"You are welcome." Yuan Zhou answered politely.
"Boss Yuan, is the Herbal Tea Egg golden?" a spirited man with a short haircut asked curiously with a briefcase under his arm.
"Do you want to have a try?" Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.
"Well, forget it. I can't afford such an expensive golden egg." He refused Yuan Zhou's proposal without any hesitation.
"Oh."
Yuan Zhou didn't look upset even though he had failed in his promotion. It didn't matter even if nobody wanted to eat it. Actually, Yuan Zhou was also curious about the original price and materials of the Herbal Tea Egg.
Tea had always been enjoyed by the nobles since ancient times. It was basically a luxury. However, with the rapid development of society, the cost of tea leaves had been reduced. Basically, everybody could afford to drink tea leaves.
Now, it was just an ordinary drink.
While Yuan Zhou was lost in his thoughts, the section chief of the tax bureau and Vice Section Chief Lee came to him together.
"Section Chief, here it is. The one with the most customers." The bald Vice Section Chief Lee led the way in the front while the section chief followed behind him leisurely and looked at the side street from time to time.
The section chief's surname was Lin. He was 48 years old and had been in this position for several years. Therefore, he knew the surrounding environment well. The source of customers was just these several office buildings and two old residential areas nearby. Although it was quiet, there weren't many people and it wasn't prosperous either.
Surprisingly, this small restaurant still had so much turnover here. It seemed that there wouldn't be any problem. Moreover, there were many people waiting in line at the door.
"Section Chief, how about I buy some for you to take back? There are too many people here." Looking at the line of at least 20 to 30 people at the door, Vice Section Chief Lee suggested.
"Don't worry. Let's line up together. We can buy some and take them away. The restaurant isn't big, so there should be more customers." Section Chief Lin was quite experienced. His wife and children all liked to eat there and often went to buy those special delicacies.
"Ok. Let's line up first." Vice Section Chief Lee didn't have any objection.
"Is this your first time here?" A man in front of them suddenly turned his head and asked.
"Yes. What's wrong?" Vice Section Chief Lee was slightly surprised and didn't answer him. Instead, it was the section chief who asked curiously.
"You can't take it away. You can only eat it in the restaurant." Having confirmed the answer, the man said straightforwardly.
"The restaurant is so small. It will be troublesome if I can't take it out." Division Chief Lin continued.
"I don't know about that. Boss Yuan has always been like this. If he says he can only order one serving, then he can only order one serving. If you can't take it out, then you can't take it out." The man shrugged, showing an expression that he didn't know either.
"I'm afraid we will lose a lot of business this way." It was Deputy Section Chief Li's turn to be puzzled.
"With Boss Yuan's craftsmanship, it's really a waste of his talent to open such a small restaurant. But it's good that it's a waste of his talent. That's why we can eat it," the man concluded happily.
"Looks like this Boss Yuan doesn't know how to do business." Deputy Division Chief Lee made a mental note of this.
"It seems that this boss has his own ideas." The section chief didn't really care.
Now, it seemed that there was basically no problem with the restaurant. As for how the other restaurants operated, it was their business. Now, he was more curious about whether the food was really as delicious as these people said.
They didn't have to wait long. In less than an hour, it was their turn.
When the two of them entered, Deputy Section Chief Lee looked at the target, the price list.
Division Chief Lin was much more casual. He looked around curiously.
The door was made of ordinary glass, but it was exceptionally clean. The inside was exactly 30 square meters as indicated on the document. Directly opposite the door, there was a single table with only two seats. Behind it was a long table surrounding the open kitchen with a total of eight high chairs.
Looking from here, everywhere was clean. Even the white wall cabinets in the kitchen didn't have a single stain. He walked to the two empty seats and slightly reached out his hand to touch the surface of the table. There was no greasy feeling at all.
The open kitchen, however, didn't have any smoke or smoke in the air and the clean tables and chairs. Division Chief Lin was quite satisfied with these. At least, the hygiene was very good.
"What would you like to eat, sir?" Yuan Zhou didn't recognize them as the staff member who handled the tax affairs for him. It was just a normal question.
"Boss, what do you want to eat?" Deputy Section Chief Lee felt that he had lived his whole life in vain. 188 RMB for an Egg Fried Rice, but what was the matter with the Herbal Tea Egg? The special price was 888 RMB.
"Which one do you mean?" Every customer who came here for the first time would ask and Yuan Zhou would basically answer them.
"Let's not talk about other things. What about the Herbal Tea Egg?" Deputy Section Chief Lee just wanted to know what was going on.
"You'll know after you order it." This was Yuan Zhou's explanation.
If it weren't for the fact that the regulation of the Commodity Prices Bureau was that the price must be clearly marked and no malicious deception was allowed to disturb the market price, Yuan Zhou's restaurant was too small to disturb the market price. As for deception, the price marked on the wall behind him was very conspicuous and he couldn't even pretend that he didn't see it.
What a magnanimous pit!
He thought of a song, "A pit should be magnanimous and don't put on airs until the end of the world."
"Old Li, listen to the boss and order something to eat." Division Chief Lin directly said.
"Then get me a serving of Egg Fried Rice Set and a serving of Clear Broth Noodle Soup Set." Deputy Section Chief Lee knew that Division Chief Lin liked eating noodles, therefore he directly ordered the set of noodles.
"Ok. 588 RMB in total." Yuan Zhou straightforwardly reported the price.
Deputy Section Chief Lee paid the money without hesitation.
"Little brother, are the dishes here really so delicious?" Division Chief Lin started to strike up a conversation with the person beside him with great interest.
The person who was struck up a conversation was a quiet and shy young man wearing glasses. Being asked abruptly, he was startled. After calming himself down, he said, "It's very delicious. Boss Yuan's craftsmanship is really good. But I only come here occasionally. It's too expensive." While saying that, he touched his head with embarrassment.
"It's indeed very expensive. Such a small restaurant is surprisingly so expensive." Division Chief Lin also nodded his head with the same thought.
"I think it's a scam." Deputy Section Chief Lee touched his bald hairstyle and muttered in a low voice.
"No. Although it's expensive, it's worth it. You can't eat such delicious dishes anywhere else." The shy man with glasses immediately contradicted him.
"It's indeed a good deal. But Boss Yuan is too lazy. I think he only opens the restaurant for less than six hours every day." The person at the side interrupted them and said the last sentence in a very low voice.
Just when Division Chief Lin prepared to say something, he was interrupted by the dishes that were carried to them.
"The set meal for the two of you." Yuan Zhou carried the dishes out one by one.
Looking at the set meal, Deputy Section Chief Lee felt complicated. Of course, Division Chief Lin felt even more complicated. What did the two cloves of garlic mean? He had never seen such a careless restaurant.
At that time, Yuan Zhou reminded him kindly, "The garlic won't cause bad breath and it's not spicy."
Even if Yuan Zhou said so, Division Chief Lin still found it hard to eat the garlic. Of course, it wouldn't be wasteful. After all, the dishes of the customers here were clean and bright as if they had been washed. It was as if they were licking the dishes.
Just when Division Chief Lin was hesitating whether to eat the garlic or not, another person sat down beside him and asked.
"Little master, are the new dishes the Watermelon Juice and Herbal Tea Eggs?" The voice was old but vigorous.
