“I’ve contacted sister su, but she hasn’t come yet. I’ll definitely come to help during the day. School hasn’t started yet, so I have nothing to do. Boss won’t say no, right?” Mao Ye’s tone was a little pitiful.
It had to be said that the small Tavern was quite a training place, and the shy temperament was much better.
When they contacted each other last night, he seemed to have said that he would come to help tomorrow, but he did not say whether it would be in the morning or at night.
“This morning’s breakfast is a bowl of zhajiangmian for each of us.” After Yuan Zhou said that, he went back to the kitchen and considered that he had accepted Mao Ye’s explanation.
“Don’t worry, boss. ” Mao Ye replied loudly.
“Creak!”
After getting Yuan Zhou’s permission, Mao Ye turned around and opened the other half of the wooden door briskly. Then, he stood at the door.
“It’s time for breakfast. The first 16 customers, please come in for your meal.” Mao Ye cleared his throat and said in a serious manner.
Even though she had not taken over su Ruoyan’s shift in the morning, she had done her homework in advance. Hence, she did not feel that it was awkward, and instead, she seemed to be quite familiar with it.
As soon as Mao Ye’s voice fell, the first to respond was definitely Wu Hai and Zhou Xi. As soon as they entered the restaurant, they went straight to their usual seats, sat down, and began to order their dishes.
“I’ll have breakfast,” Wu Hai said directly.
“Eh, Mao Ye actually appeared in the morning. I’ll have one too.” Zhou Xi followed closely behind.
Wu Hai didn’t care about anything else but the food.
“Alright, please wait a moment.”
Mao Ye took note of the customers “requests earnestly and then turned around to walk to the partition. He reported the customers” requests to Yuan Zhou clearly and precisely.
When old customers asked about su Ruoyan, Mao Ye would patiently explain the reason. He did a good job.
With Mao Ye’s help, many customers asked about it. Of course, what they were most interested in was the breakfast prepared by Yuan Zhou. If they could eat two bowls of it, it would be the happiest moment in their lives.
Unfortunately, a compass was a compass!
After Mao Ye returned to the store to help out, time passed by even faster. In the blink of an eye, it was already the afternoon of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
There was still a little time before the time to prepare the ingredients for dinner every day. Yuan Zhou had already packed up the things he needed to pack, including several sets of clothes and the new year goods and gifts for Yin ya’s family.
The gifts were a foot spa basin with a massage function that Yin ya had bought with her and the chess pieces that Yuan Zhou had spent a lot of effort to carve. They had been carefully packaged and put into a box. For the first time, Yuan Zhou had brought two boxes with him when he went out.
“What should I write?” Yuan Zhou fiddled with the white paper in his hand and didn’t know how to write.
The familiar paper and the familiar size. This was the paper used every time to write a leave of absence. No matter the merchants or diners in Taoxi road, they absolutely hated this paper with no exception.
What Yuan Zhou was struggling with now was how to phrase his words more tactfully so that the customers could accept it more easily.
There were no points that the customer couldn’t accept.
“Forget it, I’ll just write it as it is.” He didn’t think for too long before he directly started writing and simply and roughly wrote that he would take two days off.
It was mainly because Yuan Zhou found there were no holidays to write on the calendar when he checked it. Therefore, he had to come here directly.
He meticulously cooked the dishes until the dinner time was over. After Yuan Zhou sent the customers away, he told Mao Ye about it.
“I’ll be leaving in a while. Little Mao, if you need anything, you can call these people. I’ve already settled everything.” Yuan Zhou handed a piece of paper with several names and phone numbers written on it to Mao Ye.
There were several names on the paper. Without exception, all of them had the same characteristic that they were not in Chengdu. Yuan Zhou had also just told them about Mao Ye’s matter.
“Okay boss, I got it. You can rest assured! I’m already very familiar with this. I’ll take good care of the customers and check the doors and windows. ” Mao Ye said very seriously.
“I’ll be leaving first. ” While saying that, Yuan Zhou carried the two boxes in his hands and walked towards the back door.
After he gave them the dry food he had prepared for broth and the rice, he walked toward the taxi he had called earlier.
At first, broth was still feeling a little insatiable and didn’t want to move. But just like what the doctor had said, it gradually recovered after two days. However, for the sake of safety, Yuan Zhou made vegetable biscuits for the rice and broth. They were fluffy, crunchy and easy to digest.
While Yuan Zhou was walking away elegantly, Wu Hai seemed to have recovered from his shock and rushed into the restaurant. When he saw Mao Ye, he was startled.
After asking Mao Ye, they got to know the reason why Yuan Zhou asked for leave.
“Meeting your mother-in-law is indeed a big deal. Wu Hai, you can’t make trouble. You’re already a mature rice bucket. You can’t make trouble. You have to stay here well for the next two days.” Wu Hai muttered to himself while squatting at the corner of the wall.
It was Mao Ye’s first time to see Wu Hai talking to himself. It was a little scary.
“Uncle Wu, do you want to sit down for a while?” Mao Ye stepped forward and asked tentatively.
“No need. Are you the only one in the shop?” Wu Hai asked.
“Yes, the boss has already instructed me.” Mao Ye said.
“The pub time is about to start. You go get ready, I’ll sit here for a while.” Wu Hai waved his hand weakly.
“Alright,” he said. Mao Ye took a careful look at Wu Hai and went to the small pub on the second floor after he confirmed that Wu Hai was fine.
Mao Ye planned to clean up the second floor first, and then put the sober-up set meal on the table. As long as one came to the master chef Restaurant to drink, they would definitely want the sober-up set meal.
As long as it was something cooked by Yuan Zhou, no one would complain about having too much. Therefore, the sobering set meal would be prepared in advance every time. Of course, this was also related to the fact that the sobering set meal was made up of desserts. Moreover, if there was no selection, it was always a set. Therefore, it was okay to prepare it in advance.
Wu Hai sat in the restaurant on behalf of Yuan Zhou and solidified his reputation as the divine beast of the restaurant. On the other side, Yuan Zhou had already arrived at the airport, handled the registration procedures, and was waiting to board the plane.
Naturally, he had to inform Yin ya about the waiting time. Yuan Zhou took out his phone and started to send a message to Yin ya.
“Xiaoya, we will be boarding soon. I will tell you when I get off the plane. You don’t have to pick me up. I will tell you when we reach the hotel.”
“It’s good that you’re here. Has the store explained everything clearly? will little Mao have a problem by himself?”
Yin ya was quite familiar with Mao Ye, because she often went out with Yuan Zhou at night for some alone time and thus needed Mao Ye to stay in the restaurant alone.
[I have already told Jiang Changxi and boss Wu that they will help us if we really need anything.]
[It’s good that you’ve made the arrangements, blockhead. You can rest for a while, then let me know when you arrive.]
Yin ya knew that Yuan Zhou had always been very busy. When he had some spare time, she just wanted him to take a rest.
[Alright, you can go back to your work.]
Knowing that Yin ya was having dinner with the others at home, Yuan Zhou didn’t talk much. After putting down the phone, he closed his eyes and began to simulate the scene of meeting the parents in his mind.
It was time to board the plane very soon. Yuan Zhou got on the plane very easily and naturally sat in the first class cabin, which was the standard for a rich Prince Charming.
“Two and a half hours. That’s enough for me to run the simulation several times.” After Yuan Zhou sat down, he closed his eyes and continued to ponder.
……
[PS: Yuan Zhou wants to see his mother-in-law. Everyone, please give him a round of applause.]
