Chapter 269: Yuan Zhou’s Petty Trick

“Boss Yuan, are you prepared to provide a new kind of liquor?” a customer craned his neck and asked.

“I think so, too. What liquor is it this time and how much will you provide at a time?” This customer cared more about the amount of the liquor.

“The box is apparently used for drawing lottery. And there are definitely only three pots every day,” a man dressed in sportswear said affirmatively.

“That indeed makes sense. Then what’s the liquor this time?” Everything that was newly served in Yuan Zhou ’s restaurant drew much attention.

“It’s not liquor, but actually a suggestion box,” Yuan Zhou pointed to the three big characters written on the box quietly and then said earnestly.

“I know that. Boss Yuan has been collecting suggestions these few days. Does he want us to write the suggestions down and put it inside?” said Sportswear naturally as if the previous guess were not made by him.

“Everybody could tell me about your suggestions during the non-business hours. For those who have written it down, please also tell me first before you put it inside. And those who don’t want to write it can tell me directly.” It was rare for Yuan Zhou to utter such a long sentence.

“Since we can directly tell you, why do we write it down?” The customers were all puzzled.

“Your choice will be fully respected that way,” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then said earnestly.

“Well….” The customers instantly became speechless.

Now that you have respected our choice, why would we have to tell you first before we put the suggestion inside? If so, it likewise meant that we had only one choice. Looking at the suggestion box, the customers all became speechless.

“Business hours have ended. You may start now.” Yuan Zhou was very expectant in the heart as it was the best idea that he could think of.

With the specific purpose, coherent logic and speaking before suggesting, he could collect the required requests more quickly. Yuan Zhou made a thumbs-up gesture to himself quietly in the heart.

The crowd was lost in silence for a while. Then, a young girl asked, “Boss Yuan, does the suggestion of opening branch restaurants count?”

“Yes, sure. Please tell me.” The corner of his mouth inconspicuously went up by 1cm.

“I wish your business can get much better in future so that you can open many branch restaurants.” The girl didn’t give her suggestion in an ordinary manner.

“Thank you,” Yuan Zhou fell silent doubtfully for a while and the said seriously.

“You are welcome.” Not knowing any of Yuan Zhou’s slight sorrow, the young girl left cheerfully.

Yuan Zhou felt he needed to check if the blessing counted as a request. After all, a blessing wasn’t a genuine request.

[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.)

Just as was expected, the system didn’t let him down. The progress of the mission still didn’t change at all.

While stroking his forehead, Yuan Zhou thought very carefully if it would have an effect to summon her back now. After all, if he could collect another request successfully, he could then be nearer to the reward dish of Dongpo Pig Knuckle.

Just in a short moment, however, Yuan Zhou gave up the alluring idea of summoning her back, as the young girl had walked farther from them. Of course, it wasn’t because of the matter of his reputation.

“Boss Yuan, I think you should try to improve your restaurant’s popularity,” a man who was dressed in a well-tailored suit suggested earnestly.

“Don’t listen to him bullshitting. I think you are doing very well right now.” Not long after the man had barely said that, his voice was overwhelmed by that of other customers.
