Chapter 99: Fame Increase Urgently Needed

“OK. One moment, please.” acknowledging her request, Yuan Zhou went to the kitchen and began to prepare the ingredients.

“Boss Yuan, your movements are becoming more and more handsome every day.” while holding the head in both hands, Man Man looked carefully at the prawns peeled cautiously by Yuan Zhou with a look of admiration.

“I can’t speak for his handsomeness, but in all seriousness, the food’s truly delicious.” Wu Hai said as he left.

“Humm, prawns are my favorite, but are those garnishes also delicious too?” Man Man asked curiously.

“They’re great. You’ll know after you taste them.” Wu Hai said cryptically.

“Apart from keeping people in suspense, have you learned nothing from Boss Yuan?” Man Man couldn’t help but ridicule him.

“Ha Ha, little girls are so funny to talk to.” he laughed and waved his hands before walking out of the restaurant.

During the conversation between Man Man and Wu Hai, Yuan Zhou finished cooking the Phoenix-Tail Prawns and carried the dish out to her, “Your Phoenix-Tail Prawns.”

Without taking off the mask, Yuan Zhou continued saying, “Why are you so generous today?”

“Of course. I got a big order today. The dish is a kind of celebration to me.” Man Man said with a complacent tone.

“Do you wanna eat anything else then? How about an Herbal Tea Egg?” Yuan Zhou asked earnestly.

“Ho Ho. Boss Yuan, you must be joking.” Man Man gave him a hollow laugh, pretending she didn’t hear anything, and then started eating the prawns without any hesitation.

Sitting at the side, Zhao Yingjun carried the bowl up to his mouth and drank all the remaining broth. He couldn’t help heaving a sigh.

“I feel that I have changed my entire point of view towards noodles.” touching his bloated belly, Zhao Yingjun said in satisfaction.

He looked around but didn’t see Wu Zhou, and so asked, “Where did Wu Zhou go?”

“He left.” Yuan Zhou answered.

“I think I remember him saying he’ll go out and wait for me just now,” after scratching his head, Zhao Yingjun stood up and turned around preparing to leave. It wasn’t until he’d almost reached the entrance that he realized he’d forgotten something. He turned and said to Yuan Zhou, “Thank you, Boss Yuan.”

Yuan Zhou’s response was merely a nod, indicating he had received the gratitude.

After raising his wrist and checking the time, Yuan Zhou began the daily announcement, “Business hours are almost over. Anyone still without a seat please comes back next time.”

Once he said that, many shouts and complaints were heard. However, they were only complaints about the short business hours and at most requests to lengthen the opening times. Which one of them did not know of Yuan Zhou’s nickname of “Compass”, and that he would never compromise even a single inch?

“Lucky I moved quickly.” while blissfully eating the Phoenix-Tail Prawns, Man Man patted on her chest thankfully. She suddenly felt the Phoenix-Tail Prawns in her mouth became more appetizing.

Man Man was a girl, and moreover a girl who could cook cakes. She always succumbed to beautiful things, especially towards the carved flowers that looked every bit the same as real ones. Even if they were inedible, she would still probably give them a try. Now that they actually were edible, she would definitely be the first to taste them.

Thus the sigh just now was simply because she’d tasted the flavor of the garnishes. She felt as if she had swallowed a real flower with a sweet aroma and refreshing flavor. It was truly a fantastic experience.

In the end, Man Man began to eat the Phoenix-Tail Prawns only after she finished eating the decorative sculpted flowers. Her theory was, “Save the best for last. Only that way can it be enjoyed to its fullest.”

“Prawns worth more than 1000 RMB are truly remarkable.” at last, Man Man touched her belly and said in fond reminiscence.

“Yes. Time is up.” Yuan Zhou started to expel the customers, lacking any sense of romance.

“I know, I know. Compass, right?” paying little attention to Yuan Zhou’s words, she leisurely walked out of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

“Don’t be late in the evening.” Yuan Zhou nodded to Mu Xiaoyun, signaling she could leave now.

“I won’t, boss.” Mu Xiaoyun nodded earnestly and likewise left the restaurant.

Looking at Mu Xiaoyun turn the corner, Yuan Zhou shut the door and prepared to go upstairs to rest.

At this time, the system finally appeared again after a long time of silence.
