Yuan Zhou did not hear their discussion. Instead, he quickly returned to the kitchen. It was almost lunchtime, and people came in an endless stream. Suddenly, more than 20 people gathered in the restaurant. Basically, half of them were planning to cook by themselves, and the other half were planning to ask Old Wang to help them cook.
Yuan Zhou was still very busy. Of course, compared to when he was in The Kitchen God, he was definitely much more relaxed. At least he could observe the people who came to the restaurant in between his busy work.
There were all kinds of people, and they all came and went in a hurry. Some of them looked sick, and some were depressed.
Very soon, an hour had passed. Except for those who cooked by themselves, the others had finished their work.
The restaurant known as the Life Kitchen was different from ordinary restaurants. It was usually busy between 11 am and 1 am, and the later it was, the less people there were. So, Yuan Zhou was finally free at this time.
"Yuan, do you want to eat here or go back?" Auntie Wu asked.
"I still have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't try Uncle Wang's cooking this time. I will eat at night," Yuan Zhou thought for a while and said.
He had to visit Master Ge in the afternoon, so he had to prepare. Yuan Zhou planned to fill his stomach casually and not waste time.
"Then, be careful on the way back," Auntie Wu said.
"Yuan can come at 5 pm, no need to be too early," Old Wang added.
After Yuan Zhou agreed, he walked out of the Life Kitchen. First, he took out his phone, plugged in his earphones, found the audio, and pressed the play button. His ears were immediately filled with Yin Ya's voice. "Go straight for 200 meters, then turn left …"
When he just came from the hotel, Yuan Zhou found the Life Kitchen precisely like this. It was all Yin Ya's credit.
She specially recorded a walking route from the hotel to the Life Kitchen. After Yin Ya found someone to test it, she gave it to Yuan Zhou after confirming that it could accurately find the destination.
Otherwise, it would definitely be an illusion for Yuan Zhou to find the place by himself or by walking. He would still have no sense of direction no matter where he went.
With his fiancée's guidebook, it was a different story. Especially since it was customized according to Yuan Zhou's habits, he didn't need to spend any effort to find the right way.
It seems that I still know the way. I must have been led by Wuhai in the past. Next time I go out with Wuhai, I will lead the way myself. Yuan Zhou felt that he could not let Wuhai lead the way in the future.
Although he said he would eat something casually, he really did it casually. Not far from the hotel, he saw a small stall selling white sugar cakes with a cart and directly bought some white sugar cakes for lunch.
The white sugar cake was one of the five famous snacks in Gan Province. Its taste was different from the white sugar cake in Guangdong Province. It was fragrant and soft. Furthermore, it was wrapped in the frozen rice noodles that were unique to Gan Province. When eaten, it had a unique flavor.
The taste is not bad. The proportion of sugar is quite appropriate. However, the rice noodles are too much, which affects the original taste. Yuan Zhou commented in his heart while eating. After all, he didn't say it out loud. After all, it would be like making a scene.
By the time he returned to the hotel, he had also finished his lunch. Then, he changed into a clean short-sleeved shirt and a pair of western trousers, which made him look more formal. Then, he took out the three tightly wrapped packages from his suitcase and put them into a bag, preparing to set off.
Although the appointment was at three o 'clock, Yuan Zhou felt that as a junior, he should arrive early to show respect to the elders.
This time, Yuan Zhou definitely wouldn't walk. Thus, he directly called a taxi and didn't need Yin Ya to prepare the route for him. It was very convenient.
The place to meet was Master Ju's place. Master Ju's place was not remote. It was not far from the largest bowl in Jingde Town. Moreover, he needed to pass by the bowl to reach Master Ju's place.
"This bowl is really big." Looking from afar, Yuan Zhou could see the upper part of the bowl.
It was indeed huge. No wonder it was known as the largest bowl in the world. The title of "Mother of All Porcelain" was not just for show. Even Yuan Zhou felt that the name of Jingde Town, the Capital of Porcelain, was not in vain.
When the driver passed by the bowl, he couldn't help but introduce it to Yuan Zhou. He sounded very proud. Obviously, the driver valued the bowl very much.
Master Ju's place was not far from Yuan Zhou's hotel. It only took him half an hour to get there. It was indeed the place of a porcelain master. Even the walls outside were different from those of ordinary people.
The walls were made of broken porcelain pieces mixed with mud. Blue, black, red, and white porcelain pieces were inlaid on the surface of the walls. The whole place exuded an overbearing aura that said, "Don't touch me."
"Dong, dong, dong."
Yuan Zhou bent his knuckles and knocked on the vermilion door. Not long after that, he heard a series of hurried footsteps from inside. Then, the door was opened with a squeak. It was a young man in his twenties who looked quite spirited.
"Are you Master Yuan?" the young man asked.
"I'm Yuan Zhou," Yuan Zhou said.
"Ah, nice to meet you, Master Yuan. Master Ge and Master Ju are right in front. Please come in, Master Yuan." The young man opened the door and welcomed Yuan Zhou inside.
After passing through a winding and secluded path, Yuan Zhou followed the young man to a pavilion. Different from the pavilions in the south of the Yangtze River, this pavilion of Master Ju's fully reflected his status. The pillars were all pasted with porcelain pieces. Even the glazed tiles on the pillars appeared to be unusual.
When Yuan Zhou arrived at the pavilion, he saw two old men waiting there. Their styles were completely different.
One of them was dressed in plain clothes. His hair was gray and his face was wrinkled. He was thin and tall. He did not look like a master. Instead, he looked like an old farmer in the countryside.
The other one was dressed in a short-sleeved Tang suit. His face was ruddy, and he was slightly overweight. He looked like a rich man who lived like a prince. He did not look like a master.
"Hello, Master Ju, Master Ge. Nice to meet you." Yuan Zhou knew them.
He had not seen them in person, but he had seen their pictures. The one who looked like a farmer was Master Ge, and the one who looked like a rich man was Master Ju.
"Master Yuan, it's an honor to meet you," Master Ju said with a smile.
Not only did Master Ge look serious, but he also did things seriously. He nodded at Yuan Zhou as a greeting. He seemed to be a man of few words.
"Come here. I have some tea leaves. Master Yuan, you can come and have a taste," Master Ju said. "Thank you.
I have brought some gifts with me. They will go well with the tea, "Yuan Zhou said.
After following the two masters into the pavilion, Yuan Zhou slowly opened the gifts he had brought with him.
The young man who had led the way had already left. He did not want to disturb the conversation between the three masters.
"This is the Southern Sour Jujube Cake for Master Ju. Master Ju, you can try it and see if it's different from the local ones in Gan Province." Then, he handed a wooden box to Master Ju with both hands.
Then, he picked up another wooden box and handed it to Master Ge. "These are some flower cakes for Master Ju. I made them myself. I hope you like them."
The two boxes were the same size and material. The only difference was the patterns on them. One was a blooming flower, while the other was a fruit-bearing tree. They matched the contents of the boxes.
