The amount of two servings of pufferfish wasn't much. Moreover, with Wuhai at the side, they ate it even faster.
Speaking of which, Wuhai was quite restrained this time because he ate it with chopsticks instead of pouring it. Otherwise, Zhou Shijie and Lee Yanyi probably wouldn't even be able to eat a piece of fish.
"It's too little. I don't even have enough for my milk cat," Wuhai smacked his lips and said regretfully.
"It's indeed too little." It was rare for Lee Yanyi to agree with Wuhai's words. However, he always agreed with Wuhai every time he complained that it was too little.
"Yuan, your amount is indeed too little," Zhou Shijie also said, not fully satisfied.
And this time, before Yuan Zhou answered, Zhou Shijie said again, "Look at the three of us. We should have at least three fish."
"Wrong. It's four people. Boss Yuan also ate it and got four fish," Wuhai stroked his mustaches and said solemnly.
"That's right," Lee Yanyi nodded his head.
"Pufferfish can't be eaten too much," Yuan Zhou said.
"It's rare. No harm," Zhou Shijie said generously.
"I haven't eaten pufferfish since last year. I can have another one," Lee Yanyi said.
"Boss Yuan, you don't know whether I have eaten it or not," Wuhai looked at Yuan Zhou faintly.
Thinking carefully, Wuhai's words made sense. Ever since he started eating at Yuan Zhou's place, he would eat three meals a day here unless he went out.
It was the first time for Yuan Zhou to eat pufferfish while it was the first time for Wuhai to eat it.
"Not today. I only prepared two," Yuan Zhou said unhurriedly when he saw the three people looking at him expectantly.
"That's all?" Lee Yanyi stretched his head and looked at Yuan Zhou's kitchen.
"No more." Yuan Zhou stepped aside and gestured for everyone to look at the crystal fish tank. It was indeed empty.
"Your fish tank is so empty that even my kitten doesn't want to come here," Wuhai said disdainfully. Then, he changed the topic. "Is there really no more?"
"Um, that's all." Yuan Zhou said exactly the same thing. Even his tone was equally serious.
"Every time I come to Yuan Yuan for a meal, I always feel like I'm hungry." Zhou Shijie sighed.
"That's true. If I go to other places, people will prepare a table full of dishes for fear that I won't have enough to eat. But when I come to your place, I still can't eat my fill," Lee Yanyi also complained.
"It's not because I don't have a lot of them. It's because they're so delicious that I feel they're too little," Yuan Zhou declared solemnly.
"Anyway, I'm not full," Wuhai said stubbornly.
"You've only had dinner for less than an hour," Yuan Zhou looked at Wuhai and said earnestly.
"This has nothing to do with time. I'm just hungry," Wuhai said earnestly.
"Cough cough. Since Yuan says there's no more, then there's no more. But is there still this dish for the apprenticeship ceremony the day after tomorrow?" Zhou Shijie suddenly said.
"No," Yuan Zhou said cleanly.
"That won't do. Since you have acknowledged Old Man Lian as your master, you naturally have to let him have a taste of the best fish in the world," Zhou Shijie said with an expression of "I'm doing it for your own good."
"But I haven't obtained the pufferfish processing license yet. I can't process pufferfish outside," Yuan Zhou said primly.
"That's easy. I'll ask Lili to send it to you tomorrow," Zhou Shijie said immediately.
"I guarantee that the pufferfish I will provide will be of the highest quality. That's settled then. I still have something to do. See you at the apprenticeship ceremony the day after tomorrow," this time, Lee Yanyi spoke very quickly and walked very quickly, even faster than Zhou Shijie.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Yuan. I'll be leaving first. There's still a lot of work to do in this office," Zhou Shijie said as he walked. His speed was not slow either.
"Uncle Zhou, Uncle Lee …" Just as Yuan Zhou opened his mouth, the two of them had already disappeared.
"Tsk tsk, I've never seen such a shameless person. Compass, you want to acknowledge me as your master? Then I'll give you a painting. I can also attend the apprenticeship ceremony, right? "Wuhai first disdained the behavior of the two of them, then said in an incomparably natural manner.
"… You know Carpenter Lian?" Yuan Zhou was speechless.
"I don't know him, but I know you," Wuhai shook his head.
"The matter of treating is decided by Carpenter Lian, who is also my master. It's not up to me to decide," Yuan Zhou said.
"Alright, I understand. Carpenter Lian, right?" Wuhai nodded and turned to leave.
When he reached the door, Wuhai suddenly turned around, "Thank you, Compass, for the pufferfish. It was very delicious."
"You're welcome," Yuan Zhou said.
After the three of them left, the restaurant became empty. Yuan Zhou thought of the three of them who ran faster than rabbits just now. He shook his head and laughed, "Uncle Zhou and Uncle Lee are really old kids."
"I wonder what this Wuhai is up to. I feel like I'm seeing him at the apprenticeship ceremony," Yuan Zhou thought and felt helpless.
When it came to eating, there was probably no one more obsessed than Wuhai.
Time passed quickly. Soon, it was the day of Yuan Zhou's apprenticeship ceremony.
Carpenter Lian was very considerate of Yuan Zhou. The apprenticeship ceremony was set at nine in the evening. This time was completely designed for Yuan Zhou.
When Yuan Zhou received the time, he was very touched.
Of course, the apprenticeship ceremony was actually in the afternoon. However, after drinking the tea that Yuan Zhou served, Carpenter Lian chased Yuan Zhou away and did not need him to accompany him anymore.
Yuan Zhou wanted to stay, but he was chased away by Carpenter Lian. "It's not a big deal. I don't expect you to learn carpentry in the future. I just want to pass down my skills. There's no need for so many unnecessary and troublesome formalities."
During the apprenticeship ceremony, Carpenter Lian had said that he wanted someone to learn his skills after he passed away. However, he did not expect Yuan Zhou to be a carpenter in the future.
He also said that if it wasn't for the fact that he could only learn from a master, he would not ask Yuan Zhou to be his apprentice.
Carpenter Lian also said that because of Yuan Zhou's talent and temperament, he would teach him even if he did not have a master.
Carpenter Lian's way of doing things was quite contradictory. He wanted the status, but he did not really care about it. Moreover, he was very considerate of Yuan Zhou.
Therefore, when Yuan Zhou returned to Carpenter Lian's place after dinner, he seriously prepared a table of sumptuous banquet.
Yuan Zhou used 120% of his energy to make every dish. Therefore, even if the ingredients were not as good as the ones provided by the system, the taste did not lose out to the food in the restaurant.
Moreover, Yuan Zhou faintly felt that his culinary skills had improved a little.
There was only one table for the apprenticeship ceremony. There were a total of 12 people. Including Yuan Zhou, there were only 13 people. Among them, Wuhai was surprisingly among them.
Yuan Zhou was not surprised at all. After all, it was Wuhai.
After the apprenticeship banquet ended, it was already 10: 30 in the evening, and the people left one after another.
Wuhai and Yuan Zhou were picked up by Zheng Jiawei. The two were silent in the car. After a while, Yuan Zhou's phone rang.
It was still the same old and ear-piercing tinkling tinkling.
Yuan Zhou glanced at it and directly picked up the phone, "Chu Xiao?"
"Congratulations on being apprenticed to a master," Chu Xiao directly congratulated him on the other end of the phone.
"Thank you," Yuan Zhou said politely.
"I know about the Michelin restaurant. It's good to reject it. It's too early now," Chu Xiao said.
"It's not a problem of time. I think the Michelin restaurant's western food is very good, but I'm cooking Chinese food now," Yuan Zhou said seriously.
