being a frog in the well.
i Even though Hou Zi lived up to his name as a skinny monkey, he was known as a glutton within foodies and had eaten at many nameless little shops.
Before he came, Sun Ming had said that this store was run by his friend, and hadn’t even been in business for two days.
[T/N: Hou Zi means ‘monkey’.]

The other nameless shops were either set up at one’s home where it wasn’t convenient to hang up a signboard, or had lost their signboards.
He had yet to go to a shop like this that was clearly a proper store that had recently opened but didn’t hang up a signboard.

“Stop asking so many questions, just come and eat.” Sun Ming followed their gazes.
With one glance, he too discovered that Yuan Zhou didn’t even hang up a signboard, but it wasn’t good for him to admit now that he himself had not been aware either.
He brushed it off, leading the two inside the store.

On the way in, he saw Ah Li’s listless appearance, and inquired about it.
When Sun Ming heard he was sick, he devoutly declared, “Relax, you don’t have any appetite today, but when you smell that aroma, you’ll regain it.”

“Oh? Is it that amazing?” Ah Li’s originally unwell appearance now looked a little lively.

*Pat Pat*

Sun Ming patted his own chest and said, “Relax.”

“Gentlemen, please wait a moment.
The egg fried rice will be done soon.” Yuan Zhou took the time while frying rice to turn around and say to the just seated three guests.

The verdurous Hou Zi was the first to reply, “You do your thing, no worries.
We’ll look around first.”

After speaking, he turned his head to examine the place.
The store’s furnishings weren’t really strange; a small area and few chairs.
The menu however, was strange.
There was no way a restaurant that specialized in a type of food would only sell that particular food.

After all, if there was a demand, then there was a market for it.
Small shops needed to comply to their customers’ requests to do business.
He asked directly, “Do you really only sell egg fried rice?”

Having already completed the three servings of egg fried rice heading out, Yuan Zhou said, “That is how it is at present.”

“Oh? At present, then how long will it be until you sell other things?” Hou Zi assumed this was just another kind of marketing strategy.
Firstly by coming out with this antic of selling egg fried rice, then bringing out an already prepared menu after attracting popularity.
This was a very common occurrence .

Only that his usually always-accurate conjecture was wrong this time.
He only heard Yuan Zhou say, “In one week, I will be adding a egg fried rice set meal.
What comes after, I’ll figure it out later, depending on my mood.”

“Eh…” This phrase ‘depends on my mood’ made Hou Zi a little speechless; however, seeing Yuan Zhou’s antisocial appearance, he wisely decided not to ask.

“Quickly come over and eat.
If you’re not going to come, I’m really going to eat your share.” Seeing the egg fried rice already being brought over, Sun Ming hastily said.
When he spoke of eating Hou Zi’s share, his expression was serious.

“Alright, I’m coming.”

“Please enjoy.” Yuan Zhou held out his hand in an inviting gesture, displaying the proper mannerisms of a chef.

“Where’s the soup?” This time, the one speaking was Ah Li.

He asked after seeing that Yuan Zhou only brought over egg fried rice and nothing else.

“My apologies.
We do not provide soup accompaniment here, and naturally there are no side dishes either.” Although Yuan Zhou knew that these people were the friends of his own friend, the system was the most important

This had long been stipulated by the system.
Godly Chef’s Little Shop will not provide any food that did not come out from this system, and Yuan Zhou had no way to cook in Godly Chef’s Little Shop with ingredients that weren’t provided by the system.
The reason for all of this was simply because his level was too low!

“Alright.” Ah Li glanced at Sun Ming before looking back at Yuan Zhou, feeling a little helpless.

“Ah Li, Hou Zi, have a look at the egg fried rice in front of you.
Although they don’t provide accompaniments, its value is absolutely worth more than its price.
Sun Ming wanted to gorge himself at the moment it was carried over, but these people were brought by himself so he still had to give them an explanation.

“Okay, but this shop of your brother is plenty strange.
Who knows if this egg fried rice can measure up to this peculiarity.” Seeing his friend Ah Li’s request for a bowl of soup be rejected as well, Hou Zi suddenly felt a bit dissatisfied.

The menu at that side clearly stated that one serving of egg fried rice was ¥188, and each time this kind of recommendation sample was AA in quality.
This made Hou Zi suspect Sun Ming was drawing customers for his own brother.
This kind of matter had also happened once before
