Chapter 700 - Frozen Duck (1/2)

“Wow, the Egg Fried Rice is indeed gold,” Unworried Mulberry looked at the bright and glossy golden fried rice and remarked.

Unworried Mulberry’s current expression was one commonly seen in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. A lot of people that were here to try the food would initially be very cautious.

And then, they would start chomping on the food without a care as to how they looked while eating. Thus, Unworried Mulberry’s cautious manner of eating was not really unconventional here.

The only reaction he got was some people muttering about how there was yet another disbeliever coming to test the food here.

“I reckon it must be another food critic,” Ma Zhida whispered beside Wu Hai.

“Um,” Wu Hai gave a nonchalant reply before fixing his gaze on Ma Zhida’s fried rice.

“Come on, you will snatch even Egg Fried Rice? You can order one yourself, right?” Ma Zhida felt like face-palming himself and said helplessly.

“No, if I order one more, I will have to eat one less dish. If you give me half your Egg Fried Rice instead, that will no longer be an issue,” Wu Hai seriously said while stroking his mustache.

“What am I supposed to eat if I give you half?” Ma Zhida was so stunned by these righteous words that he started laughing instead.

“You don’t eat much anyway. You might as well eat less to lose some weight,” Wu Hai sized up Ma Zhida and seriously said.

“Ho ho,” Ma Zhida sneered and pulled his plate nearer to himself and started eating while protecting it with his left hand.

He was obviously no longer willing to speak to Wu Hai and was also pretending to not know him.

Wu Hai would never try hiding the fact that he was trying to steal someone’s food. Therefore, the two of them did not lower their voice while conversing. Because of that, Unworried Mulberry heard what they said clearly.

“This fake customer is quite dedicated to his craft,” Unworried Mulberry sized up Wu Hai and muttered.

“Mr. Wu, your dish is here.” Zhou Jia arrived to save Ma Zhida who was guarding his food.

“These are the Dongpo Pig Knuckle, Phoenix-Tailed Prawns, Herbal Tea Eggs, Dual-taste White Oil Tofu and Braised Pork with Soy Sauce. You still need to wait a bit for the rest of your dishes to arrive,” Zhou Jia said as she gave Wu Hai everything on her tray.

“Um, thank you, Jia Jia,” Wu Hai said while staring at his food, a serious expression creeping onto his face.

“You’re welcome,” Zhou Jia shook her head and walked back to the counter to wait for more dishes to come out of the kitchen.

“Wow, this is quite a ruthless tactic. This person does not look rich. The dishes he ordered will probably cost him several thousand RMB already. If there are more dishes to come, does that not mean a single lunch of his is worth about 10,000 RMB?” Unworried Mulberry cursed inwardly, disbelief on his face.

If the regular customers hadn’t seen Wu Hai paying for his food everyday and knew what his job was, they would also find it hard to believe that Wu Hai was actually capable of treating Yuan Zhou’s restaurant as his personal dining hall and had all his meals here.

Just look at what Wu Hai was wearing. During summer, he would be wearing short pants and short-sleeve t-shirts that were clearly what one would wear to bed. During winter, he would be wearing some woolen sweaters with coral markings, sometimes paired with pajamas and a pair of slippers.

He looked every bit like a shut-in who never left his house. Of course, not even a regular shut-in was as uncaring of their personal appearance as Wu Hai was.

It was no wonder that Unworried Mulberry refused to believe that Wu Hai could afford what he ordered.

“Isn’t it quite obvious that he’s a fake customer?” Unworried Mulberry sneered before picking his chopsticks up.

He decided to ignore Wu Hai, the fake customer. Eating the food would be the most straightforward way to obtain proof for his theory.

A snapping sound emitted as Unworried Mulberry took a picture of the Egg Fried Rice.

After finished taking pictures, he started eating.

One had to admit that this Egg Fried Rice looked incredibly good. Even the chefs of those five-star hotels wouldn’t be able to make such beautiful fried rice.
