Chapter 1687: Showing off turns into a tragedy

Translator: 549690339

While Yuan Zhou was cooking the rotten noodles in the iron pot, he was busy cooking other dishes. Meanwhile, Shuxin was waiting quietly in the corner. She didn’t look at her phone, but instead looked at the kitchen carefully from time to time.

However, Shuxin was not tall. Even if she sat on the high chair, she could not see the pot inside. Moreover, she sniffed hard but could not smell the fragrance of the burnt noodles.

Or rather, she didn’t smell anything.

“I wonder if it’ll be the same as what I ate when I was young.” Shu Xin was a little worried.

Actually, Shuxin wasn’t worried that Yuan Zhou’s food wouldn’t taste good or wasn’t authentic. She was just worried that it wouldn’t be the same as what she had eaten when she was young.

Although it was Shuxin’s first time to visit Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, she had naturally heard of Yuan Zhou’s well-known reputation in Chengdu.

Even if Shu Xin looked at Yuan Zhou cooking from time to time, her behavior was not abrupt at all, because all the customers at the scene basically did the same.

20 minutes pa.s.sed by very quickly. Yuan Zhou carried out a white porcelain bowl of about 200 grams and put it directly into the tray. At the same time, he also conveniently placed a pair of chopsticks and a white porcelain spoon on the tray.

Su Ruoyan, who was standing at the side, quickly picked up the tray and walked towards Shu Xin.

“Here’s your scrumptious noodles, please enjoy. ” As su Ruoyan spoke, she took out the bowl and cutlery and placed them in front of her.

“Thank you,” he said. Shu Xin said in a low voice.

“You’re welcome,” After su Ruoyan finished speaking, she took the tray and left.

At this time, Shu Xin looked at the bowl of noodles in front of her seriously.

It was a white porcelain bowl that could be held with both hands. There were beautiful and elegant flowers painted on the outside, and it looked very high-end.

Inside was a bowl of mashed noodles with a faint oily glow and fine green vegetable leaves.

With a slight stir, the diced meat and brown diced mushrooms could be seen. As they were stirred, a faint white gas emerged, followed by a unique fragrance of the burnt noodles.

“It smells so good.” Shu Xin smelled the fragrance of the noodles and looked at the bowl. She could not help but laugh, but a tear fell from her eye.

With a sound of “Hua la,” Shu Xin suddenly stood up and said to Yuan Zhou in the kitchen after gathering her courage,””Thank you, boss Yuan. It’s very fragrant.”

Shu Xin’s voice was a little m.u.f.fled. Even Yuan Zhou didn’t understand whether she said it was very fragrant or very similar.

“Well, eat it. It’s not delicious when it’s cold. If it’s hot, there’s a new towel here.” Yuan Zhou didn’t say much. He just pa.s.sed a clean and white New towel to her.

“Thank you,” he said. At this time, Shu Xin became embarra.s.sed again. She lowered her head and took the towel and quickly sat down.

After sitting down for a while, Shu Xin finally regained her senses. She carefully and discreetly peeked at the customers around her. After realizing that no one was paying attention to her, she straightened her back slightly and sat further away from the table.

After all, Shuxin almost fell on the table just now.

Holding the towel, Shu Xin’s heart felt warm. She lowered her head and quickly wiped her face.”As expected, the internet is right. Boss Yuan is really a warm and straight man. Luckily, I didn’t put on makeup.”

Although she thought so, Shuxin was still very grateful to Yuan Zhou. She only felt much better when she looked at the scrumpled noodles in front of her after her mood calmed down.

“Grandma, I’m going to eat it.” Shu Xin said in her heart and then picked up the spoon.

The spoon was also made of fine white porcelain. The small one was held in Shu Xin’s hand, and there was a bright red peony flower painted in the middle of the spoon.

It made the spoon look very rich and magnificent.

However, Shu Xin could not help but burst out laughing.”This spoon looks like the one I used when I was young.”

That’s right. When she was young, there would be a peony flower in the middle of the White porcelain spoon. It was particularly big and gaudy. Although the one in front of her was very exquisite and rich, it didn’t affect Shu Xin from thinking about the spoon she used at home when she was young.

He scooped up a spoonful of mushy noodles. The thin and short noodles were mixed with a little green vegetable leaves and a few pieces of egg skin. When it reached his mouth, the fragrance was even more obvious.

There was the fragrance of noodles and fresh vegetables, as well as the taste of eggs. It was rich and full of smoke and fire.

Squinting her eyes slightly, Shu Xin stuffed it into her mouth. The mushy noodles were slightly warm and not hot at all.

It instantly reminded Shuxin of what her grandmother had said: “This temperature is just right. It’s not too hot. Eat it and go to school.”

“Why is grandma’s noodles so short?” Shu Xin said.

“If it’s short, you can chew less so that you can finish eating earlier and go to school.” Grandma replied matter-of-factly.

The images of the memories flashed by, but the taste in his mouth was even more real.

The short noodles were very soft and mushy. It had absorbed the taste of all the ingredients and the soup, making it very delicious.

With the crunchy and refres.h.i.+ng crushed vegetables, the slightly flexible egg skin, and the fragrant bacon, the whole texture was very salty and fragrant.

Shuxin, who was scooping and drinking, was no longer as reserved and careful as when she first entered the store. Instead, she was more casual.

“It’s so delicious. Grandma, boss Yuan’s food is more delicious than yours. ” As Shu Xin thought of this, her mouth slowly slowed down.

Shu Xin ate slowly, but a bowl of noodles was really not much and she finished it in a short while.

However, Shu Xin still sc.r.a.ped the bottom of the bowl carefully with the spoon and only put down the spoon after eating the soup at the bottom of the bowl.

“It’s delicious. ” Shuxin suddenly raised her head and then saw boss Yuan who was busy in the kitchen. Only then did she realize that she was still in the restaurant and immediately lowered her head again.

After stepping down from the high chair, Shu Xin raised her voice and said,””Thank you, boss Yuan. It’s very delicious. I’ll return the towel to you after was.h.i.+ng it.”

After saying that, he quickly walked out of the shop and quickly disappeared outside.

“You didn’t tell her that the towel was the only free thing in the shop?” It was rare for Yuan Zhou to ask with a smile.

“Boss, I didn’t have time to tell you.” Su Ruoyan said helplessly.

“Then you can tell her next time.” After Yuan Zhou said that, he continued to cook.

“Okay, boss.” Su Ruoyan nodded in agreement.

“This big sister runs too fast.” Su Ruoyan looked at the door helplessly and thought to herself.

This was just a small interlude at dinner, and it pa.s.sed quickly. The rest of the dinner time was very stable. Two hours pa.s.sed very quickly, and at least the diners were very eager to continue.

However, when the business time arrived, everyone left under Yuan Zhou’s welcome to come again tomorrow.

While su Ruoyan and Mao Ye were changing s.h.i.+fts, Yuan Zhou went upstairs to wash up.

When Yuan Zhou went downstairs again, the customers of the pub started to enter the restaurant.

The first two people who entered the door were two people who were extremely difficult to deal with. These two people were naturally w.a.n.g Hong and Fang Heng.

“Good evening,” she said. Yuan Zhou said.

“Good evening, boss Yuan,” Fang Heng greeted him courteously.

“Good evening, boss Yuan,” The voice that was full of anger was w.a.n.g Hong.

“It’s rare to see the two of you here for a drink. ” Yuan Zhou said.

“Hehe, that’s because I’m in high spirits when I’m in a good mood.” w.a.n.g Hong immediately said proudly.

“Yes. He said that he has something to tell me or show off, so he invited me to drink with him. Of course, I won’t go to other places, but in your restaurant, I can only let him show off.” Fang Heng spread his hands and said.

“I’m not showing off, I’m just telling the truth. ” w.a.n.g Hong said.

“Then tell me what it is.” Fang Heng said,”boss Yuan, look at him. He said he had something to tell me. But he kept me in suspense. He didn’t even tell me.”

“I don’t know if I can listen.” Yuan Zhou asked primly.

Of course, Yuan Zhou indicated that he was absolutely not curious about what could make w.a.n.g Hong treat Fang Heng to a drink. He was just making a fair judgment for the two little kids in front of him.

He had originally intended to keep Fang Heng in suspense, but when Yuan Zhou asked him that, w.a.n.g Hong simply said,””Of course you can. Anyway, there are still 20 minutes before the pub time starts. I’ll listen to boss Yuan and have a good talk with you, the poor witch of the heavenly demon sect.”

“Thank you, boss Yuan,” Fang Heng was also a sleazy person. He directly thanked Yuan Zhou and totally ignored w.a.n.g Hong.

However, w.a.n.g Hong didn’t mind. He said proudly,””You know that I’m a best-selling author now, right?”

“Uh-huh,” Fang Heng snorted and didn’t say anything.

Yuan Zhou nodded his head to show his respect. Then, w.a.n.g Hong continued.

“As a best-selling author, I already have a lot of fans. Two months ago, after my new book was released, a very talented female fan added me and gave me a lot of inspiration for my next book.” w.a.n.g Hong paid special attention to Fang Heng’s expression when he said that.

After all, he and Fang Heng were both single dogs. However, Fang Heng had been in love before, while he was often laughed at by Fang Heng because he had never been in love before. Fang Heng said that he was a straight man who didn’t understand a girl’s heart.

Therefore, w.a.n.g Hong specifically said that he was a female fan and that they had a good relations.h.i.+p and were already friends. He wanted to see Fang Heng’s reaction.

However, Fang Heng didn’t react at all. Even Yuan Zhou remained calm.

“We’re friends now, and we’re on good terms. I’m going to invite her to the press conference for my next book.” w.a.n.g Hong emphasized.

“So?” “You called me here just to prove that you have female readers?” Fang Heng asked indifferently.

“There’s no gender difference when reading books. ” Fang Heng said.

“Yes, there’s no gender difference between the customers.” Yuan Zhou said timely.

“Of course not.” w.a.n.g Hong laughed and said proudly,””My friend is that female reader called Shao Yu. She sent me something yesterday.”

“Did you see that? I’ve received a gift from my readers, and I’m a girl too, so I’m not straight.” w.a.n.g Hong quickly followed.

“Congratulations, that’s a good thing.” Fang Heng said to the point.

Even Yuan Zhou at the side nodded his head to show his approval.

It was true. w.a.n.g Hong didn’t have many friends and he wasn’t good at socializing. Therefore, Yuan Zhou and Fang Heng naturally felt that it was good to have a friend.

“What did I give you? you’re so happy that you want to buy me a drink today.” Fang Heng asked.

Fang Heng swore that when he asked that question, he really just said it without thinking and didn’t mean anything else. But he didn’t expect to hear the answer later.

“A bag of red beans,” w.a.n.g Hong was straightforward.

“What?” Fang Heng looked at w.a.n.g Hong with a puzzled expression.

“It’s just a bag of red beans. I suspect that Shao Yu is definitely doing this for the sake of studying whether I know how to cook or not. That’s because I told her that I often come to boss Yuan’s restaurant to eat. She also often said that she’s worried that I’ll starve to death at home if I don’t go out to eat while writing my book. ” w.a.n.g Hong said with certainty.

“This logic is invincible.” Fang Heng couldn’t help covering his face.

w.a.n.g Hong continued,”that’s why I cooked the red bean porridge and took a picture of it. I’m the one who eats at master chef Restaurant. How can I not have some skills?”

At first, Fang Heng gave up on asking w.a.n.g Hong about the relations.h.i.+p between a bag of red beans and cooking. Now he was more worried that w.a.n.g Hong was going to lose his book friend again because he had a very bad feeling.

“Don’t you think it’s weird that someone sent you red beans from so far away?” As a man who had had a girlfriend before and could understand girls ‘thoughts, Fang Heng asked as a reminder.

“No, I’ve also received other food.” w.a.n.g Hong shook his head.

Fang Heng took a deep breath and said,””Is there anything strange about the red bean?”

“You’re jealous that I have a friend who sends me food,”w.a.n.g Hong said as he looked at Fang Heng.

His tone was so certain that even Fang Heng wanted to hit him. Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, thought carefully for a while and felt that what w.a.n.g Hong said was true. He couldn’t help looking at Fang Heng.

“Get lost. I even had a girlfriend before. Why would I care about your female friend?” Fang Heng waved his hand and said impatiently.

“I think you’re just jealous because I’m a bestselling author now.” “Don’t worry,” w.a.n.g Hong said proudly.”Although you don’t have any book friends, I can still reluctantly treat you to a drink.”

“Did the girl say anything when you received the red beans?” Fang Heng felt helpless and could only ask directly.

“No. Although there aren’t many red beans, there’s about half a catty. It’s just enough to cook red bean congee twice.” w.a.n.g Hong said.

Fang Heng felt that his premonition was even worse.

“Then you really don’t find these red beans strange?” “Think clearly before you speak,” Fang Heng said.

w.a.n.g Hong always had a triumphant smile on his face. Because of his seriousness, Fang Heng must be envious of him. Therefore, he generously recalled the details and prepared to share them with Fang Heng.

“There’s nothing else, just that the red bean isn’t as round as it looks.” w.a.n.g Hong said as he held his chin.

Very good. Fang Heng was now sure of the answer in his heart. However, in order to be safe, he still asked w.a.n.g Hong to show him the photo of the red bean porridge last night.

Although w.a.n.g Hong had a look of “don’t be jealous, you don’t have such a good friend, but I have an expression”, Fang Heng still looked at the picture seriously.

Moreover, due to Fang Heng’s strange expression, Yuan Zhou didn’t mention the matter of the poor cooking of the congee when he saw the photo. He just listened to him silently.

“Red beans are born in the South, and a few branches grow when spring comes. I hope you pick more Gu, this thing is the most lovesick. ” Fang Heng looked at w.a.n.g Hong with pity as he recited the poem.

“Have you heard of this poem?” Fang Heng continued.

“Of course I’ve heard of it.” w.a.n.g Hong was still a little confused when he said “of course.” As a writer, he was naturally not bad at literature. How could he not know about the poems written by w.a.n.g Wei from the Tang Dynasty?

However, after looking at Fang Heng’s expression, he suddenly realized something. Then, he connected it to the red bean with the incomplete skin and had a bad feeling.

“I heard that some girls would use red beans to engrave words to confess their love. And if I’m not wrong, 50 grams of red beans can be counted into about 100 red beans, so 520 red beans are about half a catty?” Fang Heng said slowly.

After hearing these words, w.a.n.g Hong’s expression froze as if he had been struck by lightning. It was as if he had been petrified, and the gloating expression on his face had completely disappeared.

Yuan Zhou remained expressionless and didn’t say anything. w.a.n.g Hong was really too stupid. He couldn’t even see through such an obvious confession. Anyway, he definitely wouldn’t make such a silly mistake.

After a while, w.a.n.g Hong suddenly rushed upstairs without saying a word. He quickly picked up the wine pot on the table and took a gulp of wine. Then, he quickly went downstairs and said,””I’ve already drunk the wine, the rest will be for the heavenly demon sect’s witch to drink. I’ll be leaving first. ”

w.a.n.g Hong had never been so serious before. He left immediately after he finished speaking.

Fang Heng, who saw his series of actions, said,””Boss Yuan, this isn’t against your rules, is it?”

“Not really,” Yuan Zhou nodded and said.

That’s right. The rule in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was that the person who drew the lot must be present. Otherwise, it would be considered a violation of the rules. It was quite reasonable for w.a.n.g Hong to still remember this point at this time.

However, no one knew about it after they left the shop.
