Chapter 107: Private Restaurant (5)

"Why you're so loud!?"

Xu Qing held a kitchen knife and scolded the people with a cold face.

"When the foreigner provoked you just now, all of you shrank. In the end, you relied on this young man to find face?"

Lee Minho stood beside Han Seungwoo, looking at Xu Qing until none of those people could raise their heads.

Nor did they refute.

Because what Xu Qing said was the truth, none of them dared to play chess with Bruce just now, which made the other so arrogant.

It's not that they don't dare, but they all know how much they have, if they go up to compete with Bruce, they will only lose.

The people present, except for Lee Minho and the other two, were all people who were in their thirties.

It is too shameful to rely on a young man in his twenties to save face for them now.

So, they lowered their heads one by one, with dejected expressions on their faces.

After Xu Qing finished training those people, he walked up to Lee Minho.

First, he glanced at Han Seungwoo who was behind Lee Minho, and then turned back to Lee Minho showing a smile.

"Thank you just now, otherwise, we, a group of old men, would not only embarrass ourselves, but also embarrass our country."

Seeing Xu Qingy reprimanding others just now, Lee Minho thought she was a serious person.

Unexpectedly, he actually smiled at himself with such a friendly attitude.

"You're welcome, I should, after all, I'm also from Colorado. And it's not their fault, it's that Bruce."

Lee Minho just can't stand Bruce arrogance and shameless.

A professional chess player actually threatened a group of amateur chess players to play chess.

Unexpectedly, there are such shameless players in the professional chess world.

Xu Qing meaningfully glanced at Han Seungwoo behind Lee Minho again.

"Thank you, after all, you were the first person he brought to the door."

After speaking, Xu Qing turned around and went back to the kitchen.

Lee Minho turned around to look at Han Seungwoo with some doubts.

Yu Shiyuan came and patted Han Seungwoo's shoulder, and said to Lee Minho.

"You two sit down first, the dishes should be almost ready. Today's meal is by the house."

After finishing speaking, Yu Shiyuan also walked into the kitchen.

The surrounding guests immediately surrounded him.

"I'll treat you to this meal."

"Go away, I have ordered this meal."

"Young man, which dojo do you belong to? You are also very good at chess."

"Looking at your appearance, you are still a student, right? Why don't you go to set a paragraph?"

"Lee Minho, right? Can you play a game with me?"

"Go away, I'm here for dinner. Don't delay him."

"Little guy, why don't you add me as a friend, how about we have an appointment when you have time?"

These people were extremely curious about Lee Minho and were very enthusiastic.

Although Lee Minho is 23 years old, he looks small. He is thin in a healthy way, and wearing white casual clothes today, so he looks like he is eighteen or nineteen years old.

What's more is his appearance. Lee Minho is really cutesy handsome and has white skin which stands out among the crowd.

Lee Minho was helpless, he came here just to have a meal. Not here to play chess.

If he really played chess with them here, he basically wouldn't able to eat today.

Therefore, Lee Minho had no choice but to reject them.

However, these people were very enthusiastic.

Although Lee Minho rejected them. They still insisting on adding Lee Minho's as a friend on social media.

Among them was the young man in his thirties with a relatively hot temper.

"My name is Jiang Xinping, a native of Kyoto. In this capital, I have some skills. If you call me brother Ping and have some time, I will teach you some of my skills."

Jiang Xinping has a carefree personality, but he is very loyal.

Just now Lee Minho taught Bruce a lesson, it really made him very happy!

In addition, he has always liked people who are very good at chess, so Jiang Xinping insists on making friends with Lee Minho.

And very honestly, he asked the waiter to put the order of Lee Minho's table in his name.

Just holding the dish, Yu Shiyuan who came out heard Jiang Xinping's words that the account should be recorded in his name.

Yu Shiyuan immediately glared at him and said.

"You kid, are you planning to compete with me for a treat?"

Jiang Xinping immediately said.

"Brother Shiyuan, how dare I. I just want to make friends with this little brother."

Yu Shiyuan directly raised his foot and kicked him lightly

"Go, go. Move aside."

"Ugh.. fine".

Jiang Xinping immediately ran back to his desk.

Seeing Jiang Xinping's dejected and grumbling look, Yu Shiyuan couldn't help but shook his head.

He then put the dishes on the table of Lee Minho.

Immediately afterwards, he said.

"I'm sorry, that was my cousin just now. He has no evil intentions, but he is a bit rough headed and likes to make friends."

Lee Minho shook his head, saying it was okay in reply.

Yu Shiyuan gently pushed the dish in front of Lee Minho and said.

"Come on, try it quickly, this is the golden shredded meat made by my partner, it is our

restaurant's signature dish."

Golden Shredded Meat, this dish was ordered by Han Seungwoo.

On the surface, this dish is shredded meat, and then poured with layers of golden sauce which a sweet and sour flavor.

Lee Minho then picked forked up the meat and put them in his mouth, he found that the taste was good.

What's more, there are bean sprouts, carrots and other vegetables in the meat. It's not greasy at all and also very crisp and refreshing.

"Delicious."

Lee Minho's eyes lit up. He raised his head to directly expressing his delight.

"This dish is too delicious, it's the best dish I've ever eaten."

Yu Shiyuan laughed. He was happier when he heard someone praise his partner's cooking than winning chess.

"Eat more if it tastes good. You and Seungwoo sit down first. The rest of the dishes will be served right away."

Yu Shiyuan then patted Han Seungwoo's shoulder.

"You boy, it's rare for you to come to my place, I'll ask my Qing to cook two more special dishes for you."

After speaking, Yu Shiyuan left.

When Lee Minho saw Yu Shiyuan pat Han Seungwoo on the shoulder just now, he suspected that the two should know each other.

Hearing Yu Shiyuan tease Han Seungwoo in such a proficient tone, Lee Minho asked.

"Are the two bosses here your friends?"

"It's a chess friend."

Han Seungwoo took off his mask, and faced Lee Minho's curiosity.

He explained everything in a rare way.

"I participated in several competitions with Yu Shiyuan before, and then we got to know each other well."

He continued.

"Whenever I'm in Kyoto, I occasionally Come and eat their food."

Lee Minho nodded, that's the same as friends, how can you say they are chess friends?

It feels different.

However, it was possible that Han Seungwoo's definition of friends was different from theirs, so Lee Minho didn't bother with this issue anymore.

Suddenly, Lee Minho remembered what Xu Qing said just now.

Xu Qing said just now that he was the first person Han Seungwoo brought here.

Didn't Han Seungwoo bring others here before?

'For Han Seungwoo, am I special?'

Thinking of this, Lee Minho was inexplicably happy.

He couldn't help but picked up the serving chopsticks on the side, picked up a piece of golden meat, and put it in Han Seungwoo's bowl.

"This is delicious, try it quickly."

Han Seungwoo glanced at the golden meat in the bowl, then raised his head to look at Lee Minho who was beaming.

After hesitating for two seconds, he thanked him and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

Soon, all the dishes they ordered came out, with two more dishes that they didn't order.

After tasting all the dishes, Lee Minho realized why Xu Qing was so scary when he rushed out with a kitchen knife.

There are still so many people who come here to eat and are obediently trained.

'Really, the food here is so delicious.'

Recently, Lee Minho has eaten a lot of dishes from different restaurants with Kang Taehyun and the others.

Among them, even the food in the six-star restaurant and Autumn Winds Pavilion are not as delicious as here.

If he could eat such delicious meals every day, Lee Minho would be willing to watch the proprietress kitchen knives and be scolded every day.

After the meal, there is actually a complimentary after-dinner pastry.

The pastries are small and delicate, and the taste is much better than those outside.

After eating, playing chess, drinking tea and eating cakes at the same time, it is simply not too much enjoyment.

Before leaving, Yu Shiyuan graciously waived the bill, even though Lee Minho repeatedly expressed that he would pay the bill, he refused.

Moreover, after learning that Lee Minho likes to eat their signature dishes, he proudly packed a portion for Lee Minho, including a small pastry.

Finally, Lee Minho was given a VIP card.

They said that with this VIP card, Lee Minho doesn't need to queue up as whenever he comes to eat. Just make an appointment in advance.

Sitting in the car, Lee Minho take a look at the packed dishes and pastries on the back seat.

He then said to Han Seungwoo who was driving with some embarrassment.

"Wouldn't it be good to have so many things back?"

But Han Seungwoo took it for granted.

"It doesn't matter, you deserve it."

"Huh?"

Lee Minho didn't understand.

There was a red light ahead, and Han Seungwoo stepped on the brakes.

"At that time, if you didn't make a move, with Xu Qing's temper, he would make a move. But with Xu Qing's chess strength, it is impossible to win against that person."

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Lee Minho suddenly realized.

"That's why Yu Shiyuan was so enthusiastic. He invited us to dinner and gave us food. He even gave me a VIP card."

Han Seungwoo didn't answer, but he knew that that was only one of the reasons. But he didn't explain it to Lee Minho.

"Here."

Han Seungwoo took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Lee Minho.

Lee Minho took it curiously, and found that it was also a VIP card for Qingyuan's Private Restaurant.

The private restaurant was a combined name of Xu Qing and Yu Shiyuan. That's why it was called Qingyuan's Private Restaurant.

"I already have a VIP card, why did you give me another one?"

"There are more than 30,000 dollars in this card. When you go to eat, you can directly swipe the card."

"No need, I have money."

Lee Minho didn't expect that Han Seungwoo would give him the VIP card with more than 30,000 dollars in it.

When the red light ahead turned green, Han Seungwoo drove the car and said.

"Your hand is injured, so it's inconvenient for you to cook. With this card, you can order takeaway at their house. Just call and report the card number."

Lee Minho couldn't help his heartbeat to speed up.

"You...why are you so nice to me all of a sudden?"

This is another car pick-up, another breakfast, and now he is also sending him a card and money.

They had only known each other for two days, and Han Seungwoo was too kind to him.

So good that Lee Minho felt a little unreal.

Han Seungwoo looked ahead and said lightly,

"Favor."

"Favor?"

Lee Minho's eyes widened.

"It will take about fifteen days for me to return to Shanghai to participate in the competition. You take my card and eat my meal. After fifteen days, you won't refuse to see me again, right?"

The noon sun was a bit dazzling, and from the window, it shone on Han Seungwoo's face, making his entire face seem to be covered with a layer of golden light.

Looking from Lee Minho's direction, under the golden light, the lines of Han Seungwoo's facial features became more graceful and

delicate.

Lee Minho was stunned and said in dazed.

"Of course."
