Chapter 716

The system completely ignored Yuan Zhou and stayed silent .

“Fine, System . I will forgive you on account of your willingness to be my long term fresh tea leaves supplier,” Yuan Zhou magnanimously declared .

Then, Yuan Zhou picked up his chopsticks and continued eating . After all, there was still half of the Longjing Salad remaining .

Chomp . Chomp . Chomp . Yuan Zhou stuffed his mouth full with food .

While eating, Yuan Zhou wondered what would happen if he told the two old men these tea leaves were actually Pre-Ming Longjing Tea .

Yuan Zhou was in fact quite curious about this . But of course, he was smart enough to not say that . After all, one would never know what others would do when pushed to the brink of insanity .

Half a plate of Longjing Salad wasn’t that huge a serving . Yuan Zhou did not take long to finish it .

“It’s really good . If I’m still feeling sleepy tomorrow, I’ll make another,” Yuan Zhou smacked his lips and said .

Next, Yuan Zhou started cleaning the kitchen . This was his habit . After cooking, he would clean the kitchen .

Although the system would keep the kitchen clean, Yuan Zhou still did this out of habit .

“I wonder if Broth is back,” Yuan Zhou wiped his hands and recalled about Broth .

Creak . Yuan Zhou opened the back door . Broth was there, sitting in front of his bowl .

Broth still looked the same . His coat of fur was ash gray with a tinge of brown mixed within . The fur on its face was longer now, while the color of its eyes was getting deeper as well . The pair of dark purple eyes that looked like a pair of grapes made it seem like a very smart dog .

Naturally, Broth’s size had grown as well . When sitting there, its round belly was quite obvious .

“Look at you . You’re growing fatter . Do you want to join me on my daily jog to lose some weight?” Yuan Zhou seriously said after sizing up Broth .

Broth raised its head to glance at Yuan Zhou before lowering its head to focus at its paws again . It was completely ignoring Yuan Zhou .

“I’m serious, Broth . If you got too fat, your girlfriend might dump you . The Poodle upstairs looks very good, eh?” Yuan Zhou crouched down and spoke with a completely serious expression .

Broth looked to the other side . If a look of contempt could appear on a dog’s face, this was probably the face Broth would be making now .

It was quite a pity that Broth wasn’t a Husky — the king of expressions among dogs .

“Fine, fine . You don’t have to lose weight . But your fur has grown longer . Do you want me to shave them off for you? It’s summer,” Yuan Zhou finally revealed his true reason .

That’s right . The other day, Yuan Zhou saw a Chow-Chow that had its fur shaved clean and was reminded of how he had never shaved Broth’s fur .

“I’m quite skilled in shaving,” Yuan Zhou said with confidence as he recalled how cleanly he had plucked the feathers off the chickens and ducks in the kitchen .

“Woof . ” Broth abruptly barked at Yuan Zhou before standing up and leaving .

It was unknown if Broth was being scared off by Yuan Zhou’s thoughts . After all, those chickens and ducks were all slaughtered animals that were going to be cooked as food .

Broth was an arrogant dog that seemed to understand human speech . It was naturally able to see that Yuan Zhou was harboring evil designs from his expression .

“Fine, fine . Forget it if you don’t want to shave . Why are you scaring me by suddenly barking?” Yuan Zhou muttered and stood up .

“Looks like Broth is indeed seeing someone . He’s not even willing to shave,” Yuan Zhou continued muttering .

Yuan Zhou returned to the kitchen and closed the back door . This time, he directly went upstairs to clean up . After all, he had been interacting with Broth earlier .

Nowadays, Yuan Zhou would shower three times per day . Therefore, his shower speed was still quite fast .

Shortly after, he was done . While wiping his hair, he walked towards his room .

Right this moment, his phone rang . “Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling” . It was the same ringtone .

Yuan Zhou picked up his phone and looked at the caller ID . From the phone number, it would seem like the caller was calling from France .

“This number?” Yuan Zhou was doubtful but he still answered the call .

“Hello,” Yuan Zhou answered .

“It’s me, Chu Xiao,” Chu Xiao’s deep voice sounded from the other side of the phone .

“Oh, ok,” Yuan Zhou gave an indifferent reply .

Then, the situation got awkward . Yuan Zhou did not know what to say and had no idea why did Chu Xiao call him . Therefore, he waited for Chu Xiao to speak .

On the other hand, Chu Xiao was waiting for Yuan Zhou to ask why he called .

And thus, the two sank into silence .

As a master that had long made his name, Chu Xiao had great patience . As for Yuan Zhou, he was the future Master Chef . Therefore, his patience was good as well . He stepped forward and stood beside the window as he waited .

After three minutes of waiting, both of them, each at a different side of the world, did the same action .

With their right hands, they held onto the phone and pressed it against their ears .

Yuan Zhou was standing by the window in his room while rubbing his hair with a calm expression on his face .

Chu Xiao was standing by the window in his office, gazing at the flowerbed downstairs with a calm expression on his face .

It was quite rare for Yuan Zhou to not be worrying about the phone bill and played along in this game of silence with Chu Xiao .

Dong . Dong . Yuan Zhou heard the sound of a door being knocked from the phone . Then, he heard someone saying “Please wait” in French . Then, Chu Xiao spoke again .

“Pay more attention to the strangers in your restaurant for now,” Chu Xiao said .

“Um,” Yuan Zhou answered . He did not ask any questions .

Inwardly, he was complaining . “My shop is filled with strangers every single day . Who should I be paying attention to? Is Chu Xiao’s girlfriend coming? I don’t recall hearing about that . “

Immediately, Yuan Zhou’s thoughts strayed .

“A stranger that is either a foreigner or a local bringing a foreigner,” Chu Xiao added .

“And?” Yuan Zhou directly asked .

“The reviewers from Michelin have arrived in China and have recently come to Chengdu,” Chu Xiao did not give a direct answer and said this instead .

“Ok, got it,” Yuan Zhou indifferently replied .

“Goodbye,” a helpless look appeared on Chu Xiao’s face before he said his goodbyes .

“Ok . Bye,” Yuan Zhou immediately ended the call after saying that .

“Tsk, he managed to end the call before me,” Chu Xiao said in regret with his finger hovering on the button to end the call .

Chu Xiao was waiting for Yuan Zhou to say goodbye before hanging up the call on him . However, Yuan Zhou was a step faster than him . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

“Michelin? Interesting,” Yuan Zhou stared at his phone, waves rising in his heart .

Yuan Zhou was, after all, a person who had experienced a lot . He would not be anxious just because people from Michelin were coming .

In any case, he maintained perfection at all times . He did not need to make any preparations for the arrival of those from Michelin .

“Time to prepare the dinner ingredients,” Yuan Zhou said after checking the time .

His hair was nearly dry by now so he directly changed his clothes .

From how dry his hair was, one could imagine how long the two had been playing the game of silence over the phone .

If it wasn’t for the fact that someone was waiting for Chu Xiao over there, their game of silence would continue even longer . How much longer it could go on was now a puzzle .
