Chapter 524

When Mr . Ma said those words of agreement, Liu Jianan was washing clothes for this old man like an obedient wife .

The courteous reception he received was far worse than that of Yuan Zhou . After all, he didn’t have convincing cooking abilities, thus he had no choice but to work for him like a manservant .

“Who told you I would go with you?” Mr . Ma looked at Liu Jianan as if he were looking at a fool .

“But you agreed just now . ” Liu Jianan had been quite obedient after being lectured for so long . He said with a tone of grievance .

“Um . I did agree to your request . ” Mr . Ma’s gaze was indicating that Liu Jianan became more foolish .

“Then what do you mean by agreeing?” Liu Jianan was smart this time and thus asked straightforwardly .

“You go to this place and find him . Let him cook . ” Mr . Ma threw a piece of paper to Liu Jianan .

On the paper was Yuan Zhou’s address written with a vigorous and forceful handwriting . It was apparently written by Mr . Ma .

“What do you mean?” Liu Jianan revealed a look of puzzlement .

“His craftsmanship is no worse than mine . ” Mr . Ma snorted coldly and said .

“Probably, better than mine . ” Of course, Mr . Ma didn’t say that out .

“Then . . . ?” Liu Jianan felt perturbed . What should he do since there was only an address? Mr . Ma didn’t tell him the name or phone number and didn’t even tell him what relationship they had .

“You tell him at that time that it was me who requested you to go there . ” After saying that, Mr . Ma turned around and left with his hands clasped behind his back .

“Ok . Thank you, Mr . Ma . ” Liu Jianan was a little happy and also a little perturbed .

“Get out of here . You can’t even wash the clothes clean . ” The way Mr . Ma answered him was even worse .

However, Liu Jianan only left after he washed all the clothes .

This was the reason why he appeared here now .

He had really sacrificed much in order to prepare a birthday present for his own grandpa .

“Ding” . The silver machine emitted a slight sound and then there appeared a line of words .

[There are no more vacant seats for lunch today . Please come in the evening . ”

“Damn it . What the hell is it?” Liu Jianan looked at his own ID and the machine, revealing his discontented .

“Hey, don’t be in such a rush . I haven’t finished my words . ” Ma Zhida’s voice came from a distance .

“Um?” Liu Jianan was still depressed . On hearing that, he looked at Ma Zhida with a stupefied expression .

“You come here . ” Standing beside his seat, Ma Zhida wasn’t likely to go over to him . Therefore, he just waved his hand to Liu Jianan to give him a signal .

“What’s the matter?” Liu Jianan came over to him obediently and asked him .

“I was just about to tell you there are definitely no seats at this hour of the day and you better come in the evening . ” Ma Zhida said that in one breath .

It was Liu Jianan’s turn this time to look at Ma Zhida with an expression of “You are speaking nonsense . “

“Young people are indeed too hurried . ” Ma Zhida sighed with emotion .

Ma Zhida was older than Liu Jianan by only two or three years, but because one was still a college student and the other had entered society, they naturally looked different .

“I’m sorry . I want to ask if you feel that the dishes here are delicious . ” Liu Jianan didn’t really care about anything else except this question .

Of course, it was also the reason why he still didn’t leave immediately when he saw Yuan Zhou’s restaurant appearing so ordinary at first sight .

He was very clever . He prepared to try Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship personally and then invited him to cook for his grandpa’s birthday party .

“You are simply speaking nonsense . Regarding Boss Yuan’s dishes, the real problem isn’t if they are delicious, but if you have the luck to eat them . ” Speaking of that, Ma Zhida really had to say .

It was known that even Ma Zhida himself couldn’t get the dishes sometimes even if his company was very close to the restaurant . The reason was because there were too many people .

“What’s the signature dish of this Boss Yuan?” Liu Jianan asked carefully .

“Signature dish? It seems you are really here for the very first time . Let me say this . I haven’t seen a single dish that Boss Yuan can’t cook well . ” Ma Zhida was quite proud when he said that .

“He’s good at both Chinese dishes and western-style dishes . ” Having thought for a little while, Ma Zhida added .

“Thank you for telling me that . ” Liu Jianan thanked him very carefully and then left again .

“Damn it . This guy left again . I originally intended to teach him some skills to line up . ” Ma Zhida said regretfully .

However, Ma Zhida wanted to teach him the skills only because he was a talkaholic rather than anything else .

After Liu Jianan received the answer that he had wanted, he directly returned to the hotel nearby to sleep . On the way there, he grabbed a bite and prepared to taste Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship carefully in the evening .

After all, it was impossible for him to sleep well in Yanfeng Village with the living conditions there . He was a person who had been spoiled from childhood .

Having slept for a whole afternoon, Liu Jianan arrived at the door of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant full of vigor . At that time, customers had started to line up there .

“Tsk! So many people . ” Liu Jianan went up hurriedly to line up .

“Why are you guys all lining up here instead of going to the door?” Liu Jianan asked, refusing to stay idle .

“We are lining up for the number tickets . The number tickets from 1 to 20 are only available five minutes before the restaurant commences business . The remaining tickets can only be received after business starts every day . ” It was the tall and slim man that maintained the order at the side who explained that .

“Oh, okay, okay . ” Liu Jianan nodded his head, indicating that he understood .

The procedures of lining up, receiving the number ticket, waiting and then entering the restaurant cost him almost one hour .

“It’s really not easy to eat this meal . ” Liu Jianan signed with emotion when he sat in the chair .

“Hello . What would you like to eat?” The soft voice of Zhou Jia sounded by his ear .

“What are the signature dishes in your restaurant?” Liu Jianan naturally remembered Ma Zhida’s words, but he still wanted to ask by himself .

“All dishes on the menu of our restaurant are the signature dishes of my boss . ” Zhou Jia explained gently .

“Is he so confident?” Liu Jianan pushed his glasses upward and said with a manner of disbelief .

“Just order whatever you like . What do you want?” Zhou Jia nodded the head and then said confidently .

“Okay . A bowl of Clear Broth Noodle Soup, a small plate of beef and a serving of Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork . That’s all . ” Although Liu Jianan wasn’t good at tasting, these few dishes were all his favorite and he could anyway distinguish if they were delicious right away .

“Alright . The total price is 1164RMB . We insist on payment first and food later . ” Zhou Jia reported the total price and then said .

“Alright . ” When he heard the price, Liu Jianan said with a seemingly calm look .

In his heart, however, he was greatly shocked as the amount was almost his half a month’s living expense . When it occurred to him that the chef was at the same level with Mr . Ma, however, he didn’t feel the dishes were expensive anymore .

In just a little while, the dishes were served to Liu Jianan one after another . After he started to eat, he totally forgot that he came here to check the taste . Instead, he just concentrated on eating his fill blissfully .

“Delicious . It’s way too delicious . ” While eating, Liu Jianan still sighed with emotion .

There wasn’t a lot of tasty food in Yanfeng Village . In his words, he had forgotten the taste of delicious food .

But now, the Clear Broth Noodle Soup was refreshing and chewy; the beef was spicy and hot as well fresh and delicious; the vermicelli in the Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork had an abundance of broth inside and the minced pork tasted incomparably fresh and palatable . As a result, Liu Jianan could do nothing but concentrate on eating .

Once he finished the meal, Liu Jianan wiped his mouth and said .

“Master Yuan, could you please come to my home and cook a birthday banquet for my grandpa? Please . ” Liu Jianan stood at the middle of the curved long table and said to Yuan Zhou with a resolute tone while looking at him .

Once he said that, he attracted the attention of all people in the restaurant . However, they just took a look at him before they turned their head back .

Apparently, they had all been used to such kind of requests .

After all, they would come across several rash fellows like that every few days in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .
