Chapter 492 (1/2)

Time flew. Soon, the next evening came. For the whole day, Yuan Zhou did not cook any fish dishes. He was waiting for the banquet in the evening.

As usual, Yuan Zhou hung a banner saying a new dish would be served before the dinner, even if Zhou Shijie and Chu Xiao hadn’t arrived there yet.

After all, the dish wasn’t prepared for Chu Xiao only. Other customers could also order it under the condition that they conformed to the requirements, namely, Yuan Zhou’s rules.

“!!!!! Boss, Boss…!!!!!! Is this the price of the new dish?” Zhou Jia pointed at the wall and asked in surprise.

“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head calmly.

“Are you sure it’s correct?” Zhou Jia swallowed her saliva and looked at Yuan Zhou in astonishment.

Written on the wall was the following information.

Special Price for an All-Fish Banquet: 38880RMB per serving (note: There are 10 dishes in all for this banquet. It can be ordered only on occasions where a banquet is considered appropriate. Wasting is not allowed.)

Zhou Jia felt she probably wouldn’t have any opportunity to eat the banquet at such a price in her life. In Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, however, it might be acceptable. After all, a single dish of Phoenix Tail Prawns cost as much as 1288RMB. Since there were ten dishes in all included in the price, it wasn’t too expensive if one averaged it out.

“Um.” Looking at the two characters of “special price” on the wall, Yuan Zhou felt an ache in his balls, yet still maintained a peaceful expression on his face.

“What does the note at the latter part means?” Zhou Jia asked seriously.

Having accepted the high price, she naturally needed to understand everything else. Only in that way could she give the customers satisfactory answers.

“Birthday, important treats, offering birthday congratulations to the old, and business dinners.” Yuan Zhou brought out all the important occasions he could think of straightforwardly.

“Um. Okay, I got it.” Zhou Jia nodded and took note of them carefully.

“Report to me separately when it’s ordered later.” Yuan Zhou said in the end.

“Okay. Let me go open the door first.” Zhou Jia nodded her head and then said.

“Go ahead.” After Yuan Zhou said that, he began to prepare the ingredients directly.

“Everybody, mealtime is here. Please enter the restaurant for your meal.”The clear and melodious voice of Zhou Jia could be heard outside the door.

In the meantime, Yuan Zhou murmured under his breath, “There you go. I’m now putting my money into the cash box. Lucky it’s the special price, otherwise, how much pain I will be in when I eat it!”

After saying that, Yuan Zhou put the money amounting to 38880RMB into the cash box directly.

Well, Yuan Zhou preferred paying by cash. When he wasn’t in a good mood, he could comfort himself by counting the money.

“Teacher, this person is really arrogant. Why do we have to line up since he promised to treat us?” It was Liu Tong, the most talented one of the two disciples that Zhou Shjie brought with him, that spoke.

Liu Tong was about only 25 years old. He was dressed in the light blue business suit with a white shirt inside and light-colored pants. His hair was sharply spiked like the spines of the hedgehog. He had an active character and spoke straightforwardly, but also knew how to behave appropriately.

The one ahead of him was his eldest fellow classmate Li Minghui. He was the first that followed Zhou Shijie to study cooking and he appeared quite steady and reliable, like a senior classmate. He was neither tall nor short and was dressed in a black business suit. On hearing the words of Liu Tong, Li Minghui didn’t seem to agree with him on the surface, but actually, he wholeheartedly agreed with him in his heart.

No matter who stood treat, they all sent the invitation beforehand respectfully

“It is his rules.” Chu Xiao crossed his arms against the chest and said coldly at the side.

“What kind of rules? Master Chu, do you know this chef?” Liu Tong immediately approached him and asked.

“Master Chu, do you know him?” Liu Minghui couldn’t help asking him, either.

Apart from their own teacher Zhou Shijie, the two disciples admired Chu Xiao the most. Now that he said that, they naturally attached more importance to him.

“No, I don’t.” Chu Xiao said decisively.

Speaking of which, they indeed didn’t know each other. They even hadn’t ever completed any sort of formalities like shaking hands or self-introductions.
