After saying “accept the mission” in his mind, Yuan Zhou put the mission of “Master of Masters” into his bag and prepared to complete it when the opportunity arose.
“System, my little comrade, you’ve been very diligent recently.” Yuan Zhou teased.
The system displayed,”the purpose of the system’s master chef system is to help the host learn both Chinese and Western cuisine and become the master chef.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I know your goal. After all, this is also my goal now.” Yuan Zhou answered quite seriously.
The system displayed,[host, please continue to work hard. The system has high hopes for you to become the first master chef in the history of the system.]
“First place? Have you never done it before?” Yuan Zhou asked curiously.
However, by this time, the system had already disappeared. It had no reaction and pretended not to hear anything.
“You always play dead. Can you change your method next time?” Yuan Zhou said helplessly after waiting for a while.
However, the system still didn’t answer him, so Yuan Zhou gave up. When he received the big upgrade gift bag last time, Yuan Zhou already had an answer in his heart. He asked the system again just to verify it.
It was getting late. Yuan Zhou directly went upstairs to wash up and then began to prepare the ingredients for the dinner. After all, the dinner was about to arrive.
As he needed to guide dashi xiujie in the afternoon, Yuan Zhou arranged the meeting with Yin ya to be after the dinner.
Therefore, as soon as dinner time ended and su Ruoyan and Mao Ye finished their shift, Yuan Zhou went upstairs to wash up.
After washing up, Yuan Zhou changed into the sky-blue casual clothes and put on the pair of custom-made shoes. Then, he went downstairs and waited for Yin ya at the back door.
Yuan Zhou arrived just in time. Yin ya’s footsteps were about to reach the back door. Without waiting for her to knock, Yuan Zhou directly opened the back door.
“Good evening,” she said. Yuan Zhou said.
“Did you come here to wait again?” Yin ya reached out her hand to hold Yuan Zhou’s hand and reproached him.
“I can come in by myself. Did you forget that you gave me the key?” Yin ya patted the small bag beside her and said.
“No, I just arrived. I wanted to open the door for you.” Yuan Zhou held Yin ya’s hand and walked into the courtyard.
“Okay, shall we eat now?” Yin ya said.
“Alright,” he said. After a nod, Yuan Zhou led them to the small table.
The roses were still in full bloom, and they looked particularly beautiful in the night. The small lights on the roadside reflected the petals, which were very beautiful. The dining table was placed there, and it looked particularly romantic.
“I like it very much. Thank you, blockhead.” Looking at the newly placed table, Yin ya tilted her head and kissed Yuan Zhou’s face lightly.
“Well, it’s good that you like it.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head gently with the corner of his mouth and then led Yin ya to sit down.
After arranging a seat for Yin ya, Yuan Zhou didn’t sit opposite to her. Instead, he got up and went to the first floor of the pub to get something and then came back quickly.
“What’s wrong?” Yin ya supported her head with her hand and asked Yuan Zhou curiously.
Yuan Zhou didn’t answer her. Instead, he directly took out the camera in his hand and pointed it at Yin ya. After taking a photo, he said,””I want to take a picture with you. You looked really good just now.”
“Pfft.” Yin ya couldn’t help laughing and then said,”Blockhead, you’ve learned a lot of things recently.”
“Yes, I’ve been working hard.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head earnestly and said.
“You’ve worked hard. ” Yin ya stood up and walked to Yuan Zhou on her own initiative and took the camera from his hand.
“Let’s take a photo. ” Yin ya said warmly.
“Alright,” he said. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then put his arm around Yin ya’s shoulder and looked at her sideways.
Meanwhile, Yin ya smiled sweetly at the camera and the photo was taken with a click.
Soon, a completely white photo was spat out. Yuan Zhou carefully placed the photo on a flat area at the side and then started to have dinner with Yin ya.
The dishes for dinner were still Yin ya’s favorite dishes. After the main course, Yuan Zhou didn’t forget to serve the desserts.
Again, Yin ya looked at the desserts hesitantly and then at Yuan Zhou. In the end, she couldn’t resist the temptation of Yuan Zhou’s desserts and ate up a small piece of the low fat and sugar milk cake.
“You can’t make cakes for me anymore, I’ll really get fat!” Yin ya said discontentedly.
“It’s fine, I like it no matter how fat or thin it is. ” Yuan Zhou said while looking at Yin ya attentively.
“You …” Yin ya complained and then didn’t say anything more.
“Do you want to go with me to take a look at the postcards sent back by Ling Hong and the others?” Yuan Zhou asked.”There are already many of them.”
“Alright.” Yin ya agreed without even thinking.
“I’ll Take You There. It’s upstairs. ” Yuan Zhou stood up and held Yin ya’s hand.
“Um. I can take a look at the clean and tidy room of chef Yuan.” Yin ya said mischievously.
“Alright,” he said. Yuan Zhou nodded his head earnestly and answered.
The two of them quickly passed through the courtyard in the middle and came to the door. They entered the stairs at the back of the kitchen from the back door on the other side.
“The stairs look really narrow.” Yin ya said.
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll hold your hand. ” Yuan Zhou led the way in the front while Yin ya followed behind him. Soon, the two of them went up the stairs and came to the door of Yuan Zhou’s room.
The wooden staircase and wooden door looked particularly ordinary. The two doors were close to each other, forming a long and narrow corridor. The door at the end of the corridor was closed.
However, it looked very clean as a whole. Even the corners of the stairs that he walked up were clean and bright, just like the shop below.
“This is my parents” room. It’s not tidied up. This is my room. ” Yuan Zhou introduced.
“Yes, I’m looking forward to it.” Yin ya held Yuan Zhou’s hand and said.
“It’s actually very simple,” Yuan Zhou directly opened the door. The space inside wasn’t big and he could see everything at a glance.
There were many things on the shelf on the left-hand side. At the end of the shelf was a single wooden wardrobe. The window opposite had curtains drawn, and under the curtains was a simple low cabinet.
On the right was an ordinary bed slightly larger than a single bed. The blanket and sheets were neat and tidy, as if she had never slept in it.
The bedside table was next to the door, with a computer on top and a few books on the bottom.
The most special thing about it was the watch that hung on the wall.
It really didn’t match the overall simple room, so Yin ya took a few glances at it.
“Ahem, I can’t bring these when I cook. I’ll just use them as a clock. They’re okay.” Yuan Zhou tilted his head and coughed before saying.
Yin ya smiled and didn’t ask further. She just nodded her head.
“Let’s take a look at the postcards. ” Yuan Zhou walked over quickly and took out an exquisite wooden box from the shelf.
The wooden box was the size of a dictionary, with beautiful lotus patterns painted on it. The top and bottom sides were connected together by a buckle. It looked as if it was made by Yuan Zhou himself.
“What a beautiful box. You carved it yourself again, right?” Yin ya said.
“Yes, if you like it, I’ll make you a jewelry box next time.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Okay, this will be my next birthday present. I like it.” Yin ya nodded her head.
Yuan Zhou agreed with a nod and then opened the lid of the box, revealing the postcard inside.
There were eight postcards in total, each from a different place and written in different words. Although they were short, they were full of happiness.
He took all of them out at once and handed them to Yin ya. Yin ya read them one by one very carefully.
“Brother Ling and little Qing should be very happy now,” Yin ya said after she finished reading it.
“Yeah, they’re very happy.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
“That’s why I want to go out with you once a year and leave a picture of us. ” Yuan Zhou looked at Yin ya and said quite seriously.
“Alright, we’ll go out every year.” Yin ya nodded her head heavily.
“We’ll start in China and slowly move on to the rest of the world. So, where do you want to go this year, ya?” Yuan Zhou said.
“Let’s go somewhere closer. After all, your shop is here. ” Yin ya said.
“Alright, let’s start from the nearest one.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Thank you, blockhead.” Yin ya said softly.
“No, I should be the one thanking you.” Yuan Zhou said while holding Yin ya.
That’s right. After Yuan Zhou received Ling Hong’s name cards one after another, he suddenly realized that he had spent too little time with Yin ya. He only had time to meet her every day, but he had never seen her on purpose.
They had been together for so long that they barely went out for a date, so few that they could be counted with one hand. However, Yin ya had never complained. She put his restaurant and his cooking career as the most important thing. Even in order to let him have more rest, she always went back alone and rarely asked him to send her home.
When Yuan Zhou received the name card and looked at Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing, he couldn’t help thinking of his own parents and Yin ya’s sacrifice. That was why he made such a decision.
Lowering his head and looking at Yin ya’s happy smile, Yuan Zhou felt at ease and began to plan for going out secretly.
