Having returned to the restaurant, Yuan Zhou had already made a decision about the dish at noon, but he hadn’t taken any action yet.
On the other hand, Ling Hong drove by the same road where he met ruan Xiaoqing a few days ago.
It was almost lunchtime in the restaurant.
Sure enough, ruan Xiaoqing was walking on the road in a striped tracksuit again.
Ruan Xiaoqing was tall and had long legs. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and swayed behind her head. Her face was slightly pale and her lips were light, but her eyes were big and bright. She looked a little weak and beautiful.
However, when he got close to her and spoke, he could feel ruan Xiaoqing’s strength and gentleness. The slight sweat on her forehead didn’t diminish her beauty in the slightest.
“Lunch?” Ling Hong slowed down the car and asked naturally after opening the window.
“Yes, I’m having lunch,” Ruan Xiaoqing nodded.
“Give you a ride?” Ling Hong said.
“No need. I like to walk. It’s more energy consuming.” Ruan Xiaoqing said with a smile.
“Alright, I’ll be leaving then.” Ling Hong shrugged and then said.
“Goodbye.” Ruan Xiaoqing waved her hand.
“I’ll probably see you in the shop. ” Ling Hong corrected him and then drove away.
Ruan Xiaoqing nodded her head and continued to walk at a steady pace.
The conversation between the two ended.
When they arrived outside the store, ruan Xiaoqing went straight up to line up and then took out a thermos from the small bag on her back.
“Actually, you can order the longan and red jujube tea in the shop. It’s very good.” Just as ruan Xiaoqing was slowly drinking the hot water, the person in front of her couldn’t help but say,”
This person was none other than the very eye-catching Xia Yu. Of course, she was eye-catching because of her height and her 1.8-meter flat shoes.
“But there’s still 41 minutes before it’s my turn to order. After I’m done, it’ll take another 4 minutes and 20 seconds for the food to be served, but I can’t wait that long.” Ruan Xiaoqing said with a smile.
“Your timing is very accurate.” Xia Yu paused for a moment before saying.
“I’m just more sensitive to numbers. ” Ruan Xiaoqing said.
“I’m also very sensitive to numbers. No, I should be sensitive to statistics. ” There was also a girl behind ruan Xiaoqing.
This girl was the girl who would come to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant several times a month to buy the lottery ticket. Coincidentally, she came here today.
When he heard someone say that he was sensitive to numbers, he couldn’t help but reply.
“I’m only sensitive to the scoreboard. ” Xia Yu shrugged.
“By the way, my name is Xia Yu. I’m from Chengdu and I grew up in the United States.” As Xia Yu’s health was starting to improve, her cheerful personality returned. She introduced herself.
“I’m ruan Xiaoqing, a local of Chengdu. ” Ruan Xiaoqing said.
“Chen Ji, I am Chen Ji, but I am not from Rong city. I am from Yan city.” The other girl who bought the lottery ticket pushed up her glasses and introduced herself.
“Since we’ve been introduced, we’re acquaintances now. You can find me if you need anything in the future. I live there.” Xia Yu pointed to her home and said forthrightly.
“I don’t come here often.” Chen Ji said after hesitating.
“You can find me as long as you come to the shop.” Ruan Xiaoqing said after a pause. If she was still working, she definitely wouldn’t be so free.
“I wonder what boss Yuan will cook today. I’m so hungry.” Xia Yu touched her stomach and said.
“Every time I come to boss Yuan’s restaurant, I always look forward to it.” Chen Ji nodded.
“Boss Yuan’s culinary skills are indeed extraordinary.” Ruan Xiaoqing chimed in.
Sometimes, girls ‘friendships came so suddenly. In a certain moment, the three of them liked each other, and their personalities were not bad.
For the first time, ruan Xiaoqing did not wait quietly. Instead, she chatted with Xia Yu and Chen Ji along the way.
When it was the trio’s turn, they felt that time had passed faster than usual.
As they walked in, the three of them talked about their work, shopping, eating, and sports. Only when the dishes were served did the three of them stop eating.
At the sight of this, Yuan Zhou was puzzled inwardly,””When did the three of them get to know each other?”
As for Ling Hong, he didn’t find any free time for ruan Xiaoqing after he parked the car. Therefore, they didn’t even say hello to each other after entering the restaurant.
It was now the middle of November. As the 11th of November was approaching, sister Wan and Chen Wei left their single status without permission and were then jointly cheated by the customers of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. Naturally, they still had a meal in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.
While cooking, Yuan Zhou thought regretfully in his heart that he was sad that he couldn’t eat with the chefs today.
Fortunately, the customers all knew their limits and only ordered one dish each.
Once the 11th day of the 12th month passed, ruan Xiaoqing had been in the restaurant for 14 days. Yuan Zhou had always kept this in mind.
“Tomorrow is exactly half a month. After fifteen days, the crab roe dumplings will be ready on the sixteenth day, which is the day after tomorrow.” Yuan Zhou said inwardly.
“I can look for uncle Zhou now.” After the breakfast time ended, Yuan Zhou washed his hands and recalled his memo.
After wiping his hands dry bit by bit, Yuan Zhou took out his phone and directly called Zhou Shijie.
The number Yuan Zhou dialed was naturally Zhou Shijie’s number. The phone was picked up after just two rings.
“What a coincidence. I was just about to look for you, little Yuan.” Zhou Shijie said.
“What’s the matter, uncle Zhou?” Yuan Zhou asked.
“That ke guy sent you something again.” Zhou Shijie’s tone was full of helplessness.
“Thank you, uncle Zhou.” Yuan Zhou said.
“The two of you are really … You’ve made me the center.” Zhou Shijie complained.
“No, you are the proof of my friendship with master Colin.” Yuan Zhou said with a smile.
“You must be laughing at me,” Zhou Shijie said unhappily.
“This is a tacit agreement between master Colin and me.” Yuan Zhou said quite seriously.
“Come on, it’s that old man who’s awkward, and you’re also slippery.” Zhou Shijie continued,”you don’t know this. Ever since that old B * stard, Colin, returned from Chengdu, he has been training his disciples. He didn’t even let his own son go. It’s said that the result of the training was that he wanted to die.”
What else could Yuan Zhou say? As a kind person, he could only silently mourn in his heart.
“I think that old man is just delusional. Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Why are you calling me?” Zhou Shijie ridiculed for a while and then returned to the main topic.
“I want to treat you to some Shandong cuisine. I’ve had some experience since our last exchange.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Don’t say that. You’re amazing when you say that you have some experience. You’re so humble that I’m having a toothache.” Zhou Shijie was really speechless.
It couldn’t be helped. Every time Yuan Zhou said that he had some experience or that he wasn’t good at cooking but only knew a little, he would be able to cook a dish that had already reached the level of great success. This was not the first time.
Therefore, Zhou Shijie didn’t believe Yuan Zhou’s self-evaluation.
“No, I’m really not proficient in Lu cuisine. I only know how to make a few dishes.” Yuan Zhou reiterated.
“Alright, alright. You’re here for dinner, right? no problem. I’ll bring you the things that Colin sent on the way.” Zhou Shijie waved his hand continuously to interrupt Yuan Zhou and then directly agreed.
“Then I’ll have to trouble uncle Zhou,” Yuan Zhou said,””But I have another idea.”
