When Yuan Zhou walked back to the second floor of the pub, everyone had already started chatting with each other. Moreover, someone had brought the projector to the white wall of the bar counter and was broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala.
“Little boss, you’re up. Are you done with your work in the shop?” The granny was the first one to notice Yuan Zhou and greeted him with a smile.
Following the Granny’s greeting, everyone turned their heads and looked at Yuan Zhou. Yuan Zhou nodded to them calmly and then said,””I’ll bring out some snacks. “
“That’s good. I’ll be waiting for you. ” Wu Hai said without any politeness.
“Do you need my help?” Zheng Jiawei asked consciously.
“I can do that too. Isn’t that right, boss Yuan?” Jiang Changxi pointed at her red lips. The last syllable of the word “boss” was still very long.
“No need,” Yuan Zhou refused flatly. But when he thought it was Chinese New Year’s Eve today, he said slowly,””There aren’t many things, I can do it myself.”
“Then let me know if you need my help.” Jiang Changxi said.
“Boss Yuan, thank you for your hard work.” Zheng Jiawei said.
Yuan Zhou nodded his head slightly and then directly went to get the snacks from the bar counter without saying anything.
“Boss Yuan, do you have any plums? little Qing likes to eat them.” Ling Hong asked honestly and impolitely.
“There is.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then conveniently took out a plate and put it on the tray at the side.
There were really a lot of snacks on the tray. There were all kinds of animal biscuits, dried fruits, dried fruits that he fried himself, some braised snacks, and the brewed plum that Ling Hong had requested just now.
It was simple to ask where Yuan Zhou got so many snacks from. It was because she had been drinking the bottle of wine as a return gift for Yin ya for almost three months.
That was to say, Yin ya had been coming to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant almost every day for the past three months. As a result, the number of snacks in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant had increased.
Of course, these snacks were all prepared by Yuan Zhou himself and stored there.
There were so many snacks. This time, Yuan Zhou didn’t follow the rules. Instead, he filled up four trays with the snacks. Only then did he stand up and begin to serve the snacks to each table.
During this period, the diligent Zheng Jiawei and Jiang Changxi still came to help.
After the snacks were laid out, the atmosphere in the tavern became even more lively. Everyone was either chatting in low voices, or watching the Spring Festival Gala together, and sometimes even talking about some interesting things.
The atmosphere was very harmonious. Even the old Grandma and Grandpa who came here for the first time were very harmonious with it. Moreover, due to their knowledge, they could talk about art with a great artist like Wu Hai and also talk about sports with Xia Yu.
They could even talk about money with Ling Hong and even exchange a few words with Gabriel from France. It could be said that the two old men were experienced and knew everything. They were also cheerful, lively, and talkative.
Everyone who was working on New Year’s Eve was very happy. Even Gabriel, who had experienced such a Festival for the first time, was very satisfied.
When the clock struck midnight, the oldest Grandpa and Grandma present took out several small red packets from somewhere and gave one to each of them.
Even Yuan Zhou had received one red packet, and it was the biggest one.
The word “biggest” meant “biggest” literally. The others received red packets from the smaller red packets, but Yuan Zhou received the traditional big red packet. With a pinch, he knew that the money wasn’t much. Therefore, Yuan Zhou accepted it without any hesitation and thanked him seriously.
After giving out the red packets, the two elders began to say goodbye and left.
Then, Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing left. The two of them were driven away by Yuan Zhou.
After all, Yuan Zhou was clear about ruan Xiaoqing’s health. It was better not to stay up late if possible.
Ling Hong left with her very happily. The reason for his happiness was very simple. It was already so late. Even if ruan Xiaoqing didn’t agree, he would still send her back.
Wouldn’t this be another chance to get along?
Then, Gabriel also said goodbye and left, followed by Xia Yu. In the end, Wu Hai intended to leave last, but he was dragged away by Zheng Jiawei.
In the end, only Jiang Changxi and Yuan Zhou were left in the restaurant.
“Happy New Year, the snacks are delicious.” Jiang Changxi leaned against the door frame and said with her head tilted.
“Well, Happy New Year. Is master Bai here?” Yuan Zhou said.
“We’re here. They’re waiting at the intersection. ” Jiang Changxi flicked the loose hair beside her ears and said.
“See you next year.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Alright, see you next year.” Jiang Changxi smiled like a red rose in full bloom. With her black hair, she looked very enchanting.
Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou just nodded his head and prepared to see her off with his eyes.
“Ta ta ta.” Jiang Changxi stood up and walked into the dark night with her high heels.
After a few steps, Jiang Changxi suddenly stopped and slightly tilted her head. From where Yuan Zhou was standing, he could see her side face that was as white as Jade and her rosy lips.
“After you and Yin ya get together, you will have to treat me. I have spent a lot of effort on that.” Jiang Changxi said with a smile.
“Sure, no problem.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head solemnly and answered.
“Let’s go. You should go back early too. My car is at the intersection. ” Jiang Changxi waved her hand to Yuan Zhou with her back facing him and walked out of Taoxi road quickly.
As usual, Yuan Zhou didn’t enter the restaurant again and went back upstairs until the car drove away after he saw them get on the car.
After returning upstairs with his phone in hand, Yuan Zhou couldn’t help looking at the room where his parents used to stay and said softly,””Another year has passed. Time sure flies.”
After saying that, Yuan Zhou took his phone and went back to his room.
Of course, as soon as he entered the restaurant, Yuan Zhou sat at the desk and replied to the messages.
As a patient with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, Yuan Zhou opened all the apps that displayed the unread messages and read them carefully from QQ to WeChat messages. Then, he replied “Happy New Year” to all of them.
Due to the phone, it was already very late when Yuan Zhou went to bed again.
However, as he had to open the restaurant as usual the next day, Yuan Zhou fell asleep very quickly.
The sky in Chengdu seemed to know that there would be a Festival recently. Therefore, Yuan Zhou got up and looked at the sky outside. The morning light was slightly bright and the sky was suffused with a faint orange color.
“It seems that the weather has been good recently. The temperature has also risen.” Yuan Zhou sighed with emotion while jogging downstairs.
The first day of Chinese New Year was the time for people to visit their relatives and friends. However, the number of people coming to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant for breakfast didn’t decrease. It was just that there were more people in pajamas and cotton pants than usual.
As soon as these people came, they lined up in the same way as Wu Hai, which also gave them a more festive atmosphere.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yuan Zhou was busy in the restaurant. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, he was also busy and there were even more customers.
On the early morning of the third day of Chinese New Year, Yuan Zhou saw master Cheng’s family waiting at the door as soon as he opened the door. They had received the festival gift from their apprentice.
This time, Yuan Zhou fulfilled Cheng Han’s wish and gave her a red packet.
In the afternoon, Yuan Zhou also went to deliver the New Year’s gift to Carpenter Lian. Then, he came back and continued to prepare dinner.
There were more and more customers on the fourth, fifth, and sixth days of Chinese New Year, and there were fewer and fewer people in pajamas lining up to eat. It was slowly restored to its bright and beautiful side.
This didn’t include Wu Hai.
It could be said that Taoxi road was as lively as it was during the new year. No, it was even livelier than usual.
