Chapter 36 Don’t Want to Leave After Finish Eating, Want to Wait Even If They Had to Pull an All-nighter!

Peng Chun scooped up a piece of meat and chewed it in disdain.

In an instant, the unique freshness, saltiness, and aroma of the roasted pork exploded in his mouth. Through the connected seven orifices, the flavor soaked his entire head. It was as if only the delicious roasted pork remained in the entire world. With a ‘guh’, Peng Chun started crying, “How can it be so delicious?! How can it be so delicious?!”

As he cried and exclaimed in admiration, he transformed into a ruthless food processor while using both his hands and his mouth.

Hua Qing turned her face away in disgust when she saw him cry with snot flowing, “Cry slowly. Won’t you find it salty if your tears and snot drip into the bowl?”

Peng Chun couldn’t care less. He was like a homeless man who had been starving for several days. He wanted nothing more than to just eat the casserole too. In less than two minutes, he had eaten all of the roasted pork rice.

The two wiped their mouths, wanting more, “It’s so delicious! I’ve never eaten such delicious rice!”

Their reactions were recorded by Hua Qing’s camera. The group members and netizens who were waiting in front of the screen became even more curious about the taste of the Beside-yourself Rice.

“This… Peng Chun must be here to be a joke. He was the one who scolded the restaurant most, but he’s also the one who cried the most!”

“The instant noodles in my hand suddenly don’t smell as good. I’m probably hallucinating. Why does the sauerkraut have a different smell?”

“In three minutes, I want the location of the restaurant that sells this roasted pork rice!”

“Ahahaha, looks like Guang Mi won. I’m going to wait in the group for the red packet.”

“Is the Royal Court Banquet Restaurant back to its peak? I’ll try it tomorrow.”

Peng Chun could roughly imagine the reactions of the netizens in the live broadcast room, but he didn’t care. He felt that it was worth it to lose the bet for such a bowl of roasted pork rice.

He looked at Guang Ni and it was clear from his expression that he had not eaten enough. Hua Qing, who had eaten her portion long ago, could watch as they ate theirs. She was so envious that her saliva almost flowed into a river.

The three who had been all set for a showdown suddenly reached a tacit understanding as they sat back down at the same time, not planning to move.

Zhan Long collected their bowls and looked at the three of them in confusion, “I’m sorry, but the restaurant is closing soon. If you’d still like another bowl, please come early tomorrow.”

Peng Chun had swallowed his arrogance along with the roasted pork rice into his stomach. He became extremely polite, “Uncle, your chef must have some leftovers when he was cooking just now. Why don’t you sell them to us? Otherwise, they will become overnight dishes tomorrow.”

Guang Ni chimed in, “That’s right, uncle. Why don’t you sell the leftovers to us? We’re willing to give you any amount of money.”

Their words sounded very reasonable, but Zhan Long was unmoved, “I’m sorry, but each person in this restaurant is limited to one serving per day. Nothing can be accomplished without rule, so I hope the three of you can understand.”

Hearing this, Peng Chun and Guang Ni looked at each other and smiled. They were not surprised by this answer and had already thought of a countermeasure.

“In that case, we’ll wait here,” Guang Ni shook his phone. It was now 9:20 pm. “There are still two hours and forty minutes until tomorrow. We can wait!”

High-end restaurants had very high requirements for customer service. Chasing away customers was a big taboo. Peng Chun once again took the lead to take advantage of the loophole in the rules. They were not afraid of waiting for another two hours. When the next morning came, the restaurant would still have to give them another serving!

Zhan Long was stunned for a moment. This was the first time that he had seen a customer being so polite while acting so shamelessly. For a moment, he was at a loss for a response. He turned to Xu Yuan for the latter to make a decision.

At the same time, Xu Yuan held a pen in his hand, and a row of words appeared on the menu, “This restaurant refuses to work overtime.”

Seeing that the four were looking at him, Xu Yuan shrugged and said, “I’m sorry. The new rule is such that the restaurant does not allow overtime. Please return.”

Guang Ni was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head with a bitter smile. He had a plan, but the boss of the restaurant had a better plan. He admitted his defeat.

Following this, he stood up and smiled, “If that’s the case, then we’ll come back tomorrow.”

“You win!” Peng Chun cursed in a low voice, unwilling to give up. He and Hua Qing followed behind Guang Ni and left together.

Xu Yuan let out a breath, “Finally, they’re gone. Uncle Zhan and Uncle Wei, pack up and get off work. I’m so tired today.”

The Royal Court Banquet Restaurant that had been lively for the whole day finally had its lights turned off and doors closed. Xu Yuan stood at the door and hammered his stiff waist, “It’s so tiring to be a chef, but fortunately, customers did come. I think we can start preparing the second dish.”

Zhan Long’s ears twitched, and he teleported to Xu Yuan’s side, “Young master, what materials do you need? I’ll go prepare it right away!”

“It’s not anything rare. Tomorrow, just go to the market and buy five kilograms of fresh ox meat,” He yawned loudly.

Xu Yuan didn’t want to talk about the new dish now. He only wanted to go back and have a good sleep. He gave a few simple instructions to Wei Heji, then brought Zhan Long back to the rental house.

The Royal Court Banquet Restaurant was beginning to serve customers again. That night, Zhan Long had a sweet dream. On the other side, after Guang Ni and Peng Chun returned home, both of them posted a 500-word taste-test essay in the group chat.

“It’s really too delicious! Even my dreams are soaked with the taste of the Beside-yourself Rice! Guang Ni, you have good taste. How about we go and have it together tomorrow?” Peng Chun sent a message.

“No problem! If the Royal Court Banquet Restaurant didn’t have that stupid rule, I would’ve even moved there. I could lay there and eat for three days and three nights!”

“Great minds think alike! Let’s go!”

“@Zui Chunfeng, don’t be so anxious and send the red packet first.”

“It’s just a red packet! I’ll send it soon. Remember to go to the Royal Court Banquet Restaurant to try the Beside-yourself Rice! The chef doesn’t work overtime anymore, so go early or there won’t be any left. The price may be 388 yuan for a portion, but it’s definitely worth it!”

Peng Chun willingly sent a 388 yuan red packet into the group chat. At the same time, he also helped Xu Yuan advertise for free. With that, the many streamers in the group who had quite some fans all wanted to give it a try.

What made them even more surprised was that the two who had been quarreling in the group chat during the day suddenly became long-lost confidants after the meal.

The group members were shocked to see the two continuously praising the roasted pork rice. The praise they gave was very exaggerated and they even posted screenshots of the video they had taken when having the meal. Each of the screenshots could be used as the cover of a food-eating video. They were definitely very attractive!

“Is it really that delicious? Three people went and all fell for it. There’s no need for an advertisement to reach this level, right?”

“I don’t think it’s an advertisement. It should be really delicious. I almost couldn’t hold myself back when I watched the live broadcast.”

“388 yuan per serving of roasted pork rice, and everyone can only order one serving. Who would be so stupid to use these as an advertisement? Without real strength, the restaurant would be dead immediately with such strange rules. The taste would definitely not be bad!”

“Then who is going to the Royal Court Banquet Restaurant tomorrow? Let’s go together!”

“Me!”

“Count me in!”

“Me, me, me!”

“Everyone can only order one serving, then is takeout available? Can one of you help me bring a serving? I will pay for the delivery!”

The red packet made more than half of the people in the group appear. Some even made plans to go for the roasted pork rice together the next day. The Royal Court Banquet Restaurant immediately became the hottest topic regarding food.
