Chapter 21 (2/2)

“System, please give me another bowl of seaweed soup and pickled radish. I could just eat them up without any fried rice.”

“The system read, “Additional pickles and soup are unavailable.”

“…”

“It turns out you’re toying with us again. How is it enough for one’s appetite with such a small amount?” Yuan Zhou finally experienced the pain of only being able to eat one bowl of Egg Fried Rice. Although he could pay another 288 RMB for them, he was still not willing to do so.

Time flew by very quickly. It was 11:30 now. Yuan Zhou looked around his restaurant carefully. The price of the Egg Fried Rice Set had already automatically appeared on the menu and price list. No other preparations were necessary. After checking his appearance for a while, Yuan Zhou opened the door.

About five minutes later, a guest came into the restaurant. This time it was a new customer rather than a regular.

It was a lady aged 30 or so. She was dressed well, giving of the air of an intellectual. She wore a set of dark blue work attire, which fitted her figure well and carried a leather handbag in her hand. A pair of rimless glasses emphasized her sharp eyes. Her hair was tied back, with light make-up on the face and cherry red lips.

“Duk Duk Duk”

While walking into the restaurant in high-heeled shoes, she looked carefully around the interior surroundings. Obviously, she was picky about cleanliness. Only when she nodded her head privately and revealed a manner of satisfaction did she find a seat facing Yuan Zhou.

She took a look at the table. The log colored table wasn’t spray painted and seemed fairly clean without any greasy stains. She felt quite satisfied, thus put her handbag down on the table.

The name of the lady was Gao Ying. She was 31 years old and was a human resources officer at a large company. As she had slight mysophobia, she seldom had meals outside unless absolutely necessary. It was a coincidence today as her car broke down. You say take a taxi or bus? No, no. So many people had been inside, moreover, it was a confined space. As she thought of that, Gao Ying preferred to find a clean eatery and eat something.

There were indeed lots of eateries down the office building but there were also lots of people. Furthermore, the shop signs of the eateries all looked dirty. Naturally, Gao Ying wouldn’t go to those places. After several comparisons, she finally chose Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, the one without even a shop sign, as it looked cleanest.

Of course, Gao Ying didn’t know that this restaurant was within the control of the system. As long as there was any dirt or stains, the system would immediately clean it. Arguably, the cleanliness of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant could be said to be as good as a sterile room. However, there were still some beneficial bacteria, rather than the harmful kind, at his restaurant.

“Boss, what kind of simple food do you serve?” In Gao Ying’s opinion, simple meant less contact with hands. Only then would the food be slightly cleaner.

“The menu is on the wall behind of you. Have a look, please.” Yuan Zhou had been observing the lady the moment she stepped into the restaurant. After seeing her sit down and looking around in disgust for a while, he speculated that the lady wouldn’t eat after seeing the price thus he simply pointed at the wall.

Gao Ying turned her head and looked at the wall. The price marked on the menu made her push the glasses upward. She thought she must have seen the price wrongly due to her mild nearsightedness and the scratched glasses. However, when she gave a good look at the price, she found it was indeed that price. She couldn’t help but turn her head looking at the boss and thought, “Unexpectedly, this good looking man is trying to rip people off. Just a Egg Fried Rice, yet he dares to sell for 188 RMB while the set sells 100 RMB higher, 288 RMB.”

“Boss, do you only have these two choices?” Gao Ying asked with in displeasure and surprise.

“Wow, I am surprised I’m not the first customer here today. Boss Yuan, please offer me the new dish. I have been waiting for you to open the door since early morning.” Before Yuan Zhou answered Gao Ying, the small mustache man, Wu Hai, living on the other side of the street had walked into the restaurant in big strides.

“A shill?” Gao Ying muttered.
