Chapter 68: Entertaining Guests

But first, he had to make things clear.

“What exactly does part of a cuisine’s recipe mean?” Yuan Zhou asked quietly in his mind.

The system displayed the words, “A part of one of the random cuisines.”

“Then if I draw the lottery again, will other parts of the same cuisine appear?” Yuan Zhou asked the question that he was most concerned with.

The system read, “It depends on the first cuisine that you draw. The parts later would have a higher chance of being drawn.”

“Are the parts for each cuisine the same in quantity?” after giving it some thought, Yuan Zhou continued asking.

The system displayed the words, “It is different every time you draw. The size of each part will also differ.”

Only after clarifying all his concerns did Yuan Zhou head off to prepare the ingredients. Of course the good idea that he thought of would be put into action as well.

Therefore, when he turned back again, a smiling expression had emerged on his usual solemn face.

It startled the regular customers tremendously.

“What do you think happened to Boss Yuan?” A regular customer began to ask a stranger beside him.

This stranger was here for the first time; he was another one of the audience that watched the live broadcast. When he saw the person beside him revealing preparing-for-war expression, he couldn’t help feeling curious. “What’s wrong with you? Boss Yuan only smiled a little.”

“What? Brother, it’s your first time here, right?” the regular customer said with confidence.

“Yeah. I came here after watching Meng Meng’s live broadcast.” The audience who had watched the broadcast confirmed the regular customer’s suspicion.

“Boss Yuan never smiles. I have been here plenty of times but have never seen it happen. What do you think the situation is?” the regular customer cryptically said.

“Perhaps he is just in a good mood,” the audience of the broadcast said without paying much attention to that issue.

“Naïve. I believe Boss Yuan is thinking about slacking off,” at this time, somebody chipped in.

Ling Hong, on the other hand, looked at Yuan Zhou cautiously, worrying that he would say something disappointing.

Coincidently, with Yuan Zhou’s heighten senses, he could hear every word clearly. Now, Yuan Zhou was considering whether he should sleep in tomorrow morning. It was tiring to get up early and open the doors for business.

Then, Yuan Zhou returned to his usual expression, the expressionless one.

“I’m scared. Boss Yuan’s mood finally returned back to normal,” the man who had just chipped in said suddenly.

“Yeah, exactly. I thought something had happened to him.” Another customer continued the conversation while patting his heart.

Meanwhile, Yuan Zhou could clearly hear every word these customers said, thus decided to sleep in for two more days.

Having decided that, Yuan Zhou suddenly recalled the new mission. The few glittering words “Incomplete” were still hanging under the mission. Furthermore, Yuan Zhou was quite curious about the type of cuisines he could obtain from the lottery.

“This is what you call a genuine Egg Fried Rice!” While Yuan Zhou was immersed in his own thoughts, he was interrupted by a loud shout.

He raised his head and found it was the guy, Bamboo Eating Panda. Beside him were two empty plates, which were formerly filled with Egg Fried Rice and Beef Mince. It seemed that this guy had poured the remaining rice grains into the plate of beef mince before proceeding to finish his meal. Otherwise, the plates wouldn’t be eaten as clean as if they were newly bought.

“I feel that the Clear Broth Noodle Soup was better.” Ling Hong refuted against him with his mouth full.

“You’ll know which is better after you try the Egg Fried Rice along with the beef mince.” Bamboo Eating Panda then stopped talking and continued to eat other dishes after wiping his mouth.

“Let’s talk later,” Ling Hong swallowed the noodles and drank a mouthful of broth before replying.

The usual situation in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was that customers would start eating as soon as they were served their dishes and basically wouldn’t speak . After all, there was a crowd of people waiting behind them. Even when they wanted to talk, they would chatter fervently with each other while they were queuing in the line.

Even if they were asked to leave once they finished the meal just like in a fast food joint, the customers still couldn’t stop their pursuit of those delicacies.
