Chapter 89: Misunderstanding Cleared Up

Having finished making the call, Yin Ya said indifferently to Yuan Zhou, “So can you tell me the reason now?”

“Wait a moment. You’ll know after you savour it,” Yuan Zhou still answered in a moderate speed.

“Do you have prejudice against females?” Yin Ya asked with a serious look.

“Of course not. My mum is a woman. I have great respect for females.” Immediately, Yuan Zhou took a stand.

“Are you sure?” Yin Ya asked while pointing at the line of “half a serving per day for females” written at a conspicuous place on the menu.

“Quite sure.” Yuan Zhou nodded affirmatively.

“Ok. I’ll wait for your explanations.” Yin Ya nodded, temporarily letting Yuan Zhou go.

One could not blame Yin Ya for making a fuss. As a female directors’ assistant, she would inevitably bump into various people who discriminate against females. Of course, they were all civilized and wouldn’t say that out verbally but it still could be noticed from their behaviors.

However, Yuan Zhou was a little special in Yin Ya’s heart. He can cook and was good-looking with a sense of maturity, hence he was rather attractive. Besides, she was formerly a regular customer and thus naturally didn’t wish for Yuan Zhou to have such ideals.

During the process, Yuan Zhou made another two deals. Just as usual, he went up to them to promote his Herbal Tea Eggs and failed for both, as expected. The wealthy guy Ling Hong was still eating the chicken feet blissfully and had no time to notice the Herbal Tea Eggs that were emitting a puff of smoke.

It was pleasing to be treated to a meal by somebody, especially by the pretty director assistant, therefore Xiaochen ran quite fast. Even if she had started his lunch, she dropped it without any hesitation.

First, the director assistant was a fairly ingenious post. Next, Yin Ya was a pretty girl, and moreover, an agreeable pretty girl. Finally, it was just Xiaochen’s objective to be able to have meals in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

Due to the extremely high price, it was merely an objective for her temporarily.

“Yin Ya, thank you so much,” Xiaochen said while directly walked to Yin Ya and sitting beside her.

“You are welcome. I have just ordered a dish of chicken feet. Go see which dish you like?” Yin Ya said mildly.

“Ah, there are new dishes. Can I order a new dish?” Xiaochen first looked at the menu and then at Yin Ya.

“Sure, why not?” Yin Ya agreed, nodding and smiling.

“Then give me the Jin’ling Grass and Egg Fried Rice, alright?” Looking at the menu, Xiaochen showed a gentle manner.

“For me, I’d like to order the Clear Broth Noodle Soup and Melt-In-The-Mouth Chicken Feet, one serving for each.” Yin Ya intentionally emphasized on the words “one serving” while looking at Yuan Zhou.

“No problem. Wait a moment, please.” Yuan Zhou nodded and agreed, heading back to prepare the dishes.

Yuan Zhou first prepared the chicken feet and then placed them into the pressure cooker. Only after that did he begin to cook the other dishes.

This pressure cooker could shorten the necessary time from 40 minutes to 10 minutes. That way, Yuan Zhou would have sufficient time to prepare other dishes.

The ten minutes passed by in moderate speed. These jobs did not need any special skills thus Yuan Zhou had completed them rather smoothly. Some culinary skills could be used for presentation; however, the current few dishes required none of those skills.

The Melt-In-The-Mouth Chicken Feet that was carried to Yin Ya was loaded in a rectangular plate with the bluish white base on which begonias were painted. There were a total of 6 chicken feet placed neat and tidy on the plate. They all had a shiny, brownish, red color; the skin was slightly wrinkled; each of them appeared plump, with a well received outer appearance.

The pointed claws at the top of each feet were all neatly trimmed. Although there was no flavoring scattered over the feet, waves of the fragrance, nevertheless, filled her nostrils.

“This new dish looks fairly delicious,” Xiaochen said with a bright smile.
