Chapter 179 (2/2)

“One sesame seed cake.” The instant Yuan Zhou finished speaking, Wu Hai immediately stated his order.

“One moment.”

Then, other customers came to realize the situation and hurriedly ordered the single cake.

By then, Wu Hai had already received his cake and started to eat it.

As a painter, Wu Hai’s behavior sometimes would imitate those artists. For example, now. Though he had chopsticks in his hand, Wu Hai, nevertheless, preferred to eat it while holding it with his hand.

While taking the sesame seed cake with one hand, he subconsciously put the other below his chin, preparing to catch the sesame seeds and crumbs of the cake which might fall.

All those who received the sesame seed cake basically made this gesture subconsciously.

The girls ate in a more cultured way. They all prepared napkin tissues and placed them on the table. On the contrary, men were eating without a care. They either used the plate or their hands, preparing to catch the crumbs like Wu Hai.

It was a common sense that this kind of multi-layer sesame seed cakes would produce crumbs while being eaten.

However, they soon realized that common sense didn’t apply to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

For the Duck Oil Sesame Seed Cake made by Yuan Zhou, every bite on the cake skin emitted a sound of “Ca Ca”. The inside was on the contrary soft, with distinct layers that were giving off visible slight steam.

What’s more, the bitten part was neat and no crumbs fell from the cake. Even the sesame seeds remained on the surface without falling at all. After chewing, the cake didn’t stick to the teeth at all. They just swallowed a full mouthful of fragrance.

While these few customers were eating in the restaurant, others outside were nevertheless waiting for the seats anxiously. When they smelled the fragrance, they became far more anxious.

“How tempting this fragrance is! I can even smell the taste of the chopped spring onions,” after gulping down his saliva, a customer in line craned his neck and said while watching.

“Stop speaking, please. My belly is growling.” However, another person acted quite differently. He just stood still and never looked at those who were eating.

“Sorry, I’m too anxious.” The man stood upright and smiled in embarrassment.

“We are all anxious to eat it. There’re only a few people ahead by now and we can get our turn soon.” This person didn’t even know if he was comforting himself or others.

Wu Hai, who had finished his meal by then, just stood at the side and didn’t leave while counting something in low voice.

In a little while, Yuan Zhou announced, “The 100 sesame seed cakes for today have been sold out. Everybody, please go back now and come earlier next time.”

“Jesus. I have been waiting here and smelling the fragrance for half a day. Even my saliva flowed to the ground,” the one that didn’t get his turn said that, feeling rather speechless.

Seeing the scene, the hawkers wittily started to shout for their business.

“Fragrant Steamed Meat Stuffed Buns, as well as vegetable stuffed buns.”

Those who couldn’t endure the hunger turned around and went to buy the steamed buns. It was not a weekend and they still had to work soon.

“Wait, Boss Yuan. I find every time you say 100, there’s a shortage in the quantity. What’s the matter?” Wu Hai stood out and said with certainty.

Wu Hai’s words drew attention of the customers who hadn’t left

“Hum, a total of 96 sesame seed cakes,” Yuan Zhou answered quite frankly.

“Then where are the remaining four cakes?” Wu Hai asked in surprise.

“I ate it,” Yuan Zhou said even more earnestly.

“Boss Yuan, how can you feed yourself with the snack that belongs to us? This is absolutely a horrible habit,” Wu Hai was first astounded and then he said painfully while pointing at Yuan Zhou.

“I made them,” Yuan Zhou didn’t really understand Wu Hai’s thought. He said seriously with a long face.

“You can’t count the snacks eaten by you into the 100,” Wu Hai thought for a while and changed his way of saying that.

“No way. This is the rule. You know, I’m a person who strictly adheres to rules and furthermore, has a good-looking face,” Yuan Zhou was always very serious every time he spoke of the rules.

As soon as he spoke that, the customers including Wu Hai became speechless. They had experienced many times how difficult it was to get Yuan Zhou to change his rules…
