After that, Grandfather Ling left. However, Yuan Zhou sat on the stone bench after sending Grandpa Jia off. Grandfather Ling's words echoed in his mind for a long time.
Grandfather Ling was right when he said that the little girl was human. Everyone was afraid. She had tried to remedy the situation, but she could not find the person.
Now, she was trying to become better. It was said that the little girl's salary was not high. However, she started donating to the veterans' relief center after work. That was one-third of her salary.
She was learning self-defense skills on her own. In order to protect herself and help others, she would visit Grandpa Jia whenever she was free. She would also pull weeds and clean the tombstones.
Moreover, she would always practice military boxing when the moon was bright for Grandpa Jia to see.
She even came to Yuanzhou shop before. However, she did not enter the shop.
She did all this because she did not stand up for Grandpa Jia at that time. She wanted to make up for it.
Grandfather Ling's words gave Yuan Zhou an image of a girl with a resolute and guilty expression standing in front of Grandpa Jia's grave, seriously practicing military boxing.
"She is living her life seriously and becoming better. Grandpa Jia, you will be happy, right?" Yuan Zhou said softly.
The haze in Yuan Zhou's heart after Grandpa Jia's death gradually disappeared. The warmth of the sun shone on his body.
"Maybe I can also pay my respects to him tonight," Yuan Zhou muttered inwardly.
In the following days, Yuan Zhou did pay his respects at night several times. However, he did not see the little girl no matter what time it was.
However, from the fact that the graveyard was clean and tidy, the little girl must have been here.
However, she did not even dare to place a bouquet of flowers in front of Grandpa Jia's grave.
Of course, this was a story for the future. What Yuan Zhou had to face now was not these things. It was the raging Wuhai.
Wuhai had been forcefully dragged out of the house by Wu Lin after breakfast. He only returned now. However, the moment he returned, he saw a group of people blocking the entrance of Yuanzhou shop.
Wuhai, who had a bad feeling in his heart, immediately opened his phone to check the group chat. Sure enough, everyone in the group was talking about Yuan Zhou's leave to hold the tea party.
"Dadada," Wuhai rushed into the store. Seeing that Yuan Zhou was not in the store and the sergestes wall view door was open, he shouted without thinking, "Compass, I want to come in. I want to come in now."
Although Wuhai was anxious, he did not directly rush into Yuan Zhou's courtyard.
Yuan Zhou, who was in deep thought, was interrupted by Wuhai. He couldn't help but hold his forehead helplessly. Seeing that Wuhai hadn't stepped in even though he was in a hurry, Yuan Zhou opened his mouth.
"Alright, come in," Yuan Zhou said.
"Shua" Practically as soon as Yuan Zhou's voice fell, Wuhai appeared in front of him, his speed as if he had teleported.
"You came back so fast," Yuan Zhou swallowed the surprise in his mouth and said indifferently.
"Are you going to ask for leave to hold the tea party after the vegetarian banquet?" Wuhai stroked his small mustaches and asked solemnly.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"Then what about my meals? If I starve to death … "Before Wuhai finished his words, Yuan Zhou took out the invitation and stuffed it into his arms.
"Your invitation," Yuan Zhou said.
Yuan Zhou took out the invitation that Engineer Cheng prepared for Wuhai.
"Eh …" Wuhai lowered his head and looked at the invitation and then looked at Yuan Zhou. Instantly, he didn't know what to say.
He had prepared to say a lot of words and act pitiful, but they were instantly choked in his mouth. This made Wuhai twist his neck uncomfortably.
"Remember to come when the time comes," after saying that, Yuan Zhou returned to his original position and continued writing the invitation.
"When did Compass understand me so well? This is too unscientific. I haven't even opened my mouth. I haven't even finished my sentence …" Wuhai flipped through the invitation and mumbled incessantly.
"Go out. It's not lunchtime yet." Yuan Zhou raised his eyebrows and looked at Wuhai.
"Oh. Seeing that I can come, I'll leave first." Wuhai nodded his head and left obediently with the invitation.
"This Wuhai." Yuan Zhou shook his head.
"I haven't told him about Grandpa Jia. Let's talk about it at night." Looking at Wuhai disappearing in an instant, Yuan Zhou gave up decisively.
After Wuhai left, Yuan Zhou finally had some peace. He finished writing the five invitation cards one stroke at a time. Then, he read a book for a while and it was time to prepare the ingredients for lunch.
In the morning, Zhou Jia and Cheng Ying had already explained to many customers about the tea party. Therefore, not many customers came to ask Yuan Zhou personally.
Of course, the customers still valued the invitation card very much. Therefore, they had already started to curry favor with Cheng Ying in private.
"Thanks to Teacher's father, I am now in high demand." Cheng Ying was thinking that she would be satisfied if she could have one-tenth of Teacher's father's influence in this lifetime.
Thinking of that, Cheng Ying suddenly slapped her head, "Cheng Ying, oh Cheng Ying. What are you thinking? You should be thinking that if you have one-tenth of Teacher's father's culinary skills, how can you reap without sowing?"
Cheng Ying cheered herself on.
After calming down, Cheng Ying thought to herself, "It's better to have one-tenth of influence. It's too difficult to have one-tenth of Teacher's father's culinary skills."
Back to the topic, the invitation list was in the hands of Engineer Cheng.
Even Cheng Ying was like this, not to mention Engineer Cheng. After Yuan Zhou posted on Weibo, his phone had not stopped ringing.
Some of them were Engineer Cheng's friends who wanted to ask if they could get an invitation card. The purpose of these people was very simple. The people who came to Yuan Zhou's tea party were naturally the big shots in the cooking world. As chefs, they naturally wanted to meet them and broaden their horizons.
Not everyone was like Yuan Zhou. Masters like Zhou Shijie, Zhang Yan, and Steamed Bun Ji could be met whenever they wanted.
There were also some businessmen who had a good relationship with Engineer Cheng. They saw the business opportunity and wanted to sponsor and cooperate with him.
Some of them sold tea leaves, fruits, food ingredients, and snacks. It could be said that there were a lot of them.
Even the seafood king of Sichuan Province, Bai Xiaoxiao, who had once met Yuan Zhou, called him personally.
"Hello, Engineer Cheng." Bai Xiaoxiao greeted him with a gentle voice.
"Boss Bai, are you also here to ask about the invitation card?" Engineer Cheng had received many phone calls. He didn't want to beat around the bush and thus asked directly.
Of course, the reason why Engineer Cheng didn't beat around the bush might be that he had followed Yuan Zhou for a long time.
"I do have such a presumptuous request." Bai Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate and admitted it directly.
"I'm really sorry. Master doesn't intend to hold a big tea party. The number of participants is fixed." Engineer Cheng repeated this sentence again.
"What a pity. I haven't tasted Boss Yuan's dishes for a long time," Bai Xiaoxiao said.
"Boss Bai, you can go to my restaurant directly. Master is open every day," Engineer Cheng said straightforwardly.
"Hahaha. I'm just too busy. I will definitely go next time if I have a chance," Bai Xiaoxiao said.
"See you next time," Engineer Cheng said and hung up the phone.
As soon as the phone was hung up, however, someone called him. Coincidentally, this person had also met Yuan Zhou once. Moreover, he met Yuan Zhou at the same time as Bai Xiaoxiao.
This person was Wang Xiang, the King of Haimen. The purpose of his call was naturally about the invitation card.
However, he wasn't on the invitation list formulated by Engineer Cheng. Therefore, he was also rejected by Engineer Cheng.
"Master is really getting more and more awesome. Normally, chefs don't even have the means to invite these people. But master came here himself when he heard the news," Engineer Cheng looked at his phone that rang again and couldn't help saying that.
Normally, the tea party would announce what kind of tea they would taste, just like an auction house. Before the auction started, they would publicize the core items.
Engineer Cheng also prepared to do so. However, it seemed that the whole world knew about it before it started.
Once others heard that it was Boss Yuan's tea party, they knew it must be the best.
According to incomplete statistics, Engineer Cheng had already rejected dozens of people.
In fact, it wasn't that Engineer Cheng was heartless and didn't give those chefs a chance to meet Boss Yuan's tea party.
It was because Yuan Zhou had told them before that the tea party would naturally be mainly about tea. Therefore, the people who came had better understand tea or like tea.
Engineer Cheng came to invite people based on this requirement. No matter how good their relationship was, they couldn't neglect the public for personal reasons.
"Sometimes, it's quite troublesome to be too ostentatious," Engineer Cheng sighed.
Now, Engineer Cheng was going to send the invitation card to the grandpa who often came to Yuanzhou shop for meals.
