Ling Hong's figure quickly disappeared into the thick fog. As the distance between them increased, the sound of his footsteps could no longer be heard.
When he could no longer hear anything, Yuan Zhou turned around and walked back into the restaurant. As he walked, he began to plan.
"I can only eat half a month's worth of food. It seems that I still need to record the time in case I forget. Should I try a new flavor next time? It might be a little boring if I only eat one flavor."
He did not run to the front today. Therefore, before entering the kitchen to prepare breakfast, Yuan Zhou opened the door and told the owner of the noodle restaurant to take note of two bowls of noodles. After that, he washed up and changed his clothes before entering the kitchen.
Only Yuan Zhou and Yin Ya knew about Ling Hong's appearance. Ling Hong did not make it public, so Yuan Zhou did not say much.
After the baby food incident, Yuan Zhou began to ponder about the use of the reward of the Sea King's mission.
The snack gift bag and pastry rolls were the reward for completing the tavern mission. Logically speaking, these pastries should be placed on the wine list, but in reality, most pastries needed time to prepare. Even the most common mung bean cakes needed to be soaked in green beans before they could be made. It was not very practical to place them on the menu.
Similarly, it was not very suitable to place them on the restaurant's menu. This was a little difficult. Moreover, Lillian did not return to France. She stayed in Chengdu because she could not bear to leave the pastries in the restaurant. She even tried the food, which was also exquisite and refreshing. She was even more reluctant to leave.
On the other hand, she was visiting the three disciples of Yuan Zhou's Sichuan Cuisine and disciples of other cuisines in Chengdu. She hoped to invite one of them to open a restaurant in France. She had already tried the most favorable conditions she could get.
Unfortunately, whether it was Cheng Zhao Mei or Cao Zhishu, they were not moved by the so-called good conditions. Not to mention other things, they felt that they had not fully learned their master's cooking skills. How could they have the face to open a restaurant abroad? It was better to learn more about their master's cooking skills first.
Although Lillian had almost always returned in low spirits, she was still living quite comfortably with the comfort of delicious food. She would come here every day to order pastries regardless of whether they could be made on the spot or ordered in advance. That was the reason why Yuan Zhou couldn't forget the Sea King's reward.
He had been busy before, but now that he had time, he naturally came to deal with this problem.
"Why don't I just put it in the pub? Previously, Director Zhu and the others kept saying that there weren't enough dishes to go with the liquor. It would be a surprise to add one to the pub. However, I still need to pay attention to the way I add it," Yuan Zhou considered.
In the end, he decided to add a dessert platter to the wine list. As for what the dessert platter would be, it would depend on what Yuan Zhou made that day.
No matter what it was, they just had to serve whatever they made that day. This way, they could be casual and surprise the customers. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Early in the morning, Yuan Zhou spread the news through Su Ruoyan's mouth, causing the treatment of those who had already drawn the drinking quota in the morning to suddenly upgrade.
In the past, they were basically treated like empresses, but now, they were treated like emperors. After all, empresses were only a thousand years old, but emperors were different. At least ten thousand years old was the minimum.
In order to be able to see the dessert platter prepared by Yuan Zhou as soon as possible, not only the customers, but also the diners, also went crazy.
Each of them used their own unique methods, causing the five lucky people who had drawn the quota to hug each other for warmth. The main reason was that everyone was too resourceful. In just a short while, they knew who had drawn the quota. Hence, they began to make all kinds of phone calls, coincidental meetings, and so on. There was only one central idea, and that was to follow them to drink.
Originally, it was already in high demand. As the news of Yuan Zhou adding more pastries and platters spread out, it became even more popular than the diamond-studded ones.
Of course, a large number of people naturally could not satisfy everyone's needs. Therefore, several people with the same goal chose the first-come, first-served principle, which solved the problem perfectly.
Next, it was time for lunch and dinner. They were looking forward to the pub time coming soon.
Dinner time had just ended at eight o 'clock. Some people even began to wait without leaving the restaurant. Some unlucky people had to work overtime and did not make it in time for dinner. But at least they made it in time for drinking. Dragging their stomachs with rumbling stomachs, they waited for the dishes to go with the wine to fill their stomachs. For example, Li Mu arrived at the restaurant at eight o' clock just like that.
When it was 8: 10 pm, almost all the people who were qualified to drink had arrived. Originally, there were only five places to drink, and each person could bring at most five more people, which meant that there were about 20 people. But now, there were about 30 people, and it was more than 30 if one counted carefully. It was really crowded.
"Yo, Mr. Wang is also here to drink. I don't usually see you. It's really a pleasure to meet you."
"Manager Li, you are really early today. I wonder how the construction site in the south of the city is going. Don't worry, the materials will definitely be here tomorrow morning."
"Professor Zhang is also here today. It's not easy. Should we continue to study the topic we talked about last time? I think this topic is very constructive. We can start the project as soon as possible."
Everyone greeted each other with a smile, especially to those who brought them and had a quota in hand. The other diners who came to freeload were quite polite.
There were unfamiliar faces and familiar faces. For example, Lillian's face was particularly familiar. She followed closely beside Manman. Manman was freeloading Tang Xi's quota, while Lillian was Manman's leg pendant. Looking at her posture of sticking to Manman all the time, it was obvious that this pendant lived up to its name.
She had no way of knowing that they were here for the pastries. Naturally, Lillian did not want to miss it, so it was only natural for her to thicken her skin and follow them. Fortunately, she had already promised Manman that she would open a shop in Toulouse, so she could be considered to have done her part.
Other than Man Man and Tang Xi, who were a pure female team, the others were almost all men. However, with Jiang Changxi's powerful aura holding the line, naturally, no one dared to come and try to take advantage of her.
Looking at Jiang Changxi, who was releasing her aura, her strong sense of presence was very threatening. Many customers who wanted to get close to Tang Xi and the others to get a spot on the spot flinched.
As the quota was really limited, many diners did not have the means to contact the person who had drawn the quota. If they wanted to drink, they could only resort to the stupid method, which was to wait at the restaurant. If they were lucky, they might have a chance to hitch a ride.
Some people had succeeded before, so many diners who did not draw the quota and did not have the means to get a drink would wait at the restaurant before the pub time started. There were especially many today.
Today, the people who had drawn the quota had brought more people than usual, so naturally, the people waiting at the scene did not have the chance. Moreover, the people who were leading the group were all people with strong auras, so ordinary people really did not dare to approach them.
Among the rare guests, Zhou Shijie's group was definitely the group of old people. They were all old men in their sixties, but each of them looked extremely energetic. Their faces were glowing, and their chests were puffed out. They did not seem to be inferior to young people.
If it was said that when luck came, it could not be stopped. It was rare that Zhou Shijie had the time to have breakfast on a whim, so he decided to draw the quota. Originally, he had the mentality of giving it a try, but he did not expect to get it.
