Yuan Zhou once had a conversation with Dashi Xiujie, which was later recorded by Dashi Xiujie and became the cover of Great Master Quotations 2.
Dashi Xiujie asked Yuan Zhou what was the reason for a chef to cook.
Yuan Zhou answered, "On the basis of filling up the stomach, it can make people happy."
A famous chef once said that delicious food brought happiness to people. This was a little exaggerated, but eating delicious food was definitely a pleasure.
This had always been the goal of The Kitchen God, and it had indeed made many diners happy. Even if they were not diners, their lives had changed positively because of him.
Hearing Xiaowang's concern, Grandpa Cai replied, "Don't worry. Boss Yuan always calls a car to send me back. It's very safe. Young people nowadays are really wasteful. By the way, he also gave me an ultraviolet money detector lamp. It's very useful and of good quality. I've been using it for two or three years."
Grandpa Cai smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face were all stretched out. It was obvious how happy he was. There was a detail to mention. The ultraviolet lamp was originally hung with the keys, but Grandpa Cai thought that the keys would rub against the lamp, so he put it together with the money bag.
Xiaowang somehow felt a sense of flaunting. He scratched his head and said helplessly, "It's good that it's safe. Grandpa Cai, you should go now. The car should be here soon."
"Yes, it should be soon. Then I'll go first, Wang." Grandpa Cai waved with one hand and directly walked forward with the basket on his shoulder.
From Hongwu Village to the city, one could take a bus directly from the village road. The traffic was quite convenient and it would take one to two hours.
Grandpa Cai was already very used to this road. He used to take it when he was selling mulberries from dawn to dusk.
"Beep, beep, beep."
A bus came slowly from afar. After Grandpa Cai got on the bus, he put the basket in the spacious place in the middle of the bus. Then he sat beside the basket and looked at it in case it got in the way.
The bus staggered toward the city. There were not many bus stops, and there was only one bus stop far away. But it was already much more convenient than before.
Grandpa Cai closed his eyes comfortably and rested on the chair. He had been busy in the orchard for most of the day, and now he could finally rest. He was not as energetic as when he was young.
Swish! Swish!
The blade in Yuan Zhou's hand flickered, and it was especially eye-catching under the golden sunlight. In the eyes of Markle, who had wanted to queue up early, it was like magic.
"Head Chef Yuan's knife skills are even more shocking than watching the video. I thought the video recording was a little distorted. This is simply the hands of God!" Mark couldn't control his heartbeat.
After lunch, he received the video of the competition sent by Alexandra. He spent some time watching the video of Yuan Zhou's competition and then came to Taoxi Road early.
He could not calm down for a long time. If he did not know that Alexandra would not joke around, he would have thought that the video that she had sent him had been edited and that only God could have done it.
After Mark finished reading it, he was in a daze for a while. He was eager to go to the Kitchen God to take a look, but who knew that he would run into Yuan Zhou practicing his knife skills. Well, now he was even more excited.
He couldn't understand it in the video, and he couldn't see it in person.
Many of the videos of Yuan Zhou practicing his knife skills were always played in slow motion. Otherwise, it would be as if he had not seen it at all, and it would be over in a flash. What else was there to watch?
"I must be apprenticed to Head Chef Yuan. It would be a pity if I can't be apprenticed to such an awesome head chef. But I wonder when Head Chef Yuan will serve French and Spanish dishes. I'm so looking forward to it." Mark was in a state of madness.
Except for Zhao Lunze who was very excited, he was the only one at the scene.
Time passed by minute by minute and soon, it came to an end. Yuan Zhou slightly bent his right hand and drew a perfect arc in the air before putting the carved water lotus on the shelf at the side and starting to clean up.
After the knife skills practice, Zhao Lunze came to help him. He was a skilled worker and cooperated well with Yuan Zhou. It didn't take him long to clean up.
"Boss Yuan, I'll take these for preservation." Zhao Lunze pointed at several carvings on the shelf at the side and said.
He couldn't take all of them away. He had to leave some for the children on Taoxi Road. Zhao Lunze knew the usual practice, so he only took a few.
Yuan Zhou nodded and agreed directly.
Then, he turned around and went back to the restaurant, intending to refill some water for Romeo and the others. This was a habit that Yuan Zhou had developed after the weather became hot.
Originally, the three puppies and Rice wouldn't waste much water. Usually, they only needed to refill the water for dinner.
However, ever since Romeo came, Yuan Zhou specially prepared a big basin for it to drink water in. Once, he found that Romeo liked to stand in the basin to drink water. If the basin wasn't big enough, it would easily overturn.
"Splash"
After pouring away the old water and refilling it with fresh water, Romeo was extremely happy. It barked "Woof, Woof" to express its joy.
Suddenly, Romeo's barking turned into "Woof, woof" and became a little ferocious. Rice at the side stood up and barked at Romeo a few times. Then, Romeo stopped barking.
At this time, Yuan Zhou heard footsteps coming from the entrance of the alley. Soon, a figure carrying a wicker basket appeared.
He was wearing a white undershirt, green pants, a straw hat, and carrying a wicker basket. It was the uncle who had been delivering mulberries to Yuan Zhou.
"Grandpa Cai, didn't you just come to deliver the mulberries a while ago? What happened?" Yuan Zhou asked as he took two steps forward.
It wasn't that Yuan Zhou asked on purpose, but Uncle Cai had always felt that Yuan Zhou had done him a great favor by buying so many mulberries from him. Usually, Yuan Zhou wouldn't bother him. Even if he wanted to help, he had to come secretly.
Now that he had delivered mulberries once, Yuan Zhou was afraid that Uncle Cai had something important to say. So, he asked first.
"Hahaha, it's nothing. Boss Yuan, I have something good to show you. I hope I didn't disturb your business?" Uncle Cai said with a smile.
"No, it's my break time. You came at the right time." Yuan Zhou heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that nothing was wrong.
As Uncle Cai spoke, he put down the wicker basket and removed the white gauze covering it, revealing the neatly stacked emerald green mulberry leaves.
It was the time when the mulberry leaves were fully grown. They were in between the old leaves and the new leaves, and the color was just right. Moreover, the mulberries had just finished bearing the last batch of fruits. When Uncle Cai heard that the mulberry leaves were good, he immediately plucked half a basket and gave it to Yuan Zhou.
"Are these mulberry leaves?" Yuan Zhou looked at them. They were full of color and the leaves were complete. One look and he could tell that they had been carefully selected.
"Yeah. I heard that mulberry leaves can cure a lot of diseases. Besides, they can also be put in food. Little Boss Yuan, you run a restaurant, right? I thought you would probably be able to use it. Therefore, I plucked some," Grandpa Cai said, feeling a little embarrassed.
Giving some leaves to someone else was a little embarrassing, so he naturally felt embarrassed.
However, he had heard from the expert who looked at the fruit trees in his orchard that the mulberry leaves could be used. He remembered the uses of the mulberry leaves and wanted to give them to Yuan Zhou. That was why he carried a big basket and sat in the car for so long.
