2619 Chapter 163 pastry platter
Ling Hong’s figure soon disappeared in the thick fog. As the distance between them grew, even the sound of his footsteps gradually disappeared.
Only when he couldn’t hear her anymore did Yuan Zhou turn around and walk into the restaurant. While walking, he started to plan.
“I can only eat half a month’s worth of it. It seems that I have to record the time so that I don’t forget it. But next time, should I try a new flavor? I might get a little tired of eating just one flavor.”
He didn’t run to the front today. Therefore, before he went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast, Yuan Zhou first opened the door and told the boss of the noodle restaurant that he had two bowls of noodles to be served. After that, he washed up, changed his clothes, and went into the kitchen.
The matter of Ling Hong’s appearance was only known to Yuan Zhou and Yin ya. Since Ling Hong didn’t publicize it, Yuan Zhou didn’t say much either.
After the matter of the baby’s food, Yuan Zhou began to ponder about the use of the reward from the sea King mission.
The gift pack of snacks and pastry roll was a reward for completing the pub quest. Logically speaking, these pastries should be placed on the liquor list, but in reality, most of the pastries needed time to prepare. Even the most common mung bean cake and the like needed to be soaked in green beans in advance before they could be made. It was not realistic to put them on the menu and order them on the spot.
Similarly, it wasn’t very suitable to put it on the restaurant’s menu, which was a little difficult. Moreover, Lilian had not returned to France. On one hand, she was reluctant to leave the restaurant’s pastries in Chengdu. She also tried the exquisite and beautiful dishes, which refreshed her.
On the other hand, she was visiting Yuan Zhou’s three disciples of Sichuan cuisine and other disciples of other cuisines in Chengdu, hoping to invite one of them to open a restaurant in France. She had already tried her best to get the best discount possible.
It was a pity that neither Cheng zhaomei nor Cao zhishu were moved by the so-called good conditions. Not to mention anything else, they felt that they had not yet learned all of their master’s skills in cooking. How could they have the face to run abroad to open a restaurant? they had to learn more about their master’s cooking first.
Although Lillian had almost always returned in failure, she was still very comfortable with the comfort of delicious food. It was also because she would order some pastries every day, whether they could be made on the spot or needed to be ordered in advance, that Yuan Zhou couldn’t forget the reward of the Sea King.
Previously, he had been busy with something. Now that he had time, he naturally came to deal with this problem.
“Why don’t we put it in the tavern? chief Zhu and the others kept saying that there wasn’t enough food to go with the wine. It’s a surprise to add one more, but we still need to pay attention to the way we add it.” Yuan Zhou considered.
In the end, he decided to add a dish of pastry platter to the wine list. As for what kind of platter he would have every day, it would depend on what Yuan Zhou had made today.
No matter what it was, they just had to serve whatever they did that day. This way, they could be casual and surprise the customers. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Yuan Zhou did as he said. Early that morning, he spread the news through su Ruoyan’s mouth, which immediately improved the treatment of those who had already drawn the quota for drinking in the morning.
In the past, it was basically the treatment of an Empress Dowager. Now, it was the treatment of an Emperor. After all, no matter how good the Empress Dowager was, she could only live for a thousand years. However, the Emperor was different. At the very least, he could live for ten thousand years.
In order to see the pastry platter prepared by Yuan Zhou as soon as possible, not only the drinkers but also the diners all became crazy.
Each of them had their own tricks, causing the five lucky ones who had drawn the spots to almost huddle together for warmth. The main reason was that everyone was too resourceful. It didn’t take long for them to know who had drawn the spots, so they began to make all kinds of phone calls, encounter each other, and so on. The only central idea was that they wanted to go out and drink with them.
It was already a hot cake in the first place. After Yuan Zhou spread the news of the increase of the joint plates of pastries, it became even more popular.
Of course, with so many people, it was naturally not enough to meet everyone’s needs. Therefore, the few of them were determined to choose on a first come, first served basis, which perfectly solved the problem.
After that, they had lunch and dinner, looking forward to the pub time.
The dinner time had just ended at eighto’ clock. Some people started waiting without even leaving the shop. Some people were unlucky and had to work overtime. They didn’t make it for dinner, but they made it for drinking. They dragged their hungry stomachs and waited for the dishes to go with the wine to fill their stomachs. For example, li mu had arrived at the small shop at eighto’ clock in a hurry.
At 8:10 am, almost all the people who were qualified to drink had arrived. Originally, there were only five drinking spots, and each person could only bring five people at most, which was about 20 people. But now, a rough count showed that there were 30 people. If one counted carefully, it would be more than that. It was really crowded.
“Oh, elder Wang, you’re here for a drink too. I don’t usually see you. It’s a pleasure, a pleasure.”
“Boss Li, you’re really early today. I wonder how the construction site in Chengnan is doing. Don’t worry, the materials will definitely be here tomorrow morning.”
“Professor Zhang is also here today. It’s not easy. Let’s study the topic we talked about last time again. I feel that this topic is very constructive and we can start taking action as soon as possible.”
Everyone smiled and greeted each other, especially those who had brought them here with a quota. The other diners who were freeloading on the table were quite polite.
There were both unfamiliar and familiar faces among the 30-odd people. For example, Lilian’s face was particularly familiar. She followed closely beside man man. Man man was the one who was in Tang Xi’s queue while Lilian was the accessory on man man’s leg. Judging from her posture, she seemed to want to stick close to man man all the time, and it was clear that this accessory was quite worthy of her name.
Lilian didn’t know that they were here for the pastries, so she didn’t want to miss it. It was only natural for her to be thick-skinned and follow them. Fortunately, she had already settled the matter of man man opening a shop in Toulouse, which she had promised her.
Except for man man and Tang Xi’s group, which was a group of pure women, the others were almost all men. However, with Jiang Changxi, who had a strong aura, holding the line, naturally, no one wanted to join in the fun.
Looking at Jiang Changxi, who was full of aura, her strong sense of existence was very threatening. Many customers who wanted to come to the restaurant to get close to Tang Xi and the others to get a place in the quota were discouraged.
Because the quota was really limited, many diners didn’t have a way to contact the person who had drawn the quota. They also wanted to drink, so they could only use the stupid way, which was to wait in the restaurant. Maybe if they were lucky, they would have the opportunity to hitch a ride.
Some people had succeeded before, so many diners who didn’t get a slot or had no connections but wanted to drink would wait at the restaurant before the pub time started, especially today.
Today, the people who had drawn the spots had brought more people than usual. Naturally, those who were waiting at the scene didn’t have a chance. In addition, the people who took the lead had extremely strong auras, so ordinary people really didn’t dare to step forward.
Among them, Zhou Shijie’s group of elderly people were definitely the rarest. They were all about 60 years old, but they looked very energetic. Their faces were red, and they held their heads high. They didn’t look any worse than young people.
It could also be said that luck couldn’t be stopped. It was rare for Zhou Shijie to have the time to come here for breakfast on a whim and to draw a quota at the same time. Originally, he had a dispensable attitude and wanted to try it out. He didn’t expect to get it.
