Chapter 44: New Dish

To customers waiting outside the restaurant for their breakfast, it was actually quite late. However, Yuan Zhou felt it was still early as it was only 10:00 in the morning.

“Hua La”

He opened the door and the sunlight streamed directly into the room. Then he gave a stretch at the entrance and returned to the kitchen.

He opened the preservation cabinet and took out the noodles prepared last night, throwing them into the cooking pot.

“It’s definitely great to have noodles for breakfast in the morning,” Yuan Zhou said to himself while stirring the noodles in the cooking pot.

He had totally disregarded the fact that he didn’t have a lot of noodles on hand and the more he consumed, the less there was left.

“Guluk.” Once the Clear Broth Noodle Soup entered his stomach, Yuan Zhou immediately felt full of spirit again.

Time passed by quickly. Soon it was 11:30 a.m.

“Boss, where are we going? There aren’t many restaurants on that small street.” Of the six people, only Ma Wei kept talking and asking. He didn’t seem to know the meaning of silence.

“Why are you so noisy? If our boss brought us here, there is definitely a restaurant.” The seemingly austere girl with her hair in a bun glared at him.

“Oh, you finally got scolded huh?” the slightly plump man beside him ridiculed Ma Wei.

While paying little attention to the chatter, Wu Anlu walked quickly. In his memory, boss Yuan Zhou had a fairly good business and there were limited several seats. He didn’t want to queue, thus walked quickly and soon reached the entrance of the restaurant.

“Ok, this is it. Let’s enter,” Wu Anlu turned back and said to his subordinates. Then, he entered first.

“Is this the so-called restaurant? This tiny eatery?” Ma Wei lowered his voice and said to his colleague Xiao Liu beside him.

“Let’s wait and see. Our boss is not a stingy person.” Xiao Liu shook his head with a frown.

“That was quite a large order, the commission isn’t low.” The last person complained and then entered the restaurant.

“A generous person may be stingy sometimes,” another colleague murmured.

Hoping that their manager was a generous person, Ma Wei stepped into the restaurant. Nevertheless, he found it quite simple inside as well. Several people were sitting on the seats and talking with a man standing behind a long curved table.

Looking around the room, he discovered that there wasn’t even a waiter. There were also very few seats. Besides a small table and two chairs at the entrance, there were only eight high chairs, two of which had already been occupied by other customers. Of course, the small table and the two chairs were also taken. It seemed that they could only seat on the remaining high chairs.

Both the decorations and the atmosphere were pretty bad.

“How could our boss take us to such an inferior place,” Ma Wei murmured in a low voice. “Where is the promised grand meal?”

While being discontented, he suddenly felt someone was pulling his clothes. He took a glance, finding it was his colleague Xiao Liu, then he asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you pulling my clothes?”

“Look, look at the price over there,” while talking to Ma Wei, he gulped subconsciously, before finishing the sentence.

Ma Wei then looked at the direction of Xiao Liu’s hand.

“Jesus, did I misread it?” Ma Wei rubbed his eyes in shock and revealed a disbelieving look.

Ma Wei spoke so loudly that all his colleagues around heard him and turned back to see what was going on.

“Boss, you are so generous! The price list indicated that a plate of Egg Fried Rice cost ¥188? Are the rice grains wrapped in gold?”

“Holy shit, I’ve never bumped into an Egg Fried Rice worth almost ¥200 before in my whole life.”

“Cough. I admit wrong, I shouldn’t have doubted our boss’s sincerity to offer us a grand meal.”
