Chapter 246: Yuan Zhou’s Little Hobby (Third)

“No.” Yuan Zhou answered subconsciously.

“Boss Yuan, I have a reason to ask that. Trust me,” Wu Zhou emphasized.

“So what’s the reason?” The one who asked that was, of course, not Yuan Zhou. The little amount of curiosity he had had all been contributed to culinary skills. Therefore, it was Ling Hong at the side who asked.

“Let me tell you, Boss Yuan. My girlfriend enjoys eating boiled prawns very much, but she prefers eating it with vinegar. What’s more, she doesn’t like the vinegar bought outside, except the one served here,” said Wu Zhou with a look of sweetness.

“Sorry. My dishes can’t be taken out,” said Yuan Zhou primly, not caring about Wu Zhou’s business even if he was a little annoyed by Wu Zhou’s showing off his love.

“Vinegar is not a dish. It’s only a flavoring.” Wu Zhou tried his best to get his request to be accepted for the sake of his girlfriend.

“The rules are all on the wall.” Yuan Zhou was too lazy to explain anymore. He just pointed at the wall and said that.

“Then I will buy and take some prawns here to eat.” Having recalled the distinct way he ate the Egg Fried Rice that was bought outside here last time, Wu Zhou suddenly became enlightened and then said that.

“A separate serving of vinegar costs 66 RMB per plate,” Yuan Zhou said lightly.

“Eh…” Wu Zhou choked right away.

“A man cannot admit defeat. Just buy one.” Ling Hong spoke nonsense with a prim look.

“Exactly. A man can’t say he is incapable,” Octopus held back his laughter and said.

They all knew about Yuan Zhou’s rules. With the price of 66 RMB, he could only buy a plate of vinegar. Even if they didn’t lack money, they still felt heartache.

“Let me first consult my wife when I go home.” Ever since Zhuang Xinmu agreed to Wu Zhou’s plan to buy an apartment, he addressed his girlfriend as his wife.

As the result, the several people who teased him were again attacked by the flaunting of his sweet love.

“I feel that having meals is more important,” Octopus said quietly.

Then they began to order their dishes and neglected Wu Zhou at the side on the nod.

The one-hour breakfast time soon passed. However, the customers didn’t leave immediately. They hadn’t seen each other for long and those who were free basically stayed to make small talk for a while.

Nevertheless, the most important thing was, of course, to inquire about Yuan Zhou’s next itinerary and if he planned to go out again.

After applying various speaking techniques of beating about the bush, Wu Zhou made the final conclusion in the end.

“Boss Yuan, are you prepared to rest again these few days?” Wu Zhou said straightforwardly.

Once the words were uttered, those who still stayed in the restaurant all listened carefully to Yuan Zhou’s answer. Zhou Jia also listened earnestly. After all, she had been paid all along but didn’t do much work, hence felt a little perturbed.

“Temporarily, no,” Yuan Zhou said indifferently.

“Hu….. Bye, Boss Yuan. I’m going to work.” Wu Anlu let out a sigh of relief and then directly said goodbye.

Having got their satisfactory answer, other customers also left one after another. Even the hawkers that publicly listened in on their conversation likewise left contentedly.

What a joke. After Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was closed, the customers were directly reduced by 2/3. And the remaining 1/3 merely came here to inquire about when Yuan Zhou would open the restaurant and hence wasn’t in the mood for buying their food. Therefore, their business had been severely affected for the past five days.

They eagerly expected that Yuan Zhou could open the restaurant and do business without any rest like them. That way, they could also make a lot of money.

“Boss, I’m leaving, too.” Zhou Jia prepared to leave in silence.

“Wait a moment. Your weekly salary.” Yuan Zhou took out the brand-new 100 RMB notes and handed them to her.

“Thank you, boss. But we didn’t work this week and it’s inappropriate to receive the money.” Zhou Jia first thanked him, but didn’t reach her hands to get the money.

“Did you come here everyday?” asked Yuan Zhou suddenly.

“Yes, I did. I came every morning at 8:00 with Shen Min.” Zhou Jia didn’t know Yuan Zhou’s style well and hence answered honestly.
