Chapter 343: The First Crisis of Yuan Zhou’s Restaurant

While Yuan Zhou was preparing to attend an interesting contest, Li Li was thinking about his own failure in his restaurant.

“That guy looks young, but his craftsmanship is very good indeed. However, I’m not inferior to him, either.” While tapping on the suggestion forms on the table, Li Li was thinking of the best method slowly in his mind.

He was not likely to be defeated by others all the time, which didn’t conform to his temperament as well.

“Stupid, stupid, stupid”. Li Li suddenly cursed himself continuously for three times and then knocked his head with his hand.

“Sure enough, I wasn’t calm at all. Why did I compete against him in the areas where I’m not good at?” Li Li felt it to be a little funny when he recalled what he had done for the past few days.

He might be right. Li Li was a senior western food chef recognized worldwide, and he was good at steak rather than these dishes. As long as the customers ordered the steak, they all praised Li Li.

Having straightened out his thinking, Li Li instantly felt better and hence selectively neglected the possibility of Yuan Zhou also serving steak.

“Beef Wellington is a nice option.” Li Li remembered this famous dish in Britain.

That’s right. This dish came from Britain and was also a famous dish. It was quite well-known by people and the cooking method was also very elegant. It was considered to be a rare normal dish.

Compared with the Black Chocolate Roasted Eggplant, this dish sounded much more normal.

This dish was also what Li Li was good at. Of course, he had learned to cook this famous British dish in France.

After he decided on the dish, Li Li instantly became much more relaxed. He took off his chef uniform and went home.

…

Early next morning, Yuan Zhou got up for jogging as usual and then came back to cook noodles. After he finished the breakfast, he carried the remaining broth to Broth and afterwards, prepared the food ingredients for breakfast.

The business time for breakfast was still same as before. The restaurant was always crowded with so many people. After all, 100 servings was really not a lot.

Lunch time was also same as usual. Two hours later, Yuan Zhou stood up and announced, “I’m sorry. Lunch time has ended now. Please come earlier tomorrow.”

Such words had been repeated for many times in the past few months, therefore Yuan Zhou said them quite deftly.

Those customers in the line would soon disperse although they often complained discontentedly during normal times. However, it was Saturday today and they didn’t disperse as usual, but instead, gathered together. That made Yuan Zhou slightly puzzled.

“Liu Chen, do as what we have agreed on. This time, we must let Boss Yuan give us an explanation.” A man who was dressed in sportswear and had been to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant for several times said to the other man ahead who appeared to be the headman.

“Everybody, please calm down. Let me get this thing clear.” Dressed in the business suits, Liu Chen looked rather peaceful. He was wearing rimless glasses and appeared cultured. But once he talked, he directly silenced them immediately.

“My boss said that business hours for today have ended. Everybody, please leave.” When Shen Min found they didn’t seem to be leaving, she went up and said.

“Don’t worry, little girl. We have something to tell Boss Yuan. It’s beyond your reach.” With a mild tone, Liu Chen drove Shen Min away firmly.

“What’s the matter, guys?” Yuan Zhou frowned and asked.

Standing behind the long curved table, Yuan Zhou was directly facing the dozen of people led by Liu Chen in the restaurant. His aura was no less than that of these complaining foodies.

Well, that also included the crowd outside the restaurant. Some just watched the bustling scene while others were gathered together to riot.

These people must have prepared very well as they were all holding the banners in their hands.

Written on the banners were the following words, “Against unfair dining treatment. Strongly request fair queuing.”

As soon as they gather together, they attracted many people to watch.
