However, just as Paul was about to step out, he suddenly stopped. Because of the sudden braking, his speed was too fast and he almost lost his balance. However, he still managed to do it with his outstanding reflexes.
Although he was swaying, he still managed to stand up straight. This was really something worth celebrating. After all, if he was injured, he definitely wouldn't be able to eat today. He could endure anything but this, so he was determined to stand firm!
"Paul, I just arrived at the airport. It's still early to line up for dinner at The Kitchen God. It's still lunchtime and we need to line up in advance, so we need to wait for a while. However, we can go to the streets over there first. There are many Chinese specialties there and they are all very good."
Sherma was a qualified guide, and he could even share some of the local specialties with Paul. He was really generous.
In reality, Xia Ma felt that if he didn't have some constructive suggestions, the hungry Paul would eat him up.
For the sake of his life, Xia Ma felt that he had to come up with some constructive suggestions. It would be better to stroll around Taoxi Road. It was close to the restaurant and it would be convenient to line up later. He could also experience the air quality near where Yuan Zhou was. That could be said to be killing two birds with one stone. He was really a genius.
Paul, who was driving at high speed, stopped abruptly when he heard Summer's words. He originally thought that he would be able to have lunch if he hurried, but he didn't expect Summer to mean that there was no chance at all.
To be honest, Paul originally thought that Xia Ma must have made a reservation in order to rush over at this time. He could eat as long as he arrived. He didn't expect this to be the case. He thought that he needed to line up in advance, but after thinking about it, he knew that he couldn't make a reservation.
Just based on Yuan Zhou's cooking skills, it was normal for there to be any rules. Moreover, he only had to line up in advance if he couldn't make a reservation.
As for himself, although he didn't have his own restaurant, he was working in a five-star hotel. There were too many rules. He wouldn't do it on pairs, on Sundays, or when he was in a bad mood. Just because of this, he was very popular. Many people wanted to invite him to their hotel. Now that he thought about it, he was really too arrogant to expect Xia Ma to make a reservation.
Paul didn't know the word 'arrogant'. He only knew that he took it for granted. He really shouldn't have forgotten that Xia Ma didn't mention the rules in advance because he was angry at himself.
Xia Ma's goal of protecting his worthless life had been achieved.
There was no need to hurry. Paul didn't use Route 11 to get rid of the illusion that he was speeding. He regained his usual elegance and rushed to the place before Summer Ma reached Taoxi Road.
It was mainly because Paul's hotel wasn't far away. He didn't book it so close on purpose. After all, before he came here, he wanted to learn from each other. Who knew that he didn't have a key after coming here?
At that time, when Paul opened the webpage to book a hotel, he searched for Chengdu, and the most popular ones immediately recommended a hotel near Taoxi Road. At first glance, he found that it seemed to be the small place he wanted to go, so he directly booked the last room on it without hesitation.
That's right. There were no less than 50 hotels, but after Paul made his reservation, there were no more rooms available. Of course, Paul, who had successfully booked a room, didn't know that he wasn't the only one who had greeted his mother. There were so many of them that they couldn't be counted.
Unconsciously, the hotels near Taoxi Road, especially the ones closer to Taoxi Road, became more and more popular. They were in short supply almost all the time. Even if they were available, they would be booked very soon. Moreover, the booking time for each of them was not short. For example, although Paul only wanted to challenge, he had booked half a month's time according to his habit.
Paul was used to making preparations in advance. He was going to challenge, not to make enemies, so it was impossible for others to challenge him as soon as he arrived, so he needed to reserve some time.
Unexpectedly, Paul was lucky enough to meet Yuan Zhou. On the first day, he challenged Yuan Zhou successfully on the second day. However, he also decided to stay for a few more days. The hotel that he had booked for half a month was completely not enough. Originally, he had intended to extend his stay, but he found it was impossible to do so. The remaining time after his stay had already been booked out, and the queue was even longer than half a year.
Of course, that was what Paul did subconsciously when he just returned to the hotel after the challenge. However, he didn't succeed, and he was eager to digest what he had gained from the challenge, so he didn't think too much about it. Now Paul was immersed in the atmosphere of eating the other delicacies made by Yuan Zhou, so he didn't think of this matter.
At that time, there was one person who remembered Paul deeply, and that was Yue Dong. Different from his name, he always did things in a hurry.
After Yuan Zhou became famous, Wu Yungui, Jiang Changxi, and others who relied on Yuan Zhou's business to make a lot of money. Even the naughty kids relied on Yuan Zhou to make a fortune, not to mention the shops on Taoxi Road.
It was really because of the traffic brought by Yuan Zhou alone that they gained a lot of business. Just look at Li Li. He was a fat man who had eaten a lot of money.
Yue Dong's shop was an exception, mainly because of the things he sold. He opened a small art gallery. Of course, it was different from the Painting God's Hut in Wuhai. His shop mainly sold ink and wash paintings, which belonged to the category of traditional Chinese paintings.
To be honest, people who liked to appreciate it would admire it very much, and they would like to go there 24 hours a day. However, for those who didn't like it, it was really unnecessary to spend one more second to look at it.
Moreover, people who came to Taoxi Road either came for the Kitchen God's food or sightseeing. Of course, this sightseeing did not include visiting the traditional Chinese painting shop.
After all, this thing needed to be looked at calmly. People who came to eat felt that they were too impetuous and not suitable to look at it.
Yue Dong was originally satisfied. He was quite easy-going in doing business, as long as there were people coming and going.
However, when he saw the huge number of customers coming and going in his shop every day, he felt very annoyed. They were all from the nine years of compulsory education. Why could others do it, but he couldn't?
If you asked Yue Dong to change his profession, he would be very anxious. After all, when he first opened this traditional Chinese painting gallery, it was because he liked it. Moreover, the paintings of several rising stars were stored in his shop for sale. No matter how talented people were, they also needed to eat, right?
No matter how good the paintings were, if no one came to look at them, naturally, no one would buy them. In the end, Yue Dong didn't know why he suddenly thought that sometimes, bundled sales were beneficial. To be specific, he went to buy a shampoo, and the shop owner specially bundled a hair conditioner with it. Of course, there were also individual shampoo for sale, but the hair conditioner was cheaper when bundled together. Sometimes, he would also use the hair conditioner. After thinking about it, he felt that it was a good deal, so he bought it.
Moreover, after observing for a while, Yue Dong found that the bundled shampoo was much more popular than the individual shampoo. First, it was convenient, so everyone liked it. Second, the combination of the two was indeed what everyone needed. There was no saying that buying it would be a waste. Therefore, many people would subconsciously choose this bundled shampoo.
