The visitors were Zuo Zuo and Wei Wei, who had wanted to talk to Yuan Zhou about the storytelling session at the pub yesterday afternoon. Although Zuo Zuo was not fully prepared yet, she could at least give him a boost by telling him in advance.
But yesterday afternoon, after lunch, Zuo Zuo and Wei Wei had been waiting outside the pub for Yuan Zhou's opening hours. It was the same old rule.
Who knew that the two girls would be too slow, and a foreigner had beaten them to it. They watched the whole process. They had no choice but to not waste Boss Yuan's other time.
They wanted to talk about it after dinner, but something happened the night before, so they had to wait until today.
The foreigner being watched by Zuo Zuo was, of course, Mark, who had been doing a lot lately.
Mark had been in a state of excitement ever since Spanish food was put on the menu, and he had eaten it himself. He felt that Moliere was much more pleasing to the eye.
After all, French food was not on Yuan Zhou's menu yet. Poor Moliere.
As for whether or not Moliere needed to be pitied, Mark said that it was not within his scope of consideration.
"Xiaowei, do you think Boss Yuan will agree?" Although Zuo Zuo was the one who suggested this, she still felt nervous.
"I think it will work if we talk it over," Wei Wei said after a moment of thought.
"Yes, let's talk it over," Zuo Zuo said after a deep breath.
Two people stood at the door, with Wei Wei, who was more familiar with Yuan Zhou, leading the way.
"Is Boss Yuan here?" Wei Wei poked her head in.
Her pretty face was exposed under the light, and Yuan Zhou knew who it was as soon as he looked up.
"Wei Wei, why are you here?" Yuan Zhou looked up in surprise.
As a matter of fact, Wei Wei had not spoken much with Yuan Zhou. However, she had a good father. Yuan Zhou had a deep impression of Mr. Wei. He was a perfect example of killing without spilling blood. Wang Hong would always be led by the nose by Mr. Wei.
"Boss Yuan, we have something to tell you," Wei Wei was also a little nervous. She licked her lips and said after a while.
"Come in and talk." Yuan Zhou's eyesight was good, and he had already seen people outside.
He was very curious as to why Wei Wei needed to find him. "Could it be that you need to book a banquet?"
As a chef, he felt that they were either here to eat or to book a meal.
"Thank you," Wei Wei said before stepping through the door.
Zuo Zuo also followed him into the room. When Yuan Zhou came out from the partition, he saw the two girls standing in front of him hand in hand.
"What do you want to say?" Yuan Zhou asked.
"Actually, I have something to talk to Boss Yuan about," Zuo Zuo said after she had mentally prepared herself.
This was her business, so she couldn't always count on Wei Wei. Therefore, Zuo Zuo spoke up herself. Perhaps it was because even though it wasn't business hours, she felt more relaxed standing in the store and feeling the familiar atmosphere.
"What's the matter? Tell me about it," Yuan Zhou was really curious this time.
He didn't know Zuo Zuo, but he had a good impression of her. There were all kinds of customers that came to eat in the restaurant. Zuo Zuo was quite conspicuous among them. Sometimes, she would recite an ancient poem as if she was reciting a poem while eating. Her voice was very low. If it weren't for Yuan Zhou's sharp ears, he wouldn't have heard it.
He didn't know what Boss Yuan's language teacher was thinking. How could she recite a book as an ancient poem?
Yuan Zhou had never thought that Zuo Zuo was doing other things. After all, Zuo Zuo was really young. She was less than 20 years old and her face still had baby fat. People would believe her even if she said she was 14 or 15.
He had seen singers practicing singing in a low voice after eating in his restaurant. However, Zuo Zuo was obviously different. She recited the poem as if she was reciting a text. Besides, it was an ancient poem. Naturally, Yuan Zhou misunderstood her.
"I … I just want to ask if Boss Yuan can recite a book in the pub." Zuo Zuo encouraged herself inwardly and said everything in one go.
"Recite a book in the pub?" Yuan Zhou's mind was filled with question marks.
He was getting old and out of touch with society. He felt he couldn't understand people anymore.
Then, Zuo Zuo explained the reason. She explained in detail the changes she had undergone since she ate in The Kitchen God and her purpose of reciting a book there.
"Could the food I cooked give people courage? It's not like eating the Fruit of Courage will give people courage," Yuan Zhou muttered inwardly.
However, when he saw the two young girls looking at him eagerly, he considered the possibility. Actually, what Zuo Zuo said was right. It shouldn't affect the customers.
"Yes, you can. But each performance is only for one hour. Also, there's the issue of payment." Yuan Zhou felt he could give the young girls a chance.
It just so happened that his pub was a bit monotonous. Doing something different could bring some freshness to everyone. It wasn't something that went against his principles. Yuan Zhou was quite easy to talk to.
"There's no need for payment. It's best to give me a chance to practice," Zuo Zuo said first.
"That won't do. It takes time for you to recite a book. Besides, if you get paid, you'll be able to recite better. My pub is small. It's not good to pay you directly. I'll treat you to a meal every month. Just take it as your salary. How about that? "Yuan Zhou said after thinking for a while.
Zuo Zuo had originally planned to refuse no matter what. However, the condition offered by Yuan Zhou was irresistible. She could have a meal in The Kitchen God without spending money. To Zuo Zuo, it was truly a happy thing.
"Thank you, Boss Yuan." Zuo Zuo blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
"Congratulations, host. You've triggered the temporary mission 'Exciting Nightlife'. Do you accept it?"
Originally, Yuan Zhou was about to say something. However, he was caught off guard by the system. It seemed that the system was used to appearing and disappearing unpredictably.
Yuan Zhou ignored the system's voice and said, "That's good. But do you need to come every day or …?"
Before Zuo Zuo could reply, a voice interrupted, "Compass, I think we can split it into one, three, five, and two, four, six. One, three, five, this young lady can recite a book. Two, four, six, I can sing. You don't have to provide dinner. I'll just have one portion of the pub's food. Or, I can bring my own table and stool."
Wu Hai strode in. His pajamas were wrinkled. It was obvious that he had left in a hurry.
"Why are you here?" Yuan Zhou was puzzled. He hadn't cooked anything just now.
"I feel that someone is trying to steal my food, so I came to take a look." Wu Hai was straightforward.
Actually, even if Wu Hai hadn't come, Zuo Zuo wouldn't have said that she would come every day. She was here to train her courage. Now that the boss wanted to pay her, she didn't know if she could say it. If she came every day, she might disturb the boss. She wasn't that thick-skinned.
"I can't do it now. I need some time before I can start," Zuo Zuo said nervously.
"Alright. Then you'll have to say it in advance," Yuan Zhou said.
Hearing Yuan Zhou's words, Zuo Zuo heaved a sigh of relief. Her eyes were slightly red as she said, "Thank you, Boss Yuan. Boss Yuan is really a good person."
Yuan Zhou was caught off guard and was given a good person card. He was a little confused.
