Having checked the progress of the task contentedly, Yuan Zhou directly opened the door and entered the restaurant. Then, he went upstairs to wash up.
Having changed his clothes, Yuan Zhou went downstairs again and started to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
The dinner today was a little different than usual. After talking with Colin, Yuan Zhou updated two new dishes of Qianzhou Cuisine.
Communicating with a master of the same level could naturally help him gain something. Even Colin himself also changed some cooking methods of Qianzhou Cuisine in the following two days of lectures.
After talking with Colin, it had been one week since Yin Ya's birthday. Even the Vegetarian Banquet on the 20th was about to arrive. Then, Yuan Zhou couldn't bear it anymore.
There was no other reason than that Yin Ya didn't come to the restaurant for meals during this period.
In the past, Yin Ya also didn't come to the restaurant for a long time. But the situation was a little different this time. Therefore, Yuan Zhou would look at the customers waiting in line outside the restaurant every business time.
But she didn't come for a whole week. Therefore, Yuan Zhou couldn't help feeling a little puzzled and perturbed.
Finally, during the pub time on the day before the Vegetarian Banquet, Yuan Zhou couldn't help calling out to Jiang Changxi who walked at the end and hadn't entered the sergestes wall view door.
"You always come to drink alone recently." Yuan Zhou asked her seriously with a cold expression.
"Su Mu went back home and can't come out recently. So he drinks alone." Jiang Changxi said helplessly.
"Oh." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and didn't know what to say.
Nevertheless, Jiang Changxi looked at Yuan Zhou with her bright black eyes. Then, she flipped the black hair on her shoulder and said flirtatiously, "What? Boss Yuan, do you want to drink with me? "
"No. I don't drink when I cook." Yuan Zhou refused her flatly.
"Sigh. You hurt me every time." Jiang Changxi stroked her own chest and then sighed.
"You go drink." Yuan Zhou decided to ask another person.
"Don't. I still have something to ask." Jiang Changxi waved her hand and said.
"There's no need. Pub time is starting." Yuan Zhou frowned. He had a bad feeling about this.
"I just want to ask if the bed Ling Hong recommended is comfortable. Is it enough to turn over? "Jiang Changxi leaned against the wall and tilted her head.
"It's very comfortable. You can buy it from him." Yuan Zhou stopped Jiang Changxi's words.
"Both of you are so unromantic. Little Ya only knows how to work overtime every day," Jiang Changxi said meaningfully.
"Hmm?" Yuan Zhou raised his eyebrows and asked with a puzzled expression.
"That young lady has been working overtime recently, saying that she wants to save money. I asked her to come here to drink and relax, but she refused. Even I couldn't refuse her reason for working overtime, so she had to come alone," Jiang Changxi said.
"Overtime?" Yuan Zhou asked.
"Alright. I won't bother you anymore, Boss Yuan. I'm going to drink." Jiang Changxi waved her hand and then turned around and walked into the sergestes wall view door.
Before she turned around, Jiang Changxi glimpsed the faint worry on Yuan Zhou's face.
"They are really two young people." Jiang Changxi sighed inwardly and then went to drink.
"Working overtime to save money? What's the matter? "Yuan Zhou naturally couldn't hear Jiang Changxi's words. He was just thinking about Yin Ya silently in his heart.
"Let me go and ask her." Yuan Zhou thought of quite a few ideas in his heart, but he rejected them all in the end.
One was because of Jiang Changxi's words and the other was that it was too late to ask her now. Yuan Zhou planned to make a decision after the vegetarian banquet tomorrow.
The 20th of the first month arrived amidst Wuhai's strong resistance. Early in the morning, Wuhai got up and ran to Yuan Zhou's back door and knocked on it.
While knocking, Wuhai shouted, "Yuan Zhou, Boss Yuan, are you really only going to cook vegetarian dishes today? No meat?"
After knocking for about five minutes, Yuan Zhou came out in sportswear.
"Why are you here?" Yuan Zhou asked.
"I have been knocking on the door for an hour," Wu Hai said shamelessly.
"Oh. I didn't have breakfast today." Yuan Zhou said.
"Are you really not going to cook meat today?" Wuhai stared at Yuan Zhou and asked.
"No." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"Then what do you eat?" Wuhai didn't give up and asked.
"I told you last time. I'm a vegetarian." Yuan Zhou reminded him.
"Alright." Seeing Yuan Zhou's affirmative tone, Wuhai bent his back and walked away with his shoulders drooping.
Yuan Zhou didn't feel strange about Wuhai's arrival, but another person made Yuan Zhou feel strange.
That was, Zhou Shijie came and had been waiting at the back door of Yuanzhou Shop since early in the morning.
When Yuan Zhou came back, Zhou Shijie was squatting and greeting Broth.
"Uncle Zhou? Why are you here so early? "Yuan Zhou wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with puzzlement.
"Yuan, have you finished your jogging? Good. Even a chef should have a good body. Otherwise, he won't be able to carry the wok in the future. "Zhou Shijie looked at the energetic Yuan Zhou with satisfaction and nodded his head continuously.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and looked at Zhou Shijie with puzzlement.
"I'm here to deliver something to the old man, Colin," Zhou Shijie answered.
"Master Colin?" Yuan Zhou asked.
"Yes, that's him." Zhou Shijie nodded his head and took out a small earthen jar.
The earthen jar was dark brown in color and wasn't big. It was about 30 centimeters high and 15 centimeters in diameter, just like the ones used at home to make pickles.
"Here, this is what he asked me to bring to you. He said that he made it himself." Zhou Shijie said.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou." Yuan Zhou took it with both hands and said.
"What do you mean by 'trouble'? It was the old man who was uncomfortable. Before he left last night, he asked me to take it from him." Zhou Shijie said impatiently.
Yuan Zhou didn't reply. He just looked at the size of the earthen jar carefully.
"By the way, why did you say that you wanted to discuss Shandong Cuisine with me last time? Are you going to learn Shandong Cuisine? "Zhou Shijie just complained to himself. After that, he changed the topic to Yuan Zhou.
That's right. Since Yuan Zhou accepted the level-up task two days ago, Yuan Zhou called Zhou Shijie that night and said that he wanted to discuss Shandong Cuisine.
That's right. He wanted to discuss Shandong Cuisine with Zhou Shijie. Although Zhou Shijie lived in Chengdu and even the headquarters of the Chef's Alliance was in Chengdu, Zhou Shijie was a Shandong Cuisine Master. To be precise, he was proficient in many cuisines, but Shandong Cuisine was the best.
At that time, he was famous for his Shandong Cuisine, while Zhang Yan was famous for his Sichuan Cuisine. At that time, there was a saying that Shandong Cuisine was for the high-class officials and nobles in the upper class. Huaiyang Cuisine was for the rich businessmen because of its delicacy and knife skills, while Sichuan Cuisine was for the common people.
At that time, Zhang Yan and Zhou Shijie were competing for the position of the President of the Chef's Alliance. In addition, the two of them had been competing with each other when they were young, so they didn't get along with each other until now.
"I feel that I have benefited a lot from the exchange with Master Ke Lin. That's why I want to learn more about different cuisines so that I can improve my culinary skills," Yuan Zhou said solemnly and subconsciously stood up straight when he talked about culinary skills.
"That's not a problem. Just ask me whatever you want to know. I, your Uncle Zhou, am free." Zhou Shijie ignored the pile of documents on his desk.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou. Next time, I will invite you for a meal and we can discuss culinary skills," Yuan Zhou said sincerely.
"Not at all. It's good that I can improve. But I won't refuse your cooking," Zhou Shijie shook his head and said with a smile.
