Chapter 173: Matter of Taste
“There are only 5 minutes left before business hours ends.” Yuan Zhou now knew the purpose of Chen Wei’s shout along with the questions that he had asked previously.
“Yeah, so I can still order the dish.” a smile emerged on the face of Chen Wei.
“You want to eat it with the liquor?” Yuan Zhou revealed Chen Wei’s purpose without reserve.
“I didn’t break Boss Yuan’s rules,” with a grin, Chen Wei directly showed his white teeth.
“Tsk-tsk, it’s so dazzling,” suddenly, Yuan Zhou said in disgust.
“Boss Yuan, what’s happened to you just now?” Chen Wei said in disbelief.
It was known that although Yuan Zhou had a surname of Compass and stubbornly stuck to his rules, he nevertheless always showed enough politeness to the customers. Such obvious disgust had never happened.
“It’s your misconception. A serving of Silk Twined Rabbit, right?” Yuan Zhou said primly.
“Really? But I indeed saw Boss Yuan you…” he was then interrupted by Yuan Zhou before he finished speaking.
“There are only 4 minutes left now. The business hours will end very soon,” Yuan Zhou’s tone was calm and composed.
“Yes, right. One serving of Silk Twined Rabbit,” immediately, Chen Wei changed the topic and confirmed the dish he ordered. For him, only the good liquor and nice dishes mattered.
“Ok. Please come at the same period of the day on the day after tomorrow. Payment first, please,” Yuan Zhou then answered.
“Ok, at once. I’ll make the transfer,” Chen Wei had already gotten Yuan Zhou’s online bank account previously.
“Thank you, goodbye,” Yuan Zhou checked the notification message on his phone and then started to drive other customers out decisively.
“Wait, I haven’t ordered my dish,” at that time, Wu Hai, who thought himself as quick-witted, also reacted and immediately uttered.
“Sorry, dish ordering is not available now.” Yuan Zhou pointed at the time, indicating the business hours had ended.
“This cunning Chen Wei didn’t tell us about the good thing,” Wu Hai was so angry that even the two tufts of his mustache tilted up. He was quite dissatisfied.
“Business hours have ended. Please come earlier next time.” After Yuan Zhou uttered the final words, other customers waiting in line outside then gradually left.
On the other hand, Wu Hai just walked away in quick steps with a “Da Da Da” sound while wearing slippers. Judging by his manner, he seemed to be going to pick on Chen Wei, for which Yuan Zhou was rather happy to see it happen.
“Boss, did you really say something just now?” After all the customers left, Mu Xiaoyun asked curiously.
“No, it’s your misconception,” Yuan Zhou said with a firm look.
“Well, ok,” Mu Xiaoyun didn’t see what happened, but she indeed heard something. However, since his boss had said no, it was probably true. While walking out, Mu Xiaoyun thought with uncertainty.
“Humm, be careful on your way back home,” Yuan Zhou nodded solemnly.
“Ok, bye, boss,” Mu Xiaoyun left after answering him.
In the evening, Yuan Zhou cooked a bowl of Clear Broth Noodle as usual. Having eaten up the noodles, he prepared to carry the remaining broth to the mixed fur Maltese to drink.
“Zhi Ya”, he opened the back door and walked out while carrying the bowl.
The alley at the back door was still as quiet as before. The bright moonlight shining on the blue flagstone ground made the atmosphere seem more quiet and colder.
“Da Da Da”, hearing his own footsteps, Yuan Zhou walked to the trash can at the end of the alley in a few minutes. Beside the trash can, the mixed fur Maltese was still lying prone on a plastic bag.
However, the living conditions now were much better. A pink piece of worn clothing that was abandoned by a girl and seemed quite thick, was unfolded beneath the dog. Beside it were two bowls, with one that seemed to be for drinking water and the other dry bowl for food. Furthermore, there was, surprisingly, some brown dog food in the dry bowl.
“You little thing really have a good life,” after taking a look, Yuan Zhou poured the broth into the wet bowl for drinking water.
