Chapter 180 (2/2)
“A plate of Egg Fried Rice,” the man spoke in a low voice and moreover couldn’t help inhaling with a “Si Si” sound.
“Ok, one moment, please,” Yuan Zhou answered with a nod but didn’t start to cook immediately. Instead, he took out a white towel of which the edge was printed with lotus flower patterns from under the countertop.
“Wipe the wounds, otherwise it will affect the taste of the Egg Fried Rice if the blood drip into the plate,” Yuan Zhou handed the towel to the man and said solemnly.
“Ok, got it,” the man answered gently. After that, he received the towel and started to wipe the bloodstains on his face and mouth.
Only then did Yuan Zhou turn around and prepare for the dishes.
Having just entered the restaurant, the couples were waiting for their dishes. Seeing the wounded man, the wife became slightly dissatisfied.
“Honey, how could this person come to eat like that, with so much blood on his face and at the corner of the mouth?” The woman didn’t even dare to look in that direction.
“Never mind. There’s possibly any kind of people,” while firmly holding the woman’s hand, the man tried to comfort her.
“Are the dishes really that delicious?” After the couple waited for an hour outside in the line and, furthermore, encountered such a bloody man while eating, the woman became a little discontented.
“You’ll know the taste after a while,” while smiling, the man didn’t explain much, but just said affirmatively.
“Ok,” the woman leaned her body on her husband and waited quietly for the dishes being served.
In a short while,
“Here are the dishes for you two. Take your time, please,” Mu Xiaoyun helped to carry the dishes ordered by the couples to them and greeted them politely.
Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou personally carried the Egg Fried Rice to the man with wounds all over his face.
“Your Egg Fried Rice,” Yuan Zhou put down the dish and said.
“Thank you,” the man received the plate.
When he carried the plate, his hands slightly trembled. There were bruises all over his hands.
Having set down the Egg Fried Rice steadily, the man took a look at the dish and then said without any clue, “I made it.”
“Um,” after nodding, Yuan Zhou turned around and went to prepare the dishes.
The husband, who had been observing the wounded man on the other side, nevertheless frowned and felt it was a little inexplicable. However, since the delicacies were in front him and this matter was irrelevant to him, he no longer paid any attention to that.
It was as bright as day in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, but the lamplight was mild rather than glaring. On the other side, however, it was quite different.
“You, you and you, come to wipe this place. Where did this handprint come from?” A man dressed in a formal suit was instructing several waiters to do the work.
Just when he was busy, a man rushed to him following with a “Dong Dong Dong” sound and said clearly.
“Manager Gou, I have already finished arranging the main hall. The scentless flowers and unscented napkin papers have also been placed on the table. I can guarantee there’s no other flavor at all over there.”
“Great. The person will arrive in 5 minutes. He is said to be extremely punctual. Our boss had invited him for a long time before he agreed to come.” Manager Gou revealed an earnest look.
“No problem. I have arranged everything. Also the kitchen staffs have made good preparation. Chief Chef Zheng has accumulated much strength,” the man said with a smile.
“Ok, get all these people to leave now,” Manager Gou stood at the door and prepared to welcome the important person by himself.
He couldn’t let these waiters stay as that person would come together with the boss later.
The shop sign outside the door was quite bright, with the several gilding characters of “Lotus Restaurant” written on it. It seemed to be opened not long ago.
“Yanyi, thanks so much for coming. I don’t have to worry about my business anymore with your favorable comments.” Three people were walking towards the restaurant from a distance. The man who led the other two looked to be 40 years old or so. The wealthy-looking mannerism and the way he talked indicated that he was the boss of the restaurant.
A young man, who had a joyous appearance and made people happy upon looking at him, followed another person in silence at the side.
The other person was a middle-aged man. Wearing loose-fitting Tang suit, he appeared even slimmer. His face was cleanly shaved but his expression was, on the contrary, quite serious, appearing to be a reserved man. With the corners of his mouth turned down, he seemed not to be an easy-going person.
The moment he spoke, he made people feel embarrassed, “I won’t really say any flattering words.”
The boss, “….”
