Chapter 970: 970
“I have a pen here,” said Wang Hong . He would always have a pen and notebook on him .
He tore a page off the notebook and passed it together with the pen to Wu Zhou . Next, Wu Zhou started noting down all the suggested names .
Mr . Wei even asked Wu Zhou which generation of the Wu Clan his child would be . After all, when naming, one had to follow the hierarchical system of the clan .
However, this was a difficult question for Wu Zhou as he did not even know his own generation within the clan, let alone his child .
“Wu Zhou, remember to tell me so I can visit after the baby is born . I will paint a painting as a gift for the baby . ”
While everyone was busy talking, a familiar voice rang out from outside .
That’s right . Wu Hai who had fled speedily earlier had returned for an unknown reason .
And after leaving behind those words, he rushed away again .
If Zhou Xi saw this scene, he would probably get married immediately and start making babies . After all, he would be able to get a custom painting from Wu Hai with a baby .
Back to the topic, Wu Zhou was writing on the paper at a tremendous speed . As for Wang Hong, he took out another pen and started writing as well .
“I think I can use this name to write a story,” Wang Hong suddenly said .
“Everyone has a limited amount of energy, and only by focusing on a single story at a time will one be able to write a good story,” said a customer . “These were the words of a customer who is also a novelist . He is a genuine novelist, by the way . ”
In fact, two novelists had visited Yuan Zhou’s restaurant before, Wang Hong excluded .
And from this baby-naming incident, something interesting was exposed . It turned out that the pretty girl, Wei Wei, was actually extremely bad at naming .
She named the boy Wu Kuai and the girl Wu Yuan . She was basically going to be blacklisted from ever naming anyone . [1 . Basically, Wu Kuai = five bucks and Wu Yuan = Five RMB]
Today, the restaurant was much livelier than usual . Wu Zhou and Zhuang Xinmu came today because like the couple that took their wedding picture here, they wanted to share this good news with everyone in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .
They had never expected the customers to be so excited about their baby .
Both the people they knew or strangers, and both people that were close or not too close, everyone was seriously giving them name suggestions .
That was a rather magical feeling . It was like gifting some candies away only to receive an entire car of candies in return instead .
Toward the end, the paper was completely filled with names .
“Thank you, everyone, for the suggestions . We will go over them and carefully think about it,” Wu Zhou thanked the others repeatedly .
Wu Zhou scanned the room, paused slightly before speaking again, “However, since we already finished our meal, we won’t be taking up Boss Yuan’s seats . ”
That was understandable . The dinner crowd waiting outside was quite huge .
When mentioning Yuan Zhou, Zhuang Xinmu’s eyes lit up . She turned and directly asked, “Boss Yuan, do you have any good names to suggest?”
At that question, the customers were all hit with a realization that Yuan Zhou had been staying silent .
Yuan Zhou leisurely placed a plate of Yuxiang Shredded Pork on the table before answering, “I am not experienced in naming . ”
“It doesn’t matter . We are simply gathering more opinions for us to work with,” said Wu Zhou .
Yuan Zhou nodded, “Then I’ll think of something random . If the baby is a boy, and you hope that he would be very successful in the future, you can name him Wu Jietao, Wu Bobin, or Wu Shengyun . ”
“If you hope the baby has an upstanding character in the future, you can choose Wu Guanlin, Wu Yao, Wu Junhao, Wu Yu, or Wu Jianbai . ”
“If you hope the baby will have a safe and happy life, Wu Xing, Wu Yongyi, Wu Leyu are all decent options . ”
No faults could be picked . Yuan Zhou blurted out over 20 names in a single breath . Next, the restaurant sank into silence .
All the customers stared at Yuan Zhou with their eyes wide in shock . As for Wu Zhou, his eyes were even wider . In his mind, he started wondering if Yuan Zhou’s ex profession was a fortune teller specializing in naming children .
“Brother Zhou, did you get them all?” Zhuang Xinmu broke the silence .
Wu Zhou was startled awake from his daze and promptly spoke, “Boss Yuan, you spoke too fast . Can you please repeat?”
Yuan Zhou repeated, still at a rapid speed . Wu Zhou was only able to note them all down with great difficulty .
As an elite namer, Yuan Zhou was rather talented in terms of naming . Just look at Broth’s name . It was such a nice name .
The character Mian could also be understood as face, symbolizing the head . Whereas the character Tang could be understood as soup, similar to a pool, symbolizing a moat . And in combination, the two had a meaning that Broth was the head protector of Master Chef Restaurant . [1 . Mian Tang = Broth, while the character mian can be both face and noodles]
The more Yuan Zhou thought about it, the more satisfied he was at the name . He was confident Broth as also as satisfied with the name as well .
After writing down the names, the couple who enjoyed displaying their affection publicly took their leave . Next, Wu Zhou focused all his attention on Zhuang Xinmu as he carefully escorted her away .
Many people did not notice that the dishes on Yuan Zhou’s menu had increased . After all, he now had the full collection of Sichuan Cuisine including the snacks . Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou kept his mouth shut and did not say anything .
“System, Sichuan Cuisine alone has already filled the entirety of the menu . It’s about time we update the menu,” said Yuan Zhou .
The system remained silent . Yuan Zhou continued, “I know it is very hard for you to think flexibly . Therefore, I already have a solution for this . ”
“Many restaurants have electronic menus, right? System, you only need to provide me several tablets . We can then save the menu in the tablets . ”
Then, Yuan Zhou waited . But even after half an hour when dinner time ended, the system still remained silent .
Since there was a light rain today, the pub was not opened tonight . It was time for BBQ .
Obtaining a complete Sichuan Cuisine had also affected Yuan Zhou’s BBQ .
For example, the BBQ menu had expanded with dishes such as chicken wings, duck neck, taro, and so on .
Grandpa Jia could not afford Yuan Zhou’s BBQ . Even with Ling Hong offering to treat him, he still insisted to leave .
In any case, the BBQ would end too late and would affect his rickshaw business the next day . Moreover, Grandpa Jia did not enjoy having Ling Hong treating him .
Fortunately, Grandpa Jia was now a person with an extra source of income . Perhaps the modern city dwellers were too lonely, or perhaps they had unique interests nowadays, but Grandpa Jia’s rickshaw live streaming was doing quite well .
Each month, he would make an additional income of about 3,000 RMB from his stream . Thus, he started treating Ling Hong to meals instead, recently .
“There are BBQ chicken wings now? That’s my favorite food . Boss Yuan, BBQ chicken wing for me, please,” said Wang Hong .
As usual, for BBQ, the ingredients each customer got would be random . Wang Hong was staring at Yuan Zhou’s hands longingly .
Chen Wei left after dinner as he was in a rush . As for Sister Wan, she would not eat after nine as she needed to take care of her figure .
As for the other customers, they came and left quickly .
Tonight, Wu Hai did not come down . He had probably fallen asleep . Even his windows were shut . Otherwise, he would definitely be here for something like a BBQ .
Wang Hong longed for chicken wings, yet reality would always disappoint . He was served with a set containing pork, beef, ham, and some vegetables .
In fact, no matter how one looked at it, this was quite a decent menu . Many of them weren’t even served meat .
Alas, the chicken wing Wang Hong longed for was not there . On the other hand, Mr . Wei’s set had the chicken wing included, but he only got a single wing with the rest of his set being vegetables .
Wang Hong’s eyeballs shifted around as he started scheming…
