“This little girl is so young, but talks so much . ” Of course, Chef Zhan knew Man Man was in favor of Yuan Zhou, therefore he also replied her rudely .

“Yes, I can see that you are pretty old too, but still lack compassion,” Man Man said smilingly .

“Even if I have compassion, I won’t show to you, little girl . ” Chef Zhan mocked at her .

“Fine . Then, this unkind old gentleman, you just wait here patiently . ” Man Man waved her hands and didn’t say anything else to him . She still had something else to do .

“Humph . ” Chef Zhan snorted coldly in response to Man Man .

“What an ill-mannered old man . I feel that Lee Yanyi is much better now . ” On hearing the cold snort, Man Man couldn’t help muttering .

Man Man had formerly disliked Lee Yanyi the most, thinking he always complained about the dishes while eating them blissfully and was fairly troublesome . In contrast with the old guy, Chef Zhan, however; she instantly felt Lee Yanyi became lovable .

It was approaching 12:00 p . m . and the people were increasing . Nonetheless, Chef Zhan knitted his brows tighter and tighter .

“What’s the matter? Is the business of this restaurant so good?” Chef Zhan’s investigation mainly covered Yuan Zhou’s family background . He didn’t especially investigate how Yuan Zhou’s business was, but there were indeed the few characters of “really not bad” on the paper .

Seeing such a small and narrow restaurant, however, Chef Zhan naturally didn’t really take the few characters seriously . After all, the size of the restaurant would largely restrict the development of the business .

“Hey, young man . Are the dishes here very delicious?” Chef Zhan couldn’t help asking Wu Hai who’s ahead of him .

“Are you asking me?” Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and looked back at Chef Zhan .

“Who else can I ask except you?” Chef Zhan asked back with a tone of “You are talking nonsense . “, but meanwhile he thought that something must be wrong with both the two customers that had encountered continuously .

“I think you are unlikely to know the taste by eating it . ” Wu Hai was a person whose temper had never been good .

“Why? Isn’t it delicious?” Chef Zhan became excited immediately .

“Not really . It’s just your mouth is too busy to eat the delicacies . ” Wu Hai shrugged and said as if it were obvious .

“Humph . Young people nowadays don’t even know to respect the old . ” Chef Zhan understood that he had been fooled this time . He glared at Wu Hai severely .

“But you likewise don’t love the young . So my respect means nothing to you . ” Wu Hai had heard the conversations among Chef Zhan, Yuan Zhou, and Man Man from the very beginning .

As an adult man, he just found it inappropriate to help them quarrel with an old man .

Yuan Zhou was the boss and thus could talk about the rules . However, he was just a customer and should not break into their conversation . But since this annoying old man came to provoke him on his own, Wu Hai wouldn’t pass up this opportunity to contradict him .

“I won’t talk to you anymore . ” Seeing Wu Hai fear nothing at all, Chef Zhan said that and left while Zhou Jia was announcing the start of business hours .

“If you don’t want to talk to me, then don’t talk to me . ” After contradicting the old man, Wu Hai felt relieved at once, thinking that he should order one more dish later .

Once he entered the door, Chef Zhan said to Yuan Zhou, “Having kept me waiting for so long outside, you’d better succeed in researching a roast goose that deserves the wait . “

“The roast goose you have ordered is 5888 RMB . You can pay by bank transfer or by cash . ” Yuan Zhou took no notice of Chef Zhan’s provocation and just said straightforwardly .

As soon as Yuan Zhou brought out the price, the voices of ordering dishes paused a little while and every one fell silent .

“Tsk-tsk . This old man came for a challenge, didn’t he?” The customer instantly turned their head and looked at Chef Zhan .

“Does he rip off every customer that orders this dish?” The price made Chef Zhan greatly astonished .

He wasn’t unable to afford 5888 RMB, but just didn’t think a roast goose could be that expensive . Even the roast goose cooked by himself was sold no more than 888 RMB . The price of Yuan Zhou’s roast goose was a few times higher than that of his .

“If you can’t afford it, we can split it half-half . ” Wu Hai immediately went up and said to him .

Naturally, his purpose wasn’t to help Chef Zhan, but to eat the roast goose . What a joke! He had been eager to eat it . Now that there was such an opportunity, he would naturally seize it .

“Yeah, yeah . We can help you, too . ” Other customers immediately reacted .

Boss Yuan could cope with others picking on him very well . For the customers, the new dish of Roast Goose was the most important .

“Exactly . If you can’t eat it up, you’ll be blacklisted and won’t have the opportunity to come again to pick on the boss . What about I share with you fifty fifty? You are welcome . ” Another man, whose hair was neatly combed, said with a sincere tone .

“He’s right . Failure isn’t fearful . What’s really fearful is that you don’t even have an opportunity to fail again . But, I can help you with that . Let’s split the roast goose fifty fifty . ” Such suggestions could probably only be found in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

These customers had truly racked their brains . They wanted to eat the roast goose, but meanwhile disliked Chef Zhan’s rude attitude . Their words were definitely awesome!

They spoke as if Chef Zhan would not withstand a single blow and definitely wouldn’t win, although it was indeed the truth .

“Stop quarrelling . I won’t be deceived by you guys . If you like to eat it, you guys pay for yourselves . ” Chef Zhan naturally felt it was not worth it to spend 5888 RMB on Yuan Zhou’s roast goose, not to mention it definitely wasn’t as delicious as his .

As for the customers saying that he would necessarily fail, Chef Zhan didn’t take it seriously at all . He wouldn’t be frightened .

In order to allow Yuan Zhou carry out the roast goose and let Chef Zhan flee due to embarrassment, the customers reached a common understanding concerning the new dish .

They made a unanimous decision to split it into four parts .

“Payment comes before eating . Are you afraid of the customers not paying because of the bad taste?” While waiting for the new dish, Chef Zhan even started to complain about this rule .

“Be calm and patient! Then, eat the goose . ” Setting aside Chef Zhan’s complaints, Yuan Zhou said that when he carried the goose to him .

“Little brat, when this old man began to taste the roast goose, you were still being nursed in your mother’s arms . ” Chef Zhan said ironically .

“I wish you still have the courage to say this after eating, Head Chef Zhan who has been cooking the goose for all your life . ” In the face of such a rude and arrogant chef, Yuan Zhou wouldn’t be patient and courteous . Instead, he said quite earnestly to him .

“Ho Ho . ” Chef Zhan’s answer fully explained everything .

He picked up the chopsticks and then began to taste the new dish .

The roast goose emphasized the crisp skin and tender meat as well as being non-greasy, which was known by all masters that cooked geese .

However, people’s diet was getting better and better nowadays . Therefore, the food that wasn’t greasy to the people formerly now became greasy . Chef Zhan’s solution was to make a sourer plum sauce to eat along with the goose .

It was also regarded as a solution .

After all, people still had to select the fat goose . Otherwise, it would taste dry and chewy and wouldn’t be delicious at all .

“This old man would like to taste your craftsmanship . ” Chef Zhan picked up a piece of goose meat that connected its neck and breast .

Generally speaking, that piece of meat had the most fat and would taste quite oily .

Since he was here to find faults, he naturally wouldn’t eat it along with the plum sauce .

“Ba Ji Ba Ji” . It was the sound of the goose meat being chewed up .

What entered his mouth first was the crisp and sweet skin, which bubbled up due to the roasting . Inside of the bubbles was a trace of an extremely sour flavor instead of fat . It was that sourness that not only made the crisp skin become not oily at all, but also brought a crisper taste into play .

When the teeth reached the fat under the skin, it was also not oily . Even Chef Zhan had to admit it didn’t taste like the fat, but a certain plump and tasty fruit flesh that melted upon entering the mouth along with the delicate fragrance and delicious meat flavor .

Under the fat was a thin layer of lean meat that wasn’t chewy at all . Soaked in the oil and delicate fragrance of the green plum, it instantly made the goose meat in the mouth fresh and delicious . And there wasn’t any oily feeling which could be tasted from the other roast geese .

Humans had evolved for so many centuries just to eat meat . These words had been deeply understood by Chef Zhan .

Just to eat such delicious meat .

A piece of oily meat was contrarily not oily at all and tasted fragrant throughout the mouth . The slightly chewy skin was crisp; the layer of fat was as fragrant as the fruit flesh combining with the meat flavor; the lean meat was also incredibly soft and tender . All these were the current feelings of Chef Zhan .

It was totally unscientific!
