Yuan Zhou looked solemn and didn't say anything. He looked indifferent, but there were a lot of thoughts in his mind.
"Damn, is this a confession? Do I know this girl? I seem to have seen her a few times. No, she looks like she's joking. Her tone and expression are very serious, just like Jiang Changxi. Is this a joke? "Yuan Zhou's heart was in turmoil, but his face was calm. He stood there indifferently and didn't say anything.
Or rather, he didn't know how to put it. After all, Yuan Zhou didn't seem to have any impression of the girl. He only knew that she was a regular customer of the restaurant.
Yuan Zhou stood there seriously. After the girl finished speaking, she smiled mischievously at him, turned around, and walked out of the restaurant.
"Uh …" Yuan Zhou tidied the hem of his Han attire and didn't know what to say.
"Wiping the table is the most practical." Yuan Zhou silently picked up the rag and continued wiping.
On the other side, the girl who walked out of the restaurant stopped and the smile on her face disappeared. Her eyes were filled with tears and she frowned slightly.
"Hey, little girl, it's you. What's wrong?" The granny selling Mantou at the entrance of the Yuanzhou shop looked at the girl and asked.
"Granny, are you coming at night?" The girl squeezed out a smile and greeted her.
"I'm making one more trip now. I'll come at night too." The granny nodded with a smile.
"Don't work too hard, granny. Give me a cup of soy milk. Your soy milk tastes good." The girl pursed her lips and said.
"Here, drink it hot." The granny quickly took out the soy milk from the basket and handed it to the girl along with the straw.
The girl didn't leave after receiving the granny's soy milk. She drank it directly while the granny asked the girl what was wrong.
After all, the girl didn't look well. The granny asked with concern.
When Yuan Zhou heard the girl's voice, he also listened subconsciously. It was good to have good hearing. He didn't need to eavesdrop and could just listen openly.
"There's no hurdle that can't be overcome. Don't be too sad." The granny's voice was gentle and calm with deep concern.
"Granny …" The little girl put down the soy milk. In the face of such concern, she couldn't hold it in any longer, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
"Aiyo, what's going on? Come, come, come. Granny has some paper here. Say what you want." Seeing that the girl was crying, the old lady hurriedly took out a tissue and handed it to her, comforting her.
"Huh? Crying? "Yuan Zhou muttered to himself in surprise and put down the rag in his hand.
Outside, the girl picked up a tissue and wiped her eyes. She lowered her head in embarrassment.
"It's nothing. Young lady, if you want to tell me, you might feel better," the old granny said calmly.
"I broke up with my boyfriend." Probably because of the soybean milk in her mouth, the girl said with a choked voice.
"Mm." The old lady nodded and did not say much. She looked at the girl encouragingly.
"I'm going to leave this city. I feel like he is everywhere. The path on the way home from work is him, the fast-food restaurants are him, and even the Chinese parasol trees are him. Especially this small restaurant. We used to come here often." The girl looked at the door of Yuanzhou Shop with a nostalgic look.
She thought of the reason why Yuan Zhou didn't hang a signboard and the place where the flower rack was placed at the door of Yuanzhou Shop.
The girl's boyfriend had once asked Yuan Zhou for a flower sculpted by him. This place was filled with their sweet memories, even when they quarreled.
"He also said that he would come here and order Boss Yuan's All-Fish Banquet when he got married. He said we can have a luxurious meal at that time," the girl paused for a while and said gently.
"So I don't dare to come here anymore. I want to leave and never come back." The girl repeated several times as if she was saying goodbye to her love.
"Don't worry, young lady. Granny will treat you to a Mantou. Everything will be over soon," the old lady comforted her.
"I will forget this place and him. I won't come here anymore. Thank you." The girl drank up the soybean milk in one gulp and ate up the Mantou in two or three bites. There were still tears in her eyes.
"Goodbye, young lady." The old lady watched the girl leave with a gentle expression.
This time, the girl walked faster. She wasn't as slow and hesitant as when she came.
In the restaurant, however, Yuan Zhou suddenly smiled when he heard the whole process.
"What a kind girl," Yuan Zhou said with a gentle expression.
That's right. The girl was indeed very kind. She came here to say goodbye sadly, but she didn't want to infect Yuan Zhou with her sadness. Therefore, she chose to say goodbye in a joking manner.
Yuan Zhou could totally feel such kindness.
"Um. She is as kind as me." Yuan Zhou took out his phone and looked at the debit information of the bank. The corner of his mouth curled up.
That was right. The debit information came from the Boxer Donation Website. The first part of the information was "1" followed by many zeros. It seemed that she had donated a lot of money.
Donating in the name of Song An, Yuan Zhou, who didn't get any praise, naturally wanted to praise himself.
"Praising oneself makes one kind," Yuan Zhou put down his phone and muttered to himself.
"I can claim the reward now. It's time to release a new dish," Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of the reward that he had yet to claim.
"System, claim the reward," Yuan Zhou said in his heart.
The system displayed, "Mission completed. Available to be claimed."
[Main Mission] Become the base of the next Sichuan Cuisine and the exemplary Sichuan Cuisine restaurant in Sichuan Province. (Completed)
(Mission tips: The annual Sichuan Cuisine exemplary restaurant is about to be held. As the future Master Chef, this is an honor that you must obtain. As the successor of the party, the honor belongs to you.)
[Mission reward] One of the eight major cuisines, Sichuan Cuisine (Available to be claimed)
(Reward tips: How can an intermediate chef who has passed the evaluation of the system not have a complete cuisine? Now that the mission has been completed, please claim the reward and walk towards the pinnacle of Sichuan Cuisine. Good luck, little comrade.)
"Cough, system, let's discuss this and change the way you address me. Calling me little comrade is too painful for my eyes," Yuan Zhou said speechlessly as he looked at the reward.
The system displayed, "Little comrade, as a chef, you can't be bothered by these unnecessary titles. Please claim the reward."
"Claim," seeing that the system was unrepentant, Yuan Zhou hurriedly claimed the reward. He couldn't be bothered to argue with the system anymore.
The system displayed, "The reward has been released. The host can check it now."
After saying this, the system went silent. All that was left was a glowing dot of light in his mind, like a star.
"Let me see how rich the mission reward is," Yuan Zhou couldn't wait to look at the dot of light.
While Yuan Zhou was concentrating, the dot of light was guided into the depths of Yuan Zhou's mind. With that, Yuan Zhou didn't have the time to think about anything else. His mind was instantly filled with all the knowledge and skills related to Sichuan Cuisine.
It was as if a top-notch grandmaster was repeatedly demonstrating their signature dishes in Yuan Zhou's mind. Yuan Zhou watched attentively and couldn't help but start gesturing with his hands. That was Yuan Zhou digesting and absorbing these skills.
