Chapter 2364: Not for nothing
Translator: 549690339
Gao Hui and Zuozuo had never been to the small Tavern before, so even though they knew that there was a paradise here, they did not expect it to be so beautiful.
Under the bright lights, the trees in the distance formed shade, and the flowers bloomed nearby. Even though it was just a small courtyard, it gave people a feeling of vitality, making people feel very comfortable.
Wei Wei, who had been here before, didn’t follow Zuozuo this time. It wasn’t that Wei Wei didn’t want to come, but she knew that Zuozuo’s senior brother was here. Even if she came, she would only say a few words of encouragement. Moreover, the small Tavern was indeed not big.
Therefore, he didn’t join in the fun and thus reduced Yuan Zhou’s burden.
When Zuozuo and Gao Hui pulled their gazes away from the scenery in the small courtyard, they were once again attracted by the exquisitely arranged and beautiful scene on the second floor.
Yuan Zhou observed the expressions of the two customers without a trace and found that they appreciated the changes in the pub very much. He immediately felt relieved. Since all the customers who came here for the first time liked it, the old customers would naturally like it as well. After all, they were all customers of the master chef Restaurant and their aesthetic taste must be similar to his.
The moment Yuan Zhou appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of many customers.
“Boss Yuan, you’re finally here. Quickly tell us if this round table is used for performing.” President Shu shouted.
Don’t look at how old he was, he probably had a voice that was trained to shout at his disciples, that shout was full of energy.
It was no wonder that chief brew Shu was in a hurry for Yuan Zhou to judge. The reason was that Wu Hai felt the table was too small to be placed and thus wanted to occupy a table by himself.
If it wasn’t for the majority of the more than 20 people disagreeing with him, Wu Hai might have occupied the Round Table by himself. He wouldn’t even need to fight for the dishes. All the dishes would be his.
Of course, the momentum of the Black Beast was unstoppable. Therefore, when chief brew Shu saw Yuan Zhou, he felt as if he had seen his Savior.
“It’s indeed for performance. ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said affirmatively,”it’s mainly because the pub is small. There’s no other entertainment besides wine and food. I’ve specially prepared some programs for everyone and will bring some performances from time to time in the future. I hope everyone will like them.”
“What performance? actually, it’s fine as long as we order more dishes.” Wu Hai said directly.
Although they all felt that Yuan Zhou could not cook more dishes on the program, they couldn’t say that out loud. Not everyone was as shameless as Wu Hai.
“I wonder what kind of program boss Yuan has prepared?” Fang Heng asked first.
Ever since he had learned some skills of making bamboo liquor from Yuan Zhou, the business of his family distillery had been much better. After all, they didn’t have fake wines such as bourbon, rye whiskey, and Kiel.
Just like the other shops along Taoxi road, they all served soup. Yuan Zhou’s wine was of the best quality, but the quota was very small. Many people who were attracted by the liquor worm would choose the Fang family bamboo liquor produced by Fang Heng winery.
“Yes, is there any program? if not, I can make up for it. Just have more wine.” Master Tang couldn’t forget about this.
He didn’t have the burden of being a master at all, as long as there was wine.
“There will be a crosstalk and a storytelling performance today. Everyone can enjoy it.” While saying that, Yuan Zhou made a step aside, revealing Zuozuo and Gao Hui behind him.
It wasn’t because Gao Hui was short and he was blocked like Zuozuo. It was because everyone’s attention had been on Yuan Zhou all along. In addition, the light behind him was dim. The reason for creating the atmosphere was that no one really noticed there were many people.
Now, with Yuan Zhou giving way to Zuozuo and Gao Hui, they became very conspicuous.
More than 20 people’s eyes were all focused on her. At first, Zuozuo was still very nervous, but slowly, probably because of the surrounding atmosphere, her nervousness faded little by little. Even the frequency of her lips trembling decreased.
Before they came up, they had already agreed that Zuozuo would be the first to start. So, taking advantage of the atmosphere, Zuozuo didn’t look at the others. Instead, she lowered her head and put the zither bag down, directly taking out a small lute from inside.
This was what she planned to use as her background music. The erhu that Gao Hui prepared wouldn’t be of any use, so second senior brother directly let Zuozuo do it herself.
When the customers saw Zuozuo’s actions, they didn’t make any more noise but just stared at her. The dishes prepared by boss Yuan were definitely wonderful. Therefore, most of them were focused on Zuozuo.
Of course, there were also exceptions. For example, Wu Hai started to eat the dishes without restraint when n.o.body was paying attention to him. His speed was already fast, but now, his afterimages were even harder to see.
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
Zuozuo took a deep breath, sat on the stool, and held the lute horizontally. After testing out a few notes, she slipped away.
“Don’t talk nonsense, today we’re here to express our good Han Wu jilang. It was said that Wu Song had been to the Shaolin Temple to learn fist techniques, and he had learned it for eight years. When he went home, he made a scene at Dongyue Temple and injured five of the Li family’s tyrants …”
This was Zuozuo’s first lecture. She carefully selected the clips of Wu Song fighting the Tiger, which included many clips of Wu Song drinking in the pub. It seemed to be suitable for Yuan Zhou’s pub, which was also the reason why she chose this segment.
It could be seen that it was carefully prepared. When Zuozuo opened her mouth, her voice was powerful and low. When she spoke, it had a little charm. She would occasionally play the PIPA with some background music, which made everyone’s spirit rise.
All the guests were waiting for Zuozuo’s performance. Now that she had suddenly opened her mouth, it was like an expert had made a move to know whether she was good or not.
At first, seeing how small Zuozuo was, she thought it was good to sing some tunes in the soft Wu Nong language.
However, the moment Zuozuo opened her mouth, everyone’s body trembled. Her imposing manner and powerful words were clear and eloquent. When she spoke, it was as if there was an image of a strong and boorish man in front of them, drinking large bowls of wine and eating large pieces of meat, bold and unrestrained.
Even Gao Hui couldn’t help but be shocked. When he saw Zuozuo’s appearance on the stage, he had a kind of feeling that ‘my daughter has just grown up’.
Then, he took out his mobile phone and planned to record a piece of good news for his master. Although he had been away for a few years, it didn’t mean that he didn’t pay attention to his Master’s News. Naturally, he knew that his master’s beard had turned white from worry about Zuozuo’s matter, although he hadn’t grown a beard yet.
“Head chef Yuan, can I record a part of it?” Gao Hui asked for Yuan Zhou’s opinion in a low voice.
“Sure.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.
He didn’t have any rules that prohibited recording. As long as they didn’t disturb the other customers, they would be fine. Didn’t they see that Fang Heng and the others were very excited?
After getting permission, Gao Hui directly took his phone and squatted on the left side of the table. He turned on the camera function of his phone and started recording.
As for Zuozuo, after she went on stage, other than the initial nervousness, she looked up and saw many familiar faces below. They were all friends who had eaten at the same restaurant before. She immediately felt very comfortable. Then, she raised her hand and played the lute. Naturally, she blurted out the words she had prepared.
He was so skilled and natural that he didn’t look like he was on stage for the first time, but like a veteran.
Looking at her performance, she didn’t look at all like the timid Zuozuo who didn’t dare to speak in front of everyone more than a month ago.
“Zuozuo’s right, it’s just that your voice was a little soft, but I didn’t give you a free meal. ” Yuan Zhou was also very satisfied with Zuozuo’s performance.
