Chapter 538: 538

When he heard the question, the middle-aged man relaxed subconsciously and didn’t appear so nervous anymore .

That made sense . In the beginning, Scenarist Li wasn’t likely to tell him directly what the interview was about . Otherwise, it was very easy for such people like him, who hadn’t received professional training, to slip up . And that would be awkward .

“Oh, so you are talking about that issue . That Boss Yuan is an able person and has wonderful craftsmanship . ” Speaking of Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship, the middle-aged man revealed a sincere look of admiration .

“Apart from his craftsmanship, what else do you think of him?” Presenter Lu smiled and continued asking .

“What else are there? Everything is good, fairly good . ” The middle-aged man scratched his head and then said with a smile .

“Then do you have any comment about him selling a bowl of Egg Fried Rice at 188RMB in his restaurant?” Presenter Lu said smilingly .

“No . I heard from those who have eaten it before that it’s quite delicious . I also want to go there to have a try, but I’m just reluctant to pay that much money . ” The middle-aged man smiled with slight embarrassment .

“Look! When we came over here just now, I saw some people still going towards that restaurant . But meanwhile, there’s not a customer in your restaurant . Do you have any comments about that?” Presenter Lu’s questions were filled with pitfalls .

“What comments should I have to have? None . ” The middle-aged man shook the head .

“Alright . One last question, how do you like that Master Chef Restaurant?” Presenter Lu asked seriously .

“How do I like it? Fairly good . ” The middle-aged man said without thinking .

“Can you be more specific? On what aspects?” Presenter Lu asked again .

“I don’t really know on what aspects . I am just grateful to that young man . ” The middle-aged man stroked his own head and appeared a little embarrassed .

“Grateful? Don’t you think his business is so good that he has grabbed most of the customers?” Presenter Lu couldn’t help asking .

“He deserves that . It’s his good craftsmanship that won those customers’ heart . Besides, what you guys don’t know is that the business nowadays is far better than before . ” The middle-aged man was quite proud when he spoke of that .

“Really? What do you mean?” Presenter Lu asked step by step .

“Let me explain to you with a metaphor and an analogy . Formerly, there were only about 100 people that came to this street for meals every day and I could only get 10 of them on average . And now, there are no less than 3000 people every day and 2500 of them come here for that restaurant . But . . . ” The middle-aged man suddenly stopped, leaving others guessing .

“But what?” Presenter Lu asked quite cooperatively .

“But that restaurant is too small . It can only receive about 1500 people every day . For the remaining 1500 people, I can get about 300 on average . So I should thank that young man . What do you think?” The middle-aged man said shrewdly .

“Yeah, you are right . You are really a smart boss . ” Presenter Lu thumbed up and complimented .

“Haw-haw . Leaving others aside, at least I know something about business . ” The middle-aged man stroked his own head shyly .

“Okay . That’s all for the interview today . Sorry for bothering you . ” Having got his intended answers, Presenter Lu expressed his gratitude politely and then took his team away .

“Take care, take care . ” The middle-aged man waved his hand .

It was actually a very easy reason . For an 8-inch cake, it was only enough for four people . Once Yuan Zhou joined, however, he directly made the cake into 18-inch, which was sufficient to feed 24 people .

Even if everyone could still share only a piece of cake at that time, the size of the cake was quite different .

Therefore, those who opened restaurants in this side street basically had no unfavorable comments about Yuan Zhou . Even though some complained about why they didn’t have such good craftsmanship, they just thought of that and no more .

After Presenter Lu interviewed three restaurants along the street continuously, he discovered that everybody was basically grateful to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

When a boss was asked about his opinion about the price of the dishes served in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, he even answered frankly, “If I had such good skills as him, I would make the dishes even more expensive . We all know how expensive the dishes served in five-star hotels are . Since the dishes are more delicious, of course it should be more expensive . “

“It seems that Boss Yuan is quite popular . ” Presenter Lu shrugged and said .

“It’s good . We saved some money . ” Scenarist Li said pragmatically .

Yuan Zhou had no idea of the night interview of the program division . As for the comments on the internet, he had no idea, either . After all, the frequency of him surfing the internet was surprisingly low if nothing special happened and moreover, he didn’t care about that .

As for those who knew this matter, for example, those regular customers, they had already started to fight back . And they chose not to tell Yuan Zhou about that based on their tacit understanding .

The regular customers were quite clear if Yuan Zhou knew this matter and became unhappy, he would probably take a day off straightforwardly . If that happened, who could they complain to?

Nevertheless, the counterattack of the regular customers was carried out under the leadership of the queuing committee .

They replied identically, [Please comment after a taste . Those who have never eaten it stop speaking carelessly . ]

Of course, Ling Hong replied more arrogantly, [Come and eat . Comment after eating . Otherwise, don’t bullshit . ]

Yuan Zhou had no idea of these things and was still doing business diligently .

It was another suppertime in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

Suddenly, Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and uttered, “I’m quite curious about why you guys like eating here . ”

“Why did you suddenly ask such an artistic question?” Jiang Changxi looked at Wu Hai in surprise .

After all, Wu Hai was only interested in grabbing the dishes of others in Jiang Changxi’s opinion .

“Say it . Why do you like eating here?” Instead of answering her, Wu Hai asked back .

“Of course it’s because I like the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisines . ” Jiang Changxi smoothed her hair with her fingers and said lightly .

“I thought you would say it’s because of the liquor . ” Wu Hai looked at Jiang Changxi in surprise .

“Of course not . ” Jiang Changxi shook the head .

“I was cheated here . ” Yin Ya glared at Yuan Zhou and then said .

“Well, I never cheated anybody . ” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself in the heart hurriedly .

“I do come here because of the liquor . ” Chen Wei licked his lips and said discontentedly .

“I come because of Boss Yuan . ” Yuan Zhou’s big fan, Tang Xi, said with a blush .

“Yeah . You really have sharp eyes . ” Yuan Zhou nodded the head secretly and approved Tang Xi’s words in the heart .

Once Tang Xi said that, many girls started to say they came here because Yuan Zhou cooked delicious dishes . Apart from that, there were also many that joked and quipped . Of course, many likewise answered seriously they came because of a particular dish .

However, a very different answer astonished everyone .

“Because Boss Yuan is like my father . ” A man that wore a black woolen sweater and appeared clean and cultured said suddenly .

“Er . . . ” Then, the restaurant fell silent instantly .

“Hahahahaha . ” Soon, the customers burst into earthshaking laughter almost at the same time .

“Haha . Boss Yuan is unable to give birth to such an old son like you . ” Jiang Changxi pointed at Yuan Zhou and mocked at him immodestly .

With his face tight taut, Yuan Zhou said nothing .

“On what aspect? The appearance?” Wu Hai asked primly .

“Or his actions or expressions?” Another customer continued .

“I think it should be the feeling . ” The young girl, Tang Xi, nodded her head, pretending to be serious .

“Or the taste of Yuan Zhou’s dishes?”

Various speculations followed afterwards . However, the man in a black woolen sweater just shook the head and denied the speculations one by one .

“None . I don’t know, either . I just feel he’s like my father . ” The man said with a bland tone .

He couldn’t tell on what aspect Yuan Zhou was like his father . He even felt it wasn’t because of the appearance, expressions, or temperament that was similar to his father . But he just had that feeling . How interesting it was!

“I’m 24 years old this year and I will be 25 after the Chinese lunar year . ” At that time, Yuan Zhou said dumbly .
