However, Yu Chu didn't know about Zhou Shijie's situation. He was currently very happy, and he spoke to the people behind him with a rare smile on his face.
"Let's split the bill and eat the All-Fish Banquet today. We can't usually eat this," Yu Chu said.
"I know. It's because there are many rules in Boss Yuan's restaurant," the person who spoke was very skinny. He was about the same age as Yu Chu.
This person was really skinny. Even Jiang Changxi would feel inferior when she saw his waist. He was definitely shorter than 1.8 feet. However, his complexion was very good and he looked fair and clean. It was just that his eyebrows were very light and he liked to raise his eyebrows when he spoke.
"Looks like you have done your homework, Li Zi. You already know the rules as soon as you arrive," Yu Chu said with satisfaction.
"Of course. I have been looking through the information about this restaurant while I was on the train, such as the most delicious dishes in the restaurant, the top ten malignant tumors in the restaurant and so on. I have read a little about them," the person called Li Zi didn't try to be modest. He raised his eyebrows and said that.
"The strategy guide is pretty good. But the information about the party online is still worth reading," Yu Chu suggested.
"Of course. I have also read the detailed explanation of the ingredients and usage," Li Zi said confidently.
The two of them spoke very seriously. From the titles of the books, it sounded like they were reading some incredible books. More importantly, they were discussing seriously as if they were doing academic research.
In truth, these books were all information about Yuanzhou Shop compiled by the experts on the internet. Every single one of them looked very professional.
Both the typesetting and proofreading were very rigorous. They could be published directly.
Seeing that the opening time of the restaurant was getting closer, the two of them started to worry about whether they could eat the dishes as soon as possible.
"We came early today, so we can enter the restaurant in the second batch. This timing is pretty good," Yu Chu said with a nod.
"Seems like it. Twelve customers can enter Boss Yuan's restaurant for the first time. We are the fifteenth and sixteenth, so we can definitely enter the restaurant in the second batch," Li Zi said.
With a sound of "Hua La", five minutes before the opening time, Yuan Zhou pulled the door open.
"Hello, Boss," Zhou Jia greeted obediently.
"Um," Yuan Zhou nodded and returned to the kitchen.
Just as Yuan Zhou turned around, the system's reminder rang out.
The system displayed, "The mission of the exemplary restaurant has been completed. Host, please receive your reward."
Yuan Zhou's footsteps stopped for a moment, and then he said, "Got it."
After saying this in his heart, Yuan Zhou did not say anything else. He quietly began to stir-fry the side dishes.
Five minutes passed very quickly. Not long after, Zhou Jia's voice rang outside the restaurant, indicating that it was time for dinner.
Now, Zhou Jia was very punctual according to the clock in the shop. Almost every day, she would use the time in the shop to adjust her own time, just to be accurate.
The customers were very obedient. As soon as Zhou Jia said that, the first 12 customers outside the door rushed into the restaurant. Of course, Engineer Cheng was also waiting at the side.
"Hello, Master Yuan." Engineer Cheng greeted.
In response to Engineer Cheng's greeting, Yuan Zhou nodded to indicate that he had heard him. Then, he faced the customers and said earnestly, "Please take a seat."
Every time, Yuan Zhou would greet the customers who entered the restaurant and then return to his seat, waiting for Zhou Jia's menu.
"Dad, there's only one chef here? There's not even a helper? " As it wasn't Zhou Xi's and Zhou Shijie's turn to order dishes, Zhou Xi couldn't help asking impatiently.
"Sit down properly." Zhou Shijie knitted his brows.
On hearing Zhou Shijie's words, Zhou Xi retracted his trembling legs subconsciously and sat upright.
"How long do we have to wait? There are more than 10 people here and only one person is cooking." Not long after, Zhou Xi said again.
"Dad, you told me to keep a skeptical attitude towards things that I don't understand." Seeing Zhou Shijie knitting his brows and revealing a dissatisfied look, Zhou Xi immediately continued saying.
"So you're just going to use it here?" Zhou Shijie said discontentedly.
Zhou Xi really wanted to say yes, but when he saw Zhou Shijie's unusually serious look, he gave up and lowered his head listlessly. However, when he thought of the art exhibition today, he felt it was a waste of time to come here.
"Wait to eat quietly and then tell me your feelings." Seeing his son seemingly soften, Zhou Shijie said.
"Do I have to write my feelings after eating here?" Zhou Xi pointed at himself and said in astonishment.
That's right. Zhou Xi had been taken by Zhou Shijie to those so-called delicious restaurants outside, but none of them could match his father's culinary skills.
As the son of the chairman of China Chefs' Alliance, even if he didn't know how to cook, he still had a very high standard for food.
Zhou Xi didn't think the dishes here were delicious. As the saying went, if one didn't lack anything since childhood, he wouldn't feel the importance of those things.
This was the reason why some rich second generations didn't put their money in front of them.
"Of course. He's Yuan Zhou." Zhou Shijie nodded his head deservedly and then signaled Zhou Xi to look at Yuan Zhou who was in the kitchen.
"He's the new genius chef you mentioned." Zhou Xi said with a disapproving tone.
"It's him. If you eat his dishes, you should be able to change your mind." Zhou Shijie said affirmatively.
"I won't learn to cook." Zhou Xi said while looking at Zhou Shijie's eyes this time.
"I won't force you to learn. But you have to understand chefs. You have to understand that cooking is an art, just like the paintings that you like," Zhou Shijie said earnestly.
That's right. Zhou Shijie had spent so much effort and advised his son to come to Yuan Zhou's restaurant just to change his son's mind.
Zhou Xi was probably tired of watching Zhou Shijie being a chef since he was young. Therefore, he wasn't interested in being a chef at all. He even said that a chef was just a person who cooked. No matter how delicious the dishes were, they couldn't let people absorb anything nutritious.
No matter what they ate, they would soon forget it. They couldn't make people feel satisfied from the bottom of their hearts.
They couldn't make people feel satisfied spiritually. Later on, he even felt that eating was purely for filling his stomach.
This was Zhou Xi's thought. Even though Zhou Shijie had been taking him to eat delicious dishes and trying to correct his extreme thoughts, it didn't work.
"Dad, I don't like to hear you say that. Eating is eating. If you like to eat delicious food, I will accompany you. But you can't compare my passion with painting," Zhou Xi said seriously.
"Cooking is my passion," Zhou Shijie said.
"Yes. Of course, it's your passion. But cooking isn't that simple. You are also a chef. You should know that cooking is easy, but painting is not so easy," Zhou Xi said.
"Cooking is easy? Good. I hope you won't ask me to take you here again after this meal, "Zhou Shijie said affirmatively.
"Don't worry. I won't," Zhou Xi said, "I definitely won't."
Just as the father and son were arguing with each other, Zhou Jia came to them and ordered dishes.
