Chapter 47: A Bug in the System

“You’ll know if you order it. Are you going to try?” Yuan Zhou was always more patient towards beauties. At the very least, he threw in an extra “Are you going to try?”.

“Hey, beauty. Don’t be cheated by him. The No. 13 Specialty Plate is blueberry jam. As for the other one, I don’t know what it is either.” Wu Hai told her the truth right away.

“Then give me a serving of blueberry jam. I prefer jams.” Yin Ya ordered the blueberry jam. A known fact was obviously safer than an unknown mystery.

“All right. Hold on, guys.” Yuan Zhou didn’t have any reaction after Wu Hai revealed the truth. He was usually victorious when they argued, hence it made sense to let Wu Hai feel that he won occasionally.

Both Wu Hai and Yin Ya ordered the noodle soup. This dish was relatively easy to cook.

He took out the chopsticks specifically meant for the noodles and picked up two standard servings. Each serving had the same amount as they were decided by the system. Meanwhile, two of the porcelain grids were filled with water automatically until they were 70% full. The water boiled the instant the noodles were dipped inside.

The noodles floated and seemed to twist and wriggle about in the boiling water. During this span of time, Yuan Zhou swiftly prepared the seasonings needed in two bowls.

After that, he took out two small plates and placed them on the countertop. Once he finished all these small tasks, the noodles were perfectly cooked. Using the long chopsticks, Yuan Zhou brought them up and filled the two bowls with noodles. He gave them a little mix, allowing the seasonings inside to blend evenly with the noodles. Finally, he poured a spoonful of hot broth into the noodles, letting the fragrance out into the air.

“Pa, Pa”

With two clear sound, Yuan Zhou set the bowls onto the tray.

Then he turned around and started to prepare the sauces. This time, Yuan Zhou carefully tried an experiment. Even when the sauce was placed onto the tray and ready to be served, the system still didn’t give any reaction, which affirmed Yuan Zhou’s speculations.

So he carried the tray to the customers and served them the dishes calmly, just like usual.

“Wow, this is hot sauce! Moreover, it’s minced beef hot sauce (1). I’m so happy I get to eat spicy foods now.” Wu Hai gazed at the small plate of hot sauce in front of him blissfully. He was totally overwhelmed by happiness.

Wu Hai looked at the Clear Broth Noodle Soup, and then looked at the hot sauce. He felt that he had thought of a terrific idea. Slowly, he raised the sauce and prepared to pour it into the noodle soup…

“My apologies, you can’t add anything else into the Clear Broth Noodle Soup, this includes flavorings,” at the moment, Yuan Zhou carried up the bowl of noodle soup and said slowly.

“Eh…” Wu Hai was stupefied by Yuan Zhou’s words, still holding the plate of sauce in midair.

What the hell did that mean? What kind of f*cking unreasonable world was this? Couldn’t hot sauce be added into the noodle soup? Wu Hai almost wept in front of Yuan Zhou.

“Boss Yuan, I can’t live without spicy food. ‘Can’t live’ means that I will die.” Wu Hai looked at Yuan Zhou with a very serious expression, as if it were a matter of life and death. His eyes revealed an uncompromising flame.

“Oh, if it is like that, then I guess you can add it in today. Just don’t come to my restaurant anymore in future.” Yuan Zhou put the Clear Broth Noodle Soup back to its original position.

“Boss Yuan, let’s talk about this. Don’t be so merciless.” Wu Hai was just about to pour the sauce when he heard that and froze immediately. He then revealed an ‘everything is negotiable’ expression while looking at Yuan Zhou.

“This is Clear Broth Noodle Soup.” Yuan Zhou shattered Wu Hai’s expectation.

“Can’t it be modified?” Wu Hai was still hopeful.

“No.” Yuan Zhou continued to refuse him.

“Boss Yuan, you’ll be single for a lifetime if you keep adhering to your principles. No girl will want to be your girlfriend.”

After setting down the plate of the hot sauce hopelessly, Wu Hai spat out the most poisonous curse he could think of.

“No, I won’t. I’m handsome and so skilled in cooking. Unless all female creatures become extinct on this planet, I will be able to get a girl.” Yuan Zhou replied after seriously thinking about it.

“Ho Ho”

This was the only way for Wu Hai to express his scorn. Afterwards, he started to eat his noodle soup while looking at the hot sauce. He could at least feel a slight taste of spiciness like this. This could be considered a benefit for Wu Hai who was absolutely fond of spicy food, at least now there was a spicy sauce in the restaurant.

“It looks so good.” Looking at the food served on the table, Yin Ya first heaved a sigh filled with emotion at their appearance.
