Chapter 154

“Is the broth the kind that is made with pig bones?” a customer asked curiously .

“The broth isn’t soup-stock . They are different,” Jiang Changxi shook her head and denied .

“What’s the difference?” This customer indicated that he didn’t really understand it .

“The main ingredient of the broth is the natfish . Do you understand now?” Jiang Changxi explained to them again .

“Broth is required to make the porridge . So what I ate before was rice gruel rather than the porridge?” The customers all had different reactions .

“It feels like that I gained some new knowledge again,” said a customer who had obtained new knowledge .

“Boss Yuan refreshes my outlook about foods every day,” said another foodie customer .

Every one of them was widely discussing the difference when Yuan Zhou carried the rice gruel ordered by Jiang Changxi to her .

“They are truly different . ” The customers craned their necks and took a look before leaving .

There were always many unsatisfactory events in life . Yuan Zhou disliked dealing with the matters unrelated to customers the most during the opening hours . However, someone just came at that moment .

The general manager of World Foodie Hotel entered the restaurant in line . As soon as he got seated and rested, Mu Xiaoyun went up and asked .

“What would you like to eat?”

“No, no need . Please tell your boss to come here,” the GM waved his hand while taking out a handkerchief from the pocket to wipe his forehead with the other hand .

“Please tell me what you want . My boss is a little busy,” Mu Xiaoyun answered vaguely, but she indicated that she wouldn’t call the boss here .

“What do you, a little girl, know about? This is a good thing . You just tell him that the boss of Chef Yu wants to talk to him,” the GM naturally wouldn’t lose his temper to a little girl, but just spoke in a hasty manner .

“You can tell me first . My boss is really very busy,” Mu Xiaoyun knew that her boss didn’t like to be disturbed during the opening hours .

“Never mind . Let me manage it myself . ” Having gotten plenty of rest, the GM disregarded Mu Xiaoyun and directly went up to Yuan Zhou .

“Boss Yuan, how are you doing recently? I’m the general manager of World Foodie Hotel . My surname is Cheng,” the GM Cheng interrupted a customer ordering dishes and started to introduce himself .

“What do you want to eat?” Yuan Zhou acted as if he hadn’t heard the GM Cheng . He didn’t answer him and just repeated what he had said just now .

The customer cooperatively answered, “Clear Broth Noodle Soup and Jin’ling Grass . “

“Ok, one moment,” Yuan Zhou agreed with a nod and then looked towards the slightly embarrassed GM Cheng .

“Whatever it concerns, please talk to me after the opening hours have ended . ”

“But this is an emergency . Could you let me tell you first?” GM Cheng had a lot of work to do every day . Besides, his boss, Xie Xuesi, was also waiting for his answer .

“No need,” Yuan Zhou refused squarely before wearing the mask and preparing to make the dishes .

GM Cheng definitely wouldn’t obediently wait for him to finish, therefore he spoke some ambiguous words every time Yuan Zhou came out to serve the dishes . In the end, he finally found that Yuan Zhou would take no notice of him unless he ordered some dishes .

After 7 or 8 minutes later when Yuan Zhou came out of the kitchen again, GM Cheng sat on his previous seat and said, “Let me order some dishes for my meal . “

“What do you want to eat then?” Yuan Zhou’s manner of speaking remained the same without any change .

“Let’s not waste our time . As you might know, I come here just to ask you if you have any interest in working in our restaurant . If you do, call this phone number and I will come out in person to welcome you,” while speaking, GM Cheng took out a name card and put it on the table .

“Thank you . If you are not ordering any dishes, please let the people waiting behind you dine here,” Yuan Zhou answered with a nod, but didn’t receive the name card . Afterward, he said politely .

“Now that you have known about it, I will take my leave . Personally, I welcome Boss Yuan very much,” at last, GM Cheng clearly expressed his point .

The white name card was quietly lying on the curved long table, but Yuan Zhou didn’t intend to pick it up .

“Xiaoyun, clear it away,” Yuan Zhou turned his head to Mu Xiaoyun and then said .

“Ok, boss,” being a little worried at first, Mu Xiaoyun instantly answered happily after Yuan Zhou gave his instructions .

The customers who were surrounding to watch the scene likewise stared at the name card closely .

With quick steps, Mu Xiaoyun went up and took the name card before walking out of the restaurant and throwing it outside .

Seeing that, the surrounding customers that were watching all then revealed a relieved smile .

The opening hours at noon soon passed . Just as Yuan Zhou prepared to shut the door after seeing Mu Xiaoyun off, a short-haired girl dressed in denim shorts and a lettered T-shirt that was riding an electric powered bike, parked at the entrance of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

“Hey, wait, wait for a moment,” while the girl was parking the bike, she shouted loudly .

Yuan Zhou paused for an instant and felt that it wasn’t him who was being called; therefore continued to shut the door .

“Boss, wait . ” The girl immediately ran up to Yuan Zhou .

“Yes?” Only then did Yuan Zhou stop his actions and ask indifferently .

“Boss, you are truly difficult to be encountered . I have been here for several times but it’s the first time I saw you . ” The girl appeared to feel quite hot . She fanned herself with one hand and, at the same time, spoke cutely .

“Humm, so what’s the matter?” Yuan Zhou nodded and signaled her to continue speaking .

“Let me first introduce myself . I’m from the take-out department of Meimei Group Purchase Website and have come here today to invite you, Boss Yuan, to join the group purchase on our website . ” The girl seemed to be quite young . She didn’t even enter the restaurant before she finished revealing her purpose, hence appeared to be a newcomer .

“I don’t do the group purchase . You got the wrong person,” Yuan Zhou said with an earnest expression .

“I know the dishes here are very expensive . But if you can offer some discounts, your business will become better . And moreover, many customers who don’t like going out could also eat your superb dishes,” the girl persuaded Yuan Zhou patiently .

“No take-out and no takeaway . This is my rule,” standing at the entrance, Yuan Zhou told her seriously .

“Are you worried about the matter of delivery? Our website employs many full-time delivery drivers and has strict requirements on time and speed . Your concerns are totally unnecessary . What’s more, you’ll definitely like the profit share that we provide . ” The girl took out a stack of files from her backpack and intended to show it to Yuan Zhou .

“No need . I have my own rules,” Yuan Zhou stretched her hand and refused . Before the girl could say something, he directly said, “Good bye . “

After that, he shut the door in one go .

“Sigh . Another refusal,” the girl got frustrated . She put away the files and got on the electric driven bike before leaving slowly .

Having shut the door quickly, Yuan Zhou returned to the kitchen and sat in his position . Then, he began to check the new mission released by the system just now .

That’s right . Just when Yuan Zhou refused the group purchase, the system released another mission .

The system displayed, “The upgrade mission starts now . “

[Upgrade Mission] Please refuse over ten take-out websites’ invitations for group purchase .

(Mission tips: Only rules that are obeyed can be genuinely considered to be rules . In order to stick to your rules, just feel free to refuse the invitations, young man . )

[Mission Reward] a chance at the lottery to gain dishes of a regional cuisine and a matched side dish for the upgrade .

(Reward tip: Please endeavor to complete the mission . )

[Mission Status] 1/10

“It’s really a simple and explicit description . ” Yuan Zhou felt rather speechless .

Having carefully checked the mission three times, he decided to ask until he fully understood it . “So this means that I will upgrade to the third level after completing this mission, right?”

The system displayed, “Yes . “

“And this mission has no time limit to be completed, right?” Yuan Zhou found it was a mission without any time limit and hence asked for confirmation .

The system displayed, “Yes . “

Yuan Zhou, “…”

Then, he started to study the mission carefully .
