Chapter 743

Tom was dressed in a suit, standing at the front of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant looking extremely professional . As for the guy with the slickback, he stood behind Tom with his eyes focused on the customers of the restaurant .

The crowd started gradually leaving the restaurant .

Talking among themselves while walking, the customers headed toward the street .

“I keep feeling like the lunchtime set by Boss Yuan is too short . How nice would it be if we could stay longer . “

“Yeah, but Boss Yuan is alone . He has no kitchen helpers to help so he’s already doing very well for a person doing this alone . “

“Yeah, Boss Yuan’s food is too good . How I wish to have a boyfriend like him . “

If the person who had said that was a pretty girl, Yuan Zhou would feel very happy inwardly . Unfortunately, the person who said those words was a man…

“I think I’ll have some Twice Cooked Pork tomorrow . It’s spicy and aromatic, and the only bad thing about it is the fact that I have to eat one more bowl of rice to go with it . “

“My wallet won’t be able to survive if I eat too much here . I have a dream, a dream to eat for free at Boss Yuan’s restaurant . “

“Keep dreaming . “

Tom overheard many of the conversations, but he did not seem shocked or astonished by anything he heard .

Tom was no idiot . He was aware that a restaurant that could be featured on the TV and could have such a huge number of customers would definitely have delicious food .

It was normal that there would be people singing the praises for this restaurant . After all, Chinese cuisines had existed for a very long time . There would definitely be good food, with Yuan Zhou’s food being one of them .

Of course, none of this would have any effect on how Tom personally ranked the various cuisines .

When nearly all the customers were gone and only a few of them were left, Tom spoke .

“Let’s go,” Tom turned his head and said .

“This way, Mr . Tom,” the guy with the slickback led the way .

“Um,” Tom gave a soft reply and entered the restaurant .

Only Yuan Zhou and Master Cheng were left in the restaurant . When Tom entered, his expression immediately changed into a wide smile . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

“Hello, Boss Yuan . I am the logistics supervisor of Roll, Dear Beef, my name is Tom,” Tom introduced himself .

Yuan Zhou did not say anything . He merely gestured at Tom to wait a moment before he shifted his gaze to Master Cheng again, waiting for Master Cheng to finish what he was saying .

“Master Yuan, I’ll leave now . Please continue what you were doing,” Master Cheng ended the conversation .

“Um . See you,” Yuan Zhou said with a nod .

Ta . Ta . Ta . Master Cheng’s footsteps grew distant . Now, only three people were left in the restaurant, Yuan Zhou, Tom, and the guy with the slickback .

“Hello,” Yuan Zhou greeted politely as he turned to face Tom and the guy with the slickback .

“Hi, Boss Yuan . I hope we are not intruding,” Tom maintained a smile as he spoke politely .

His disdain towards Yuan Zhou’s food in comparison to Western cuisine was nowhere to be seen .

“Don’t worry about that . Are there any problems?” Yuan Zhou got down to business directly and asked .

“Don’t worry, Boss Yuan . There are no problems . We really need to thank you for your cooperation that helped this whole thing progress so smoothly . I am here today mainly to take a look at the environment around the restaurant and the arrangements in the restaurant . This will make it easier for us to set up our cameras and planning during the filming,” Tom explained with a smile .

“No access to the back-kitchen will be given,” Yuan Zhou declared as he stood at the front of the table .

“No way that will happen . Although I don’t know where the system is hidden, if they opened a random cabinet but found some living animals in it, I won’t be able to explain it,” Yuan Zhou thought inwardly as his expression turned solemn when he remembered the top quality ingredients filling his cabinets .

“Don’t worry . That is included in the contract . I won’t be entering the kitchen . In any case, you are not showing your face on the show . We can readjust the lighting of the back-kitchen at a later stage,” Tom was unhappy about this, but it was not shown on his face when he spoke .

“Um . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

“Well, you can get back to work, Boss Yuan . I’ll be taking a look around . Will it be fine for you if I take some pictures?” Tom politely asked as he took his mobile phone out .

“Yes,” Yuan Zhou replied with a nod . Then, he really started ignoring the two and begun cleaning the kitchen .

“We’ll start now then . Sorry for bothering you, Boss Yuan . Take this and take a picture of the entire restaurant,” Tom thanked Yuan Zhou before passing the camera to the guy with the slickback .

This time, Yuan Zhou only shook his head and did not say anything and continued wiping the azure stone countertop .

When Tom saw that Yuan Zhou had his back to him, his expression shifted to that of contempt .

“There’s not enough space in the restaurant and there’s not even a presentable menu,” Tom frowned when he saw the menu on the table .

Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was less than 500 square feet in size and it had to fit all the furniture . Even if all the facilities were complete and the design of the restaurant was rather refined, this restaurant was way too small for Tom . Tom was of the opinion that having more space was the way to go when it came to restaurants .

The arrangement in this restaurant was one that he couldn’t even stretch his arm straight without hitting the next table . This was completely different than the spacious design of Western restaurants .

“The director’s taste sure is weird to look for a restaurant this small . Looks like I still have to do some planning later,” Tom started getting down to business .

“Mr . Tom, done,” the guy with the slickback passed the camera back to Tom .

“Um . ” Tom nodded before saying to Yuan Zhou, “Boss Yuan, we’re done here . We won’t be disturbing you any further as we still need to talk with the store owners around the area . “

“Ok . Goodbye,” Yuan Zhou nodded and walked out of the kitchen carrying a basket .

“You’re leaving as well, Boss Yuan?” Tom asked as he walked out of the restaurant .

“No, I’m practicing sculpting,” Yuan Zhou gave a simple answer .

When he heard Yuan Zhou’s reply, Tom felt somewhat dissatisfied . In his opinion, only those who were lacking in skill needed to practice . Yuan Zhou was most probably one of those people lacking in skill .

“Boss Yuan sure is hardworking . With practice, you will get better,” Tom said after Yuan Zhou sat down in front of the restaurant .

“Yeah, I’ll get better,” Yuan Zhou nodded .

“We won’t be disturbing your practice then, Boss Yuan . See you,” Tom said .

Yuan Zhou nodded and started preparing for his sculpting practice .

After walking about 20 or 30 meters away from the restaurant, Tom couldn’t hold himself anymore and started complaining, “He is still doing a last minute practice? We are going to film him sculpting, right? Is he even trustworthy?”

“Don’t worry, Mr . Tom . Everything will be fine,” the guy with the slickback said .

“This Chinese restaurant is so small and it’s even an open kitchen . When he cooks, the restaurant will definitely be filled with smoke . How will this even look good on the show? This is way too lacking in terms of artistic value, unlike the Western restaurants,” Tom complained again .

“And in Chinese cuisines, regardless of what they cook, they will use the same huge butcher knife . This is unlike the refined and delicate knives that are used in Western cuisines . It will be hard to position the cameras,” Tom started worrying .

The with the slickback guy turned around to look at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant before looking at Tom who was still complaining . He couldn’t help but to speak .

“Yes, you are correct . But the director has already decided on this restaurant . It is not our place to change it . But of course, we might be able to solve this,” he suddenly said .

“You have an idea?” Tom asked, disbelief on his face .

“No, it will depend on you . You do have such deep knowledge on Western cuisines and the Western cuisines have such a refined way of decorating their dishes . Since Boss Yuan is going to start sculpting soon, we might as well go have a look . If you notice any issues, you can offer him some advice,” the slickback guy suggested .

Tom’s gaze faltered as he said in hesitation, “Will this be alright?”

“Yes, it will . You only need to tell him what he needs to do to look good in front of the camera and how to hold the knife so he would look good . You’re an expert in this,” said the guy in the slickback .

“Yeah, that sounds fine . Let’s go take a look . I can also take this chance to think about the camera positioning during filming . ” Tom felt like this idea was feasible . After all, he did not need to be bothered about how the food tasted . He only needed to ensure that Yuan Zhou sculpting would look good in front of the camera .

After all, it was fine to specialize in only one aspect . Tom nodded at the guy with the slickback approvingly . This was the best solution .
