Yuan Zhou realized that when you put your heart and soul into one thing, your memory for other things would decline.
Anyhow, apart from cooking skills and the matter about Xiao Ya, it was easy for Yuan Zhou to forget other things. Therefore, it was necessary for him to write them down.
Speaking of the old granny, she used to go up to Qingcheng Mountain to ask for a talisman of "instant success" for Yuan Zhou. She was quite healthy and would sweep away the trash in front of The Kitchen God's door early in the morning before going back to make buns and soy milk. But that was two to three years ago.
In the past two years, the old granny got older and older, and old age came with it. She couldn't take such physical labor anymore.
As far as Yuan Zhou knew, after the old granny was hospitalized for the first time, she passed the bun stall to her nephew.
Yuan Zhou visited the old granny a few times when she was hospitalized, just like how the old granny would bring a bowl of glutinous rice balls to visit Yuan Zhou every year during Chinese New Year.
What made Yuan Zhou rest assured was that the old granny was very cheerful all the time, and her treatment was quite successful. It was just that she couldn't bear to part with her old customers and would remind her nephew from time to time.
"Should I visit her at the hospital or go to her house? It's more convenient to go to her house, but I don't know if Xiaoya has time. If she does, we can go together, "Yuan Zhou pondered.
"It's almost time to go to the bar. I have to prepare the sobriety set. I'll discuss it with Xiaoya later."
Yuan Zhou put down the calendar and went to the bathroom to wash up, preparing to prepare the sobriety set.
After the bar ended and seeing Mao Ye leave safely, Yuan Zhou called Yin Ya to talk about it. Unfortunately, Yin Ya didn't have time tomorrow, and because she had been working overtime recently, it wasn't convenient for her to take a day off.
"Sorry, blockhead. I can't go with you." Yin Ya sounded gloomy on the other side of the phone.
"What's there to be sorry about? Xiaoya, you have to make sure you sleep and eat well no matter how busy you are," Yuan Zhou said.
"With you around, I don't have to worry about not eating well. I'll gain weight before I know it," Yin Ya said coquettishly.
The two of them chatted on the phone for a while.
Everyone on the internet was saying that the flavor of the new year was getting weaker and weaker. Hmm … there was indeed such a feeling.
In the past, during the New Year, children would be so happy that they would jump and jump. The streets would be decorated with lanterns and streamers, and families would be busy preparing for the New Year.
But now, it was less than half a month before the New Year. Only a few streets in Chengdu were decorated with red lanterns. It was indeed lacking in the festive atmosphere.
The most festive part of Chengdu was Taoyi Road. Regardless of whether it was the Queuing Committee or the shops on the street, they all started decorating a month in advance.
"Why hasn't Boss Yuan started selling the New Year's goods?"
"I heard that there are a lot of shops on Taokai Road this year. They are open for the New Year."
"I'm just waiting to buy the New Year's goods from The Kitchen God and then go home. I've already bought the tickets."
…
It was a brand new day, one day closer to the New Year.
"Xiaohai, are you awake? Are you ready to line up?" Zheng Jiawei whispered as he opened the door of Wuhai's house.
When he entered, he saw that Wuhai was already standing by the bed with his hair drooping. There was no need to call him, but his eyes were lifeless and he was still in the state of a puppet.
The reason for this was that Wuhai had stayed up late yesterday. He was in his room thinking about how to restore the roasted Golden Bird.
That's right. After eating it once, Wuhai wanted to eat it again. He wanted to eat it again, but the roasted Golden Bird was not on the menu. Therefore, he asked Jinhai for the recipe and made it himself.
The result was gratifying. The house did not burn down, and Wuhai was safe and sound.
As for the rest, he really could not ask for too much.
"I'll go feed Meaty Feifei first. Xiaohai, go cook some catfish for Meaty Feiduo. I've already bought it." Zheng Jiawei handed a plastic bag to Wuhai.
Actually, Wuhai was very sleepy at this time. It gave people the feeling that his body was awake, but his consciousness was still asleep. He took the catfish in a daze.
Ever since Wuhai brought Meaty Feiduo and Meaty Feiduo home, no matter how busy Zheng Jiawei was these days, he would first rush to Wuhai's place in the morning to personally make milk for Meaty Feiduo.
He did not know if it was because it had given birth to so many kittens and its nutrition had not kept up, but Meaty Feiduo had run out of milk a long time ago. When it was in the hospital, it had to drink milk. Naturally, it was the same treatment at home.
Originally, it was Wuhai's responsibility, but the day before, Wuhai directly fed Meaty Feiduo the catfish, which almost caused a problem. Zheng Jiawei felt that he should take care of Meaty Feiduo while taking care of Wuhai.
It just so happened that he could eat Boss Yuan's breakfast in the morning. Thinking about it, he felt that it was very necessary. At least, he had to wait until Meaty Feiduo was interested in meaty food.
It was probably because they were relatively delicate. Other cats were basically weaned and could eat some soaked soft food. However, when it came to Meaty Feiduo's place, it almost went to the hospital.
Zheng Jiawei took care of a cat and Wuhai alone. He wanted to take advantage of the time before Yuan Zhou started to eat and settle everything.
"Creak"
Zhou Xi was a step slower. When he pushed the door open and came in, he greeted, "Brother Jiawei, Eaves Wu, good morning. Let me help you."
"Xiaohai, I am going to meet Manager Xue of Xinhai Culture today. We have an appointment at the Painting God's Hut to discuss some publicity activities before the Chinese New Year. Do you want to go with me?" Although Zheng Jiawei felt that Wuhai would not go, it did not prevent him from asking.
The main reason was that Manager Xue admired Wuhai very much. Zheng Jiawei had met him several times and mentioned that he wanted to meet Eaves Wu. Therefore, Zheng Jiawei asked him again as usual.
"Not interested," replied Wuhai lazily. One could not tell that he was valiant and heroic at the dining table at all.
"Got it." Zheng Jiawei nodded and did not persuade him any further.
"Brother Jiawei, don't worry. Leave Meaty Feifei and Eaves Wu to me. I have been learning for a few days. It will definitely be fine," said Zhou Xi.
"Then I will leave them to you," Zheng Jiawei calculated the time and realized that he probably would not be able to make it back in time for noon.
One hundred servings of breakfast were prepared step by step. After sending off the customers, Yuan Zhou quickly went upstairs to wash up and prepared to go out.
"The time is just right. The old granny should be at home?" muttered Yuan Zhou.
During breakfast, Yuan Zhou paid special attention to the breakfast stall at the entrance. The old granny's nephew was indeed there.
Of course, even if he didn't pay special attention, Yuan Zhou also knew it. The old granny's nephew continued the old granny's habit of helping Yuan Zhou clean the entrance early in the morning.
The young and strong man did things much more neatly than the old granny. If Yuan Zhou hadn't observed it for several times, he wouldn't have noticed it. Although Yuan Zhou was used to cleaning the entrance, there was always some rubbish on the street.
"These rice cakes should suit the old granny's taste," Yuan Zhou picked out the white and plump rice cakes from the steamer and put them into a special food box.
Considering that the old granny was old and couldn't eat glutinous rice anymore, Yuan Zhou specially selected the rice cakes. The rice cakes were soft and glutinous, which was very suitable for the old granny's appetite.
This kind of rice cake belonged to Jiangsu Cuisine, which was different from the Hair Cake in Sichuan Cuisine.
Carrying the prepared gifts, Yuan Zhou went out. Su Ruoyan volunteered to watch over him. During the Chinese New Year, people were not only busy with work but also busy with petty thieves. Although the atmosphere in Taocao Road was good, Su Ruoyan still felt it necessary to pay attention to it.
