Chapter 526

However, 5 minutes before dinnertime, Jiang Changxi entered the restaurant with a pair of 10cm high-heeled shoes on her feet .

“Hey, good evening . ” Jiang Changxi raised her white and soft hand and waved toward Yuan Zhou .

“Good evening . ” Yuan Zhou nodded the head solemnly .

“Tsk . Though we haven’t met for some days, you are still as solemn and earnest as before . ” Jiang Changxi chose a seat and sat down directly .

“Do you have the number ticket?” Yuan Zhou asked seriously .

“Sure . I reserved a seat this evening a long time ago . I just arrived a little later . ” Jiang Changxi said regrettably .

That’s right . Jiang Changxi had once made the reservation before she worked overtime . The appointed time was today, but because of some small issues, she arrived late .

“What would you like to eat?” Zhou Jia went up timely and asked .

“Since it’s so late, I won’t embarrass you . Just get me a serving of the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisines . ” Jiang Changxi said kindly .

“No need . ” Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly .

“Let me finish my words first . Be patient . ” While supporting her head with one hand, she knocked at the table with the other .

Customers at the side automatically prepared to watch the fun .

Every time Jiang Changxi came here, she made fun of Yuan Zhou for a while . She was the type who wouldn’t speak appropriately .

“Sister Jiang, say it . ” As an employee, Zhou Jia knew very well to help her boss to get over a difficulty .

“For the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisines, I want to eat Wu Rice this time . Boss Yuan, you know about it, don’t you?” Jiang Changxi sounded firm, but she revealed a smile of ridicule in her eyes .

“Yes, I do . ” Yuan Zhou nodded the head calmly .

What a joke! On such occasions, he must know even if he didn’t .

“Good . I do want Wu Rice . Does it conform to the requirements?” Jiang Changxi was cunning . She asked that in order to make sure if Yuan Zhou knew what it was .

“Yes, it does . But you have to come to eat at this time of day tomorrow as the ingredients have to be immersed in water beforehand . ” The expression on Yuan Zhou’s face had never changed from the beginning to the end . He said that calmly and confidently .

“Alright . I’ll leave you to it . See you tomorrow . ” Jiang Changxi waved her hand happily to Yuan Zhou .

“Hoo . . . What a tough woman!” Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief silently . Luckily, the system had given a detailed cooking method to Yuan Zhou .

Speaking of which, Yuan Zhou did know about the Wu Rice, but he just didn’t know the specific cooking method .

As there were still customers in the restaurant, Yuan Zhou didn’t check it carefully . He just glanced over it roughly before he greeted the last few customers carefully .

Five minutes later,

The customers walked out of the restaurant one after another . Then, Liu Jianan who had been standing at the door became spirited immediately .

“Hoo . . . Fortunately it isn’t so cold by the door . ” Liu Jianan breathed a mouthful of cold air and then walked into the restaurant .

“I’m sorry, but the business time for dinner has ended . Please come earlier next time . ” Seeing Liu Jianan walk into the restaurant, Yuan Zhou asked seriously .

“No, no, no . I’m not here for meals . I have eaten already . ” Liu Jianan said immediately .

Then, Yuan Zhou looked at him and spoke no more . Now that he was not here to eat, he was definitely here for drinking liquor . Therefore, he needn’t do anything but wait .

“This young man comes for something . ” Master Cheng said .

“Yeah, yeah . I come to you for something, Boss Yuan . ” Liu Jianan said politely and courteously, which was all learned at Mr . Ma’s home .

Since Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship was as superb as Mr . Ma, in Liu Jianan’s eyes, his temper definitely wasn’t better .

“What’s the matter?” Yuan Zhou asked .

“It’s like this . I want to invite you to cook a birthday banquet for my grandpa . Please . ” After Liu Jianan said that, he slightly lowered his head and looked straight at Yuan Zhou earnestly .

“Um, I refuse . ” Yuan Zhou answered cleanly .

On hearing “Um” at the beginning, Liu Jianan was suddenly stupefied by the refusal . Boss Yuan really refused cleanly .

“Here’s the thing . If you have any demands, you can tell me directly . All your demands can be met . Please . ” Liu Jianan said again .

“No need . I refuse . ” Yuan Zhou said without the slightest hesitation .

“Well . Why don’t you consider it?” Liu Jianan looked at Yuan Zhou with an expectant expression .

However, Yuan Zhou didn’t even say a word of refusal this time . But his attitude was more apparent . He wouldn’t consider it nor go there .

“That’s fine . I’ll come to you again tomorrow . ” Liu Jianan could do nothing but compromise and say so .

“I don’t think that is necessary . ” Yuan Zhou knitted his brows slightly .

“Don’t worry . I won’t disturb you . ” After saying that, Liu Jianan turned and left right away showing a firm silhouette .

Seeing the young man walk out of the restaurant, Yuan Zhou wouldn’t stop him from behind, thus he didn’t say anything more . Anyway, the answer would still be “No” tomorrow .

The night passed very soon . Recently, Yuan Zhou had been cooking the Osmanthus Wine Stuffed Sticky Rice Ball for the breakfast . It was warm for the stomach, therefore even Wu Hai who didn’t like sweet food wanted to eat some .

When Yuan Zhou was preparing the ingredients for sculpting after the breakfast time, he found his frequently-used radishes had been used up .

After a sound of “Hua La”, Yuan Zhou shut the door and took the small cart, preparing to go to the vegetable market and buy some vegetables .

At that time, Yuan Zhou vaguely heard somebody say, “You are heading out to buy radishes, again . “

“Um . ” Yuan Zhou answered habitually .

However, he suddenly remembered the person who lived beside him and often said this had gone . Boss Tong had left for several days .

“I’m still not accustomed to that . ” With a curve at the corners of his mouth, Yuan Zhou smiled and said .

Then Yuan Zhou went to the vegetable market and the sound of rolling wheels receded slowly .

The radishes were bought fairly quickly as he had done the same thing for quite a few times . Not long after that, he returned . From a distance, however, he found somebody was standing at the door of his restaurant .

“Lining up so early?” Yuan Zhou muttered and then walked close .

“Morning, Boss Yuan . You went to buy the radishes, didn’t you? You can just hand this kind of petty things to me later . I can do a good job . ” It was naturally Liu Jianan who said that .

After Liu Jianan returned, he thought for a whole night and then found he really didn’t have strong points . Thus, he prepared to do some work for Yuan Zhou . That way, he can probably touch Yuan Zhou’s heart .

Consequently, he rushed over here early in the morning .

“I don’t need you . ” Yuan Zhou shrugged off Liu Jianan’s hand deftly and refused .

“Oh, okay . Let me help you attend to your radishes so that you can go to open the door . ” Liu Jianan stared at a bag of radishes solemnly and seriously .

Yuan Zhou felt speechless, but he didn’t bring that out . Instead, he took his key and opened the door silently .

“Boss Yuan, actually my home isn’t far from here . It only takes us about an hour to get here . Can you consider it?” Liu Jianan stood about 1 meter away from Yuan Zhou and said lightly .

However, Yuan Zhou had no reaction . After all, the more you got involved, the more trouble you got . This was Yuan Zhou’s personal experience .

Therefore, Yuan Zhou only moved one chair there . As soon as he got seated, he started to sculpt with total attention . Meanwhile, Liu Jianan just closed his mouth at the side and looked at Yuan Zhou like that, waiting until he finished .

Once Yuan Zhou started, the process lasted two hours like that . Without saying anything, Liu Jianan just looked at Yuan Zhou carefully .

In his mind, he took it as a chance to know more about Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship . Therefore, he watched with great interest .
