As soon as Yuan Zhou showed his face, the customers in the line immediately responded more enthusiastically.
"Good morning, Boss Yuan. I missed you so much."
"Did you have fun in Thailand? How was Boss Yuan?"
"Boss Yuan, look here. Let's take photos and post them on WeChat Moments. Don't go out these days. We still need to make money to open the restaurant."
Seeing people taking photos, Yuan Zhou habitually straightened his back and maintained a fixed solemn expression. This was the style.
"Boss Yuan, Boss Yuan, do you have a tan?"
"But you look handsome like this."
"Yes, Boss Yuan is the most handsome."
After not seeing Yuan Zhou for a week, some courageous female customers even teased Yuan Zhou.
Of course, it was because Jiang Changxi was not there, so they didn't have much fighting power. Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, nodded slightly and accepted the compliment with no change of expression. Then, he turned around and went back to the restaurant.
At this time, Zhou Jia came up in time and said.
"Everybody, breakfast time begins. Please come in and have your breakfast," Zhou Jia said.
As soon as she said that, the people in the front of the line rushed into the restaurant.
Ma Zhida was the first in the line today. As soon as he sat down, he let out a sigh of relief, "Oh, I'm the first today, not Shameless Wu."
"Exactly. I didn't expect that Shameless Wu hasn't come back yet," Manman also nodded in agreement.
"Don't mind him. I'm starving. Jia Jia, give me a serving of Clear Broth Noodle Soup for breakfast," a customer beside her said to Zhou Jia.
"Yes, yes, yes. Let's eat first. Get me a serving of Clear Broth Noodle Soup Set," another customer also began to order.
"I want to be extravagant today. I also want the Clear Broth Noodle Soup Set," a customer who hadn't eaten for a long time decided to be extravagant.
In a little while, the first 12 customers who came in first finished ordering and sat down anxiously to wait for their meals. For a moment, only the sound of boiling water in Yuan Zhou's pot could be heard. It was very quiet.
Everyone was eagerly waiting to eat Yuan Zhou's first meal after he came back.
During the days when Yuan Zhou's restaurant wasn't open, Wei Wei and her father had a huge conflict, and now they seemed to be in a cold war.
Some customers said that if the Yuanzhou shop had been open, this wouldn't have happened. But some people also sneered, saying that the Yuanzhou shop was not God's hostel, and that it could always get involved.
Yuanzhou shop was life, but life was not Yuanzhou shop.
However, it was undeniable that the restaurant was an important part of the customers' lives.
For example, Zhou Jia.
Other than Yuan Zhou and Zhou Jia, who came to work early in the morning, there was also Engineer Cheng, who was diligent in his studies. He stood at a fixed position and watched Yuan Zhou cook noodles.
People gave him the nickname — Door God Cheng.
The noodles for 12 customers were prepared beforehand. Therefore, in less than 5 minutes, Yuan Zhou had already cooked half of the noodles.
"Boss Yuan is still so fast." Ma Zhida, who was the first to get the noodles, sighed with emotion.
"Of course. Boss Yuan is the fastest." Manman drank a mouthful of the broth and said affirmatively.
Once Manman said that, Ma Zhida almost couldn't help but spit out the broth he had just drunk.
"Manman, how do you know Boss Yuan is fast? Don't tell me the truth. "The customer beside her was a male. He immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Manman in surprise.
"Yeah. Don't talk nonsense. As a man, he can be short or thin, but he can't be fast." Another customer humphed.
However, there were also some customers who looked at Yuan Zhou and then snickered.
Seeing the customers in the restaurant tease her, Manman finally understood. She immediately explained with a flushed face.
"What are you thinking? I mean Boss Yuan cooks fast and well." Manman said loudly.
"Yeah, I know. Boss Yuan is of course very good." Ma Zhida nodded the head.
Originally, Ma Zhida wanted to follow her to tease her. But when he saw the manner of Yuan Zhou and then looked at the Clear Broth Noodle Soup in front of him, he gave up the tempting idea and said obediently.
However, Yuan Zhou turned a deaf ear to these discussions and just cooked the noodles silently. Of course, if he didn't try to add some Devil Chili to Manman's bowl, it would be more convincing.
Fortunately, Manman was the second in line and had already eaten her Clear Broth Noodle Soup.
After all, Yuan Zhou believed that he was quite capable of cooking fast or not.
There were only 100 servings of breakfast. Compared with lunch and dinner, it naturally ended faster. The customers who had eaten breakfast naturally left contentedly.
Those who didn't eat it also felt relieved. As long as Boss Yuan came back, they would naturally be able to eat it. At worst, they could come back to line up again at noon.
That was the thought of other customers.
Sometimes, they didn't have to eat it. As long as they saw Yuan Zhou's restaurant open again, they would have a sense of satisfaction.
It seemed that it had become a habit to see Yuanzhou shop open and close. Some people studied fortune-telling and even said that Boss Yuan's restaurant was a shop of luck. After a lot of analysis, the final conclusion was that one would have good luck if he opened the restaurant.
This was metaphysics. No matter how good one's luck was, metaphysics couldn't change one's fate. If one was unlucky, one would still be unlucky.
After breakfast, Zhou Jia said goodbye to Yuan Zhou with a smile while Engineer Cheng stayed behind.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Engineer Cheng not leave, Yuan Zhou asked.
"Master Yuan, how do you feel in Thailand?" Engineer Cheng revealed a smile on his simple and honest face.
"Not bad." Yuan Zhou thought of his stomach that had been hurting for several days and then said lightly.
"There will be a gourmet meeting in Vietnam recently. Will you go?" Engineer Cheng asked.
"No." Yuan Zhou refused immediately.
What a joke. His stomach had just recovered. If he went to a country with no food now, he probably wouldn't be able to recover for the rest of the year.
"Have you received the invitation?" Yuan Zhou suddenly asked.
"Yes. I am the chief judge there." Engineer Cheng said embarrassedly.
After all, Engineer Cheng was still a little embarrassed to say that he was the chief judge of the gourmet meeting in front of Yuan Zhou. He had a feeling of showing off his slight skill in front of an expert.
After all, Yuan Zhou was much better than him in both craftsmanship and understanding of food ingredients.
"It's pretty good." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"Thank you." Engineer Cheng thanked him.
"It's because of your own ability." Yuan Zhou said earnestly.
"It's because you taught me well. Thank you." When Engineer Cheng said that, he was quite earnest. When he expressed his gratitude, he bent his waist to 90 degrees earnestly.
When Master Cheng bowed to express his gratitude, Yuan Zhou didn't avoid it. He could accept it.
"Um. There won't be any new dishes these days." Yuan Zhou suddenly said.
"Thank you, Master Yuan." Engineer Cheng was overjoyed.
That's right. This was the reason why Engineer Cheng was hesitant about whether to go to the gourmet meeting in Vietnam. If he left and Yuan Zhou served new dishes, he would suffer a great loss.
However, he didn't dare to say that and he couldn't say that. After all, Yuan Zhou had said that he wasn't his apprentice. But now that Yuan Zhou said so himself, Engineer Cheng was quite moved.
"All right. Let's go." Yuan Zhou knitted his brows and then waved his hand.
"Okay. I will bring you some gifts from Vietnam by then." Engineer Cheng revealed a big smile on his face.
"No need. Just prepare for the meeting well." Yuan Zhou said.
"Don't worry. I won't disgrace you." Engineer Cheng guaranteed.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and didn't say anything more.
"Master Yuan, if you are going out these days, you can ask him to pick you up." Engineer Cheng took out a phone and put it on the table.
Yuan Zhou looked at the phone number on the table and then looked at Engineer Cheng without saying anything.
"This is my apprentice's number. He has nothing to do these days. If you need anything, just call him. He drives very stably." Engineer Cheng said earnestly.
"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and didn't refuse.
"Okay. I'm leaving now. Bye, Master Yuan." Engineer Cheng was quite happy when he found Yuan Zhou didn't refuse.
"Have a safe trip." Yuan Zhou said.
"Okay. Bye." Engineer Cheng walked to the door and turned his head to wave his hand again.
Not until Engineer Cheng left did Yuan Zhou pick up the phone number on the table and go upstairs.
"He's really considerate." Yuan Zhou put the number into the drawer of the bedside table and murmured.
Although Yuan Zhou wouldn't ask others to do things for him, Engineer Cheng's action was very considerate. Although he didn't become Yuan Zhou's apprentice, he really respected Yuan Zhou as his master.
