After tapping it open and checking the mission, Yuan Zhou smiled contentedly.

“Boss Yuan, I got it. I thought of an idea.” Just as Yuan Zhou was prepared to receive the reward, Wu Hai’s screaming startled him.

“What’s the matter?” crossing his arms, Yuan Zhou turned and asked.

“Give me with one Egg Fried Rice Set,” Wu Hai said with a complacent manner.

“Ah, not bad. It’ll be served in a minute,” Yuan Zhou raised his eyebrows and replied.

That’s right, the idea that Wu Hai thought of was to eat the hot sauce with the Egg Fried Rice. This was absolutely a terrific combination. More importantly, Yuan Zhou only mentioned that the hot sauce couldn’t be taken with the noodle soup; he never said it couldn’t be used on the Egg Fried Rice. Wu Hai definitely wanted to praise himself for his intelligent idea.

“What? So we can order two servings now?” Yin Ya asked curiously while carefully savoring the dish.

“Of course not. But you can order one serving for each dish.” When Wu Hai was in good mood, he would enjoy chatting with pretty girls.

To be able to become an executive assistant, Yin Ya’s mind naturally worked very quickly, she immediately came to an understanding. “So it‘s like that.”

“Slurp slurp”

Wu Hai quickly gulped down the noodles, then brought the bowl to his mouth and drank the remaining broth.

In Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, leftovers never existed. The Clean Plate Habit [1] was thoroughly implemented, even the truck that collected the slops didn’t drop by here.

Once, the truck had stopped by every day for a whole week, but never managed to collect any slops. From then on, it never stopped by again, just driving past the restaurant.

“Boss Yuan, is my dish ready?” Wu Hai asked as he took out some tissues from his pocket and wiped his mouth.

“It’s coming.” Yuan Zhou carried the tray and set it directly on Wu Hai’s table. He didn’t move to put the bowl on the table, merely signaling Wu Hai to take it by himself.

“Can this dish be eaten together with the chili sauce?” Wu Hai decided to inquire clearly first before eating

“Yes, do as you like.” Yuan Zhou shrugged and took back his tray.

“Thank goodness.”

Wu Hai first dipped his chopsticks in the chili oil, then put in his mouth, giving it a try.

It was a blend of savoriness, spiciness, freshness and saltiness that swept Wu Hai away.

“Chili really is the greatest invention throughout history.” The fragrant and spicy flavors stimulated Wu Hai’s appetite instantly.

He picked up a pea-sized beef and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing carefully. The delicate taste of the beef and the strong chili taste formed a distinctive contrast in his mouth.

“Boss Yuan, the beef you served is quite unusual.” Wu Hai opened his eyes and looked at Yuan Zhou in surprise.

Wu Hai had already known that every ingredient of Yuan Zhou’s was unusual. Apart from the chef’s abilities, ingredients take up the other 50% or more to create delicious dishes.

A good chef was like an artist, bringing out the best flavor using the best methods.

The taste and texture of the beef reminded Wu Hai instantly of an animal, a very precious creature that he had ever eaten once at a friend’s home. It was the aurochs, also known as Bosprimigenius, one of the most famous extinct species in Europe.

In order to affirm his suspicions, Wu Hai consecutively ate two pieces, setting down the chopsticks and then tasting it carefully and slowly. The beef was hard and chewy, but also crisp and tasty. Besides that, it carried about the special fragrance of a flower. That was the ruta, the national flower of Lithuania.

It was said that the aurochs enjoy eating this flower as it had the effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials, cooling the blood and preventing blood stasis. Moreover, it had other beneficial functions in treating colds, fevers, toothaches, headaches, sprains and even rashes caused by branches of trees.

Furthermore, the ruta had an especially strong aroma that acted as a bug repellent. Therefore the aurochs would always search for this flower from March to June and the end of winter every year to consume it.
