Chapter 524 (2/2)
“What’s the signature dish of this Boss Yuan?” Liu Jianan asked carefully.
“Signature dish? It seems you are really here for the very first time. Let me say this. I haven’t seen a single dish that Boss Yuan can’t cook well.” Ma Zhida was quite proud when he said that.
“He’s good at both Chinese dishes and western-style dishes.” Having thought for a little while, Ma Zhida added.
“Thank you for telling me that.” Liu Jianan thanked him very carefully and then left again.
“Damn it. This guy left again. I originally intended to teach him some skills to line up.” Ma Zhida said regretfully.
However, Ma Zhida wanted to teach him the skills only because he was a talkaholic rather than anything else.
After Liu Jianan received the answer that he had wanted, he directly returned to the hotel nearby to sleep. On the way there, he grabbed a bite and prepared to taste Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship carefully in the evening.
After all, it was impossible for him to sleep well in Yanfeng Village with the living conditions there. He was a person who had been spoiled from childhood.
Having slept for a whole afternoon, Liu Jianan arrived at the door of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant full of vigor. At that time, customers had started to line up there.
“Tsk! So many people.” Liu Jianan went up hurriedly to line up.
“Why are you guys all lining up here instead of going to the door?” Liu Jianan asked, refusing to stay idle.
“We are lining up for the number tickets. The number tickets from 1 to 20 are only available five minutes before the restaurant commences business. The remaining tickets can only be received after business starts every day.” It was the tall and slim man that maintained the order at the side who explained that.
“Oh, okay, okay.” Liu Jianan nodded his head, indicating that he understood.
The procedures of lining up, receiving the number ticket, waiting and then entering the restaurant cost him almost one hour.
“It’s really not easy to eat this meal.” Liu Jianan signed with emotion when he sat in the chair.
“Hello. What would you like to eat?” The soft voice of Zhou Jia sounded by his ear.
“What are the signature dishes in your restaurant?” Liu Jianan naturally remembered Ma Zhida’s words, but he still wanted to ask by himself.
“All dishes on the menu of our restaurant are the signature dishes of my boss.” Zhou Jia explained gently.
“Is he so confident?” Liu Jianan pushed his glasses upward and said with a manner of disbelief.
“Just order whatever you like. What do you want?” Zhou Jia nodded the head and then said confidently.
“Okay. A bowl of Clear Broth Noodle Soup, a small plate of beef and a serving of Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork. That’s all.” Although Liu Jianan wasn’t good at tasting, these few dishes were all his favorite and he could anyway distinguish if they were delicious right away.
“Alright. The total price is 1164RMB. We insist on payment first and food later.” Zhou Jia reported the total price and then said.
“Alright.” When he heard the price, Liu Jianan said with a seemingly calm look.
In his heart, however, he was greatly shocked as the amount was almost his half a month’s living expense. When it occurred to him that the chef was at the same level with Mr. Ma, however, he didn’t feel the dishes were expensive anymore.
In just a little while, the dishes were served to Liu Jianan one after another. After he started to eat, he totally forgot that he came here to check the taste. Instead, he just concentrated on eating his fill blissfully.
“Delicious. It’s way too delicious.” While eating, Liu Jianan still sighed with emotion.
There wasn’t a lot of tasty food in Yanfeng Village. In his words, he had forgotten the taste of delicious food.
But now, the Clear Broth Noodle Soup was refreshing and chewy; the beef was spicy and hot as well fresh and delicious; the vermicelli in the Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork had an abundance of broth inside and the minced pork tasted incomparably fresh and palatable. As a result, Liu Jianan could do nothing but concentrate on eating.
Once he finished the meal, Liu Jianan wiped his mouth and said.
“Master Yuan, could you please come to my home and cook a birthday banquet for my grandpa? Please.” Liu Jianan stood at the middle of the curved long table and said to Yuan Zhou with a resolute tone while looking at him.
Once he said that, he attracted the attention of all people in the restaurant. However, they just took a look at him before they turned their head back.
Apparently, they had all been used to such kind of requests.
After all, they would come across several rash fellows like that every few days in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.
