Chapter 788: 788

As soon as Yuan Zhou turned up, the customers that lined up immediately responded to him enthusiastically and fervently .

“Good morning, Boss Yuan . I missed you badly . ”

“Was it fun in Thailand? How was your trip there, Boss Yuan?”

“Look this way, Boss Yuan . I’m going to take a photo of you and post it on my Moments . Don’t go out anymore recently . You must open the restaurant and earn money . ”

Seeing somebody taking a photo of him, Yuan Zhou straightened his back habitually with his expression still as solemn as always . That was his style .

“Boss Yuan, Boss Yuan, I think you have gotten sunburned, haven’t you?”

“However, he is also very handsome this way . ”

“Yeah . Boss Yuan is the most handsome man . ”

Since they hadn’t seen Yuan Zhou for a whole week, some bold female customers began to make fun of him .

Of course, they didn’t really have much battle effectiveness as Jiang Changxi wasn’t here . With his complexion unchanged, Yuan Zhou just nodded his head slightly and accepted the compliments readily . Then, he turned around and went back into the restaurant .

At that moment, Zhou Jia went up to them right on time and said .

“Morning, everybody . Breakfast time starts now . Please enter the restaurant and enjoy your meal,” said Zhou Jia .

Once she said that, the first few customers suddenly rushed into the restaurant .

It was Ma Zhida who stood at the forefront today . As soon as he got seated, he let out a sigh of relief with ease, “Wow, I’m surprisingly the first today, not Shameless Wu . ”

“Exactly . I never expect that Shameless Wu still hadn’t return till now . ” Man Man also nodded her head and agreed .

“Just ignore him . I’m almost starving . Jia Jia, prepare a serving of Clear Broth Noodle Soup for me,” a customer at the side said to Zhou Jia .

“Yeah, yeah . Let’s eat first . Prepare a serving of Clear Broth Noodle Soup Set for me . ” Another customer also started to order his dishes .

“I’m going to splurge once today . I also want the Clear Broth Noodle Soup Set . ” A customer that hadn’t eaten it for a long time decided to spend more today .

Just in a little while, the first twelve customers finished ordering dishes and just waited there anxiously . For an instant, one could hear nothing but the sound of boiling water . It was very quiet .

They were simply like children who were waiting in line silently for good food . Everybody was eagerly looking forward to eating the first meal cooked by Yuan Zhou after he came back .

During the several days when Yuan Zhou was away, Wei Wei was in an argument with her father . And they were still in a cold war now .

Somebody said such kind of things wouldn’t happen if Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was open . But somebody else said Yuan Zhou’s restaurant wasn’t God’s hostel and it was not like it could meddle in everything .

They were rough words but the theory was there . Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was part of life, but life wasn’t only about Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

However, it was undeniable that Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was a very important part of the customers’ life .

For example, Zhou Jia .

Apart from Yuan Zhou and Zhou Jia who came to work early in the morning in the restaurant, there was also Master Cheng who had been studying diligently . He stood at his fixed position and seriously watched Yuan Zhou cook the noodles .

Therefore, he obtained a nickname of Door-god Cheng .

As all the materials had already been prepared beforehand, half the noodles for the first twelve people were also done in no more than 5 minutes .

“Boss Yuan, you are still cooking so quickly . ” Ma Zhida, who received his dishes first, sighed with emotion .

“Of course . Boss Yuan is the quickest . ” Man Man drank a mouthful of the broth blissfully and said affirmatively .

Once Man Man said that, however, Ma Zhida almost couldn’t help spitting out the broth he had barely drunk .

“Man Man, how do you know Boss Yuan is quick? Don’t speak the truth so carelessly . ” A man beside her immediately opened his eyes open and looked at Man Man in surprise .

“Yeah, he’s right . The truth can’t be told so carelessly . As a man, he can be short and he can be thin, but he can never be quick . ” Another customer humphed .

There were also some other customers who looked at Yuan Zhou and snickered .

Seeing the customers in the restaurant all make fun of her, Man Man finally understood what they meant . Immediately, she blushed and explained to them .

“What are you guys thinking of? What I mean is Boss Yuan cooks dishes well and quickly,” said Man Man loudly .

“Oh, yeah . We know that . Boss Yuan is naturally very good . ” Ma Zhida nodded his head .

Ma Zhida had originally wanted to make fun of her, too . But after he looked at Yuan Zhou and the Clear Broth Noodle Soup in front of him, he gave up the alluring thought . Eating mattered more than anything else, so he said so obediently .

As for Yuan Zhou, he just turned a deaf ear to these discussions and cooked the noodles silently . Of course, it would be more convincing if he didn’t try to add some ghost chilies into Man Man’s bowl .

Fortunately, Man Man was the second one of the first twelve people, therefore, she had already started to eat her Clear Broth Noodle Soup .

Yuan Zhou believed that he wasn’t worse than others on the matter of being quick or not .

There were only 100 servings of breakfast . Compared with lunch and dinner, it naturally ended more quickly . And the customers who managed to eat breakfast naturally left with their heart’s content .

Those who didn’t manage to eat breakfast also felt relieved . As long as Boss Yuan came back, they could naturally eat it sooner or later . At the worst, they could come to line up again at noon .

That was the thought of the other customers .

Sometimes, they didn’t necessarily need to eat something here . They had a sense of satisfaction as long as they saw that the restaurant was open every day .

It seemed to have been a habit to see if Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was open . Somebody who studied fortune-telling even said that Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was a business of good fortune . He analyzed for quite a while and finally got the conclusion that he could have good luck as long as he kept the restaurant open .

This thing was too difficult to validate . Even though the luck was very good, one couldn’t change their fate that was already predetermined .

After the breakfast ended, Zhou Jia said goodbye to Yuan Zhou with a smile on her face while Master Cheng stayed .

“What’s the matter?” Yuan Zhou asked him when he found Master Cheng wasn’t leaving .

“Master Yuan, how did you feel in Thailand?” A smile appeared on the straightforward and good-natured face of Master Cheng .

“Not bad,” Yuan Zhou thought of his stomach ache that had gone on for a few days and said lightly .

“There’s a gourmet seminar happening recently in Vietnam . Are you going there?” Master Cheng asked .

“No . ” Yuan Zhou immediately refused .

What a joke! His stomach had barely recovered . If he went to a country without any delicacies again now, he probably wouldn’t feel good for this whole year .

“Did you receive the invitation?” Yuan Zhou suddenly asked .

“Yes . I’m the principal judge of the seminar,” Master Cheng said in embarrassment .

After all, he still felt a little embarrassed to say he was the principal judge of the gourmet seminar in the face of Yuan Zhou . It was like teaching fish to swim .

As it was known to all, Yuan Zhou did much better than him on aspects of the craftsmanship and the understanding of food ingredients .

“It’s pretty good . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

“Thank you . ” Master Cheng thanked him .

“It’s your own capability,” said Yuan Zhou earnestly .

“You taught me well . Thank you . ” Master Cheng appeared quite earnest when he said that . And when he said thanks, he made a bowl of 90 degrees seriously .

With regard to Master Cheng’s bowing and gratitude, Yuan Zhou didn’t get out of the way . He deserved that .

“Um . There won’t be any new dish these few days,” said Yuan Zhou suddenly .

“Thank you, Master Yuan . ” Master Cheng became quite delighted .

Yes, that was the reason why Master Cheng was so hesitant about whether or not he would go to Vietnam . If he left for Vietnam and Yuan Zhou happened to serve new dishes, he would be at a great loss .

However, he didn’t dare to tell Yuan Zhou about his concerns nor could he tell them . After all, Yuan Zhou had once told him that he wasn’t his apprentice . But now Yuan Zhou told him directly that he wouldn’t serve any new dish during these several days, which made Master Cheng feel quite touched .

“All right . Go now . ” Yuan Zhou knitted his brows and then waved his hand .

“Okay . I will bring some gifts for you from Vietnam by then . ” There was a big smile on Master Cheng’s face .

“You don’t need to . Just prepare for the seminar well,” Yuan Zhou said .

“Don’t worry . I won’t lose face . ” Master Cheng guaranteed .

“Um . ” Without saying anything more, Yuan Zhou just nodded his head .

“Master Yuan, you can call him to pick you up if you want to go outside these few days . ” Master Cheng took out a phone number and put it on the table .

Yuan Zhou took a look at the phone number on the table and then at Master Cheng and didn’t say anything .

“This is the phone number of my pupil . He is free these few days . Just call him if you need him to drive you anywhere . He drives quite steadily,” said Master Cheng earnestly .

“Okay . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and didn’t refuse his kindness .

“Okay . I’m leaving now . Bye, Master Yuan . ” Master Cheng was quite happy when he found Yuan Zhou didn’t refuse him .

“Have a good trip,” said Yuan Zhou .

“Okay, bye . ” Master Cheng turned around and waved his hand to Yuan Zhou again when he walked toward the door .

Not until Master Cheng left did Yuan Zhou take up the phone number and go upstairs .

“He’s so considerate . ” Yuan Zhou put the phone number into the drawer of the bedside cupboard and then muttered .

Though Yuan Zhou wouldn’t call his pupil to do anything, Master Cheng’s demeanor was quite touching . He wasn’t Yuan Zhou’s real apprentice, but he had truly taken Yuan Zhou as his master and respected him .
