The first one to arrive at lunchtime was definitely Zhou Jia. Usually, Zhou Jia would find something to do by herself as soon as she entered the restaurant. But today, Yuan Zhou directly stopped her.
"Zhou Jia, paste this." Yuan Zhou took out a slip of paper which was obviously cut out of A4 paper.
"Where should I paste it?" Zhou Jia asked carefully.
"Over there. You paste it." Yuan Zhou pointed at the position.
"Ok. When will the dishes be served if we don't provide them today?" Zhou Jia asked after she had pasted the paper.
After all, there was only the words "Temporarily not available" on the paper.
"Two days later, starting from today." Yuan Zhou looked at the wound on his little finger and said calmly.
"Ok. I got it." Zhou Jia nodded her head, indicating that she got it.
"Humm. That's all." After saying that, Yuan Zhou started to clean up the kitchen and prepare for the upcoming lunchtime.
"Zhou Zhou, did you say the vinegar of Boss Yuan's restaurant is particularly delicious?" Zhuang Xinmu was dressed in a suspender skirt and a white shirt inside, which looked quite beautiful and lovely.
Wu Zhou only paid attention to her and totally didn't pay attention to what Zhuang Xinmu asked. The suspender skirt was really a miraculous tool to reduce one's age.
"Wu Zhou." Seeing Wu Zhou stare at her in a daze, Zhuang Xinmu pulled his ear discontentedly.
"It's delicious. It's really delicious. An old man said it's Immortal Vinegar." Wu Zhou reacted immediately and started to explain.
"Immortal Vinegar? I've only heard of it. What color is it?" Although Zhuang Xinmu had been to Yuanzhou shop for several times, she had never eaten the Soup Dumplings with vinegar.
"Let's go. Let's order the vinegar and then eat the Phoenix-Tail Prawns. It's definitely delicious." Wu Zhou said earnestly.
"Ok. Whatever you say." Seeing him arrange it so well, Zhuang Xinmu agreed gladly.
Just like that, the two people hurried to Yuanzhou shop. For his girlfriend, Wu Zhou specially asked for an hour's leave just so that he could eat the vinegar as soon as possible. Although it took him some time to pick up his girlfriend, it wasn't a problem for him to eat the vinegar as soon as possible.
"Let's go. There's no one around. Let's go inside." Wu Zhou dragged Zhuang Xinmu towards the Yuanzhou shop with quick steps.
"That's great. He's the first one." Zhuang Xinmu sighed with emotion happily after getting seated.
"Boss, a plate of Divine Vinegar and Phoenix-Tail Prawns, please." Wu Zhou said generously.
It was indeed very generous. A plate of Phoenix-Tail Prawns cost 1288 RMB. It was the first time for Wu Zhou and Zhuang Xinmu to eat it. Usually, they would order Fried Rice and Jin 'ling Grass when they were hungry.
"I'm sorry, but we won't be serving Phoenix-Tail Prawns for today and tomorrow." Zhou Jia went up and greeted them courteously.
"What the hell?" Wu Zhou revealed a look of disbelief.
"Why didn't you provide it for the past two days?" Zhuang Xinmu asked directly.
"It's indicated on the menu." Zhou Jia pointed at the price list behind her and said with a smile.
"Boss, Boss Yuan, you haven't finished it this morning." Wu Zhou pointed at the white paper and said discontentedly.
"Um. I'm injured and can't cook the prawns." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said frankly.
"Is it serious?" Wu Zhou and Zhuang Xinmu asked concernedly at the same time.
Even Zhou Jia who didn't know that at the side also revealed a worried look.
"The injury here will affect the performance of the sculpting skills." Yuan Zhou raised the non-bleeding wound and said earnestly.
"Er..." Wu Zhou indicated that he was choked.
A grown man unexpectedly said it would affect the performance of the sculpting skills. Wu Zhou and Zhuang Xinmu became speechless at the same time.
However, they suddenly thought of the time when he was injured on the face and then asked hurriedly.
"No way. Boss, are you going to rest again as soon as you come back?" Thinking of Boss Yuan who was about to close the door again, Zhuang Xinmu instantly felt uncomfortable.
"No." Yuan Zhou's answer was always so simple and clear.
"That's good." This time, Wu Zhou and Zhuang Xinmu let out a sigh of relief together.
If the Yuanzhou shop was open, it would look good even if they couldn't eat it. It was also a kind of happiness that they could recall the feeling of eating here every time they passed by.
"No. The point is what to do with the Divine Vinegar Prawns today." Wu Zhou reacted first.
"Never mind. I think the Clear Broth Noodle Soup is also not bad." Zhuang Xinmu said considerately.
"Honey, I'm sorry I didn't let you eat the prawns." Wu Zhou looked at Zhuang Xinmu affectionately and started to explain.
In the eyes of Yuan Zhou, it was more like a public display of affection than an explanation.
Even in one's own restaurant, one would be showered with affection. Luckily, Yuan Zhou's endurance had been tempered well by the former royal chef, Mr. Ma.
The two people uttered a lot of sweet words and lingered for a while before they started to order dishes.
"Two bowls of Clear Broth Noodle Soup." Wu Zhou made a gesture of "two", meaning two bowls.
"Humm." Yuan Zhou nodded his head solemnly and then followed the order.
"Hello. What do you want to eat today?" Zhou Jia asked.
Just after they ordered the dishes, the customers outside also entered the restaurant one after another. Zhou Jia then started to greet them earnestly and of course explained the dishes that wouldn't be provided today and tomorrow.
Time passed quickly and soon it was 12.30. A middle-aged woman dressed neatly and tidily cut the line and entered the restaurant with a child of about one or two years old on her back.
"I'm sorry. You can't cut the line here." Zhou Jia went up and said courteously.
"I'm not cutting the line. I'm here to clear the sewer. You called me this morning." The middle-aged woman probably felt that she had disturbed the business and was a little embarrassed, but she still said that straightforwardly.
"I called you." Yuan Zhou finished the dishes in his hands and then said that.
"Hello. The sewer is upstairs. Is it now?" Yuan Zhou turned his head and asked the middle-aged woman.
"If it's inconvenient for you, I can only come tomorrow." Standing in the hall full of customers, the middle-aged woman was a little embarrassed.
"Never mind. Ok. You can go upstairs." Yuan Zhou indicated that it wasn't inconvenient.
Then, Yuan Zhou opened the opening of the long table and let the middle-aged woman come in. When she turned sideways, she tried to lean against the wall with her back and put the child in her arms. She was carrying a big box in one hand, which looked very clean.
"Zhou Jia, you continue to order dishes." After saying that, Yuan Zhou led her upstairs.
However, after she went upstairs, the middle-aged woman found there was no place to put her child on the narrow second floor.
After thinking for a while, the middle-aged woman could only carry the child with one hand and open the box with the other. Then, she started to take out a rope from the box and seemed to intend to tie it somewhere. The child seemed to have been used to it. He just looked around curiously with his big black eyes without crying or making any noise.
"Give it to me. Let me carry him." Yuan Zhou said that before the middle-aged woman tied the rope.
"No. How can I bother you?" The middle-aged woman first disagreed.
What Yuan Zhou needed to do was to carry the child directly. Being carried was naturally more comfortable than being tied. The child didn't struggle and appeared very obedient. Then, the middle-aged woman could only say thank you.
Then, she took the tools and started to work earnestly.
After she went downstairs, Yuan Zhou naturally couldn't cook while carrying the child.
"Wait a moment. I will postpone the time here." Yuan Zhou said courteously.
