Chapter 264 (2/2)
Of course, his job in the cold dish department of the four-star hotel made Li Fang feel proud, along with his craftsmanship.
In the past half a month, Zhou Jia had gotten to know her boss quite well. He was the person who defeated the head chef at World Foodie Hotel. The very high price, the customers lining up for meals every day, and the very poor dining atmosphere were the best evidence of Yuan Zhou’s superb culinary skills.
Zhou Jia felt that Boss Yuan would definitely teach him how to behave humbly as long as Li Fang dared to come tomorrow.
Then, Zhou Jia went to class with confidence.
The sun and moon changed shifts every day. On the next early morning, Yuan Zhou got out of the bed and went out to jog before opening the restaurant for business. Everything went as usual during the breakfast time and nothing special happened.
Yuan Zhou was only thinking about how to improve his speaking skills in order to complete the mission. Never had he expected that somebody would go to his restaurant to have a meal with a purpose of challenging him.
Customers were still as many as usual. Yuan Zhou was also busy with cooking in the kitchen.
“Boss Yuan, one serving of Egg Fried Rice.”
“Steamed Tofu with Minced Pork plus one serving of 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine.”
“Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork and one serving of 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine, Boss Yuan.”
The sound of ordering dishes rose one after another and the restaurant also became lively due to the crowd of customers.
To Li Fang, he was quite happy to go and help Zhou Jia judge the tiny restaurant since she made the appointment. That’s right. He thought Zhou Jia was actually asking him to help her evaluate the craftsmanship of her boss.
After all, he was the director of the cold dish department of a four-star hotel. It was pretty easy for him to do such work.
Noontime on Tuesday was usually not busy, therefore he went out of the hotel unhurriedly. Dressed in a casual suit, he directly headed for Taoxi Road.
Frankly speaking, Li Fang indeed had a good-looking face. He was 175cm tall and had an average weight, appearing rather clean and neat. The only problem was that he was an absolute chauvinist.
Having had slight contact with him, Zhou Jia couldn’t bear him at all. He was a conceited man and always acted his own way. Even before Zhou Jia agreed him to be his girlfriend, he requested that she move to his house and live together.
The excuse was fairly funny. He said she could save the rent that way. Besides, he didn’t pay much respect to Zhou Jia and believed his feelings toward her was noble. That made Zhou Jia quite puzzled. She had never encountered such a man as him.
“Taoxi Road Stop. Here I am.” Li Fang got off the bus unhurriedly and checked the address on his phone carefully.
After that, he walked toward the side street.
“This woman didn’t even tell me the exact address but only told me it was the one with most customers. Was she expecting him to count the people in every restaurant one by one?” Li Fang was much discontented while reading the message.
In his opinion, however many customers there were, the restaurant couldn’t match with his hotel. All these tiny restaurants were easily filled up with only three or five people. There was no one that had many customers.
The next moment, however, he was slapped on the face. He appeared as if he had heard the sound of slapping “Pa Pa”.
The long line of dozens of people in front of him was so obvious. They were indeed not less.
“Is it this one?” Li Fang didn’t believe that. He went up and took a look.
As was expected, he saw Zhou Jia greeting the customers enthusiastically inside. Just when he wanted to cut the line, he was stopped.
“Hey, young man. You are new, right? Go to wait in the line.” It was the tall and slim man who stopped him.
“I don’t think such a tiny restaurant deserves waiting in line.” Li Fang seemed to be fairly unwilling to obey.
“If you don’t wait in sequence, then you leave,” the tall and slim man also said flatly.
He stood there and got stunned for an instant. Looking at Zhou Jia and then at the long line, Li Fang took a deep breath and then went to the end of the line.
The tall and slim man nevertheless continued patrolling around and warned those who didn’t line up like that.
“A tiny restaurant surprisingly has so many customers!” Li Fang murmured discontentedly.
When he saw people come out from the restaurant soon, however, his confidence then resumed. The dishes definitely tasted bad, otherwise they wouldn’t come out so quickly. After all, it took one or two hours to have a meal in his hotel frequently. But here in this restaurant, customers went inside and came out within only ten minutes.
