"Then what do you think we should do? If we don't get the chance to eat hotpot, can we still proceed with our plan?" Tian Penghao was getting anxious.
He had a special mission this time. If he didn't eat the food cooked by others, he wouldn't be able to perform well. More importantly, there was only hotpot today. If he didn't get the chance, he wouldn't be able to eat.
Although the plan could still be carried out, Tian Penghao still felt that they were at a disadvantage. There wasn't much hope to begin with. Now, he couldn't be optimistic anymore.
"Let's wait and see," Yan Junchang was relatively calm.
His hearing was still good. He had already heard several people in front of him pleading with the person who got the red ball, wanting him to bring them along for a meal. One person could bring 10 people, including himself.
He felt that if someone he knew had gotten the red ball, he could do the same. Although he was anxious, he maintained a calm expression. Moreover, he had a backup plan.
Tian Penghao calmed down when he saw Yan Junchang's confident expression. "Worst comes to worst, I'll stay in Chengdu for a few more days and get to know Head Chef Yuan better."
Just as the two were chatting, the drawing of the red ball came to an end. The last red ball was drawn.
It was a tall and strong man in his forties. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and thick hair. He didn't seem to be troubled by balding. One look and one could tell that he took good care of himself. However, even his casual clothes couldn't hide his gangster aura.
He didn't look like an ordinary person. If he wore a pair of sunglasses and a scarf, he would definitely look like the leader of the Bund.
When he saw this person, Yan Junchang's originally serious expression relaxed. The corners of his mouth even curled up slightly.
Yan Junchang had originally planned to use the backup plan. He would order the spicy hotpot base tomorrow and bring his own dishes.
But as the saying went, "Mountains are heavy and rivers are heavy, but there is still a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel." Heaven never bars one's way. When heaven closes a door, it might also open a window. It all depended on whether one could grasp it or not.
"Let's go and have a chat with Du Zijun."
After whispering to Tian Penghao, Yan Junchang walked over to a place that was more than 30 meters away. His eyes were sharp enough to see who it was from so far away.
In fact, it was the Heavens who were on their side. At this moment, sunlight broke through the clouds and the moon and shone on the earth. Even the human world, which was still shrouded in mist, was covered with a layer of golden gauze. Slowly, the mist dissipated little by little, and people could naturally see far away.
At the very least, Yan Junchang could clearly see that the person who got the last spot was the vice president of the Hot Pot Association, Du Zijun.
Now that he had someone he knew who had drawn a slot, everything would be much easier. With his status as the Guild Leader, some things would naturally fall into place.
However, these things had nothing to do with the customers who had already entered the restaurant.
"Snort!"
The grandpa carefully bit open the skin of the soup dumpling. His skills were superb. He only bit open a small piece of skin near the top of the crease, and did not touch the soup inside at all.
Probably because of the opening of a skylight, the fragrance became stronger. The beautiful jade-colored meat stuffing and the milky white soup could be seen swaying inside, which greatly increased one's appetite.
At the very least, no matter how many times the old man saw this scene, he could not hold himself back. Like a young boy, he impatiently took a sip, and the slightly hot soup immediately entered his mouth. The slightly high temperature and the rich and mellow soup were like a warm current flowing into his stomach, bringing extreme enjoyment to his stomach that had been starving for a whole night.
"It's really a great pleasure to eat the soup dumplings made by Boss Yuan on such a winter day." The grandpa squinted his eyes slightly and revealed an expression of enjoyment.
Almost all the other customers had the same expression as the grandpa. Even if they didn't get the slot to eat the hot pot, they still felt their souls were comforted to be able to eat such delicious soup dumplings.
After breakfast, the ten people who got the slots registered the hotpot they wanted to eat. Then, the Kitchen God temporarily returned to its tranquility.
The outside of the restaurant was still crowded with people and bustling with noise and excitement. But inside the restaurant, due to the protection of the system, it was as warm as spring and comfortable. Even the noise was gone. It was very quiet and peaceful.
At this moment, Yuan Zhou wasn't practicing his culinary skills. Instead, he was communicating with the system in a friendly manner.
"Little comrade system, I had a dream yesterday," Yuan Zhou said solemnly.
As if he was talking about something very important. Of course, it was actually quite important. Ever since he entered deep sleep with the help of the system, he would be full of energy even if he only slept for three to four hours. Especially after Yin Ya moved in, this function became more and more important.
However, he had never dreamt before. However, the system didn't have any reaction. As a system, no matter how much it resembled a human, it wasn't a human after all. It didn't know the difference between dreaming and not dreaming.
"I dreamt that someone came to my restaurant to steal something. Although he didn't come in, he really did." Yuan Zhou waited for a while and then continued saying.
Then, there was a weird silence. Yuan Zhou waited for five minutes, but the system still didn't respond. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and said, "System, did someone really come to steal something last night?"
He still remembered that there was only a gourmet thief who specially wanted to steal ingredients at the beginning.
Of course, he returned with nothing in the end. It wasn't only because of the protection of the system, but also because of the fortress-like protection from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. Besides, there was also the quick-witted Broth guarding him. The thief didn't succeed at all and was almost bitten by Broth.
However, Yuan Zhou just smelled an awkward atmosphere from the silence of the system. Suddenly, he felt that he wasn't dreaming.
About two or three minutes later, a picture suddenly appeared in Yuan Zhou's mind. It was like a surveillance video recorded by the system. Then, he saw a very familiar figure.
"Isn't this the person from several years ago?" Yuan Zhou didn't think it was possible that he was mistaken.
He was still in the same style as before, with his hair standing up one by one and an arrogant expression on his face. Of course, he was smarter this time. He didn't try to shake the defense of the restaurant which was comparable to the White House like before. Instead, he directly chose to break through the front door.
Before he came here, he had already inquired about the dog, Broth, who was ferocious and dutiful a few years ago, was no longer here. If he didn't come now, when would he?
The main reason was that he hadn't obtained the top-notch ingredients from Yuan Zhou. He had been tossing and turning in bed for the past few years. If it weren't for the fact that he had a straight sexual orientation, he would have thought that he was interested in Yuan Zhou.
Unfortunately, imagination was beautiful. No matter how well-prepared he was, he would still fail. This time, Broth indeed wasn't here, but Noodle and Broth had grown up a lot. They definitely had the demeanor of their father.
This time, he was stopped by Noodle and Broth before he could even get close to the wall. There was no chance for the rice to show up at all before everything was settled.
In the end, when the man left dejectedly, he left a very sad sentence, "In this world, there are still some ingredients that I can't get."
