Chapter 22: Troubles Caused by the New Dish

Wu Hai first looked at the price on the menu, then took 3 100RMB notes out of his wallet and handed them over to Yuan Zhou.

Yuan Zhou received the money, then placed it into the cash box. By the way, this cash box was the one designed and provided by the system. The cash box would automatically give back the exact change if the change was needed. There was absolutely no need to worry about any mistake as it was completely foolproof.

This advanced device was definitely a tool that every cashier was jealous of. After all, their occupation required absolute accuracy. If there was any mistake, cashiers needed to make up for the shortage themselves but wouldn’t get any benefits if there were surpluses.

Every night after closing the restaurant, the system would take away 90% of the daily turnover. But starting from today, it would only take 80% and leave 20% for Yuan Zhou since he had reached the 1st level.

“Hold on.” Having handed the change of 12RMB to Wu Hai, Yuan Zhou returned to the kitchen and prepared to cook.

In Gao Ying’s opinion, a plate of Egg Fried Rice wouldn’t need long to prepare, even if it was a set meal. She decided to wait until this suspected shill completed his meal, then would she consider whether to have a meal here. While tucking her hair behind her ear, she silently watched Yuan Zhou return to cook the meal.

Gao Ying’s speculation was on point, the time taken to prepare a set meal was the same as time taken to prepare a plate of Egg Fried Rice, as Yuan Zhou merely needed to cook the Egg Fried Rice for both meals. The moment Yuan Zhou placed the plate of Egg Fried Rice on the tray, the side dishes for the set meal, a small bowl of seaweed soup and a small plate of pickled radish turned up instantly. This advanced technology really could produce a miracle in a minute.

Yuan Zhou deftly brought the tray to Wu Hai.

“Boss, only two side dishes for the set meal?” Wu Hai craned forward, staring at the tray in Yuan Zhou’s hands and asked.

“Please talk after the meal.” Without saying much, Yuan Zhou set the tray on the table then took out the dishes quickly.

“Ok. Let me try.” As a regular customer, Wu Hai knew the boss seldom spoke and was a principled man. Of course, his meals were definitely top-classed as well. He took up the spoon from the cutlery set and prepared to taste the soup first.

Meanwhile, after observing for a while, Gao Ying had confirmed that this guest was not a shill and inquired, “Boss, is this a set meal? Then what about the Egg Fried Rice dish?”

“An Egg Fried Rice dish simply means a plate of Egg Fried Rice, nothing else.” Facing a pretty girl, Yuan Zhou answered without hesitation.

“Then why is it so expensive?” Gao Ying felt confused.

This set meal was obviously provided for free in ordinary restaurants, but here, in this small restaurant, it was a dozen times more expensive. The price of the Egg Fried Rice dish was also a few dozen folds compared to the ordinary restaurants outside, and it was merely a simple plate of Egg Fried Rice. Gao Ying felt that she became ignorant about the outside world since she hadn’t had meals outside for a long time.

She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead gently. Looking at the hot sun outside, Gao Ying decided to order one serving and try the taste.

“One cup of water and one serving of Egg Fried Rice, please.”

“Apologies. Except for the dishes on the menu, I don’t offer any other foods, including water.” Yuan Zhou shrugged his shoulders and said while looking at Gao Ying.

“…” Although Gao Ying had been working as an HR for many years and had already mastered the art of staying calm, yet she couldn’t help having the urge to swear now.

For one serving of Egg Fried Rice worth 188RMB, the boss didn’t offer even a cup of hot water! If it wasn’t because she didn’t want to wander all over the place for a meal, she would have already left in displeasure. After all, money wasn’t grown on trees.

“Ok, fine. One set meal, please.” Gao Ying said to Yuan Zhou, gritting her teeth in rage.

“Ok. One moment, please.”

Yuan Zhou didn’t care much about Gao Ying’s manner. He believed that she would succumb to the Egg Fried Rice once she tasted it. Then she would return again and again if her economic situation allowed her to do so.

Ever since Yuan Zhou obtained the system and created these dishes, he no longer worried about getting customers. After all, it was a big world and there were so many gourmets. thus Yuan Zhou’s goal was to be the very best.

As she sat there, Gao Ying felt she had fallen into a trap after paying the money. When she turned her head, preparing to ask the small mustache man about this restaurant, she found that the man was drinking the soup and eating the pickled radish with a face full of satisfaction, also occasionally chomping down a spoonful of Egg Fried Rice. He didn’t even notice she was staring at him.
