Chapter 153: Rice Gruel and Porridge
“Take it away,” Fang Heng handed it to Zheng Jiawei in a disgusted manner.
“Thank you,” Zheng Jiawei thanked him with a smile and prepared to leave after he received the lunch box.
“Wait. Are the dishes of that restaurant really so delicious?” Fang Heng asked cautiously.
“What, are you curious?” Looking at Feng Heng, Zheng Jiawei teased him.
“Yes, I’m just asking,” Fang Heng frankly admitted.
“They are truly delicious. At least Wu Hai is quite satisfied with them. He has taken that place as his canteen by now.” Speaking of this, Zheng Jiawei felt both angry and funny.
“Ok, got it. You can leave now, bye bye.” After hesitating for an instant, Fang Heng started to see his customers off.
“On this point, you are so alike to Wu Hai, always burning the bridge after crossing it,” Zheng Jiawei complained before getting back to Wu Hai and then leaving.

“Boss Yuan, since the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine can also include liquor making, I want a bowl of plain porridge,” during the opening hours in the evening, a customer said that.
“Porridge doesn’t fall under the 100 Style of Rice Cuisines. Please change to another one,” Yuan Zhou answered earnestly.
“Well, fine. Then give me white rice and a serving of Jin’ling Grass.” Finally, the customer selected plain white rice.
Shortly afterwards, Yuan Zhou carried the dishes ordered to him and set the dishes down on the table, saying politely, “Please help yourself.”
“Boss Yuan, I’m here again. What about taking a guess what I’m gonna order today?” Dressed in the white shirt and jeans, Jiang Changxi looked as youthful as a university student. She did not seem like a “Three-Lost” woman at all.
“Not guessing,” Yuan Zhou refused squarely.
Since she had eaten the Black Sugar Rice Cake last time, Jiang Changxi had fallen in love with the dish and thought of various rare dishes under the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine for Yuan Zhou to cook for her.
She came here once every day and ordered the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine every time. They were strange and eccentric, such as Fried Rice Pancake, Rice Cracker and Multilayer Rice Cake, etc. Her selection was too numerous to mention all of them. With this established habit, Yuan Zhou naturally knew what she would order today without even guessing, but he didn’t want to answer her.
“Sigh. Boss Yuan, did you use too much of your energy last night? You can’t even give such an obvious answer,” she looked at Yuan Zhou with a regrettable look.
The reason why Yuan Zhou did not guess was also because of her manner of speech. This woman always said some inexplicable things every time she came.
“What do you eat?” Facing Jiang Changxi, Yuan Zhou brought out a solemn expression.
“Boss Yuan, you really scare me that way. Please, be tender with me. Then I will tell you.” Jiang Changxi never missed any opportunity to tease Yuan Zhou.
“Hi, Sir. What would you like to eat?” Yuan Zhou directly disregarded her boring request and enquired the customer behind her.
“Fine, fine. I won’t take advantage of you anymore. I want porridge.” With a smile, Jiang Changxi ordered the most ordinary 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine.
“Porridge isn’t under the 100 Style of Rice Cuisines.” Yuan Zhou’s face revealed slightly complacent expression; it was almost unnoticeable.
“Why is it not considered? Porridge requires no more than rice and water, without any other ingredients.” Jiang Changxi was a little astonished.
“Porridge isn’t under the 100 Style of Rice Cuisines. Please order again,” Yuan Zhou didn’t mean to explain anything to her.
“Good. You don’t want to cook it, huh? You wait, let me search for something,” while speaking, she sat down and took out her phone to search through Baidu.
Having ignored Jiang Changxi for that moment, Yuan Zhou looked towards the customer waiting behind her with an enquiring look.
“Boss, just serve him the Egg Fried Rice Set,” Mu Xiaoyun said in time at the side.
“One moment.” Yuan Zhou turned around and went back to the kitchen.
The slender and beautiful fingers of Jiang Changxi slid swiftly across the phone screen. Just in a little while, she got what she longed for.
