Chapter 1323: Meeting
“It’s good that you don’t mind. Thank you, head chef Yuan.” Liu Xi and Liu Jian both laughed and nodded.
“May I know where the two of you are staying? I can arrange a place for the exchange.” Yuan Zhou asked.
“It’s not far, not far. It’s only a ten-minute walk from here,” Liu Xi said.
Yuan Zhou pondered for a while and then said,””Then how about I treat you two to tea at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon? How about we do it in my small courtyard?”
After Yuan Zhou said that, Liu Jian and Liu Xi were both a little moved, but they were still a little hesitant.
“Will it be too much trouble, head chef Yuan?” Liu Xi said.
“No, it’s only right for the two of you to have a cup of tea since you’ve come from afar.” Yuan Zhou said earnestly.
“Alright, then we’ll be taking our leave.” Liu Jian was the first to agree.
“It’s no trouble at all. See you tomorrow. ” Yuan Zhou said.
“Alright, see you tomorrow. In that case, we won’t disturb head chef Yuan’s business.” Liu Xi and Liu Jian said goodbye together.
“See you tomorrow,” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
After seeing the two of them walk out of the door, Yuan Zhou revealed a small smile,””I didn’t expect someone to take the initiative to look for me. I’m so lucky. The legendary European king physique is really that strong.”
Ever since he had communicated with the master, Yuan Zhou found that it had indeed improved his culinary skills and broadened his horizons.
Therefore, not only for the mission, but also for the improvement of his culinary skills, Yuan Zhou was very willing to do so.
“It seems like I’ve digested all the information from this exchange. I should look for other Masters.” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself.
“Speaking of which, President Zhang still doesn’t know about the bowl rack.” Yuan Zhou recalled that the Sichuan cuisine master was also the chairman of the Sichuan cuisine Association, Zhang Yan.
Due to the arrival of Liu Jian and Liu Xi, Yuan Zhou even started thinking about what to eat for dinner.
He was going to use the fermented chili pepper that Colin had given him to make the fermented spicy crab. It should taste good.
While Yuan Zhou was quite happy, Wu Hai was making a call in his studio on the second floor of the opposite building.
“Have you finished using the model? Remember to destroy it when you’re done using it. It’s not a painting. ” Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and said impatiently.
The other end of the phone said something that made Wu Hai’s tightly knitted brows relax and he agreed,””Okay, then you can send it over tonight. Send it directly to the studio and don’t go anywhere else.”
Wu Hai listened to the phone attentively and then hung up the phone after nodding twice.
“I shouldn’t have acted on impulse. Next time, I must make Yin ya share her food with me.” Wu Hai sighed.
Actually, he was calling Yin ya. After being persuaded by Yin ya, Wu Hai did Yuan Zhou a favor, and it was a favor about his painting.
At the other side, Yin ya felt a little funny looking at the phone that was hung up quickly. She shook her head and then went back to work.
Recently, she had been very busy. She went on business trips whenever she could and was also very active in working overtime.
Yin ya worked so actively, but it was not for the promotion, but for the allowance and to save money.
That’s right. It was because Yin ya knew the materials used to make the wooden hairpin and the wooden box that Yuan Zhou gave her.
Originally, he felt uneasy and wanted to return it. However, firstly, it was a gift from Yuan Zhou and secondly, it was a birthday gift. It would be very impolite to return it.
Lastly, because Yin ya liked it very much, under such circumstances, she thought of returning a gift of higher value at Christmas.
Naturally, he would have to work hard to earn more money now.
Yuan Zhou was still very happy to be visited by two masters in the morning, even though one of them served Guizhou cuisine.
Yuan Zhou’s happiness was expressed in words. Therefore, the customers all guessed the reason for Yuan Zhou’s happiness.
Tang Xi even made a vote in the gourmet Group to choose the reason why Yuan Zhou was happy.
Among them, the choice that Yuan Zhou had studied new dishes was voted the most by the people.
As for Wu Hai who was peeking at the screen silently at the side, he stroked his small mustaches and muttered to himself in a noble and cold manner,””Of course it’s because of the new dish. I’m really sorry, but I’ve already eaten.”
After saying that, Wu Hai directly pressed the vote button on the new dish option. He smacked his mouth and recalled the taste of the crab-yellow steamed bun from last night.
“Oh, I’m a little hungry again. Unfortunately, there are still a few hours before dinner.” Wu Hai sighed and touched his own belly.
While speaking, Wu Hai totally couldn’t remember that he had just eaten lunch half an hour ago.
In the afternoon, Yuan Zhou didn’t sculpt. Instead, he was reading various notes and records of diannan cuisine in preparation for the exchange tomorrow.
“Peng Peng”, the sound of knuckles knocking on the wooden door of the store rang out.
It was the first time that someone knocked on the door with Yuan Zhou’s door open. Yuan Zhou raised his head and saw a girl in a grey sports attire standing at the door.
The girl’s face was slightly pale, but there was a little sweat on her forehead. Her black hair was tied into a ponytail, and although she was wearing a loose sportswear, it still looked a little thin.
She looked like she had walked all the way here, but her clothes were not messy at all, giving people a beautiful and exquisite feeling.
This person was ruan Xiaoqing, who didn’t bring any money last night and ate the bun.
Yuan Zhou heaved a sigh of relief in the heart, but still said with a serious expression,””You’re here to pay me back?”
“Yes, I’m here to return the money.” Ruan Xiaoqing had already gotten rid of the awkwardness from last night and nodded seriously.
“Cash or bank transfer is fine.” Yuan Zhou said primly.
“Bank transfer. I brought my phone with me this time.” Ruan Xiaoqing smiled and took out a phone from her shirt pocket.
“It’s okay to exercise more. ” Yuan Zhou looked at ruan Xiaoqing who was paying the bill with her head lowered and suddenly said.
“Eh? That’s right, it’s better to exercise more. ” Ruan Xiaoqing was a little confused at first, but she nodded after she came to her senses.
“I used to walk to the company in the morning when there was plenty of time. It felt pretty good.” Ruan Xiaoqing continued.
Yuan Zhou nodded his head, indicating that he had heard that. Then, he looked at his phone and said,””I’ve received the money,”
“That’s good. ” Ruan Xiaoqing nodded.
“I’m very good at cooking. Crab roe buns are a piece of cake for me. ” Yuan Zhou suddenly said earnestly and solemnly.
“I know. I went back last night and checked. Boss Yuan, you are very famous.” Ruan Xiaoqing said.
“If you come for dinner, you can come earlier to line up.” Yuan Zhou continued.
Ruan Xiaoqing pursed her lips and then nodded.””Okay, I will. I was planning to eat here tonight anyway.”
Hearing that, Yuan Zhou looked at her expression seriously. After confirming that she was telling the truth, he felt more relaxed and then started to drive her away.
“The business time for lunch has passed, and the dinner time hasn’t started yet. Come for dinner.” Yuan Zhou said.
“OK. Thank you, boss Yuan.” Ruan Xiaoqing bowed slightly and thanked him seriously.
“Yes.” Yuan Zhou knew what ruan Xiaoqing was thanking him for. Thus, he nodded his head and accepted her thanks.
“See you tonight.” Ruan Xiaoqing said goodbye.
“See you tonight.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
After saying that, ruan Xiaoqing turned around and was about to leave with a relaxed expression. At this time, someone rushed into the store.
The two of them turned around and entered the door, almost bumping into each other.
“I’m sorry. ” Ling Hong slightly turned his body sideways and gave way.
“It’s fine. ” Ruan Xiaoqing shook her head and walked out of the store.
