When the restaurant opened and the customers entered, Zhou Shijie said to Easygoing Hermit, "Yu Daoyi, look at me. I've been lining up for you. I didn't even have breakfast."
"It's just to satisfy my appetite. Don't worry about it," Yu Daoyi, the Mountain Man, said calmly.
"You're still lining up, aren't you?" Zhou Shijie said impatiently.
"I have to keep my promise," Yu Daoyi said naturally.
"I forgot that you, old man, have no desires." Zhou Shijie was instantly speechless.
"I'm afraid you haven't tasted delicious food before. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so calm." Chu Xiao said seriously at the side, "Eating is not only for the desire of good food. First of all, cooking is a kind of art. Delicious food is a kind of lofty spiritual enjoyment."
"Vegetables and tofu can be eaten. Chicken, duck, and fish can also be eaten. There's no difference between the two." Yu Daoyi's voice was cold and indifferent.
"Chicken, duck, fish, and tofu can all be eaten. Then why are you a vegetarian?" Chu Xiao asked.
"I'm a vegetarian and a meat eater. There's no difference between the two," Yu Daoyi said.
"Ahem, that's not a taboo." Zhou Shijie nodded.
"Then who are the little Taoist behind you?" Chu Xiao pointed at the dozen little Taoist children in blue behind him.
"This is Shijie's suggestion," Yu Daoyi said.
"For the lottery." Zhou Shijie nodded.
"When you taste real food, you'll know that eating is not just for the appetite," Chu Xiao said.
This time, Yu Daoyi didn't say anything. He turned around and continued to stare ahead. No one knew whether he was in a daze or memorizing the Sacred Text of Dao.
The line quieted down.
Breakfast lasted for an hour. The hour passed quickly. When all the customers left, Yuan Zhou walked out of the shop with Zhou Jia and Cheng Ying.
The three of them went straight to the line for the vegetarian banquet.
Yuan Zhou walked in the front, followed by Cheng Ying and Zhou Jia.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"No, no. Shall we start now?" The customers looked at the box in Zhou Jia's arms and asked directly.
"I will repeat the price of the vegetarian banquet again. One table is 58888. Here is the menu marked with the price of the vegetarian banquet." While speaking, Yuan Zhou took out a custom-made A4 paper sized menu.
There was only one price, and that was the vegetarian banquet: 58888/table (each table can accommodate up to eight people at the same time).
Clearly marking the price was the only way to comply with the Bureau of Commodity Prices' regulations.
The paper used for this menu was different. It felt smooth and delicate in the hands. There were silver patterns on the beige paper, which looked like lotus flowers.
This simple line of characters was written by Yan Ti, which was square and dense. The strokes were light and heavy, and the strength of the strokes was strong and thick. It was very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Just by looking at the simple menu, one could tell the vegetarian banquet was extraordinary.
"The paper is good." Wu Hai held the menu and touched the paper carefully.
"It's okay." Yuan Zhou said lightly.
"Are you giving it to us?" Wu Hai touched the paper with interest and said.
"No need. Cheng Ying will take it away later," Yuan Zhou said.
"Yuan, you are so rigid." Zhou Shijie said smilingly.
"You are indeed old-fashioned." Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows and shouted.
However, Yuan Zhou had long been used to such comments. He didn't say anything until the customers quieted down a little.
"The rules of the lottery are the same as the liquor. One person can only draw once. Line up and draw in order. A red ping-pong ball means you got it," Yuan Zhou said.
After the final rules were clarified, the lottery began directly. It was still Zhou Jia who carried the box and let others draw.
Cheng Ying took advantage of the time to take away the menus that had just been distributed.
A total of 21 menus were distributed. Of course, the menus of those little Taoist children were not included. Yu Daoyi said that they didn't need to be distributed to them.
The recycling process was quite smooth, except that Wu Hai tried to embezzle them.
Of course, with Yuan Zhou standing there, Wu Hai didn't resist much.
The speed of the lucky draw was very fast. Among the few people in front, only a very young man got the lucky draw. After he got the lucky draw, he directly handed the lucky draw to Boss Wu.
That's right. It was Mr. Wu Yungui, the gourmet business circle.
"Boss Yuan, I'm waiting to eat on the 20th." Mr. Wu took the red ball and said smilingly.
"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"Then I'll give you the money first." After that, Mr. Wu took out his phone and started to transfer the money to the bank.
When it was Yu Daoyi's turn, he reached out his pale, skinny and slender hand and took out a ball. When he held it in his hand, he found it was white.
"Old Taoist, you actually didn't get it." Zhou Shijie sighed.
"Don't worry. You can also eat it," Yu Daoyi said lightly.
"Oh? It seems I got it. "Zhou Shijie reached out his hand to touch the ball happily.
But very quickly, Zhou Shijie also took out a white ball. Zhou Shijie immediately said, "It seems that even an old Daoist like you has times of failure. I didn't draw it. Could it be that your disciples and grand-disciples drew it?"
Yu Daoyi looked at Zhou Shijie indifferently and didn't say anything. Chu Xiao also reached out his hand to touch a ping-pong ball at that time.
He opened his palm and saw that it was a ball painted red.
"I'm looking forward to your new dish," Chu Xiao handed the ball to Yuan Zhou and said.
"No problem," Yuan Zhou said.
"Little Chu, don't forget what you promised," Zhou Shijie said with a smile.
"Then would you two please have lunch together at 12: 00 on the 20th?" Chu Xiao set the time neatly and neatly.
"No problem. Thank you, Little Chu," Zhou Shijie answered with a smile.
"Thank you," Yu Daoyi nodded his head.
Then, more than ten Taoist children took turns to draw the ball, but none of them got it. Maybe bad luck was contagious, but Wu Hai also didn't get it.
"Although I don't like eating grass, do you want me to starve if I don't get it?" Wu Hai stared at the small white ball and said discontentedly.
"Come, follow me. I'll save a place for you," Jiang Changxi reached out her hand and tapped on Wu Hai's shoulder. Then, she took out a red ball.
"Thank you, Sister Jiang," Wu Hai, who had originally wanted to resist, turned his head and said immediately when he saw Jiang Changxi take out a red ball without hesitation.
"Um, good boy." When Jiang Changxi said that, she deliberately looked at Yuan Zhou. However, Yuan Zhou didn't react at all. He just watched the customers draw the ball quietly.
After two more people took turns, it was the last two people to draw the ball. At that time, there were only two red balls left in the box.
The last two people were a man and a woman. The woman was Xia Yu, who was 1.8 meters tall. Before she drew the ball, she made a very formal gesture of prayer and held a tennis ball in her hand.
After she finished the gesture, Xia Yu bent down and stretched out her hand to draw the ball. Her movement was very slow, but after she pulled out her hand, she quickly opened her palm.
As expected, there was a small red ball lying on Xia Yu's palm.
During the lottery, people had a habit of watching others draw the ball when they didn't draw the ball, and when they finished drawing the ball, they liked to watch others draw the ball even more.
Therefore, when the last person drew the lottery, everyone looked over. Even Yu Daoyi raised his head to take a look.
But this one look made Yu Daoyi smile.
