"Feixiong, why isn't Compass back yet?" Wuhai stood by the window and looked at the restaurant.
Occasionally, he would walk around the restaurant. Fortunately, the window was wide enough. Otherwise, Wuhai wouldn't be able to see the situation on the other side of the restaurant with just a few steps.
Since morning, Wuhai had been walking around the window from time to time, especially when the sky was getting dark. He was definitely worried about Yuan Zhou's safety, and not because he failed to exchange for the remaining dried meat with Rice and the others for the fifth time today.
"Boss Yuan said he would take five days off, so he will definitely take five days off. He will definitely not exceed it. He will definitely open tomorrow. Boss Yuan always follows the rules," Mao Xiong comforted him with a gentle tone.
"But it's already 10 pm now, and the lights on the other side of the restaurant are still not on." Wuhai understood the reason, but he still felt that his heart was empty when the lights on the other side of the restaurant were not on.
"It should be soon," Mao Xiong was as calm as ever.
Maybe he felt that Mao Xiong's words made sense, or maybe he was attracted by the salted duck eggs specially made by Yuan Zhou that Mao Xiong brought over. At least, Wuhai temporarily returned from the window and started to eat the salted duck eggs.
This time, not only did Yuan Zhou not tell Wuhai the exact time, he also did not tell Yin Ya the exact time. Of course, it was also because Yin Ya had gone on a business trip and was not in Chengdu.
Otherwise, Yuan Zhou would not have kept it a secret. He was afraid that Yin Ya would already be waiting at the airport.
Ever since Yin Ya made up her mind to achieve something, she became busier and busier. Especially after her promotion, she had to go on business trips from time to time. However, as time passed, Yin Ya became more and more experienced. The things she could do for Yuan Zhou also gradually increased, and she had achieved her initial goal.
The plane landed smoothly at the airport of Shuangliu. After taking his luggage, Yuan Zhou got into the car he had booked and headed straight for the restaurant.
After successfully returning to the restaurant, Yuan Zhou took care of Rice and her two children whom he hadn't seen for a few days and listened to their complaints against Wuhai, Yuan Zhou washed up and planned to go to bed early. He would open the restaurant the next day, so he went to bed much earlier than usual.
When Wuhai stood at the window again to be the Window God, all he saw was still a pitch-black window, perfectly missing the time when Yuan Zhou would return.
"Jijijijijijijiu!"
Due to the fact that it was always raining at night in Chengdu, there were more sounds of insects chirping at night, making the night seem more tranquil.
When the first ray of golden sunlight shone on the earth, it was already dawn.
His biological clock urged Yuan Zhou to wake up. Following his usual pace, Yuan Zhou washed up, changed his clothes, and went out for a jog. Amidst the greetings of the familiar neighbors, a new day began.
The foodies were definitely very enthusiastic about eating. Moreover, it was the first day of breakfast after taking leave. Therefore, the people queuing up were ten minutes earlier than usual. If it wasn't for Wuhai and Mao Xiong's nimbleness, the first place might have been snatched away by someone else.
Moreover, it was an old acquaintance, Chen Xing.
It seemed that Chen Xing wasn't only planning to compete with Wuhai and his friends in the Rice Bucket Competition, but he was also planning to compete with Wu Hai in the daily life.
Breakfast had yet to begin, but it was already very lively.
"Will Boss Yuan prepare several types of breakfast today? He has taken such a long leave."
"Actually, it's good enough to have one type of breakfast. I'm not picky. As long as I can eat Head Chef Yuan's breakfast every day, I'm fine with it."
"I haven't eaten Boss Yuan's breakfast for the past few days. My mouth feels tasteless. Not having a good breakfast, everything goes wrong for me."
The customers were busy complaining about the regret of not having eaten Yuan Zhou's cooking for the past few days. As for Yuan Zhou, he was busy preparing breakfast.
Yuan Zhou had always attached great importance to his first breakfast after taking leave. To be specific, he didn't even eat the instant noodles in the morning. Instead, he left his stomach for the breakfast he made himself.
Since he had already decided on what to make for breakfast last night, Yuan Zhou started busying himself the moment he entered the kitchen.
Today's breakfast preparation was rather complicated. Therefore, after cooking the rice, Yuan Zhou started kneading the dough.
"Pa Pa Pa"
After being kneaded, the dough became very chewy. Yuan Zhou touched the softness of the dough and felt that it was suitable. Then, he sprinkled some dry flour on the chopping board and kneaded the dough into long strips. Next, he cut the dough into small pieces and then combined the two pieces together. With one look, it was obvious that he was going to make Youtiao today.
As expected, after the dough was prepared, Yuan Zhou started to heat the oil pan and fry the Youtiao.
"It's so nice to have Youtiao to eat today." Wuhai sniffled and was quite happy.
Just thinking about it, he seemed to be able to hear the crispy sound of the Youtiao being chewed. It was probably because he hadn't eaten it for a few days and had no resistance to it. He almost drooled.
When Chen Xing, who was ranked third, saw Wuhai's actions and performance, he sniffled hard again. However, it still didn't work. He couldn't smell anything. If there was really a sweaty smell, did it count?
No matter how many times he saw it, Chen Xing simply couldn't understand how Wuhai did it.
"I'm still young. I can definitely surpass him." Chen Xing became more and more courageous.
While Chen Xing made up his mind and Wuhai swallowed his saliva silently, time passed quickly. Su Ruoyan's sentence, "Breakfast time. The first 18 customers, please come in for breakfast", was like the sound of nature.
For a moment, not only were Wuhai and his companions fast, but also the first echelon of customers behind them all displayed their unique skills and arrived at the battlefield as fast as they could.
"It's surprisingly the Fried Rice Ball today. I'm so looking forward to it." It was rare that Zuo Zuo came to have breakfast with Wei Wei today.
"Everything cooked by Boss Yuan must be delicious," Wei Wei said.
As for the second senior brother, he had already gone back. He would only come over when it was time to perform on the stage. He still had activities to attend in the capital. Of course, if he didn't leave at the golden time when Yuan Zhou asked for leave, Gao Hui might not have been able to leave so smoothly.
The main reason was that Gao Hui was too fond of the food cooked by Yuan Zhou. He had never eaten such delicious food before, so it was normal that he was reluctant to leave.
Everyone's eyes almost turned green when they saw the Fried Rice Ball with a section of golden Youtiao exposed on the plate. It was so fragrant.
The fragrance of the deep-fried Youtiao and the unique fragrance of the glutinous rice mixed together. In addition, there was a faint sweet smell, which made people feel that drooling was a very normal thing.
Someone picked it up carefully and took a bite of the exposed youtiao. The crispy taste immediately conquered the taste buds. It was different from the youtiao eaten with soybean milk. The youtiao wrapped in glutinous rice was a little older, but also a little crispier.
"Delicious, so delicious."
After the customer carefully swallowed a bite of the Youtiao, he opened his mouth to take a second bite. The time interval was extremely short. Obviously, if his mouth could fit, he would have stuffed the Youtiao into his mouth and eaten it together.
Compared to the other customers who were not very familiar with the Fried Rice Ball, Zuo Zuo ate it in a very standard way.
