Chapter 60: Thriftless Yuan Zhou

Only after stuffing all the pulp of the watermelon into the machine did Yuan Zhou close the lid of the machine. He then brought out a glass cup and placed it under the machine at the faucet.

Afterward, Yuan Zhou grasped the black rod on the lid and pushed it down slowly. The pulp of the watermelon inside was crushed, causing bright and attractive red watermelon juice to flow slowly and ceaselessly into the glass cup.

When he pushed the rod all the way to the end, just enough watermelon juice flowed into the glass cup to fill it up.

“Your watermelon juice.” Yuan Zhou carried out the cup and placed it in front of Wu Zhou.

“Boss Yuan, I always thought you were a cold-hearted person before, but it turns out that you are so kind to me,” Wu Zhou said with a touched expression while holding the cup of watermelon juice in his hand..

“Pardon?” Yuan Zhou couldn’t understand why he had been touched at all.

“Surprisingly, you extracted the juice from the core of the watermelon and left the remaining parts for others,” Wu Zhou continued saying in a moved tone.

“Sorry, that is a misunderstanding. I will serve all customers with an intact watermelon just like I did for you. Only that same part can be used to make the juice,” while saying that, Yuan Zhou picked up the leftovers and placed it in another cabinet at the bottom row.

The system collected back the watermelon remains.

Yuan Zhou’s explanation didn’t convince Wu Zhou at all. He thought that Yuan Zhou must merely be reluctant to admit it. Who would believe that only the core of watermelons was used to extract juice and the remaining leftovers were just abandoned?

However, he considerately changed the subject. “Boss Yuan, I would like to drink iced watermelon juice. I don’t think there’s any problem with adding some ice cubes, is there?” Wu Zhou asked while he was holding the cup of watermelon juice.

“No way,” Yuan Zhou answered, refusing Wu Zhou decisively. “The watermelon juice is already ice-cold.”

Wu Zhou looked at Yuan Zhou with an unbelievable expression. “You must be kidding me. The cup feels like it is at room temperature. If there are no ice cube in the juice, how could it be ice-cold?”

Yuan Zhou, nevertheless, skipped over Wu Zhou’s concerns and started to greet another new customer.

This time the new customer was Wang Meng, who had been here before for live broadcast. Today, she was dressed in the scarlet short-sleeve shirt and a dark blue, floral-printed longuette covered with black silk. She looked pretty and gave off a youthful vibe, the vivid colors also formed a contrast with her white skin.

“Hi, everybody. I have returned to the nameless restaurant again today.” Wang Meng had a playful and cute voice. While saying, she acted cutely to her audience.

[Hurry up and see the handsome boss, Meng Meng. I want to see him.] Ye Mo Sheng

[No, No, No. We waited to see Meng Meng eat dishes.] Xing Jian Ru Lai

[I am still curious about Boss Yuan’s price list. Meng Meng, please show us the price list.] Amateur & Understand

[Right. Meng Meng, go to check the price list.] GG He He Da

“In response to everybody’s request, let’s first check what new dishes Boss Yuan has developed.” While saying, Meng Meng moved the camera lens towards the price list.

Immediately, her audiences exploded on the screen. Numerous messaged flashed through the screen.

[What did I see? Are those Herbal Tea Eggs?] Dreams Leaping Forward

[I finally believed that I can’t afford Herbal Tea Eggs. This must be a golden egg.] A Wrong Way towards Belief

[Sorry, my fault. I really couldn’t afford the Herbal Tea Eggs. No doubt, I am a Diaos①. I really have to look away from the price.] Fragrant Tile-Fried Chicken

[Make a way for me. Wealthy person is coming through. Ok, it’s only 888RMB for the eggs. No problem, I can afford that. Meng Meng, receive my gift.] He&Ro. While the words appeared, Wang Meng received some electronic currency

[I hate the rich. This restaurant is so black-hearted. A Herbal Tea Egg costing 888RMB. Why doesn’t the boss just go and rob? No, even robbing wouldn’t give that much.] Discourse of Dark Night

“Thanks for the wealthy He&Ro’s gift ~~ but this price seems to be a special offer for today.” Meng Meng first expressed her gratitude at the gift of electronic currency and then pointed out the two eye-catching ‘Special Offer’ charcaters beside the price of the Herbal Tea Eggs.

[Oh, no. I don’t accept special offers. Someone as wealthy as me will only eat dishes at their original price.] He&Ro

[I, on the other hand, shall continue eating dirt. Goodbye!] GG He He Da

“Gee, the boss is serving watermelon juice today. I would like to eat watermelon juice and Egg Fried Rice today,” Meng Meng tilted her head, considering her choices before saying happily.
