Chapter 209: Main Mission
The father placed three pieces of the beef into the boy’s bowl and the boy just received them with a smile.
Yuan Zhou had thought there might be a show of the two people modestly declining the beef, but on the contrary, the small boy just received the beef quietly with a smile.
“Dad, you can eat the last piece of the beef for a taste. Uncle Boss cooks the beef pretty good and, moreover, there’s a lot,” the small boy said that when he saw there was only one piece left in his father’s bowl.
“Alright. I will eat the remaining beef,” the father agreed with a smile.
While the father and son were eating the noodles quietly, the boy didn’t put the beef back into his father’s bowl. Although his father couldn’t see things, he still had other senses and could perceive things. After careful observation, Yuan Zhou found the beef appeared again in the bottom of the father’s bowl when he almost finished the meal. There were exactly 3 pieces, neither more nor less. The beef that had been in the boy’s bowl just now, however, was gone.
“So that’s it,” Yuan Zhou looked at the boss who was chatting smilingly with others at the side and then stood up.
“Take care. Welcome back next time,” the boss turned the head and greeted him with some words.
“Ok. Boss, the Beef Noodle Soup is really delicious,” Yuan Zhou answered with a nod and said that.
“Of course. Good-bye,” the boss received Yuan Zhou’s gratitude immodestly.
Having walked out of the restaurant, Yuan Zhou took up the phone and sent a message to Yin Ya through the microblog.
[The Beef Noodle Soup recommended by you is really appetizing. Thank you.] from I’m Boss Yuan.
No answer came from that side. Yin Ya was probably busy with her work.
Yuan Zhou then got a cab and returned to his restaurant soon. As there was only less than half an hour before the business time arrived, he didn’t shut the door this time.
Shortly after that, Wu Hai came again and asked with a grudging manner. “Of the three days that you promised me, you only taught me for two days. What about the remaining one day?”
“Say it normally,” Yuan Zhou felt uncomfortable with Wu Hai’s sorrowful gaze.
“When are you going to teach me for the last day?” Wu Hai appeared a little worried while stroking his small mustache.
“Are you leaving soon?” Yuan Zhou asked with puzzlement.
“Very soon. In just a few days,” Wu Hai nodded the head.
“Then this afternoon and the next afternoon can add up to one day,” Yuan Zhou checked the time and said that.
“Good,” Wu Hai agreed squarely and then started to look at Yuan Zhou up and down.
“Yes?” Yuan Zhou stayed put despite Wu Hai’s careful observation.
“Look at this miserable person. Isn’t there a serving of the liquor for me tonight? I know there’s still one left,” Wu Hai said while pointing at the box for the lottery.
“No, you have drawn the lottery once and used up your opportunity,” Yuan Zhou refused him squarely.
“Compass!” Wu Hai said indignantly.
Yuan Zhou straightforwardly disregarded his answer as if he hadn’t heard him. Not until Wu Hai finished murmuring did he ask, “Have you practiced the vegetable dish?”
“Of course. There’s one plate of the dish in the kitchen right now. Do you want to have a taste?” Speaking of his masterpiece, Wu Hai was immediately attracted to another topic.
“Not necessary. You can just carry it downstairs for me to have a look.” Once Yuan Zhou thought of the dyestuff, he got an ache in the stomach.
“No problem. You help to check if there’s any problem with the dish,” after a nod, Wu Hai went back to his art studio to carry the dish downstairs while wearing a pair of slippers that emitted a sound of “Da Da Da”.
After Wu Hai had just gone, a man walked into Yuan Zhou’s restaurant firmly.
“You are the boss, aren’t you? Can I draw the lottery now?” The man said with a fairly clear-cut purpose.
“It’s not business hours now,” Yuan Zhou raised the head and looked at the man.
