Chapter 651 - Becoming A Scapegoat (1/2)

“Did you read the newspaper?” the young man who sold fried dumplings said excitedly to the woman who sold pancakes with cracknel inside at the side.

“Yes, I did. Boss Yuan is quite awesome. I noticed that quite a few newspapers reported about him,” the woman answered while she was making pancakes neatly. Of course, she wore a face mask when she talked.

“Exactly. Boss Yuan did a good job,” even the girl who was buying the pancakes with cracknel at the side nodded her head and chimed in.

“That’s right. That cocky Tengyuan always holds his head high, but Boss Yuan has ways to make him lower his head,” said the young man who sold fried dumplings proudly.

“Of course, that person isn’t so awesome as Boss Yuan. I heard that one of Boss Yuan’s ancestors was a royal chef,” said the woman that sold pancakes with cracknel affirmatively.

“No, no, no. One of my nephews gets along very well with Chef Yuan’s dog. I heard from him that Chef Yuan is a natural chef. He was already holding a knife when he was three,” the girl that waited for her pancakes broke the news mysteriously.

“I also heard so. The ancestor of Chef Yuan was surnamed Pao. Otherwise, how could he make so many customers crowd around and wait here for so long just to eat a meal? Which one of them do you think would know about that Tengyuan?” Another person that sold deep-fried dough sticks and soybean milk beside them chimed in.

“If only I can taste Boss Yuan’s craftsmanship! After all, he is a talented royal chef, whom only the former emperors could have.” The young man that sold fried dumplings looked at the door of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant expectantly.

“Come on, man. You can afford it, but just can’t bear to spend the money. Boss Yuan’s dishes are all excellent, but the problem is that they are much too expensive.” Speaking of that, the woman that sold pancakes laughed.

“That’s just the way it is. But I have promised my son to take him here and taste Boss Yuan’s Egg Fried Rice if he can rank first in his exams,” another middle-aged man that sold scallion cakes at the side said smilingly.

“You really don’t mind spending money on your kid,” the woman that sold pancakes said enviously immediately.

“When I get a girlfriend later, I will take her over here to taste the delicacies,” the young man that sold dumplings also said earnestly.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou became a talented royal chef that started holding knives when he was three and sliced vegetables when he was five.

“Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling”. There came the sound of the bicycle bell from outside the street. It was the urban management staff on the bike.

At that time, the opening hours of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant also ended. Mu Xiaoyun and Zhou Jia were seeing off the last customer.

“Go, everybody, go now. There’s an inspection today. Don’t stay here. Move your vehicle’s away.” It was indeed Zhou Yu. While riding the bicycle, he told those pedlars to leave.

The timing was good. Zhou Yu basically started to let them leave after business ended. He didn’t drive them away roughly as soon as he arrived.

This could be said to be Zhou Yu’s habit. He didn’t come to this place is it wasn’t unnecessary and if he was required to come, he tried to come after their business was almost over.

“Why is there an inspection again today? Thank you for your help last time,” the young man that sold fried dumplings knitted his brows, but said courteously to Zhou Yu.

“Never mind. Go now.” Zhou Yu shook his head lightly.

“It’s not the weekend. Why are you guys patrolling again?” The woman that sold pancakes grumbled.

“We know Boss Yuan’s restaurant resumed operations again and you guys will definitely come. My superior said he would come very soon. Please hurry up.” Zhou Yu shrugged and stopped the bicycle. He just watched the pedlars that filled the side street.

“Huh, that’s really annoying. You guys come to inspect three times a day. I haven’t even done much business,” a pedlar complained while gathering up his stuff.

However, these pedlars moved quickly and neatly. Obviously, they were quite deft and it wasn’t the first time that they did so.

“All right, everyone. Stop complaining and move quickly,” Zhou Yu shouted at them.

Instead of going up and saying something more, he just stayed there for a while and then rode his bicycle away.

Mu Xiaoyun caught sight of the whole process and revealed a curious look on her face. She just stood there and looked at those pedlars.

Not long after Zhou Yu left, the pedlars also emptied this street swiftly. Suddenly, the street became empty.

“Boss, is that the new urban management staff?” Mu Xiaoyun asked curiously.

“Um. He came to work after you left for school,” said Yuan Zhou simply.

What he meant was that this man started to supervise this area after Mu Xiaoyun left for school.

“He’s so strange. I feel he isn’t very mild and he doesn’t look like a gentle person. But why did he tell the pedlars about the information?” Mu Xiaoyun pointed at the empty street and asked.

“Because there are many inspections,” said Yuan Zhou without thinking.

On hearing this question, Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of the event last time.

The situation was more or less the same.
