At the other side, the system continued to show off its great knowledge without stopping .

The system displayed, "One thousand years ago, the yield of one wheat was 10 to 12 grains while now, it is 20 or so . It has more than doubled . "

"Besides that, the earliest remains of wheat were found in Peacock River basin, namely the Rou-Ran district . After combining the ancient wheat and the current wheat, the system believes that 16 grains on each wheat are in the best form . Therefore the yield of every wheat is 16 grains with each grain plump and full . The sunlight was natural while the rain was sufficient .

"The system uses the most careful method of picking the wheat heads by hand and then grinds the flour using the ancient processing way . "

"All the flour provided by the system is sieved for 6 times . Therefore, the flour is white and fine; the best choice for making Mantou . "

"Besides that, it contains starch, protein, fat, mineral substances, Ca, Fe, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, Vitamin A, and various abundant mineral substances . "

"All in all, you just want to tell me yours is the best . To summarize again, the flour that you provide is the best . " Yuan Zhou covered his forehead with his hand helplessly .

The system responded with silence and didn't pay attention to Yuan Zhou's complaint .

"System, I feel all that you provide me is the best . And if you don't charge me when I eat, I feel that it will be even better . " Occasionally, Yuan Zhou joked around with the system .

Although the system gave no response .

After the daily joke, Yuan Zhou washed his hands earnestly and prepared to make the Mantou .

Speaking of which, even Yuan Zhou's hand-washing water was superior . The temperature was just perfect, neither too cold nor warm, making it feel like it didn't even exist .

Nevertheless, its effect for cleaning hands was pretty good .

Yuan Zhou who suffered from obsessive-compulsive-disorder and the system that had an abnormal fear of dirt or contamination were a perfect combination .

On the other side, Yuan Zhou took up the bamboo splits beside him and brought out the flour before getting to work .

Dawn was getting later and later . At about 7:50 a . m . , the sky became clear and light .

"Yo . . . Wu Hai, you are so early . " Su Mu brought his sister here and waved his hand to Wu Hai ahead of him .

However, Wu Hai didn't answer him at all . Instead, he walked quickly to the door of Yuan Zhou's restaurant and swiped his ID card in front of the queuing machine . After a sound of "Di", there appeared two options on the machine . Wu Hai naturally chose the option "Eat On Time" .

Immediately, the machine spat out a ticket, on which a big number 1 was written . Seeing that, Wu Hai smiled contentedly .

"Tsk-tsk . You even don't let go of one single second . " Su Mu also went up swiftly to swipe the ID cards with Su Yuesheng .

"Of course . I live so close," Wu Hai stroked his small mustache and said proudly .

"It's all because of you . Otherwise, we don't even need to line up . " Su Mu wouldn't admit failure so easily .

"Never mind . Boss Yuan will also need it later . But I was absolutely wise when it came to buying this house . " Wu Hai turned his head and took a look at the art studio on the second floor of the building across the street .

"You are really awesome! It seems that I also need to invest in a house . " Su Mu was considering the feasibility of the matter .

"It's our turn now . " Seeing the two guys chatting in front of the queuing machine, others that waited behind them couldn't help saying that .

"I'm sorry . " Su Mu brought his sister a few steps back and made way for others .

Then, the crowd rushed to swipe their ID cards like a swarm of bees .

The time set by Yuan Zhou was quite reasonable . The customers could get the first twenty numbers about five minutes before the meal started . Of course, as convention suggested, whoever came earlier got the smaller number . After the meal commenced officially, others behind could only get the bigger numbers .

That way, it saved a lot of time that would have been delayed in getting the numbers one by one . Yet, it also didn't go so far as not to let others behind get the number .

During the past two days after the queuing machine was used, things went very smoothly without any problems .

After a sound of "Hua La", the door was opened . Zhou Jia stood out and said smilingly, "Business time starts now . "

"Ah . Finally . I'm almost dead from hunger . Luckily I got the first number . " While entering the restaurant, the customer didn't forget to show off .

"Indeed . What will Boss Yuan provide for breakfast today?" Customers always cared more about the dishes .

"The Thousand Layer Mantou will be provided today . The price has been made known publicly . Also, you can see it on the menu . " Yuan Zhou pointed at the menus on the wall behind and in front of everyone .

"Mantou? The kind without any meat stuffing?" A fat customer frowned discontentedly .

"Don't you like it? You can give it to me . " Wu Hai was quite sensitive to such matters . He went up immediately on hearing that .

"Not really . I prefer to eat soup dumplings or sesame seed cake now . I haven't eaten them for a long time . " The fatty touched his belly and said alertly .

"If you can't finish them, you can share some with me beforehand to prevent you from getting blacklisted . " Stroking his small mustache, Wu Hai said mildly .

He talked as if he were kindly offering help .

"No, no . Look at my figure and you'll know my appetite . I can surely eat them up . " The fatty patted on his belly and said with quite a convincing tone .

"Oh . " Wu Hai nodded his head and then said no more .

"This brat wants to cheat others again . " Su Mu turned his head and said to Su Yuesheng . Just before Su Yuesheng reacted, however, he immediately said in the opposite direction, "Yuesheng, I remember that you don't like eating Mantous, right? Let me treat you to some pastries and help you to eat up the Mantou . "

"Ho Ho . " The scorn on the girl's face almost overflowed .

They all wanted to take advantage of others with a seemingly high-handed reason .

The failure of cheating for others' food didn't affect Wu Hai's mood . After all, he had never succeeded once and thus already got used to that . Seeing the food carried to him, he began to eat it immediately .

"Here's your Thousand Layer Mantou . " Zhou Jia carried the food steamer up and put it in front of the fatty .

"Um . " The fatty nodded his head .

The heat emitted from the food steamer, where several walnut-sized Mantou lay . The color was snowy white while the skin was silvery . They all looked exquisite and adorable .

"Is this Mantou? They look so small . I can even eat up two with a simple bite . " The fatty breathed in the fragrance of the Mantou and murmured .

The fatty was indeed right . Even if there were only eight Mantou, he still picked two together at a time and stuffed them into his mouth .

On entering his mouth, the fragrance of the Mantou dispersed inside . The skin of the small Mantou had slight toughness . With a simple bite through it, however, the delicate fragrance of the wheat grains came out immediately .

Having filled his mouth, he began to chew the Mantou carefully . The Mantou tasted soft and fluffy and while chewing it, it felt as if there were many layers, making the texture continuous as well as fine and smooth .

Even if he drank no water, it didn't affect him in swallowing it all . It was unbelievably fluffy and palatable .

During the period, the strong fragrance of wheat grains filled his nose . Upon tasting that, one could easily know it was made with very fresh flour . There was not the slightest taste of flavoring, only the pure wheat flour .

What they longed for was exactly that feeling of freshness .

"Too bad it's too small . If it's as large as my face, I can take it in my hand and eat it carefully . With Boss Yuan's craftsmanship, it would be delicious . " The fatty ate some Mantou and said loudly, full of dissatisfaction .

Of course it would be delicious . If the Mantou was that big, how could one not feel awesome with the soft and palatable feeling?

"Too small, too little . " While gulping down the Mantou, the fatty muttered to himself .

His mouth was busy, still it never stopped .

The thought that it didn't taste good without any stuffing had already been flung to the four winds . . .
