A whole roasted lamb weighed about 31 to 34 kilograms after it was roasted. Including Yuan Zhou, there were 14 people eating together.
They started eating at 9: 00 pm. At about 10: 00 pm, there were only some bones left on the table.
In other words, the bones were all on everyone's plates. The longest spine bone was occupied by Wuhai alone.
His reason was very good, "I'm the one who notified everyone to treat today, so this bone belongs to me."
Because the largest bone was taken away by Wuhai, the rest of the leg bones were divided equally among everyone.
Yuan Zhou didn't participate in it. He just watched them divide the last bone quietly. After all, he could roast a lamb for himself at any time, so he didn't want to snatch the food of others.
At that time, Wuhai, who was gnawing on the spine bone, said clearly, "Are we eating Zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival today?"
Once Wuhai said that, everyone looked at Yuan Zhou expectantly.
"No," Yuan Zhou answered straightforwardly.
"Alright." Wuhai looked at the bone in his hand and then at his own belly. He didn't make a fuss.
Less than a second after the restaurant fell silent, Ling Hong said again, "Then why did you think of treating us to roasted whole lamb on the Dragon Boat Festival?"
"It's a festival. It's more lively to eat together," Yuan Zhou answered earnestly.
"Cough cough." Wuhai coughed to attract everyone's attention. Then, he slightly loosened the spine bone in his hand and started to talk.
"Festivals, right? Let's not talk about the Spring Festival on the first day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the Qingming Festival on the fifth day of the fourth lunar month. Let's talk about the festivals after that, Yuan Zhou. "Wuhai originally wanted to touch his mustache, but when he raised his hand and found it was covered with oil, he put it down again.
"Apart from the Dragon Boat Festival, there's also the Chinese Valentine's Day on the seventh day of the first lunar month, the Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Double Yang Festival on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the Laba Festival on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Lunar New Year's Eve on the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month. I'm very free on all of them and I especially like to eat with others." Wuhai looked at him sincerely.
Wuhai's words were spoken quickly and clearly, causing everyone to be stunned.
"Wuhai, you have the ability to memorize the calendar?" Ling Hong was surprised.
"I can even memorize recipes," Wuhai said proudly.
"Awesome, my Wuhai." Jiang Changxi patted Wuhai's head with a look of approval.
"Yeah, Wuhai did a great job." Chen Wei gave him a thumbs up.
Wu Zhou's family of three also gave Wu Hai a thumbs-up to show how awesome he was. Mr. Wei and his daughter looked at Yuan Zhou expectantly.
Yin Ya, Zhou Jia, and Shin Min were the most reserved.
"Speaking of which, Yuan Zhou, we are all very willing to accompany you to have a meal. We don't have to stick to festivals. I'll come whenever you call me." Ling Hong patted on his chest and said with the spirit of brotherhood.
Once he said that, the people beside him nodded their heads repeatedly to show their agreement.
"Ho Ho." Yuan Zhou looked at the group of people and instantly became speechless.
"I can come even if I don't call you. I'm just upstairs." Wuhai added silently.
"Hurry up and eat. After that, it's going to rain heavily." Yuan Zhou held back his impulse to beat these people to death and said lightly.
"Ok, ok, ok. Don't forget that our promise is still valid." Almost everyone said that at the same time.
Yuan Zhou stood up to wash his hands and didn't say anything.
With this episode, the others no longer teased Yuan Zhou. After all, they were still waiting for the next time to have a meal together.
Therefore, the end of the Roast Whole Lamb was quite peaceful. They all gnawed on the bones earnestly and then bid farewell to Yuan Zhou one by one after they finished eating.
Standing at the door, Yuan Zhou saw them off when they walked out of the brightly lit Taoxi Road and then left separately.
After that, Yuan Zhou went back to the restaurant and started to tidy up slowly alone. Actually, Yin Ya, Zhou Jia and Shin Min all wanted to stay and help to tidy up, but were refused by Yuan Zhou.
"How nice it is today." When Yuan Zhou finished tidying up and washed his hands, he couldn't help revealing a smile.
As for the remaining lamb bones, they naturally belonged to the broth and rice, which were also good for grinding teeth.
Fortunately, Wuhai couldn't bite through the lamb bones. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any left.
Yuan Zhou went upstairs and read. He went to bed one hour earlier than usual. As usual, he got up at 5: 30 am the next day to exercise and then prepare breakfast.
As soon as the breakfast time ended, Yuan Zhou received the photo taken by Su Mu.
"You have a new email." It was the email reminder specially set by Yuan Zhou.
Once he heard the sound, Yuan Zhou wiped his hands and immediately took out his phone to check it.
Yuan Zhou looked through the photos in the phone with a gentle expression. Apparently, he was quite satisfied with them.
"I have a good foundation and long legs. No matter how I take the photos, I look good. It's just that the phone screen is a little small." Yuan Zhou said inwardly.
After he finished checking, Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then sent three photos to Zhong Lili.
The three photos were the ones that Yuan Zhou felt were the most low-key and meaningful.
The first one was Yuan Zhou crossing his arms on the chest and looking at the camera with a sharp look. The second one was a photo of cooking with a side face. From the photo, one could tell he was cooking earnestly, although it was just a pose.
The third one was a photo of cooking with a front face and a photo of a retro stove under it. Yuan Zhou was quite satisfied with every photo and felt it was suitable for the activities of local chefs.
Just when the email was sent successfully, Zhong Lili replied that she had received it one minute later.
After that, Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief inwardly. Then, he began to concentrate more and started to practice the new sculpting.
"I will strive to make all the dining plates made of these materials by hand in the future." Yuan Zhou set a goal for himself in the heart.
Time passed quickly. Just when Yuan Zhou was sculpting earnestly and the tableware in the restaurant was changed little by little, the activities of local chefs were carried out in full swing.
As it was led and invested by Yuan Zhou of Sichuan Province and supervised by the Chef's Association, the activities were held jointly by the three provinces. Besides, Zhou Shijie intended to make Yuan Zhou famous, Yuan Zhou's name was the leading one in every official report.
Of course, during this period, Zhou Shijie also gave an order that no media reporter was allowed to interview Yuan Zhou. He only said that Yuan Zhou was studying culinary skills.
In Zhou Shijie's opinion, he couldn't disturb Yuan Zhou's time to study culinary skills while he was making a name for himself.
First, the activities were held in various provinces and towns. Then, they went to the provincial capitals of Yun, Guizhou and Sichuan Province for the competition. Finally, after the top 10 were selected, they went to the provincial capital of Sichuan Province, the headquarters of the Chef's Alliance, for the final competition.
The activities went on very fast. The finals of the culinary skills would be held one month later. During this period, Yuan Zhou still accepted two interviews and even showed his face in the competition of Sichuan Province.
For the first activity initiated by him, Yuan Zhou was quite attentive and paid close attention to the progress of the competition from beginning to end.
If it weren't for his busy schedule, Yuan Zhou would like to go to various provinces and cities to see the activities in person. Zhong Lili, however, chose the front photo of the cooking method for the humanoid tablet that was placed in each competition venue.
Moreover, because of this activity, Yuan Zhou's popularity among the local chefs soared, which made Yuan Zhou's fame spread in the three provinces all of a sudden.
It seemed that the countryside was going to surround the city.
