Chapter 34: Idiotic Youth Having Much Fun

Previously the fat boss had fairly good business. Although his dishes were just average and more expensive than others, his food was clean and the place was tidy. After all, the white collar workers working nearby didn’t lack that extra 1 or 2 RMB.

But recently the fat boss realized that he was getting less and less customers. The man seated in front of him used to come three times a day for his meals, now he only came occasionally. Therefore, the boss tried to find out the situation from Wu Zhou.

“Yeah, I don’t feel like eating anything else,” Wu Zhou answered perfunctorily while thinking about his good idea excitedly.

Noticing that Wu Zhou was absent-minded, the fat boss felt it inappropriate to continue asking him. Just then, the Egg Fried Rice Wu Zhou ordered came.

“16RMB in total, for the Egg Fried Rice, along with the box. The soup has already been packed inside for you as well.” The fat boss said carefully while receiving the money with a smile.

“Be careful. Don’t let the soup pour out.” The fatty boss reminded him from the back when he saw Wu Zhou leave while carrying the dish carelessly.

“Got it.”

Wu Zhou walked quickly while carrying the box. He seemed to take little notice of the fat boss’s advice.

There were not many people on the street yet. Most of the employees in nearby office buildings got off work around 5:30 to 6:00 p.m. It was barely 5:00 p.m. now. Wu Zhou muttered to himself while carrying the dish with one hand and checking the time on his mobile phone with his other hand.

“There should be some seats available now. I just don’t know if it is open yet.”

……………

With a crash, Yuan Zhou opened the roller shutter door and stretched at the entrance. Looking left and right, he found that there were no customers waiting, thus he went back into the restaurant.

He had been exhausted these few days as more people came for meals in the limited time.

“Hummmm, when would this mission be completed?”

While thinking of that, he checked his mission status.

[Mission 2]: Since host has gotten some fame in the neighborhood, please obtain more than 1000 recognition points on the internet within 20 days.

(Mission Progress: 400 / 1000)

“It seems that I still have a long way to go. Fortunately, it has only been a few days.”

Yuan Zhou sat on his chair with one hand supporting his head and the other fiddling with the glass cup.”

“Boss Yuan, I have come to request for your help.” Noticing that there was nobody inside the restaurant, Wu Zhou then came up to Yuan Zhou while carrying the box of Egg Fried Rice.

“My rules are written on the wall. Look at it yourself.” Yuan Zhou had already been through the stage where he had to explain carefully to the customers about the rules. Therefore, he just pointed to the wall without even raising his head.

“Don’t worry, Boss Yuan. It is not about the matter of asking for extra servings,” Wu Zhou said as he stood in front of Yuan Zhou with the box in his hand.

For some affairs, words would flow out as long as you opened the mouth, for example, when borrowing money.

“What’s up?” Yuan Zhou was interested. He raised his head and looked at Wu Zhou curiously.

“Boss Yuan, I would like to eat here in your restaurant.” Upon seeing that Yuan Zhou had no reaction, Wu Zhou continued to say, “But what I intend to eat is a takeaway from another restaurant.”

“Why would you eat takeaways from other restaurants at my place?” Yuan Zhou felt this fairly absurd.

“I don’t have much money remaining. I would like to eat your dish, but I can’t afford it now. Therefore I have decided to eat the takeaway here at your restaurant, and imagine it to be the Egg Fried Rice cooked by you,” Wu Zhou told his reason while setting down the box on the table.

“Come in, please.” Yuan Zhou choked at the ridiculous reason. After quite a while, he raised his hand and made a “Please” gesture.

“It’s alright. There is still no one here yet. I’ll eat when someone orders the dish,” he said happily when he found that Yuan Zhou agreed.

“I can only use this way to obtain the same sensations of eating your tasty Egg Fried Rice,” he then added.
