"Don't worry, host. We can open for business tomorrow," the system displayed.
Hearing that, Yuan Zhou felt relieved. It didn't matter if he forgot, as long as the system remembered. "But I wonder how Zuo Zuo's preparation is going."
Yuan Zhou had a good impression of Zuo Zuo. She was a hardworking girl.
Yuan Zhou didn't know what he was thinking. Zuo Zuo was already waiting outside with her senior brother for dinner. Moreover, she was almost done with the preparation.
Although he was very curious about the renovation of the pub that the system said could open for business tomorrow, he could only suppress his curiosity and focus on preparing the ingredients.
Dinner time arrived as scheduled. Due to Zuo Zuo's supervision and insistence, she and Gao Hui were at the end of the first echelon even though they weren't in the front. Therefore, they could enter the pub first.
"It's so small." The first thought that came to Gao Hui's mind when he entered the restaurant was the same as most people who came to the restaurant for the first time.
Seeing an empty table for two, Gao Hui immediately pulled Zuo Zuo to sit there.
"Junior sister is treating today. As your senior brother, I must eat something good," Gao Hui said with a smile.
Obviously, he was joking. Of course, it was also because the restaurant was small and he didn't think it would be too expensive.
"I don't think so. I can only order three dishes. Any more and it won't be enough," Zuo Zuo said embarrassedly while showing three fingers.
"Um?"
Gao Hui was a little puzzled. How much did three dishes cost? Junior sister didn't have enough living expenses recently.
"Second senior brother, let's see what you want to eat first." Zuo Zuo pushed the menu forward without saying anything.
Only then did Gao Hui see the thick menu on the table. A popular post on the internet flashed in his mind. One of the pictures was such a thick menu.
"Is this restaurant called The Kitchen God?" Gao Hui asked.
"Yes. That's the name of Boss Yuan's restaurant," Zuo Zuo said.
"Oh, it's him." Gao Hui finally knew why the name sounded familiar.
Most of the posts on the internet referred to Yuan Zhou as Head Chef Yuan. Only a few close customers would call him Boss Yuan. Therefore, Gao Hui didn't realize it until he saw the familiar thick menu.
As a young man who often surfed the internet to find materials, Gao Hui naturally knew about Yuan Zhou. Because of that, he wrote a popular crosstalk. Just like the crosstalk that he said was selected for the Spring Festival Gala, he had borrowed a lot from Yuan Zhou.
This time, he came to Chengdu mainly to see Zuo Zuo. Secondly, he wanted to see Yuan Zhou and his restaurant with his own eyes and modify the material. As for accepting a TV show, it was just a convenience.
"So this is the legendary Head Chef Yuan's restaurant. Senior Brother Yuan will treat us today. You don't have to stand on ceremony and eat as much as you want," said Gao Hui in an overbearing manner.
Hearing Gao Hui's words, Zuo Zuo was very happy. Her living expenses were at the level of one dish a day. This time, in order to invite Gao Hui to dinner, she hadn't eaten for three or four days, just to save money.
Now that Second Senior Brother said that they could eat as much as they wanted, although she didn't know why, there were a few dishes that she had taken a fancy to a long time ago. She really wanted to eat them, but unfortunately, she was poor!
"Second Senior Brother, you said you wouldn't go back on your word," Zuozuo said impatiently.
Gao Hui looked at the lively Zuozuo with a smile. He had never seen such an energetic junior sister. Even if he had to spend some money, it would be worth it, so he said with certainty, "Of course, Second Senior Brother can still earn some money. He can definitely afford a meal."
"It's a pity that I didn't book the banquet in advance. Otherwise, the eel banquet cooked by Boss Yuan would definitely be very delicious," Zuo Zuo lamented inwardly.
However, she was still very pragmatic. When Su Ruoyan came over to order, she directly listed out the dishes that she had always wanted to eat. "One salted duck, one long fish with soft pockets, one braised pork ribs, one Jinling grass, and one Yangchun noodles. That's all."
Zuozuo was very clever. She definitely couldn't finish these dishes by herself. At most, she could only finish two-thirds of the dishes. However, she was very familiar with the restaurant and knew that when the dishes were served, Second Senior Brother would definitely help her. Therefore, she didn't have any psychological burden and ordered all the dishes that she wanted to eat today.
It felt really good to order without considering her own appetite!
Gao Hui raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything. He knew a lot about the rules of the restaurant since he knew it was Yuan Zhou's restaurant. After all, he had collected a lot of materials. However, because he was here, he definitely wouldn't let Zuozuo be blacklisted.
Although the two of them had different ideas, they reached the same goal by different means.
"I want one Eight Treasure Swordfish, one Suqian Pig Head, one Meatball with Crab Meat, one Fried Black Flower, and one Egg Fried Rice." Gao Hui still didn't order one dish just to save some space to help Zuozuo.
The two of them ordered the dishes very readily. Su Ruoyan also remembered very quickly. It didn't take long for her to memorize everything. After saying goodbye politely, she handed the menu to the kitchen and went to order for others.
"I forgot to tell the chef not to add green onions." Gao Hui suddenly remembered that his family didn't eat green onions. He turned around and wanted to call the waiter over.
Zuozuo stopped Gao Hui and said with certainty, "Second senior brother, you don't need to say anything. Boss Yuan knows what he's doing."
Gao Hui didn't have any information on this aspect and wasn't sure if Head Chef Yuan could do it. But since his junior sister had said it so confidently, he had to give her face. It wasn't that he couldn't eat green onions, he just didn't like the taste.
After thinking for a while, Gao Hui turned around and asked about Zuozuo's recent changes. He didn't want to dwell on the issue of green onions anymore.
Even Gao Hui felt that it was an eye-opener when he found out that Zuo Zuo was actually training her guts in this little store. He had seen people training in the busy city, but the only person who would train in a restaurant was his junior sister.
He even asked Zuozuo to speak before the dishes arrived. If this was in the past, Zuozuo wouldn't be able to speak a complete sentence even if she opened her mouth for a long time in such an environment.
But this time, as soon as Gao Hui finished speaking, Zuozuo began. Although her voice was soft, it was like the sound of a silver bell. Even without the accompaniment of musical instruments, her voice was still very captivating.
"She is indeed worthy of being the rare genius that master said appeared once in ten years. It is truly a blessing for the book review world that junior sister can speak of her," Gao Hui closed his eyes and listened attentively.
Zuozuo was the most talented among the disciples that their master had mentioned. If she could overcome the problem of her courage, her future would definitely be limitless.
In the past, he didn't think so. But now that Zuozuo spoke, Gao Hui realized that the older, the wiser. She was indeed worthy of being his master.
"How was it, second senior brother?" Zuozuo asked with a smile.
"Very good," Gao Hui gave her a thumbs up.
Zuozuo immediately burst into laughter. To be able to speak of something like this in public, no matter how many times she experienced it, she would feel very comfortable. Moreover, it was in front of her own senior brother. Naturally, she was very happy.
She still couldn't leave the restaurant now, but Zuozuo believed that in the future, she would definitely be able to see the glimmer of light.
