"I just don't know if the taste is as marvelous as Chu described." While eating the Bowl Chicken, Gabriel observed the dish with curiosity in his heart.
He didn't line up late, but there were still dozens of people in front of him. They were all black heads, men and women, young and old, regardless of age.
There was a saying that it was better to come at the right time than to come early. However, this saying didn't apply to Yuan Zhou. To come to Yuanzhou shop, one had to come early, and Gabriel came early.
"This place is different from other places." Gabriel thought.
It was indeed different. As a person who had been in Chengdu for five days and had gained some experience in queuing, Gabriel could say with certainty that there was no other line with such a large age gap.
Most of the people lining up for meals in other places were young people. However, if one looked carefully at the entrance of Yuanzhou shop, he would find that the people lining up here not only had a large age gap, but also had a wider range of professional attire.
"It seems that the taste is indeed not bad since it can be welcomed by people of different classes." Gabriel thought so.
On the other side, Gabriel was eating Guokui earnestly while lining up. He was not a special case. In fact, he was not.
That's right. Gabriel was eating Guokui now because he had finished the Bowl Chicken just now.
The reason why he said he was not a special case was that there were small vendors selling snacks around the crowd.
It had always been like this in Yuanzhou shop. As long as Yuan Zhou opened the door, there would be all kinds of snacks gathered around.
Customers who had been here before all said that they were the hungriest when they lined up in Yuan Zhou shop. It couldn't be helped. When you knew that others were eating delicacies inside while you could only eat the wind here, you would definitely feel hungrier.
It was fine if you came here for the first time and didn't eat the food cooked by Yuan Zhou. But if you came here for the second time or the nth time, the taste would be even worse.
Because you knew how delicious the food those people ate was. Just thinking about it made you salivate uncontrollably. It was naturally excellent to have some snacks to fill your stomach at this time.
Therefore, the snacks sold by these vendors were extraordinarily popular.
Moreover, some people carrying a load would even help you throw away the garbage that you had finished eating. It wouldn't affect you to line up at all. Therefore, it didn't matter if you ate some.
Gabriel wasn't the only one eating in the queue. Everyone else was also chewing on some food.
Of course, apart from Wuhai, he would rather lie on the door than eat these.
The reason was very simple. It would make him eat less of Yuan Zhou's dishes. It was impossible to eat less, so Wuhai could only knock on the door every time he was hungry.
"These heretics." Wu Hai stroked his mustache and glared at the people behind him.
Then, he turned back to look at Yuan Zhou in the shop.
As usual, the line outside the shop was very crowded. When the door was opened, there were also people inside the Yuanzhou shop.
This person was none other than Yuan Zhou's disciple, Engineer Cheng, Zhao Mei.
"Master, are you going to hold a snack party?" Engineer Cheng asked.
"Mm." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Okay. Do I still handle the chores?" Engineer Cheng asked carefully and excitedly.
"Of course. You are my only disciple." Yuan Zhou said as if it was a matter of course.
"Heh heh. Okay, master." Engineer Cheng immediately grinned happily.
"The scale will be the same as the tea party last time. It doesn't need to be too big. It's good enough," Yuan Zhou said.
"Okay. Don't worry, master. I will definitely do it better than last time." Engineer Cheng patted his chest confidently.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Then should I send you five invitations?" Engineer Cheng asked.
"No problem." Yuan Zhou nodded and then continued, "I will personally write the invitations for Master Ji and Critic Lee Yanyi."
"Okay, master." Engineer Cheng nodded and then wrote down Yuan Zhou's words.
"That's all for now. Go back and prepare first. It will be held in the middle of the month. There is still half a month left. Don't worry." Yuan Zhou said.
"I've remembered everything, master." Master Cheng nodded his head.
"Alright. I'll stay here and have a look tonight," Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.
"Yes, master." Engineer Cheng immediately agreed with a smile. Then he turned his head and said to his daughter, Cheng Ying, "You go back first. Don't occupy the space here."
"… Dad, are you serious?" Cheng Ying pointed at her petite and thin figure and then looked at her father's chubby figure.
"Of course. Too many people will affect my master's business." Engineer Cheng nodded as if it was a matter of course.
"Dad, did you pick me up from the streets?" Cheng Ying couldn't help but doubt.
"Of course not. Don't talk nonsense in front of my master." Engineer Cheng frowned discontentedly.
Cheng Ying took a deep breath and then suppressed her anger. Then she turned her head and looked at Yuan Zhou with a wronged expression and said, "Teacher's father."
"Cheng Zhao Mei, speak gently to the younger generation." As expected, Yuan Zhou turned his head and said.
"Yes, master." Engineer Cheng immediately answered.
Cheng Ying looked at Engineer Cheng proudly, as if her Teacher's father also loved her.
Engineer Cheng took two steps forward and revealed a gentle and generous smile. Then he held his daughter's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Ask your mother to arrange a blind date for you tomorrow. You are not young anymore."
"… Okay. I will go home now." Cheng Ying immediately turned around and walked out of the store.
"Be careful on the way back. Go back and help your mother." Engineer Cheng stood at the door and reminded his daughter. Then he turned around and stood at his previous position, looking at Yuan Zhou who was preparing the ingredients in the kitchen seriously.
Listening to the interaction between the father and daughter, Yuan Zhou couldn't help smiling under the mask.
As a matter of fact, not only Yuan Zhou laughed, even Zhou Jia who had been watching from the side couldn't help but laugh. However, she went out of the restaurant to help the people of the Queuing Committee maintain the order.
Time passed quickly. Just in a little while, the dinnertime of the restaurant began.
With Yuan Zhou's cooking speed, it was Gabrielle's turn to eat at 6: 50 pm.
As soon as she entered the restaurant, the shabby environment in the restaurant made Gabrielle raise her eyebrows. "It seems that this chef is not picky about the environment."
While thinking of that, Gabriel first looked towards the open kitchen. In there, Yuan Zhou was facing the customers and was seriously stir-frying the wok.
Both stoves were on fire. Yuan Zhou flipped the ladle with one pot in each hand, his movements smooth and natural.
When he flipped the ladle, he straightened his back and held the handle of the pot naturally. The golden and alluring god-tier Egg Fried Rice was stir-frying in the pot.
With Gabrielle's eyesight, she could see that the egg liquid turned from light yellow to golden yellow and slowly wrapped around the distinct rice grains with every movement of Yuan Zhou.
"Expert … He is an expert." This sentence suddenly appeared in Gabrielle's mind.
"What would you like to eat?" At that time, Zhou Jia walked up and asked.
Zhou Jia spoke in English. That's right. Working in Yuan Zhou's restaurant, Zhou Jia's English had been improving rapidly. Now, she could even make a normal conversation and order dishes.
"Um. Err. I am not an American. I am a French. Can you speak slower?" Gabrielle explained in stuttering English.
That's right. Although Gabrielle's English wasn't good, he could still understand her.
"Ok. What would you like to eat today?" Zhou Jia nodded her head and then asked slowly in English, word by word.
"Ok. What's the special feature of your restaurant?" Gabrielle said the word "special" in Chinese.
During the four days in Chengdu, apart from eating, Gabrielle had learned several Chinese characters, one of which was this word.
When Zhou Jia heard the word "special", she thought for a while and then pointed at Yuan Zhou earnestly, "The most special feature of our restaurant is our boss, Boss Yuan."
Eating the boss? Gabrielle looked at Yuan Zhou subconsciously.
