The early orioles were fighting for the warm trees, while the new swallows were pecking the spring mud.
The weather was getting warmer. Some people had taken off their heavy winter clothes and started to change into some light spring clothes. Even the birds were no longer lazy in the winter. They stood on the branches and sang under the sparse sunshine, as if they were telling the good news for the black beasts in spring.
As the head of the Chefs Sports Association, Wang Jike organized an outing for chefs. They went to the wild to pick wild vegetables and then cook them by themselves.
It was quite an interesting activity. Wang Jike also invited Yuan Zhou, but Yuan Zhou refused after checking the rules.
Yuan Zhou wanted to join in the fun, but the outing lasted for five days … Wouldn't it be better to practice cooking at home and open a restaurant? Why did he have to run around blindly?
"Besides, the wild vegetables provided by the system are all grown naturally. Besides, the geographical environment is specially selected. The wild vegetables are plump and tender. After eating them once, I want to eat them again." Yuan Zhou muttered to himself.
The system displayed, "Yes. Thank you for your compliment, host."
It really came out to claim the credit.
"The shepherd's purse wonton is indeed delicious. It has a hint of fresh game flavor. It's the best." Yuan Zhou swallowed a small shepherd's purse wonton again.
After he refused Wang Jike's invitation this morning, he wanted to eat shepherd's purse wonton. Therefore, he didn't eat the noodles. Instead, he asked the system for the shepherd's purse after he came back from jogging and cooked the wonton himself.
He didn't disappoint his expectation. The taste was fresh and tasty, leaving a lingering fragrance in his mouth.
Not afraid of the heat, Yuan Zhou ate one wonton at a time. Soon, he ate 30 wontons.
"Spring is here. It's quite good to taste the taste of spring together." Yuan Zhou looked at the fresh shepherd's purse.
Yuan Zhou had his reasons to think so. As the saying goes, "The peach and plum in the city worry about the wind and rain, while the shepherd's purse blossoms at the head of the stream." The shepherd's purse was the first to perceive the arrival of spring.
Although he said so, Yuan Zhou didn't prepare to eat shepherd's purse wonton for breakfast today. Instead, he prepared the clear broth noodle soup and cooked the shepherd's purse wonton in the evening.
Before breakfast, he saw Wuhai.
"Are Jiawei and Zhou Xi back?" Yuan Zhou asked.
In Zhou Xi's memory, the two of them had been out for several days and he hadn't seen them yet. Logically speaking, as long as Zhou Xi came back, Wuhai's follower would officially come online.
"He said he would arrive at noon. It should be soon." Wuhai ordered breakfast before arriving.
"Let's call them together tonight," Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.
"Alright, no problem." Wuhai's eyes lit up. Knowing that there was extra good stuff to eat, he immediately became a hundred times more spirited. This was even more effective than eating immortal pills.
An hour of breakfast passed quickly. It was rare for Queen Jiang to come for breakfast today, so Yuan Zhou informed her.
"Boss Yuan, are you free today?" the noodle shop owner asked after breakfast.
"Nothing," Yuan Zhou replied.
"That's good. I saw that you didn't come to eat noodles this morning, so I asked," the noodle shop owner scratched his head, feeling embarrassed for disturbing Yuan Zhou. "Sorry to disturb you, Boss Yuan."
"No, you're just concerned about me," Yuan Zhou said, "If I don't come to eat noodles next time, I'll let you know."
"Ah, you don't have to be so serious. Boss Yuan, you have a lot of things to do every day and you're busy," the noodle shop owner said.
"It won't take up too much time," Yuan Zhou said.
Seeing that Yuan Zhou insisted, the noodle shop owner couldn't say anything else.
Yuan Zhou felt that he had to treat others' concern seriously.
In the morning, Yuan Zhou first called Yin Ya and told her about the celebration in the evening.
"Blockhead, this is good. It's fun to have everyone together. Is there anything I can help with?" Yin Ya asked.
She always hoped that Yuan Zhou could relax more and not have to cook or practice cooking every day without rest.
"No, you can just come over when the time comes," Yuan Zhou said.
"That's good. I happen to need to do one more document today. It'll be about seven or eight o 'clock when I get off work. It should be just in time to come over." Yin Ya calculated and didn't insist.
"Don't worry, there's enough time," Yuan Zhou comforted her.
Yin Ya said a few more words on the other side of the phone before hanging up.
When it came to cooking, with Yuan Zhou around, it was not her turn to show off her skills.
Usually, Yin Ya would also make some snacks for Yuan Zhou. It was a bit of fun between a boyfriend and a girlfriend.
Thinking of the shredded apple she made for Yuan Zhou last time, Yin Ya had an impulse to cover her face. She didn't know if there was any shredded apple, but all the pieces of the apple that seemed to be wearing heavy armor were eaten by Yuan Zhou. She didn't even get to taste a single piece.
When she asked Yuan Zhou, he said it was delicious. However, Yin Ya couldn't deceive herself into thinking that it was really delicious.
Thinking of Yuan Zhou's enthusiasm for eating last time, Yin Ya couldn't help but reveal a smile. Then, she calmed herself down and focused on her work, trying to finish it as soon as possible and go to the restaurant to help.
After Yuan Zhou hung up the call with Yin Ya, he took out the radishes he bought previously and prepared to carve them. That's right, Yuan Zhou still had the habit of buying radishes from the market.
Ever since Yuan Zhou became more and more famous, the business of the stall where Yuan Zhou often bought radishes had become more prosperous.
"Dadada, Dadada, Dadada …"
A series of light and heavy footsteps approached. Yuan Zhou raised his head and saw the granny walking towards him step by step with a big basket on her shoulder.
Yuan Zhou immediately stood up and greeted, "Granny, why are you here?"
"Little Yuan, this morning, I went to the outskirts to dig wild vegetables with my old friend. We dug up quite a lot. Let me bring some for you to taste. It's really fragrant," the granny said with a smile. Apparently, she was in a good mood.
Yuan Zhou lowered his head and looked at the basket, which was full of wild vegetables. Most of them were the fat and tender green elm leaves, which were round and thick and looked fresh and juicy. Clusters of them were connected with short branches, which were indeed very fresh. There were also some shepherd's purse and dandelion in the basket, which were all neatly arranged.
With one look, he knew the granny must have picked the best vegetables at home and brought them here.
"It's indeed very fresh. Do you have any at home? You can't give them all to me." Yuan Zhou raised his hand and took the basket from the granny.
"Yes, I have. Don't think that these elm leaves are ordinary. When I was a child, I was so poor that I didn't have anything to eat. I relied on this to survive." Seeing Yuan Zhou accept it directly, the granny smiled happily.
"I have heard my parents mention it before, but I have never eaten it. The one you sent is just right." Yuan Zhou echoed.
"Hahaha. As long as you like it, Yuan. This elm tree is not young anymore. The leaves it bears are quite delicious. Only I know where it is." The granny moved closer and said mysteriously.
With a hint of naughtiness, she was indeed a little old. There was even a little pride on her face. It could be seen that the granny was really happy.
"Thank you, granny. I will send the basket to you in the afternoon. Are you at home?" Yuan Zhou thought for a while and asked.
"Yes, I am. But I can take the basket when I'm free. You don't have to send it to me since you are so busy." The granny waved her hand and said.
"Don't worry. It's just a few steps away. Don't worry," Yuan Zhou said.
The granny looked at the tools placed not far away. Knowing that Yuan Zhou was busy, she didn't want to disturb him. After saying a few words, she directly left.
