It had rained heavily last night, but when he woke up this morning, it was already sunny. Although the sun still seemed to be hiding in the clouds, the chirping of birds was very pleasant to the ears.
Since there were more trees along Taoxi Road, many birds had set up camp here. When people were in a good mood, they would find the chirping of birds pleasant. When they were in a bad mood, they would think it was just noise. Fortunately, most people who came to Taoxi Road were in a good mood.
"Good morning, Boss Yuan."
The neighbors who passed by greeted each other. Yuan Zhou also responded to everyone's enthusiasm with a gentle expression while running. It could be said that he didn't waste any time.
Yin Ya was also sleeping in the restaurant today. Therefore, in order to prepare breakfast for Yin Ya, Yuan Zhou ran past the noodle house and told the owner of the noodle house to take note of the noodle house's name. Then, he didn't go there for breakfast.
"Boss Yuan, you are so happy recently. Young people should work harder," the owner of the noodle house said with a smile.
Yuan Zhou felt the owner's smile was a little strange, but he himself felt very happy recently. He could see Yin Ya's sleeping face as soon as he woke up. This kind of happiness was indescribable. Therefore, when he heard the owner's words, he thanked him politely and then ran away.
Considering that Yin Ya would go to work soon, the food he prepared had to be simple. After stewing the bird's nest, Yuan Zhou planned to make some steamed buns to go with the bird's nest, which would be convenient for Yin Ya to take away.
He had to finish it before Yin Ya got up. After all, he might not have time to talk to Yin Ya when breakfast time started. Yuan Zhou sped up because he wanted to finish it as soon as possible.
By the time Yin Ya got up, breakfast time had already started.
"It feels so cool to be able to eat breakfast without waiting in line," Yin Ya muttered.
Thinking of the days when she had to wait in line for breakfast, she couldn't bear to recall the past. Yin Ya decided to live here in the future. It was closer and she could sleep a little longer. She didn't need to get up early to wait in line for breakfast. Just thinking about it made her feel very happy.
It won't be long before the next Sports Meet. I have to work hard, Yin Ya thought to herself.
For the sake of The Kitchen God and Yuan Zhou's reputation, she couldn't miss out on a prize. Yin Ya had always been very interested in it, not because she wanted to win the prize, but because she wanted to represent The Kitchen God in one of the competitions.
After all, this was a competition held by the store. If they didn't even get a ranking, it would be too depressing.
Of course, Yuan Zhou didn't have such an idea, but Yin Ya did. Besides, ever since Yuan Zhou met Wang Jike, he felt that it was good for a chef to exercise. Usually, for the sake of Yin Ya's health, he would ask her to exercise with him. On one hand, it was to increase the time they could spend together, and on the other hand, he hoped that Yin Ya could be healthier.
No matter for what reason she started exercising, as long as Yin Ya exercised, Yuan Zhou would be very supportive.
After sending off Yin Ya, Yuan Zhou concentrated on running the restaurant's breakfast time. Although they didn't talk just now, Yuan Zhou felt that it was good enough to take a look at Yin Ya.
After sending off the last customer, Yuan Zhou finally had some free time. After sending off Su Ruoyan, who was going to say goodbye, Yuan Zhou wasn't in a hurry to practice his knife skills or read books related to cooking. Instead, he just waited in the restaurant.
Soon, a series of hurried footsteps passed over. "Dadada, Dadada" sounds showed the owner's anxiousness.
Very soon, Cheng Zhaomei's chubby face appeared in front of Yuan Zhou. She had probably really rushed over here. Therefore, she looked very tired even though she was panting heavily. However, in order to show respect to Yuan Zhou, Cheng Zhaomei panted heavily for a few times at the door. Only after she had stabilized her breathing did she walk in.
"Good morning, master. I'm sorry I'm late," Cheng Zhao Mei said apologetically.
Actually, she didn't come late on purpose. Rather, she came late because she was waiting for someone. After all, for Cheng Zhao Mei, she had to come on time to meet Yuan Zhou so that she wouldn't waste Yuan Zhou's time.
"It's fine. It's just a minute late. Be careful next time," Yuan Zhou said.
"Hahaha, don't mind her, Head Chef Yuan. Chairman Cheng came late today because she was waiting for me. I'm really sorry," Zhang Yan's familiar voice sounded from outside the door.
Soon, his figure appeared at the entrance of the restaurant. Since he was standing against the light, his face couldn't be seen clearly. However, after entering the restaurant, one could clearly see the embarrassment and shyness on Zhang Yan's face.
Of course, this was also because Yuan Zhou had good eyesight. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to see through it. After all, Zhang Yan's ability to maintain his composure was quite good.
"It's fine. It's about time. Please don't mind, Uncle Zhang," Yuan Zhou stood up and welcomed Zhang Yan. Then, he led him to the backyard.
There, Yuan Zhou had already brewed a pot of tea. That was because Cheng Zhao Mei had called yesterday to make an appointment for today's meeting.
As his disciple, Zhao Mei didn't need her master to call her. She followed behind her master and the three of them walked towards the Sakurai Shrimp Wall.
There was a reason why Zhang Yan was late today. To be more specific, this reason was related to Yuan Zhou.
Not long after Zhang Yan and Zhou Shijie got to know Yuan Zhou, they treated him as a junior of their family. They were quite close to each other.
Of course, it was also because he treated Yuan Zhou as his nephew. Zhang Yan's daughter, Zhang Ying, and Zhou Shijie's son, Zhou Xi, had met with misfortune after Yuan Zhou's engagement. They were all of the same age. Even the busy Yuan Zhou had gotten engaged, yet the two of them were still the same person. Therefore, after Zhang Yan returned, he hastened to arrange matchmaking for Zhang Ying. Today was the best day.
Originally, he had arranged for his wife to accompany his daughter to have a look. It wasn't necessarily today's blind date, but he hoped that Zhang Ying could consider it.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ying played tricks and almost ran away after deceiving his wife. Therefore, it was Zhang Yan who personally sent them to the appointed place.
Therefore, he was a little late.
However, Zhang Yan wouldn't say this kind of thing out. It wasn't that he felt it was shameful. Anyway, he had already lost his face. The main reason was that he didn't want to waste Yuan Zhou's precious time with these unimportant things.
Actually, Zhang Ying was considered lucky that she didn't know. At least she had a successful career. In Zhang Yan's eyes, she had some advantages.
Zhou Xi, on the other hand, was miserable. Although he was following Zheng Jiawei around, he had yet to reach the standard of Zheng Jiawei's apprenticeship. The things he dealt with by himself were not very important. In Zhou Shijie's eyes, he had nothing to do all day long. Moreover, he was still a bachelor. After Yuan Zhou got engaged, the days of misery and suffering immediately resumed.
This was also the reason why Zhou Xi didn't appear behind Wuhai for several days. It wasn't because he went out to deal with things again, but because he was trapped by his father.
"Uncle Zhang, you said you had an important matter yesterday. What is it exactly?" After Zhang Yan sat down, Yuan Zhou asked.
Since Zhang Yan stepped down as the chairman of Sichuan Cuisine Association, Yuan Zhou directly called him Uncle Zhang. It was mainly because Zhang Yan was comparing with Zhou Shijie. After all, one was Uncle Zhou and the other was Chairman Zhang. It was obvious who was close or distant.
