Chapter 534

Outside Yuan Zhou’s restaurant during noon .

“Boss Yuan, is there BBQ tonight?” A customer asked smilingly .

“Yes . ” Yuan Zhou nodded the head .

“Oh, yeah . I knew it . See what I said?” The customer immediately turned to say to another person beside him excitedly .

“Boss Yuan, do you always provide BBQ every time you come back from a break?” The customer asked curiously .

“Not really . It’s going to rain tonight . ” Yuan Zhou said that with a serious look .

He ignored the winter sun shining warmly on the people outside .

“But isn’t the outside filled with bright sunshine?” The customer said that while pointing at the sun rays shining into Yuan Zhou’s restaurant with puzzlement .

“Um . ” Yuan Zhou nodded the head .

“Then why is it going to rain?” The customer looked at Yuan Zhou and asked .

“Because I said so . ” Yuan Zhou said that so seriously as if he were asking them what to eat .

“Er . . . ” The customer was made speechless .

“Haha . I don’t care about the rain . Anyway, I get to eat BBQ today . ” It was Ma Zhida with a look of excitement .

“But there’s no liquor to drink . ” Chen Wei’s coarse and muffled voice came from the side .

“Mr . Chen, you are back . ” Ma Zhida was shocked and looked at his neighbor .

With a small wound that had scabbed on his face, Chen Wei looked sharper than before on the whole . But when he talked about liquor, he still appeared unhappy .

“Yeah, I just arrived today . ” Chen Wei nodded the head .

“What’s wrong with your face?” Ma Zhidao pointed at Chen Wei’s face and asked .

“He should have ran into a door . ” Yuan Zhou said primly .

“You are right . ” Unexpectedly, Chen Wei didn’t contradict him, but just nodded the head seriously .

“Haw?” Ma Zhida was immediately stupefied .

“Such a small wound can only be caused by running into a door . ” Yuan Zhou said, pretending to be serious .

“Boss Yuan, my liquor . ” Chen Wei stared at Yuan Zhou and said earnestly .

Then Yuan Zhou turned around and walked back to the kitchen to start cooking .

“What a joke! The system told me it would rain tonight . ” Yuan Zhou muttered in the heart . After all, if it rained, there would be no liquor . It was the rule set by himself .

“Are you stupid? The BBQ is originally supposed to be eaten along with the liquor . If Boss Yuan doesn’t provide liquor, Boss Fang will do . ” Ma Zhida didn’t hide from Yuan Zhou when he said that directly .

“Well, you are so smart . ” On hearing that, Chen Wei said very happily with his thick eyebrows raised .

“Let’s come tonight . ” Ma Zhida said with a smile .

“Sure . Let’s drink together by then . I will go to prepare two dishes to eat along with the liquor . ” Chen Wei said readily .

“Boss Fang’s cold dishes are really good to eat with liquor . ” Ma Zhida had eaten that dish before .

“His dishes are nothing special . I still believe Boss Yuan’s are more delicious . It is simply an amazing feeling to burn and then chill the heart by eating some Oil Fried Chili followed by drinking a mouthful of the Bamboo Liquor . ” Chen Wei couldn’t help swallowing his saliva .

“Hearing your words, I suddenly want to taste Boss Yuan’s liquor . ” Ma Zhida had never drunk Yuan Zhou’s liquor before . He didn’t like drinking liquor and naturally, he wouldn’t spend 5888RMB on it .

“Excuse me, are you talking about me when you mention Boss Fang?” Suddenly, a voice emitted from the remotest corner . It was Fang Heng .

“Ahem ahem . ” Ma Zhida turned to look at him and then coughed loudly . It can be imagined how embarrassed he was .

“Hey, there you are, Boss Fang . I am prepared to buy some liquor from you today . Could you bring me a pot of your aged liquor and some dishes that go with it?” As for Chen Wei, he didn’t feel embarrassed at all, but instead said so .

“My dishes and liquor do not seem to be so good . ” Fang Heng gritted his teeth but said with a smile on his face .

“You are bringing disgrace upon yourself if you want to compare your liquor and dishes with Boss Yuan’s . But compared with others, yours are the top-level . ” Chen Wei maintained a poker face all along, therefore whatever he said was quite convincing .

Thus, Fang Heng believed in him .

“I don’t want to be compared with that god-damn talented guy . ” Fang Heng took a glimpse at Yuan Zhou who was immersed with the food ingredients in his hands that were dancing in the air and then muttered .

“Okay . I will bring them to you this evening . You can pay me then . ” Only then did Fang Heng look toward Chen Wei .

“No problem . ” Chen Wei nodded the head readily .

There were only two hours in total for lunchtime, therefore it passed very soon .

After tidying the kitchen, Yuan Zhou sat at the door and prepared to sculpt, as usual .

No one craned their neck from the neighboring store and said hi to him anymore nowadays . But luckily, Yuan Zhou had become accustomed to that .

When he looked at the kitchen knife, however, Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of the signature dish of that royal chef .

“Now we are even . ” Yuan Zhou thought of the birthday banquet yesterday and felt relieved in his heart .

Yuan Zhou was inherently a stubborn person, thus he was reluctant to violate his own rules . For example, he definitely didn’t like to go out and cook for others . But since Liu Jianan brought out Mr . Ma, he had no reason not to go there .

Otherwise, Yuan Zhou wouldn’t be able to forgive himself .

“It seems to be the right time for me to practice cooking the chicken . ” Yuan Zhou was also very eager to try the cooking method of that imperial court dish .

He had been saying he would practice cooking this dish for long, but never did he carry his plan out . Nevertheless, now was a good time .

“System, will you provide the chicken if I start to practice cooking the Wu Chicken?” As other food ingredients couldn’t be prepared in Yuan Zhou’s kitchen, he naturally had to target the system .

The system displayed, “No . “

“This answer is really simple and clear-cut . Can I take the food ingredients inside to practice?” Yuan Zhou asked curiously .

The system displayed, “Not until you work hard to level up . “

“Ho Ho . Heartless . I’m going to practice the cooking method with the fish . ” Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of the replacement .

The cooking method of Wu Chicken essentially required excellent knife skills . Since he couldn’t practice that cooking method, it was pretty good to at least practice deboning the fish .

“Speaking of which, there will be one more dish for the BBQ since I have the fish now . ” Yuan Zhou thought of this matter .

And another very important thing was that the price was going to rise .

“Let me make it simple . The former dishes of BBQ count as one and the fish counts as another . ” Yuan Zhou immediately figured out a good idea .

After he sat on the seat and sorted out everything clearly, Yuan Zhou took the knife and started to sculpt .

He kept sitting there for quite a while and stayed put for about two or three hours . Not until when the clock woke him up did Yuan Zhou react from his devoted sculpting .

At around the suppertime, the weather outside was no longer as good as that during the day . When the BBQ commenced, it had started to rain .

With the sound of “Hu Hu”, the cold wind poured straight up people neck .

“Dear me! It’s too cold outside . Boss Yuan’s restaurant is really warm . ” Ma Zhida untied the scarf around his neck and said with a big smile .

“It’s indeed cold today . ” Even Chen Wei nodded the head and echoed .

After all, this guy was basically as robust as a bull . About ten days ago, at the beginning of December, he was still wearing a long shirt and a coat .

“Gee? Boss Yuan, why is this plate empty?” Ma Zhida looked at an empty tray at the side yet with a price written on it curiously .

“That’s a fish . The roast fish will be provided today . ” Yuan Zhou said calmly .

“Wow . . . It’s surprisingly a meat dish . Get me a serving right now, please . ” Ma Zhida said impatiently .

“Okay . One moment, please . ” Yuan Zhou nodded the head and then went back to catch the fish in the water tank .

“What will be the taste of the roast fish prepared by Boss Yuan?” Ma Zhidao thought blissfully .
