"I do have ice, but I heard that the hardness of the ice in Ice City is different. This one should be softer than the one over there."
Yuan Zhou had no one to teach him how to sculpt ice. He had to rely on himself without the help of the system. Furthermore, he had excellent knife skills as a foundation. Therefore, there were many aspects of knowledge that he didn't know. For example, the hardness and smoothness of the ice varied from place to place. His teacher would definitely teach him when he brought him in.
Being able to specialize in one skill was the reason why craftsmen were respected.
"Speaking of which, I forgot to ask Chairman Zhou where the ice is from. I must call him tomorrow and ask." Yuan Zhou returned to the kitchen after he finished thinking about the composition. He looked at the ice he had stored and muttered to himself as he hammered on it.
"It's too late now. I'll sculpt tomorrow." Yuan Zhou tried hard to suppress the itch in his heart and prepared to go upstairs to sleep.
That's right. Yang Shuxin came at night. Moreover, Shin Min had already gotten off work and left. It was also time for him to sleep.
Lying on the bed, Yuan Zhou rolled twice before falling asleep. After all, he had been recognized by a famous ice sculptor. He felt very proud. Important things to repeat twice.
The next day, Yuan Zhou woke up five minutes earlier than usual. As usual, he got up and washed up. Then, he jogged for exercise.
Now, his exercise was just like how Yuan Zhou honed his culinary skills. He persisted every day and the results were slowly showing.
In the past, Yuan Zhou was a weak otaku. He would stand in the kitchen all day and cook. Even if there was an endless stream of money coming in, he would still feel extremely tired.
But now, after opening the shop for a day, he didn't feel so tired anymore. He felt much more relaxed. This also meant that Yuan Zhou's body was getting stronger. Of course, it didn't exclude the fact that he was earning more money.
More importantly, Yuan Zhou felt that his hand holding the knife had become steadier. Even at night, when he was the most tired, his hand was still steady.
The slight progress that he could feel made Yuan Zhou quite happy.
"Boss Yuan, you're jogging again?"
"Good morning, Boss Yuan."
"Morning, Boss Yuan."
"What's Boss Yuan's breakfast today?"
"Do you have soup dumplings or smoked fish and silver thread noodles? That's delicious too."
Along the way, Yuan Zhou was greeted by many people. Some even asked him what he wanted to eat for breakfast. Although there were not many people like Wuhai who relied on Yuanzhou shop to make a living, the breakfast in Yuanzhou shop was still highly anticipated.
"Morning." Yuan Zhou greeted them along the way.
As for those who asked about breakfast, Yuan Zhou's answer was the same as before, "You'll know during breakfast."
As the saying goes, watching a drama is fun for a while, but the whole family goes to the crematorium. The suspense should still be maintained.
While he was jogging, a beautiful woman would occasionally come back. She looked quite refreshed. However, this beautiful woman had never eaten at the restaurant before, so Yuan Zhou didn't greet her.
After the exercise, the busy breakfast time began. It wasn't a Sunday morning, so the people who came for breakfast were very busy. Therefore, it didn't take long to sell 100 servings.
Even the vendors outside were selling their breakfast very quickly.
"Um. It's time to sculpt." Yuan Zhou cleared away the last bowl and plate, feeling quite relaxed.
"Boss, do you want to sculpt today?" Zhou Jia, who was wiping the table, heard him and asked with a smile.
"Yes. There's a competition." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"Competition? It's rare to find someone who can sculpt better than you. "Zhou Jia was quite surprised.
That's right. In Zhou Jia's opinion, Yuan Zhou's sculpting couldn't be called a technique anymore, but rather an art.
Regardless of the flowers, birds, fishes, insects, rockeries, or strange rocks, he could easily sculpt them with a radish. Even a tomato could be sculpted into a peony by Yuan Zhou. Why would someone come to challenge him? Zhou Jia was quite puzzled.
"No, it's ice sculpting." Yuan Zhou felt complacent inwardly, but explained with a solemn expression.
"I see." Zhou Jia nodded her head.
It was understandable if it was ice sculpting. After all, Yuan Zhou's ice sculpting wasn't as famous as his vegetable sculpting. However, Zhou Jia still didn't think highly of the challenger.
"Be careful on the road," Yuan Zhou said.
"Boss, you also need to keep warm. Don't catch a cold again." Zhou Jia nodded her head and then said with concern.
"I won't," Yuan Zhou fell silent for a while and then answered earnestly.
"Goodbye, boss." Zhou Jia looked at Yuan Zhou's rather thick clothes and felt relieved.
Once Zhou Jia left, Yuan Zhou started to move things out of the restaurant to prepare for the ice sculpting.
Just when he moved the chair out of the restaurant, Yuan Zhou's phone rang.
"Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling" sounds were very real.
"Sun Ming?" Yuan Zhou looked at the screen and felt a little puzzled. After all, this guy had just been here.
"What's the matter?" Yuan Zhou answered the phone and asked straightforwardly.
"Nothing. I'm just concerned about your cold." Sun Ming's voice passed from the other end of the phone.
Yuan Zhou answered, "My cold has been gone for two days."
It sounded as if he was saying that Sun Ming called late. However, Yuan Zhou actually didn't mean that. The so-called passive skill, Topic Ending, was nothing more than this.
Luckily, Sun Ming was thick-skinned and could withstand the test. He continued to ask with concern.
"Your medicine is good," Yuan Zhou said earnestly.
That's right. Last time, when Yuan Zhou caught a cold, Sun Ming sent some medicine to him.
"That's good," Sun Ming said.
"Um," Yuan Zhou answered.
"It's like this. I have good news for you," Sun Ming suddenly said.
"I want to hear the bad news first," Yuan Zhou said subconsciously.
It wasn't Yuan Zhou's fault. After all, many people liked to say that they had good news and bad news and asked which one to hear first. Yuan Zhou was used to hearing bad news, so he made such a mistake.
"Hahaha. No bad news. Only good news," Sun Ming laughed and then said.
"Say it," Yuan Zhou paused for a while and then said.
"Don't be angry. I didn't mean to trick you. It's you who misunderstood me." Sun Ming's voice revealed a smile.
"I'm going to sculpt." Yuan Zhou said that, which meant he was going to hang up the phone.
"No, no, no. I really have news for you." Sun Ming knew Yuan Zhou very well, so he stopped him immediately.
"Here's the thing. My birthday is coming soon. I want to treat you to a meal," Sun Ming said quickly.
"Birthday? You just celebrated your birthday two months ago, "Yuan Zhou said coldly.
"Last time, I celebrated my birthday according to the lunar calendar. This time, I want to celebrate my birthday according to the solar calendar," Sun Ming said primly.
"No gift." Yuan Zhou was defeated by Sun Ming's shamelessness, so he straightforwardly made his stand clear.
"Don't. My gift this time is very simple. I promise it won't cost you anything," Sun Ming said hurriedly.
"Let's talk about it later," Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.
"Okay. I'll come to you to get my gift in two days. Remember to prepare it for me." After saying that, Sun Ming hung up the phone immediately, for fear that Yuan Zhou would refuse.
