This old neighborhood was not far from Yuanzhou shop. It only took about 20 minutes to get there on foot.
But this was the first time the mother and son had come here, and also the first time they went to Yuanzhou shop. During this time, the middle-aged man called Yang Yang had been walking on the side of the road, faintly protecting his mother.
But he was soon discovered by his mother, and then she chased him inside. Both of them walked on the inside of the road.
The distance between them was very close. Although they walked to Yuanzhou shop, they arrived very early. When they arrived, there were only about 10 people waiting in line.
"Look, although this shop is small, there are still foreigners waiting in line." Sister Xin pointed at the two blonde men in front of her. Sister Xin could tell that they weren't Chinese at first glance. Naturally, she could recognize them.
"Of course, mom, the shop you chose is definitely the best." The middle-aged man Yang Yang immediately praised.
"That's for sure. This is your favorite dish. I came here after reading about it in the newspaper." Sister Xin said with a face full of pride.
The mother and son chatted like this, and then they went to the back of the line. During this time, the middle-aged man called Yang Yang kept talking happily with his mother.
And the two foreigners pointed at by Sister Xin just now were Gabriel and Alfreya, who had just arrived in China not long ago. He was also Gabriel's good friend, Alfreya.
That's right, Alfreya came to China again. The reason was naturally because Chu Xiao came to China again. However, Chu Xiao came because of Yuan Zhou's invitation, and Alfreya came by himself.
The banquet was a few days later, but to avoid the accident at the airport, Chu Xiao came three days earlier. He arrived the night before yesterday, and also came to taste Yuan Zhou's Cantonese dishes.
As for Alfreya, he arrived in Chengdu a day later than Gabriel. Due to the time difference, he was not as energetic as Gabriel. He had to stay in the hotel for a whole day to adjust to the time difference. However, he was dragged here by the enthusiastic Gabriel the moment he woke up.
"Hey, my friend, you said Chu would come, but I only see more and more Chinese people," Alfreya said with some dissatisfaction.
Yes, Alfreya was only interested in Chu. He was not interested in Yuan Zhou at all.
"Wait a minute, Al. Chu will be here soon. He came yesterday, but you were still on the plane at that time." Gabriel shrugged.
"Are you sure he'll eat in a small place like this?" Alfreya raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, a small place. Yes. Although it's a small place, the culinary skills of the chef are much better than yours and mine." Gabriel also raised his eyebrows and said seriously with a praising expression.
"Is that so? Apart from Chu, I don't think so. "Alfreya clearly didn't believe him and shook his head.
"It's okay. You'll understand once you eat it." Gabriel did not explain, but continued, "When the time comes, my friend, you will understand why Chu came here to eat as soon as he came to China."
"Alright, I'm looking forward to it." Alfreya nodded and said perfunctorily.
"Speaking of which, are you really not going back to France?" Alfreya frowned and asked.
"It's not that I'm not going back, I'm not going back for the time being. I want to improve my cooking here." Gabriel corrected him.
"Well, as you wish." Alfreya said.
"Maybe you will come here when the time comes. This place has a magical power, just like me and Dean. You will," Gabriel said meaningfully.
"Perhaps." Alfreya shrugged noncommittally, but didn't refute it.
After all, in Alfreya's mind, defeating Chu Xiao was the most important thing in his life at this stage. However, Chu Xiao never accepted his challenge, so making Chu Xiao accept the challenge was the first difficulty he encountered.
And now, he was trying to solve the first difficulty.
Because he was in a hurry to bring Alfreya to eat together, Gabriel came very early this time, and the two of them lined up behind Wuhai.
Not long after, just as Gabriel said, Chu Xiao also came to Yuanzhou shop, and directly walked into the line and began to line up.
Alfreya, who had been paying attention to Chu Xiao, naturally wanted to go to Chu Xiao's place as soon as possible. However, Gabriel directly grabbed his arm and said, "My friend, if you go now, Chu Xiao will not talk to you. We can wait at the door after eating, then he will still talk to you."
"If you go now, not only will you disturb Chu's line, but you will also not have a place in the line right now." Gabriel persuaded.
"Really?" Alfreya was eager to go and greet Chu Xiao, so he said, "I don't care about this meal."
"But Chu, don't you want to try the cooking skills of the chef that even Chu cares about?" Gabriel obviously knew how to persuade his friend.
"Okay, I'll try." Alfreya was moved by Gabriel's words. He nodded and stood back.
Soon, it was time for dinner in Yuanzhou shop. At this time, more and more people came. Some of them had missed the line, but they still stood on the side and stared at the restaurant with deep feelings, hoping that someone would suddenly leave so that they could make up for it.
However, such a chance did not come. Zhou Jia stood at the door and announced the start of dinner. The first to rush into the restaurant was naturally Wuhai, followed by Gabriel and Alfreya.
"Gabriel, I think you have become much more rude," Alfreya said, smoothing the clothes on his arm.
"For the sake of delicious food, what's wrong with being rude?" Gabriel obviously did not mind Alfreya's words, and replied with a smile.
This time, Alfreya did not say anything. He just shrugged to express his helplessness.
That's right. The elegant, polite, and calm Gabriel had also learned the skill of entering the restaurant quickly.
The conversation between the two did not seem to exist for Wuhai, who could understand French. The moment he entered the restaurant, he said to Yuan Zhou, "I want to order a super large portion of Grilled Squid, 10 servings."
"…" Zhou Jia was speechless. Not to mention the fact that this dish was not on the menu, the way he ordered was too unreliable.
Yuan Zhou glanced at Wuhai. Obviously, he knew why Wuhai ordered this dish, but he still said indifferently, "This dish is not on the menu."
"But you made it this afternoon." Wuhai fixed his eyes on Yuan Zhou.
"Yes, but it's not on the menu," Yuan Zhou said.
"Fine. I don't want a super large portion or 10 servings. Give me a serving of Grilled Squid," Wuhai compromised.
Yuan Zhou was too lazy to pay attention to this black beast. He didn't say anything. Instead, it was Zhou Jia who spoke up helplessly.
"Brother Wu, this dish is not on the menu. You can't order it," Zhou Jia said.
"Really?" Wuhai confirmed.
"No," Zhou Jia said firmly.
"Fine. Then order all the dishes on the menu that have squid as the main ingredient," Wuhai said.
