Chapter 546 (1/2)

However, Yuan Zhou had truly overestimated the capacity of his box. In just half a day of that afternoon, the paper slips almost overflowed from the carton. During that time, the five piles of blank paper prepared by Yuan Zhou had already been used up.

The remaining was prepared by the customers voluntarily and everybody was unprecedentedly enthusiastic about this activity.

Besides, they even started to call up their friends and some also make comparisons.

“Have you heard of that? Boss Yuan says he will cook the characteristic delicacies from our hometown. Even thinking of that makes me drool.” While taking the documents in her arms, a girl with a ponytail said to her colleague beside her in an office.

“You are mistaken. Undoubtedly, he’s going to cook the delicacies from my hometown, Wuzhong. But you are not from Wuzhong.” A short-haired girl beside her immediately contradicted her.

“How could that be? He’s apparently going to cook the delicacies from my hometown, Huizhou.” The ponytail girl said, being reluctant to show weakness.

“You are both mistaken. Boss Yuan says he will choose one and cook it.” A man that passed by couldn’t bear anymore, thus he said that directly.

“What do you know? I have gone there to vote for the delicacies from my hometown?” The ponytail girl immediately held up her head proudly and answered.

“Humph. Me, too.” The short-haired girl also revealed a look of shrewdness.

“You are so proactive!” The man sighed with emotion and said.

“We are not the only people. I saw you also vote.” The ponytail girl unmasked the man right away.

“Hey-hey. If only Boss Yuan can cook the delicacies from my hometown. I’d be very proud of that.” The man stroked his own head and said with embarrassment at once.

“How could that be? It will definitely be the one from my hometown.” The short-haired girl immediately contradicted him.

“No, no, no. I think the delicacies from my hometown conform to Boss Yuan’s requirements best.” The ponytail girl shook the head and then said affirmatively.

“It might be the delicacies from my hometown.” The man felt it was not appropriate to participate in their debate, but he still believed he would be more likely to win.

Such kind of debates took place many times within a day in the company, not to mention the debates on the internet.

Everyone had the honor of being chosen by Boss Yuan now. After all, Boss Yuan’s craftsmanship was there for all to see. If he chose the delicacies from one’s hometown in the end, the person would feel very proud. Besides, he could also eat the delicacies from his hometown in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

Most importantly, Yuan Zhou would have cooked the delicacies because of him. Even thinking about that made people excited.

The consequence was that the box had been full before dinner time commenced.

“Alright. If I choose one, I will cook it directly tomorrow. Thank you all.” Yuan Zhou stood in front of the carton full of papers and said earnestly.

“Okay.” It was said by those who had voted for their delicacies.

“These people really move quickly. I haven’t voted yet.” Of course, it was said by those who hadn’t got time to vote.

Then, Yuan Zhou carried the box and walked into the restaurant.

When Shen Min greeted the customers who came for the liquor after the dinnertime, Yuan Zhou took a seat in the kitchen and began to check the recommendations.

Along with the sound of “Dong Dong Dong”, the footsteps passed to him. It was Shen Min who finished the work on the second floor.

“Boss Yuan, can I help you? I read quickly.” Shen Min stood steadily for a while and then asked.

“No, you don’t need to. Go upstairs and do your homework. The final exams are coming very soon.” Yuan Zhou refused directly without even raising his head up.

“Never mind. Exams in the college aren’t so difficult.” Shen Min shook the head and said earnestly.

Of course, Shen Min didn’t tell the truth as she really wasn’t that clever. It cost her all her efforts just to keep up with the courses and meet the passing score, unlike Zhou Jia who can get very good scores in the self-study examination even if she had dropped out of school.
