After the old lady got the album, she wanted to touch it, but she seemed to have thought of something. She retracted her hand and carefully put the album away. After thanking Luo Xingyu, she turned around and left.
"It seems that the old lady really likes my songs. I have to work harder in the future so that I can't let my fans down." Luo Xingyu thought to himself.
Of course, although Luo Xingyu was thinking about it, he still knew what his most important task was, so he continued to sign autographs for his fans. He was going to have dinner with his senior sister and cousin today, so he had to finish the autographs as soon as possible.
It was said that people had to line up in advance in this restaurant. For the osmanthus cake, let's go!
After the old lady left the stadium with Luo Xingyu's autographs, she came to the bus stop. She was not familiar with the road here and her eyes were not very good, but she still tried to get closer to see the route name on the bus stop sign.
"Taoxi Road, Taoxi Road, which bus should I take?" The old lady murmured and tried to get closer to see the words clearly.
Unfortunately, her eyes were not good enough to see clearly. She could only wait for the next bus to come and ask the driver. If he didn't want to go there, she would get off.
During this period, the old lady opened her mouth several times, but she didn't ask the people next to her. Occasionally, some kind-hearted people asked her, but she just waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need to help. She just tightened the cloth bag with the album in her hand, as if she was afraid that it would be damaged.
Asking for directions took a lot of time. When the old lady arrived at Taoxi Road, it was already time for Yuan Zhou to prepare the ingredients for the dinner.
Touching the remaining steamed bun in the bag, the old lady thought for a while and murmured, "I'd better go back and eat it. I just ate two before, so I'm not very hungry now."
While saying that, she touched her belly and felt that it was really not very flat. Then she held the bag carefully and bypassed the intersection of Taoxi Road to the back street. Compared with the bustling main road in front, it was much quieter here. At least no one would pass by here for most of the time. Most of the people who passed by here were the aborigines of Taoxi Road, so they took the shortcut.
However, the old lady was obviously more familiar with this place than when she looked for the bus. Maybe she had explored the terrain in advance, because she was not a resident of Taoxi Road.
"Dadada Stomp"
The slightly heavy footsteps sounded in the quiet street, which attracted the attention of Rice and the others. When the granny approached the back door of Master Chef Restaurant, Rice and the other two had already stood up and were looking at the granny at the back door.
Obviously, the old grandma also saw it. She directly stood in front of Tang's spot. There used to be several garbage bins there. Since Taoxi Road built a centralized garbage disposal place, this place had been cleaned up and removed.
In Director Wang's words, "Leaving the trash there will definitely affect Boss Yuan's mood when he cooks. It must be disposed of."
Therefore, the place was very clean now. The eaves lamp at the back of the shop could illuminate the corner of the wall there, so it didn't seem dark.
The granny stood there motionlessly, as if she was waiting for something.
Rice and the rest observed the old lady for about ten minutes. Seeing that she didn't change her posture at all, it was as though she was certain that she wasn't dangerous. Then, she went back to her nest lazily.
As time passed by, the originally bright sky gradually darkened and night gradually descended. Although it was already close to the end of dinnertime, the store was still very lively.
The old lady had been standing there since the middle of the afternoon. Except for changing her feet and moving a little, she almost didn't move. Even her posture didn't change much. If it wasn't for the occasional movement of her eyes, people would almost think that she was a wax figure.
After the opening hours ended, Yuan Zhou came out with the dinner prepared for Mi Mi and the others before he prepared the food for the pub. He came to feed them at this time every day.
"Rice, noodles, rice soup. Time for dinner."
His voice came before he arrived.
With a sound of "Zhi Ga", the door was opened. Yuan Zhou's figure appeared and walked out very soon.
Yuan Zhou's five senses were very sharp. Therefore, he sensed someone's existence the moment he walked out. He raised his head and saw the old lady.
Her hunched figure was half hidden in the light. To be honest, if it wasn't for Yuan Zhou's courage, he would have been startled.
With a single glance, Yuan Zhou judged that the old lady should have stood there for a long time because her lips were so dry that they were peeling. Therefore, he knitted his brows and straightforwardly carried the dinner back to the restaurant.
The door of the restaurant was automatic. Therefore, as soon as Yuan Zhou went back, the door was directly closed with a "Pa" sound.
The old lady's eyes lit up when she saw Yuan Zhou come out and heard Yuan Zhou's voice. Just when she was about to walk over, she saw Yuan Zhou turn around and go back. Her bright eyes dimmed instantly.
The old lady moved her feet. She wanted to leave, but she didn't want to give up this opportunity. Just when she was hesitating, Yuan Zhou came back.
He walked to the old lady with a glass cup in his hand and handed it to her. "Old lady, please drink some water first."
It turned out that Yuan Zhou could tell that the old lady had something to do and hadn't drunk water for a long time. He was afraid that her body couldn't take it, so he quickly went back to the restaurant and poured a cup of warm water for her.
The old lady glanced at Yuan Zhou and took the water. She said gratefully, "Thank you."
"Gulp, gulp."
The old lady was probably very thirsty. She took the cup and drank it directly. In a short while, the cup of water was empty.
"Do you want more?" Yuan Zhou took the empty cup and asked.
"No need. Thank you, Boss Yuan," the old lady said in a hoarse voice.
"It's nothing. You're welcome. May I ask if you need me for something? Next time, you can come in from the front door. I don't come here often," Yuan Zhou said.
The old lady hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I just waited for a while. It didn't take long."
After hesitating for a while, she said to Yuan Zhou, "Boss Yuan, can you cook a serving of Egg Fried Rice for me? I want to bring it back for my daughter. I heard that Boss Yuan's Egg Fried Rice is the best in the world. My daughter's appetite has been very bad recently. She hasn't eaten anything for a long time."
When the old lady said that, she looked at Yuan Zhou with a pleading look. Obviously, she hoped that he could agree to help her.
In order to find delicious food, this wasn't the first time that the old lady wandered around Chengdu. However, most people said that the food cooked by Boss Yuan, the Kitchen God, was the best. She came here to observe secretly twice and found that there were always people waiting in line. Moreover, many of them were familiar faces. It was obvious that they were repeat customers. Therefore, she made up her mind to look for Yuan Zhou.
Of course, in order not to disturb Yuan Zhou's business, the old lady waited in the back alley that she found when she checked the terrain.
When Yuan Zhou heard the old lady's request, his first reaction was, "Why didn't my daughter come by herself? Why did she ask her old mother to come? That's ridiculous."
