Zhou Zhangju followed Lee Yanyi blankly and entered the western restaurant named "Masterwork Nonsuch". At this moment, he felt that the English name was too glaring.
"I know you don't like to go to the same restaurant twice, so I specifically found this western restaurant beside The Kitchen God," Lee Yanyi explained.
Thinking carefully, Lee Yanyi indeed didn't mention that he was going to The Kitchen God tonight. He only mentioned that he was going to Taoxi Road. Zhou Zhangju took a deep breath and looked at Lee Yanyi deeply.
Why would he misunderstand? Firstly, it was because of Lee Yanyi's character. As an old friend, Lee Yanyi definitely knew which restaurant was 9 points and wouldn't go to a restaurant that was 9 points. Secondly, on the way here, Lee Yanyi kept talking about Yuan Zhou. Anyone would understand that they were going to The Kitchen God next.
Zhou Zhangju wasn't stupid. He instantly understood that Lee Yanyi was doing this on purpose. But he really didn't expect that Lee Yanyi would use such a suicidal method. If he couldn't eat The Kitchen God, then Lee Yanyi wouldn't be able to eat dinner either.
What kind of grudge was this? This was too ruthless.
"Welcome, Mr. Lee and Mr. Zhou, to our restaurant. I'm Head Chef Lee Li." Lee Li ran to welcome them. After all, they were two famous food critics and one of them was Lee Yanyi. Naturally, he couldn't be careless.
"Sorry for bothering you today, Head Chef Lee." Lee Yanyi felt much happier when he saw Zhou Zhangju's constipated expression. Therefore, his attitude towards Lee Li became much better.
"Let's go, Zhangju. Even if you don't write a review for The Kitchen God, this western restaurant should be fine, right?" Lee Yanyi said.
Zhou Zhangju was inwardly angry, but he still maintained a smile on his face. He nodded, "No problem. This western restaurant is fine."
Then, Li Li led the two into the restaurant. Now, Li Li was thinking that everything was possible when he followed Head Chef Yuan. With a Western Cuisine Master cooking, he didn't even need to do anything and two famous food critics would come to his restaurant. Moreover, every time the Kitchen God held an event, his restaurant's business would boom. Ever since Li Li corrected his mindset, he felt like he was walking on the path of winning without doing anything.
"A few days ago, the restaurant was fortunate enough to receive Troma, Gauss, Barr, Maricello, Bauduin, and other famous western chefs. All the masters displayed their culinary skills, and I also learned a thing or two from them. Therefore, I came up with a new dish, Oriental Steak, which hasn't been put on the menu yet." Li Li introduced the main dish of the day.
As a food critic, he naturally recognized the names that Li Li mentioned. But these people were all in their seventies. They definitely wouldn't come to Chengdu for no reason. Lee Yanyi and Zhou Zhangju were puzzled.
Li Li immediately explained, "Here's the thing. These Western Cuisine Masters are mainly here to exchange pointers with Head Chef Yuan. I'm fortunate enough to be able to provide the venue. Head Chef Yuan's Western Cuisine skills are very high, and the Western Cuisine Masters admire him very much."
Lee Yanyi had eaten The Kitchen God's Swedish Meatball and Steak before. Therefore, he knew about Yuan Zhou's attainments in Western Cuisine.
After Li Li finished his introduction, he left.
The head chef had to go back now that he had started cooking. As Li Li left, Zhou Zhangju, who knew about this, became even more depressed. Yuan Zhou's Western Cuisine was so good that even the Western Cuisine Masters admired it. Why would they come to the other side of the street to eat Li Li's dishes?
Zhou Zhangju was a little autistic. Today was going to be a sleepless night.
The dinner time of The Kitchen God ended. Not long after, Yin Ya arrived.
"What made you so happy?" Yuan Zhou asked when he saw Yin Ya's smiling face.
"Miaomiao wrote me a letter." Yin Ya took out an envelope from her handbag and took out a letter.
Speaking of the envelope, Yuan Zhou recalled that Ling Hong had sent him a letter a few months ago. Inside the letter was a photo of him and Little Qing.
[Sister Yin Ya, my teacher told me that I could send you an email or a voice message to tell you about these things. But I feel that writing a letter is more sincere.
Therefore, when Sister Yin Ya received this letter, it was the first time I wrote a letter. Sister Yin Ya, the weather is getting colder. Remember to buy more clothes with Brother Yuan Zhou. (Whisper, remember to buy more clothes for Broth as well.)]
Opening the letter, Yin Ya held it. Yuan Zhou quickly finished reading it. He had to say that Miaomiao's handwriting was quite delicate. Usually, a letter talked about one's current situation. For example, how was life, were you happy, and so on. But Miaomiao's letter only said, "Everything is fine. No one is afraid of me." There was nothing else about her current situation. The rest of the content was basically reminding Yin Ya and Yuan Zhou to take care of their bodies and so on.
Besides, most of the letters were thank-yous. Yuan Zhou estimated that there were more than 20 thank-yous in one letter.
"Do you want to reply?" Yuan Zhou asked.
Yin Ya thought for a while and said, "Blockhead, I think we can each reply."
"That's good. Anyway, this letter is for both of us." Yuan Zhou nodded.
It was happily decided just like that.
"You finally made it here. Little Ya, eat something before you leave," Yuan Zhou suddenly said.
"Uh …" Yin Ya was stunned. They were clearly talking about the letter. Why did they suddenly talk about eating?
"I already had dinner," Yin Ya said.
Yuan Zhou said, "It's okay. I was going to cook a bowl of fermented glutinous rice dumplings for myself. Since Xiaoya is here, let's eat together."
"Glutinous rice dumplings." Yin Ya mumbled for a while and nodded in agreement.
Fermented glutinous rice dumplings were famous snacks in Sichuan Cuisine. Strictly speaking, whether the glutinous rice dumplings tasted good or not depended on the fermented rice. Although Yuan Zhou made it casually, his cooking skills and specifications were not to be underestimated.
Moreover, this was for Yin Ya. For Yuan Zhou, who was committed to making Yin Ya gain more weight, even a bowl of small glutinous rice dumplings had to be prepared carefully.
With the steady improvement of his culinary skills, Yuan Zhou's cooking speed had also increased correspondingly. The most direct benefit was that although the time for each meal was still fixed, the number of people who could enter the restaurant to eat gradually increased imperceptibly.
Very soon, Yuan Zhou was done. He opened the partition and walked out with the tray.
As Yuan Zhou got closer and closer, Yin Ya smelled an extremely special fragrance. It was sweet with a hint of sourness, which made her feel very appetizing.
Yin Ya, who was just silently telling herself that she would eat less no matter what Yuan Zhou said, instantly forgot her heroic words. She looked at the tray expectantly, completely without the reluctance from before.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhou secretly rejoiced in his heart. "If you want to lose the weight that I've worked so hard to raise, you have to ask if my cooking is okay."
In order to let Yin Ya eat more, this time, Yuan Zhou chose a slightly green bone porcelain bowl. The faint green marks on the outside and the bright red wolfberries inside were especially eye-catching.
"Hurry up and eat." Yuan Zhou put the tray on the small table and handed the bowl to Yin Ya.
"Blockhead, hurry up and eat too." Yin Ya took the bowl and took a deep breath of the fragrance. She eagerly picked up the white porcelain spoon, scooped a small glutinous rice dumpling, and began eating.
"Of course we'll eat together." Yuan Zhou took the opportunity to sit down.
The two of them ate the glutinous rice dumplings and chatted. The atmosphere was very good.
Suddenly, Yin Ya noticed that there was a small snuff bottle on the small table. It looked quite strange.
