Chapter 307: Upcoming BBQ Feast

“How could it be 12 hours?” Manager Shi went up and uttered solemnly.

“Why did you also come here? Boss Yuan isn’t here today.” Wu Hai knew Manager Shi. After all, there weren’t many customers who came a few times a week.

“Um. I only sleep five hours everyday. Boss Yuan is more diligent than me, so 6 hours are enough for him to rest.” Manager Shi first nodded to Wu Hai and then said primly.

Once he said that, however, the crowd was lost in the silence.

Even Wu Hai couldn’t help saying, “You have worked so hard, what are we working so hard for? This is not a proposal, but a toxic chicken soup for the soul.”

After that, other customers lost even the desire to ridicule any of them.

One was a manager of an electronic company, who came to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant for meals at least three times per week and occasionally left a clove of garlic uneaten.

The other was the well-known young artist, who took Yuan Zhou’s restaurant as his personal canteen.

Are the two of them sure that they were not showing off? The crowd got speechless for quite a while.

“I feel we ought to think what the compensated BBQ at night is.” After a considerable while, a customer changed the subject.

“That’s a good idea. What exactly is the BBQ?” The customers looked toward Wu Hai of one accord.

Some regular customers all knew that Wu Hai had once studied cooking from Yuan Zhou.

“Wu Hai, Do you know what it is?” Manager Shi directly asked him.

“How do I know? I didn’t even know that he isn’t here today.” Wu Hai was rather helpless.

“How could you not know? You live so close to him.” Manager Shi said unreservedly.

“It’s none of your business.” Wu Hai was originally unhappy for that he didn’t manage to have the meal. Now that he was insulted to his face, he surely wouldn’t restrain himself.

Of course, he wouldn’t restrain himself, either, even if he wasn’t in a bad mood.

“Tsk. What a bad temper! But I believe it’s a new dish.” Manager Shi gave the cold shoulder to Wu Hai.

“I’m going to leave and come back at night to see what it is. But I think it’s supposed to be a new dish.” A customer echoed.

“Superfluous words. Never eating it before, never hearing of it before and never seeing it before. Of course it’s a new dish.” Wu Hai crossed his arms against the chest and said deservedly.

“Wait. So there will be no liquor tonight?” The manager suddenly recalled something and asked with a caring tone.

“Surely not,” Wu Hai gloated and said.

He didn’t manage to get the liquor from a lucky draw today. Therefore, he was so joyful when he saw those lucky guys unable to drink liquor, either.

“Take it easy. I didn’t get the red ball, either.” Manager Shi said smilingly.

“Then what are you excited for?” Wu Hai revealed a speechless manner.

Other customers who watched the scene all along indicated that the two people were way too naive. Of course, they also cared about the matter.

“As far as I know, Boss Yuan has never eaten his words before. But in this leave request, he mentioned nothing about drinking liquor. What will he do?” Pointing at the leave request, the customer analyzed it word by word and then said.

“You think too much. I believe that Boss Yuan already has a solution.” This is a customer who trusted Boss Yuan.

“Alright. Let’s leave. I don’t see anybody inside.” Wu Hai waved his hand and left first.

“Let’s go.” Manger Shi also turned the head and said to his secretary who stood behind him and said nothing.

“Ok, Manager Shi. The car is at the crossing now. Are we coming over here tonight?” Wearing the pointed high-heeled shoes, the secretary didn’t make any sound while walking. Obviously, she had been trained.

“Sure.” Manager Shi nodded the head deservedly.

“What about we coming around at 8 this evening?” It was the customer who was curious about the new dish but more curious about how Boss Yuan solve the pub problem.

“No problem. Let’s come together.” This proposal got the consent from most of the customers.

Being still in the car, Yuan Zhou nevertheless felt his ears itchy. He had already felt like someone was talking behind his back.

The night came late in summer. It was a nice day and he could even see some light at this time of day.

At 7:50, Shen Min arrived at the entrance of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant and happened to meet Wu Hai and other customers who were waiting at the door.
