Chapter 251: Surprising Price

Having gotten up early in the morning, Yuan Zhou felt fairly spirited . The small wound on his hand was likewise no longer hurting . He was quick with his hands while picking the tremella and was even more professional than an experienced worker .

The tremella was very beautiful . The first one that Yuan Z hou picked looked like a peony . It was plump and tender with its color milky white and besides, was pretty and glossy . The whole petal-like part was tottering in Yuan Zhou’s hands .

The tremella that Yuan Zhou picked for his own use didn’t have any connective tissue . Once it was washed clean, it could be used directly .

Therefore, Yuan Zhou couldn’t wait to soak and clean it and then carefully wash the impurities away . Only after that did he get down to the preparations of the dish .

Different from other ingredients, the tremella couldn’t be cut by knives . He could only tear it down with his hands . Only in that way could the tremella be separated as per its intrinsic textures and would greatly enhance the taste of the dish .

A little while later, Yuan Zhou prepared a plate of tremella salad and also cooked a bowl of Clear Broth Noodle Soup to match the dish for his breakfast .

The tremella salad was served on a dark green plate . The spiral laces around the edges of the plate made the tremella look quite beautiful .

This time, Yuan Zhou only put the royal jelly and tremella in the salad . Therefore, it gave people a feeling that the dish consisted merely of some milky white tremella and white and transparent cement-like taffy .

A salad naturally wouldn’t have much fragrance . But when Yuan Zhou approached the plate, he could smell the scent of the pear blossom with a slight hint of tremella .

"There’s definitely no problem . " Yuan Zhou picked some tremella with the chopsticks and started to eat it confidently .

A fresh and brisk texture with slight softness and a delicate fragrance rushed into his mouth cavity in an instant . The slight spiciness of the royal jelly brought about a layered flavor to the bland tremella while the sour was perfectly mixed with the intrinsic bland taste of tremella .

"Perfect match," Yuan Zhou gulped down a mouthful of the tremella salad and said with satisfaction .

"I indeed have talent in regards to culinary skills . " While eating the Clear Broth Noodle Soup along with the tremella salad, Yuan Zhou let out a sigh with emotion .

After the meal, Yuan Zhou’s bowl was exactly the same as that of other customers . It was so clean that he could even see his reflection with it .

"System, what’s the price of this dish?" Asked Yuan Zhou on his own initiative .

His limited level didn’t allow him to set the price by himself .

The system displayed, "The dish belongs to the reward of the system, so I won’t participate in setting the price . Nor will I share the income . "

"What the hell! Did I get up the wrong way or lose my eyesight?" Yuan Zhou stood up from his position immediately and murmured incredibly .

Having checked the contents carefully for quite a few times, Yuan Zhou finally confirmed the system indeed said that it wouldn’t share the income . To a money-grubber like Yuan Zhou, such a matter was truly more important than anything else .

"It’s the first time I set the price . I think a superior dish such as this deserves a good price . " Yuan Zhou muttered to himself while stroking his forehead and looking at the clean bowl .

After quite a while, Yuan Zhou found that he really wasn’t clear about the market price of the dish . After all, as a man, he seldom bought tremella to make soup .

While thinking, he took up the phone and suddenly caught sight of a random-number generator APP that could provide a number randomly by shaking .

"Let me use this one to decide . " Yuan Zhou almost gave himself a thumbs-up gesture for his cleverness .

He turned on the APP and directly began to shake it for a number . Good fortune did visit Yuan Zhou . He got a very good number, which matched his to-be position of the Primary Master Chef .

Therefore, Yuan Zhou prepared a small paper as large as a piece of dried tofu and pasted it on the menu . The location of the paper was selected skillfully, by the edge of a lotus flower .

"It’s really a nice position," having pasted it well, Yuan Zhou said contentedly .

After solving the problem, Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief . It was still early and not suitable to exercise immediately . Having thought for a while, Yuan Zhou continued to study how to make the honey tremella .

. . .

Time is like the sand in one’s hand . The tighter you hold, the easier it goes away .

For the whole morning, Zhou Jia failed in noticing the small paper pasted by Yuan Zhou . Many visitors were basically regular customers . Even if some were not, they had at least been here for one or two times . However, none of them discovered the new dish developed by Yuan Zhou .

Yuan Zhou, likewise, wasn’t prepared to remind them .

Zhou Jia inquired Yuan Zhou with a caring tone when she saw the dish of Phoenix-Tail Prawns still marked with "unavailable" during the lunch time .

"Boss, hasn’t your wound recovered yet?" Zhou Jia asked with concern .

"Temporarily, no . " Yuan Zhou nodded the head .

Instead of asking more, Zhou Jia just looked at Yuan Zhou with a caring manner .

The bustling lunch time soon passed . The day would soon be over, but still no one discovered Yuan Zhou’s new dish .

Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou still didn’t intend to remind them . Even in the evening when the business time was longer, Yuan Zhou didn’t remind the customers either .

"Zou Jian, is it really necessary to read the outer wrapping of a chewing gum for so long? It’s going to be our turn . " A girl’s clear and melodious sound interrupted Zou Jian’s reading .

"Honey, I’ll finish it very soon," Zou Jian sped up reading while saying that .

"When can your obsessive compulsive disorder be cured?" The girl pouted discontentedly .

Zou Jian had a weird habit of reading anything related to him .

For example, the outer wrapping of the chewing gum or various packaging . Of course, they must have something to do with him, who was a new and graceful victim of obsessive compulsive disorder .

At that time, Zou Jian likewise finished reading the outer wrapping . He put it down hurriedly and began to coax his girlfriend .

"Honey, it’ll be cured soon, right away . " Zou Jian held his girlfriend’s hands and guaranteed to her earnestly .

"Humph . You’d better bear your guarantee in mind . " The girl believed in his words as always .

As soon as they entered the restaurant, however, Zou Jian started again .

The conspicuous menu on the wall instantly stimulated Zou Jian’s obsessive compulsive disorder .

"Can I ask what you would like to eat, please?" Seeing the two people looking at the menu earnestly, Zhou Jia went up and asked .

"Wait a moment . I will order our dishes immediately . Honey, you go and get yourself seated . I’ll be there right away," Zhou Jian continued to read the menu after saying that .

"Humph . Again . Just let him be . " The girl let out a humph and then turned around and got seated .

When Zou Jian realized that his girlfriend wasn’t really angry, he was rest assured and continued to read it .

The obsessive compulsive disorder made Zou Jian read the menu on the wall very carefully, therefore he caught sight of Yuan Zhou’s new dish .

"Honey, there’s promotion here," said Zou Jian with a surprised expression .

"That’s impossible . If there’s any promotion, the scene would be awfully grand," said the girl with certainty .

Just look back upon the huge crowds of people when Yuan Zhou offered the discount last time . It was quite a different scene from now .

"It’s real . Look here . " Zou Jian dragged his girlfriend going up and checked the small paper that discovered by him .

The conversation between them aroused everybody’s attention .

"Is there really a promotion?" The customers asked in surprise .

"Little girl, what promotion do you have?" The quickest way was of course to ask Zhou Jia .

However, Zhou Jia was also puzzled .

"Boss, what’s the promotion?" Zhou Jia asked nervously while looking at Yuan Zhou .

"You can find it on the wall . " Said Yuan Zhou calmly .

"Alright . I’m going to check right now . " Immediately, Zhou Jia looked toward the wall and then became even more muddled .

Although dishes in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant well deserved the prices, they were never cheap .

At the lower part of the menu, however, there appeared some characters as small as flies, saying, "New Dish Served . Honey Tremella, 1 RMB / Serving . "

"Boss Yuan, did you omit three zeros behind the number 1?" A customer pushed his jaw back and asked earnestly .

"No, I didn’t . That’s the price . " Yuan Zhou revealed a calm manner .

Of course, Yuan Zhou definitely guaranteed that he didn’t have the repulsive habit of watching the customers’ jaw-dropping shock .
