Time passed quickly and soon it was the evening of the next day. Yuan Zhou didn't cook the fish for the whole day. He just waited for the table in the evening.
As usual, Yuan Zhou hung up the sign that the new dish was on sale before dinner, even though Zhou Shijie and Chu Xiao hadn't arrived yet.
After all, not all the dishes were prepared for Chu Xiao. Other customers could also order them, but they had to meet the requirements, namely, the rules set by Yuan Zhou.
"Boss, boss, is this the price of the new dish?" Zhou Jia pointed at the wall and asked in surprise.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head calmly.
"Is this price correct?" Zhou Jia swallowed her saliva and looked at Yuan Zhou in astonishment.
After all, it was written on the wall.
Special Price of All-Fish Banquet: 38880 RMB per serving (Note: This banquet has a total of 10 dishes and can only be ordered at the time of the banquet. Don't waste the dishes.)
Zhou Jia felt that she wouldn't be willing to eat the dishes for the rest of her life with such a price. However, it wasn't too bad in Yuanzhou shop. After all, a dish of Phoenix-Tail Prawns was 1288 RMB, which was really not expensive for 10 dishes.
"Um." Looking at the special price written on the wall, Yuan Zhou felt a little annoyed, but he still revealed a calm look on his face.
"What do you mean by the time of the banquet?" Zhou Jia asked earnestly.
After accepting the price, he naturally had to ask about the taboo. Only in this way could he give a satisfactory answer when the customers asked.
"Birthday, important, birthday celebration, business, whatever." Yuan Zhou straightforwardly brought out what he had thought of in his heart.
"Um. Okay. I got it." Zhou Jia nodded her head and wrote it down carefully.
"Let's talk about it when someone orders." Yuan Zhou said at last.
"Okay. I'm going to open the door first." Zhou Jia nodded her head and then said.
"Go ahead." After saying that, Yuan Zhou started to prepare the ingredients.
"Everyone, it's time to eat. Please come in and eat." Zhou Jia's crisp voice sounded from outside the door.
Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, muttered in a low voice, "Hey, I'll put the money in now. Fortunately, it's a special price. Otherwise, I would feel distressed when I eat it myself."
After saying that, Yuan Zhou directly put 38880 into the drawer.
Yes, Yuan Zhou preferred cash. It was convenient to count when he was in a bad mood.
"Master, this person has such a bad temper. Why do you have to line up if he wants to treat you to a meal?" The one who spoke was one of the two apprentices brought by Zhou Shijie. He was the most talented one, Liu Tong.
Liu Tong was dressed in a light blue suit with a white shirt and light-colored trousers. His hair was like a hedgehog. He was only 25 or 26 years old. He had a lively character and spoke straightforwardly, but he knew his limits.
Following in the front of the line was the eldest senior brother, Li Minghui. He had been following Zhou Shijie for a long time and his appearance fit the title of eldest senior brother very well. He looked steady and reliable, with a medium build and dressed in a black suit. When he heard Liu Tong's words, he appeared to disagree with Liu Tong on the surface, but he actually agreed with Liu Tong in his heart.
No matter who treated, he would always hand the invitation card in an orderly manner. This person didn't have an invitation card and even asked them to stand in line. Wasn't it inexplicable?
"This is his rule." Chu Xiao crossed his arms on the chest and said coldly at the side.
"What rule? Does Master Chu know this chef? "Liu Tong immediately went up and asked.
"Master Chu knows him?" Li Minghui also couldn't help asking.
Apart from their own master, Zhou Shijie, the two people admired Chu Xiao the most. Now that he asked, they naturally paid more attention to him.
"No, I don't." Chu Xiao said decisively.
Speaking of which, they indeed didn't know each other. It seemed that they hadn't even finished the formal handshake and introduction.
"Then this person's rules are way too strict. How could he make us wait when he is treating?" Liu Tong said discontentedly.
"It's indeed impolite." Seeing the people in front of the line had gone to eat, Li Minghui also nodded his head and said.
"You can go back now." Chu Xiao said quite coldly.
"Eh …" Chu Xiao's words made Liu Tong and Li Minghui choke their complaints in their stomachs.
"Alright. Don't you have any patience? Don't you know the rules?" Zhou Shijie said with a slightly discontented tone.
"No. I just feel that this way of doing things is quite novel." Li Minghui thought for quite a while and then said a word that was not so unpleasant to hear.
"This is the rule in Yuan Zhou's restaurant. We don't cook during mealtime and we have to line up when it's time to eat. Who can blame us if we come late?" Zhou Shijie said severely.
"I'm sorry, master." Li Minghui appeared to be more than 40 years old. On hearing that, he apologized straightforwardly.
However, the apology was directed at Zhou Shijie instead of Yuan Zhou.
At the other side, Liu Tong also admitted his mistake. After all, he still had to listen to his master's words. As for his evaluation of Yuan Zhou in his heart, he naturally fell to the bottom.
"What the hell is he? He treated me to a meal and even made me stand for half an hour in vain." Liu Tong sneered secretly at the Yuanzhou Shop.
"Not talented but bad-tempered." Chu Xiao glanced at the two discontented people and directly gave his evaluation.
Chu Xiao's words weren't loud. Only Li Minghui and Liu Tong froze for a while. Seeing that Zhou Shijie didn't hear it, they also pretended not to hear it.
"Wait patiently. It's our turn soon. I didn't eat much at noon and was just waiting for this meal." Zhou Shijie laughed and said to ease the atmosphere.
"Um." Chu Xiao answered earnestly.
"We are also looking forward to it." Liu Tong revealed a fake smile and looked a little mischievous. Zhou Shijie was also used to his sloppy manner and thus didn't say anything more.
"Chairman Zhou, do you know the menu today?" Chu Xiao suddenly asked.
"Yes, of course." Zhou Shijie nodded his head smilingly.
Chu Xiao turned his head and looked at Zhou Shijie earnestly, waiting for his answer.
"But I can't tell you." Zhou Shijie stroked his goatee and then continued saying.
"Oh." Chu Xiao showed no expression and directly turned back.
"Haw-haw. You'll know when you go in. It's a surprise." Seeing Chu Xiao being defeated, Zhou Shijie immediately felt comfortable. The helplessness of his disciple being defeated just now also disappeared.
"No. 18, No. 19, No. 20 and No. 21, please come in for dinner." Zhou Jia stood at the door and reminded loudly.
"Finally, it's our turn. I'd like to see if the dragon meat will be served." Liu Tong sneered in a low voice.
Hearing that, Zhou Shijie glared at Liu Tong discontentedly. When he saw Liu Tong reveal a flattering smile, he didn't mind it at all. Talented people were always favored by Zhou Shijie and had a high tolerance for him.
"Ho Ho." Chu Xiao sneered and said nothing more. He went forward and sat down directly.
On the right side of Zhou Shijie, Liu Tong sat on the left. Li Minghui, the eldest senior fellow apprentice, looked around with a frown and then sat beside Liu Tong.
"Nice to meet you, Chairman Zhou. Nice to meet you." Yuan Zhou went forward and greeted them personally.
Of course, he said hello to Chu Xiao and then to Yuan Zhou, who he didn't know, at the same time.
However, even the most mature Li Minghui was dissatisfied. No one had ever ignored him like that. After all, his master was one thing and his skills were also top-notch.
