No matter what Yuan Zhou thought, Jiang Shang still lined up for lunch as promised.
Jiang Shang ordered Steamed Tofu with Minced Pork and a bowl of plain white rice. He was sure that his wife would also order this dish at night.
Because he had heard her say that she wanted to eat this dish twice, he habitually remembered it.
Half a serving of Steamed Tofu with Minced Pork and half a bowl of plain white rice suited Jiang Shang's appetite. He ate it up happily, thanked Yuan Zhou again, and then left.
The lunch ended at the usual time. In the afternoon, Yuan Zhou continued to write the unfinished plan, which was prepared by Yuan Zhou for the inauguration speech of the Green Chef Association three days later.
Although it was the first time for him to be the chairman, he must have seen Peppa even if he had never eaten pork before.
Yuan Zhou thought that as the chairman, he would naturally talk about how he would lead the Green Chef Association to develop. Therefore, it was necessary to write the plan.
Although Yuan Zhou was experienced in writing the plan with the help of the Village Chef Association, it was inevitable that he would make some changes. As a result, the afternoon passed quickly.
After the alarm clock rang, Yuan Zhou directly got up and began to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
It was at this time that the experienced foodies or the gluttons who had read the strategy guides would set off.
Of course, there was another person who came to Taoxi Road earlier. It was Li Yueshu, Grandma Li.
Grandma Li had always been fastidious. Today, she wore a beige long-sleeved shirt, black trousers, and a pair of clean brown leather shoes. Her gray hair was tied up with a bright-colored silk band, and she carried a beautiful handbag in her hand. Overall, she looked very proper.
When Grandma Li arrived, there was no one lining up at the entrance of the Yuanzhou shop. Therefore, she didn't grab Wuhai's seat, but turned to the entrance of the Vegetarian Banquet Restaurant.
Broth, rice, and Meaty Fat were lying there.
Grandma Li's target was very clear. She went straight to Meaty Fat, who was lying beside Broth's head.
After several months of being fed by Wuhai, Meaty Fat's body shape was worthy of her body shape.
It was a three-flower cat, but it was as big as a tangerine. It was lying beside Broth with its round body. It was no smaller than Broth, a hybrid Poodle.
"Meaty Lot, Grandma is here to see you. Look what I brought for you." Grandma Lee squatted in front of Meaty Lot and took out a can of cat food from her handbag while speaking.
Yes, Grandma Li wanted to raise a cat because it was meaty, and Jiang Shang wanted to raise a dog because he liked Broth, who was as smart as a human.
The fight between the cat and the dog would never end!
"Come and eat. This is your favorite canned beef," Grandma Li said as she pried open the can.
The aroma of beef wafted out. Meaty Lot raised its head and looked at Grandma Lee. Its cat eyes were wide open as it stared at the canned meat.
It was obvious that Meaty Lot was hungry, but she stared at the can without moving. It seemed like she was waiting for Grandma Lee to bring it to her mouth.
"Come on, Meaty Lot. You have to come over and eat by yourself. Come on." Grandma Lee looked at Meaty Lot with anticipation, waiting for her to get up and walk over.
Actually, Grandma Lee wasn't trying to tease Meaty Lot. She just hoped that she could walk more and exercise more.
In order to raise a cat, Grandma Lee had specially visited a veterinarian in order to get to know more about cats so that she could raise them better.
Obviously, however, Grandma Lee failed. Meaty Lot just stared at the can without even moving its paws.
Grandma Lee persuaded it gently for a while, but Meaty Lot still kept staring at the can and didn't move.
In the end, Broth couldn't bear it anymore. It stood up and barked. Then, it picked up Meaty Lot's nape with its mouth and walked two steps before throwing Meaty Lot in front of the can.
The "two steps" wasn't just a description. It meant that it only took two steps. After all, Grandma Lee was only two steps away from Meaty Lot.
However, Meaty Lot seemed to be quite used to it. It didn't struggle at all and even slightly curled its legs so that it wouldn't touch the ground.
After it was put down, the can was right beside Meaty Lot's mouth. It could be said that Broth threw it very precisely.
Since the can was near its mouth, Meaty Lot naturally ate it without hesitation.
Witnessing all that, Grandma Lee couldn't help feeling angry and amused. She could only push the can away from Meaty Lot from time to time.
The amount of a can wasn't much. After Meaty Lot ate it up, Grandma Lee went to line up.
As usual, Grandma Lee intended to chat with the old man when she was lining up. Only when she turned her head did she find that the old man wasn't there.
Thinking of the quarrel, Grandma Lee immediately turned her head and took out a book that wasn't very thick from her handbag.
"I'm well prepared," Grandma Lee muttered and then started reading.
After she finished reading one-third of the book, it was Grandma Lee's turn to enter the restaurant.
Grandma Lee sat alone at one side of the table for four. Sitting around her were all young women and men, but none of them were old men.
Therefore, Grandma Lee didn't take the initiative to greet her as usual.
It was Zhou Jia who asked when she came over to take the order, "Grandma Lee, are you alone tonight?"
"Yeah. That old man is busy and didn't come," Grandma Lee said with a smile.
"Um. What do you want to eat today?" Zhou Jia asked.
"A serving of Steamed Tofu with Minced Pork and a serving of plain white rice of the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisines," after saying that, Grandma Lee automatically transferred the money to her.
"Okay. One moment, please." Zhou Jia nodded the head and then went to take the order.
In the kitchen, Yuan Zhou had already seen Grandma Lee. When he heard the order, he felt relieved.
That's right. Yuan Zhou knew that the two people who knew each other so well would definitely make up soon.
Speaking of which, although the dishes were half, the money would be more. After all, both of them had to pay first before they could eat. It was equivalent to paying for two servings for one serving.
Jiang Shang offered to change the extra money into small change and put it in the box at the door, which was used for emergencies. Naturally, Yuan Zhou didn't have any objection.
Soon, the dishes ordered by Grandma Lee were served on the table. Just like what Yuan Zhou had said, the difference between half of the dishes and half of the rice was too obvious.
Once Grandma Lee saw that, she understood the reason.
"Does this old man think I'm blind? It's impossible for Boss Yuan to be short weight. It must be you, old man." Although Grandma Lee sounded fierce, there was still a smile on her face.
"You are so troublesome. I can also finish one serving."
While muttering, Grandma Lee ate half of the Steamed Tofu with Minced Pork and rice. Her heart, however, became soft and warm along with the extremely delicious Steamed Tofu with Minced Pork.
Grandma Lee was old and usually ate slowly. Today, however, she ate five minutes faster than usual. After she finished the meal, she left.
She walked a little faster in the beginning, but when she was about to reach home, she wandered around leisurely. She didn't enter the door until the usual time.
As expected, Jiang Shang was watching the news on the sofa as soon as he entered the door.
Jiang Shang sat still and watched the news without blinking. He didn't look at Grandma Lee at all, as if it wasn't him who had just stared at the door lock.
"Raise a dog. I think cats nowadays are too lazy. Besides, Meaty Lot didn't move today," Grandma Lee glanced at Jiang Shang and said lightly.
"Really?" Jiang Shang asked excitedly.
"Of course. But I just think cats nowadays are too lazy. I'm not angry." When Grandma Lee said that, she obviously forgot that she had called Meaty Lot cute when it didn't move at all.
"Heh-heh. Thank you, old woman. Let's go and see the dog tomorrow," Jiang Shang said excitedly.
"Don't rush. Let's get prepared first. It's a life," Grandma Lee said angrily.
"You're right. Let's wait for a few days. Let's wait for a few days." Jiang Shang looked at his old woman's face and agreed. Meanwhile, he also had an idea.
Since the old woman had given in, he also had to show his sincerity. Tomorrow was a good day to show his sincerity.
