Chapter 95 (2/2)
Upon watching the envious and expectant remarks under his status, Wu Min was satisfied. Then he began to eat the Clear Broth Noodle Soup.
“Boss Yuan’s culinary skills are still so excellent.” after swallowing a mouthful of noodle soup, he sighed with emotion.
Thanks to Wu Min’s Wechat post, the business of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant didn’t go down too much during the rainy day. In addition to customers who came from different places to watch the fun, there appeared several new customers.
Of course, these customers gave a much higher score to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant because of the free towel.
In the next morning, the first utterance of Mu Xiaoyun was, “Thank you for not having me come in the rain yesterday, Boss.”
“No need.” Yuan Zhou didn’t feel anything extraordinary, thus he said fairly earnestly.
After that, Mu Xiaoyun no longer spoke, and just began working devotedly. She also became more enthusiastic when greeting the customers.
“Wu Zhou, you ought to treat us to a meal today. Such a serious bug was solved by you alone. You must have gotten a good reward, haven’t you?” the man who had once treated Wu Zhou to eat kebabs had a handsome appearance and a characteristic name, YingJun (meaning handsome in Chinese), Zhao Yingjun. He embraced Yuan Zhou’s shoulders and ridiculed.
“Alright, no problem. Let me treat you to some Clear Broth Noodle Soup.” without hesitation, Wu Zhou agreed squarely.
“I have never expected you are so mean. Want to satisfy me with only a bowl of Clear Broth Noodle Soup?” Zhao Yingjun beat on Wu Zhou’s shoulder with his fist, unhappily.
“You say I’m mean? Come on, man. The Clear Broth Noodle Soup is worth 268 RMB for one bowl. Moreover, we have to wait in line before we could eat it.” Wu Zhou took Zhao Yingjun’s hand down from his shoulder grouchily.
“Are you out of your mind? A simple Clear Broth Noodle Soup worth of 268 RMB?” Zhao Yingjun felt this guy must be cheating him. It was not likely to be a star hotel.
“Is it a star hotel? Are you going to the star hotel with that little reward you have gotten?” Suddenly Zhao Yingjun asked in surprise.
“You think more than necessary. It was just a small restaurant nearby. However, the dishes are truly delicious.” thinking of the clear but yummy broth and the quite chewy noodles, Wu Zhou couldn’t help salivating from his mouth.
“I don’t like eating noodles. You know that.” seeing the expectant manner on Wu Zhou’s face, Zhao Yingjun almost got convinced. He had to remind him.
“Never mind. Let me take you there for a taste of the genuinely delicious noodles. Are you going with me?” Wu Zhou paid little attention to Zhao Yingjun’s disbelieving manner. Then he waved his big hands and said generously.
“Are you sure? Only treat me to eat this?” Wu Zhou was the best friend of Zhao Yingjun in the company. Seeing Wu Zhou say those tempting words, he also got a little curious in the heart.
“Just answer me if you wanna go or not. If we go late, we’ll have not enough time to have lunch.” Wu Zhou asked matter-of-factly while dragging Zhao Yingjun.
“Yes, I go. I decide to care about your feeling and go since you offer to treat.” Although reluctant, Zhao Yingjun eventually agreed. Nevertheless, he still showed no expectancy to the noodle soup, because he indeed didn’t like to eat noodles.
Since they got off work, Wu Zhou had been urging Zhao Yingjun to hurry up as if he were anxious to go somewhere important rather than just having lunch. He stopped urging and calmed down when they finally got close to the restaurant.
“There are a pretty good number of customers here.” looking at the long line, Zhao Yingjun said.
“We arrived early today. There are only 11 customers ahead of us. We’ll get our turn soon once we join the line.” while speaking, Wu Zhou dragged Zhao Yingjun to walked up.
It was none other than the leisurely small-mustached Wu Hai that was ahead of them in line. Upon seeing a familiar person lining up behind him, he opened the mouth immediately and said, “Wu Zhou, you’ve arrived. Why is it a different guy that accompanys you today?”
He then made a signal with his lips in the direction of Zhao Yingjun.
“This is my colleague, whom I’m treating to noodles today.” Wu Zhou answered proudly.
Previously, Wu Hai often spoke sarcastically of him, saying he only had his girlfriend in his heart and had no room left for the rest of humanity. Thus, Wu Zhou specially emphasized that he offered to treat today.
“Your bonuses must have been paid out today, right?” Wu Hai went straight to the point.
“Yes. Still, I’m offering to treat my colleague.” Wu Zhou reacted quickly.
“It’s because of the bonuses.” Wu Hai continued to talk cynically.
“Is it our turn now?” Zhao Yingjun broke in all of a sudden.
Bantering without any regard for the time, the three had already arrived at their turn to enter….
