There was only one direct flight from Narita Airport in Tokyo to Chengdu. Other flights required a transfer. This flight without a transfer would take off at 5: 25 pm. When they arrived at Chengdu, it was already past 10 pm.
"Thank you all for your hard work. I have booked a room for those who are not in Chengdu. It's the same hotel as last time. The car is already waiting for you outside." As soon as they got off the plane, Zhong Lili walked to them quickly and said.
"Um. Ok. Assistant Zhong, we're going to sleep now." This time, it was the gray-haired chef who answered.
"We're leaving now. See you in Shanghai one month later." The gray-haired chef nodded to Yuan Zhou, Li Minghui and Liu Tong courteously.
"Goodbye, Master Chen. See you in Shanghai." Li Minghui nodded with a smile.
"Goodbye." Yuan Zhou also nodded the head with a solemn expression as usual.
After seeing off the several people staying in the hotel, Li Minghui and Liu Tong left together again.
"Boss Yuan, let me send you back." Zhong Lili made a gesture of "please".
"Sorry to bother you." Yuan Zhou didn't refuse.
"Not at all. I'll inform you about the exchange meeting in Shanghai next time." Zhong Lili said while walking.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded the head and said as little as usual.
The two of them arrived at the intersection of Taoxi Road in silence.
"Goodbye, Boss Yuan." Zhong Lili stretched her head out and said goodbye.
"Be careful." Yuan Zhou stood still and nodded to Zhong Lili before waving his hand.
After Zhong Lili turned the car around and drove to a place where he couldn't see her, Yuan Zhou dragged the suitcase and walked home.
That's right. Yuan Zhou now felt at home again in the house where only one person was left, especially when he saw Broth approaching him.
"Hey, are you here to welcome me?" Yuan Zhou looked at Broth that ran to him.
Broth ran to Yuan Zhou with a sound of "Deng Deng Deng". Seeing Yuan Zhou walk inside step by step, it turned around and walked in front of him as if to lead the way.
Then, Yuan Zhou asked.
However, as usual, Broth didn't bark. It just led the way in front of them silently with its tail wagging. It seemed to be very happy.
"You never act cute in front of me. At least I'm half a boss to you." Yuan Zhou said with a helpless and funny expression.
However, Broth just turned around and glanced at Yuan Zhou lightly. Then, it continued walking.
When he arrived at the back door of the Yuanzhou shop and opened the door, Broth automatically took out the empty bag with its mouth and put it in front of him.
"I've already seen through you. You're doing this for the biscuits, aren't you?" Yuan Zhou said, amused.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll bring you a bowl of broth later." Looking at Broth staring at him fixedly, Yuan Zhou said helplessly.
"I was touched for nothing," Yuan Zhou muttered as he stepped through the door.
In the end, Yuan Zhou cooked a bowl of Clear Broth Noodle Soup with a lot of broth for himself. After eating the noodles, he carried the remaining broth to Broth.
Having washed his face and rinsed his mouth, Yuan Zhou couldn't help sighing.
"Only after eating the midnight snack can I feel at home." After that, Yuan Zhou closed his eyes and fell asleep.
After a good night's sleep, he got up early as usual. Then, he washed his face and rinsed his mouth, exercised and then prepared breakfast.
The weather was cold and Yuan Zhou prepared the ingredients for the osmanthus garden. Only by drinking a bowl of hot soup with broth could one feel warm.
"Boss Yuan, you're back." Seeing Yuan Zhou open the door on time, Zhou Jia revealed a big smile immediately.
"Um. Come on in." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"Okay. How was the exchange with Boss Yuan?" Zhou Jia took the warm rag and asked while wiping the table and chairs.
"Not bad." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"Is it cold in Tokyo?" Zhou Jia continued to ask smilingly.
"It's cold." Yuan Zhou was quite patient.
"Boss Yuan, leave it to us to clean next time. You can also relax." After wiping the table and chairs, Zhou Jia couldn't help saying that.
"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded his head again.
"You said the same last time, but you still cleaned it this time." Zhou Jia pointed out Yuan Zhou's perfunctory words straightforwardly.
"Time is almost up." Yuan Zhou changed the topic naturally and cleverly.
"Yeah, the customers are getting impatient." Zhou Jia immediately turned to the outside.
As expected, there was a huge crowd of people outside. Even if the 100 customers had already been distributed, they were still waiting just to make sure that the Yuanzhou Shop was open again.
"Time is up. The top 10, please come in." Zhou Jia shouted loudly and clearly.
"That's great. I haven't eaten well for a whole week. I've been missing you so much. It's so bitter." Wu Hai was the first to enter the restaurant while stroking his small mustaches.
"How shameless." Manman spat at Wu Hai immediately.
"Brother Wu definitely doesn't know what shamelessness is." Tang Xi also glared at Wu Hai discontentedly.
"Hey, small mustache. I haven't seen you for a week and you're showing off." Jiang Changxi tilted her head and took a look at Wu Hai.
"I think so too. He needs to be taught a lesson." Ling Hong added at the back.
"Not at all. I was just lucky enough to eat a bowl of cheddar cooked by Boss Yuan personally. The taste was very fresh and delicious. That's all." Wu Hai didn't care about those sarcastic remarks at all. Instead, he talked about what happened in Country R complacently.
"Humph." Then, the several people gave Wu Hai a supercilious look.
"Boss Yuan, did you miss me after being away for a few days?" Jiang Changxi asked with a long and charming voice.
"Speak properly." Yuan Zhou shivered secretly and then said with a solemn expression.
"Actually, I also have an overseas account. You can use it freely." Jiang Changxi sat up straight and said straightforwardly.
"Boss Yuan, what overseas account do you have? Let me take you there to apply for one directly. It's more convenient that way." Ling Hong patted on his chest and behaved like a rich second generation.
"I … I don't have one. But Boss Yuan, I can help you look up some information. What do you need to apply for the card? I can check it out." Tang Xi thought for quite a while and then said.
"I'll just watch." Manman shrugged.
"Um. Thank you." Yuan Zhou didn't understand why they suddenly cared so much about his overseas account. Nevertheless, he still nodded his head and agreed with his usual expression.
Yuan Zhou didn't know at all that the plate of fish sashimi he treated had been photographed by Wu Hai. Not only did Wu Hai post the photos on his WeChat Moments, but he also showed them off in the group chat for a long time.
He even emphasized that he ate it because of his overseas account. That naturally made others envious.
That was why these people cared so much about Yuan Zhou's overseas account now.
"It's a piece of cake. What's there to eat this morning?" Ling Hong said indifferently.
"Osmanthus Flower Dumplings. Would you like to have a bowl of it, everyone?" Zhou Jia went up and answered timely.
"Of course. One for each of us." Jiang Changxi nodded her head.
Other customers also nodded their heads naturally and waited to eat.
"One moment, please." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then said.
On the first morning after a week, everyone ate quickly in order to let the people behind them eat.
When the last serving was sold out, another girl walked in.
"I'm sorry. The breakfast time has ended. Please come again at noon." Zhou Jia said courteously.
"I know. I know. I just want to ask if there will be BBQ tonight." Dressed in a thick cotton-padded jacket and a wool hat, the girl asked.
