Chapter 556: 556

“If I want others to say the dishes are cheap, I definitely need to ask them by myself . ” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself .

Yuan Zhou stood up and looked around at the kitchen and then at those top-grade food ingredients .

“Now that others are asked to say from their hearts that the dishes are cheap, I can’t ask that too straightforwardly . I must be very subtle . ” Yuan Zhou thought that inwardly .

For the whole afternoon, Yuan Zhou studied the mission repeatedly before he began to sculpt . After that, he just waited to start his opening remarks when the customers arrived .

Fortunately, time passed more quickly when people were more serious .

Not long after that, the dinnertime was about to commence .

Zhou Jia had already waited outside the restaurant . As for the customers, they naturally also started to line up and wait .

As for the ingredients for dinner, Yuan Zhou had also got them ready . After he patted the sleeves slightly, he stood steadily and waited for the customers to enter the restaurant .

“The first ten customers, please come on in for your meal . ” Zhou Jia’s gentle voice sounded at the door .

“I’m hungry . ” The customers patted their stomach and entered the restaurant with satisfaction .

Of course, the first ten customers all had a sense of superiority . They entered the door of the restaurant deliberately in the face of others behind them who were envious of them in various ways .

However, this was not the first or second time . Wu Hai had experienced this matter many times, thus he totally ignored it .

Though Yuan Zhou was thinking of something inwardly, he instantly let go of the mission and concentrated on cooking when he received the order .

As the difficulty of this matter was actually very high, it was naturally easier to complete with the help of familiar customers .

Therefore, the first person that Yuan Zhou talked to was Wu Hai .

“How is it today?” With a breathing mask on his face, Yuan Zhou appeared quite solemn and expressionless .

“How is what?” Wu Hai revealed an inexplicable look .

He wouldn’t think Yuan Zhou was asking him about the taste of the dishes because it was needless to ask .

“It seems that I can’t ask him too straightforwardly . I must be subtle . ” When Yuan Zhou found Wu Hai didn’t understand him at all, he thought that in his heart .

However, he had never thought about how others could possibly understand him by saying one single sentence of “How is it today?”

Wu Hai just watched Yuan Zhou standing there .

“In this case, I definitely can’t ask him straightforwardly if my price is cheap . I have to change another subtle way to ask . ” Yuan Zhou took a look at Wu Hai and thought inwardly .

“Do you think the price of my dishes are very cheap?” Yuan Zhou asked with a subtle way . There was seriousness contained in his voice and solemnity in his eyes .

“Ha?” For an instant, Wu Hai didn’t quite understand what Yuan Zhou meant .

“Never mind . Say it . ” Yuan Zhou believed Wu Hai would definitely feel the dishes were cheap since he could distinguish so many top-grade ingredients .

“Of course not . I have spent so much money here it is almost equivalent to a painting of mine . ” After Wu Hai realized what had happened, he said without the least hesitation .

“By the way, I also sent you two paintings for free . ” Wu Hai was naturally indicating about the two paintings hung on the ceiling .

“Ho Ho . ” After Yuan Zhou heard that, he turned around and left immediately without delay .

The conversation between Yuan Zhou and Wu Hai was heard by the customers at the side . They all felt it inexplicable and then started to discuss .

“What’s wrong with Boss Yuan?” One of the customers asked .

“I don’t know . Did anyone say Boss Yuan’s dishes are expensive?” Another customer turned to look at Wu Hai curiously .

“What are you looking at me for?” Wu Hai was stroking his small mustaches and thinking about Yuan Zhou’s words . He felt very puzzled when he suddenly found he was being stared at .

“It’s not Brother Wu . ” The customer shook the head and denied his own guess .

At the other side, Yuan Zhou cooked another serving of dishes again and then carried them to Ling Hong .

“This guy is a second-generation rich . He has money and moreover likes eating . He will definitely feel my dishes are cheap . ” Yuan Zhou thought optimistically .

Then, he got prepared and directly said .

“Ling Hong, do you feel my dishes are cheap?” Yuan Zhou changed another way to ask .

“For me, not really . ” Ling Hong stroked his hair and said confidently .

“I’m asking if they are cheap . ” Yuan Zhou stressed .

“Do you want to raise the price?” Ling Hong asked with uncertainty .

“No . I’m just asking randomly . ” Yuan Zhou said affirmatively .

“Oh, good . They are neither expensive nor cheap . ” Ling Hong said to the point .

“Don’t you feel they are cheap?” Yuan Zhou asked again .

“What’s wrong with you?” Ling Hong was quite skeptical about the purpose of Yuan Zhou asking that .

“Never mind . ” Yuan Zhou shook the head .

“Cheap, cheap . Please do not close the restaurant and go to rest . ” The last few words of Ling Hong were said very softly .

“Um . ” A faint smile was creeping around the corner of Yuan Zhou’s mouth . When he turned around and went back to the kitchen, he checked the mission progress .

[Main mission] From The Heart

[Mission progress] 0/100

“Why is it still 0?” Yuan Zhou frowned slightly and inquired in the heart .

The system displayed, “The mission requires sincere answers from the heart of the customers . “

“Did Ling Hong answer me perfunctorily out of fear that I will close the restaurant?” Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of the last few words of Ling Hong and guessed .

However, the system didn’t give him any hint this time .

Though Yuan Zhou had finished reading the book “The Art of Speech”, he still hadn’t mastered the genuine art of speech .

If he asked this question in this way, others would only consider the price on the surface . If so, how could they bring out the words that the dishes were very cheap?

Having failed twice, Yuan Zhou nevertheless didn’t ask that anymore during the lunchtime . He prepared to make a summary first and then asked that again after the business time ended .

Therefore, this interlude of Yuan Zhou was mistaken by the customers to be an abnormality in Yuan Zhou’s routine life .

That’s right . Among the familiar customers, Yuan Zhou always had such a name . Of course, it was because Yuan Zhou kept asking strange questions from time to time .

For example, bullsh*t such as “Am I awesome?” or “Do I need to open a branch restaurant?” . At the very beginning, the customers felt Yuan Zhou would definitely ask for leave . But later, they found Yuan Zhou often asked the same thing during daily life, they got accustomed to that . For fear of Yuan Zhou asking for leave, however, they still had to say something that made Yuan Zhou unable to close the restaurant .

Therefore, the customers would mostly give Yuan Zhou the satisfactory answers that he wanted .

Of course, the conclusion of the girls was that that trait was just what made the prince charming appear cute .

When lunchtime had barely ended, a crowd of people came through the door . At that time, Zhou Jia had already gone back too .

“I’m sorry . The lunchtime has ended . Please come earlier for the dinner . ” Yuan Zhou greeted them courteously .

“Hello, I’m Lingzi . Are you Boss Yuan?” A seemingly lively and cute girl stood out from the tens of people and introduced herself .

“Yes . ” Yuan Zhou nodded the head .

“Fantastic . Hi, Boss Yuan, I have long heard of your great name . And I’m considered to be one that is in the same line of work as you . ” While saying that, Lingzi reached out her hand and intended to shake hands with Yuan Zhou .

“Dear me! It’s surprisingly a beauty . It seems there is a real plot existing in this novel . ” Yuan Zhou felt happy in the heart, but on the surface, he said calmly .

“Are you also a chef?” While asking that, Yuan Zhou reached his hand and prepared to shake hands with her with a quite friendly attitude .

“No, I’m good at eating, a professional epicurean . I’m actually someone that does sort of same work as you . ” Lingzi blinked playfully .

On hearing the answer of Lingzi, Yuan Zhou immediately drew back his hand and stood still with his attitude back to normal . Then, he asked blandly, “Since you are not a chef, what do you come here for?”

“Well . . . ” Then, Lingzi was embarrassed . Her hand stayed in the air awkwardly and she could neither draw it back nor leave it out .
