Chapter 266: Incipient Tendency for Mission Completion
“Request? Boss Yuan, I’m not blaming you, but your Chinese is much too poor.” Hearing Yuan Zhou’s word, Ling Hong said with a tone of contempt.
“Yes, it’s indeed a request. Do you have any?” Yuan Zhou asked seriously.
“I don’t have requests. But can I make a suggestion?” Ling Hong covered his forehead and said with a helpless look.
“A request is a request and a suggestion is a suggestion,” Yuan Zhou explained primly.
“Ho Ho. Of course I know that and that’s exactly why I want you to say advice instead of request.” Ling Hong suddenly felt that Yuan Zhou might as well cook only. Communication seemed to be way too difficult for him to learn.
“Everybody, please tell me directly if you have any request.” Yuan Zhou straightforwardly neglected the annoying guy, Ling Hong, this time.
What a joke. It was the best occasion that he thought of for collecting requests of opening branch restaurants. Of course he had likewise organized the utterance by himself.
Ling Hong then choked. Other customers at the side had already been used to similar scenes and some even snickered while covering the mouth.
Every time somebody choked due to Yuan Zhou, they would have a weird pleasant sensation with the precondition that it wasn’t himself.
“Could you provide a little more amount for each dish?” Asked a customer naively.
“This restaurant is equally honest with aged and child customers. And the amount has no difference from that served by other restaurants,” said Yuan Zhou seriously in response to this question.
“Yeah, of course, we know. It is because Boss Yuan cooks so well and we feel the amount is too little.” The customers were likewise quite skilled in praising others. Once the words were uttered, Yuan Zhou felt rather happy.
“Thank you for your compliments. What you just said indeed makes sense, but the amount will be maintained unchanged.” Yuan Zhou first expressed his gratitude and then refused the request of the customers.
“Boss Yuan, you are so proficient in the practice of getting moved and then refusing others.” The customer appeared fairly speechless.
“Humm, you are welcome,” said Yuan Zhou naturally.
“I think it’s better to make some requests that are easier to reach. Of course, Boss Yuan, you have to tell us first if you will close the door after you collect them.” Ling Hong made a constructive suggestion this time while stroking the chin.
“No, I won’t. I’m just collecting the requests from you.” There was no other expression on Yuan Zhou’s solemn face.
“You sure?” Ling Hong didn’t have much confidence in Yuan Zhou concerning his moral integrity.
“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded the head and anticipated very much that he could collect some requests.
Then he checked the progress status of the mission completion conveniently. —-
[Main Mission] To become a regional gourmet representative (uncompleted)
(Mission tips: Being a minor celebrity can no longer satisfy your wild ambition. You must become a regional representative within one calendar month. Young man, I have faith in you.)
[Mission reward] To get promoted by one level up; one chance to draw lottery; an upgrade reward.
(Reward tips: for such a great reward, young man, go and endeavor to get it.)
“I’m afraid this mission can only be completed after the side mission,” thought Yuan Zhou silently.
As for the side mission, it was smoother. He had completed parts of the mission by then.
[Side Mission] To collect 100 requests to open branch restaurants (uncompleted)
(Mission tips: one couldn’t be regarded as a master chef if no one applies for a branch restaurant.)
[Mission status] 28/100
[Mission Reward] A recipe of Dongpo Pig Knuckle
(Reward tips: a main course of Sichuan Cuisines, a must-have dish for a master chef.)
Seeing the reward, Yuan Zhou suddenly had a feeling of being moved. Men were all carnivores. For example, what Yuan Zhou often ate recently was the dish of Translucent Beef Slices.
“You can tell me your requests now.” Yuan Zhou revealed an earnest expression, indicating that he would listen to them carefully.
“You guys speak and I will listen,” Yuan Zhou supplemented while processing the food materials.
Then, he received a succession of weird requests.
