Translator: Xiong Guoqi Editor: DesTheSloth

A serving of the Welcoming Set Meal was basically eaten by Yuan Zhou . Right now, only the price of the set meal was unknown to him .

"System, what’s the price of the set meal?" Yuan Zhou asked curiously .

The system displayed, "This set meal is a variety of the seat charge① . The price for each serving will be shown on the price list at noon tomorrow . "

"You can’t even tell me now?" Yuan Zhou felt rather speechless .

The system didn’t answer him this time . It seemed to be reluctant to tell Yuan Zhou .

However, Yuan Zhou wouldn’t give up so easily . Soon he opened his mouth again, "If you don’t tell me the price, I won’t need to pay for this serving, right?"

Before he said that, Yuan Zhou first checked the cash in the drawer and the balance in his bank account . He even confirmed the numerical digits after the decimal point .

With that excuse, Yuan Zhou didn’t believe the money-happy system still wouldn’t tell him the price . Even if it didn’t tell him directly, Yuan Zhou could also work out the price of the set meal in a reverse direction after the money was deducted .

A smile appeared on the face of Yuan Zhou, who was quite complacent about this terrific idea .

The system displayed, "20 RMB for each serving . "

As anticipated, the system reported the price to him in order to charge him .

"Humm . With that price, I can afford it," the usual expressionless face was suddenly filled with a happy smile .

It was unknown if the system would hold the grudge and scam him again next time .

Suddenly, Yuan Zhou recovered from the bliss and said, "System, is the price of 20 RMB too cheap?"

Nonetheless, the system didn’t have any reaction .

"All right . I might as well prepare to start the business," Yuan Zhou pulled the clothes straight and said carelessly .

After all, he didn’t need to absorb any cost for the dish . Yuan Zhou loved the business without cost the most .

Having cleared some parts of the restaurant, Yuan Zhou pulled open the door . At that moment, the customers would soon arrive to drink .

After that time, Fang Heng also became a regular customer of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant . He was first a regular customer of drinking liquor and then he started to savor the dishes .

However, he was quite dissatisfied with the rule of not providing dishes while drinking . But who did he think Yuan Zhou was? He was the Compass and his rule was to follow the rules .

Therefore, Fang Heng’s protest ended up with a failure in the end .

Nonetheless, that didn’t really affect Fang Heng coming to draw the lottery every day and the reward was naturally a pot of Bamboo Liquor worth of 5888 RMB .

Fang Heng only managed to get the reward twice .

. . .

On the next early morning, Yuan Zhou ate 4 Duck Oil Sesame Seed Cake without a break along with a bowl of iced soybean milk that he had prepared with the soybeans provided by the system .

Of course, his own breakfast had to be more diversified . While eating the sesame seed cake, he drank a mouthful of the icy soybean milk comfortably .

When he realized the time was almost up, Yuan Zhou began to open the door . As expected, Mu Xiaoyun was waiting at the door tamely . After running in a long distance, she carried a flush on her face, which let the young girl appear more beautiful and lovely .

"Morning, boss," she might have recalled that Yuan Zhou would treat her today, hence Mu Xiaoyun greeted him with embarrassment .

"Come on in," after a nod, Yuan Zhou turned around and went back to the kitchen .

After dishing up the Duck Oil Sesame Seed Oil, Yuan Zhou found Mu Xiaoyun was still standing at the usual place uneasily .

"Come and sit here . You are a customer right now," Yuan Zhou signaled Mu Xiaoyun to sit at the middle of the long table .

"But . . . . . " before Mu Xiaoyun finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yuan Zhou .

"There are only five minutes left before the business time starts," Yuan Zhou said seriously .

"Ok . Sorry to bother you, boss," Mu Xiaoyun didn’t want to affect the business, hence went up and sat down soon .

"Just eat it," Yuan Zhou set down the sesame seed cake and began to prepare the breakfast .

The breakfast today was naturally the Duck Oil Sesame Seed Cake, with only 95 pieces left .

It was the first time for Mu Xiaoyun to eat Yuan Zhou’s dishes ever since she worked here . Immediately, she understood clearly why the customers were all fond of eating here .

"Boss, it’s sooooo delicious," with a mouthful of the sesame seed cake, Mu Xiaoyun complimented repeatedly, speaking with a lisp . Now she finally understood why so many people came and waited in line .

"Humm," Yuan Zhou indicated that he had heard her with a nod . Then he continued to prepare the breakfast .

By then, there had been customers waiting in line outside the restaurant .

The first several people were all from the Gourmet Backup Group . The group was filled with Mu Xiaoyun’s messages with the content that Boss Yuan would treat her to the Duck Oil Sesame Seed Cake . Therefore, they didn’t feel surprised about it .

Others who weren’t in the Gourmet Group nevertheless felt puzzled . There happened to be one right now .

"Look, somebody is eating inside . But isn’t it not the opening hours?" A customer waiting after tens of people asked with puzzlement .

"That’s true . There are still three minutes left . Compass never breaks his own rules," this customer seemed to have a deep understanding about Yuan Zhou’s rules .

"But someone is indeed eating inside . Wait, wait . Is it Xiaoyun?" This customer stretched out his neck and eventually saw Mu Xiaoyun who was eating in the restaurant .

"Has Xiaoyun saved enough money?" The customers were slightly curious .

With the friendly thought of sharing the big surprise with others, the person who was ahead of them and happened to know the truth said, "No, Boss Yuan is treating . He is treating Xiaoyun to the sesame seed cake . "

"Ho Ho . I’m awake today," the customer revealed an expression of "Don’t joke with me" .

Last time, few people knew about Yuan Zhou treating others in his spare time . This time, however, was different . After Mu Xiaoyun’s excited advertisement in the Gourmet group, all group members got to know about that .

The influence was nevertheless more substantial .

"I feel it should be a clear and sunny day today and it’s not likely to rain," a customer knowing well of Yuan Zhou’s rules looked up at the cloudless sky seriously .

"Xiaoyun has definitely saved enough money, as a sesame seed cake is not so expensive," this customer must have a stomach of a foodie . When he spoke of the words of sesame seed cake, he couldn’t help but swallow some saliva .

"It is said by Mu Xiaoyun herself that Boss Yuan is treating her to that," a customer from the gourmet group said affirmatively with a smile on his face .

"What the fu*k?" The customer who had just talked about the weather suddenly made a sound to himself .

Another customer beside him seemed to understand, saying, "It must be the sound of your worldview breaking apart . "

"You are right . Actually I think I have a good-looking face, too . Will Boss Yuan possibly treat me to one?" The customer suddenly stroked his own face and then said confidently .

"Even Yin Ya has never succeeded," a customer tried to frustrate him .

"Then I believe Boss Yuan definitely has a good reason to treat Xiaoyun," the customer said with a resolute and decisive tone .

"He truly has . It’s said that Boss Yuan has obtained the qualification to be listed on the gourmet map because Xiaoyun endeavors much to publicize for him earnestly," a customer from the gourmet group affirmed the statement that there was a reason and then explained to them .

"That makes sense now . After all, Boss Yuan is exactly the Compass . " The customer let out a sigh of relief .

All the discussions during the breakfast in the street were unknown to Yuan Zhou . Anyhow, he always believed that he was a magnanimous and charming man .

With a good mood, Yuan Zhou decided to serve a new dish, the Spiced Egg .

As the Spiced Egg was boiled and prepared with the stew ingredients and the earthen pot, the flavor seemed to be unique . And the ingredients were excellent due to their freshness . Nonetheless, as the time was limited and he needed to make preparations beforehand, the dish was only available to be eaten at noon tomorrow .

Therefore, they could only smell the taste today without any chance to eat it . It was simply a torment for those foodies . After all, the stew ingredients were originally very fragrant and became much yummier with Yuan Zhou’s secret recipe .

Torturous . . .
