Chapter 625

“What are you dressing so well for? Where are you going?” Lee Yanyi’s wife looked at him and asked with puzzlement .

“I’m going to attend a tasting meeting . I’ll be back soon . ” Lee Yanyi bent down to put on his shoes and then said naturally .

“Okay . Take care . ” The woman nodded her head habitually and then instructed him .

“Got it . ” Lee Yanyi answered her naturally, too .

Having put on his shoes, Lee Yanyi opened the door and prepared to go out .

“Wait, wait . It’s so late now . What kind of tasting are you going to attend?” The woman reacted at that time and uttered immediately .

“A tasting of fruits at Taoxi Road . ” Lee Yanyi turned his head and explained .

“At this time of day?” The woman opened her eyes wide and revealed a surprised look .

“Yeah . That brat always does things unexpectedly . I even have to wait until so late to taste some fruits . ” Speaking of Yuan Zhou, Lee Yanyi’s words were full of complaints but his tone was filled with admiration .

“Is he the talented chef you often mention?” The woman immediately realized who he was talking about .

“Yes, he is . I’m going to have a look . You sleep first . ” Lee Yanyi nodded his head .

“It’s not in the evening . It is already midnight . You tell Little Yan to drive you there . ” The woman uttered and then said hurriedly .

“I told him beforehand already and he’s now downstairs . ” Lee Yanyi nodded his head .

“Come back early . ” The woman walked to the door quickly and followed him with her eyes until he got into the lift . “

Nevertheless, Lee Yanyi waved his hand to her, indicating that she could go back . At that time, the door of the lift closed .

“Nowadays, young people are becoming weirder and weirder . Why would anyone hold a tasting of fruits at midnight?” Lee Yanyi’s wife shook her head and revealed a puzzled look .

Having instructed his wife to sleep early, Lee Yanyi went downstairs and got on Yan Jia’s car . Then, they headed for Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

Meanwhile, Yuan Zhou decided to forgive the system and ignore it at the side . He started to try the taste of every fruit .

“At least, I can afford the fruits . Let me try every one of them . ” Yuan Zhou first opened all the cabinets and then started to eat them all one by one .

For a moment, there was only the sound of Yuan Zhou eating the fruits continually on the first floor of the pub . Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou became angrier and angrier while he was eating them .

Because every time he ate a fruit, the system would remind him of the price of the fruit and how much he had to pay .

“Actually, you don’t need to tell me . I don’t really want to know how much money you have deducted from me . Of course, you can’t deduct too much . ” Yuan Zhou bit off the last mouthful of the fruit and then said .

The system displayed, “It is the system’s responsibility to remind the host . “

“Ho Ho . ” Yuan Zhou didn’t believe that at all .

With the knife swinging up and down in his hand and the pear skin falling off, Yuan Zhou asked the system .

“I not only pay for a fruit, but also have to pay for the expense to taste it first . Then why is the tasting today free of charge?” There was obvious discontent in his tone .

The system displayed, “Because they are customers while you are the host . “

“What you said makes so much sense . So I’m the host and deserve to be cheated, right?” Yuan Zhou appeared quite speechless .

At the same time, he decided not to chat with the system anymore in case something regrettable happened .

After all, it wouldn’t be good if he beat the system to death by accident .

Yuan Zhou straightforwardly cut the pear in his hand into thin slices, as thick as a 1RMB coin . Of course, every slice had the same thickness and size .

“Well, my skill is really not bad . ” Yuan Zhou looked at the pear laid out into the shape of a lotus flower and felt quite satisfied .

Every slice of the pear was half-moon-shaped and the pulp appeared as white as jade . Meanwhile, each slice was a little translucent as it was very thin . It looked both watery and succulent .

Having finished the plate presentation, Yuan Zhou stabbed a piece of the pear with a fork and stuffed it into this mouth hastily .

“Ka Ca Ka Ca” . The pear emitted a clear and melodious sound when it was being chewed .

“It tastes so refreshing . ” Yuan Zhou couldn’t help eating another piece of the pear .

The pear was different from other pears . With just a little chewing, the pear broke into little pieces and turned into the pear juice, which flowed into his stomach through the throat .

It didn’t have the puckery taste of other pears . What it really had was the fresh and sweet texture . Besides, it felt incomparably crisp and tender while being chewed . Every time it was chewed, the pear juice burst out . The taste was fairly wonderful .

“The pear is so tasty . ” Yuan Zhou savored the taste for an instant and was quite satisfied .

No wonder it was provided by the system . It definitely had a remarkable source of origin .

“But, why are there only 8 kinds of fruit? Isn’t that too little?” Yuan Zhou knitted his brows .

The pear was the last fruit that Yuan Zhou had tasted .

However, Yuan Zhou didn’t really get the answer from the system . Fortunately, Yuan Zhou wasn’t persistent in getting the answer . After all, there were several special fruits this time .

Having eaten the fruit, Yuan Zhou started to cut them . Some of them could only be eaten conveniently after they were cut into small pieces .

There was a long table in front of Yuan Zhou . It was packed with lots of plates and looked as splendid as a formal Chinese feast .

“Since there are only 8 fruits, I need to cut some more . ” Yuan Zhou looked at the cabinets and then thought of the number of people and confirmed the quantity to be cut in the end .

In order to maintain the taste of the fruit, Yuan Zhou couldn’t cut them with the ironware . Therefore, he could only use the ceramic knife .

Yuan Zhou cut the fruits with amazing speed . In just two hours, he had packed the buffet tables with the fruits . Even the long table was packed with various fruits . Once the fruits out there were eaten up, those on the long table could restock them .

Of course, the fruits that were cut were those that would have no changes to the taste even if put out for a long time .

However, some of the fruits didn’t need to be cut . For example, the lonicera standishii . Each of them was heart-shaped and looked very beautiful . They were directly laid out in the plate without any decoration .

“Everybody, please come on in for the tasting . Boss Yuan has got everything prepared . ” Zhou Sheng opened the door of the sergestes wall landscape from the courtyard and said to the customers that filled the main hall .

“It’s finally done . You know, I didn’t eat much for dinner . I have waited for these fruits for quite a while . ” The customers walked into the courtyard one after another .

“Sister, Boss Yuan’s restaurant is so large and it’s also very beautiful . ” Huang Li and his elder sister Huang Ling walked at the end of the crowd . As soon as they entered the door, Huang Li said to Huang Ling .

“Of course . Boss Yuan is the best chef that has the top craftsmanship around here now . ” Huang Ling nodded her head proudly .

“Then Boss Yuan’s fruits are definitely very delicious, too . ” Speaking of that, Huang Li even started to drool .

“That’s for sure . ” Huang Ling didn’t support her younger brother with her hands even if he didn’t walk so steadily .

“How I wish I could learn to cook from Boss Yuan . ” Huang Li lowered his head and said shyly .

“Boss Yuan doesn’t take any apprentices . If you like, you can stand at the side and watch him cook . ” Huang Ling encouraged him .

“Um . ” Huang Li didn’t say anything more, but took a few steps forward so that he could get closer to the countertop and also to Yuan Zhou .

“There are only 8 kinds of fruits in all . Yet, I am being cheated by this little brat to come here at midnight . ” While Lee Yanyi was muttering, he stabbed the fruits with a fork to eat with a hint of politeness .

“There’s actually the Standish Honeysuckle . They are so beautiful!” Jiang Changxi and other girls were all attracted by Mary Sue’s lonicera standishii .

The heart-shaped fruits had a good-looking appearance .

“Hey, don’t stare at only one kind of the fruits . Remember what we have agreed on?” Seeing Jiang Changxi stand still in front of the lonicera standishii and couldn’t help reminding her .

“I know, I know . ” Jiang Changxi waved her hand impatiently but kept smacking her lips . She was still chewing happily .

The tasting that was originally supposed to be noisy and boisterous just fell silent like that . All customers over there became quiet as their mouth were all stuffed with the fruits…
