Chapter 189: Best Combination of Vegetables

After he drank a gulp of soup, a blast of refreshing flavor instantly swept across his throat. It couldn’t be a better time to eat the pickled radish.

“Ka Ca,” the crispness of the pickled radish along with the delicious taste of the Seaweed Soup formed a wonderful experience. The two different flavors merged into each other and yet, remained independent.

“Nice,” Rarely did Lee Yanyi utter a word during meals. Moreover it was a compliment.

Twenty minutes later, Lee Yanyi had eaten half of the Egg Fried Rice dish and all side dishes, Seaweed Soup and Pickled Radishes. As for the Phoenix-Tail Prawns, there was only one prawn left and the untouched matching dish.

He touched his belly and felt he was fairly full, hence couldn’t eat anymore.

“Truly fantastic skills.” Lee Yanyi was quite satisfied with this trip of looking for delicacies this time.

He let out a sigh contentedly and revealed a satisfied expression on his skinny face.

With a soft sound of “Peng”, Lee Yanyi set the chopsticks down and then stood up, preparing to leave.

When he walked to the entrance in a few steps, Yuan Zhou suddenly began to speak.

“Excuse me, are you leaving?” Yuan Zhou asked politely and alertly.

“Why? Didn’t I pay you?” Lee Yanyi had never been an aged man who spoke in a polite way. Otherwise he wouldn’t have the nickname of Yan Viper.

“Yes, you have paid me. But you’d better read the rules on the wall now. If you leave now, I would have to do as the rules tell me,” Yuan Zhou took no notice of the bad temper of the aged man. He just signaled him to look at the wall with his usual indifferent tone.

“What rules?” Lee Yanyi only ordered the dishes and didn’t actually notice those messy words.

In his opinion, what were usually written on the wall were either caring words to ingratiate the customers or some witty remarks to amuse them. There was no need to read them.

Now that he was requested by the chef, Lee Yanyi would for sure like to check.

The key point was because Yuan Zhou’s skills were pretty good.

“What does the word ‘blacklist’ mean?” Lee Yanyi asked with a solemn expression.

“It means he will never be admitted into my restaurant. There has only one customer blacklisted so far since the restaurant was opened,” Yuan Zhou answered politely whenever asked, which was nevertheless not liked by Lee Yanyi.

“If this old man does not finish the dishes, are you preparing to prevent me from coming to eat again?” Lee Yan felt this rule was quite unreasonable. Until now, there had been no one who refused him yet. Instead, it was him who always refused others.

“I’ll do as what the rule says,” Yuan Zhou said with a quite serious manner.

“If I want to eat here, I would like to see how you are going to stop me,” Lee Yanyi said rascally.

“I’m the chef and I cook,” Yuan Zhou directly hit the nail on the head.

That’s true. If he didn’t want to cook, Lee Yanyi naturally couldn’t think of other solutions in a short time. It had to be known that even if he had a meal in Huong River Michelin Restaurant, he likewise couldn’t finish all the dishes.

His slogan was just that eating was for filling the stomach while savoring delicacies was only for trying the taste. Eating a little of those dishes was sufficient for that purpose.

Lee Yanyi, who had always been flattered by other people despite his ever odd temperament, started to talk and swear, “Why the hell does this store have such an inexplicable rule? It has really widened my knowledge.”

He stayed put for quite a while and eventually returned to his position while swearing. It seemed that he intended to finish the remaining dishes.

Seeing him do so, Yuan Zhou then turned around and went to prepare other dishes. It was still fairly busy at the end of the opening hours.

“I won’t come again next time. It’s really a clip joint.”

Before he ate again, he even defined Yuan Zhou’s restaurant as a clip joint indignantly. Only after that did he begin to eat unwillingly. He was not the kind of person who had never been scolded before and would then think Yuan Zhou was special once he scolded him. After all, he was not a masochist.

He mumbled and spluttered something randomly in his mouth and revealed a discontented look. His actions, nevertheless, were quick. Lee Yanyi was very proud of his fondness for delicacies.
