Mu Xiaoyun's thought was quite simple. As long as her parents could have a meal together, they could talk about anything, couldn't they?
"Dong Dong Dong", Mu Xiaoyun went downstairs quickly and happened to meet her brother Mu Xiaojie at the corner.
"Why are you running so fast?" Mu Xiaojie caught Xiaoyun.
"Brother, I have something to talk to dad about." Xiaoyun drew down her brother's hand and said with a pout.
"Little girl, what's the matter?" Mu Xiaojie reached out his hand and grabbed Mu Xiaoyun's ponytail again smilingly.
"Don't make trouble. Don't you want to go to the boss's restaurant to have a meal? Let's go there tomorrow. I'm going to discuss with dad." Mu Xiaoyun rolled her big eyes and straightforwardly said something that Mu Xiaojie was interested in.
"Ok. I will go with you." Once Mu Xiaojie heard there was delicious food, he pulled Mu Xiaoyun downstairs quickly.
Mu Xiaoyun looked at her brother and thought her brother might be able to help later. Therefore, she didn't object and was dragged to the living room on the first floor obediently. However, there was nobody in the living room.
"Dad, where are you?" Mu Xiaojie shouted loudly as soon as he went downstairs.
"What are you shouting for? It's late at night. Don't make noise." A man dressed in a handmade casual suit with his hair combed impeccably and a pair of rimless glasses came in from the courtyard and said with a mild but stern voice.
"I have something to talk about. Dad, let's go to the boss's restaurant to have a meal tomorrow. The dishes there are so delicious. I have long wanted to go there." Mu Xiaojie was a man who couldn't stay idle. Once he opened his mouth, he said a lot of things.
"I ask you to tell me one thing after another every time. Why are you still so impatient?" The man didn't listen to Mu Xiaojie's chatter. He just sat down by himself. Of course, his back was still very straight.
"Dad!" Before Mu Xiaojie said anything, Mu Xiaoyun pulled the corner of his clothes lightly.
"What's the matter?" Mu Xiaojie turned his head and said with puzzlement.
"Let me talk to dad." Mu Xiaoyun said softly.
Their father, however, just sat on the sofa motionlessly.
"Ok. You talk to him." Mu Xiaojie shrugged his shoulders. Although he was not afraid of his father, he could not stand his father's gentle way of speaking.
"Dad, I'm going back to Mom's place. School is about to start soon. Can we have dinner together?" Mu Xiaoyun was much more polite when talking to her father. She didn't act like a spoiled child when talking to her mother.
The man's sharp eyes fixed on Mu Xiaoyun. After a while, he nodded in agreement. "Sure. What time tomorrow night?"
"At five o 'clock, Mom will come too." Mu Xiaoyun added in a low voice.
"Okay, I got it." The man nodded, indicating that he already knew. He looked at his daughter, who was already a little girl, and also had her own thoughts.
As a father, although he could see through it at a glance, this was his daughter's wish. Eating a meal was nothing.
"Then, dad, I'm going upstairs to rest." Mu Xiaoyun happily pulled her brother and ran upstairs with a sound of "Dong Dong Dong".
Her brother was a great killing machine. Who knew what would happen if he stayed down there?
After they went upstairs, the two siblings played for a while and then went back to their respective rooms to sleep.
The elder brother, Mu Xiaojie, was more looking forward to the big meal tomorrow night, while the younger sister, Mu Xiaoyun, was looking forward to the fact that her boss's culinary skills could conquer her parents. Her wish was successful. Therefore, both of them slept soundly.
Although Yuan Zhou wasn't entrusted by others, he still prepared all the dishes on the price list dutifully. He was busy until the early morning before going to rest. Then he got up early in the morning to jog and prepare breakfast.
Mu Xiaoyun was very happy today. She was smiling happily in the morning. At noon, as the dinner time was getting closer and closer, she looked happier and happier. She kept giggling.
As usual, there was a long line outside the door at noon. Everyone was waiting for lunch. Due to the hot weather, they all looked forward to their turn soon.
The temperature in Yuanzhou Shop was just right. It was unknown how Boss Yuan turned on the air conditioner. Anyway, it was quite cool and comfortable. No matter how long they stayed there, they wouldn't feel dry.
In just a little while, however, there were some whispers in the crowd.
"Look ahead. It's almost to the door." A customer wearing a sunhat suddenly touched the arm of the person behind him.
"What's wrong?" A customer wearing a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his arms was a little bored. Hearing that, he really looked forward but didn't find anything special.
"That old man wearing a white and worn-out vest and the grey business pants." The customer wearing the sunhat signaled him with his eyes.
The customer in the white shirt looked carefully and found the hair on the head of the old man was very little. With his back facing the customers, he was wearing a white and worn-out vest, which was loose and worn-out. The grey business pants were also dim in color. He didn't look like a person who could afford to eat.
But so what? The customer in the white shirt looked at the sunhat and expressed his puzzlement well.
"This person comes here once every other week. Every time, he lines up obediently. When it's his turn, he doesn't eat anything but just stands at the side quietly. After five minutes, he goes out by himself and doesn't disturb anyone. "The man wearing the sunhat said in detail.
"Then why does he go inside?" The customer in the white shirt asked curiously.
"Then nobody knows." At that time, the customer in the front also joined the discussion.
"I think he probably wants to have a look. Maybe he wants to steal our skills?" That was the result of the imagination of the customer behind him.
"Of course not. Mu Xiaoyun has already asked him. That person didn't say anything but just smiled. I don't know what he wants to do." The man wearing the sunhat shook his head and denied the conjecture that he wanted to steal our skills.
He was so far away and couldn't see what small seasonings Yuan Zhou had added. Besides, he had never eaten it before. How could he know the taste?
"Then what does he want to do? If he just wants to have a look, he can go inside directly. He doesn't need to line up specially." The man in the white shirt said that.
"That's why I said it's strange." The customer in the front interrupted.
Just when these people were discussing in full swing, it happened to be the turn of the person they were talking about.
As usual, as soon as he entered the restaurant, he found a corner and stood there quietly. He didn't say anything but lowered his eyes and didn't look at anyone. He just stood there like that. Mu Xiaoyun was used to it and didn't go to ask him.
Of course, it was Yuan Zhou who said that and there was no need to ask him. After all, even the approach of Mu Xiaoyun made this strange person quite nervous.
Other customers who came into the restaurant together looked at him strangely at first. When they found he didn't eat, another person took his place. Therefore, it was meaningless for this person to wait in line.
The old man stood in the corner quietly. Sometimes, he looked at the sergestes earnestly and sometimes, he looked at Yuan Zhou's natural and smooth culinary skills. He also wouldn't look at the customers who were eating. It seemed that he didn't want to satisfy his eyes but to eat the dishes.
Once the five minutes were up, the person walked out of Yuanzhou Shop slowly with a hunched back. Maybe the next time he came here would be another week later.
