“What would you like to have today?” Zhou Jia asked.

Zhou Xi might not know what Zhou Shijie liked to eat, but Zhou Shijie definitely knew what Zhou Xi liked to eat. Therefore, he would put a lot of thought into his son’s behalf when ordering.

“One Dongpo Pig Knuckle, one Jin’ling Grass, one Swedish Meatball, one Melt-In-The-Mouth Chicken Feet, and two plain white rice of the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine,” Zhou Shijie ordered without even looking at the menu. He was already a regular customer here.

The chicken feet and meatball were his son’s favorite food, or to be precise, these used to be his favorite food. Zhou Xi had been studying abroad for three years. His preference in food had long changed.

Thus, when Zhou Xi heard Zhou Shijie ordering those dishes, he shook his head but did not say anything.

“By the way, there’s Watermelon Juice as well, right? We are the first batch of customers to enter,” Zhou Shijie asked.

Zhou Jia nodded as she quickly wrote down the orders before asking, “One more glass of Watermelon Juice, right?”

Zhou Shijie nodded and paid using Apple Pay in a familiar manner. Zhou Shijie had always been using the most trendy phone, and in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, all sorts of payment applications were supported.

All the regular customers knew that there were three trendy old geezers among the restaurant’s customers. One was Zhou Shijie, and the second one was the Grandpa Jia, the rickshaw driver. One ought to know that not only could Grandpa Jia talk with Ling Hong about the NBA, he was even considering streaming recently.

That’s right. Grandpa Jia was considering doing a type of streaming that was very popular on the Internet as of late, outdoor streaming. Every day, he would use the birthday gift Ling Hong gave him, the high-end smart camera to stream outdoors.

Grandpa Jia’s stream was extremely casual. He did not bother intentionally talking to the camera nor did he care about the viewer count. He would faithfully stream him riding his rickshaw around every day.

As for the third trendy geezer, he was the leader of the three. But for now, we shall not talk about him. Back to the topic, after Zhou Shijie made the payment, Zhou Xi started grumbling about the expensive price.

“The product is worth the price. Look at the long line. If it’s really not worth the price, are those people all idiots?” Zhou Shijie said.

“It’s not like I have spoiled my brain from all the studying I have done. Of course I realize I won’t be the only smart person among so many people here. Even someone as learned as Yu Chu is here.” Zhou Xi continued, “But an observer will always have a clearer view of things. Sheep mentality is a very scary thing. I think the reason for the long queue is fame and marketing. Of course, I don’t deny that the taste of the food here is decent as well. After all, people that can afford the price here are no idiots.”

While Zhou Shijie and Zhou Xi talked, Yu Chu entered with his friend.

They were supposed to enter during the second batch. But two other customers that were colleagues had received an emergency call from their company. Thus, they rushed away after a simple meal of Egg Fried Rice. Hence, Yu Chu and his friend’s turn arrived earlier.

“We sure are lucky today,” Li Zi said eagerly. He was very excited as he was finally going to try the food of the legendary Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

Yu Chu nodded in agreement. Zhou Jia then came to take their order. After ordering and paying, Yu Chu sat back and started waiting for food.

The requirements for All-Fish Banquet had been written previously. It must be an actual banquet, and one had to give a one day notification. That was to avoid last minute bookings causing chaos.

Thus, the first dish of the All-Fish Banquet ordered by Yu Chu and Li Zi had arrived at about the same time as Zhou Shijie’s dishes.

Zhou Xi planned to first eat some vegetables. Just as he was about to eat some Jin’ling Grass, a familiar voice rang out nearby.

“In terms of the psychology of color, this Weaving Brocade Diligently While Wearing Winter Clothing dish is rich in color. The brightness is very effective in stimulating one’s appetite,” Yu Chu started seriously explaining to his friend.

“Don’t look down on the flat bottom plate used here with the mixed vegetables at the bottom. This is an embodiment of Boss Yuan’s cooking skills. That was because all the gravy has been absorbed. Thus, while eating, it will feel tender, succulent, and springy,” said Yu Chu while eating.
