Not long after lunchtime ended, Yuan Zhou's phone rang.
The caller ID showed that it was Sun Ming, Yuan Zhou's brother that he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Why do you have the time to call me?" Yuan Zhou answered the phone and asked directly.
"It's almost Chinese New Year, so I just wanted to ask you about it," Sun Ming said hesitantly on the other end of the phone.
"I don't believe you. You're a guy that values love over friendship," Yuan Zhou immediately exposed Sun Ming's words.
That's right. There was only one reason why Sun Ming hadn't looked for Yuan Zhou for a long time. More than a month ago, he said that he had gotten to know a new goddess and was pursuing her with all his might.
He had no time to come to the Yuanzhou shop, nor did he have time to meet up with his brother. He hadn't even eaten his favorite delicacies for a long time.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou wasn't wrong to say that he valued love over friendship.
"That's not true. That's why I called you," Sun Ming immediately expressed his attitude and said solemnly.
"I think you failed in your pursuit of the goddess, right?" Yuan Zhou said bluntly.
Yuan Zhou would spare no effort to strike down his brother who valued his lover more than his friends.
"You are wrong about that. I have already asked my goddess out for a meal," Sun Ming declared solemnly.
When he said that, however, Sun Ming's voice was filled with joy and sweetness that couldn't be concealed.
"You've only managed to get one meal in more than a month. It's not bad for you," Yuan Zhou's disdain filled every word he said.
"At least it's better than an authentic single dog like you," Sun Ming retorted, unwilling to be outdone.
"Ho Ho," Yuan Zhou directly sneered and didn't even bother to answer him.
"Let's stop chatting. Let's talk business." Sun Ming knew when to stop. Thus, he prepared to talk business.
"Um. Let's not talk anymore. I'm hanging up," Yuan Zhou said and prepared to hang up the phone.
"Don't, don't, don't. Pi, don't hang up. We're brothers after all. I need your help." Sun Ming was willing to put down his pride and directly used the word 'beg'.
"Ask me for help," Yuan Zhou repeated indifferently.
"Yes, please help me." Sun Ming nodded unconsciously and said affirmatively.
After Sun Ming finished speaking, Yuan Zhou did not reply immediately. After all, Yuan Zhou was a single dog, and a single dog who held a grudge. It was certain that he would leave him hanging for a while.
"Tell me about it." Yuan Zhou thought for five seconds before answering.
"It's like this. I want to invite my goddess to your restaurant for a meal. Since I promised to cook for her personally, can I …" Sun Ming said this request very quickly.
But before he could finish, he was mercilessly interrupted by Yuan Zhou.
"No." Yuan Zhou refused.
"I haven't said what it is." Sun Ming choked for a while and then said.
"You want to borrow the kitchen. Have you ever seen Ximen Chui Xue lend his sword to Lu Xiaofeng?" Yuan Zhou immediately guessed Sun Ming's purpose and directly refused.
"No." Sun Ming answered honestly.
"Um. That's why no." Yuan Zhou said as a matter of fact.
After hearing Yuan Zhou's answer, Sun Ming was not discouraged. He directly changed his request. The speed at which he changed his request was so fast that it made people feel that this was his original purpose.
"Okay." Yuan Zhou agreed readily this time.
"That's good. Then I will bring someone over after I confirm the time of the goddess," Sun Ming said happily.
"Oh." Yuan Zhou returned to his indifferent manner.
"Don't be like that. I will ask the goddess to introduce a girlfriend to you after I successfully win her heart. After all, the friend of the goddess is definitely a goddess." Sun Ming's words sounded rather wretched, but his tone was full of sincerity.
"No need. I don't need that." Yuan Zhou said with a resolute tone.
After all, with his god-like appearance and superb culinary skills, there would definitely be girls who liked him. There was no need for him to go on a blind date. Yuan Zhou thought with certainty in his heart.
"You will know when the time comes. That goddess of mine is extraordinarily beautiful." Sun Ming didn't really care about that. Instead, he said mysteriously.
"Goodbye." This was Yuan Zhou's answer.
After that, Yuan Zhou directly hung up the phone.
"This guy." Sun Ming looked at the phone that was hung up and muttered. Then, he put down the phone.
"It's not the time to rest now. I have to practice cooking that dish again." After saying that, Sun Ming ran to his own kitchen hurriedly.
On the other hand, there wasn't much change in Yuan Zhou's mood. He continued to sculpt and practice his knife skills in the afternoon. When it was time, he went to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
The customers of Yuanzhou shop always arrived early and waited for their meals. Lee Yanyi was no exception.
In the past, it was always Yan Jia who sent him to the intersection of the street and then he walked to the restaurant quietly. But it was a little different this time. He could hear a vigorous male voice from afar, saying something ceaselessly.
"Is this the restaurant of that Boss Yuan? Why did you open it in such a desolate place? "The one who spoke was Lee Yanyi's arch-enemy, Xing Min, from the food ingredients exchange meeting.
The two old men were well-known for quarreling. However, their dressing styles were similar. They were both wearing gray woolen suits, which looked old-fashioned and proper. Their hair was combed neatly and meticulously.
However, Xing Min's face was flushed with anger while Lee Yanyi's was much calmer. Besides, Xing Min was also slightly fatter.
After all, he wasn't as picky as Lee Yanyi.
"As the saying goes, good wine fears no dark alley. You came here to experience it yourself. If you don't want to, you can leave by yourself. I'm not willing to take you there." Lee Yanyi took a look at Xing Min and straightforwardly rejected him with a sentence.
"Since I'm already here, I naturally have to go and have a look. I didn't eat much last time." Xing Min made a reasonable reply.
"You are a glutton. How can you say that in such a dignified way?" Lee Yanyi continued to say in an infuriating manner.
"It's better than you, a glutton every day." Xing Min stomped his feet in anger again.
"No. I just want to improve my sense of taste and judgment." Lee Yanyi said deservedly.
"Ho Ho." Xing Min straightforwardly snorted coldly.
Just like that, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the restaurant noisily. Xing Min wasn't surprised at all when he saw the crowd at the entrance.
After all, the food cooked by Yuan Zhou and the superb culinary skills he had displayed in the exchange of food ingredients meeting was understandable for him to be so popular.
Luckily, as a regular glutton, Lee Yanyi naturally arrived early. Therefore, the two of them were the first to enter the restaurant as soon as the door was opened.
"Grandpa Lee and this grandpa, what do you want to eat?" Mu Xiaoyun went up to order dishes obediently.
"No need. I'm going to ask your boss what his specialty is." Xing Min straightforwardly refused.
"Look at the menu yourself. All the dishes on the menu are his specialty. Is there anything that Yuan Zhou isn't good at?" Lee Yanyi immediately gave Xing Min a contemptuous look and said as if he were a prophet.
"Yes. All the dishes on the menu are said by the customers to be very delicious. They are all my specialties." Mu Xiaoyun said naturally.
"You don't understand. A chef naturally has his own specialty dishes." Xing Min said disapprovingly.
"That's because you are ignorant. Just order whatever you want." The contempt on Lee Yanyi's face was almost overflowing.
After all, Lee Yanyi had basically eaten all the dishes on the menu. Every dish was of top-notch quality and was the pinnacle of the dishes themselves.
However, Xing Min directly ignored Lee Yanyi and asked Yuan Zhou.
"Boss Yuan, what's your specialty dish?" Xing Min asked earnestly.
