Chapter 357: Purchasing Power of US Dollars

“Please take your seats here . ” Zhou Jia guided them to the vacant seats .

“It’s so small here . ” Jack muttered in English .

“What do you two want to eat today?” Zhou Jia went up and asked as usual .

“Hi . Menu, please?” Jack gesticulated to her .

“I’m sorry . Do you mean the menu?” Zhou Jia could only understand a little, but she was embarrassed to speak English . Thus, she asked him in Chinese slowly .

“What?” Jack was quite puzzled .

However slowly she spoke, Chinese wouldn’t change to English . Therefore, Jack didn’t get her at all .

“Well, what do you need?” It was likewise the first time that Zhou Jia had seen a foreigner order dishes . She was slightly nervous .

“Beauty, he’s asking if you have the menu . ” Liu Hui couldn’t bear it anymore and directly asked in Chinese .

“Yes . It’s right in front of you . ” Zhou Jia pointed to the table smilingly .

“Ok . ” After a nod, Liu Hui took up the menu and asked while reading .

“What are the special dishes in your restaurant?”

“Every dish is special here . You can just choose whatever you like to eat . ” Zhou Jia said complacently .

“Is the Egg Fried Rice 188? What currency is it?” Seeing the price, Liu Hui raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in surprise .

“Have this country developed so quickly over the years when I’m abroad?” Liu Hui thought in the mind .

“I’m sorry . We only receive US dollars and RMB . ” Suddenly, Yuan Zhou went up and said that before Zhou Jia got time to answer them .

“Gee? If you receive US dollars, the price is going to be much cheaper . ” Liu Hui said naturally .

After that, Liu Hui told Jack about that in English .

“OK . It’s great if he can receive the US dollars . ” Jack nodded his head contentedly .

“Alright . So what about we order the Egg Fried Rice, Translucent Beef Slices and a Roasted Pork, Jack? What do you want to eat?” Liu Hui ordered the dishes naturally like he did in other restaurants .

“I think I can eat more than that . ” Jack said exaggeratedly .

He took up the exquisite menu and started to order his dishes while pointing at the English content on the menu .

Speaking of which, Yuan Zhou really admired the system’s foresight .

When the menu was provided, it was made in both Chinese and English . At that time, Yuan Zhou once asked the system .

“It is English, isn’t it? What for?” Yuan Zhou didn’t have any foreign customers in his restaurant at that time .

The system displayed, “As the future Master Chef, an English menu is a must . “

“All right . ” Having thought for a while, Yuan Zhou believed it was indeed so and thus didn’t asked anymore .

When Jack swiped his passport for the number outside just now, the system reminded Yuan Zhou about that .

Therefore, Yuan Zhou rushed over to receive the money, even though it was slightly different this time .

However, Yuan Zhou would still remind them of what they could do and couldn’t do .

“Hello . In my restaurant, if you can’t finish all your dishes, you’ll be blacklisted automatically and can never come again . ” Yuan Zhou reminded them dutifully . Of course, he spoke Chinese .

“Do you have such a rule?” Liu Hui asked with much interest .

“Yes . It’s right behind you on the wall . ” Yuan Zhou showed them the menu on the wall and said .

Liu Hui turned his head and looked toward the wall . Really, there was not only this rule, but also other rules .

“Look at this . This boss has really many rules . ” Liu Hui pointed at the wall and said to Jack .

“What’s that?” Jack could neither spoke nor understood Chinese . Naturally, you can’t expect him to read Chinese .

Liu Hui translated the rules briefly in English and then Jack understood it .

“This boss has a unique personality . I like him . ” Jack appreciated the rules very much, believing the boss had his own personality .

“Indeed he is . ” Liu Hui nodded his head .

“Help me ask him if I can take a photo . ” Jack took the phone and asked, being eager to have a try .

Liu Hui shook his head speechlessly, but he still turned the head and asked, “Can we take a photo of the wall?”

“Yes, as you please . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

“The boss says you can take photos of whatever you like . ” Seeing Yuan Zhou nod his head, Liu Hui became relieved and told Jack straightforwardly .

“That’s great . ” Jack directly went up to take photos excitedly . Moreover, he took group photos of the lotus flower and the menu as well as himself .

He finished after quite a while . Yuan Zhou asked them again, “What are your dishes?”

“What’s the amount of one serving?” Liu Hui asked habitually .

“Same to the dishes served in other restaurants . ” Yuan Zhou said immodestly .

“Then I want the Egg Fried Rice and Translucent Beef Slices . ” Liu Hui kept two dishes .

“I want this and this one . ” Jack said affirmatively while pointing at the Roasted Pork and the Clear Broth Noodle Soup .

“Ok . Yours are 876 RMB in all . Payment comes first before the dishes . ” Yuan Zhou said first to Liu Hui .

When Liu Hui gave him the money, the customers beside him started a discussion .

“Boss Yuan seems to speak more than usual today,” a customer said with puzzlement .

“I also feel the same . He first greeted the beauty when she came . But I can fully understand that . ” Another customer revealed a manner of understanding .

“Yeah . I can understand that, too . Boss Yuan is single . ” The next customer followed .

“But now it’s merely a foreigner . Why did Boss Yuan go to greet him by himself?” Wu Hai chimed in .

“Because I’m the very first customer of this restaurant . ” Yin Ya broke in and explained .

“Yes, we know, we all know . ” The customers smiled ambiguously and nodded continuously, saying that .

“What do you know about? What?” Yin Ya slightly flushed and couldn’t help saying that .

“It is fine as long as we all know . ” The customers roared with laughter .

“I think Boss Yuan surely isn’t that kind to greet his customers in person . He definitely has some hidden purposes . ” With a flush on her face, Yin Ya tried to change the subject .

“Haw-haw . We also think that way . ” The customers were all very nice . They changed the subject as per Yin Ya’s intention .

“Exactly . Such an aloof person as Boss Yuan is unlikely to be so proactive . ” Seeing Yuan Zhou was still there, they said with an unbelievable tone .

“What about we guess?” Wu Hai proposed .

“I don’t want to guess . You want to cheat us for the liquor again . ” Su Mu directly reacted and said .

“No . There’s no liquor now . ” Wu Hai had once learned cooking from Yuan Zhou for three days and understood him a lot . Relying on that, he often cheated others .

“I will not be fooled by something I’m going to know very soon . ” Su Mu said stoutly .

It seemed that he had been fooled a lot, therefore, he definitely wouldn’t like to play with Wu Hai on that .

People guessed a lot about Yuan Zhou’s purpose this time . At the other side, Yuan Zhou turned his head to Jack and said to him .

“Hello . The total price of your dishes is 1256 dollars . ” Yuan Zhou reported the price in one breath and then continued in the end .

“We accept bank transfer, cash, or international cards . “

It sounded very professional to say that .

At the other side, however, the two people who heard the price were greatly surprised .

Liu Hui asked straightforwardly, “The price isn’t correct, is it? Is it in US dollars?”
