Chapter 2320: Almost lost first place

“Are we going to line up now?” Gan Zhong looked at the bustling crowd on the street and couldn’t make up his mind.

“Do we need to wait?” Yan Xiliang was also not sure.

According to the information he had found, it seemed that it was not time to line up yet. Otherwise, there would not be no one at the entrance of the restaurant. But it should be soon, because there were already customers waiting.

For example, there were a few people standing under the roof opposite them. They seemed to be hiding from the sun, but their eyes were fixed on the door of master chef Restaurant. The meaning was self-evident.

“The queue starts at 11 O’ clock. There’s still half an hour left. We can sit here and wait.” Director Wang said directly.

At this time, they were standing under the eaves outside master chef Restaurant. Not far from them was a bench for resting. This bench was prepared by the queuing Committee and the street administration to provide convenience for the customers in the queue.

Director Wang had always liked to collect information in advance and didn’t fight a war he wasn’t confident in. As the Association’s military advisor, he was definitely worthy of his name.

“I think it’s fine.” The remaining people all agreed with director Wang’s opinion.

Thus, the group of five directly sat on the chairs with their backs against the master chef Restaurant. Perhaps it was because they were calm and naturally cool, or perhaps it was because they were not under the sun, but they felt much cooler than before.

“Di di da da”

Time passed by.

“Pa”

Wu Hai jumped up from the bed like a carp. While getting off the bed, he combed his hair and appeared to be very anxious. At that time, there were only five minutes left before he had to line up.

“What’s wrong?” Originally, Mao Xiong was handling some matters on his computer and was startled by Wu Hai’s series of actions.

“i have a feeling that we have to go earlier today. otherwise, the first place will definitely be snatched away.” wu hai said seriously.

“then let’s go.” mao xiong believed in wu hai’s judgment very much. originally, she was chatting with her friends and going to paris to buy goods. however, she threw her computer aside and dragged wu hai to the window.

they usually took the slide ladder to go downstairs, which not only saved time but also protected the environment.

“swish”

in just a few seconds, wu hai and yuan zhou arrived downstairs. the moment they stood firmly, they fixed their eyes on yan xiliang and the others who were preparing to stand up.

“there’s really someone who wants to take first place from this beast. ” wu hai pulled the hairy bear and quickly arrived at the position in line at the entrance of the restaurant.

“it seems like we can line up now. let’s go quickly.” director wang said directly.

as a result, the group of five men in suits quickly stood behind hairy bear and the others. it was just a short while.

this time, taoxi road became very lively. the people who were originally under the eaves walked over at a faster speed. even many people who were sitting at the stalls were holding the things in their hands and eating as they walked. they were lining up for fear that they would not be able to get in if they were late.

it took less than a minute from the time wu hai and the bear lined up to the time yan xiliang and the others stood in line. then, a group of people came from behind at an extremely fast speed.

“big brother hai is so smart. we’ve kept our first place.” mao xiong said very happily.

it was actually not a big deal to be the first, but it was a big deal to be the first to taste yuan zhou’s delicacies. therefore, wu hai and the others, who were in a favorable position, had to keep their first place.

“that’s because i’m smart as long as it’s about yuan zhou. ” wu hai was quite smug.

not long after they started to line up, the people from the queuing committee who were on duty today arrived. they put the buckets of sour plum soup under the eaves, took out paper cups, and scooped them up to serve to the customers in the queue.

It was dark brown in color, similar to the color of Chinese medicine, but it smelled sweet and cool. It made him feel much more comfortable.

After drinking a mouthful, the sweet and sour taste spread out in his mouth. Actually, it wasn’t very cold, because Yuan Zhou had told him that if it was too cold, it would easily hurt his stomach. Also, if he drank it too coldly under the hot sun, it wouldn’t be good for his body and it wouldn’t have a good effect on preventing heat stroke.

Therefore, the people of the queuing Committee strictly followed Yuan Zhou’s instructions. Even if the drink wasn’t particularly cold, the sweet and sour taste in the mouth was still a sharp weapon to relieve summer heat and made people feel very comfortable.

“So sour plum soup is also this good?” Yan Xiliang took another sip.

As a master chef, he naturally knew how to cook a niche snack like sour plum soup. However, he felt that even if he cooked it himself, it wouldn’t taste as good as this, not to mention that he had just seen those people make it with sour plum powder.

“It doesn’t feel like it’s soaked at all. It feels more like it’s been carefully cooked. How strange.” Gan Zhong was also curious.

It was probably because of their big movements that the bear in front heard them and turned around to say,””This is the sour plum powder made by boss Yuan.”

What he meant was that Yuan Zhou’s food was naturally delicious, whether it was the rice noodle or cooked on the spot.

Yan Xiliang and the others naturally understood this very well and immediately got used to it.

“So it’s made by head chef Yuan. No wonder it’s so delicious.” Huo ting took the last sip and wanted to order another glass.

He liked this kind of sweet and sour drink. Even as he got older, this hobby had not changed.

While drinking the sour plum soup and talking about Yuan Zhou, time passed by quickly. It was time to get the number and it was time to eat.

“It’s lunchtime. The first 18 customers, please come in for lunch. ” Su Ruoyan stood at the door and recited her daily lines.

Then, with the vigorous movements of Wu Hai and the hairy bear, the lunch began.

Yan Xiliang was startled by the actions of Wu Hai and the others. After being stupefied for a while, he took the lead and walked into the restaurant. Then, he followed Mao Xiong and the others and sat at the seat closest to Yuan Zhou.

When Yuan Zhou saw Yan Xiliang and the others come in, he directly nodded to them as a greeting. During business hours, Yuan Zhou would never speak unless it was absolutely necessary.

As soon as Wu Hai sat down, he began to order the dishes in a familiar way. He didn’t order only for one person, but for two people. Half of the meat was for him and the other half was for the bear. The meat was for him and the other half was for the bear. It was just right for each person.

“What shall we order?” Gan Zhong asked in a low voice.

They weren’t here to test Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills as they weren’t qualified. They were only here to have a meal. However, there were so many Qin dishes that it wasn’t easy to pick out any of them.

“Just choose what you like. It’s delicious anyway.” Yan Xiliang said.

Gan Zhong’s eyes lit up. This was also a way. It would be easy to choose what he liked. There was no need to be conflicted. As the saying went,”you can’t buy what you like with a thousand gold.”

Thus, when su Ruoyan came over to order, gan Zhong was the first to speak,””I’d like a plate of guanzhi three delicacies, Xuanzong chicken, Emperor Ming tofu, and Hongfu of the great Xia.”

Gan Zhong had ordered meat, vegetables, and rice. All of them were dishes that he had wanted to eat, but they were not good enough. He had eaten the dishes made by many people, but he had never tasted the wonderful taste described in the ancient books.

“Vice President, you’re good. They’re all from the eight Treasures. Then I’ll order the simple ones. A Mandarin Duck chicken slice, Lotus fish belly, rock sugar swallow, and stir-fried kidney flower.” Miao Zhonghua followed up.

Miao Zhonghua might be chubby, but he ate really lightly. Just by looking at the dishes he ordered, one could tell. There was very little thick oil and red sauce, and there were also very few strong flavors. However, he was the kind that would put on weight just by drinking water. As a chef, drinking water would put him on weight. If he hadn’t joined the chefs ‘fitness association with Wang Jike, he probably wouldn’t have been able to keep his chubby figure.

It was needless to mention how aggrieved she felt.
