Chapter 118 (2/2)
“Director Qi, the menu is on the wall behind,” Having been here for several times, Shuxiao easily resolved the embarrassment of Mu Xiaoyun.
“Boss Guan, then let’s check the menu behind us and order some dishes to savor, shall we?” Taking no notice of Shuxiao, Director Qi said to Boss Guan.
“Humm, let me have a look what delicacies there are here,” there was slight dissatisfaction in Boss Guan’s manner of speaking.
“It’s indeed a superior restaurant. Those prices are also fairly amazing.” Upon seeing the prices, Boss Guan got a little surprised. The top-grade dishes in his hotels were served at similar prices to those written on the wall of the small restaurant; of course, there were some dishes that were more expensive but those were made from the most precious ingredients.
Right over here, however, were only some commonly eaten dishes. As for the rules beside the menu, he certainly took them in, too.
“The boss indeed has some temper,” Boss Guan said ironically.
“Then provide me with three servings of Jin’ling Grass and one serving of Egg Fried Rice.” the wealthy Boss Guan didn’t care about the price. Now that he couldn’t leave immediately, he might as well savor the dishes.
“I just want to eat some noodles which I haven’t tasted for a long time and two more dishes, Phoenix-Tail Prawns, and Jin’ling Grass,” Director Qi said to Boss Guan with a smile.
When Shuxiao found the two people had almost finished ordering, he followed, “Egg Fried Rice Set and Melt-In-The-Mouth Chicken Feet.”
After ordering, he said while smiling, “The dish Melt-In-The-Mouth Chicken Feet is said to be very delicious.”
“Oh, then eat it to your heart’s content,” Director Qi answered him with a forced laugh.
“True. Look, the rules also regulate that wasting is not allowed.” Boss Guan also said in a seemingly caring manner.
However stupid Shuxiao was, he also found the odd attitude of the other two people. A nervous expression flashed across his face. When he thought of Boss Yuan’s culinary skills, however, he nevertheless became relieved. As long as the other two were conquered by the dishes, everything would be fine.
Something necessary still needed to be done. Shuxiao meticulously whispered at the ear of Director Qi,” Director, this Boss Yuan is a perfect chef and has once triumphed over Chef Yu in World Foodie Hotel. Look, the restaurant is small but very clean.”
Seated upright, Director Qi reacted as if he hadn’t heard Shuxiao. Nevertheless, when he talked to Boss Guan, he likewise told him about the advantages of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. As a government official, he didn’t want his subordinate to know that he thought little of him.
Fortunately, when Director Qi tried his best to relax the awkward atmosphere and Boss Guan perfunctorily replied, Yuan Zhou and Mu Xiaoyun carried their dishes to them.
“Dishes for what you have ordered. Please enjoy.” One of Yuan Zhou’s principles of treating his customers was to be consistently polite. As for the smiling face, Mu Xiaoyun was now responsible for that.
This time, the courteous Director Qi said nothing. He only wanted to let Boss Guan eat up the dishes now to dispel the misunderstanding, although he didn’t really know either if the dishes were really that delicious.
“Come on, Brother Guan, let’s taste the dishes cooked by this Chef Yuan.” Director Qi personally handed the chopsticks to him while smiling.
“No problem. Let’s taste them together.” Boss Guan received the chopsticks politely and looked at the dishes that he had ordered.
What came into his view first was the Golden Egg Fried Rice. If it glistened, it would have been like the embellished photo of those delicacies which didn’t even appear to look like the real Egg Fried Rice dish. The Jin’ling Grass dish was even more exaggerated. With its verdant jade-like appearance, it was nearly identical to a work of art. However, it looked to be uncooked.
The most eye-appealing dish was the Phoenix-Tail Prawns which made Boss Guan begin to believe this was really a well-hidden restaurant.
Because even the national top-grade chef in his own hotel wasn’t able to cook this dish so attractive. Of course, the taste could only be known after savoring it, but just from its appearance, it deserved a taste.
With the “Ba Ji, Ba Ji” sound, Shuxiao had started to eat on the other side. In front of delicate cuisines, no other things mattered, including his superior Director Qi.
At that time, Boss Guan picked up the chopsticks and prepared to savor his dishes while Director Qi also started to test the dishes he had ordered hesitantly. Dishes first, of course. As for the watery and tasteless noodle soup, he would rather eat it later.
