Chapter 608 - Yuan Zhous Lanterns (1/2)

At around 10:00, a man dressed in a blue cotton-padded jacket parked his electric bike at the door of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

“Boss Yuan. Is Boss Yuan there?” The man shouted toward the inside of the restaurant.

“I’m here. What’s the matter?” Yuan Zhou walked out quickly.

“Boss Yuan, your parcel.” The man grinned and took out a parcel.

“Thank you.” Yuan Zhou received it and conveniently sighed his name.

“You are welcome. Please remember to give me a five-star rating,” the man said smilingly.

“Alright.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“Thank you.” After saying that, the man put away the receipt and then left quickly by bike.

Yuan Zhou held the box, in which the lanterns he bought was naturally packaged.

“Xi Xi Suo Suo”. With Yuan Zhou’s flexible fingers, he didn’t need a scissor at all to open the parcel.

“Um. A prince charming also opens a parcel quickly.” Yuan Zhou looked at the parcel dismantled neatly contentedly.

It suddenly occurred to Yuan Zhou that girls liked buying, buying, and buying so they naturally needed to dismantle parcels after they bought them. Since he could dismantle the parcels so quickly, he could naturally be a boyfriend at a prince charming level.

The adhesive plasters were peeled off one piece by another and were put at the side, however, the carton was still intact. The lanterns were disassembled, so he needed to assemble them by himself.

Being in the terminal stage of the obsessive-compulsive disorder, Yuan Zhou could even display an aesthetic feeling just from dismantling the parcel.

With high dexterity, Yuan Zhou assembled the lanterns quickly and held them up, preparing to hang them.

The lanterns bought by Yuan Zhou were very simple. They were a circle of brown wooden strips sparsely distributed outside; the paper inside was white while the light of the bulb was yellow; the wall of the lanterns was painted with the simple patterns of lotus flowers.

He moved the chair, got it plugged in and then turned on the lanterns. After he finished those actions, he had naturally attracted many onlookers to watch.

The happenings of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant caught a lot of attention from the people around it. Of course, they only watched the scene in their own stores, unlike the female of the nearby noodle restaurant. She walked to the store that Boss Tong had once owned previously without turning a hair.

Because she didn’t get along well with Yuan Zhou, she didn’t say anything.

“The electric wires must be placed inside. It will cause very serious problems if you get them wet.” The lame Fatty Wang, namely the boss of the hardware store in front, couldn’t help reminding him.

“Alright. Thank you, Boss Wang.” Yuan Zhou climbed up again and moved the electric wires inwards.

“Yeah, it’s good now. Then you can close the door easily too,” Fatty Wang nodded his head and said contentedly.

“You are right. Boss Wang, you really are capable.” Yuan Zhou climbed down the chair and said thankfully.

“Of course. I certainly know about this better than others. But it’s enough for you to have culinary skills.” Fatty Wang nodded his head complacently and then spoke about Yuan Zhou again.

“Um.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“But why did you hang the lanterns here for? You haven’t even hung up a shop sign.” Fatty Wang pointed at the conspicuous lanterns at the door and asked with puzzlement.

Yuan Zhou was originally accustomed to keeping his face taut. In front of these old neighbors, however, he appeared quite relaxed. Nevertheless, his face once again became taut.

Thinking quickly, Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of a faultless excuse. Of course, he attributed that to the missions the system had given him.

“Oh. A great master that tells fortunes told me that business can get better if I hang the lanterns here.” Yuan Zhou said calmly.

“A master that tells fortunes?” Fatty Wang revealed a puzzled look.

“Yes. He’s a famous fortune teller and told me that several months ago,” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said affirmatively.

“Those few days? So you went to look for the fortune teller?” Fatty Wang thought about a period of time where Yuan Zhou went to quite a few temples continuously and always came back with the scent of incense on his body.

“Yeah. I ordered the lanterns at that time and they only arrived now.” Yuan Zhou covered the loophole in his own words without a trace.
