Chapter 391: Vegetables Stir-fried With Mushrooms
“Xiao Li, I’m waiting for you at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant along Taoxi Road.” A young man dressed in a thin sweater said gently on the phone by the door.
“Got it. We meet there every time, but never eat there.” A delicate grumble of a girl passed from the other end of the phone.
“Just wait until the end of the year. After I get my annual bonus, I will take you there to eat the Egg Fried Rice.” The young man held his phone and said decisively.
“No need. I don’t really feel like eating it anyway, just saying casually. Wait for me. I’ll be there right away.” The girl refused flatly and then said happily.
“No hurry. Just take your time. I’m waiting for you.” The young man nodded his head and instructed her carefully.
Such matters often happened at the door of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant and the customers that lined up there didn’t feel strange at all at sight of that. After all, Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was the most famous place around there.
Three hours were too short. The man in a suit had barely swallowed up his last mouthful of mineral water that came with the set.
“Everybody, today’s opening hours have ended. Please come earlier tomorrow.” Yuan Zhou stood in the kitchen and said earnestly.
“Zhou Jia, you can go back now. No need to clear these things away.” Yuan Zhou turned his head and said to Zhou Jia who was prepared to tidy up at the side.
“Huh?” Zhou Jia looked at him with puzzlement.
“Go back now.” Yuan Zhou waved his hand and moved the bowls and plates onto the transmission belt by himself.
“Boss, let me do it.” Seeing Yuan Zhou doing the work by himself, Shen Min that had just arrived went up said that immediately.
“No need. You can go to the backyard to prepare now.” Yuan Zhou gestured at the door of the sergestes wall.
“But…” Shen Min also became puzzled.
“Just go.” Yuan Zhou stressed again in the end.
“What’s wrong with our boss?” Shen Min asked Zhou Jia beside her with a low voice.
“I don’t know. I was not allowed to move them just now.” Zhou Jia was also very puzzled.
“Who knows? As long as he isn’t angry.” Wu Hai chose a seat and sat down randomly.
Generally speaking, when it was the time for the afternoon shift, Shen Min would always come earlier and help Zhou Jia to tidy things up. Only after that did she start to prepare for the opening of the pub. However, Yuan Zhou didn’t let them tidy things up today, which was very rare.
Other customers that stayed behind also felt it to be strange.
After dinner, some customers wouldn’t leave immediately, but would instead stay behind for a rest. And some stayed behind in preparation for drinking liquor. An example would be the novelist and Wu Hai that often came here for meals recently.
As well as the man in a suit that purely sat there and stared blankly.
Zhou Jia turned around and left when she saw Yuan Zhou almost finishing up the work. Shen Min, nevertheless, went into the pub and wiped all the tables first before she came back and stood quietly by the door of the sergestes wall.
“Hua La Hua La”, Yuan Zhou turned on the tap and started to wash his hands very earnestly.
“Boss Yuan, are you still going to cook?” Su Mu asked that when he saw the strange demeanor of Yuan Zhou.
“Yes. Everyone, you all can go to the pub to wait.” Yuan Zhou said lightly.
“Ok. But I prefer to watch you cook the dish here.” Su Mu said smilingly.
“As you please.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head indifferently.
Having washed his hands, Yuan Zhou took out a new handkerchief to wipe his hands dry and then put on a thin glove earnestly.
“It feels like a new dish as I have never seen Yuan Zhou cook it. Do we have any opportunity to eat it?” Wu Hai looked at Yuan Zhou earnestly at the side.
“But it’s the very first time that I see Boss Yuan cooking at this time of the day.” It was on this point that Su Mu felt strange.
“He might be busy recently and has time now.” Wu Hai only cared about what Yuan Zhou would cook.
“It’s also possible.” Su Mu nodded his head.
The man in a suit only watched them at the side.
“Hoo.” Yuan Zhou let out a solid breath and then pulled open the cabinet, where there were bright shiny and green vegetables.
