Extra Chapter 9: Yu Yu and Su Hui’s Story
After doing his homework, Yu Yu went to the northeast in October.
Because Nan Ge could not explain it to Su Hui, she did not tell him the exact address. However, this was not a problem for Yu Yu. He asked his friend to find all the restaurants that met the requirements.
Chain restaurants which were extremely popular, available in all three eastern provinces, and were famous locally for their specialties.
There were only two restaurants that met all the above conditions.
After that, it was even simpler. He could casually ask the locals who owned these two companies. Yu Yu had an eloquent mouth and quickly got along with the local uncles and aunties. He got the intel he wanted in a few words. “Are you sure the Su family owns this place?”
“Of course. Their family has been running the place for decades. They’ve been running it for three generations. I heard that their youngest daughter has come back to take over.’
“Thank you.” Yu Yu thanked him and asked, “Are they usually in the main shop?”
“That’s right. The boss is usually at the main shop. If you’re lucky, you might even be able to eat his old man’s dishes.”
After Grandpa Su retired, he rarely went into the kitchen. He only occasionally showed off his skills to some familiar old customers.
“So Old Master Su is still a chef?”
“Yes, yes, yes. Back then, the boss’ father was also very famous. The old man used to cook for state banquets, but he felt that it was too far from home, so he came back and opened a restaurant. I didn’t expect his business to grow bigger and bigger. He even became the richest man here.”
“Really?” Yu Yu continued to play the supporting role.
“That’s right. There’s a queue outside the local restaurant everyday, including every branch. Do you see the road here? The road under your feet was also paid for by his family back then. They own a few houses in the city center. His daughter seems to have just graduated from university. If anyone can marry her, they won’t have to worry about the rest of their lives.”
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the auntie beside him snorted. “How could he bear to marry off his only daughter? He’s probably going to find a live-in son-in-law in the future.” The old man nodded. “That makes sense.”
A live-in son-in-law?
Yu Yu thought about it and reckoned that his family would not agree to this.
He was also an only child.
If he became a live-in son-in-law, his grandfather would probably be so angry that he would throw away his walking stick and chase after him for three streets.
However, this was all in the future. He did not have a chance to become a live-in son-in-law now.
“Hey, Grandpa, have you seen his daughter?”
“I’ve seen her before. She’s quite beautiful and treats people well. She even gave us a few plates of food when we went to eat previously.”
“How are her parents?”
“They’re all very easy-going. However, their daughter listens to them very much. The family of three is very happy.”
Hearing this, Yu Yu raised his eyebrows excitedly. He suddenly felt that if he could deal with Su Hui’s parents, Su Hui would be more amenable to dating him.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, in the main restaurant of the Su family’s restaurant.
Yu Yu felt that it was already very early for him to come over at this time. If he wanted to queue for dinner, he probably did not have to queue for long.
However, he did not expect that when he arrived at the scene, it was even more exaggerated than what the uncles and aunties had said.
It was only four o’clock, but the queue had already turned a corner…
It was the holidays, so the first choice for tourists who came here was the Su family’s restaurant. Yu Yu had forgotten about this.
If he continued to line up, he probably wouldn’t be able to see Su Hui. Yu Yu thought for a moment and walked straight to the front of the line. He picked a university student who looked easy to talk to. “Brother, let’s discuss something.”
“What do you want?” The boy at the front of the line looked at him warily.
The other party’s eyes were clear and stupid. Yu Yu knew that he had found the right person.
“My flight is tonight. It’s too late to queue now, so I want to change places with you.”
“Sure, where are you?” The boy thought that he wouldn’t be too far away until Yu Yu pointed behind him. “It’s just around the corner. I’m in that corner.”
There was a long line. At first, it was straight. Later on, because it could not block other shops, people could only line up and turn accordingly.
The boy gave him a look that said, Are you kidding me? “I’m not trading spots with you. ”
“1,000. That means you get to eat for free tonight.”
The Su family’s restaurant was not considered a high-end restaurant. It mainly sold affordable dishes. 1000 was more than enough for a party of two, let alone one.
The boy found it strange. “Don’t you think it’s a loss? 1000 dollars just to eat the dishes here in advance? Although I heard that this place is not bad, are you overreacting?
“Could it be a scam?”
Yu Yu’s forehead twitched. “If I was scamming, why would I pick you? You’re just a student. What money do you have?”
“Good point,” the guy agreed. “So what are you doing?”
“I like the food here very much. I came because of its reputation. I have to eat it.”
The guy said, “I don’t believe you.”
Yu Yu smiled and extended a hand. “5000.”
The boy quickly took out his phone. “Cash or online bank transfer?”
Yu Yu used this matter to prove that no problem could not be solved by money. If that were the case, it was probably because money was not offered or insufficient.
After the restaurant opened for business at night, Yu Yu blended in with the first batch of customers and successfully entered the restaurant.
He looked at the menu after taking a seat. He did not know what to eat, so he simply ordered all the signature dishes.
The waiter said, “One dish is enough for you. Our servings are generous. You won’t be able to finish a plate.”
“It’s fine. If I can’t finish them, I can take them away.”
Yu Yu ordered ten dishes alone. The waiter looked at him as if he was a fool.
Before the dishes were served, Yu Yu got up and walked around the restaurant to check out the main outlet.
The unit was not big. It was said to be the first outlet belonging to the family. At that time, Grandpa Su did not have much money, so he only bought this small place.
There was only one floor here, and there were more than ten small dining tables in the tightly packed space.
He finished looking around after taking a few steps.
As for the kitchen, he stole a glance and saw everything.
However, after looking around, he did not see Su Hui.
He deliberately approached the front desk. As expected, he overheard a regular customer chatting with a middle-aged man at the front desk. Both of them were loud, so Yu Yu could hear them clearly without getting too close.
The northeastern dialect was not that difficult to understand. It was only slightly modified from his mother tongue. Unlike the dialect in Jiang City, outsiders could not understand it at all and thought that it was a foreign language. Therefore, Yu Yu did not have trouble understanding it.
Through their conversation, Yu Yu roughly determined that the middle-aged man behind the counter was Su Hui’s father.
Yu Yu coughed lightly and took a few steps forward, pretending to be an ordinary tourist.
“Hello, Uncle. Are you the boss here?”
Mr. Su looked at him and replied, “It’s me, it’s me.”
“I came here because of your reputation. I’ve always heard that your food is delicious, so I specially flew over from the south.”
“Did you come all the way here to eat?”
“Exactly. I’m here for your dishes. I only have this one goal. Look, I just ordered all your signature dishes to try everything!”
“Thank you, thank you. However, you won’t be able to finish it if you order so much. Don’t eat too much.”
Mr. Su was tall, strong, and had a beer belly. He looked very rough, but when they interacted, it was the complete opposite of his appearance. Just as the uncles and aunties had said, he was very easy-going and friendly.
Throughout the entire conversation, his words and humor did not make people uncomfortable. He had a smile on his face. It was obvious that he was someone who was not scheming.
Soon, Yu Yu established a good relationship with Mr. Su and said that he would come here for dinner the rest of the week. Mr. Su also said that he would personally cook tomorrow and let him try his cooking.
After that, Yu Yu returned to his seat to eat. Mr. Su even enthusiastically brought over a fruit plate. “I’ll cancel the rest of your dishes for you first. Come back tomorrow to eat! Eat some fruit. Do you want a drink? Or alcohol?”
“I can’t drink alone. It’s boring.” Yu Yu waved his hand. “If there’s someone accompanying me, I’m not bragging, I’ve never met a worthy opponent.”
“Oh my. You’re quite arrogant. No, I have to drink with you!”
He was indeed an easygoing person.
Yu Yu had actually found out that Mr. Su liked to drink before he came, so he deliberately mentioned it.
“Let’s not do it today. I’ll come tomorrow. You’ll cook and I’ll give you a taste of the wine I brought from our place. It tastes different from yours.”
“Alright, alright, it’s settled then!” Mr. Su’s face was visibly excited.
It looked like he was looking forward to tomorrow even more than Yu Yu.
Later, Yu Yu found out that Mrs. Su had been very strict recently and did not allow Mr. Su to drink. It was rare for Mr.. Su to find an opportunity, so how could he not be happy?
