Chapter 581 (1/2)
“Go, go, go. I don’t want to go to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant today. Let’s go to the roast duck restaurant over there. The Roast Duck Rice there is said to be very good.” As soon lunchtime arrived at noon, Ma Zhida pulled Huang Ye out.
“What’s wrong?” Huang Ye asked with slight puzzlement.
“Never mind. I just have an internal injury as I eat too frequently in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant recently.” Ma Zhida revealed a look of heartache and covered the region of the heart with his hand.
“Are the dishes not good? But I think they are very delicious. They don’t give me stomachaches nor make me feel uncomfortable. Besides, didn’t you often eat there before?” Huang Ye became more puzzled.
“An internal injury means internal bleeding and the internal bleeding means the wallet is bleeding. You understand now, right?” Ma Zhida touched his own wallet and said sadly.
“Yeah, I can’t agree more.” Huang Ye realized what he was talking about finally. His wallet was supposed to be bleeding, too.
“So let’s go to eat Roast Duck Rice today.” Ma Zhida emphasized again.
“Ok. Since we didn’t manage to eat the Roast Goose, the Roast Duck is also a nice choice.” Huang Ye said honestly and frankly.
“Hey, don’t say that out loud.” Ma Zhida gave a look at Huang Ye angrily.
“Alright, got it.” Huang Ye nodded the head.
The two people just walked out of the company and then arrived at the gourmet street they often visited during normal times.
The street was quite boisterous. After all, there were so many CBD buildings around here and the white-collar workers inside all came here for meals. Therefore, the restaurants were all hectic once mealtimes arrived.
“Here it is. Let’s go inside. The business of this restaurant couldn’t be better.” Ma Zhida and Huang Ye walked to a restaurant called Roast Duck with quick strides.
“Is it because of Boss Yuan’s Roast Goose?” Huang Ye was still immersed in Yuan Zhou’s Roast Goose.
“I guess so. Anyway, this restaurant’s business is very good.” Ma Zhida shrugged.
When they arrived, the restaurant had been full of customers just as expected, but the shrewd boss also laid several foldable chairs and tables outside the door.
At that moment, somebody happened to stand up and prepared to leave. With a speed of fighting for food in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, Ma Zhida took the seats swiftly along with Huang Ye.
Of course, the position where Ma Zhida got seated was the clean side. The remaining two positions had just been occupied by the previous customers and hadn’t been cleared yet.
“Boss, two bowls of plain white rice and half a Roast Duck.” Ma Zhida ordered the dishes quickly and loudly.
“Okay. One minute, please.” The boss took a paper sheet in his hand and had the wallet tied around his waist. On hearing that, he answered readily and wrote the order down before he sent it to the kitchen.
It was very busy at noon, so strangers would come to share the table as a square table usually could hold four people.
After he reported the order to the kitchen, the boss immediately came over to clear the table.
“What do you two want to eat?” There arrived new customers. While clearing the table, the boss asked them.
“A bowl of plain white rice and one-third of a Roast Duck.” One of the two customers, who had a flaunty haircut, said at once.
“Me, too. A bowl of plain white rice and one-third of a Roast Duck.” A man dressed in a black cotton-padded jacket said at the side right after his friend.
“What? One-third of a Roast Duck?” The boss thought he had misheard something. What the hell was one-third of a Roast Duck?
“Yes. One-third of the duck. Half a duck is a little more than necessary and an intact one is too much.” The man with a flaunty haircut said affirmatively.
“I’m sorry. We don’t sell one-third of a duck. You can choose either half or an intact one. How much do you want?” The boss explained enthusiastically with his tone unchanged.
“How can you not sell one-third of a duck? What if girls can only eat one fifth of a duck?” The man with a flaunty haircut knitted his brows and said.
“Well, I’m sorry, but we only have these two kinds of portions for sale. Or else, one fourth of a duck is also acceptable, but the price of the duck leg and duck wing is different.” The boss felt he could almost start sweating in this cold winter, thus he explained again hurriedly.
“I only want one-third of a duck. I don’t see any difficulty in doing this way. You can just slice it and split it.” The man with a flaunty haircut said with ease.
“Exactly. Boss, you really haven’t advanced with the times. Nowadays, this eating method is very popular, one-third or one fifth, etc.” The man dressed in the black cotton-padded jacket also chimed in at the said.
“Is there this kind of eating method now?” The boss was a little confused.
