Chapter 396: An Interesting Mission

Translator: Xiong_Guoqi Editor: DesTheSloth

[Chef's test] The mission requires the host to cook a dish with only flavorings.

(Mission tips: The flavorings can be selected without formality. You can use various flavorings. Just develop your imagination, young man.)

[Mission reward] The ingredients can be selected and the price can be set as you like.

(Reward tips: Seldom is it open to choose. Host, please use your imagination well.)

"This mission looks so interesting." Yuan Zhou hung up the wet towel and then said with interest.

The system displayed, "The mission of the Chef's Test will be released at random. There is no time limit to complete that."

"Does this reward mean that as long as I succeed, you will provide ingredients for the dish like others?" Yuan Zhou asked carefully.

The system displayed, "Yes."

"Then what about the profit sharing?" The most concerned point was usually asked the last. Yuan Zhou said that quite indifferently.

The system displayed, "Same as other dishes."

"..." Yuan Zhou had hopefully thought the system wouldn't charge him any fees, like what it did for the Honey Tremella.

It was known to all that when he served this dish, Yuan Zhou had to spend much time on getting the number 1. After all, the pair of brother-sister siblings liked this dish very much.

"How long is the random occurrence?" Yuan Zhou found the test wasn't really difficult and was more like a funny game to improve his culinary skills.

The system displayed, "Uncertain."

"Sometimes, I feel that the introductions aren't from you, but a different person. They have a totally different tone." Yuan Zhou couldn't help ridiculing again.

The system displayed, "This system is always tolerant of unwise people."

"Thank you." Yuan Zhou answered habitually.

Only then did he see the system's answer clearly.

"Damn it. Are you saying that I'm stupid?" Yuan Zhou asked incredulously with his eyes widely open.

Then the system fell silent again.

"What a shame! It seems that I have been despised." Yuan Zhou looked at the word and thought.

"Forget it. I'm a magnanimous man. Better for me to think of the dishes now." Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of the Vegetable Stir-fried With Mushroom cooked that day and felt it was necessary to make another new dish to compensate the customers.

Yuan Zhou didn't intend to cook this dish anymore, unless he became the Master Chef one day.

...

When one did something earnestly, time always passed quickly. In a twinkling of an eye, the pub time at night arrived.

It was rare for Yuan Zhou to be in the pub today.

"Boss Yuan, it's the very first time that I saw you in the pub ever since I came here to drink." A man with a bowl cut said happily, revealing his white teeth.

"Um. Hello." Yuan Zhou greeted him as usual.

"Hey-hey. My name is Meng Meimei and I know you are Yuan Zhou. So we are acquainted now." Meng Meimei scratched his smooth bowl cut and said as if he had been very familiar with Yuan Zhou.

Su Mu laughed ironically at the side, "This guy is going to cheat others again."

"Elder bro, why?" Su Yuesheng asked with curiosity at the side.

"Now you see he's so easy-going. But after you drink several times with him, you'll know this person is way too stingy." Su Mu pointed at Meng Meimei immodestly and said.

"His name sounds good though." Su Yuesheng muttered.

"You won't say so if you know the two characters in his name." Su Mu shrugged.

"Which two characters?" Su Yuesheng opened her eyes wide curiously.

"Two characters of Dai(meaning air-headed) form the compound character of Mei." Su Mu said smilingly.

"Haw-haw. They turn out to be these two characters. So interesting." Looking at Meng Meimei now, Su Yuesheng remembered his name and felt it a little funny.

"Don't listen to your brother bullshit. I'm not stingy, but thrifty." Meng Meimei turned his head and explained to Su Yuesheng with a smile.

"Oh." Su Yuesheng covered her mouth and snickered. Meanwhile, she didn't forget to nod her head.

Yuan Zhou didn't really know how to deal with such kind of people, thus he just kept silent.

"Boss Yuan, you definitely agree with me since you aren't speaking. I know you don't talk much." Meng Meimei said considerately.

"Um." Yuan Zhou answered simply with a vague meaning.

"Boss Yuan, since we are so familiar with each other now, can you tell me when you are going to serve a new liquor, hard liquor. That would be so enjoyable." Meng Meimei walked close to Yuan Zhou smilingly.

"When the time is appropriate." Yuan Zhou answered like that as always.

Chen Wei had asked the same question for more than once, therefore Yuan Zhou answered very fluently and deftly.

"Boss Yuan, do you drink liquor?" Hearing the answer as such, Meng Meimei didn't feel discouraged but instead, started to ask something else.

"Sometimes." Yuan Zhou answered solemnly with his face tightly taut.

At that time, Yuan Zhou didn't actually know what expression he should reveal. After all, he really didn't know this person and thus could only reveal his conventional solemn face.

"Pa", Meng Meimei clapped his hands and said immediately, "In that case, Boss Yuan is supposed to understand the pleasure of a gulp of hard liquor followed by a mouthful of spicy beef. That is really something amazing."

"Chilli?" Yuan Zhou was suddenly inspired as if he had thought of something.

However, Meng Meimei was still saying something without stopping.

"Wait, wait. I suddenly think of a new dish and need to do some research." After Yuan Zhou said that, he immediately turned around and went downstairs without hesitation.

"Ah, has he thought of the new dish so quickly?" Meng Meimei first got dumbfounded and then said that while reaching out his hand toward Yuan Zhou.

"Haw-haw-haw-haw. See? You were rejected. I have already expected that you wouldn't get any answers by asking in that way." Su Mu burst into laughter.

"At least it is better than you." Meng Meimei put his arms down and humphed.

"Let's stop arguing. I'd rather drink my liquor. You are allowed to drink half a cup of liquor today." Su Mu said to his serious sister Su Yuesheng beside him.

"Ok, ok, ok. I got it." An obvious impatience appeared in Su Yuesheng's peach blossom eyes which resembled Su Mu's.

"Obey me and I will bring you here again in future." Su Mu stroked her soft hair on top of Su Yuesheng.

"Elder bro, why isn't that Ling Hong here?" Su Yuesheng asked curiously.

That's right. Of the three dining tables, one was occupied by Su Yuesheng and her brother, the second Meng Meimei and his friends and the last one two rugged men, who sat straight and appeared quite majestic.

Contrarily, Ling Hong, Wu Hai and Chen Wei weren't there.

"That guy is probably having fun with pretty girls." Su Mu said with an evil smile.

"Brother Ling Hong went to flirt with girls again." Su Yuesheng said unhappily while pouting her mouth.

"Haw-haw. Not this time. He is actually having a blind date." Su Mu couldn't help laughing when he said that.

Although a familiar person was gone, the atmosphere of the pub was still boisterous and leisurely.

Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou was thinking of what Meng Meimei had said just now and hence obtained some inspiration for the test.

"For the dish of that test, is there any time restrictions on the sales?" Yuan Zhou inquired about that before he asked for the ingredients.

The system displayed, "Host, you can arrange it by yourself."

"That's good. Then, please provide the ingredients." Yuan Zhou revealed a faint smile and prepared to try the new dish that night.

While Yuan Zhou was developing his new dish, Ling Hong was also mentioning Yuan Zhou's restaurant at his end. However, it was done in a rather subtle manner.
