"Isn't the business time supposed to start at 12: 00 noon? Why are there so many people even though it's not even 11: 00?" Little Guo knitted his thin and long eyebrows.
Obviously, he was startled by the huge crowd at Taoxi Road. There were indeed too many people. Anyway, there were so many people as far as the eye could see. It felt like the Spring Festival.
"The queuing phenomenon at Taoxi Road was even reported on the news. It would be abnormal if there weren't so many people." Old Xue also clicked his tongue in wonder.
"I've seen a lot of videos of the anchors visiting restaurants. They all have to line up in advance, so it should be the time to line up now." The cameraman guessed.
"Let's hurry up. Judging from the situation, we might not be able to get in the line in a while." Liu Wenhui straightforwardly took the lead and walked towards the restaurant.
As a matter of fact, they came at the wrong time. It just happened that Yuan Zhou's vacation ended and the new dishes were served. Therefore, there were indeed more people than usual.
"People used to talk about how awesome Boss Yuan was, but I didn't feel it directly. Today, I can see it clearly." The speaker was Old Zhao, a street stall owner in his 30s.
"Indeed. Ever since Boss Yuan came back from France, the number of customers has increased visibly. No wonder the shop owners on the street respect Boss Yuan so much. Even I respect Boss Yuan now." Old Wang, or more precisely, Old Wang who set up a stall next door, answered.
The most obvious thing was that many people couldn't get in the line after the large number of customers and chose other restaurants on the spot. Speaking of which, Li Li was really bloated from drinking the soup. As the head chef, his western restaurant was also a chain restaurant. However, the turnover of the main restaurant at Taoxi Road far exceeded that of other branches.
Back to the interview group, Wang Xu and the other several people followed Liu Wenhui and squeezed into the crowd behind him. Like fish entering the sea, they walked along with the crowd. Judging from their nimble figures, they were probably trained to snatch things from uncles and aunties.
By the time they arrived near the entrance of the restaurant, there were already more than 20 people there. At first glance, they knew they were lining up.
The several people didn't say anything more. They hurriedly went up and lined up in the line first. Only then did they let out a sigh of relief. In their hearts, they all silently felt that it was too difficult to eat a meal cooked by Yuan Zhou.
Of course, it was worth it. Although none of them had tasted the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou before, both the previous interviews and the collected information showed that the dishes were definitely delicious. Of course, the degree of deliciousness was still beyond their imagination at the moment.
"Ever since Boss Yuan came back, he's been living according to the rules. No! From today onwards, I will wake up early and sleep early. Then, I will read a book every week! "
The speaker was called Old Lu. He was in his forties, but he had the same passion and drive as a young man. He looked pretty good.
"The Kitchen God is really full of positive energy." Liu Wenhui couldn't help but nod when he heard that.
Of course, this was because it was Liu Wenhui's first time here. The regular customers, for example, Zhao YIngjun, who was standing behind Old Lu, smiled coldly.
"What's wrong? You don't believe me?" Old Lu looked at Zhao YIngjun.
"I remember you heard from others that Boss Yuan has abdominal muscles last time. Then, you said you wanted to lose weight and jogged every morning. Then, you persisted for two days." Zhao YIngjun said mercilessly, "Another time, I heard from Fang Heng that you watched a TV series and said that people with self-discipline were the most handsome. You didn't need to come to the pub to cultivate your self-discipline. I remember you persisted for 13 hours, right?"
"Oh, right. Also, I had a cough recently and decided to quit smoking. I persisted for two days." Zhao YIngjun's mouth was still as vicious as before. Although he didn't come to the restaurant often, he often sent red packets in the group chat. Each red packet was 1 RMB for 100 red packets. Therefore, he was quite familiar with all kinds of things.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Old Lu was indeed a wily old fox. He didn't blush at all and said straightforwardly, "I'm telling you, I'm serious this time. I can definitely persist!"
Zhao YIngjun didn't express his opinion and didn't try to undermine him anymore.
There were many customers who came for lunch today. Some were new, some were old, and some were tourists. All of them had the same goal, to eat Yuan Zhou's dishes.
The queue grew longer and longer. Of course, everyone was orderly. They only lined up within a certain range so that the normal operation of Taoxi Road wouldn't be affected. Moreover, there was also the Queuing Committee that would occasionally mediate small conflicts. Being able to obtain the title of the Most Civilized Customer was a well-deserved achievement of The Kitchen God.
Time passed quickly, and they didn't have to wait long before it was time for lunch.
"It's lunchtime. The first 16 customers, please come in for lunch," Su Ruoyan stood at the door and said her usual lines.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Hai and Mao Xiong leaped into the restaurant first. Every day, as long as they were here, Wu Hai and Mao Xiong would always be like this. The customers at the back of the line had already gotten used to it. Everyone was well aware of the reputation of the divine beast of the restaurant.
Liu Wenhui and the others arrived a little later and were in the middle of the second line. They still had to wait for some time before they could enter the restaurant.
"If only Head Chef Yuan's restaurant was bigger," Wang Xu was almost drooling when he saw how the people in the restaurant ate.
Although he couldn't smell the fragrance, he could tell just by looking at the way they ate. Moreover, his stomach was already rumbling, making it even harder for him to resist.
"It should be soon," Little Guo didn't care about her image anymore. From time to time, she would stand on her tiptoes to check if anyone had finished eating.
While waiting anxiously, Liu Wenhui and the others waited for more than half an hour before they entered the restaurant. Fortunately, there were five people who came out at the same time. Only then could they enter together.
After ordering all the dishes, they were once again attracted to the Welcoming Set Meal.
"This water tastes really good," Little Guo squinted her eyes.
"I think this appetizer candy is very good. I'm even hungrier now," Old Xue might be old, but his heart was still young.
They didn't have to wait for long before their dishes were served one after another. The rich fragrance enticed the few hungry fellows. They couldn't care about their image anymore. Only when they ate the food would it be real.
They picked up their chopsticks and started eating. When they took the first bite, their eyes lit up. They finally realized that all their imaginations couldn't compare to a real bite.
"Suo Suo, Kuang Kuang"
The few of them waved their chopsticks and started eating. The usual ladylike and gentlemanly airs were all gone. All they could see was the delicious food.
"Burp"
Little Guo covered her mouth with her hand. This was the first time she had eaten so much. Ever since she started paying attention to her figure, she had never eaten so much.
The other men also had a satisfied expression on their faces. It was obvious that they were very full.
Of course, they didn't stop after they finished eating. They quickly walked out of the restaurant so that the people behind them could enter and eat.
"If only Head Chef Yuan could open a restaurant in Beijing. Then I would definitely go there every day," Wang Xu rubbed his stomach, feeling that his stomach wasn't strong enough.
He had completely ignored the fact that he had already eaten a quarter more than usual.
"Do we have any other missions in Chengdu?" Little Guo was still the quick-witted one. She immediately thought of the best solution.
"I don't think so. But we can ask, "Liu Wenhui said with a frown.
"That's a good idea," Old Xue expressed his agreement.
The assistant nodded vigorously as well. He knew what Old Xue meant.
