Chapter 1264: As a system
This time, the vegetarian banquet was divided into two dishes, four hot dishes, a snack, and a soup for each person. In total, each person would have eight dishes.
There were eight vegetable dishes and even the oil used in the dishes was vegetable oil. That’s right, even the oil was vegetable. As a result, Wu Hai’s face turned green at a visible rate.
“I’m so miserable. I had to eat an entire gra.s.s-filled banquet.” Wu Hai kept stuffing the last fruits into his mouth while pretending to be pitiful.
“You can choose not to eat.” Yuan Zhou said sharply.
“Then I’m losing out.” Wu Hai swallowed the last mouthful of fruit and said matter-of-factly.
“So you’re complaining because you want to have another meal, right?” Yin ya rolled her eyes and said.
“I think boss Yuan is a man of principle, top-notch culinary skills, n.o.ble character, and especially keeps his promise. He will definitely fulfill this small wish of mine.” Wu Hai said with a serious look.
“Thank you for the compliment.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head to express his grat.i.tude and then continued,”but wishes are wishes because they can never be realized.”
“…” Wu Hai felt that the praise he gave just now was in vain.
“Pfft.” Yin ya couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
/
“It’s getting late, you guys should go back. ” Yuan Zhou looked at the antique mahogany clock on the wall and said lightly.
“It’s almost 10 O’ clock. ” Yin ya followed Yuan Zhou’s line of sight and saw the time on the clock at first glance. Then, she said in surprise.
“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
“No, I’m too hungry to stand up.” Wu Hai waved his hand and revealed a look of despair.
“You didn’t miss out on the dishes just now.” Yin ya exposed him.
“Yes, I did eat a lot of vegetables, but I ate too many vegetables, and the oil in my stomach was sc.r.a.ped off, so I didn’t have the strength to stand up.” Wu Hai nodded his head and said.
“If you stay here for too long, you will disturb boss Yuan’s rest time. If you delay his rest time, you might not be able to eat meat tomorrow.” Yin ya directly a.n.a.lyzed before Yuan Zhou said anything to drive her away.
“Um …” Wu Hai was stunned for a while and then stood up silently.
After all, he still wanted to eat something good tomorrow to nourish his body.
“Let’s go downstairs from where we came from. ” Yuan Zhou said.
“I know, I know,” Wu Hai said weakly.
Seeing Wu Hai’s reaction, Yin ya smiled and then walked one step behind him, walking side by side with Yuan Zhou without a trace.
Yuan Zhou’s heart skipped a beat, but he still walked on calmly on the surface.
When Yuan Zhou, Yin ya and Wu Hai went downstairs, they saw the bamboo rockery that extended to the end of the corridor of Yuan Zhou’s room next door. They couldn’t help asking curiously,””Is there a door there?”
Yin ya asked that because she thought there was a toilet in the newly opened vegetarian banquet hall. As the lights there were not very bright, she subconsciously thought that Yuan Zhou had built a toilet this time.
After all, Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was famous for not having a toilet.
“There’s a way. ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
“Is it the washroom?” Yin ya continued to ask.
“No, it’s the door to my room.” Yuan Zhou answered casually.
However, as soon as he said that, Yin ya’s face suddenly blushed. Then, she pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. She also looked at the stairs in front of her as if she was going down the stairs seriously.
With such a close distance, Yuan Zhou naturally saw the change in Yin ya’s expression. He looked at the door at the end of the corridor with puzzlement and then looked at Yin ya again. Then he thought about what he had just said seriously and said in the heart,”I don’t think I said anything.”
On the other hand, Wu Hai, who was walking in front of Yuan Zhou, looked at the door curiously when he heard it was the door leading to Yuan Zhou’s room. Then he said excitedly,””Is there meat to eat?”
“No, I didn ‘t,” Yuan Zhou confirmed. After thinking for a while, he added,”I don’t eat snacks. There’s nothing to eat in the room.”
“Oh.” Wu Hai continued to go down the stairs.
At the side, the blush on Yin ya’s face slowly faded away, but she didn’t say anything.
For a moment, only the footsteps of the three of them could be heard in the huge store, and the crisp sound echoed in the quiet room.
Moreover, the room was brightly lit and it was not far from the door. In a short while, the three of them arrived at the door. Wu Hai was the first one to open the door and go out.
“Ahem. Thank you for the vegetarian banquet, Yuan Zhou.” Yin ya spoke first.
“You’re welcome. I said I’d treat you. ” Yuan Zhou shook his head and said.
“Alright, see you next time.” Yin ya had already gotten used to Yuan Zhou’s wooden personality. She waved her hand to say goodbye to him naturally and then left.
Of course, Yin ya couldn’t help ridiculing him in her heart while walking.”That feeling of being flirted with just now was indeed an illusion!”
At the side, Wu Hai laid on the door weakly. Yuan Zhou only looked at him when he saw Yin ya walking out of Taoxi road.
“Why are you still not going back?” Yuan Zhou said.
“I just wanted to ask you if you really want to cook a vegetarian banquet once a month?” Wu Hai asked, unwilling to give up.
“You want to do it two days a month?” Yuan Zhou said on purpose.
“No, I think vegetarianism is something that should be done once a year. It’s not good to eat too much.” Wu Hai immediately shook his head and said.
“I think once a month is just right to clear my stomach and get rid of the oil.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Was there any wine to drink on the night of the vegetarian meal?” Wu Hai continued to ask.
“No, I didn ‘t,” Yuan Zhou said.
“If it happens to rain, will we have barbecue?” Wu Hai asked again.
“No, I only made a vegetarian banquet that day.” Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.
After getting Yuan Zhou’s affirmative answer, Wu Hai left the door that he was leaning on and walked unsteadily to the opposite corridor.
Not only Wu Hai’s face, even his back and his hair were engraved with four words: There was nothing to live for.
“I was also a vegetarian that day.” Yuan Zhou added to Wu Hai’s back.
Yuan Zhou’s meaning was quite obvious. He wanted to put an end to Wu Hai’s way of freeloading on his food.
Wu Hai stood there for quite a while and then turned his head to look at Yuan Zhou before he went back. He looked like broth who had lost 10 times in a row.
“It seems that today’s treat was a success.” Seeing Wu Hai enter the stairway, Yuan Zhou revealed a small smile on his face and said gently.
“Close the door and go back to the shop.” Yuan Zhou turned around and closed the door. Then, he returned to his restaurant happily.
Just as Yuan Zhou pushed open the door of the Sergestes wall-view and prepared to take a look at the pub upstairs, the system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
The system displayed,”the host has yet to receive a reward. Please receive it as soon as possible.”
Yuan Zhou’s hand paused for a while. Then, he pushed the door open with his usual expression and asked in the heart,””What reward? I haven’t done any missions recently, have I?”
The system didn’t answer, but displayed,””Host, please receive it as soon as possible.”
“Interesting. Let’s see what the reward is.” Yuan Zhou opened the panel in his mind and started to check.
Yuan Zhou’s heart sank slightly when he saw a gift bag-like object glowing. However, Yuan Zhou was not happy at all, because the words “two-year anniversary gift bag” were written on it.
This reminded Yuan Zhou of the matter when he was duped by the system last time.
“System, I’ve noticed that you’ve fallen. You’re going to use the same move a second time?” Yuan Zhou sneered.
The system displayed,”please receive it as soon as possible. You have three minutes left before the time limit is up.”
“There’s a time limit?” The system didn’t answer him at all. Instead, Yuan Zhou urged him to get the reward and was a little hesitant.
By the time Yuan Zhou walked out of the courtyard and headed to the second floor of the pub, the time limit had been changed to 20 seconds. Only then did Yuan Zhou make up his mind to receive it.
After all, it was a reward. It was best if it was there but not there. Yuan Zhou indicated that he had sharpened his vegetable knife every day and it was very sharp.
As soon as he opened the gift bag, its contents were revealed.
“It’s not a trap? And the reward is so luxurious?” Yuan Zhou was a little shocked when he saw the reward.
