"Everybody, do you have any request for this tiny restaurant?" Yuan Zhou suddenly asked on his own initiative .

"Request? Boss Yuan, I’m not blaming you, but your Chinese is much too poor . " Hearing Yuan Zhou’s word, Ling Hong said with a tone of contempt .

"Yes, it’s indeed a request . Do you have any?" Yuan Zhou asked seriously .

"I don’t have requests . But can I make a suggestion?" Ling Hong covered his forehead and said with a helpless look .

"A request is a request and a suggestion is a suggestion," Yuan Zhou explained primly .

"Ho Ho . Of course I know that and that’s exactly why I want you to say advice instead of request . " Ling Hong suddenly felt that Yuan Zhou might as well cook only . Communication seemed to be way too difficult for him to learn .

"Everybody, please tell me directly if you have any request . " Yuan Zhou straightforwardly neglected the annoying guy, Ling Hong, this time .

What a joke . It was the best occasion that he thought of for collecting requests of opening branch restaurants . Of course he had likewise organized the utterance by himself .

Ling Hong then choked . Other customers at the side had already been used to similar scenes and some even snickered while covering the mouth .

Every time somebody choked due to Yuan Zhou, they would have a weird pleasant sensation with the precondition that it wasn’t himself .

"Could you provide a little more amount for each dish?" Asked a customer naively .

"This restaurant is equally honest with aged and child customers . And the amount has no difference from that served by other restaurants," said Yuan Zhou seriously in response to this question .

"Yeah, of course, we know . It is because Boss Yuan cooks so well and we feel the amount is too little . " The customers were likewise quite skilled in praising others . Once the words were uttered, Yuan Zhou felt rather happy .

"Thank you for your compliments . What you just said indeed makes sense, but the amount will be maintained unchanged . " Yuan Zhou first expressed his gratitude and then refused the request of the customers .

"Boss Yuan, you are so proficient in the practice of getting moved and then refusing others . " The customer appeared fairly speechless .

"Humm, you are welcome," said Yuan Zhou naturally .

"I think it’s better to make some requests that are easier to reach . Of course, Boss Yuan, you have to tell us first if you will close the door after you collect them . " Ling Hong made a constructive suggestion this time while stroking the chin .

"No, I won’t . I’m just collecting the requests from you . " There was no other expression on Yuan Zhou’s solemn face .

"You sure?" Ling Hong didn’t have much confidence in Yuan Zhou concerning his moral integrity .

"Yes . " Yuan Zhou nodded the head and anticipated very much that he could collect some requests .

Then he checked the progress status of the mission completion conveniently . —-

[Main Mission] To become a regional gourmet representative (uncompleted)

(Mission tips: Being a minor celebrity can no longer satisfy your wild ambition . You must become a regional representative within one calendar month . Young man, I have faith in you . )

[Mission reward] To get promoted by one level up; one chance to draw lottery; an upgrade reward .

(Reward tips: for such a great reward, young man, go and endeavor to get it . )

"I’m afraid this mission can only be completed after the side mission," thought Yuan Zhou silently .

As for the side mission, it was smoother . He had completed parts of the mission by then .

[Side Mission] To collect 100 requests to open branch restaurants (uncompleted)

(Mission tips: one couldn’t be regarded as a master chef if no one applies for a branch restaurant . )

[Mission status] 28/100

[Mission Reward] A recipe of Dongpo Pig Knuckle

(Reward tips: a main course of Sichuan Cuisines, a must-have dish for a master chef . )

Seeing the reward, Yuan Zhou suddenly had a feeling of being moved . Men were all carnivores . For example, what Yuan Zhou often ate recently was the dish of Translucent Beef Slices .

"You can tell me your requests now . " Yuan Zhou revealed an earnest expression, indicating that he would listen to them carefully .

"You guys speak and I will listen," Yuan Zhou supplemented while processing the food materials .

Then, he received a succession of weird requests .

For example, "Boss Yuan, could you build a toilet? We wait for so long every day . " There were three physical needs that people couldn’t evade . The customer indicated that it was likewise very important .

"This restaurant is small, so I am unable to provide the toilet temporarily," answered him again .

"Boss Yuan, can you treat me to a meal?" a young girl asked boldly .

"No . " Yuan Zhou stared at her and refused bluntly . These cunning guys turned out to take this opportunity to

cheat his money

" . . . " The girl then became silent .

"Tsk-tsk . No wonder you have no girlfriend," said Ling Hong, being delightful in the misfortunes of others .

"You should think this way . If Boss Yuan has a girlfriend, she will naturally stroll around the streets and go shopping with him . What shall we do then?" another customer said lightly at Ling Hong’s ears .

"Damn it . That’s absolutely true . Boss Yuan, it’s good for you to be single . It’s healthy and environmental-friendly," immediately, another customer chimed in .

"I can provide toilet paper . "

"Two rolls . "

"I think Boss Yuan won’t find a girlfriend so easily in a short time . So don’t worry about that . " while stroking his chin, Ling Hong considered for a while and then said .

All the dialogues were heard by Yuan Zhou, but he didn’t take them seriously . He always believed that his EQ, craftsmanship and income were all very high . And so was his appearance when he wasn’t smiling . He was definitely the ideal Mr . Right for girls .

The father of modern psychology, Adler, once said that someone that praised himself everyday would become a perfect person .

Alright . This sentence was also made up by Yuan Zhou himself . However, he was quite faithful to that .

For the whole night, Yuan Zhou had collected only one weird request, not as satisfactory as he imagined .

However, at a place that Yuan Zhou had no idea of, some people were getting together and preparing to savor the dishes in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant . After all, the dishes were said to be awfully miraculous on the internet .

These people came to this city for both tours and delicacies .

They totally conformed to Yuan Zhou’s requirements . First, they came from other places; then, they loved delicacies . However, Yuan Zhou had no idea of that at that moment . What attracted him then was at the door .

"Good evening, Boss Yuan . " A young girl dressed in an orange-yellow sanitation worker’s uniform greeted at Yuan Zhou .

"Hi . You are early today . " Yuan Zhou nodded the head .

It was break time before the pub was to be opened . Standing at the door, Yuan Zhou was seen and greeted .

"Yes, I volunteered to help others do the cleaning today so that I can earn some more money . " On the tan face of the girl revealed obvious delight .

"Ok . How are the Chinese knots that I troubled you to weave?" Yuan Zhou knew that the girl was also selling handicrafts as her part-time job while doing the cleaning .

"Don’t worry, Boss Yuan . They’ll be finished soon . " while collecting the trash carefully, the girl answered .

"Sorry to bother you . " Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

"I should thank you for ordering so many products . " Hearing Yuan Zhou’s word, the girl straightened herself and thanked him earnestly .

"They are to be gifts . Take your time . It’s no hurry," said Yuan Zhou without blinking .

"Boss Yuan, your cooking is so good . Now, people on the street are becoming more and more . And even our boss knows our work is becoming more burdensome, hence increased our salary by 50 RMB . " With her eyes looking like a crescent moon, the girl seemed happier when she talked about her salary .

"Humm . " Yuan Zhou nodded his head lightly .

After only a few words, the girl left while collecting and sweeping the trash .

Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou saw her stop at the corner of the street .

Apart from an inconspicuous black Volkswagen parking there, there was nothing else . Yuan Zhou suddenly remembered that the car had been there for two days . In a little while, however, the girl continued to sweep the trash as if nothing had happened . Yet, it seemed that she worked even more carefully and earnestly .

Yuan Zhou turned around and went back into his restaurant . The girl was Huang Ling . She had once been invited by Yuan Zhou to work as an attendant in his restaurant, but she refused him . Only after that did Yuan Zhou order a batch of big and small Chinese knots . As for the reason, he would send them out as welfare .

As it was known to all that his business was booming, Huang Ling took the order earnestly .
