Chapter 733 - Things That Interest Yuan Zhou (1/2)

Qin Xiaoyi and Gao Fan walked and talked.

“Shameless Wu is quite good. Are we going there again today?” Gao Fan was a little worried.

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. We can order Egg Fried Rice, which is hard to grab and more economical,” Qin Xiaoyi said with high morale.

“But we couldn’t grab anything to eat from him.” Gao Fan remembered that he had only grabbed a little bit of Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork from Wu Hai last time and nothing more.

“Don’t worry. We have practiced the grabbing skills jointly. Let’s use it today and grab all of his dishes,” Qin Xiaoyi said with great confidence.

“All right. You take your cue from me later.” Gao Fan was also reluctant to admit defeat; therefore, he nodded his head and agreed to Qin Xiaoyi’s scheme.

While talking, the two people arrived at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

That’s right. For the grabbing skills that they had practiced jointly, Gao Fan was in charge while Qin Xiaoyi was responsible for crushing Wu Hai with his imposing manner. That was a rational division of labor.

But did they think Wu Hai was so easy to cope with?

What a joke! The people that could cope with Wu Hai didn’t exist at all, even if there were two of them.

During dinnertime, there were not only Qin Xiaoyi, Gao Fan and Wu Hai, but also the old man who lived on driving the rickshaw that came occasionally.

Since there were too many delicious dishes, the old man could only afford to eat here once or twice every month. Therefore, he appeared a little hesitant every time as he wanted to try every dish.

But unfortunately, he didn’t have sufficient funds. It was lucky that the old man was rather optimistic in life, just like what he often said when he told stories, “The amount of grain one decides to cook depends on the size of one’s pot.”

So, he only felt hesitant when he lined up. However, when he went into the restaurant, he wasn’t hesitant anymore. Instead, he just ordered what he wanted.

“A cup of Lemon Water, a serving of the Thousand Layer Mantou and a serving of Smoked Fish Silver Thread Noodles.” The old man tried to order different dishes every time. He also thought about the necessity to save some more money for a serving of Dongpo Pig Knuckle.

After all, a simple serving of Dongpo Pig Knuckle cost 2080RMB, which equaled to the old man’s monthly salary.

When business was good, he could earn a little more than over 3000RMB, but that didn’t happen frequently in a year.

“All right. They’ll be served very soon.” Zhou Jia nodded her head and took note. Then, she turned to greet other customers who hadn’t ordered their dishes.

“There you are, grandpa!”

“Is business good today?”

“I have been waiting for you for a while. Since you told the ghost story last time, I have been afraid for more than half a month. Don’t tell that kind of story again.”

At the sight of the old man, many people turned to greet him. Some of them liked him very much because they enjoyed his stories while eating. Of them, there was a very strong but timid man. Though he was as muscular as a bodybuilding champion, he was quite a coward. He liked listening to the old man’s stories best and listened quite carefully each time. However, he was terrified last time as it was a horror story concerning spirits.

The old man was quite spirited and hence responded to him smilingly. In his own words, how could he possibly be unwell since he worked every day as an exercise and then was able to eat something delicious from time to time?

The several dishes of Lemon Water, Thousand Layer Mantou, and Smoked Fish Silver Thread Noodles weren’t very complicated. Therefore, Zhou Jia carried the dishes to him just in a little while.

“Grandpa, please eat slowly and tell the story slowly.” Though Zhou Jia didn’t have as much work as ordinary restaurant waiters, she still didn’t have much free time. As a result, she couldn’t hear the full version of the stories most of the time.

Quite a few times, the old man had told retold the stories to Zhou Jia again in private. Therefore, the two people, one old while the other young, had a good relationship.
