Chapter 572

Yuan Zhou watched as Zhou Jia and Shen Min quickly put all the brochures at where they were supposed to be . Every brochure was left at a place which could be seen at first sight .

“Alright . It’s 1 hour and 40 minutes in all . So let’s say 2 hours of overtime work . See you at noon . ” Yuan Zhou looked up at the clock and then said .

“Boss . . . ” Zhou Jia was directly interrupted by Yuan Zhou just when she wanted to say something .

“There’s still one hour left before the lunchtime commences . Goodbye . ” Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly .

“Okay . Goodbye, boss . ” Zhou Jia slightly opened her mouth, but changed her words . She said goodbye and left .

Shen Min nevertheless just watched at the side all along . When it was time to leave, she also said goodbye and left .

She knew that she needn’t ask, because Zhou Jia would naturally tell her later .

As expected, Zhou Jia told her as soon as they walked out of the restaurant .

“Our boss told me it’s the overtime work for two hours . And he will give us triple pay per hour . ” Zhou Jia didn’t sound very happy, but instead a little embarrassed .

“Um . Boss Yuan is indeed a very nice boss . ” Shen Min nodded the head, indicating Yuan Zhou was the kind person that could do such kind of things .

“Yeah . But I just feel a little embarrassed to take the triple pay since we only worked for two hours . ” Zhou Jia said with a helpless look .

“Doesn’t matter . We just need to work harder and be more serious while on the job . ” Shen Min contrarily didn’t really take to heart .

“That’s true . But I still feel a little embarrassed . ” Zhou Jia said with bewilderment .

“Never mind . Boss Yuan is a man of his word and thus he absolutely won’t go back on his promises . So we can do nothing but work harder . ” Shen Min said earnestly .

“That also makes sense . Okay, see you at night . ” Zhou Jia also thought of Yuan Zhou’s character and thus accepted Shen Min’s opinion .

“Um . See you at night . ” Shen Min nodded the head and then she went to take a bus back .

Sen Min didn’t intend to eat lunch around here as it was more economical to eat in the college .

Nevertheless, Zhou Jia just ate some noodles to allay her hunger . After all, it wouldn’t be very long before the lunchtime commenced .

“I’m eating my boss’s Clear Broth Noodle Soup . Yeah, that’s right . Clear Broth Noodle Soup . ” While eating the Veggie Pork Noodle, Zhou Jia muttered inwardly .

What a joke! The largest wish of both her and Shen Min’s was to eat Yuan Zhou’s dishes recently, but they were just unwilling to spend so much money .

Therefore, she could only recall the fragrance of the Clear Broth Noodle Soup while having lunch .

After the meal, Zhou Jia walked around the area for a moment and then returned to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, waiting for lunchtime to commence .

At the other side, Yan Jia also drove Lee Yanyi to the street intersection .

“Teacher, here we are . ” Yan Jia said with a gentle sound .

“Um . ” Lee Yanyi nodded the head and then directly opened the door and got off the car .

“Teacher, I will come to pick you up two hours later . What do you think?” Yan Jia asked hurriedly .

“What’s the matter?” Lee Yanyi knitted his brows and revealed an unhappy look .

“There’s a school meeting tonight . You must be present . ” Yan Jia said unhurriedly .

“Got it . ” Lee Yanyi regained his calmness and nodded his head before turning around and leaving .

“So, I am his secretary now . ” Looking at the back shadow of Lee Yanyi, Yan Jia suddenly muttered .

Dressed in a shirt, waistcoat and clean black pants as well as a grey overcoat on the outside, Lee Yanyi walked towards Yuan Zhou’s restaurant step by step with his hands clasped behind his back .

In a little while, he saw the long line of people outside of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

“Humph . The customers are really increasing . ” Lee Yanyi snorted discontentedly .

Nonetheless, he was already grasping a number ticket in his hand . It was the number ticket he had received several days ago . There was no problem as long as he came to eat at the appointed time .

Before Lee Yanyi arrived, he had precisely calculated the time . As a result, he waited no more than 5 minutes to get his turn once he arrived at the door of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

“It’s perfect timing . ” Lee Yanyi put the number ticket in a basket at the side and walked straight into Yuan Zhou’s restaurant contentedly .

The restaurant was a little different today . During normal times, the customers in the restaurant basically chatted in twos and threes . Sometimes when a new dish was served, everybody would discuss about it with each other .

However, it was very silent today . Quite a few people were holding a brochure bound together with A4 paper and reading it carefully . Occasionally, they even cried out in alarm .

“Damn . Am I eating this one?”

“It really widens my knowledge . Astounding!”

“I really feel that man lives inferior to a chicken . ”

“Feels like my former thirty years passed in vain . “

Such exclamations as those sounded one after another occasionally . Lee Yanyi didn’t really care about that . After all, his character was awfully distinctive .

He basically answered nobody except when he scolded others .

“One serving of Swedish Meatball, Lemon Water, Jinling Grass and Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork . That’s all . ” Sometimes, Lee Yanyi didn’t eat the main foods just in order to eat more dishes .

“Okay . One moment, please . ” Zhou Jia nodded the head and answered .

While Lee Yanyi was waiting for his dishes silently, the customers that had watched the brochure prepared by Yuan Zhou couldn’t feel calm anymore .

“Not until now do I know I’m eating such awesome ingredients . ” Su Mu sighed with emotion .

“That’s right . I have never expected the source of these ingredients to be so complicated . I reckon Boss Yuan’s craftsmanship is better than that . ” Yin Ya flipped the brochure and said in surprise .

“Exactly . I only knew Boss Yuan’s dishes were delicious previously . It turns out that Boss Yuan has such strict requirements over the ingredients . ” A young man, who kept a flaunty haircut and appeared very young, sighed with emotion at the side .

At that moment, the young man suddenly caught sight of Lee Yanyi who had just got seated and was eating the Swedish Meatball .

He immediately put the brochure aside and prepared to speak with Lee Yanyi yet with an impolite tone .

This person indeed didn’t get along well with Lee Yanyi, who had a bad temper and often scolded others as long as he talked . As chance would have it, this person had a bad temper, too . His name was Chen Yu . His family had suddenly obtained quite a large amount of compensation in the process of the requisition of their house by the government and resettlement, therefore he indeed had some money . Ever since he knew Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, he had been visiting it every three or five days .

However, he had ever been disliked by Lee Yanyi due to the way he ate dishes like a cattle chewing peonies . Since then, they had been hostile to each other . Of course, there were quite a few customers who didn’t like Lee Yanyi .

After all, Lee Yanyi scolded others quite mercilessly when he did so .

“Hey, Old Lee . Aren’t you a well-known gourmet critic? Why don’t tell me from what the meatball you have just eaten is made from?” Chen Yu provoked .

“Humph . It’s a total waste of time and energy to tell you . ” Lee Yanyi answered coldly and immodestly .

“Yeah, yes . But I really don’t think even you know what the meatball is made from . ” Chen Yu tried to provoke him . However, Lee Yanyi really took on the challenge .

During normal times, Chen Yu wasn’t so foolish as to ask Lee Yanyi questions about food . It was simply asking to be humiliated .

But this time is different . Chen Yu took the brochure provided by Yuan Zhou and prepared a trap for Lee Yanyi secretly .

“I don’t know? Are you still sleeping? The meatball is made from pork and beef . ” Lee Yanyi sniffed at Chen Yu’s word .

“Usually, others use beef shank and streaky pork to make the meatball . But this one uses the beef blade and the pork butt . Because of that, the meat tastes tender and elastic . ” Everything Lee Yanyi said was the truth and also informative .

As for which part of the ingredients was delicious, Lee Yanyi was very clear .

“Fairly good . ” Chen Yu even applauded to show consent to Lee Yanyi . When he saw Lee Yanyi appear complacent, he asked him again .

“Then do you know what pig it is, what feedstuff it eats and how long it needs to be raised?” Chen Yu asked craftily .

Lee Yanyi, “???”
