Chapter 191 (2/2)

“You said yesterday that this was a clip joint and you would never come again.” While speaking of that, Mu Xiaoyun was still of grievance.

“Little girl, you must have misheard my words,” Lee Yanyi denied bluntly. Seeing Mu Xiaoyun intend to say something more, he immediately continued to talk, “I don’t want to talk with a person who can’t even afford a meal.”

It was truly a critical strike to her. Instantly, Mu Xiaoyun was rendered speechless and didn’t know what to answer.

It was indeed as he said. Recently, Mu Xiaoyun had frequently drooled while smelling the fragrance of the delicacies, secretly of course. As a thin-skinned little girl, she would still feel bashful.

“Never mind. Let me treat you to a bowl of Lotus Root Starch,” Wu Hai suddenly uttered.

“Thank you, Uncle Wu. But it’s not necessary. I will be able to come to eat soon,” Mu Xiaoyun said with a blush on her face.

“You are welcome,” Wu Hai didn’t insist when he saw Mu Xiaoyun refuse his proposal.

Lee Yanyi cared little about that. While walking out of the restaurant with vigorous strides, he thought rascally, “I come today and will come tomorrow. I’m rich and hence capricious.”

Consequently, Lee Yanyi came as long as he had time. With the thought that he would never come again after he had savored all the new dishes here, he started to try every dish of the restaurant slowly.

“Talented culinary skills, but inapt EQ,” at last, Lee Yanyi concluded his remarks about Yuan Zhou.

As for the thing of EQ, Lee Yanyi was probably unqualified to comment Yuan Zhou. He was no better than Yuan Zhou at all.

Last time, the boss of Lotus Restaurant almost fainted when he saw Lee Yanyi’s remarks. On the first opening day, he always felt that the customers were less than expected and the number couldn’t compare with those of other restaurants, not knowing if it was his own psychological effect or if Lee Yanyi’s comments had taken effect.

Only after more than half a month until now did the boss finally witness the power of Lee Yanyi’s remarks. Public praise turned out to be both an intangible and visible publicity. Due to Lee Yanyi’s unfavorable remarks, not one of the Gourmet Reviewer had recommended his restaurant. Therefore, his business had been affected to some extent.

“This stupid stubborn fellow, Yan Viper. He’s so vicious,” standing upstairs, the boss looked at the sparse customers below in the main hall worriedly and scolded Lee Yanyi bitterly, not revealing any manner of a big boss.

The slang of “Whoever got benefits from others should speak highly of them” didn’t apply to Lee Yanyi at all.

Luckily, it was not so exaggerated as to lose income by a decent percentage. Otherwise, he would probably go to battle with Lee Yanyi. Manager Gou, who was counting the business downstairs, thought that with a headache.

For the past more than half a month, Lee Yanyi had not accepted any other restaurant’s invitation to go and savor their dishes until his assistant called him.

“Professor, are you busy now?” The voice of Yan Jia came from the other end of the phone.

“What’s the matter?” Lee Yanyi was eating the last bite of a dish and only spoke after swallowing it and savoring the aftertaste for a while.

It lasted at least two minutes. Yan Jia, nevertheless, just waited for him and didn’t urge him at all.

This was just the temperament of Lee Yanyi. Answering the phone meant that he would talk with you. With the pause like that, he was either savoring tasty dishes or having some important affairs. He answering the phone at that time indicated that they must have an intimate relationship.

“At noon tomorrow, we need to go to Caihe Restaurant to savor their dishes, which you have promised to go one month ago. I’m going to pick you up at 10:30 in the morning. What do you think?” Yan Jia told him briefly and to the point.

“Humm, got it,” Lee Yanyi answered.

“The menu will be sent to you immediately,” Yan Jia sent the menu to him while speaking.

Eight hot dishes and six cold dishes with three servings of soup and five servings of snacks, all with simple names.

Creamed Asparagus Stir-fried with Beef and Rice Chilli, Coffee Yogurt and Hot Watermelon and Pitaya. Lee Yanyi immediately got irritated with the weird names.

“I simply don’t know what they are talking about. They bring forth new ideas without logic and don’t even have better names.” Having complained for a while, he went out of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.
