Moliere was silent for a long time before he hung up the phone. He did not care what Dean had said. It was all meaningless talk anyway.
Looks like I'll have to become Head Chef Yuan's disciple first. If I become Head Chef Yuan's disciple, Chu will value me a lot more, Moliere thought.
It was God's will that he did not meet Chu. Moliere decided on his next course of action. After he recovered his energy, he planned to go to Dean's house.
Recently, Moliere had been secretly preparing to buy a house, but there were no houses around Taoxi Road. Even if he did not consider the price, he still needed to find a house. He could only make do with Dean's house for now.
It's only ten in the morning. If I'm lucky, I can still have lunch. Moliere looked at his watch and quickened his footsteps.
Nothing was more important than lunch in a small restaurant.
Moliere's situation was considered stable, but Li Li's situation was very unstable. Ever since she accidentally saw the bustling scene at Master Chef Restaurant on Taoxi Road, she hadn't had a good night's sleep for the following week.
The main reason was that she had a chance to make a fortune, but she did not cherish it. If God could give her another chance, she would definitely buy a house on Taoxi Road.
I want to fight ten, oh no, I want to buy ten apartments!
Speaking of which, Li Li had met Yuan Zhou once. When Yuan Zhou came back to settle his parents' funeral, the Master Chef System did not exist at that time and he wanted to sell his restaurant.
When he met Li Li and her brother, they wanted to buy the shop. However, in order to lower the price, her brother still delayed it even if it was lower than the market price. He didn't say he wanted to buy the shop, nor did he say he didn't want it. Later, he received a call from Yuan Zhou saying he wouldn't sell the shop.
Li Li's family was not from Chuan Province, but Lu Province. Because they did not find any good business, they returned to their hometown. If Li Li had not revisited this place, she would not have known that the restaurant that she wanted to sell had become so popular.
She worked in the sales of health products in Lu Province's Jimo City. It was normal for her to not have heard of Yuan Zhou's name.
Just like Yuan Zhou, he did not know who Teacher Luo, the industry's lamp, was.
This time, he used his annual vacation to revisit his hometown to find the feeling of being young.
"I think I should go there and have a look. Anyway, I'm going back tomorrow. Otherwise, it's not good to keep thinking about it." Li Li encouraged herself in her heart.
Although her brother had lost a money-making gold shop, she could empathize with him. Who wouldn't like small amounts of money?
In the past few days, she had been restless, unable to sleep well, and unable to eat well. In the end, it was just her heart that was haunting her. This time, she planned to go to the site and take a look, then give up.
After Li Li made up her mind, she soon arrived at the entrance of The Kitchen God. As a matter of fact, she was quite familiar with this area, and with her fast hands, she managed to find a homestay on Taoxi Road on the internet. Therefore, it only took her five minutes to get there.
He left the store quickly, but because it was already 11: 10 pm, there was already a long queue outside the store.
His feet were faster than his brain. When he saw this scene, his first reaction was to walk over and queue up at the back of the line.
"It's indeed prosperous. 50% craftsmanship and 50% location. Why didn't I notice this location was so good? Why are there so many people?" Li Li muttered in a low voice.
In just a short while, there were many people lining up behind her. When it was about to start, Li Li was surprised again, starting from the front of the line, everyone went to the other side of the line to get a number.
"Since when do we have to line up to get a number in a tiny restaurant? Can't we just line up?" Fortunately, she was used to bringing her ID when she went out. Otherwise, she would not be able to eat.
But then she heard the person behind her directly curse in a low voice, "I actually didn't make it in time. What kind of luck is this? It seems I can only come at night."
She turned her head and looked over. As expected, it was a foreigner. No wonder he was speaking English. If it weren't for Li Li's good English, she wouldn't have been able to understand him. He spoke too fast.
The foreigner behind Li Li was the extremely unlucky Moliere. He didn't even make it in time for lunch. One could imagine his mood.
Li Li got the last number. She didn't notice it earlier, but now she noticed it. After getting the number, Li Li quietly returned to the line and began to line up.
She thought it would be fast, but it took her nearly two hours to get her turn. If it weren't for her strong desire to explore the restaurant, Li Li would never have waited in line for so long.
Even the two-star Michelin restaurants she had been to didn't take this long. It was really torturous.
Because she had waited in line for so long, Li Li's feet were sore. She was in a bad mood. She walked directly into the restaurant and saw that there was only one seat left at the last table for four. Instantly, her mood became even worse.
Li Li thought that it wouldn't be worth it to just leave after waiting in line for so long. She slowly walked over and sat down.
After waiting for a while, Su Ruoyan came in front of Li Li and placed her order.
"May I ask what you would like to order?" Su Ruoyan said softly.
Perhaps it was Su Ruoyan's gentle voice and the pleasant temperature in the restaurant, Li Li's anxious and frustrated mood slightly eased.
Pursing her lips, Li Li didn't flip through the menu and asked directly, "Do you have sliced chicken with hibiscus?"
As a native of Lu Province, her favorite dish was the sliced chicken with hibiscus. She remembered that Sichuan Cuisine also had this dish, but she didn't like it very much. What she liked was the taste of Lu Province.
Therefore, Li Li added, "Do you have the sliced chicken with hibiscus and pork in a jar from Shandong Cuisine?"
"Yes, what else would you like?" Su Ruoyan continued to ask after writing down the menu.
Li Li was a little surprised to hear that. She then suppressed it and said, "One more bowl of white rice, thank you."
Li Li's many years of experience in sales made her pretty good at managing her facial expressions. She was surprised that such a small restaurant actually had the pork in a jar from Shandong Cuisine.
Sliced chicken with hibiscus was one thing. Several cuisines had this dish, but whether it was authentic or not was another matter. However, because the cooking utensils for the pork in a jar were a little special, it was impossible to learn and make it on the spot.
Fortunately, Li Li was just thinking about it in her mind. She didn't say it out or show it. Otherwise, she would be dragged by others to tell her all kinds of stories about Yuan Zhou.
Sharing a table with Li Li was a family of three. The husband and wife brought a child. The child was young, but he was very well-behaved in his seat. He just ate the sweets on the plate in front of him and drank water. He didn't make people worry at all.
Because the child behaved well, Li Li was very surprised and looked at him a few more times.
"Dad, I still want to eat the sakura prawn stewed egg last time. Did you give me any?" Although the child lowered his voice, Li Li naturally heard him since they were sitting at the same table.
"Of course I did. I even ordered one for your mom. Didn't Xiaofei say that he had delicious food to share with mom?" The male host also lowered his voice and said.
