Chapter 1706: I’ll drink this bowl of chicken soup
Translator: 549690339
“Boss Yuan, do you have sothing on your mind?” Zheng Jiawei asked.
“What?” Yuan Zhou was stupefied, not understanding why Zheng Jiawei suddenly asked him that.
“Because boss Yuan seems to have a lot of thoughts.” Zheng Jiawei said.
Yuan Zhou was startled. One had to know that his “expressionless and sullen divine skill” had reached the perfection. How could it be seen that he had sothing on his mind?
One had to admit that Zheng Jiawei was really good at observing people’s expressions.
“I just saw a piece of news. I’m a little emotional.” Now that he had been seen through, Yuan Zhou didn’t hide anything and told him what he was thinking.
“What kind of news can make boss Yuan think about it?” Zheng Jiawei asked.
Yuan Zhou took out the Chengdu Morning Post that had just been delivered to him and turned to the sub-page. Then, he pointed at a news article on it,”the old couple donated 16 million Yuan in lifeti assets to support the education in their hotown”.
He read it carefully. The news was mainly about an old couple who had donated 16 million Yuan a few days ago. When a reporter interviewed the old couple and asked them to say sothing, they politely refused. In the end, they only left behind words like “study hard and improve every day.”
Zheng Jiawei was waiting for Yuan Zhou’s follow-up. Although it was said that society was getting colder and colder, a good person was still a good person. Therefore, he felt that Yuan Zhou wouldn’t think too much about it.
“This old couple ca to the restaurant for a al before.” Yuan Zhou said. There were photos in the newspaper. Although the photos were different from the real person, he could still recognize them at a glance. They were the old couple who had brought their own dishes to the restaurant to eat the stir-fried grapefruit several days ago.
Even now, when asked about the custors at that ti, the first impression of the two old n was that they were thrifty.
Yuan Zhou even felt that the two old n were quite romantic, because he rembered the words of the old couple,”Although the other dishes here are expensive and this dish isn’t cheap either, we’ve already eaten at our famous Chengdu Restaurant and are satisfied.”
......
This was what the old lady said to her husband. Her words were a little ssy. What the old lady wanted to express was that the dishes at master chef Restaurant were very expensive. Although the stir-fried asparagus they ordered was the cheapest, it was not cheap for them. However, they still ca to have a al. According to the popular saying, they had successfully checked in.
The two calculative old n had only left behind nine words after donating 16 million Yuan,”study hard and make progress every day.” This was the reason why Yuan Zhou was lost in thought.
“I’ve heard little hai say sothing before. ” Zheng Jiawei had roughly understood what Yuan Zhou was thinking about.
“What did he say?” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and listened to what Zheng Jiawei said.
“I asked little hai why he still had inspiration after drawing so many paintings for master chef Restaurant.” “Then, little hai answered that it’s because there are so many things in this restaurant that are worth him drawing,” Zheng Jiawei said.
“That’s why I think that even though there are all sorts of food safety problems and social deviances, there are still many good people out there, just like this old couple and many strangers who will inadvertently move you. This will make you feel that the world is worth it.” Zheng Jiawei said.
“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head, indicating that he would drink this bowl of chicken soup.
“By the way, Jiawei, what’s the matter?” Yuan Zhou ca back to his senses and asked.
Zheng Jiawei nodded his head. He ca here mainly for the unveiling ceremony of the painting God’s cottage. As for the matter of Yuan Zhou being the opening guest invited, there were still many details that needed to be compared.
After about half an hour of communication, Yuan Zhou also rembered all of them.
They began to prepare for the flower banquet.
That’s right. The flower banquet had been ntioned for a long ti and Yuan Zhou had already prepared it twice. However, Yin ya’s company was really busy recently and the timing didn’t match.
This was how work was. Plans could never keep up with changes.
It was only today that it was finally confird that everyone was free. The specific ti was set to be after the lunch ti of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, which was exactly 2 pm.
To be honest, it was too late for them to have lunch at this ti. Yuan Zhou had originally intended to take a break for lunch and specially co to treat them, but Yin ya firmly refused.
Yin ya didn’t want to ss up Yuan Zhou’s plan because of her own matters. However, in case Yuan Zhou would be tired, she took leave in advance and stayed in the restaurant, hoping to do sothing within her ability.
This might be the best relationship.
“I’m fine here. You can go sit down and rest.” With the face mask on, Yuan Zhou said without even raising his head.
“It’s fine. I like to watch you cook, and I can help serve the dishes. ” Yin ya shook her head and said earnestly while standing in front of the partition.
“Your colleagues should be here soon. You should rest first. Don’t you have to introduce them later?” Yuan Zhou carried the dishes out and put them on the tray, saying.
“I know, I’m very well prepared.” Yin ya said with full confidence.
“Yes, I know. You’re very powerful.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and agreed.
“But my blockhead is still the best.” Yin ya complinted him back with a smile and pointed at the dishes on the tray, saying,”Such a beautiful and delicious flower banquet.”
“I only know how to cook.” Yuan Zhou said.
“That’s already very impressive, let alone doing it so well. ” Yin ya said.
This ti, Yuan Zhou didn’t answer her. Instead, he took a deep look at Yin ya and then lowered his head to cook again.
Yin ya, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed under Yuan Zhou’s gaze. Her face beca hot. She touched her face with the back of her hand and then turned around, saying,””I’m going to the entrance to welco my colleagues. ”
Yuan Zhou nodded his head behind Yin ya and answered with a light sound.
Having just walked to the door, Yin ya saw her colleagues walking towards the restaurant.
The one in the lead was Mo Yu, Yin ya’s direct superior in the future. She was wearing a black suit, straight clothes, and a pair of middle-heel shoes. Her hair was tied up ticulously and there was a smile on her face, but it still couldn’t hide her powerful aura.
The first person behind Mo Yu was Yin ya’s colleague and good friend, Xiaochen, and the girl with bangs who had been to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant several tis. She was dressed simply and walking together with Xiaochen.
The other three people were not from the Secretariat, but from other departnts who were on good terms with Yin ya. There were six people in total, only one of them was a man.
The man looked a little fat, wearing a flowery shirt and fitting black trousers. The aura he exuded when he walked was comparable to Mo Yu ‘s.
Therefore, the overly gaudy shirt on him gave him a different kind of middle-aged yuppie feeling.
This person was none other than Jiang anyun, the sales manager who had once tried to invite Yin ya to join the sales departnt.
Jiang anyun took a fancy to Yin ya’s decisiveness, good learning ability, and excellent eloquence, which were sowhat similar to his characteristics when he was young. He once directly asked Yin ya if she wanted to go to the sales departnt.
Although Yin ya refused her later, Jiang anyun still appreciated her and took care of her as if she was her own niece.
Therefore, Yin ya and Jiang N were quite familiar with each other, so they invited him this ti.
Walking among the girls, Jiang anyun didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. She walked to the door of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant with the other five girls calmly.
“I’ve long heard that Yin ya’s boyfriend is a famous chef. It’s just as I expected. ” Jiang anyun said emotionally.
“Manager Jiang, you’ve never been to this restaurant before?” Mo Yu asked.
“We, the salespeople, are flying everywhere. There are fewer people who co under our noses.” Jiang anyun said.
“That’s why it’s more suitable for our Xiao Ya to work in the CEO Secretariat. ” Mo Yu said in a neutral tone.
Clearly, Mo Yu rembered that Jiang N wanted to poach him.
“That’s why Yin ya was able to work in the sales departnt. After that, my position will be hers. ” Jiang N said calmly.
“Xiao Ya is already the Vice President now.” Mo Yu said.
Just when Jiang anyun was about to say sothing, Yin ya ca out and said,”Thank you for coming today, everyone. I’m sorry I’m a little late.”
“I’m sorry, everyone. ” At the side, Yuan Zhou, who had been standing with Yin ya since God knows when, also said.
“It’s not late. I can eat the banquet specially prepared by boss Yuan. No ti is considered late. ” Mo Yu said seriously.
The rest of the girls, like Xiaochen and Qi liuhai, nodded.
It wasn’t like Jiang anyun had never been to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant before. If it wasn’t for the fact that they didn’t have enough money, they also wanted to treat this place as a canteen like Wu Hai and eat every al in the restaurant.
Therefore, now that they could eat such an unexpected surprise, not to ntion that Yuan Zhou was personally welcoming them at the door, they all nodded their heads earnestly and earnestly.
“It’s not too late to have lunch at this ti,”Jiang anyun said.
Jiang anyun was telling the truth. He was a salesperson, and when he was busy, he didn’t even have ti for lunch. Thus, 2:15 pm wasn’t too late for him.
“Thank you, everyone. I’ll bring everyone in.” Yin ya said with a smile.
When she spoke, Yin ya deliberately didn’t point out the difference between superior and inferior, which made everyone feel more at ease.
When they were led into the restaurant, Yuan Zhou retreated back to the kitchen while Yin ya pushed open the door of the Sergestes wall landscape and walked inside with her people.
“This is the Sergestes wall-view door specially prepared by Yuan Zhou. If you go in from here, you will reach the place where you will have your al today.” Yin ya introduced while walking.
Yin ya didn’t even let go of the crabapple tree beside the door when she pushed it open. She introduced it to everyone in detail.
“Wow, this is my first ti here. It’s really like what the internet says. What a beautiful courtyard.” Xiaochen looked at the small courtyard in amazent. Although she had been here for a al or two, she had never been inside.
“Well, it’s my first ti here, too. I heard that you can only co in if you get a table tennis ball for drinking.” The girl with bangs also chid in softly.
“This head chef Yuan is a rich man.” On the other hand, Jiang anyun, who was at the side, touched his chin and imdiately saw the value of the flowers and plants.
The custors he was dealing with now were all rich, so his judgnt was naturally better. He could tell at a glance that the cost of this courtyard was high.
Just like that small artificial mountain over there, it looked strange and blended in with the surroundings. The scenery was beautiful, and just this small scene required a famous designer to design it.
“Yin ya has found a very good boyfriend.” Jiang N thought.
On the other side, Yin ya had already started to introduce today’s banquet as the female host.
“Yuan Zhou and I are preparing for the flower banquet today.” Yin ya led her people to sit down at the stone table in the front courtyard and then said.
“Wow, it sounds so beautiful. Do you eat flowers?” Xiaochen was the first to ask.
“A flower banquet? There are so in Dian province. ” Mo Yu said.
“Actually, there’s also one in wudu now.” Jiang anyun said.
Other than Mo Yu and Jiang N, who had so understanding of the situation, everyone else had the sa expression as Xiaochen, curious and expectant.
“Don’t worry, everyone. Feasts with fresh flowers have a long history. It has been a tradition since more than two thousand years ago.” Yin ya said with a smile.
“Among them, Qu Yuan once used chrysanthemums to cook delicacies and even spread: I drink the dew of Mulan in the morning. A poem like “evening al, autumn chrysanthemums falling flowers”[ 1].” Yin ya’s voice was clear and lodious. Plus, she spoke in a lively and interesting way. Therefore, everyone listened to her attentively.
“In the Tang Dynasty, chrysanthemum cakes and Osmanthus cakes were regarded as the finest goods at banquets. Today, we have prepared these two cakes for everyone to try.” Yin ya said with a smile.
“Every ti I watch historical dramas, I envy those people who eat Osmanthus cakes and chrysanthemum cakes. I didn’t expect to be able to eat them today. I’m looking forward to it.” When the girl with bangs heard this, she imdiately laughed happily.
“Yes, yes, yes. It’s those pastries in the movie. Just hearing the na makes want to eat them. Boss Yuan is really aweso. He can make anything.” Xiaochen was not stingy with her praise.
The rest of the people were also looking forward to it, but Mo Yu was looking forward to the flower wine.
“The Qing Dynasty ‘s” coffins list “also described in detail the eating thods of more than 20 kinds of flowers. Today, the flowers and vegetables in this book will also appear.” Yin ya continued.
“Today’s drink is low-alcohol rose brew, fragrant and llow. ” Yin ya soon brought up the topic that Mo Yu was interested in.
“This flower banquet is quite particular. It seems that head chef Yuan loves Yin ya very much. That’s very thoughtful of him.” Jiang N said in a low voice.
“The two of them are indeed a good match.” Mo Yu, who was at the side, suddenly added.
It was obvious that Mo Yu was thinking of the scene when she first ca for a drink.
“Actually, there are more than a hundred types of fresh flowers that can be eaten in our country. However, due to the season and the number of people today, only a few of them will appear today, such as Hui LAN, chrysanthemum, rose, Osmanthus, Lotus, Jasmine, Lily, Yulan, peach, Sophora, Bauhinia, tuberose, tea, and cherry blossoms.”
“Everyone, don’t complain that it’s too little.” Yin ya said playfully after listing out a lot of flowers as if she was reporting the dishes.
“Aiyo, I feel so hungry. It’s all your fault, little ya.” The girl with bangs clutched her stomach and complained.
“That’s right. I have a feeling that I won’t be able to look at the flower shop after this al. I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist going in to eat flowers.” Xiaochen said exaggeratedly.
His words made everyone at the table burst into laughter. It was at this mont that Yuan Zhou ca with the tray.
Yin ya imdiately went up to him when she saw that from the corner of her eye. However, Yuan Zhou didn’t intend to give her the tray. Instead, he walked straight to the dining table and carefully arranged six cold dishes.
This ti, only six people were invited to the banquet after Yin ya’s promotion. With Yin ya and Yuan Zhou included, there were eight people in total.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou prepared six cold dishes. Of course, the main dish of The Cold Dish of the flower banquet was also about flowers.
For example, the cold gardenias in the dish looked fresh and cute. The fragrance of the gardenias floated into everyone’s nose.
“Six cold dishes, please enjoy your al.” Yuan Zhou said with a clear and bright voice.
