Chapter 2018

“How is it? which two dishes do you plan to eat today?” Huang Fei looked much better than when Yuan Zhou first saw him being discharged from the hospital. At least, his face was no longer green.

The reason he and Liu Li opened the restaurant in Chengdu was to get closer to their idol so that they could learn from him and improve their culinary skills. Therefore, they didn’t come to disturb Yuan Zhou often.

The two of them also agreed to come to master chef Restaurant once a week to eat. They would order Jiangsu dishes, and the quantity was not large. They would first order two dishes each, so they would have four dishes. After they finished eating, they could change to order another wave of dishes. This way, they would not be dazzled, and maybe they could figure out something.

Liu Li and Huang Fei thought for a long time and decided on Monday. The start of the week was such a good day.

“I’ll still have the same two dishes from last week, meatball in clear soup and shredded chicken in chicken soup. I’m feeling a little better now, and I want to try again this time.” Liu Li touched his stomach out of habit, but he did not manage to touch it.

Liu Li felt that he had let down his profession as a chef with a flat stomach that did not even have any fat.

“That’s great. I also feel that there’s some progress in the Golden Corner meatballs and white yuancai from last week. I’m thinking of doing some research this time.” Huang Fei said as he clapped his hands.

“That’s good. Same old rules. ” Liu Li said.

The two of them started to talk about other things, basically about cooking. Then, they silently waited in line for the meal.

Yuan Zhou was well aware of the behavior of Huang Fei and the other two. Before they did that, they had both come to visit Yuan Zhou and wanted to get his consent.

As long as they were here, they were customers. For Yuan Zhou, no matter what his purpose was, he was just a customer. In short, he was going to make the best food for every customer.

When the lunch time started, Yuan Zhou saw Huang Fei and the others come in and knew that it was definitely Monday. He nodded to them and then started to get busy.

As for Wu Hai, he was a beast who was addicted to eating and couldn’t extricate himself, especially a beast who had been hungry for three days. No one could afford to offend him. His breakfast was just to fill the gaps between his teeth. The focus was still on his lunch.

“Little Yanzi, order. I want to eat braised chicken with yellow mud, Jinling plate duck, biluo shrimp, honey sauce, three hooves, eel paste … That’s all. I’ll eat first. We’ll talk after.” Wu Hai ordered more than 30 dishes in one breath.

Su Ruoyan had already gotten used to Wu Hai’s actions. Even the surrounding customers had gotten used to it. When they heard Wu Hai ordering, they had a great appetite.

“Alright, I’ve noted it down. Please wait a moment.” Su Ruoyan wrote down the list and passed it to Yuan Zhou. Then, she started to order the dishes for the other customers.

After Wu Hai ordered the dishes, he laid on the table with only one purpose, which was to wait for the meal. However, it was rare that Zhou Xi wasn’t with Wu Hai today.

Even Yuan Zhou had to take a look to confirm that Zhou Xi was indeed not there before he started cooking.

“There’s an art exhibition Italy that I have to attend. I was busy so I didn’t go. Jiawei and Zhou Xi went together. ” Wu Hai was still very sensitive to Yuan Zhou’s gaze and thus directly said weakly.

“He’s probably so hungry that he doesn’t want to go out?” Yuan Zhou knew it well in his heart. Nevertheless, he nodded his head on the surface and walked into the kitchen, intending to cook.

Otherwise, he was afraid that Wu Hai would gnaw on the table in his restaurant when he got hungry.

The lively lunchtime kicked off, and the diners were active in master chef Restaurant again. They ordered food and then gave way to other diners. Occasionally, they gossiped, and the atmosphere was particularly strong.

“Boss, I’ll take my leave first.” Su Ruoyan said goodbye to Yuan Zhou after she confirmed that she had finished all the work.

“Be careful on the road.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Don’t worry, boss. Goodbye. ” Su Ruoyan waved her hand and left.

After watching su Ruoyan’s back figure disappear into the corner of the street, Yuan Zhou started to carry the sculpting tools out again. He planned to practice his knife skills in the afternoon.

After the new year, The Cake House, the master chef restaurant’s sports meeting, and the silver spoon banquet. It could be said that Yuan Zhou had completed three major events within two months.

“I wasn’t even this busy last year.” Yuan Zhou muttered.

Fortunately, nothing major happened in the following week. Yuan Zhou’s life became regular again.

A week later.

It was another sunny day, which made it easy to sleep in. The afternoon sun in Chengdu was not so bright, and it would occasionally hide behind the clouds.

One could see that Yuan Zhou picked up the knife and intended to carve a “Fu Lu Shou Xi” to try. At that time, there were few people on the street.

“Deng Deng Deng Deng”

It was the unique sound of footsteps of a child. As he heard the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, Yuan Zhou stopped and raised his head, only to see a small Cannonball rushing to his face.

“Wuwuwu”

He was three heads tall, and his chubby face was flushed from the strenuous exercise. He opened his small mouth and tried hard to breathe.

Yuan Zhou recognized him. This little boy was the boy who had praised him about a week ago. He could remember clearly the people who gave him fair comments, regardless of their age.

He was with his father before. Why did he suddenly appear alone?

Was he lost? While Yuan Zhou was thinking.

Lele finally caught her breath and said,””Uncle, uncle, are you that uncle Yuan?”

“Which uncle Yuan are you talking about?” Yuan Zhou said softly.

“He’s the most powerful uncle Yuan on this Street. ” Lele said with certainty.

“If it’s on this Street, then it’s probably me. I’m the only one with the surname Yuan.” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then said.

“That’s great, uncle Yuan. My dad said that you’re an amazing person and can do many things that others can ‘t. Can I ask you to do me a favor? I can pay you. ” Le Le clenched her chubby hands tightly and looked at Yuan Zhou nervously.

With a pair of sparkling eyes, it was obvious that he had great hope for Yuan Zhou.

Lele might be young, but he clearly remembered his father’s evaluation of Yuan Zhou.

“Not everything can be done. Can you tell me what it is first?” Yuan Zhou said patiently.

“It’s like this. My mom went to a very, very far place. My dad said that there’s no phone or internet there, so I can’t call mom. But I haven’t seen mom for ten days. Can uncle Yuan help Lele tell mom that Lele misses her a lot?” As Lele spoke, her round eyes were filled with tears.

On hearing that, Yuan Zhou’s heart thumped and he felt something was wrong. He sized up Lele who was wearing white children’s clothes and said gently,””Did your father tell you when your mother will be back?”

“Dad said that it will take a long time for mom to come back. She’s very busy because she’s on a business trip, but I want her to come back soon. Lele can’t sleep well at night without her mother. Uncle Yuan, can you help me ask my mom to come back earlier?” Lele stretched the distance with her hands while looking at Yuan Zhou expectantly.

Yuan Zhou pursed his lips and was a little at a loss. To be honest, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Even though he was very good at cooking, he couldn’t do anything about it. If he didn’t guess wrong, his mother probably wouldn’t be able to come back.
