Chapter 29 (2/2)

Yuan Zhou just waited silently until all the dishes were served on the table.

“Sir, all dishes you ordered are here. Please take your time.”

“Thank you”

Yuan Zhou nodded his head and thanked the young brother. Afterwards, he picked up the chopsticks and prepared to taste them.

Ever since he obtained the system, Yuan Zhou’s five senses became much better compared to an ordinary person. It was not a problem to conduct a taste test on those dishes.

While Yuan Zhou was carefully tasting the dishes, the Master Chef Restaurant was a mess.

There were rumbles, just like a sudden thunder on a Spring day.

First it was the small mustache man, Wu Hai, who arrived on time every day. He came to the entrance at 09:10 a.m.

It was cold and cheerless in front of the entrance. Nothing was there, only a white piece of paper was pasted on the closed roller shutter door, with “Going out for emergency. Open for business tonight” written on it.

“Open for business tonight? Not opening at noon? It shouldn’t be like that. The business at noon is supposed to be quite good.” While muttering to himself, Wu Hai returned to his own house, not even having breakfast. Who could eat ordinary Soup Dumplings and steamed bread if they had tried the taste of the delicious Egg Fried Rice? If his financial circumstances permitted, he would definitely choose the tastier one.

Other people who came for the breakfast also saw the piece of paper. They also thought that the restaurant may be open for business during noon. After all, no one would turn their back on good business.

Time went by quickly. At noon when everybody got off work, Yuan Zhou’s restaurant had been surrounded by many customers. Everyone started to complain and shout, all talking at once. People who didn’t understand the situation thought a gang fight was starting.

“What’s wrong with the restaurant? It still isn’t open even at noon? I have to go to work soon.” A paunchy man complained while looking at his watch and touching his starving stomach.

“Didn’t you see the paper? Open for business tonight.” Another person beside him answered, also annoyed by the wait.

“The restaurant was open this morning. Why is it closed now?” the young man in a suit said in puzzlement. He was the one who had eaten here in the morning and had ran here for lunch, only to find the door firmly shut.

“What? It was opened this morning? Why didn’t I know that?” Wu Hai asked immediately upon hearing that.

“Yes. The Soup Dumplings cooked by the young master were so delicious and unique. I intended to have some again at noon. You see, I even brought my wife here,” A neatly dressed old man said in a regretful tone. Then he explained the situation in a low voice to a plainly dressed old lady with grey hair.

“The Soup Dumplings? Why didn’t I know that? It was closed When I came in the morning.” Wu Hai was originally in bad mood as he hadn’t managed to eat his Egg Fried Rice for breakfast that morning. Now, hearing that he had probably missed a new dish, he became even more irritated.

“Ah, it’s Brother Wu Hai. Yes, it’s true. There is another new dish, The Soup Dumplings, in Boss Yuan’s restaurant.” When the young man in suits realized it was Wu Hai that often visited the restaurant for his meals, he started to describe to Wu Hai how delicious and delicate the Soup Dumplings were.

Nobody knew the occupation of the young man in a suit. Although not good at quarreling, he had a talent in describing. At the very least, he made the old customers nearby started to drool as they thought of Yuan Zhou’s excellent craftsmanship, feeling even hungrier.

In a little while, a third of the people that ate The Soup Dumplings in the morning gathered outside Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. These people described in turn the unique The Soup Dumplings one by one. The customers no longer felt bored, the only thing they felt was their hunger getting stronger.

“Please stop talking. My belly has been grumbling endlessly in protest,” The paunchy man said painfully as he covered his belly regardless of his image.

“Exactly. I’m so hungry that I’m about to get gastric. Please stop talking”, said Yin Ya. A pretty girl’s words always had excellent effects, therefore several people stopped.

Only they themselves should know was it because the more they thought of the tasty The Soup Dumplings and became hungrier, or some other reason.

Hence, all the customers standing at the entrance of the restaurant started to denounce Yuan Zhou all together.
