Chapter 117: Jin’ling Cuisines

Therefore, under the microblog of Meng Meng, appeared another message asking for the address of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

[Please tell me the address. I’m preparing to go there to eat tomorrow. Or right now. Is it closed now?] from Sound Sleep without Knowing of Dawn. Yes, the ID of Shuxiao was a sentence from a poem, which was easy to remember and free from the concerns of any duplications of the name.

Fans of Meng Meng’s microblog were fairly helpful. Just during the short period when he went to buy instant noodles, somebody had already replied him.

[You seem to be new. It’s another stupid human being that was conquered by Chef Yuan. No. 14 of Taoxi Road. It’s already 11:00 PM, the restaurant is definitely closed now. You could go there tomorrow,] a person with the ID I’m Lei Hong replied Shuxiao below.

[Thank you. It seems I can only eat the instant noodles for my dinner,] from Sound Sleep without Knowing of Dawn.

[As a person who had been eating the instant noodles to fill my stomach for days, I don’t want to say anything. But you can imagine that you were eating the dishes cooked by Boss Yuan,] came the reply of I’m Lei Hong. He seemed to be rich in experiences.

[OK. I’ll try…] from Sound Sleep without Knowing of Dawn.

He played the video and watched Meng Meng doing the broadcast while eating instant noodles. After that, Shuxiao was more determined to go to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant tomorrow.

Early next morning, Shuxiao went to report to Director Qi that he had found a well-reputed restaurant which was said to serve pretty delicious Jin’ling Cuisines.

“I approve 300 RMB for you to go there and have a look. Take the payment slip and go to Xiaoli for the cash.” Director Qi waved his hand and directly said that.

“OK.” Shuxiang agreed, took the slip and then went to Xiaoli.

Shuxiao was actually using public funds for the meal. He enjoyed this kind of benefits very much; besides, it was more meaningful as he was doing it for business.

He went out of the office and directly boarded the bus. As a cautious and meticulous person, Shuxiao had already checked the nearest route last night after he got to know the address, so he could go there straightaway today.

When Shuxiao got there, however, he was a little dumbfounded.

In front of him were towering office buildings. After passing through them, he found several old residential buildings behind. The only advantage of this place might be the peace. While looking for the route, he comforted himself, “The surroundings of the restaurant are probably excellent.”

Located in the middle part of the narrow street, Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was not difficult to be found; therefore, Shuxiao found it soon. However, only after checking the street number several times did he dare to confirm this was the right place. After all, this so-called Yuan Zhou’s restaurant that was highly rated on the internet was actually a tiny restaurant without even a name in reality. It was truly a tiny restaurant with double glass doors that were wiped quite clean.

Shuxiao really wanted to turn around and leave immediately. But when he saw the crowd waiting in line outside the entrance, he became slightly hesitant.

“The businessman is from Jin’ling City. He isn’t used to eating the hot and spicy food here. Go find a restaurant serving genuine Jin’ling dishes. It needn’t be too luxurious. Only one thing, the dishes must be genuine and delicious,” the words of Director Qi still echoed beside Shuxiao’s ears.

Grinding his teeth, Shuxiao nevertheless joined the line and prepared to savor the dishes first before making his decision. The interior surroundings of the restaurant shown in the video appeared nice and the dishes likewise appeared fairly delicious.

Of course, Yuan Zhou didn’t know there was a person who was entangled with these issues in front of the entrance of his restaurant, hence still earnestly continued cooking his dishes.

When it was Shuxiao’s turn, he became totally speechless. Could this restaurant that seemed to be less than 30 square meters really cook the genuine and delicious Jin’ling cuisine? Shuxiao was greatly suspicious of that. However, he didn’t leave immediately. Anyhow, he had waited for almost half an hour for his turn.

Besides, Shuxiao had inquired about the restaurant conveniently when he was waiting in line and chatting with others. He heard it was a much-visited place every day and felt it might indeed have some unique features. Shuxiao believed he had to think that way; otherwise, watching the video last night would be a complete waste of time.

“What do you eat today?” Mu Xiaoyun came over to greet him.

“Ehh… where is the menu?” Shuxiao asked subconsciously.
