Chapter 345: A New Way to Line Up

Yuan Zhou had no idea of what was happening outside his restaurant. Liu Chen, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief. It was good to have 10 minutes to solve the problem.

“Boss Yuan, I think you should know why we are here today.” Liu Chen said earnestly with a serious expression.

“No, I don’t. Please tell me.” Yuan Zhou answered earnestly, too.

“Cough cough cough. Then let me tell you something first.” Liu Chen choked slightly. He managed to calm down and then said.

“Um, please.” With a nod, Yuan Zhou indicated that he was listening.

The attitude of Yuan Zhou made the people behind feel relaxed. As long as he would like to listen, there would naturally be methods to solve the problem.

“Things are like this. Boss Yuan, the business time of your restaurant is only 6 hours every day. Breakfast takes up one hour, about which I have nothing to say.” Liu Chen first let go of the breakfast time generously and then continued saying.

“Two hours at noon and three hours in the evening. Every time, the meal commences the previous second before the restaurant is opened. The daily business time is quite fixed and is never short.” Liu Chen knew much about the sequence of negotiation. First, give compliments and then, problems.

“Thanks for your compliment.” Yuan Zhou didn’t actually recognize that was a compliment, but he still thanked him politely.

“You are welcome. But Boss Yuan, have you ever considered the situation? We come to line up every day and we, at the latter part of the line, don’t know how long it will take for one person to finish their meal. After waiting for several hours, we are told that your business time has ended. Do you think it good?” Liu Chen’s words were quite inducing. He first let Yuan Zhou himself feel bad. Only in that way could this matter be taken seriously.

Resourceful as Yuan Zhou was, however, he had already seen through all his intention. He nodded his head and then said, “You are right. What then?”

“So Boss Yuan, you also agree with me. So what’s your solution to this problem?” Liu Chen was surprised at Yuan Zhou’s frankness and only asked after he paused a little while.

“I’m waiting for you to tell me.” Yuan Zhou straightened up and revealed a manner of carefully listening.

“Er…” Even Liu Chen, this eloquent person, became slightly dumbfounded.

“Here’s the thing. We, including the people outside, are all that couldn’t manage to have meals after lining up for many times. However, Wu Hai can have meals here every time as he lives really near.” When he spoke of Wu Hai, Liu Chen gnashed the teeth in anger.

“That would be unfair to us and moreover affect your business.” Liu Chen said in summary.

“But that’s out of the control of my boss,” Shen Min stepped forward and said.

Once she said that, the people including Liu Chen and Yuan Zhou all looked at Shen Min.

She was a little nervous, but still calmed down and said, “You might not know, but in this store we don’t know much about cooking and can’t help Boss Yuan in this restaurant. All the work are done by my boss alone.”

“In order to make the best dishes, even the work of washing the vegetables is done by my boss himself. Although the business time is only 6 hours, my boss is either practicing sculpting or cooking dishes every time I arrive and see him. Or else, he is reading books on cooked wheaten products.”

“My boss gets up at 5:30 every morning and sleeps at 12:00 midnight. He keeps working all day except the five hours when he is asleep.”

After the long paragraph, Shen Min let out a breath and became more and more natural. In the end, she said in summary, “So my boss is really really hard-working.”

After Shen Min said that, Liu Chen was lost in silence. He knew that being a chef was quite laborious, but never had he expected it to be so tough.

Therefore, Liu Chen and others intended to give up at that moment, thinking that they might be overdoing it.

Being a chef was indeed laborious, but Yuan Zhou had already gotten used to the busy life. Contrarily, he felt that such life was rather fulfilling. Looking at people come and go every day in his restaurant, he felt every customer was quite interesting.

At that moment, however, Yuan Zhou didn’t think they were overdoing it. He was inquiring the system as it was really a good chance for blackmailing.

“System, I think you should be responsible for this problem.”

“I think you should offer a solution. After all, all the missions you released before are about fame and reputation. What about enlarging the restaurant?” Yuan Zhou proposed lightly.

The system displayed, “Host, you are unqualified to do that due to your low level.”

“Then why not offer more seats? Look, you can actually add another table for four over there or you can change that table for two into one for four?” Yuan Zhou looked at the narrow place in the restaurant.
