Chapter 453 (1/2)

“Isn’t your new dish the hotpot?” Wu Hai pointed at the menu and asked speechlessly.

“Yes. That’s why I wanted you to check first.” Zhou Jia smiled innocently.

She must have studied from Yuan Zhou on that point.

“Boss Yuan!” Wu Hai shouted to Yuan Zhou energetically.

“Um, I can hear you.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head extraordinarily calmly.

If not it wasn’t a proper occasion, Yuan Zhou even wanted to imitate the character in movies, picking the ears before answering him. He felt that would be quite cool.

“Aren’t you providing the Spicy Hotpot? Why is it marked below as ONLY SEASONING AVAILABLE WITHOUT SIDE INGREDIENTS. What does that mean?” Wu Hai pointed at the menu and asked quite discontentedly.

“It’s what it literally means?” Yuan Zhou answered him earnestly.

“There aren’t side ingredients for the Spicy Hotpot. Boss Yuan, are you kidding me?” Wu Hai was quite angry.

After all, he loved spicy dishes so much and of course the Spicy Hotpot was his favorite. But what could he eat if there weren’t side ingredients in the hotpot? Yuan Zhou must be kidding.

“Who told you there must be side ingredients in the hotpot?” Yuan Zhou asked him back in a natural and calm tone.

“Well…” Instantly, Wu Hai was speechless by the words that Yuan Zhou had learned from the system.

“Go take orders.” Yuan Zhou immediately felt a pleasant feeling all over his body. Then he said to Zhou Jia beside him.

“Are you sure there are no side ingredients?” Wu Hai stressed heavily on the two characters of NO SIDE INGREDIENTS.

“Not for now.” Yuan Zhou nodded.

“Okay. Get me a serving of the seasoning of the Spicy Hotpot.” Stroking his small mustaches hesitantly, Wu Hai looked at Yuan Zhou and said to him indignantly.

“According to the rules, you can order whatever dish you like. As this is just the soup, however, you don’t need to eat it all up. But if you are just ordering it to check or try the taste, it will be regarded as a waste.” Yuan Zhou reminded him earnestly.

“I know. Don’t be so wordy. I just want it.” Wu Hai said indignantly.

“Um. Whoever breaks the rules would be blacklisted.” When Yuan Zhou said the word ‘blacklisted’, he appeared quite solemn without the slightest joking manner.

“Got it.” Wu Hai nodded his head.

Yuan Zhou said that with a fairly average volume, thus almost all customers in his restaurant heard him.

However, he was more likely to say that to Su Mu and Ling Hong. After all, only these two people could afford to waste the dish.

After all, the marked price of the hotpot was really not low.

Seasoning of the Spicy Hotpot: 3688 RMB each per serving (Only a serving of seasoning of the hotpot is available and there are no other dishes)

This was the marked price on the new menu. And that was why Yuan Zhou especially reminded everyone that nobody could waste it.

However, it originally wasn’t regarded as the food. You couldn’t let others drink up all the soup of the hotpot, but if one didn’t taste it after ordering, that would be considered a waste. Therefore, Yuan Zhou wouldn’t let that happen and thus explained specially.

“What the f*ck! How can you provide only the seasoning and not the side ingredients? Boss Yuan, how about you allow me to take the dish out?” Wu Hai asked Yuan Zhou and hoped something good could happen.

“I’m sorry. No dish is allowed to be taken out of my restaurant.” Yuan Zhou grinned and then said earnestly.

“Okay, fine. Please go and prepare the soup.” Wu Hai waved his hand, indicating that he wanted to stay there alone.

Only after Yuan Zhou turned around and began to prepare the dishes did the customers in the restaurant start a discussion.

“What do you think Boss Yuan means? Why is there only the seasoning?” A customer asked the other one beside him curiously.

“Exactly. This hotpot is so expensive.” Another customer ordered the beef and then ridiculed about the hotpot.

“Yeah. Moreover, there aren’t any side ingredients. As long as it’s cooked by Boss Yuan, however, I want to taste the soup.” The first customer had just chimed in with the third one recalled Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship. Then, he said reluctantly.

“We might as well go beg Wu Hai. He might agree to our request.” The customer suggested craftily.

“No, never. It is already good that he doesn’t come to steal ours.” Obviously, this person was a regular customer and he was quite clear about Wu Hai’s temperament of protecting his own dishes.

“That makes sense. But I’m still curious about why Boss Yuan doesn’t provide the side ingredients. That way, we can gather together and eat a meal.” The customer looked at the menu and then at Yuan Zhou and revealed a puzzled expression.
