Chapter 383: Highest State of Acting Cool

Three days passed in a flash. The reason why Yuan Zhou asked to start cooking at 8:30 p.m. was that he was considerate and didn’t want to delay his customers’ meal time.

As soon as Shen Min arrived, Yuan Zhou summoned her to him.

“Shen Min, I won’t be here tonight. You can just go back when the time is up.” Yuan Zhou said to Shen Min who walked to him.

“Ok. Don’t worry, Boss Yuan.” Shen Min nodded her head earnestly.

“Um. I’m leaving now.” Yuan Zhou then went upstairs to change clothes with relief.

“Be careful on your way, Boss Yuan.” Shen Min only said that when Yuan Zhou almost got to the second floor after quite a while.

“Ok.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“Hoo. When exactly can I get this habit cured?” Shen Min was quite helpless to this habit of getting nervous at the sight of her teachers or superiors.

About ten minutes later, Yuan Zhou stepped down the stairs with a sound of “Ta Ta Ta”.

“Boss Yuan, are you going out on a date?” Once she finished asking that, Shen Min blushed instantly and then prepared to leave with embarrassment.

“No, I’m not. I’m going to improve my culinary skills.” Yuan Zhou appeared extraordinarily earnest when he was saying that.

“Oh, I see. Bye, Boss Yuan.” Shen Min answered solemnly immediately.

“Um.” After a nod, Yuan Zhou walked out of the side street and prepared to take a cab to the hotel.

Actually, it was not strange that Shen Min would ask that. Yuan Zhou was dressed in a dark blue round-collar robe today, which made him look fairly handsome, good-looking and slender.

As he liked simplicity when going out, Yuan Zhou only took a bank note of 10 RMB, barely enough amount for the cab, for going there and 20 RMB for coming back since there was the night fee in the evening. Apart from all that, He had only a phone with him.

“Litter bro, your clothes are pretty good. They look great.” When they were waiting for the green light, the driver complimented him smilingly.

“Thank you. This is the round-neck robe.” Yuan Zhou first nodded to thank him and then answered.

“Oh. I know the character, Lord Dee, in the TV series of Renjie Dee likes wearing this kind of clothes.” The driver indicated that he liked watching the costume dramas very much.

“Um. It’s indeed similar to that.” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then found they really looked the same.

“Then do you also put your money in the sleeves?” The driver gazed at Yuan Zhou’s puff from time to time.

“Yes. I can make a pocket inside.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“It’s indeed true. Interesting.” The driver then started to drive carefully after his curiosity was satisfied.

In less than 10 minutes, the driver made a turn and parked the car gracefully at the entrance of the hotel with a sound of “Zi”.

“With those driving skills, you can even enter a competition.” Yuan Zhou muttered inwardly with an expressionless look and then took out the bank note of 10 RMB and gave it to him.

“The amount is just right. Bye, little brother.” The driver nodded his head and said goodbye to Yuan Zhou.

“Goodbye.” Yuan Zhou also nodded his head.

“Hello. Come in, please.” The doorman came over to lead him the way.

“Guanju Hall on the fourth floor, please.” Yuan Zhou directly brought out the destination.

“Ok. Follow me, please.” The doorman answered smilingly.

Although Yuan Zhou was dressed in Han Chinese clothing, nobody stopped to stare at him. Therefore, he arrived at the fourth floor quietly.

“It is almost the time. Why isn’t that person here yet?” Master Chen complained while looking at the entrance.

And Yuan Zhou happened to hear that when he arrived.

The entire hall was arranged to be as well-lit as during the day. There were even shadowless lamps where Yuan Zhou would process the food ingredients.

On the long countertop, all tools required for steaming, oil-frying, stir-frying and boiling were all complete and furthermore, the three pots, bowls and wooden dippers were all laid out at the side.

Behind him were the plates and bowls used for carrying the dishes. They were as long as the kitchen countertop and were separated into several parts, where there were different patterns and styles.

On the left were six large sinks for washing the vegetables and next to them was the azure stone countertop for processing the ingredients.

“Great. It’s fairly decent.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head contentedly when he saw the food ingredients along the wall at the other side.
