The crowd of onlookers outside waited for a while. When they found the door of Yuanzhou shop didn't seem to be opened, they dispersed gradually.
Yuan Zhou just sat on the second floor for the whole afternoon with his back straight and his hands on his legs. He didn't even change his posture.
"Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling", an ear-piercing bell suddenly rang in the empty and quiet room.
Yuan Zhou blinked and looked at his vibrating phone with a perplexed look.
"It's time to prepare the ingredients for dinner." Yuan Zhou suddenly muttered to himself.
That's right. It was the dinnertime alarm clock set by Yuan Zhou himself in case he forgot the time when he was immersed in sculpting.
Yuan Zhou stood up neatly and then walked into the kitchen quickly. Then, he began to prepare the ingredients earnestly.
It was only five minutes before the opening time. Yuan Zhou opened the door. There were as many customers waiting in line outside as usual. Zhou Jia had long been standing at the door waiting for him.
"Good evening, Boss Yuan." Zhou Jia greeted him smilingly.
Yuan Zhou nodded his head and didn't say anything. Then, he went back to the kitchen straightforwardly.
The Yuanzhou shop was still very boisterous for dinner. The customers ordered their dishes respectively and Zhou Jia was also very busy.
Not long after dinnertime began, some customers felt something wrong. They looked around and then looked at Yuan Zhou.
The person elbowed the person beside him and then said, "What's wrong with Boss Yuan today? He's acting strange."
"Nothing. He's still the same. The dishes are still super delicious." While saying that, the person picked up the dishes from the person's bowl with his chopsticks. His action was quick and natural.
"Of course the dishes are delicious. I think it's something else. I feel Boss Yuan doesn't seem to be in a good mood." The person rolled his eyes at the person beside him and continued saying.
"Yeah, I also feel Boss Yuan is a little abnormal." Manman also nodded her head approvingly at the side.
"Yeah. I know it's not right." Someone agreed. Immediately, the person analyzed more earnestly.
"Even in the past, Boss Yuan basically didn't speak. But every time he brought the dishes over, he would still look at us or take the initiative to greet us. But today, not only did he not speak, but he also had a very serious expression on his face," the man analyzed seriously.
"Boss Yuan is wearing a mask. How did you see his expression?" Her colleague was surprised.
"That's a small matter. It's not important. You're focusing on the wrong thing," the man reminded him coldly.
"I think that makes sense. Boss Yuan seems to be in the wrong today." Other customers also agreed.
"Yeah, I don't think it's normal either."
"Now that you mention it, it does feel weird."
"Boss Yuan, are you alright?" Ling Hong asked in the simplest and most direct manner.
Yuan Zhou ignored him and stared intently at the spatula in his hand until the dishes were out of the wok and placed on a tray beside him. Then he said, "I'm fine."
"Yes, although it's weird, it should be fine," Ling Hong concluded.
"That's good." Seeing Yuan Zhou say that he was fine, other customers also felt relieved.
Although Yuan Zhou indeed didn't seem to be fine, since Yuan Zhou said he was fine, he definitely didn't want to tell them.
Therefore, the customers were very considerate and didn't ask much.
Such an atmosphere lasted until the pub's business time ended. However, Yuan Zhou was still like that.
Shin Min cleaned up the pub. Although it was the third day that the pub started to provide beer, the drunkards' interest didn't decrease at all. After all, compared with a small pot of Bamboo Liquor, five big mugs were still a lot.
However, that also led to an increase in Shin Min's workload. Compared with the time when there was only the Bamboo Liquor, the things she needed to clean up were much more complicated.
However, Shin Min didn't have any resentment. Although she was working the night shift in the pub, the things she needed to do as a waitress were totally different from those of other waitresses in other restaurants.
The customers who came to drink at night were self-sufficient. They brought all the dishes that went with the liquor … Well, actually, Yuanzhou shop didn't have such things.
Most of the time, the customers wouldn't call Shin Min. Not only was she free, but her salary was also higher than that of other waitresses.
Therefore, Shin Min had always felt a little guilty in her heart. Now that there were more things to do, Shin Min felt more at ease.
It was a very cute thought. That might be the difference between ordinary people and bad people. Ordinary people would feel uncomfortable if they took more, but bad people would feel that it was not enough no matter how much they gave.
Half an hour later, Shin Min finished cleaning up and met Chen Wei at the door.
"Did you see …"
Before Chen Wei finished his words, Shin Min took out a mobile phone from her pocket and said directly, "See your mobile phone?"
"Yes, yes. Thank you." Chen Wei felt relieved. He had originally taken a taxi home, but suddenly found that his mobile phone was not there, so he came back.
Shin Min waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it. Usually, the things picked up in the drinking place would be left with her.
On one hand, Yuan Zhou thought that it was troublesome to leave it with him. On the other hand, something happened before. Shin Min picked up one of Jiang Changxi's earrings. Even Jiang Changxi thought that she dropped it in the company, but Shin Min picked it up at the door.
After Jiang Changxi didn't come for several days, Shin Min directly sent it to the company. He didn't know how much Jiang Changxi's earrings were, but they weren't cheap. Therefore, Yuan Zhou trusted Shin Min quite a bit.
"Let's go. We can take a taxi together. I'll take you," Chen Wei said.
"Thank you, Brother Chen." Shin Min thanked him. The reason why she agreed so readily was that they were going the same way. Chen Wei was farther away, so they could take him along.
Chen Wei said, "I should be the one thanking you."
The two of them talked and laughed. Although it was quite late, there were still many taxis. In a short while, they arrived.
Chen Wei sat in the front passenger seat and started talking on the phone. He talked about tomorrow's arrangements and so on. No wonder he rushed back to find his mobile phone. There were so many things to do.
"Brother Chen, you are so busy every day. Your phone never stops," Shin Min asked.
"Of course I have to work harder. If I don't work harder, I won't be able to afford Boss Yuan's liquor," Chen Wei answered as it should be. "Besides …"
"Besides what?" Shin Min was quite curious about the sentence that Chen Wei didn't finish.
"Nothing." While saying that, Chen Wei answered another call. As the head of the security department, he had basically reached the top in terms of security in a company.
Therefore, in order to get the liquor as he wished and for other reasons, Chen Wei had been exploring new ways to make money.
On the other side of the conversation, Yuan Zhou watched Chen Wei and Shin Min leave. With Chen Wei sending him off, he didn't need to worry anymore. He then turned around and went back to the restaurant.
Normally, at this time, he would either revise his culinary skills or read books to enrich himself. But when he looked at the boxing gloves tonight, he wasn't in the mood.
Yuan Zhou had originally wanted to find a place to hang the gloves, but he took them down again after staying upstairs for two minutes. He closed the door of the restaurant and went to the pub next door from the sergestes wall.
Shin Min had tidied up the place well. All the lights were turned off. Yuan Zhou then turned on all the lights.
Being brighter could drive away the darkness.
Yuan Zhou took three mugs of beer and went up to the second floor. Then he put the boxing gloves on the table.
"I suddenly feel like drinking." Yuan Zhou was quite calm. The pub next door had been open for so long, but this was one of the few times he went upstairs to drink by himself.
The stone bench was a little cold. Chen Wei and others had left for quite a while and the remaining heat had been taken away by the cool breeze.
The cool breeze blew the bamboo leaves and made a rustling sound. Yuan Zhou gulped down a mug of beer in the cool breeze.
He drank too fast and Yuan Zhou hadn't drunk for a long time in order to improve his taste buds. Therefore, he choked and spilled a few drops of the remaining beer on the table.
Yuan Zhou checked it carefully and found no beer was spilled on the gloves. There were six drops of beer in total. The number was quite auspicious.
He continued to drink. Yuan Zhou drank a little slower this time and drank half a mug of beer in one gulp.
There was actually a big difference between the taste of beer with and without dishes. Even if it was the draught beer provided by the system, it still felt a little astringent.
However, Yuan Zhou didn't want to cook anything by himself now. He turned on his phone, thinking whether he should order takeout or not, but gave up in the end.
He continued to drink up the remaining half mug of beer.
"It's still a little cold. Should I install an air conditioner?" Yuan Zhou suddenly had an idea.
After drinking up another half mug of beer, Yuan Zhou burped. The smell of alcohol was very strong.
"I suddenly became stupid. There's no roof here. How can I install an air conditioner?" Yuan Zhou denied his own idea.
There was still one mug of beer left. He continued to drink.
