Chapter 277: The Lure of Free Stuff

“I’m sorry. Please wait until the business time is over and then discuss about it. My boss won’t do anything else right now,” Zhou Jia said seriously.

“Ok, fine. He really has so many rules.” The man said discontentedly.

“Sorry, please pardon me.” Zhou Jia made a gesture of “Please leave”.

“I can wait for one hour only, as I still have something else to do.” The man looked quite dissatisfied but still agreed at last. After grumbling several words, he stepped aside.

“Thanks for your understanding.” After a faint smile, Zhou Jia continued to greet other customers.

“Whoops. Finally, I get my turn. I almost starv to death.” It was a man who was dressed in a gray shirt and appeared rather stout. He complained while walking into the restaurant.

“Sir, this way, please. What do you want to eat today?” As soon as she heard him, Zhou Jia went up and asked.

“All the meat dishes are my favorite,” the man in gray shirt said immediately with his eyes glowing.

“The menu of this tiny restaurant is right behind you. Please check what you want to eat.” Zhou Jia signaled the man to look at the menu behind of him.

“Ok.” The man then turned the head and looked back.

“Can these dishes be cooked with a bigger portion?” After checking all the dishes, the man looked toward Zhou Jia.

“Sir, the dishes are all standard portion. You can easily eat your fill with one serving.” Zhou Jia uttered earnestly. However, she wasn’t really confident with that. After all, too many customers requested to increase the portion.

“Are you sure you can’t?” The man frowned.

“You can order one serving of every single dish here in our restaurant.” Zhou Jia put it another way and indicated that he could eat his fill in the restaurant.

“All right. Translucent Beef Slices, Silk Twined Rabbit and Melt-In-The-Mouth Chicken Feet,” The man in gray shirt considered for a while and ordered.

“Is that all, sir?” Zhou Jia asked courteously.

“Don’t you have any main course like streaky pork or braised pork with soy sauce?” The man asked again.

“Sir, all our dishes have been written on the menu.” Zhou Jia said politely again.

“Forget it. The Phoenix Tail Prawns can also be considered to be a meat dish. Get one serving of that for me.” The man ordered another dish despite his tone of disfavor.

“Alright, sir. Your dishes will be served in no time.” Zhou Jia said with courtesy while smiling.

“Ok, go now.” The man waved his hands and signaled Zhou Jia to go and get the dishes for him.

“One moment, please.” Zhou Jia nodded the head.

The first thing that Yuan Zhou did after he received the order was to ask Zhou Jia, “Have you reminded him of the rules of our restaurant?”

The serious and earnest manner of Yuan Zhou enabled Zhou Jia to become earnest, too.

“Yes, I told him the moment he ordered the dishes.” The comely face of Zhou Jia tightened firmly.

“Humm, that’s good.” Then Yuan Zhou nodded the head and turned to cook the dishes.

The smoke-cured Silk Twined Rabbit and the Translucent Beef Slices were served first. With his forehead tightly creased in a frown, however, the man in gray shirt said after a long while, “They are surprisingly so little.”

Just when Zhou Jia was about to answer him, the man nevertheless turned the head and started to eat. Therefore she had to give up.

“Humm. Well, it’s so delicious and way too good.” The man couldn’t help sighing with emotion while gobbling up the dishes.

Then, Zhou Jia became relieved when she saw the man eat so happily with satisfaction.

After all, this person seemed to be a little dissatisfied. And Zhou Jia hoped very much that the customers would increase.

Only when the boss had good business could they work there longer and hence have a stable high salary.

“These are the remaining dishes that you ordered just now. Now they are all here.” Zhou Jia carried the dishes onto his table neatly.

“Okay. You can go now,” The man in gray shirt said vaguely.

Then, he continued eating. The way he gobbled the dishes up gave people a free and uninhibited feeling.

It seemed that he liked Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship very much.

The eating speed of the man made others greatly impressed.
