Of course, Yuan Zhou didn't hear the self-deceiving words and Yuan Zhou didn't hear the sweet confession either. It was a pity.
However, that wasn't the only thing he felt regretful about. Yuan Zhou, who didn't go jogging, was reading the news on his phone. When he saw a push notification, a trace of regret flashed through his heart.
The news was related to the culinary world. It said that a Qianzhou Cuisine master would come to Rong today to participate in the culinary exchange.
This master was very old, more than ten years older than Zhou Shijie. He was in his seventies and hadn't come out for a long time. This time, it was said that he was invited to participate in the exchange.
If I can meet this Qianzhou Cuisine master and have an exchange, I might have a better understanding of modern Qianzhou Cuisine. This thought flashed through Yuan Zhou's mind and then he put it down.
After all, Yuan Zhou didn't know this master and it wasn't easy to have an exchange. Such masters usually had their own disciples. If they had experience, they would definitely pass it on to their disciples, not an outsider like Yuan Zhou.
On the other side, Yin Ya, who was standing at the entrance of the building, waited for the warmth on her face to dissipate. Then she quickly walked into the building and prepared to go to work.
While waiting for the elevator, Yin Ya looked at the box in her hand and couldn't help but walk into the washroom on the first floor of the building.
When Yin Ya came out again, her originally loose long hair had been tied up with a wooden hairpin.
Her black silky hair was tied up into a small bun with a dark purple wooden hairpin, revealing Yin Ya's small and fair face. Because the bun was loosely tied up, a few strands of playful short hair were naturally scattered around her ears, making her face look even more delicate.
Usually, a bun would make a girl look mature and capable. However, because the hairpin on Yin Ya's head was really beautiful and exquisite, it made Yin Ya look more beautiful.
That's right. The hairpin on Yin Ya's head was in the style of a peacock. It was a vivid peacock head. If one looked closely, one could even see the black and bright eyes of the peacock.
The peacock spread its tail and slowly disappeared into the black bun. Together with Yin Ya's dress, it looked very charming.
When walking into the elevator, Yin Ya subconsciously stroked the stray hair by her ear, feeling a little nervous and a little sweet in her heart.
Yin Ya went to work with this hairstyle for the whole day. Because she was a little nervous about using the hairpin made by Yuan Zhou, even though it was her birthday, she didn't go to Yuanzhou shop to treat herself at noon. Instead, she just ate some food.
In the evening, before Yin Ya could decide where she wanted to go for dinner, she was called away by a few colleagues who knew that it was her birthday and said that they wanted to celebrate together.
When she left, Yin Ya subconsciously looked at the bustling Taoxi Road before leaving.
At this time, the Yuanzhou shop was open for business for dinner. Ling Hong and Wuhai looked around as soon as they entered the shop. When they didn't see Yin Ya, they turned to look at Yuan Zhou.
"He didn't come?" Ling Hong asked.
"He didn't come," Yuan Zhou said with certainty.
"Tsk-tsk. It seems that there is still a long way to go," Ling Hong said.
"Boss Yuan, didn't you give her a gift? She didn't accept it?" Wuhai asked curiously.
"She accepted it and was very happy," Yuan Zhou's muffled voice came from the face mask.
"What happened?" Wuhai was puzzled.
"I also received a gift in return," Yuan Zhou emphasized.
"Since she accepted it and was very happy, and she even gave me a gift in return, it means that there is no problem." Ling Hong changed the way he put it.
After listening to Ling Hong's words, Yuan Zhou, who was a little uneasy because Yin Ya didn't come for a whole day, felt relieved instantly. Then, he directly turned around and went back to the kitchen.
"Since it is like this, why don't they eat together? Jia Jia, order the dishes," Wuhai said while calling Zhou Jia to order dishes.
At the side, Cheng Ying, who had been anxious all day, also couldn't help but ask, "Why don't they eat together directly?"
"You want to have sex with her, and she also wants to have sex with you. Both of you know that you will have sex one day, but you don't know when you will have sex. This is the best time," Ling Hong said meaningfully.
"Cough, cough, cough." Cheng Ying choked and coughed because of the straightforward words.
Zhou Jia, who was at the side, blushed. She turned around and went to order dishes for other customers.
On the other hand, Wu Hai nodded thoughtfully and said, "That makes sense."
Yuan Zhou, who was eavesdropping, was speechless in his heart, "No Discount Ling really thinks with his lower body."
Because of Ling Hong's words, everyone was no longer curious about the progress of Yuan Zhou and Yin Ya. They began to eat dinner seriously.
As usual, dinner lasted for two hours. After dinner, Yuan Zhou washed his hands and walked to the backyard of the pub. Of course, he didn't forget to bring a few dishes over.
It was rare that Wu Hai, who had always been here for free food and drinks, didn't come. It wasn't that Wu Hai had changed. Instead, he was thinking about Ling Hong's words when he was eating. Then, he had an inspiration. The moment he finished eating, he ran upstairs to draw.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou, who had been freeloading for three consecutive days, finally got to have a meal with Carpenter Lian and Ma Xiao.
"It's good that Painter Wu didn't come. He eats too fast," after dinner, Ma Xiao touched his stomach and said with a satisfied expression.
"Exactly. That kid eats like he's snatching food. This old man doesn't even have time to get his food," Carpenter Lian rarely agreed with his disciple.
"He went to draw, so he didn't come," Yuan Zhou said.
"It's rare that he still remembers that he is a painter and not a food critic," Carpenter Lian said.
"That's right," Ma Xiao nodded and agreed.
Yuan Zhou nodded and didn't say anything. After a while, Carpenter Lian, who was in a good mood, said again, "Your cutlery rack is done. You can install it yourself when the time comes. I won't be coming tomorrow."
"Okay, master," Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Okay, the cutlery rack is done and the food is eaten. Let's go," Carpenter Lian said and stood up, preparing to leave.
"I really can't bear to part with Senior Brother's food. Next time, when there's an opportunity to see treasures up close and eat Senior Brother's cooking, please call me," Ma Xiao said happily.
"Okay," Yuan Zhou nodded and agreed.
"Thank you, Senior Martial Brother." Ma Xiao immediately took the opportunity to express his gratitude.
"You're only thinking about eating," Carpenter Lian looked at his embarrassing disciple with disdain.
"Hehe, I can't help it. Senior Brother's food is too delicious," Ma Xiao touched his head and said honestly.
"Alright, let's go. It's getting late," Carpenter Lian, who couldn't be bothered to see his disciple act stupidly, urged him.
"Master, Junior Brother, please wait for a moment," Yuan Zhou called out to the two who were about to leave. Then, he quickly turned around and went to the first floor of the pub.
Carpenter Lian looked at where Yuan Zhou went and understood what was going on. Ma Xiao, on the other hand, looked at him curiously. Then, he began to savor the delicious taste in his mouth and the faint fragrance of the rosewood that lingered in the air.
The past few days have been wonderful, Ma Xiao thought to himself.
"Dadada," Yuan Zhou quickly walked back to the two.
"Master, this is the wooden box that I carved. You can keep it." Yuan Zhou took out the 23-centimeter-long wooden box in his left hand and handed it to Carpenter Lian. Then, he took the 15-centimeter-long wooden box in his right hand and handed it to Ma Xiao.
Although they were both boxes, they were very different from the one he gave to Yin Ya. After all, Yuan Zhou had seen a saying before: If what you give me is the same as what you give to others, then I don't want it.
Yin Ya's box was different. The items in the box were wood shavings and wooden hairpins. The difference was even greater.
