Chapter 824 - Only Strong Teeth Are Truly Good (1/2)

The restaurant sank into silence. Only slurping sounds and the sounds of Wu Hai hissing due to the food being too spicy could be heard. Just like that, the three focused on eating the Wontons.

Of the three, Zhou Jia was the most reserved. However, after she ate her first piece of Wonton, the little reservation she had vanished as she completely engrossed herself in the delicacy before her.

The pepper soup made by Yuan Zhou had two colors, a layer of green on the top half and a layer of red chili oil at the bottom half. The plump Wontons ebbed up and down in the soup and dark green garlic leaves could be occasionally seen as well.

At first, Zhou Jia couldn’t bear eating the Wontons as they looked too pretty. But the sight of her boss and Wu Hai slurping nonstop as they ate combined with the enticing aroma waffling into her nostrils made her scoop a piece of Wonton with her spoon.

The spoon was a porcelain spoon and the Wonton was white in color as well. A layer of red chili oil was wrapped around the Wonton together with some shreds of garlic leaves. The aroma being emitted was incredibly enticing.

A majority of people would bite the part with the stuffings within when eating Wontons. Zhou Jia was no exception. Carefully, she bit down.

“Onom.” She directly chewed off half the Wonton and couldn’t help but to hiss.

The Wonton was freshly cooked and was extremely hot. And the moment the initial scalding heat passed, a spicy sensation appeared, enticing Zhou Jia to continue chewing.

And with her continued chewing, her tongue was exposed to even more sensations. A numbing sensation appeared, as if the tip of her tongue was being scrubbed. Instantly, her entire mouth went numb. But at the same time, the spicy sensation assaulted her taste buds without a stop. When chewing, a mildly fresh and sweet broth exploded out of the tender and springy beef stuffing of the Wonton.

“Hiss, it’s so so delicious!” Zhou Jia cried out with her eyes opened wide.

“Haha, I told you,” Wu Hai remarked smugly, as if he was the chef.

“Um, eat more,” Yuan Zhou said in a casual manner.

“Um, um,” Zhou Jia heavily nodded her head before finishing the other half of the Wonton with a single bite.

“His, it’s so hot!” Zhou Jia covered her mouth with one hand and fanned her mouth with the other hand.

“Eat less if it’s too hot,” Wu Hai immediately said with an expression of deep concern.

Zhou Jia quickly lowered her hand and protected her bowl cautiously.

“What are you doing? Do I look like I will snatch the food of girls?” Wu Hai said with a look of contempt before he gazed toward Yuan Zhou’s bowl.

That’s right. Wu Hai still had his principles. He would not snatch the food of girls. And Yuan Zhou was not a girl.

Alas, Yuan Zhou was seated too far from him. Wu Hai couldn’t even reach his bowl. And with Zhou Jia’s vigilance, he stood no chance against her as well.

The three thoroughly enjoyed the meal of Wontons. Of course, the one who had enjoyed the most was Zhou Jia. However, she remained in a bad mood the moment she finished her Wontons.

“There will be a 10% discount tomorrow,” Yuan Zhou said as he started cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks.

“Huh?” The statement astonished Zhou Jia so much she forgot her bad mood.

“What? Discount? Doesn’t that mean your restaurant will be super crowded again?” Wu Hai cried out in surprise.

Both Zhou Jia and Wu Hai had cried out for different reasons. Zhou Jia cried out because ever since this restaurant was opened, apart from during the opening, no discounts had been offered.

As for Shameless Wu, he cried out because he was scared that there would be a lot of people fighting over a seat in the restaurant with him. The only source of joy for Wu Hai was the fact that Ling Hong would not be able to enjoy the discount tomorrow.

Ling Hong’s loss was a sense of joy for Wu Hai.

“Um, discount,” Yuan Zhou nodded. When he was sick, the customers had all sent their gifts to him and had shown great concern on him. In return, he had decided to offer a discount.

Although Yuan Zhou’s EQ wasn’t particularly high, he still knew that kindness should always be returned.
