However, the grandpa still wouldn't tell Yuan Zhou that he had been stimulated. He had originally wanted to show off the good stuff in Yuan Zhou's shop in front of his old friend. Unexpectedly, the grandpa from the tax bureau beat him to it, saying that he had drunk some good tea.
At the beginning, he described the tea so extravagantly that he almost said it was the tea from the legendary mother tree, Da Hong Pao.
After asking for the address, the grandpa found out that he had drunk it from Yuan Zhou's shop. Then, the grandpa believed him and directly rushed to Yuan Zhou's shop.
Indeed, the grandpa had no choice but to believe him. No matter how extravagantly Division Chief Lin described it to others, the grandpa still had reservations about it. But in Yuan Zhou's shop, he wouldn't be surprised even if he had drunk the tea from the mother tree.
"Who asked this guy to cook the Herbal Tea Eggs with Keemun Black Tea?" Thinking of that, the grandpa felt his heart bleeding.
Luckily, the grandpa wasn't really a person who pestered others endlessly. After waiting for a while and finding that Yuan Zhou was really concentrating on sculpting, he left.
At that time, Yuan Zhou had really finished sculpting the image of a donkey that was digging its hooves.
"This grandpa is really obsessed with tea." Yuan Zhou muttered and then continued sculpting.
The whole afternoon passed while Yuan Zhou was practicing his sculpting skills.
As usual, dinnertime began after Yuan Zhou had prepared the food ingredients.
"Tu Tu Tu Tu", the sound of the electric tricycle passed.
The electric tricycle was bright red, just like the tricycle used to pull passengers on the street. If one had to point out the difference, it might be that this one was relatively clean, although it wasn't too old.
The blanket on the back seat where they sat could be seen to be very clean.
As soon as the tricycle stopped, an old man dressed in an army green coat and a wool hat with a smile on his face went straight to Yuanzhou Shop.
"Hey Hey. It seems that I came just in time." The grandpa took off his gloves and put them on the back seat. Then, he came to line up and prepared to enter the shop.
The grandpa that drove the electric tricycle seemed to be more than 60 years old. With a smile on his face, he looked quite amiable. As soon as he arrived, Zhou Jia greeted him.
"Grandpa Zhang, you are here. What would you like to eat today?" Zhou Jia asked smilingly.
"Me? I want to eat some meat today. It's the beginning of the month again. "The number Grandpa Zhang took out was the reservation number. It was his turn.
"Yes, yes, yes. Why don't you try the Dongpo Pig Knuckle?" Zhou Jia seemed to be quite familiar with Grandpa Zhang. She teased him smilingly.
"That old man can't afford it. Let me eat some meat dishes first." As soon as Grandpa Zhang entered the restaurant, he took off his hat and coat deftly and then sat down and began to order dishes.
"Grandpa Zhang is here."
"Hello, Grandpa Zhang."
"Grandpa Zhang, what are you eating tonight?"
As soon as Grandpa Zhang sat down, many people who were waiting for their meals or eating greeted him.
Grandpa Zhang nodded happily and greeted them one by one.
"I eat meatballs. Let's eat Su Meatballs today." The grandpa directly told Zhou Jia.
"Okay, wait a moment." This time, it was Yuan Zhou who answered.
Grandpa Zhang was not a regular customer of the Yuanzhou shop. He only came once a month.
Even so, many regular customers got to know Grandpa Zhang because he was really an interesting person.
"Who is he?" Huang Ye asked Ma Zhida at the side curiously.
"This is Grandpa Zhang. He comes here to eat." Ma Zhida said straightforwardly.
"I can see that. I mean, you all seem to know each other." Huang Ye felt a little strange.
"Of course. This grandpa is very interesting. If only I could be so free and unrestrained." Ma Zhida was a little envious when he said that.
"What do you mean?" Huang Ye didn't understand.
"Grandpa Zhang drives an electric tricycle to attract customers. Do you know how much he earns every month?" Ma Zhida said mysteriously.
"Maybe four or five thousand RMB?" Huang Ye said with uncertainty.
In his opinion, it was okay for him to come to Yuan Zhou's restaurant to eat once in a while with four or five thousand RMB a month.
"Not so much. Just two or three thousand RMB. After all, Grandpa Zhang is old." Ma Zhida shook his head.
"Then does he come here often? Does his family live well? "Huang Ye was more puzzled.
"Of course not. Grandpa Zhang is a loner. He only comes once a month and only eats about one thousand RMB or two thousand RMB every time." Ma Zhida said straightforwardly.
"How will he live in the future?" Huang Ye asked in surprise.
"Grandpa Zhang will live normally in the future. But he has a good character. Every time he comes, he talks about his youth. It's quite interesting." Ma Zhida had been paying attention to Grandpa Zhang and just waited to hear the story.
"He's too capricious. He doesn't plan ahead at all." Huang Ye shook his head continuously. He really couldn't understand Grandpa Zhang's way of doing things.
In his opinion, it was too extravagant to come here only once a month and eat such expensive dishes at once. It was really undesirable.
"I know you can't understand. When Grandpa Zhang finishes his story, you can ask him yourself. Then you will know." Ma Zhida was a little mysterious when he said that.
"I'm not curious." Huang Ye shook his head mildly.
Huang Ye had a mild temperament and didn't like to ask about others' lives directly.
"Even if you don't ask, someone will." After saying that, Ma Zhida listened to the story attentively.
Grandpa Zhang was quite good at telling stories. Even if the story was sad, there was still some joy in it. There was always a gentle smile on his face.
That made Huang Ye, who wasn't in the mood to listen to the story, slightly raise his eyebrows.
Halfway through the story, Yuan Zhou carried the dishes to him personally.
"Your Dongpo Su Meatballs and Soy Sauce Rice of the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine." Yuan Zhou set down the plate gently.
"Thank you, Boss Yuan. Without your craftsmanship, life wouldn't have any fun." Grandpa Zhang picked up the chopsticks happily and ate a mouthful quickly. Then, he squinted and said that.
"Thank you for your compliment." Yuan Zhou nodded and accepted the compliment.
"You are welcome." Grandpa Zhang waved his hand and directly started to eat.
While eating, he didn't tell stories but just ate earnestly.
However, the grandpa was quite satisfied every time he ate. He ate happily and carefully. Not even a drop of gravy was left.
He behaved just like Wuhai who licked the plates every time.
"Grandpa, if you eat all the food every month, where will you get the money if you get sick and need to be hospitalized?" A young girl asked hesitantly.
"I'm so old. If I'm hospitalized, I won't live for more than a few days. At that time, I can just sell the house and live there." Grandpa Zhang wiped his mouth and said without thinking.
"What if there is money left?" The house price was so expensive that people would ask this question whenever they heard of selling the house.
"I will definitely donate it." Huang Ye thought inwardly.
"Money left? That won't happen. If I'm hospitalized, I will ask someone to push me to Boss Yuan's restaurant to eat every day. That's the best way to eat. "Grandpa Zhang looked at the plate carefully. After he confirmed that the food was clean, he said that.
"Haw?" Huang Ye and other customers in the restaurant who didn't know Grandpa Zhang were all dumbfounded. His answer was interesting.
