Chapter 423 (2/2)
“But I don’t know anything about cooking. Where can I get the craftsmanship?” Wu Hong said weakly.
“No craftsmanship? A green hand?” Then, Master Chen got surprised.
This time, Wu Hong only nodded his head and didn’t say anything.
“Then you do this. Boss Yuan is a thin-skinned and soft-hearted person. You try to keep calling him teacher, no matter what happens. It might work this way.” Master Cheng suddenly thought of the story in the martial art novels and suggested immediately.
As for why he didn’t use this method, obviously he wasn’t foolish. What if Yuan Zhou hated that way very much?
“Would it work?” Wu Hong was a little suspicious. After all, Yuan Zhou hadn’t admitted him as his disciple. If he called Yuan Zhou his teacher without his consent, would that annoy Yuan Zhou?
“Of course. I have been with Boss Yuan for quite a long time.” Master Cheng had originally intended to say ‘quite a few days’. Thinking it wouldn’t be convincing, however, he immediately corrected himself.
“Ok, let me try.” Wu Hong nodded his head solemnly.
“Come on, kid.” Master Cheng looked honest and sincere.
“If he can succeed, I might also be able to succeed. If he is willing to one as his disciple, why can’t he take two?” With his seemingly honest and sincere face, Master Cheng thought earnestly.
“Hey, drink some water. My boss told me to give you the water.” Master Cheng brushed past Zhou Jia who was carrying a bowl of water.
“Really?” Wu Hong got excited.
“Of course. Boss Yuan is very nice.” Zhou Jia nodded her head.
“Thank you, thank you.” Wu Hong received a common porcelain bowl and drank up the warm water inside in one breath.
“You have drunk the water. Boss Yuan wants you to leave.” Zhou Jia took the bowl back and then said.
“No, I must take him as my teacher.” Wu Hong wiped his mouth and became more resolute.
“Suit yourself.” Zhou Jia didn’t intend to persuade him. After saying that, she took the bowl and went back.
Wu Hong nevertheless strengthened his belief inwardly.
“That person seems to be right. Yuan Zhou is both soft-hearted and thin-skinned. I still have opportunities.” Wu Hong encouraged himself secretly.
“Our Boss Yuan has become more and more famous. The first boss offered tens of millions to hire him; a cooking master beat gongs and sounded drums in order to request him to be his teacher; No-Discount Ling wanted to employ him from time to time; and now, this young man insisted on requesting him as his teacher again.” The customers in the line started to whisper to one another.
“Exactly. However, that TV program was shot really well, even better than a movie.” A customer nodded his head continuously to show his consent.
“That’s totally due to the special effects. How could the film be compared to Boss Yuan’s authentic ingredients?” Another customer said scornfully.
“That indeed made sense.” Other customers echoed.
“How long do you guys think he can stay here?” Customers were quite curious about this point.
“I don’t know.” The customers shook his head one after another.
“Come on. Let’s bet on that. Those who win can raise some money to eat here.” It was Gu Li’an who always loved betting.
“It’s you, again. What are you betting this time?” As soon as the customers heard ‘raise money to eat’, they showed great interest.
“Let’s bet on how long he can stay here.” Gu Li’an said cleanly.
“Three options: two days, three days and the last, more than 5 days. Of course, people who bet can’t be more than 100.” Gu Li’an pointed at Wu Hong secretly and said.
“Why isn’t there the option of one day? I think one day is more or less enough for him. After all, Boss Yuan’s rules aren’t only for decoration.” A customer asked with puzzlement.
“It will be one day by the end of today.” Gu Li’an said smartly.
“Yeah, that makes sense. Then I bet 50 RMB on two days.” This customer immediately chose the least days.
“I believe he can stay at least three days. Of course, it’s because of Boss Yuan’s craftsmanship.” The customer said right after that.
Instantly, the atmosphere became more boisterous.
