Chapter 2422: Yuan Zhou is already engaged
Translator: 549690339
There had been a heavy rain last night, but it was clear in the morning. Although the sun seemed to be hiding in the clouds, the chirping of the birds was very pleasant.
Since there were many trees on Taoxi road, many birds had set up camp here. When they were in a good mood, they felt that the birds ‘chirping was pleasant to the ear, but when they were in a bad mood, they thought it was just noise. Fortunately, most people who came to Taoxi road were in a good mood.
“Good Morning, boss Yuan,”
The neighbors who pa.s.sed by greeted each other. Yuan Zhou also responded to everyone’s enthusiasm with a gentle expression and ran at the same time without delay.
Yin ya was also sleeping in the restaurant today. Therefore, in order to prepare breakfast for her, Yuan Zhou jogged past the noodle restaurant and told the boss of the noodle restaurant that he would be eating the noodles. After that, he didn’t go there to eat breakfast.
“Boss Yuan is so happy recently. Young man, you must work hard.” The owner of the instant noodles shop said with a smile.
Yuan Zhou felt that his boss’s smile was a little strange, but he himself felt that he had been very happy recently. As soon as he woke up, he could see Yin ya’s sleeping pretty face. This kind of happiness was hard to describe with words. Therefore, when he heard his boss’s words, he politely said thank you and then ran away.
Considering that Yin ya was going to work soon, the dishes prepared were mainly simple and concise. After roasting the bird’s nest, Yuan Zhou planned to make some steamed buns to go with the bird’s nest so that Yin ya could take it away.
He had to finish it before Yin ya got up. After all, he might not have time to talk to Yin ya when the breakfast time started. Yuan Zhou sped up a lot, just to finish it as soon as possible.
By the time Yin ya got up, the breakfast time had already started.
“It feels so good to be able to eat breakfast without having to line up.” Yin ya muttered.
Thinking of the days when she had to line up for breakfast, Yin ya felt that she couldn’t bear to recall the past. She decided to live here from now on. This way, it was closer and she could sleep longer. She felt very happy just thinking about it without having to line up early to eat breakfast.
“The next season of the sports meet is coming up. I still have to train.” Yin ya thought silently in her heart.
For the sake of the master chef Restaurant and Yuan Zhou’s face, he had to get a reward. Yin ya had always valued this dish very much, not because she wanted to win the reward, but because she wanted to represent the master chef Restaurant in a compet.i.tion and get a good ranking.
After all, it was a compet.i.tion organized by the restaurant itself, so it would be quite sad if they didn’t even get a ranking.
Of course, Yuan Zhou didn’t have such an idea, but Yin ya did. Besides, ever since Yuan Zhou met w.a.n.g Jike, he felt that it was good for a chef to exercise. Usually, for the sake of Yin ya’s health, he would let her exercise with him. On one hand, it was to increase the time they could spend together. On the other hand, it was to hope that Yin ya’s health could be healthier.
No matter what the reason was, as long as Yin ya started to exercise, Yuan Zhou would always support her.
After seeing Yin ya off, Yuan Zhou concentrated on managing the breakfast time of the restaurant. Although they didn’t say anything just now, Yuan Zhou felt that it was good enough to just take a look at Yin ya.
After sending off the last customer, Yuan Zhou finally had some free time. After su Ruoyan, who was going to say goodbye, also left, Yuan Zhou didn’t rush to practice his knife skills or read the books related to cooking. Instead, he just waited in the restaurant.
Soon, a series of hurried footsteps could be heard.”Ta ta ta ta” sounds indicated the owner’s urgency.
Very soon, Cheng zhaomei’s chubby face appeared in front of Yuan Zhou. She probably really came here. Therefore, she was panting heavily and felt very tired. But in order to respect Yuan Zhou, Cheng zhaomei panted heavily at the door for a few times and only walked in after her breath evened out.
“Good Morning, master. I’m sorry I’m late,” Cheng zhaomei was very embarra.s.sed.
In fact, he didn’t come late on purpose. He just came late because he was waiting for someone. After all, Cheng zhaomei had to come on time to see Yuan Zhou so that she wouldn’t waste his time.
“It’s fine. It’s just a minute. It’s not long. Be careful next time.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Hahaha, head chef Yuan, I hope you don’t mind. President Cheng was late because he was waiting for me. I’m really sorry.” Zhang Ji’s familiar voice came from outside the door.
Very quickly, his figure appeared at the entrance of the store. As he came against the light, his true appearance could not be seen clearly. However, after entering the store, one could clearly see the slight awkwardness and shyness on Zhang Ye’s face.
Of course, this was also because Yuan Zhou had good eyesight. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to tell. After all, Zhang Yan’s ability to keep himself calm was quite good.
“It’s fine. It’s about the same time. Uncle Zhang, you don’t have to mind.” Yuan Zhou stood up and greeted Zhang Yan, then led him to the backyard.
Yuan Zhou had already prepared a pot of tea there, as Cheng zhaomei had already called him yesterday to make an appointment for today.
As an apprentice, Cheng zhaomei silently followed her master’s pace without being told. The three of them walked toward Sakurai shrimp wall together.
There was indeed a reason for Zhang Yan’s late arrival today. To be specific, this reason was related to Yuan Zhou.
Not long after Zhang Yan and Zhou s.h.i.+jie got to know Yuan Zhou, they started to treat him as a junior of their own family. They were usually very close to him.
Of course, it was also because they regarded Yuan Zhou as their nephew that Zhang Yan’s daughter, Zhang Ying, and Zhou s.h.i.+jie’s son, Zhou Xi, suffered a misfortune after Yuan Zhou’s engagement ceremony. They were almost of the same age. Even Yuan Zhou, who was so busy, had gotten engaged, but the two of them were still the same person. Therefore, after Zhang Yan went back, he hastened to arrange blind dates for Zhang Ying. Today was a good day.
He had originally arranged for his wife to accompany his daughter to see her. It didn’t have to be the one today, but he hoped that Zhang Ying would think about it.
He didn’t expect Zhang Ying to play tricks and almost run away after deceiving his wife, so Zhang San had to personally send her to the agreed place.
Hence, he was a little late.
However, Zhang Yan wouldn’t say such things. It wasn’t because he felt embarra.s.sed, but because he didn’t want to waste Yuan Zhou’s precious time on such unimportant things.
Actually, Zhang Ying did not know that she was considered lucky. At least she had a successful career. In Zhang Ye’s eyes, she had some merits.
Zhou Xi, on the other hand, was in a miserable state. Although he was now running around with Zheng Jiawei, he had not reached the standard of Zheng Jiawei’s master. The things he dealt with by himself were not very important. In Zhou s.h.i.+jie’s eyes, he had nothing to do all day. Moreover, he was still single. After Yuan Zhou got engaged, the days of suffering immediately unfolded in full swing again.
This was also the reason why Zhou Xi didn’t appear behind Wu Hai for several days. It wasn’t because he had gone out to handle some business again, but because he had been trapped by Wu Hai.
“Uncle Zhang, you said yesterday that you had something important to do. What is it?” Yuan Zhou asked after Zhang Yan sat down.
Ever since Zhang Yan stepped down from the position of Chairman of the Sichuan cuisine a.s.sociation, Yuan Zhou had been calling him uncle Zhang. This was mainly because Zhang Yan was trying to compare himself with Zhou s.h.i.+jie. After all, one was uncle Zhou while the other was Chairman Zhang. It was clear at a glance whether they were close or not.
