After the breakfast time ended, Yuan Zhou habitually sat in the shady place by the door and began to practice sculpting.
It was a must for Yuan Zhou to practice diligently every day. The passing tourists and the customers waiting for lunch peeked at Yuan Zhou from time to time out of curiosity and admiration, but they didn’t go up to disturb him.
The first one was to travel to Chengdu. All the guides indicated that one could see Yuan Zhou at Taoxi road, but they didn’t allow anyone to disturb him.
Secondly, the people from the queuing Committee were not to be trifled with. Once someone had the intention to disturb them, they would stop them in time and in a low voice.
Of course, they wouldn’t care about the people that Yuan Zhou knew.
For example, master Cheng who had arrived in a hurry.
“Master.” Master Cheng said while looking at the moment when Yuan Zhou stopped his hand.
“Eh? You’ve finished your homework?” Yuan Zhou asked habitually.
Master Cheng instantly felt his scalp tighten. The hand that was holding the box couldn’t help but tighten. No matter how many times he heard this, the pressure on his body didn’t decrease at all.
“No, I’m here to give you the recipe. My homework is still being perfected. I’m definitely not slacking off.” Master Cheng said solemnly.
“That’s good. ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and didn’t say anything.
“Master, look. These are the recipes that the four boys forced into our hands. Take a look.” Master Cheng delivered the box to Yuan Zhou obediently and said. He had told Yuan Zhou that he would deliver the box to Yuan Zhou as soon as he received it.
“Alright, I’ve received the item.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then turned his head to look at the teahouse not far away.
There, Hao Cheng, Huang Fei, Liu Li, and Wang Qiang were looking over nervously.
When they saw Yuan Zhou nodding at them, they immediately stood up and saluted him back.
Hao Cheng’s group of four had really put in a lot of effort. It should be known that it had only been a day since master Cheng had ‘chatted’ with them in private until the ancient recipe had fallen into his hands.
For something as precious as an ancient recipe, even if it was a photocopy, it was impossible for it to be delivered by express delivery. Therefore, it must have been sent by a ‘human express delivery’.
“See, I didn’t lie to you. They’re just being too polite. I told you, master, you wouldn’t care about these things.” Master Cheng said immediately.
“Alright, I know.” Yuan Zhou appeared serious on the surface, but he couldn’t help laughing in his heart. This scene seemed to be familiar.
After all, it was rare for master Cheng to show such a shameless manner. He only did that because he really regarded Yuan Zhou as his elder and master.
Although their ages were a little reversed, this scene was still quite harmonious.
“I should’ve perfected it earlier. Send it over.” Yuan Zhou instructed him and then sent master Cheng away.
“Yes, Master. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely do better this time.” Master Cheng nodded his head and answered earnestly.
“Yes, go ahead.” Yuan Zhou waved his hand.
“Thank you, master,” Master Cheng nodded his head and then took a few steps back. Then, he turned around and left.
After master Cheng left, Yuan Zhou didn’t put away the menu immediately. Instead, he carefully sculpted the seven fairy maidens and put them away. Then, he took the box and turned around to go back to the restaurant.
That’s right. Recently, Yuan Zhou had been sculpting the seven celestial goddesses. The reason was naturally because of Yin ya’s casual remark that she wanted to see if the seven celestial goddesses in the myths were more beautiful than the paintings of court ladies.
After he returned to the restaurant, Yuan Zhou went upstairs with the box.
Yuan Zhou didn’t open the box until he went upstairs to his room.
The box was made of expensive lacquered wood. It had a bright reddish-brown color and was about the length of two palms. It was rectangular in shape and had simple carvings of flowers, birds, fish, and insects on it. It looked very exquisite.
If he didn’t open it, others would think that it was a girl’s jewelry.
The design of the clasp made it easy to open. Inside lay four thin thread-bound books. They seemed to be from the modern era. The paper was a little yellow, but each book had a different style.
“They actually sent an original ancient book?” Yuan Zhou was a little surprised.
That’s right. Yuan Zhou had originally thought it would be a handwritten recipe book, but he had never expected it to be an original ancient book.
“That’s very thoughtful of you. ” Yuan Zhou took out the book carefully and flipped through it slightly.
As he was in a hurry, Yuan Zhou didn’t intend to read it carefully. But at that time, the system suddenly jumped out.
[Triggered mission] the host should collect 10 ancient recipe recipes. (Incomplete)
[Mission progress] 7/10
(Progress tips: our goal is to make ten, ten ancient recipes. Host, please continue to work hard. Work hard, young man.)
[Mission reward] ten ancient recipes (Unreleased)
(Reward tips: in addition to the recipe, there’s also the note of the creator of the dish, the ingredients of the corresponding dish that should be restored as much as possible, and the creator’s note for the host to collect the recipe. What are you waiting for with such a generous reward? go and complete the mission, young man.)
“Long time no see, system.” Yuan Zhou greeted the system affectionately. It had indeed been a long time since he had seen the system.
However, in the face of Yuan Zhou’s sudden kindness, the system didn’t respond for a long time. No one knew whether it was afraid of being cheated by Yuan Zhou or it was a little inflexible because it had been silent for a long time.
Fortunately, Yuan Zhou was never a stingy person. He didn’t care whether the system replied to him or not. He stroked his chin and said,””Looks like I’ll have to find time to complete this mission. After all, the reward is very attractive.”
The system displayed,[host, please work hard to complete the task.]
“Eh? System, you’re still here. ” Yuan Zhou asked in surprise.
However, the system disappeared again after giving this encouragement.
Yuan Zhou looked at himself in the mirror and muttered to himself,””Maybe I’ve been too handsome recently. They say that a man in love is the most handsome, so the system is a little embarrassed to look at me directly.”
While muttering that, Yuan Zhou took up the washing utensils and went to wash up. After all, he was going to prepare the ingredients for lunch.
It was lunchtime at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant very soon. At that time, the teahouse was filled with people one after another, when it was the most crowded.
Because according to the rules of the queuing Committee, customers who were beyond the reception range were not allowed to surround the entrance of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.
In this way, the congestion of the entire Street was effectively avoided. However, as Yuan Zhou’s reputation grew, more and more people came to see the business of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant and more and more people tried to line up.
Therefore, the teahouses became popular.
Of course, this also led to the popularity of the surrounding shops. After all, this was a place where people gathered.
This was also the reason why there was only one homestay on Taoxi road. It was because opening other shops would make more money.
Soon, as Zhou Jia announced the opening time for lunch, the first 16 customers swarmed into the restaurant.
Yuan Zhou was standing in the kitchen and slightly nodded his head to the customers who entered the restaurant,””Welcome,”
The current Yuan Zhou was exactly the same as the first day he opened the restaurant.
In fact, it could not be said that there were no changes. There were still changes. From the beginning, he was a little nervous, to the current self-confidence and calmness, as well as the facial paralysis that was well-controlled.
Soon, the customers began to order, and Hao Cheng’s group of four was no exception.
As the organizer, Hao Cheng was still very gentlemanly. Every time, he would let the other three order first, and he would be the last to order.
“I’d like a plate of stir-fried water bamboo and a plate of fried dough sinew with meat. ” Hao Cheng said.
“Do you need rice?” Zhou Jia asked habitually.
“I’ll have a bowl. ” Hao Cheng thought for a second and then said.
“Okay, please pay first. The dishes will be served shortly.” Zhou Jia said.
“I’ve already transferred the money. ” Hao Cheng took out his phone and showed Zhou Jia the transaction record.
“Please wait a moment.” After saying that, Zhou Jia left.
At this time, Hao Cheng turned his head and explained.”The sauce from the beef and beef is very good for the rice. You can also order some rice.”
Hao Cheng was explaining why he had ordered rice. After all, he had agreed to eat more vegetables than rice.
However, after hearing Hao Cheng’s explanation, Huang Fei and the other two also added a bowl of rice to their orders.
“I wonder how delicious this tin-free dish will be cooked by boss Yuan.” Hao Cheng was secretly looking forward to it.
Of course, what he looked forward to the most was the ingredient used in the meat. What kind of ingredient would Yuan Zhou use?
