"I never expected to find such cheap and delicious stewed chicken with rice in a tourist area."

"The taste is really amazing, it's just too good."

"No, no, we're not going anywhere else tonight, we must have dinner here before we leave."

The customers in Wang Fan's restaurant were thoroughly enjoying their meals, and many had already decided to come back for dinner.

Meanwhile, the diners outside were starving, occasionally peeking inside to see if there were any available seats.

They were considering taking it to go, but the boss said it wouldn't taste as good as eating it fresh. How could they resist that?

You have to eat the best, so I'll wait!

Officer Zhong and Xue Ning both had two servings. They ate everything they could from the pot, leaving it so clean a dog would shake its head.

Not just them, almost every diner did the same.

Even the last bit of soup in the pot was soaked up with some rice, and then the mouthful was devoured.

Wang Fan's wok didn't stop until he ran out of the 200 pounds of chicken and other ingredients he had prepared in advance.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Wang Fan sighed and apologetically told the customers in line, "I'm so sorry, we've sold out of braised chicken for lunch."

Chen Shuo, speechless and a bit helpless, said, "Boss, can't you be a bit more sincere when you apologize? You can't hide that smile on your face!"

Wang Fan denied, "How could that be? I can't even make money, how can I be happy?"

Chen Shuo pointed at Wang Fan's mouth corner, "Dude, your smile is harder to suppress than a Gatling gun!"

Wang Fan laughed heartily, "Sorry, sorry, I just thought of something happy. We're really out of ingredients now, I can't help it."

Chen Shuo reluctantly asked, "So what time do you open tonight?"

Wang Fan replied, "From 5 to 8 p.m., but I won't be making stewed chicken tonight."

Chen Shuo was shocked, "Why? I haven't even tried it yet, how can you just stop making it?"

Wang Fan smiled faintly, "Because I want to eat Linyi fried chicken tonight."

Wang Fan felt even more that being both a chef and a shop owner suited him perfectly.

He could make whatever he wanted to eat, as long as it tasted good, he wasn't worried about not accomplishing tasks.

"Linyi fried chicken?"

Wang Fan's voice wasn't soft, many customers inside and outside the restaurant could hear it.

"Boss, are you really that capricious? You make such delicious stewed chicken and just decide to change it up?"

"Exactly, I was planning to come back for another serving tonight, and now you're switching to this Linyi fried chicken. I don't even know if I still want to come back."

Wang Fan said, "Eating the same thing all the time is boring, right? I'll be open here for five days, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., each meal a different chicken dish. You're all welcome to try them then."

Hearing Wang Fan's words, the entire group of customers was shocked by his capriciousness.

Anyone who opens a restaurant with a signature dish waiting to be raked in money can be said to have achieved success.

From today's response in the restaurant, this braised chicken with rice could absolutely be the signature dish.

But this boss actually decided to change it up? And every meal, too?

He must be confident—no, he must be outrageous and capricious to play like this.

Genius!

Chen Shuo gave Wang Fan a thumbs up, "Boss, you have personality, but I like it. I'll be here early for your Linyi fried chicken tonight, but if I don't find it delicious, could you make me a braised chicken with rice?"

Wang Fan smiled, "No problem. If anyone finds it not delicious, they can ask me to switch to braised chicken."

As he said this, Wang Fan was full of confidence.

This confidence came from both the system recipes and his own cooking skills.

He didn't know where his level stood in the culinary world, but he knew every dish he made was surely delicious.

Chen Shuo negotiated, "Boss, can I bring some food from outside to eat in your restaurant?"

Wang Fan was taken aback, "Do you want to enjoy the scenery?"

The scenery in his restaurant was indeed quite pleasant, especially the water view that was pleasing to the eye.

Chen Shuo, a bit embarrassed, said, "No, I just find that eating with the aroma from your restaurant is more delicious..."

...

Shen Yu was messaging in the group, "Does anyone know where Boss Wang has gone? It's almost May Day, planning a trip, and following Boss Wang can't go wrong."

"No idea. Boss Wang hasn't said anything in the group. He hasn't been active here for a long time."

"Does anyone know where Boss Wang is? Not experiencing all of Boss Wang's food would be a regret in my life."

"Oh, the tragedy! Since eating Boss Wang's steamed buns, I've stopped eating buns. After tasting his braised pork, I stopped eating braised pork. Now, even his barbecue has made me quit barbecue. I'm afraid that if I keep eating, nothing else will taste good except Boss Wang's food. At this rate, will I develop selective anorexia?"

"That selective anorexia remark could kill me with laughter!"

"Going off-topic, everyone, let's analyze the possible places Boss Wang might go."

"Exactly, this is the main issue. I have a few days of vacation left before they refresh. It would be such a waste not to take it."

"Beijing, Lu Dong... only two stops so far, not enough to analyze."

"Sigh..."

"Sigh..."

"Brothers and sisters, after a series of information compilations and based on my understanding of the boss, I've summed up the following pattern."

"1. The boss usually operates from Monday to Friday, occasionally on Saturday."

"2. Except for marinated meat, which started a day early, other shops open on Monday."

"3. He left Lu Dong on Friday, and today is Monday, comrades!"

"4. Conclusion, the boss must have already opened someplace unknown to us! The reason he hasn't mentioned it in the group is purely because—lazy!"

"With his capabilities, wherever he opens shop, customers will surely flock, and our involvement would only increase his workload. Also, from my observations, the boss is a bit socially anxious. Seeing familiar faces might make him uncomfortable, I highly suspect he's intentionally keeping his whereabouts a secret!"

Zhuo Qianqian shared her analysis in the "Honor of Kings" group.

Then suddenly @Wang Fan: "@Boss Wang, am I right? Have you already started operating?"

Wang Fan had just tidied up the restaurant when he saw that message, and he felt a bit tense.

This seemingly silly Zhuo Qianqian suddenly seemed so astute?

Even though everything she said was true, could he admit it?

No!

"No, I've been a bit tired lately and plan to take a break."

"Hahaha, see you tomorrow, boss!"

???

Wang Fan was dumbfounded by Zhuo Qianqian's message.

What do you mean, see you tomorrow?

What are you even talking about?
