Chapter 147: Drawing Lottery Mechanism

It was definitely true that liquor made people brave. During normal times, how could Yuan Zhou drink and recite poems?

Early next morning, Yuan Zhou took a small box and came downstairs. There came a sound of “Ping Ping Pang Pang” from the inside. Who knew what exactly was in it?

It was still early, thus Yuan Zhou decided to make Soup Dumplings. There were too many customers who waited to eat Soup Dumplings in the morning every day. Every time he said there wasn’t any, he carried a bold expression. Nevertheless, the sight of those people was rather frightening; it made him tremble slightly with fear.

He kneaded the dough and rolled the dough skins. When Mu Xiaoyun came and saw Yuan Zhou making the Soup Dumplings, she couldn’t help grinning.

“Boss, you are preparing the Soup Dumplings today,”

“Humm,” wearing a mask, Yuan Zhou nodded.

Mu Xiaoyun likewise knew that Yuan Zhou basically didn’t talk while cooking to maintain his utmost concentration. She then picked up the rag and started the wipe the tables and chairs, that were free from any dust and dirt, happily.

While she was wiping, she noticed the new decoration in the restaurant. Inside of the sergestes wall landscape that almost took up the entire wall at her right hand were shrimps that swam slowly, appearing to be more like beautiful pink flower petals rather than only shrimps.

“They are so beautiful. Are they flower petals?” Mu Xiaoyun went up and couldn’t help touching the glass, sighing with emotion.

Standing in front of the wall, Mu Xiaoyun watched the sergestes swimming slowly inside with a dull look. It took her quite a while before she realized. “Are they really the shrimps? So cute.”

The sergestes in the wall were pink. They were originally small in size, however, there were still tinier ones. The color of the tinier ones was a light pink; therefore, the interior of the glass wall was like an attractive ocean of sakura, with the pink and light pink flower petals dancing freely.

Meanwhile, although he wasn’t proficient in the skill of rolling the dough skin with one hand and making the Soup Dumplings with the other, Yuan Zhou nevertheless still used both hands and did the work quickly. It was not long before the Soup Dumplings with 32 fold were obediently sitting in the steamer.

Only when all the Soup Dumplings were moved into the steaming pot and started to be steamed did Yuan Zhou take off the mask and say, “I have a small box here. If anybody orders the Bamboo Liquor today, he can draw a lottery. A red reward means that he can come over here at night to drink the liquor while a white reward means nothing.”

“Boss, you came up with something new again. That’s great,” Mu Xiaoyun only reacted now and said happily.

“Humm, remember that,” Yuan Zhou carefully instructed.

“No problem. What’s that, boss? Is it the shrimp?” Mu Xiaoyun pointed at the sergestes glass wall and asked curiously.

“Yes, shrimp,” Yuan Zhou nodded affirmatively but didn’t intend to explain to her.

Just when Mu Xiaoyun prepared to ask something more, Wu Hai walked into the restaurant with heavy steps.

“Is it open for business today?” With a haggard look, Wu Hai asked fiercely as if he would go up to bite Yuan Zhou if he dared to say no.

“Yes, it’s open for business today. Furthermore, you can eat Soup Dumplings,” Mu Xiaoyun hurriedly went up and greeted him.

Yuan Zhou nodded at the side.

“That’s really awesome. I want both Soup Dumplings and Egg Fried Rice Set,” immediately Wu Hai revealed a ferocious smiling face and said.

“The usual rule applies, no Egg Fried Rice, only Soup Dumplings,” Yuan Zhou totally disregarded the frightening expression of Wu Hai and said calmly.

“I can’t eat my fill with only one Soup Dumpling. You know, I haven’t eaten anything for two full days,” Wu Hai slumped in the chair and said with a firm look.

“Well, you can order the Clear Broth Noodle Soup,” after thinking for a while, Yuan Zhou remembered there were still some noodles left in the preservation tank, and hence said affirmatively.

“Fantastic. Clear Broth Noodle Soup, Clear Broth Noodle Soup Set and a Soup Dumpling,” Wu Hai straightened his back up and ordered three dishes in one go.

“Wait a moment,” Yuan Zhou first carried the Soup Dumpling to him.

Wu Hai didn’t actually like eating Soup Dumplings with vinegar. Yuan Zhou also knew that, so he didn’t ask Wu Hai anymore.

Following that, all they could hear was Wu Hai inhaling in various ways. After sucking the soup with sound of “Si”, he continued to eat without stopping. In just a moment, he had already eaten up the Soup Dumpling.

“Finally I survived,” Wu Hai patted his chest and heaved a sigh.
