"How about it? Which two dishes do you want to eat today?" Huang Fei looked much better than the time when Yuan Zhou first saw him. At least, he didn't look like he was emaciated anymore.
He and Liu Li opened the restaurant in Chengdu to get closer to their idol. They wanted to learn from their idol and improve their culinary skills. They didn't want to disturb Yuan Zhou too often.
The two of them also agreed to come to The Kitchen God for a meal once a week. They would only order Jiangsu cuisine. The quantity wasn't too much, just two dishes each. That would make four dishes for each of them. After finishing the meal, they could order another round of dishes. In this way, they wouldn't be dazzled and might be able to comprehend something.
Liu Li and Huang Fei thought for a long time and chose Monday as the day for their training. It was the beginning of the week.
"I will still order the same two dishes as last week. Meatballs in Clear Broth and Shredded Dried Chicken Soup are done. I feel like I can feel something now. I want to try again this time." Liu Li wanted to touch his stomach out of habit, but he couldn't find it.
His stomach was so deflated that there wasn't even any fat in it. Liu Li felt that he was a disgrace to his profession as a chef.
"That's great. I also feel that the Jin 'ling meatballs and white gravy dumpling last week have made some progress. I want to study them again this time." Huang Fei clapped his hands and said.
"That's great. Same rules," Liu Li said.
After that, the two of them started to talk about other things. Basically, it was about culinary skills. Then, they quietly waited in line for their meals.
Yuan Zhou knew what Huang Fei and Huang Fei were doing. Before they did this, they had come to visit Yuan Zhou to get his approval.
As long as they came, they were customers. To Yuan Zhou, no matter what their purpose was, they were just customers. To put it simply, he would do his best to cook delicacies for each and every customer.
When lunchtime started, Yuan Zhou saw Huang Fei and Huang Fei walking in. He knew that today was definitely Monday. He nodded to them and started to get busy.
As for Wu Hai, he was a beast that was addicted to food, especially a beast that had been starved for three days. No one could afford to offend him. Breakfast was just to fill the gaps between his teeth. The main point was still lunch.
"Little Yan, order the dishes. Today, I want to eat Yellow Mud Stewed Chicken, Jinling Salted Duck, Jade Luo Shrimp, Honey Sauce, Ten Thousand Trotters, Fried Eel Paste … That's all. I'll eat first and we'll talk after." Wu Hai ordered more than 30 dishes in one go.
Su Ruoyan was already used to Wuhai's way of doing things. Even the surrounding diners were already used to it. When they heard Wuhai's order, their appetites were especially aroused.
"Okay, I've already written it down. Please wait a moment." Su Ruoyan wrote down the list and handed it to Yuan Zhou. Then, she began to take orders for other customers.
After Wuhai ordered the dishes, he laid his head on the table, waiting to eat. However, it was rare that Zhou Xi wasn't with Wuhai today.
Even Yuan Zhou took a look before cooking to make sure that Zhou Xi wasn't there.
"There's an art exhibition in Italy that I have to attend. I was busy so I didn't go. Jiawei and Zhou Xi went there together." Wuhai was quite sensitive to Yuan Zhou's gaze. He straightforwardly and weakly said.
"He's probably too hungry to go out?" Yuan Zhou knew what was going on. Nevertheless, he nodded his head and walked into the kitchen, intending to cook.
Otherwise, he was afraid that Wuhai would gnaw the table in his restaurant when he was hungry.
The lively lunchtime then began. The diners became active in The Kitchen God again. They ordered the dishes and then made way for other customers. Occasionally, they gossiped. The atmosphere during the meal was quite intense.
"Boss, I'm leaving now." Su Ruoyan confirmed repeatedly that she had finished her work and then said goodbye to Yuan Zhou.
"Be careful on the way," Yuan Zhou said.
"Don't worry, boss. Bye." Su Ruoyan waved her hand and left.
After watching Su Ruoyan's back disappear at the corner of the street, Yuan Zhou began to move the sculpting tools outside again. He planned to practice his knife skills in the afternoon.
After the Chinese New Year, there was the Cake House, The Kitchen God Sports Meet, and the Silver Spoon Club. It could be said that Yuan Zhou had accomplished three major events within two months.
"I wasn't even this busy last year." Yuan Zhou muttered.
Fortunately, there were no major events in the following week. Yuan Zhou's life became regular again.
One week later.
It was another sunny day, which was convenient for him to sleep in. The sun wasn't so bright in the afternoon in Chengdu. Occasionally, it would hide behind the clouds.
Yuan Zhou could be seen picking up the knife and intending to sculpt a Fulu Shouxi. There were few people on the street at that time.
"Deng Deng Deng"
It was the unique footsteps of a child. Hearing it getting closer and closer, Yuan Zhou stopped and raised his head, only to see a small cannonball rushing in front of him.
"Wu Wu Wu"
The boy was three heads tall, and his chubby face was flushed due to the strenuous exercise. He opened his mouth and was trying hard to breathe, panting.
Yuan Zhou recognized him. This boy was probably the child who praised him a week ago. He remembered the people who evaluated him very clearly, regardless of their age.
He was with his father previously. Why did he suddenly appear alone?
Was he lost? While Yuan Zhou was thinking.
Lele finally caught her breath and said, "Uncle, uncle, are you that Uncle Yuan?"
"Which Uncle Yuan are you talking about?" Yuan Zhou asked softly.
"The most powerful Uncle Yuan on this street." Lele said with certainty.
"If it's this street, then it might be me. Only my surname is Yuan." Yuan Zhou thought for a while and said.
"That's great, Uncle Yuan. My father said that you are a very powerful person and can do things that many people can't. Then can I ask you to do me a favor? I can pay you." Lele clenched his chubby little hand tightly and looked at Yuan Zhou nervously.
His eyes were sparkling. Obviously, he had great hopes for Yuan Zhou.
Although Lele was young, he clearly remembered his father's evaluation of Yuan Zhou.
"Not everything can be done. Can you tell me what it is first?" Yuan Zhou said patiently.
"It's like this. My mother went to a very far place. My father said that there is no telephone or internet in that place, so I can't call my mother. But I haven't seen my mother for ten days. I've been thinking about it. Can Uncle Yuan help me tell my mother that I miss her very much?" As Lele spoke, his round eyes were glistening with tears.
When Yuan Zhou heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He felt that it was not a good idea. He looked at Lele who was wearing white children's clothing and said gently, "Then did your father tell your mother when she will come back?"
"Dad said that it will take a long time for my mother to come back because she is very busy on a business trip. But I want my mother to come back soon. Lele can't sleep well without my mother telling me stories at night. Uncle Yuan, can you help my mother to come back earlier?" Lele stretched his hand and gestured at a particularly long distance while looking at Yuan Zhou with anticipation.
Yuan Zhou pursed his lips and was a little overwhelmed. To be honest, this was the first time he encountered such a situation. Even if he was very good at cooking, there was no way. Because of the situation that Lele said, if he didn't guess wrong, it would be difficult for his mother to come back.
