Chapter 539 (1/2)

Having been recognized by someone similar to his father, Yuan Zhou felt both helpless and slightly honored. However, he declared his actual age seriously. After all, he still needed to find a girlfriend one day.

If he was mistaken by others that he had such an old son, that would be a fatal problem.

The Master Chef Restaurant opened by Yuan Zhou was located out of the way at a corner of the city, but many customers still came for meals in an endless stream every day. They came and went in haste, which made the side street bustling and prosperous.

Naturally, it was the same today as well, except that the weather was extraordinarily good. The sun rose very early this winter day and it felt fairly warm.

“Yo, Wang Ye. Why not come with me for lunch today? The roast fish I ate that day was so delicious.” A few days later, Ma Zhida invited Wang Ye again.

“You know I only like eating the rice noodles.” Wang Ye smiled and said, as usual.

“Is it really interesting to eat the rice noodles every day? Why can’t you eat something else for a change for lunch since you’ll still eat the rice noodles in the evening?” Ma Zhida said to him with an arm around his back.

“I like this restaurant, just like the way you like that restaurant.” Wang Ye smiled and said.

“But I heard that restaurant is closed these two days.” Ma Zhida was talking about last weekend, but today was Monday.

“Yeah, but it’s Monday today.” Wang Ye said smilingly.

“Alright. I’m going for lunch now.” Ma Zhida shrugged and then he headed towards Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

As long as Wang Ye was on duty, he liked going to eat Sixian Rice Noodles. On the weekend, however, he never went there.

The rice noodle restaurant that Wang Ye liked and Yuan Zhou’s restaurant weren’t on the same street, therefore, they parted with each other whenever they walked downstairs.

In the middle of the old-fashioned residential buildings was a back alley. Although it was narrow and small, it was quite clean. Many stores were opened on both sides of the alley and they were all basically eateries, which were specially opened for those office workers.

And almost all of them sold the fast and convenient food, which was also suitable to the fast-paced life of the workers. It can be summarized with in word, “quick”.

“I didn’t eat the noodles yesterday, so I can put two fried eggs inside today. The fried eggs cooked by that fat boss are fairly good.” Wang Ye thought blissfully.

That’s right. As the boss of the Sixian Rice Noodle Restaurant was very fat, the customers usually called him Fat Boss. And Wang Ye was no exception.

The Sixian Rice Noodle Restaurant was also seated in the middle of the back alley. Just in a little while, Wang Ye arrived.

However, the scene in front of him was a little unfamiliar because the door was still closed.

“Did they get up late?” Wang Ye was puzzled.

He stayed put for about three minutes. Seeing the door did not seem to be opening anytime soon, Wang Ye decided to go for the neighboring eateries and ask what happened.

The neighboring store was a milk tea house and the boss was a young girl. She had a plain appearance, but her smile was very sweet.

“A cup of hot black tea, please.” Wang Ye first ordered a cup of drink.

“Alright. Coming soon.” The girl answered and immediately started to prepare for him.

“Why isn’t the rice noodle restaurant beside you open?” Only then did Wang Ye started to ask the proper business.

“You mean Sixian Restaurant? The fat boss quit.” The girl answered randomly.

“Pardon? He quit? What does that mean?” Wang Ye felt surprised in the heart and continued to ask.

“I don’t know. I just heard from him that he quit the business.” The girl shook the head.

Then, Wang Ye felt a little stupefied. Why did the boss suddenly quit the business since his business was so good?

When he continued to ask the reason, the girl also shook the head with a look of puzzlement.

After he paid the money, he took the black tea and walked to the Sixian Rice Noodle Restaurant. He attempted to see if there was any notice pasted on the door.

However, he was disappointed in the end. The door was as clean as before yet with only a little dirt on the outer surface. Other things remained the same. The shop sign was still there. The only difference was that the door was closed and it wouldn’t be opened anymore.

“What the heck.” Wang Ye shook the head helplessly.

Wang Ye drank a mouthful of the black tea to warm his stomach and then realized that it was the time to eat.
