Chapter 707 - Roll, Dear Beef (1/2)

Happy had a certain habit. When waiting for food to arrive, he enjoyed beating against his bowl with his chopsticks to create clanking sounds. Brain also had a habit. When waiting for food to arrive, he liked to drink beverages. One time, he waited half an hour for the food to arrive at a certain restaurant. In that time, Brain had drunk about seven or eight pots of tea. He was nearly turned into a sack of water by the time his food arrived.

But at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, both of them restrained themselves. Happy had once heard that the tableware of this restaurant was very expensive. He was scared that he might accidentally break them. As for Brain, he would only be drinking beverages provided by the restaurant. Unfortunately, Yuan Zhou’s restaurant only provided him a glass of water.

But then, it was also fortunate that the dishes did not take long to be served here. Steamed Rice Powder and Pork, Twice Cooked Pork, Jin’ling Grass, and two bowls of plain white rice were in front of them before long.

As the saying went, a potluck was equivalent to a war. It meant that a social gathering could be as complicated as a war. But today, both Happy and Brain reevaluated their understanding on the meaning of this saying.

They even felt like that saying might be a lie after all.

Their chopsticks started moving everywhere as Happy and Brain started fighting over dishes. Anytime one of them tried to pick up food, the other chopsticks would arrive to cut it off. Clanging sounds could be heard as the chopsticks clashed like swords.

They had never experienced such an intense meal before. Finally, Brain used a distraction technique to get a piece of Twice Cooked Pork. The piece of meat he got was balanced in terms of fat and meat, and was incredibly delicious. He spent quite a bit of time thinking of a term to describe this piece of meat he was eating but was unable to think of anything. After a while, he only came out with one term: fat yet not greasy.

“Chengdu School, a subcategory of Sichuan Cuisine. This is a true Twice Cooked Pork. After eating the first piece, one will want to eat the second piece, a third piece, and more.”

While speaking, his chopsticks did not fail to continue invading the dish, preparing to pick up a second piece of meat. Brain had already decided to bring that annoying friend here, to let him know how the food cooked by an authoritative person in the food industry should taste like.

“I knew it. Boss Yuan’s food will definitely be tasty,” Happy said, even while his chopsticks accurately shot out to stop Brain’s chopsticks.

By the side, Yin Ya was dumbstruck looking at them. Suddenly, she started wondering about something. What would happen if Wu Hai was thrown into the mix as well?

The restaurant had a harmonious atmosphere. Suddenly, a person that stood out from everything here appeared. He was dressed in a suit with his hair combed in a slickback. He asked, “Excuse me, are you Boss Yuan? I know that you will pay full attention when cooking. Can you give me some of your time after you are done cooking?”

The guy with a slickback expressed his intention with the shortest sentence he could. After saying that, he stepped outside the restaurant and started silently waiting.

It was apparent he knew how to conduct himself appropriately. The customers nodded when they saw this. Some were wondering if it was a culinary show inviting Yuan Zhou as their guest or something. After all, such invitations had been coming without stop ever since the exchange meeting.

The guy with the slickback entered the restaurant again after the final customer left and spoke his intention.

“Boss Yuan, I am the contact person of Roll, Dear Beef. You might have heard of this show before,” the guy with the slickback said and looked at Yuan Zhou, hoping that there would be some reaction from Yuan Zhou. Alas, Yuan Zhou was completely expressionless, seemingly waiting for him to continue speaking.

The guy with the slickback sighed. He wanted to borrow the reputation of that show to impress Yuan Zhou. He had not expected that Yuan Zhou would be one that did not care about the entertainment industry. He quickly readjusted his state of mind and continued, “Our show has high ratings and is an outdoor show. Some missions would be completed in each of the cities we go to. We are hoping that Yuan Zhou’s restaurant can be our filming location for this city.”

Roll, Dear Beef was currently a very popular outdoor variety show. It was in the first episode of the latest season. Each season, they would send some celebrities to a city to complete a series of missions. This time, they had arrived at Chengdu. Therefore, it was reasonable that they would come looking for Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

In fact, Yuan Zhou would watch the replay of this show each night. It was quite an interesting show. When he heard that his shop had been selected, he felt elated. Of course, to maintain his image as a prince charming, he maintained an expressionless face.

After the guy revealed his reason, Yuan Zhou did not give a clear agreement, yet he did not reject him as well. He told him he would give it some thought and give an answer tomorrow.

“I am definitely not agreeing because of the female celebrities,” Yuan Zhou calmly muttered when he thought of the pretty celebrities that would be on the show while lying on his bed.

Then, he fell asleep.
