“Liu Chen, do as what we have agreed on . This time, we must let Boss Yuan give us an explanation . ” A man who was dressed in sportswear and had been to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant for several times said to the other man ahead who appeared to be the headman .

“Everybody, please calm down . Let me get this thing clear . ” Dressed in the business suits, Liu Chen looked rather peaceful . He was wearing rimless glasses and appeared cultured . But once he talked, he directly silenced them immediately .

“My boss said that business hours for today have ended . Everybody, please leave . ” When Shen Min found they didn’t seem to be leaving, she went up and said .

“Don’t worry, little girl . We have something to tell Boss Yuan . It’s beyond your reach . ” With a mild tone, Liu Chen drove Shen Min away firmly .

“What’s the matter, guys?” Yuan Zhou frowned and asked .

Standing behind the long curved table, Yuan Zhou was directly facing the dozen of people led by Liu Chen in the restaurant . His aura was no less than that of these complaining foodies .

Well, that also included the crowd outside the restaurant . Some just watched the bustling scene while others were gathered together to riot .

These people must have prepared very well as they were all holding the banners in their hands .

Written on the banners were the following words, “Against unfair dining treatment . Strongly request fair queuing . “

As soon as they gather together, they attracted many people to watch .

While more and more people gathered and some even declared excitedly to resist Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, Yuan Zhou’s neighbor, Boss Tong, couldn’t bear it anymore .

“How can you guys do this shameless thing? Little Yuan has only two arms and naturally is unable to entertain all of you guys . Please be reasonable . ” Boss Tong shouted .

“We don’t mean that, but just want to talk to Boss Yuan . ” An organized and disciplined person who was holding the banner answered with a calm tone .

“Then why do you guys organize so many people to gather here?” Boss Tong pointed at the crowds that almost blocked half of the street discontentedly .

“Don’t worry . We just want to eat more of Boss Yuan’s dishes and wouldn’t go overboard . ” A girl turned her head mischievously and answered smilingly .

“I really can’t understand the young now . They caused such a big chaos just for something to eat . ” Seeing them finish talking, Boss Tong explained on her own to the people beside her why she did so .

Then she spoke no more .

The granny who sold steamed buns and soybean milk every morning around here also persuaded both sides .

Just in a little while, the personnel of the Street Administration Office came over when they saw such a big chaos . However, the entrance of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was thoroughly blocked and nobody could get inside, including Wu Hai and Ling Hong who returned instantly .

“Whoops! What are you doing here? I’m from the Street Administration Office . Please make way for me . What do you want to do by crowding at the door?” Director Wu tried to squeeze themselves in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant along with his assistant, but still failed after quite a while . She took a step back and said loudly .

“Yeah . You can’t do this . What if you guys block the whole street?” The young assistant also turned red due to the anxiety .

“This is a personal affair between Boss Yuan and us . ” The crowds refused with a tough attitude .

“Here’s the thing . If something happens to Boss Yuan, you are committing a crime . Calm down, everybody . Anything could be negotiated peacefully . ” Director Wu was an experienced staff . She first said something that sounded serious and then something else .

“We won’t hurt Boss Yuan,” the crowd said earnestly .

“If so, please make a way for us . Let me get inside and have a look . Maybe I can be of some help . ” Director Wu said immediately .

“Yeah . This restaurant is under our administration . If there’s any misunderstanding, we will surely provide help . ” The assistant also nodded her head continuously and said that .

“Boss Liu has given us the instructions . No one could get inside until the matter is solved . He hasn’t made a call to us . ” A person who was crowding at the door waved his phone and then said .

“What exactly are you crowding here for? I remember that you have been here for several times to eat meals . ” Stroking his mustaches, Wu Hai frowned and said .

He didn’t actually worry about Yuan Zhou’s security . After all, these people looked to have deep grudges, but they didn’t do anything immoderate and furthermore, helped to explain to others that watched the scene .

“Humph . ” Unexpectedly, these people who had a resolute but mild attitude directly gave Wu Hai the cold shoulder, not intending to answer him .

“Haw-haw . It’s definitely because you are too ugly that they don’t want to answer you . ” The originally serious tension was disturbed by the interlude . Ling Hong instantly burst into laughter .

Wu Hai completely disregarded Ling Hong . Nonetheless, wherever he looked, the people under his gaze would turn their heads away and not intend to answer him .

Ling Hong made eyes at Wu Hai, indicating “Watch me” . After that, he walked straightway to a girl .

“Hi, beauty . Look, it’s so hot . Shall I buy you some drinks?” Ling Hong believed that he himself knew something about girls .

He was so handsome and so rich . Normally, he would at most be refused politely .

However, the girl who was holding a banner just answered bluntly, “The way you chat up girls is already out of fashion . It’s too old . “

This time, it was Wu Hai’s turn to mock at Ling Hong .

Before he finished smiling, there suddenly came a voice from the other side, “The police are coming . . . ”
