Today, the small pub above Yuanzhou Shop was still the same. There weren't many customers. Including Shin Min, there were only six of them.
At one table was the novelist who often came and went, another was Chen Wei and his friend Shen Xi, and the other was Jiang Changxi and Yin Ya.
Jiang Changxi would occasionally treat others to a drink. Today, she was treating Yin Ya. The two strong women had a lot to talk about. Of course, compared to Jiang Changxi, Yin Ya was still lacking.
Tonight, however, Wuhai didn't come. The fragrance drifted upstairs and was first smelled by the novelist who was sitting near the courtyard.
"Does anyone smell anything?" The novelist who frequented the pub was holding a wine cup in one hand and a wine pot in the other, looking at others cautiously and suspiciously.
"What smell? You want to treat me to a drink? "Chen Wei said with a natural expression.
"Idiot. He is talking about a special fragrance." Shen Xi looked at Chen Wei with disdain.
"I don't smell it. Sigh. There's too little wine." Chen Wei took a sip and shook his head contentedly, not caring about Shen Xi's disdain.
"I think I smell it too. It's so fragrant." Yin Ya sniffled and also revealed a puzzled expression.
"There is indeed a fragrance and it's the smell of meat," Jiang Changxi said affirmatively.
"Um, it should be some kind of dish that goes well with wine," Shen Xi said affirmatively.
"Sniff, sniff." Chen Wei sniffled. There was indeed a faint fragrance. The smell was so alluring that it almost made him drool.
"It's indeed fragrant. You are a teetotaler. How do you know this dish goes well with wine?" Chen Wei first confirmed Yin Ya's words and then asked Shen Xi.
"Because I used to drink," Shen Xi said as if it was a matter of course.
That's right. Shen Xi had quit drinking. He wouldn't drink at all and would only eat some side dishes. This was also the reason why Chen Wei was willing to bring Shen Xi here instead of Dong Dong, who was as strong as a bull.
Shen Xi didn't come to snatch the wine. Although he would lose some side dishes, it was better than losing the wine.
"I wonder what's so fragrant. Just smelling it makes me drool," the novelist muttered as he took a deep breath.
"Min Min, what delicious food did your boss make today? The entire courtyard is filled with fragrance? "Jiang Changxi was the most direct. She immediately asked Shin Min.
"Sister Jiang, I don't know either." Shin Min also shook her head in confusion.
Shin Min knew that Yuan Zhou would sometimes cook in the kitchen, but this was the first time that the smell had never drifted up.
"Go down and take a look," Jiang Changxi said.
"Okay." Shin Min nodded.
Shin Min was also very curious, so she quickly ran downstairs after hearing what Jiang Changxi said.
"Dadada, Dadada." The sound of Shin Min's footsteps came down slowly. Jiang Changxi stood up and said, "Let's go down and have a look."
"Yes, let's take a look." Yin Ya was the first to agree.
Seeing that the two girls had stood up and walked to the side, the remaining three men naturally moved over and looked into the courtyard.
Yuan Zhou's pub was on the second floor. The walls on the side were all torn down and replaced with bamboo. Therefore, they only needed to gently push aside the bamboo leaves to see the small courtyard downstairs.
On both sides of the path in the small courtyard were two meandering lotus lanterns, which were low and hidden among the branches. The remaining two sides were planted with flowers, some of which had already bloomed in this season.
And Yuan Zhou sat under the eaves. There was a table there, and an elegant lotus lantern hung on the eaves. The light shone on the table.
On the table, there was a pot of wine, a wine cup, a pair of chopsticks, an empty bowl, and two to three dishes.
The few of them looked into the courtyard. It was such a scene, and it was somewhat beautiful.
"Why does a chef have to be so elegant to cook so well?" Yin Ya snorted in her heart, but her face was blushing.
Even Jiang Changxi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Boss Yuan is eating alone!" In Chen Wei's eyes, this was the only meaning he could think of.
Eating alone would cause one's butt to rot.
"Eh …" Jiang Changxi instantly facepalmed helplessly.
Yin Ya couldn't help but burst out laughing. Shen Xi, who was at the side, had a helpless expression. The novelist, on the other hand, was calm as he stared straight at the steaming dishes on the table.
At this time, Shin Min came to Yuan Zhou's table. The two of them started talking, but the people upstairs couldn't hear them clearly.
At this time, Jiang Changxi waited for a while and suddenly shouted toward the courtyard, "Boss Yuan, it's boring to drink alone. Come up and let's drink together."
"Bring the dishes up as well," Jiang Changxi added with a smile when she saw Yuan Zhou raise his head.
With Jiang Changxi's words, Chen Wei immediately reacted. "Yes, yes, yes. Boss Yuan, come up and let's drink together. The more the merrier."
"Bring the new dishes on your table as well," the novelist said timely.
"Do you want to taste the new dish?" Yuan Zhou asked straightforwardly.
"No, no, no. I just want to try the taste," Chen Wei rubbed his head and said with a smile.
"Boss Yuan, come up with us. I have other dishes to go with the wine," Jiang Changxi said again.
Yuan Zhou looked at the people upstairs, then lowered his head and said to Shin Min, "Bring them up together. Just bring the dishes up."
"Okay, Boss Yuan," Shin Min nodded.
After Shin Min agreed, she turned around and took a tray. After keeping all the dishes on the table, she walked up to the second floor.
As for Yuan Zhou, he kept the tables and chairs and moved them upstairs.
The system had only set up three tables and three chairs. If he didn't sit at the counter, he would have to bring his own tables and chairs.
"Let's be harmonious and exchange food later," Chen Wei turned and looked at them with a serious expression.
"You are the best at snatching wine," the novelist said straightforwardly.
"Yeah, as long as you don't go around scamming wine. Let's see what Boss Yuan's new dishes are first," Jiang Changxi nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I wonder what delicious food Boss Yuan has made. It really looks like it goes well with the wine," Yin Ya said curiously when she thought of the dish that was emitting white smoke.
"You'll know when you come up," Shen Xi said briefly.
Shin Min carried the tray while Yuan Zhou carried the tables and chairs. Jiang Changxi and Chen Wei helped to arrange them. Soon, Yuan Zhou was arranged to sit in the middle of the three tables.
The moment Yuan Zhou sat down, Chen Wei pointed at the Mushroom Roasted Chicken Tail and said, "Boss Yuan, what new dish is this? It goes well with the wine, right? "
"Yeah, it can be considered a dish that goes well with the wine. It can also be eaten," Yuan Zhou nodded.
"It looks so pretty. It's actually in the shape of a heart," Yin Ya looked at the chicken tail curiously.
"Boss Yuan, this is a chicken tail, right?" The novelist and Shen Xi spoke at the same time. The difference was that the novelist was frowning while Shen Xi was interested.
"This is a new dish, Mushroom Roasted Chicken Tail," Yuan Zhou said directly when he saw that someone recognized it.
"What's a chicken tail? The tail of a chicken?" Yin Ya asked.
"It's commonly known as a chicken's butt," Shen Xi said as he glanced at Yin Ya.
"Cough, cough, cough. What?" Yin Ya was instantly choked. She felt that the fragrance in the air wasn't as alluring anymore.
"I heard that this thing goes well with the wine. Boss Yuan, let's share it and have a taste," Chen Wei said with great interest.
Even Jiang Changxi, who was at the side, was somewhat tempted.
Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, took in all the expressions of these people. In his heart, he had already made some preparations for their reactions tomorrow.
