During the daytime in the winter of Chengdu, there would occasionally be a big sun. The warm light would shine on the earth, but when the cold wind blew, the warmth would immediately be blown away.
The breakfast time of master chef Restaurant had already passed. Usually, there would be many stalls selling snacks on the street. Except for some steamed buns, deep-fried dough sticks, and soy milk, which would only be placed until the end of lunch, other things such as Daddi, skewers, cold noodles, and so on would be placed until the end of dinner.
This was why it had become a ghost beer market.
There were some changes today. Not long after breakfast time ended, the hawkers all moved in unison, receiving scattered business while shrinking their sphere of influence.
“Creak, creak.”
A sharp sound of chains rubbing against each other could be heard. Soon, a figure in uniform appeared on the street, staring at the bicycle.
It was Zhou Yu riding his broken car to perform official duties again.
“I say, little Zhou, be careful when you’re riding your bike. Don’t rush on the road.” The uncle who sold the Daddi laughed and teased as he packed the things nimbly.
“That’s right. It’s time to change your old car. Look, it can’t even keep up with your speed.” The Auntie selling dragon head snacks followed the old man closely.
The rest of the uncles and aunties were waiting for Zhou Yu’s rebuttal before they continued.
This was a scene that happened once a month. Sometimes, it could even happen twice a month.
Taoqian road was scheduled to have a big street inspection every month on this day. Everyone would tidy up the things that were not usually neat and tidy to keep the street clean.
Zhou Yu would also take the trouble to come to inform them in advance every month. At the same time, he would first check if there were any areas that didn’t conform to the regulations, and then adjust them together with them to prevent anything illegal from being confiscated, which would be bad for both sides.
Therefore, when Zhou Yu arrived, the uncles and aunties were very welcoming. Of course, the way they welcomed him was through everyone’s teasing, a special way for the vendors and the urban management to communicate emotionally.
After that, Zhou Yu would also take the opportunity to argue with the aunties and uncles. He was in a good mood today, so he didn’t care about these jokes.
“You guys know I’m slow, so can’t you just hurry up and pack?” Zhou Yu pretended to be serious, but he couldn’t hide the joy on his face.
“It’s almost time for the inspection. Everyone, hurry up and get to work,”Zhou Yu said.
“Little Zhou, you seem to be in a good mood. What’s the matter? did you pick up money?” The fruit seller asked with a smile.
“I’m in a good mood because I’ve encountered something good. ” Zhou Yu’s hands didn’t stop helping.
“What is it? Tell us and we’ll be happy too. ” The Auntie selling tea eggs also joined in the fun.
“I lost my phone before. I was going to buy a new one over the weekend, but I got it back in just two or three days. This is the first time I’ve found something that I’ve lost. The police are so efficient.” Zhouyu said.
“I can get it back if I lose it. It didn’t cost money, right?”
“It’s indeed a good thing to regain what you lost. ”
“You’re already so old, yet you’re still calling me uncle. ”
Everyone was talking at once, and they were also sincerely celebrating. However, the movements of their hands were not slow. After all, they were all familiar with the place.
“Everyone, hurry up. It was the comrades from the security team who helped catch the thief and found him. It didn’t cost any money. What’s wrong with calling the police uncle? when you see the police, call them uncle. My teacher taught me that when I was young.” Zhou Yu saw that everyone was almost done packing up, so he planned to go to the front to see if the main force was arriving soon.
Yuan Zhou had just finished washing up and went downstairs when he saw Zhou Yu’s back, which was full of pride. However, he still heard Zhou Yu’s last words.
“He’s indeed very efficient. I’m cheering for the police. ” Yuan Zhou muttered in his heart and then began to move the necessary items to the door of the restaurant, intending to continue practicing sculpting.
As for The Cake House, Yuan Zhou had almost finished his experiments and could guarantee that he could get the effect he expected. He just needed to do it at the planned time.
As a result, he had more free time and could finally settle down. He didn’t need to spend half an hour sculpting in the evening anymore.
When he saw Yuan Zhou sculpting, time had passed quite quickly. It was as if it had ended in an instant when Yuan Zhou had just started sculpting and then it was lunchtime.
It was Jiang Changxi’s turn today. Queen Jiang came and Zheng Jiawei also followed Wu Hai and Zhou Xi to have lunch.
Naturally, Yuan Zhou also noticed that Jiang Changxi, Zheng Jiawei, and the others who had just arrived for the winter solstice had come for lunch. As usual, he nodded to them as a greeting and then continued to cook seriously.
It was true that Queen Jiang and the others took time out of their busy schedules to come here today with heavy responsibilities. At least, Jiang Changxi and Zheng Jiawei were. Zhou Xi could be considered as half of them. As for Wu Hai, he was just a passerby.
The cause of the matter was that Yuan Zhou had promised to have mutton soup to drink on every day of the winter solstice festival in the future. In addition, the company had been buying New Year’s goods recently. Then, man man’s words woke her up from her dream.
With the help of boss Yuan and Queen Jiang, man man had opened quite a few chain stores. Therefore, she would definitely be included in the New Year’s goods.
After drinking the mutton soup that day, she had complained in the group,””It would be great if boss Yuan could have the mutton soup every day. I don’t think we need to drink it in the restaurant. It would be good to bring it out after it is packaged.”
On that day, Yu Chu happened to be in the group chat and asked Queen Jiang about the arrangement of the New Year’s food. This immediately opened up man man’s foodie mind.
“By the way, boss yuan can sell New Year’s goods. If we have boss Yuan’s New Year’s goods, we will definitely have a Happy New Year.” Man man sighed with emotion sincerely.
“Eh? This is a good idea!” Jiang Changxi was planning the possibility of this matter in her heart.
Because Queen Jiang probably had to go abroad for the new year and discuss business this year, they were still very concerned about the New Year’s goods.
Next, the group started to discuss the feasibility of boss Yuan selling New Year’s goods and formulated plans. And then today, Jiang Changxi and Zheng Jiawei came to carry out the plan.
Although they were the first to finish their meal, they didn’t leave. Instead, they sat on the bench in front of the store and waited for lunchtime to end.
They didn’t want to waste any time. Everyone was trying to simulate the possible situation that might happen later. After all, compass wasn’t called compass for nothing. However, the appearance of the mutton soup gave everyone a glimmer of hope.
For food, just this little bit of light was worth everyone’s 100% effort.
Even Wu Hai came to the side and started to give advice, which was very rare.
After Yuan Zhou sent off the last batch of customers and su Ruoyan, Jiang Changxi and the others stood up and walked towards Yuan Zhou.
“What’s the matter?” Yuan Zhou asked.
There was definitely something going on when these people appeared together. Yuan Zhou wasn’t stupid.
“That’s right. Boss Yuan, we have something to discuss with you,” Zheng Jiawei took the lead.
“Come in and talk.” Yuan Zhou turned around and walked into the restaurant.
After serving everyone a cup of plain water, he signaled everyone to sit down and talk. It had to be said that Yuan Zhou was much more generous as he was rich. He even knew how to treat others to plain water.
