On the morning of the Lunar New Year's Eve, Yuan Zhou woke up at the usual time.
"Morning." It was rare for Yuan Zhou to wake up. He opened his eyes and suddenly said morning to the empty room.
The voice was very light, but it was still very clear in the quiet room.
After washing up quickly, Yuan Zhou went out to jog again.
"Hu, hu", Yuan Zhou coordinated his breathing while running. White steam rose up from his body.
"Boss Yuan, do you insist on jogging today?" On the way, he met Huang Ling who was cleaning the street.
"Yes, morning." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then greeted her.
"Boss Yuan, happy Chinese New Year's Eve." Huang Ling said loudly to Yuan Zhou who ran to the side.
"You too." After saying that, Yuan Zhou continued jogging.
"Dadada Ta." Yuan Zhou's footsteps faded away and Huang Ling heaved a sigh.
"I have to go back earlier today. I still have to prepare the New Year's Eve Dinner." Thinking of her younger brother, Huang Li, Huang Ling immediately quickened her movements.
On the morning of the Lunar New Year's Eve, Yuan Zhou didn't open the door. The queuing machine at the door had been moved back to the courtyard of the pub by Yuan Zhou.
Soon, it was 8: 00. There were no people lining up outside the door. Taoxi Road was extraordinarily quiet today.
"It's really quiet." Yuan Zhou put on a light Han Chinese costume with narrow sleeves and tight-fitting cotton trousers. Then, he picked up a handkerchief and started to clean the restaurant.
That's right. Yuan Zhou was cleaning the empty restaurant in a very serious manner. Even though the restaurant was spotless due to the system, he was still cleaning very seriously.
During the Chinese New Year, one should clean the house inside and outside to bring a new atmosphere. His mother used to say so when he was young.
"I've finished cleaning today. Fortunately, I've cleaned it. Mom shouldn't have any objection. After all, I clean it better than dad." Yuan Zhou thought of the cleaning he did during the Chinese New Year's Eve and couldn't help revealing a smile. His tone was full of pride.
Strangely, perhaps because it was the Chinese New Year's Eve, the sun rose at noon. Yuan Zhou raised his head and looked at the sky in the courtyard of the pub.
"Should I make mushroom vegetables for lunch?" When Yuan Zhou returned to the kitchen to prepare lunch, he suddenly muttered to himself.
Yuan Zhou said as he reached out to open the cabinet containing the ingredients.
With a sound of "Pa", the cabinet was easily opened. There were green vegetables inside, which were bright green and eye-catching. There were even water drops on the leaves, which gave people a feeling of freshness.
"Forget it." Yuan Zhou suddenly closed the door of the cabinet, opened another cabinet, and started to prepare the ingredients.
But this time, Yuan Zhou did something different. He took out a piece of beef from the freezer. The beef was a beautiful rouge-like red. The texture was distinct, and the color was tender. It looked very fresh, as if it had just been cut from a cow.
However, this beef was obviously different from the one provided by the system. It smelled faintly of meat.
"Hua La" Yuan Zhou took out a pot from the innermost cabinet of the azure stone countertop. This pot had obviously been used before.
"Not bad. It seems that I had a good eye before. It's still so fresh after such a long time." Looking at the pot that was 80% new, Yuan Zhou was quite satisfied.
That's right. This pot was previously placed upstairs by Yuan Zhou to cook porridge or instant noodles. It was the only pot left after the destruction of the system.
Now, after Yuan Zhou cleaned it, he prepared to cook the beef with it.
Yuan Zhou chose the most tender part of the beef, namely the tenderloin, also known as the strip of meat on the inside of the spine or the side of the abdomen.
The meat here was all a piece of intact lean meat. Besides, it was extremely tender and suitable for stir-frying. However, after Yuan Zhou cleaned the pot, he directly added water into the pot and started to boil it. Obviously, he was going to cook the meat.
"This meat should be chewable." Yuan Zhou cut the meat into small pieces that were suitable for swallowing and then said.
Right after that, Yuan Zhou started to cook lunch for himself.
Dishes were cooked one after another by Yuan Zhou's magical culinary skills. They were all put on the tray and kept warm.
Yuan Zhou straightforwardly braised the white rice and used it to accompany the dishes.
"Dad likes the Braised Beef with Soy Sauce, mom likes the Jin 'ling Cuisine and I like the Fish with Pickled Cabbage and Chili." Looking at the three dishes, three bowls and three pairs of chopsticks on the table, Yuan Zhou nodded his head contentedly.
With a sound of "Dadada Ta", Yuan Zhou washed his hands and then carried the small table where he usually ate his meals, passed through the sergestes wall view door and went to the courtyard of the pub.
"The sun is high in the sky and the temperature is just right. Besides, there are some flowers and plants to accompany us. This should be the most suitable environment for eating." Yuan Zhou set down the table and said contentedly.
The current environment was indeed very beautiful. The small bamboo table was placed on an open space in the middle of the courtyard.
On the left was a tree with lush foliage and beautiful fruits. Surrounding it were flowers that bloomed in winter, and there was a faint fragrance wafting from them.
It was the wintersweet flower near the corner that had bloomed, bringing along a delicate fragrance.
Now that the environment for eating had been found, the family naturally couldn't miss Broth's food. Yuan Zhou walked into the kitchen and carried out the pot of beef broth with just the right temperature.
The beef was specially bought by Yuan Zhou from the market and sterilized in the freezer for three days before he took it out to cook. "Zhi Ya."
"Zhi Ya." Yuan Zhou opened the back door and then carried the Beef Soup to the back alley.
"Broth, eat." Yuan Zhou carried the pot and poured the beef broth into Broth's bowl.
Broth had two bowls, one big and the other small. Naturally, the beef broth was poured into the big bowl.
Yuan Zhou's voice was neither too loud nor too low, but Yuan Zhou's Broth still heard it. The noodles that were still in front of the garbage station directly ran to him.
"You can't hear anything else, but you run so fast when I ask you to eat." Looking at Broth that was sitting upright, Yuan Zhou said speechlessly.
"Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve. Everybody is celebrating the Chinese New Year. You eat the beef broth today." Yuan Zhou pointed at the beef broth in the bowl and said.
Hearing Yuan Zhou's words, Broth sniffed at the bowl again and then suddenly turned around and ran away.
"Hey, let's eat together." Yuan Zhou stood up with puzzlement and looked at Broth that ran away.
"What's wrong with you? Are you going to run to digest the food after eating too much?" Yuan Zhou walked back to his restaurant and didn't care much about it.
In any case, Broth would come back to eat.
However, the first thing that Yuan Zhou did before he sat down for the meal was to open the back door of the pub. He had only opened the back door a few times.
As soon as he opened the door, however, the steaming beef broth bowl of Broth faced Yuan Zhou, because Yuan Zhou was eating at the table in the small courtyard.
"Now we can eat together." Yuan Zhou was quite satisfied.
"Dad, mom, time to eat." Yuan Zhou looked at the two empty seats next to each other and said earnestly.
After saying that, Yuan Zhou waited for a while as if he was waiting for an answer. Only then did he carry the bowl and prepare to eat.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little sad.
Just at that time, two dog heads suddenly appeared at the door of the pub. One of them was naturally Broth's while the other one was Broth's wife's khaki color, which was rarely seen by Yuan Zhou.
The moment the two dogs came to the steaming beef soup, Broth, Broth behaved well and was very reserved. The khaki puppy whimpered and looked very excited. It only calmed down after Broth nudged it with its head.
Right after that, the two dogs squeezed each other and lowered their heads to drink the beef broth in the bowl together.
How warm, sweet, and friendly they looked! However, Yuan Zhou only felt full of "F * ck".
Then, he looked at the empty seat next to him. How could he still feel sad? He only felt angry and funny at the same time.
"Is this f * cking pure dog food? And it's the real 24K dog food." Yuan Zhou stared at the two dogs who were getting intimate with each other speechlessly.
