"Business time starts now. Everybody, please come in and have your meals." Yuan Zhou checked the time and said to the customers in the line.
After that, Yuan Zhou turned around and went back into the restaurant to prepare the dishes.
Engineer Cheng took two steps forward and then retreated. He looked at the customers in the line and took another two steps forward. After hesitating for a while, he said to the dragon and lion dance team at the side.
"Sorry to bother you. That's all for today. Thank you." After saying that, Engineer Cheng turned around and went back into the restaurant.
Engineer Cheng's hesitation was quite simple. He wanted to eat Yuan Zhou's dishes, but there were too many customers in the line. By the time he finished the line, the business time of Yuan Zhou's restaurant would also end. If so, he wouldn't be able to see anything.
Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, received a new mission from the system.
The system displayed, "A long-term unfixed mission is activated. Do you accept it?"
"Yes." On the way back to the kitchen, Yuan Zhou accepted the mission decisively. However, he didn't open it. After all, the business time had started and the most important thing was to prepare the dishes.
"What would you like to eat today, please?" Zhou Jia greeted the customer smilingly.
"A serving of Clear Broth Noodle Soup." Judging from the voice, it was a gentle girl.
"It's 268 RMB in total. Here, we pay the bill first before the dishes are served." Zhou Jia reminded her gently.
"Here are the coins." The girl's wallet was a little special. It was tightly sealed and didn't seem to have any air in it. The girl took out the coins from the wallet neatly and handed them to Zhou Jia.
"Ok. One moment, please." Zhou Jia put the money on the special tray and then turned her head to report the dishes.
The girl's voice was quite melodious, but she looked around hesitantly. When she found nobody was paying attention to her, she sat down with relief.
The customers at the table were either chatting with their friends, looking at Yuan Zhou from time to time or savoring the dishes in front of them earnestly. All of them appeared happy and satisfied.
The girl had a reason to look around like that. Her name was Qi Lin. It was the first time she came here to eat. Of course, she came here because of the fame of Yuan Zhou's restaurant. However, her admiration was a little different from others.
She decided to come here because she saw such a comment on the forum.
The content was as follows.
[Only Boss Yuan can make such a strange delicacy. The fragrance can't be smelled from afar, but when it gets closer, the fragrance of the food can be emitted. The most peculiar thing is that even if the neighbor is eating the spicy food, he can't smell it. What a marvelous sight. The Observant Pig.
This comment instantly attracted Qi Lin. She didn't like smells, no matter if it was fragrant or smelly.
Therefore, she always wore a big mask when she went out. Because she didn't like the smell, she didn't know how to cook. Sometimes, she would rather eat some cold food. If she couldn't cook, she would go to a restaurant.
That dress was indeed a little exaggerated. Therefore, she didn't like smells. She was wearing a big black mask now. Not for decoration, it completely covered her cheeks, leaving only her eyes.
Her dressing was a little exaggerated, so she checked to see if anyone was paying attention to her. She didn't like to be the center of attention.
"The smell." Zhou, Qi, Qi., "Zhou", "Zhou," was. Qi., "Qi,".
"I" Jia will.., ".,", Qi, Qi.. "Zhou, he. Zhou.
Qi Lin's prayer was very useful. For example, the dishes were served very quickly.
"Ma'am, here are your dishes." Zhou Jia set down the noodles and said.
"Sorry to bother you." The melodious voice of the girl passed from the mask. Naturally, there was more gentleness.
"You are welcome." Zhou Jia said courteously.
The noodles were carried to her face. Along with the heat, the fragrance drilled into Qi Lin's nose bit by bit.
"It's really like that. Fortunately, it's within my tolerable range." Qi Lin was slightly relieved.
Qi Lin picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat. However, she didn't take off the mask. She just pulled the mask upward slightly and revealed her beautifully shaped lips.
"Slurp", she started to eat just like that.
That's right. Qi Lin hated smells. Therefore, she wouldn't take off the mask even when eating. That was why she was worried about being surrounded while eating.
After all, it wasn't a rare thing. Wearing such a big mask while eating would naturally arouse others' curiosity.
The normal guess was, "This person must be sick."
As for other malicious people, Qi Lin had also seen them. After all, it was better to wear a mask in winter but more conspicuous in summer. In fact, she also wore an airtight mask in summer.
If it were a small restaurant, the boss would even ask her personally. After all, if she was sick and it was so obvious, it would definitely affect the boss's business. This was Qi Lin's experience after wearing the mask for three years.
The deliciousness of the noodles was needless to say. Only when Qi Lin ate half of the noodles did she remember to check the surrounding situation. It had become another habit of her occupational disease.
However, the surrounding was no different from before she ate. Oh, there was still a little difference. The middle-aged man next to her was replaced by a beauty.
When Qi Lin looked at her, she happened to turn her head and smiled at Qi Lin conveniently.
Qi Lin also smiled back reflexively. Then, she found she was still wearing the mask. She touched the mask embarrassedly.
"The noodles are going to get cold." The beauty said abruptly.
"Yeah. Thank you for reminding me." Only then did Qi Lin lower her head to eat the noodles.
"It's so nice here." While eating the delicious noodles, Qi Lin thought inwardly.
Actually, if these customers knew Qi Lin's concern, they would probably tell her, "Don't think too much. They wouldn't feel it strange at all. After all, a person with a bloody face often comes here to eat. Moreover, it's bloody."
Every time, Yuan Zhou would hand the towel to him personally and let him wipe his face before eating.
For that reason, Ling Hong even guessed that Yuan Zhou was so considerate because he didn't want the blood to fall into the bowl and affect the taste.
However, Qi Lin didn't know that. Now, however, she was relieved. Surprisingly, nobody felt strange when she ate like that, which made her feel incomparably relieved.
"It makes people who aren't strange feel strange. This place is really too strange. It makes people who are strange not feel strange at all. This place is really too beautiful." Qi Lin thought inwardly.
The lunch lasted for two hours and passed very soon. Only Zhou Jia slightly remembered Qi Lin's appearance.
It was Zhou Jia's habit to record the new customers every day.
"See you in the afternoon, Boss Yuan." Zhou Jia waved her hand and said goodbye to him.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head. Only when Zhou Jia walked out of his sight did he start to clean up the azure stone countertop.
For a moment, there was only the sound of Yuan Zhou washing the dishes in the restaurant.
Not long after that, however, it was broken by Yuan Zhou himself.
"Speaking of which, system, have I completed the mission of cooking western food?" Yuan Zhou thought of the matter of the one thousand foreigners.
The system displayed, "Host, you haven't."
[Mission Progress] 1000/799
"I've seen some foreigners mixed in with the customers from time to time recently. I thought it was almost done." Yuan Zhou shrugged.
"Show me the new mission." Thinking of the interesting mission he had just received, Yuan Zhou said while cleaning the dishes.
The system displayed, "Ok."
