Yuan Zhou felt a chill on his back. When he carried the dishes out, he met Wu Hai’s resentful eyes.

“You haven’t left?” Yuan Zhou put down the dishes and retreated to the kitchen without a trace and then asked.

“I have some questions to ask.” Wu Hai said gloomily.

“Oh.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then returned to the kitchen to cook at a faster speed.

What a joke. Wu Hai was obviously busy with something. Asking him now was asking for trouble.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou directly went back to the kitchen to cook. It seemed that Wu Hai wasn’t in a hurry at the moment, but Wu Hai’s intense gaze seemed to be like a dagger on his back.

Fortunately, Yuan Zhou was so engrossed in cooking that he could ignore everything.

Dinner time passed by quickly, especially after the new dish was announced. Everyone started to discuss the new dish after dinner.

Before they knew it, it was almost the end. At this time, ding Nan and the short, fat man, who were in the last batch, came in.

As soon as the two of them entered the restaurant, they met Jiang Changxi’s eyes. Ding Nan pulled the brim of his hat uncomfortably, but he still sat down calmly.

The chunky man, on the other hand, was much more at ease. He went straight to sit beside ding Nan and picked up the menu naturally.

“Do.you.speak.english.”The short and fat man asked in fluent English while holding the menu.

“no。”Zhou Jia also expressed that she didn’t know how to speak in English politely.

Unfortunately, Zhou Jia actually knew how to communicate in English. She learned this ability after working in the restaurant, because there were still foreign tourists who came to the restaurant for meals from time to time.

Although they both loved and hated each other after the meal, there were still quite a number of them. In order to provide better service, Zhou Jia chose an additional course in the night university, which was English.

However, the reason why she had answered in English was that she had clearly heard this person speak fluent Chinese before she had entered the door. Now, he was asking her in English if she knew English.

After receiving Jiang Changxi’s reminder, Zhou Jia naturally shook her head and said no.

“Fine, we accept us dollars but no one knows English.” The chunky man muttered in a voice that was neither loud nor soft. Then, he continued to look at the menu.

After looking at it for a while, the short and fat man spoke again,””I’d like an Australian pan-fried lamb chop,”

“I’m sorry, our restaurant only provides the dishes that are available on the menu for the time being. We don’t have this dish for the time being. ” Zhou Jia said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

“You don’t even have this? It’s indeed a small shop. ” The short and fat man muttered again.

As soon as the chunky man entered the restaurant, he started to find fault with Yuan Zhou, as if he was a professional at finding fault after receiving money. However, ding Nan was quite satisfied with his behavior. He held the menu and stared at Yuan Zhou who was cooking in the kitchen without a trace.

“What else would you like to eat today?” Zhou Jia said.

“Then I’ll just have a French white wine, mussels. I don’t see any matching drinks, right? then I’ll have a Hawaiian Pineapple as the after-meal fruit.” The short and fat man waved his hand and said casually.

“Okay, please make the payment first. You can pay by bank transfer or cash, but you need to pay in US dollars. Of course, you only need to pay according to the current exchange rate.” Zhou Jia nodded her head and then reached out her hand to signal him.

“I know.” Strangely, the short and fat man didn’t say anything about this, but directly paid the money.

“What would you like to eat, Sir?” Zhou Jia turned her head and asked ding Nan.

“I’m in the same boat as him. I don’t have any lamb chops anyway. ” Ding Nan’s muffled voice came from behind the mask.

That’s right. Even though ding Nan was recognized by Jiang Changxi, he still stubbornly didn’t take off his mask and was still wearing it even now.

“Okay, please pay first and wait a moment.” Zhou Jia said.

“Got it, I’ve transferred the money to you.” Ding Nan waved his hand impatiently and then said.

“Yes, I have received it. Please wait a moment.” Zhou Jia nodded her head and then retreated to order the dishes for the other customers politely.

At the side, Wu Hai turned his head and looked at Jiang Changxi, saying,””Is this the reason you’re staying here?”

“Yes,” Jiang Changxi nodded her head.

“I’d better just throw it out. It’ll hurt my eyes.” Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and said.

“Don’t affect Compass’s business. ” Jiang Changxi glared at him and said.

“Alright, I’ll throw it out later.” Wu Hai nodded his head readily.

“Then do as you wish.” Jiang Changxi said indifferently.

Jiang Changxi didn’t lower her voice when she talked to Wu Hai. The former did it on purpose while the latter didn’t care at all. Therefore, ding Nan and the short and fat man both heard it.

This made the short and fat man, who was originally talking about how this French white wine scallop should be eaten with bread, a glass of beer, and French fries, tense his back and stop.

“What should we do?” The short and fat man turned his head to look at his new customer. Although he was here to cause trouble, he was not here to be troubled.

“It’s fine. We’re business partners, so I have to give my dad some face. ” Ding Nan’s tone was lacking.

“I hope so,” The short and fat man tilted his head slightly and looked at Jiang Changxi, who had a strong aura, and the familiar-looking Wu Hai. He couldn’t help muttering in his heart.

They weren’t muttering to each other. One should know that Jiang Changxi and Wu Hai were not the only ones who were displeased with them. Even the customers at the side were in a state of “eat if you like” or “get lost if you don’t want to eat.” However, in order not to disturb Yuan Zhou’s business, they all unanimously maintained silence.

After all, there weren’t many people who were willing to be slapped in the face, so it wouldn’t be too late to deal with them after they left.

Fortunately, the awkward time didn’t last long. After a short while, Zhou Jia came over with a tray.

On the table was naturally the French white wine mussels that they had ordered.

As usual, Yuan Zhou didn’t go with any bread or beer like the short and fat man had said. Instead, he served a plate of purple mussels.

The appearance of the dish was not bad. The purplish-black shells of the mussels were shiny, and the meat looked plump and juicy. The parsley on top of the shellfish gave off a mesmerizing fragrance.

“Please enjoy your meal.” Zhou Jia put the plates in front of them and then left.

“Oh, the fragrance is not bad.” The short and fat man praised sincerely.

“Hurry up and eat. Let’s see if there’s any difference.” Although ding Nan also felt that the fragrance was tempting, he still reminded her.

“No problem,” he said. The short and fat man nodded, then picked up a knife and fork to eat.

That’s right. A fork and knife were provided for Yuan Zhou’s dish. A short and fat Australian man with a Chinese appearance was skillfully using the fork and knife to eat the mussels.

The opening of each clam revealed the fat and tender meat inside. The mussels would become tough and chewy if they were cooked for a long time. Therefore, the heat control of this dish was very important.

However, the dish in front of him clearly did not have such a small problem. With just a slight move of the fork, the entire scallop meat was exposed.

“Zhi”, the short and fat man gently put the mussels into his mouth. With just a small movement, the rich soup absorbed by the mussels immediately flowed out.

This time, the aroma was even more obvious. The white wine with a little fruit fragrance mixed with the fresh and sweet taste of the sea water of the mussels and the meat of the mussels rushed straight into the short and fat man’s throat.
