Chapter 672 - The Meal Is on Me (2/2)

“Don’t be so sure yet. Don’t let me catch you ordering an extra bowl after you tried it later.” Jiang Changxi had a crafty smile on her face.

“Don’t worry. That won’t happen.” Yu Chu was still insisting.

As far as he was concerned, it wasn’t like he hadn’t tried anything good before. He merely felt that eating was a huge waste of time. Therefore, food like oats that could be eaten quickly would suit him more.

“We are eating Tangyuan tonight. Each person will have two bowls, one sweet and one salty. There are six Tangyuans per bowl. I believe everyone knows the rules. If you can’t finish that much food, let me know in advance,” said Yuan Zhou after he finished his preparation.

“Tangyuan is a good dish. It symbolizes reunion.” Mr. Wei commented.

“That’s right. I love eating Tangyuan,” Wei Wei said with a smile.

“Two bowls.” Wu Hai was straightforward.

“I only want one bowl of sweet Tangyuan.” Sister Wan said.

“Since I already had my dinner, I’ll have a bowl of salty Tangyuan first.” Although Ling Hong believed that he couldn’t eat anymore, he still tried ordering one bowl first. He could always order more later.

“Will there be any meat in the salty Tangyuan?” Jiang Changxi was more concerned about this.

“Minced meat.” Yuan Zhou nodded.

“One bowl of salty Tangyuan for me.” Jiang Changxi was a carnivore. After all, she did not have to worry about getting fat.

“Give me one bowl of mixed sweet and salty Tangyuan.” As Jiang Changxi was edging her on with her eyes, Yu Chu had no choice but to make her order as well.

“Wait, that won’t do, right?” Jiang Changxi frowned.

Perhaps this dish wasn’t meant to be mixed like this. Granted, Yuan Zhou had not forbidden them from mixing it up like this as well.

“Yes, you can. But by ordering that way, you won’t be allowed to order a second serving.” Yuan Zhou nodded.

“I have never planned to do that in the first place. Thank you, Boss Yuan.” The first sentence was merely vaguely muttered to himself, while the second sentence was spoken clearly to Yuan Zhou.

“We can actually order it this way?” Wei Wei became interested as she was still in conflicted on whether to order the salty or sweet Tangyuan.

After all, she wanted to try both, yet she couldn’t finish two bowls of Tangyuan. Therefore, she was very conflicted. If a mixed order was allowed, it would suit her perfectly.

“Two bowls, I want the bowl with meat served first.” Naturally, Chen Wei was one who would eat two bowls.

“One bowl. Sweet,” Wang Nan said.

Yuan Zhou did not start cooking immediately after everyone finished their order. Rather, he started speaking, “The meal tonight is on me.”

“Huh?”

“Is the world ending tomorrow?”

“What in the world?”

“This Boss Yuan must be a fake one.”

“Yeah, I feel like I’m looking at a fake Boss Yuan here.”

“Did you find a girlfriend, Boss Yuan?” This was said by Chen Wei who thought of love all the time.

All the customers were shocked by Yuan Zhou’s declaration. They all stared at him in disbelief.

“The meal is on me. After all, it’s the Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner.” Yuan Zhou explained warmly, a side of him rarely seen.

“This is awesome! I get to eat Tangyuan, and it’s free on top of that!” Wei Wei was the first to recover from the shock and said cheerfully.

“Is this boss usually very miserly?” Yu Chu asked when he saw everyone’s look of disbelief.

“Not very miserly. Very very miserly. But rather than miserly, inflexible is the word that suits him more. He is super inflexible,” Jiang Changxi stated solemnly.

“Oh, if it’s a free meal today, will the food still be good?” Yu Chu was somewhat worried.

After all, a miserly person had suddenly become generous. Yu Chu who had never been here immediately started worrying about the quality of the ingredients. Although he wasn’t interested in cuisine, he had no interest to eat bad food.

Regardless of what they thought, Yuan Zhou ignored them. He turned around and started cooking.

After all, it was getting late. It was about time to eat.
