"If I want others to say it's cheap, I definitely need to ask them myself." Yuan Zhou muttered to himself.
Yuan Zhou stood up and looked around the kitchen, looking at the top-notch ingredients.
"Since I want others to say it's cheap from the bottom of their hearts, I definitely can't be too direct. I have to be tactful." Yuan Zhou thought in the heart.
After studying the task repeatedly for the whole afternoon, Yuan Zhou started to sculpt and waited for the customers to arrive before he started to make his opening remarks.
Fortunately, the more serious a person was, the faster time would pass.
Not long after, the dinnertime was about to begin.
Since Zhou Jia was already waiting outside the door, the customers had naturally started to line up and wait for them.
As for the ingredients for the dinner, Yuan Zhou had also prepared them. After he slightly flicked his sleeves, he stood still and waited for the customers to enter the restaurant.
"The first ten customers, please come in for dinner." The gentle voice of Zhou Jia sounded at the door.
"I just happen to be hungry." The customers stroked their bellies and walked into the restaurant contentedly.
Of course, the first batch of customers had a sense of superiority. They entered the restaurant unhurriedly under the various envious and jealous gazes of the latecomers.
After all, it wasn't the first time for such a thing to happen. For example, Wuhai had experienced it many times, so he didn't care about it at all.
Although Yuan Zhou had something on his mind, when he received the order, he instantly put down the task and started to cook wholeheartedly.
As the difficulty of this task was fairly high, it was naturally easier to find familiar people to complete it.
Therefore, the first person Yuan Zhou looked for was Wuhai.
"How about today?" Yuan Zhou wore a mask and appeared solemn. No one could tell what expression he had.
"What do you mean?" Wuhai revealed a puzzled expression.
He didn't think Yuan Zhou was asking him how he tasted, because it was unnecessary.
"It seems that I can't be too direct. I have to be tactful." Seeing Wuhai not understand him, Yuan Zhou criticized inwardly.
It was just that he didn't think about how others could understand what he meant when he said, "How's it going today?
Wuhai just looked at Yuan Zhou standing there.
If that's the case, I can't directly ask if my price is cheap. I have to find a more tactful way to ask, Yuan Zhou thought to himself as he glanced at Wuhai.
"Do you think my dishes are very cheap?" Yuan Zhou asked tactfully with a solemn look and a hint of seriousness in his voice.
"Huh?" Wuhai didn't understand what Yuan Zhou meant.
"It doesn't matter. Just say it." Yuan Zhou felt that since Wuhai could taste so many top-notch ingredients, he would definitely feel it was cheap.
"Of course not. I have already eaten a painting here." Wuhai reacted and said without hesitation.
"Oh, I even gave you two paintings for free." Wuhai was naturally referring to the two paintings hanging on the ceiling.
"Ho Ho." On hearing that, Yuan Zhou turned around and left without hesitation.
The conversation between Yuan Zhou and Wuhai was seen by other customers at the side. They were all a little puzzled and then started to discuss.
"What's wrong with Boss Yuan?" One of the customers asked.
"I don't know. Who said Boss Yuan's dishes are expensive?" A customer turned the head and looked at Wuhai curiously.
"Why are you looking at me?" While stroking his small mustaches and thinking about Yuan Zhou's words, Wuhai was inexplicably stared at by others.
"It seems it's not Brother Wu." The customer shook his head and denied his own guess.
At the other side, Yuan Zhou prepared another dish and carried it to Ling Hong.
"This guy is a second-generation nouveau riche. He is rich and loves to eat. He will definitely say it's cheap." Yuan Zhou thought optimistically.
Then, he made a draft in his mind and said straightforwardly.
"Ling Hong, do you think the price of my dishes is cheap?" Yuan Zhou changed his question again.
"In my opinion, it's not expensive." Ling Hong stroked his hair and said confidently.
"I'm asking if it's cheap." Yuan Zhou emphasized.
"Are you going to raise the price?" Ling Hong asked with uncertainty.
"No. I'm just asking." Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.
"Oh. Not bad. It's neither expensive nor cheap." Ling Hong said to the point.
"Don't you think it's cheap?" Yuan Zhou asked again.
"What's wrong with you?" Ling Hong seriously doubted the purpose of Yuan Zhou's question.
"Nothing." Yuan Zhou shook his head.
"Cheap, cheap. Don't take a break." Ling Hong said the last few words in a low voice.
"Um." The corners of Yuan Zhou's mouth under the face mask slightly curled up. When he turned around and went back to the kitchen, he checked the mission progress.
[Main Mission] From the Heart
[Mission Progress] 0/100
"Why is it still zero?" With a slight frown, Yuan Zhou asked in his heart.
The system displayed, "The mission requires the answer from the heart of the customer."
"Is it possible that Ling Hong is just afraid that I will close the restaurant and thus gave me a perfunctory answer?" Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of the last words of Ling Hong and guessed.
However, the system didn't give him a hint this time.
Even if Yuan Zhou had read those books about the art of speaking, he still hadn't learned the art of speaking.
If he asked this question in this way, others would only consider the superficial price. How could they say the dishes were cheap if they only looked at the superficial price?
Having failed twice, Yuan Zhou didn't ask again during lunchtime. He intended to ask again after the conclusion.
Therefore, the episode of Yuan Zhou was misinterpreted by the customers as Yuan Zhou's daily abnormality.
That's right. Among the familiar customers, Yuan Zhou always had such a nickname. Of course, it was because Yuan Zhou always asked strange questions.
For example, whether he was the most awesome or whether he could open a branch or not. At first, the customers thought that Yuan Zhou would ask for a leave to rest. Later, they found that Yuan Zhou smoked cigarettes every day and thus got used to it. However, in order to avoid Yuan Zhou asking for a leave, they still had to say that he couldn't ask for a leave first.
Therefore, most of the customers would satisfy the answer that Yuan Zhou wanted.
Of course, the conclusion of the girls was that it was the cuteness of the aloof prince charming.
As soon as lunchtime ended, a crowd of people squeezed into the restaurant. At that time, Zhou Jia also got off work and went back.
"I'm sorry. Lunchtime has ended. Please come earlier for dinner." Yuan Zhou greeted them courteously.
"Hello, I'm Lingzi. Are you Boss Yuan?" Among the group of more than ten people, a lively and cute girl with pretty short hair stood out and introduced herself.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded the head.
"Great. Nice to meet you, Boss Yuan. I've heard about you for a long time. I can be considered as a colleague of yours." While saying that, Lingzi reached out her white hand and wanted to shake hands with him.
"What the f * ck. It's surprisingly a beautiful chef. It seems that there are real plots in the novels." Yuan Zhou was quite happy inwardly, but he said calmly on the surface.
"Are you also a chef?" While asking, Yuan Zhou reached out his hand and prepared to shake hands with her. He was quite friendly.
"No. I'm an eater, a professional eater. I can be considered as half a colleague." Lingzi blinked her eyes playfully.
Once he heard Lingzi's answer, Yuan Zhou immediately withdrew his hand and stood still. His attitude returned to normal and he asked lightly, "Not a chef. What's the matter?"
"Well …" Then, Lingzi became embarrassed. Her hand was in the air awkwardly. She didn't know whether to withdraw it or continue holding it.
