Chapter 326: They Are All Meatballs, Why Hurt Each Other Over T

“Wait . What did you mean just now, Mr . Li?” Liu Ruoyu was a little surprised .

“It’s what it literally means . You just go and prepare,” Li Li said earnestly .

“But didn’t you tell Manager Niu just now that you would serve the Red Wine Flame Steak in the evening?” Liu Ruoyu asked meticulously .

She didn’t want Li Li to compete against Yuan Zhou face to face . Niu Li had told her once that they came to open the restaurant because of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, therefore it was the best option to take evasive actions .

“What? You don’t agree?” Li Li knitted his brows and turned to look at Liu Ruoyu .

“Executive Chef Li, I don’t mean that . It’s just that Manager Liu will come again in the evening . ” Liu Ruoyu said cautiously .

“I know what I should do . You just need to go and prepare . ” Li Li stood up and left Liu Ruoyu there alone .

No matter what, he had shares in the restaurant and could be considered as one of the bosses . Therefore, he need not follow anyone’s orders though he might follow some advice .

Seeing Li Li say so, Liu Ruoyu naturally didn’t dare to disobey him . She answered with a nod and meanwhile asked with an inquiring tone, “Do we need to tell Manager Niu about that?”

“It’s up to you . I’m going to prepare now . ” Li Li didn’t really care about that . It was his freedom to do what he wanted to .

“Alright . Mr . Li, I’m going to arrange the kitchen range for this evening first and then tell Manager Niu about your decision . ” Liu Ruoyu said matter-of-factly .

“Um . ” Li Li nodded the head . After he tidied up his apron, he walked toward the kitchen .

Only until he walked away did Liu Ruoyu let out a sigh of relief and then mutter with a low voice, “What will Sister Niu think of that?”

However, that was not what she needed to worry about . The most important thing for now was to prepare the kitchen range .

That’s right . Li Li decided to make the Swedish Meatball on site this time to increase some fun and visual enjoyment .

“Head chef, what dish will you prepare in the evening?” The plump and happy main chef walked to him and asked eagerly .

“Swedish Meatballs . Go to prepare some beef shank, the kind without tendons, and a piece of pork shoulder for me,” Li Li said naturally .

“Ok . Good job, head chef . How can we lose to a tiny restaurant?” The plump chief chef balled his fist and then said earnestly .

“Of course . Go and prepare now . ” Li Li likewise nodded the head confidently .

For this war that as devoid of any smokescreens, Li Li never believed that he would lose . He had his own pride and hence selected the same dish to accept the battle .

In his opinion, Yuan Zhou choosing to serve the new dish today was a declaration of war against him .

Out of the self-respect and pride, he would accept the battle and would further chose the same dish to fight back . This was the pride of Li Li .

After lunch time ended, Yuan Zhou walked to the entrance and looked toward the new restaurant . When he saw there weren’t many people outside the western restaurant, he returned to his restaurant with an aloof manner .

Having closed the door, Yuan Zhou grinned, “There’s definitely no way out for this guy . “

After all, the current imposing manner of the western restaurant had greatly diminished compared the one on the opening ceremony .

Yuan Zhou was very clear about his actual strength while the other party seemed to be not . They surprisingly opened the restaurant on the same day when he served this new dish . The consequences of not understanding his abilities was that they would be severely defeated .

Then, Yuan Zhou went back to the second floor to wash up and get some rest . Practicing in the past few days had consumed much of Yuan Zhou’s vigor .

Time passed quickly . The night fell quickly . Yuan Zhou’s business time was fixed while Li Li’s wasn’t .

Therefore, the business time of the western restaurant commenced earlier . Hence, there were still many people that went inside and have a look curiously .

Curiosity was the common ground of humans .

Compared with the long line of customers at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, however, the people that went to the western restaurant seemed much less .

Even the seats weren’t fully occupied yet . If the customers that had lined up at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant came to eat there, at least two restaurants could be stuffed .

The different timing of the two restaurants resulted in a situation that people who weren’t likely to get their turn in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant would walk over to the western restaurant . After all, having meals were inevitable .

Coincidentally, one of them was Ma Zhida who had tasted Yuan Zhou’s Swedish Meatball at noon . He was regarded as a senior foodie that had tasted all the new dishes of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

“What the hell! It’s so scary . I intended to come again, but now I don’t see any hope . ” Ma Zhida shrugged to his friend beside him and said helplessly .

“Yeah . I guess those who didn’t dare to come at noon are all here . Look, how long the line is!” The friend of Ma Zhida had a very interesting name, Gao Shuai (literally means tall and handsome) . Therefore, Ma Zhida called him Gao Fushuai (literally means tall, handsome and rich) every time . “

“It seems that we won’t be able to eat his dishes today . Let’s go to the new restaurant for a try . ” Ma Zhida came to Li Li’s western restaurant naturally according to the principle of proximity .

Once they entered the restaurant, the enthusiastic and considerate service made them slightly happier . They contentedly found a place where they could see Li Li cook .

“Is it an open kitchen?” Gao Shuai asked curiously .

“Hi, Mr . Handsome . It’s actually not . As it’s our first day, our head chef specially offered the reward so that you can see how this dish of Swedish Meatball is cooked . ” The waitress called him the name that was just negotiated and explained for a while carefully .

“Mr . Handsome? Ha ha ha . ” Every time Ma Zhida heard somebody call Gao Shuai like that, he wanted to laugh . There he started now .

Gao Shuai gave him a look of contempt and ignored his attitude . He was originally a tall, handsome and rich guy anyway .

“Swedish Meatball? You also have this dish? Then get us two of that and two servings of steak . ” Gao Shuai instantly reacted and directly ordered .

“The Swedish Meatball over here? Do you know if it’s authentic?” When Ma Zhida heard him order the dishes, he stopped laughing and then said worriedly .

“Let’s just taste it randomly to satisfy a craving for good food . ” Gao Shuai had very explicit expectations to Li Li’s craftsmanship . It was merely a food that could at least fill their stomachs .

Li Li had already started to prepare the dishes . Therefore, it took no more than 10 minutes before the dishes were carried to them .

The two of them started to eat while talking and joking, leaving the waitress at the side alone .

“The taste is not bad . We can come to eat next time when we can’t get our turn in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant . ” Ma Zhida said naturally .

“Forget it . Dishes here are not cheap . I might as well save the money and go to Boss Yuan’s restaurant . ” Gao Shuai refused flatly .

Just when they started to order dishes, he found the dishes of this restaurant were fairly expensive and was even as expensive as that of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

“Well, ok . ” When Ma Zhida heard the dishes were not cheap at all, he immediately changed his mind .

Having eaten for a while, Ma Zhidao suddenly summoned the waitress, “Come over, please . “

“What’s the matter? Brother Ma, what do you need?” The waitress asked gently with her sweet voice .

“You are a little slow in serving the dish . Look, I’m almost finishing up the meal, but our dishes still haven’t been served . ” Ma Zhida pointed at the table and said discontentedly .

The waitress looked carefully again and again at the table and then asked with puzzlement, “May I ask which dish hasn’t been served?”

“The Swedish Meatball . It hasn’t been served . It’s too slow . ” Looking at Li Li who was still cooking dishes, Ma Zhida said .

“It’s indeed a little slow . ” Gao Shai also echoed with a nod .

“But these two servings are the Swedish Meatball and you have just eaten them . ” The waitress didn’t get angry . She just said while pointing at the two plates .

Ma Zhida and Gao Shuai uttered with one accord, “Ha?”
