as written on paper.
A small single table with two seats was
facing the entrance.
Besides that, along the long curved table circling the open kitchen, a total
of 8 high chairs were placed.
From this point of view, the restaurant was sparkling clean; even the wall cabinet in the kitchen
was free from any stains.
They walked up to the two vacant seats and reached out to touch the
table top.
It didn’t feel greasy at all.
Division Chief Lin was quite satisfied with the clean tables and chairs and the absence of smoke
and oil in the air despite it being an open kitchen.
At least the sanitary conditions were
satisfactory.
“Hi, what would you like to eat, sirs?” Yuan Zhou didn’t recognize that they were the staffs who
dealt with his tax declaration, thus merely asked his usual question.

“Boss, this price is …?” Vice Division Chief Lee really felt that his previous years were all lived in

vain.
A mere Egg Fried Rice costing 188 RMB was still affordable.
But what the heck was with
the Herbal Tea Eggs? It was an astonishing 888 RMB even with a special offer.
“Which one do you mean?” Every new guest coming for the first time would ask about the
prices, thus Yuan Zhou would basically answer them all.
“Let’s not mention the other dishes first.
Just the Herbal Tea Eggs deserve an explanation.” Vice
Division Chief Lee was especially curious about this very expensive dish.
“You’ll know why after you order and taste it.” This was exactly how Yuan Zhou answered.
The Bureau of Commodity Price regulated that prices should be marked clearly, without any
intentional deception and should not affect the average market price.
Under this regulation,
Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was too small to affect the market price.
As for intentional deception,
the prices were all clearly marked at a conspicuous place on the wall behind thus they couldn’t
even pretend to miss it.
It really was a scam that everybody willingly went for.
He recalled the memory of a song: “Deceit shall be open and straightforward.
Don’t put on an
act until the day long.”
“Lee, let’s follow the boss’s advice and order some to taste,” Division Chief Lin instructed
directly.
“Please offer us the Egg Fried Rice Set and Clear Broth Noodle Soup Set, one serving for each.”
Since he knew Division Chief Lin liked eating noodles, Vice Division Chief Lee made the decision
to order the set meal of the noodles.
“All right.
Altogether, it is 588 RMB.” Yuan Zhou directly told them the total price.
Vice Division Chief Lee paid the bill without hesitation.
“Young brother, are the dishes here so delicious?” With great interest, Division Chief Lin started
talking to a customer beside him.
The customer was a silent and shy young boy wearing a pair of glasses.
He was startled at first
by the abrupt question but after calming down, he said, “Very nice.
The culinary skills of Boss
Yuan are truly top-notch but I just come here occasionally because the price is way too high.”

While saying that, he touched his head with a shy expression on his face.
“It’s indeed quite expensive.
Such a small restaurant, yet surprisingly, it sells such expensive
dishes.” Division Chief Lin nodded his head in agreement.
“In my opinion, this is too deceitful.” Vice Division Chief Lee touched his bald hairstyle and
grumbled in low voice.
“No, I don’t think so.
Though they are expensive, the dishes well deserve the price.
There is
nowhere else that you can enjoy such delicacies,” the shy boy refuted Vice Division Chief Lee
immediately.
“Yeah, it’s indeed a good deal for such magnificent dishes.
The only problem is that Boss Yuan
is too lazy.
The restaurant is open for not more than 6 hours every day.” another customer
beside them interrupted their conversation, speaking the last sentence in very low voice.

Just as Division Chief Lin was about to say something, he was interrupted by the dishes being
served to them.
“The set meals that both of you ordered.” Yuan Zhou carried the dishes out one after another.
Looking at the set meals, Vice Division Chief Lee felt a complicated feeling welling up inside
him.
Division Chief Lin also had the same feeling.
What did these two unpeeled cloves of garlic
mean? They had never seen a restaurant acting so rudely to its customers.
At this time, Yuan Zhou kindly reminded, “The garlic is not spicy nor will it give you dragon
breath after eating it.”
Even though Yuan Zhou already said that, Division Chief Lin still found it hard to swallow them.
Of course the garlic wouldn’t go to waste here.
He had already noticed all plates that the
customers used shone like they had been washed.
They shone clean and bright as if the
customers had licked every inch of the plates.
While Division Chief Lin was still hesitating whether or not to eat the garlic, another customer
took a seat beside him and asked directly.
“Young master, are the new dishes Watermelon Juice and Herbal Tea Eggs?” said an aged but
vigorous voice.
