Chapter 2466: The contest for the spots
Translator: 549690339
The slightly bitter cold bean jelly combined with the rich flavor of the beef. The combination of the cold bean jelly and the hot Guokui took turns in the mouth, one cold and one hot. It was crisp and soft with a little bit of melting at the touch, which surprised qu Yue.
Even though she had eaten a lot of Guokui cold noodles, it was the first time she had eaten one that had such a sharp contrast and such a delicious taste that was extremely in line with her appetite.
“It’s so delicious, but I can only eat two. ” Qu Yue quickly licked her already clean fingers.
When other Guokui cold noodles were eaten, the juice would flow out. However, when it came to Yuan Zhou, he didn’t have such an effect even if he wanted to. Even if his fingers were very clean, qu Yue still felt that there must be some residual taste. Thus, she subconsciously licked them. After all, everyone did the same thing.
Big brother, let’s not talk about second brother.
Qu Yue touched her slightly protruding belly and used all her strength to tell her that she was full. Of course, the rules of the store were a strong restraint, so she didn’t order any more sauce and directly left the store.
Of course, qu Yue was being so nice today because she was really lucky to have drawn a spot to eat hotpot.
Otherwise, even if he didn’t bring any bread or mantou as usual, he would still order a portion of sauce and eat it alone before leaving.
Usually, qu Yue would bring a white steamed bun or a few slices of Tusi for breakfast so that she could order some sauce, blueberry jam, beef mince, or other sauces after breakfast.
The reason why he didn’t bring it today wasn’t because he had predicted that he would get a spot, but because he had rushed out in a hurry so that he could have a chance to draw the lottery. Of course, this was also a gain. At least he got a spot to eat hot pot, right?
“Xiaoyue, we’ve known each other for three months. Shouldn’t we have a meal together to show our appreciation? this small restaurant is good enough. Hot pot is the best place to bond.”
“Miss Ling, you look familiar. Although we haven’t spoken much, it’s fate that brought us together in master chef Restaurant. For the sake of this fate, I’ve decided to buy all the drinks for lunch. Coconut juice, orange juice, cool Apple, anything you want.”
“Take me with you for lunch. It’ll be more lively with more people. The essence of eating hotpot is that there are more people. I can help.”
As soon as qu Yue stepped out of the shop, she was surrounded by people who had eaten breakfast in front of her and were just waiting in line for the lucky draw.
At first glance, qu Yue found some familiar faces and some unfamiliar faces. They were probably the kind that they had just met for the first time. However, that didn’t prevent them from showing 120% enthusiasm for qu Yue. She could only say that boss Yuan’s hotpot was really charming.
All of them were either in suits or dresses, with exquisite makeup and elite looks. But now, they looked like uncles and aunties in the market, as if they were waiting in front of the supermarket every morning to grab the special offer.
Of course, she wouldn’t eat hotpot alone. Qu Yue didn’t have such an idea either. Before going in for breakfast, she had already agreed to take the three of them out for a meal. Now that there were more than a dozen people around, it was impossible for everyone to get their wish.
“Cough, cough, cough.”
Qu Yue cleared her throat and waited for everyone to quieten down before she immediately said,””I can still give up five spots, just the five people who spoke first.”
Qu Yue quickly decided on who to send. It was not that she was being perfunctory, but she could not afford to offend anyone if she wanted to build up her network. It all depended on who was lucky.
As soon as qu Yue finished speaking, the three men and two women who were the first to speak all smiled happily. Although the others were disappointed, they didn’t feel dissatisfied because they had been too slow.
Qu Yue was finally able to leave after she exchanged information with a few others and agreed on a time to meet at noon.
She was going to go shopping to consume some energy. Eating hotpot was the same as eating a buffet. She had to hold the wall when she went in and hold the wall when she came out in order to enjoy herself. Especially since it was Yuan Zhou’s first time serving a real hotpot, qu Yue felt it was necessary to make full preparations in order to live up to Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship.
The other nine people who had the same experience as qu Yue were the ones who had drawn the quota to eat hotpot. Of course, different people received different treatment.
For example, after Queen Jiang finished her meal and before she even walked out of the store, she received calls from many business partners, asking for a spot. As for the distribution of benefits in the contract, everyone could discuss it again. All of them were very easy to talk to, unlike the iron-faced and selfless people on the previous negotiation table.
As for Mao Xiong, he was bombarded by the girls, such as Meng Meng, man man and the others. Speaking of which, three women for one show, five or six women was not as simple as two shows.
After an extremely difficult struggle, the quota for eating hot pot at noon finally came to an end.
Although the ten of them had not discussed it, they still controlled the number of people at each table to be ten people. It was not because they wanted to eat to their heart’s content.
Even if one slot brought nine people, it was still a drop in the bucket for the huge number of diners of the master chef Restaurant. Many people were already rubbing their fists and wiping their palms, hoping that they would be blessed by the goddess of luck next time and be able to draw the lottery.
In order to let the customers have a perfect dining experience and, of course, to make himself more relaxed, Yuan Zhou specially called Mao Ye over to work overtime. Of course, Yuan Zhou only made this decision after asking Mao Ye if he was free. Otherwise, the backup team would be on standby at any time.
In the blink of an eye, it was already noon.
They didn’t need to line up to get a number in advance. Although they didn’t arrive at the same time as before, they still arrived in advance.
Not long after, Mao Ye and su Ruoyan also arrived. Looking at the time, they found that Yuan Zhou had already told them in advance that they could let the customers in 10 minutes in advance. Therefore, they opened the door that would only be opened when they were roasting the whole lamb.
The door was originally ajar, and after it was pushed open with a creak, the scene inside was revealed.
In comparison, the main hall outside was actually not much different from master chef Restaurant ‘s. Even the semi-open kitchen was similar. The only difference was that the kitchen here only had a few large pots, a stove, and many shelves. It was different from the exquisiteness of the store.
In addition, there were three big round tables in the originally empty restaurant with a hollow space in the middle for cooking the hotpot. Of course, the type and method of cooking the hotpot hadn’t been decided yet. Therefore, the tables in the restaurant were different from those in other restaurants. They were specially customized by Yuan Zhou.
There was a table and a chair, and the distance between them was quite wide. At least, there was no problem for a person to turn around.
The customers who had followed su Ruoyan and the others in were already used to such a style. They did not ask why there was only one chair and directly picked up the folding stool that they had brought and sat down on the table.
The rest of the people who did not have a seat were led by su Ruoyan and the others to either the small courtyard or to the second floor.
The layout of the houses in Taoxi road was similar. There were three tables on each floor of the two-story building. In addition to the four tables in the courtyard, there were ten tables in total, not one more or one less.
