"It's not expensive. You don't have to pay for it." Of course, Sun Ming knew Yuan Zhou's temper very well, thus he directly expressed that his wish was free.
"Tell me about it." Yuan Zhou changed his posture while holding the phone.
"Yuan Zhou, we've known each other for several years. I've been quite nice to you. You..." Sun Ming changed his tone and started to talk about the past.
"Let's get down to business." Not waiting for Sun Ming to finish sighing with emotion, Yuan Zhou directly interrupted him and said.
The long emotional speech prepared by Sun Ming was directly choked by Yuan Zhou. It was like a fishbone stuck in his throat and he couldn't help but spit it out.
"Can't you let me finish?" Sun Ming's tone wasn't very good.
"Ok. You can continue." Yuan Zhou had always believed himself to be considerate. Therefore, he agreed readily.
"Ho Ho." Sun Ming's answer was only this.
"Can we get down to business now?" Yuan Zhou still asked considerately.
"It's my birthday tomorrow. You don't need to prepare a gift if you come." Sun Ming took a deep breath and said calmly while holding the phone.
"I don't intend to send a gift. A man doesn't need to receive a gift." Yuan Zhou didn't buy Sun Ming's seemingly friendly gesture and straightforwardly spoke out his thoughts.
"We've been brothers for several years. Are you going to piss me off and then come to the funeral tomorrow?" Sun Ming asked coldly.
"No. I'm just kidding." Yuan Zhou immediately corrected himself.
"Cook a bowl of Clear Broth Noodle Soup for me tomorrow as longevity noodles." Sun Ming felt he had gone through a lot of hardships to make this request.
Yuan Zhou considered for a second and replied, "Is that all?"
"Yes. If you want to cook something else, of course, you're welcome." Sun Ming said with a lazy tone. He knew Yuan Zhou very well and knew that Yuan Zhou was afraid of trouble.
"You prepare the ingredients and I'll cook the Egg Fried Rice for you." Yuan Zhou thought for a while and said.
"That's great. Thank you." Sun Ming said with obvious surprise.
"You're welcome." Yuan Zhou was very principled. He wouldn't just hang up on someone else's call, even if it was a sales call.
"Then let's meet at my place at five o 'clock tomorrow night." Sun Ming told him the time and place.
"Okay." Yuan Zhou calculated the time and felt it was no problem, so he directly agreed.
"Then I'll hang up. Come early. Don't be late." Sun Ming hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
"En." Before Yuan Zhou could reply, the other side hung up the phone.
After putting down the phone, Yuan Zhou thought for a moment before going upstairs to wash up. He set the alarm on his phone for 6: 30 am before going to bed.
…
Ring, ring, ring, ring!
The sound of the alarm clock woke up Yuan Zhou from his sleep. He reached out and turned off the alarm clock. He walked to the bathroom with his eyes closed and began to wash up.
Every morning, Yuan Zhou would wake up in the bathroom, and this time was no exception.
After changing into his work clothes, Yuan Zhou went downstairs to prepare breakfast.
Generally speaking, Yuan Zhou would only provide one kind of food in the morning, which was convenient and quick.
Today, however, Yuan Zhou took out two kinds of flour. One was for making the skin of the Soup Dumplings and the other was for making the Clear Broth Noodle Soup.
When Yuan Zhou steamed the Soup Dumplings and put the noodles in, it was soon 8: 00 am. He got up, washed his hands and opened the door with a sound of "Hua La".
"Good morning, boss." Mu Xiaoyun stood at the door and greeted him sweetly.
"Um. Come in." Yuan Zhou nodded his head, stepped aside and entered the restaurant first.
"Okay, boss." Mu Xiaoyun was very happy because she got the money yesterday. Even after entering the restaurant, she bounced happily.
"You work for one hour in the morning and two hours at noon. You don't need to come in the evening." Yuan Zhou said while walking.
"Huh? Why? "Mu Xiaoyun asked with puzzlement.
"I have something to do. I won't be in the evening." Yuan Zhou was quite willing to answer her patiently.
"Oh. Okay." Mu Xiaoyun didn't think it was a big deal. Three hours less was merely half of her salary. Thus, she nodded her head and agreed.
"All the dishes will be provided in the morning, same as at noon." Yuan Zhou thought for a while and added another sentence.
"Um. Got it." Mu Xiaoyun stood at the same position as yesterday and expressed that she got it obediently.
"Um." Yuan Zhou felt it was good to hire a well-behaved little girl. He didn't need to greet the customers by himself, although he had never done that before.
When those customers heard that all the dishes would be provided in the morning, they asked again.
"Because I have something to do in the evening, I can't open the restaurant. Therefore, I will be open for six hours in the daytime. If you are free, you can have afternoon tea and snacks. 100 servings of the Soup Dumplings will also be provided in the afternoon." While the little girl Mu Xiaoyun was at a loss, Yuan Zhou walked out and explained.
"That's good. Even if you can't eat dinner, it's also very good to sneak out and eat the Soup Dumplings." A girl with long hair sighed with emotion.
"That's right." Other people at the side all began to echo.
"I like the character of Boss Yuan. He is principled and humane." A man wearing glasses began to praise.
"Does he owe me a favor by serving 100 more Soup Dumplings? I say, when will Boss Yuan serve a new dish? "A man dressed in a suit at the side began to change the topic while saying that.
"That's right. Boss Yuan hasn't served a new dish for a long time." A beautiful girl who was drinking watermelon juice gulped it down and said excitedly.
"Soon." Yuan Zhou gave an affirmative answer.
"Soon? How long?" Immediately, someone asked.
"Very soon." Yuan Zhou was still playing Tai Chi as usual.
Seeing that Yuan Zhou didn't answer, the customers could only discuss among themselves. Some even started to gamble for fun and started a meal bet, guessing what new dish Yuan Zhou would serve next time.
Seeing Yuan Zhou solve the problem with just a few words, Mu Xiaoyun was very happy. However, when she heard Yuan Zhou's schedule, she said uneasily.
"Boss, the restaurant is open for six hours in the daytime. Then I will stay and help."
"No need. Just come at the agreed time." Yuan Zhou refused her decisively.
"But …" Mu Xiaoyun still wanted to say something but was interrupted by Yuan Zhou.
"Alright. Go do your work."
In the middle, Yuan Zhou rested for an hour from 10: 00 to 11: 00 to make Soup Dumplings. At 11: 00, he opened the restaurant again.
Yuan Zhou had a good sense of time. Once the time was up, he said to Mu Xiaoyun, "You can get off work. Time's up."
"Never mind. I can still help you." Mu Xiaoyun said smilingly.
"No need. Go back." While saying that, Yuan Zhou stood up and took out 100 RMB from the drawer and handed it to Mu Xiaoyun.
"Boss, I don't have 50 RMB." Looking at the brand new red money, Mu Xiaoyun pinched the corner of her clothes and said.
"Keep the change. This is your salary." Yuan Zhou said clearly.
"Huh? But I only worked for half of the time. It should be 50 RMB." Mu Xiaoyun's cute and white face was full of puzzlement.
"I'm the one who has something to do at night, not you. So take it." Yuan Zhou took the money and asked Mu Xiaoyun to take it with a solemn expression.
Mu Xiaoyun blinked her big black eyes and then said, "No. I only worked for half a day."
Then, Yuan Zhou felt the overly sensible loli was also troublesome. He could only say again, "I breached the contract, so this is what you should pay."
"Okay." This reason convinced Mu Xiaoyun. Only then did she accept the full salary handed over by Yuan Zhou.
