Chapter 1303: First time meeting

After saying that, Yuan Zhou held the incense stick in one hand and the wooden plate in the other and walked towards the small cauldron.

“Shua.” Yuan Zhou inserted the wooden plate into the middle of the yellow Rosewood chips in the small cauldron.

The wooden tablet was about the length of a finger and the width of two fingers. The wood was specially chosen to have fewer patterns on it. The peacock pattern was only wrapped around the four corners of the wooden tablet. In the middle of the wooden tablet, there was a vigorous word “Tong” engraved.

Such a wooden plate looked very serious and proper. Yuan Zhou directly lit three specially processed incense sticks with a match and then inserted them.

“System, thank you for your help in the past two years.” Yuan Zhou put his palms together and drooped his large sleeves naturally. He stood tall and straight in front of the cauldron and said with a solemn expression.

“Yes, you’re right. System, this is my gift to you as a thank you. Please accept it.” Yuan Zhou said again.

The system displayed,”…”

“So touched that you can’t speak? It’s fine, this is what I should do. ” Yuan Zhou said solemnly and earnestly.

The system displayed,”should I be touched?”

“Naturally,” Yuan Zhou nodded his head deservedly.

The system was silent for a while before it displayed,””The system still understands the rules of your human world.”

“It’s good that you understand. System, don’t worry, I’ll burn incense for you on the first and fifteenth day of the new year. ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said quite earnestly.

Before the system could say anything, Yuan Zhou continued,””This incense is only slightly inferior to the one I gave to my parents, but it’s definitely a top-grade incense.”

When it heard Yuan Zhou’s sincere words, as a system, it felt helpless and unable to communicate with him for the first time. Moreover, it also had a feeling of grievance that spontaneously arose. This feeling was much stronger than when it had been cheated by its host.

This was a feeling that came from the inside out. The system could only display six ellipses to express its speechlessness.

“System, I’m glad you like it,” Yuan Zhou said with an obviously relieved tone.

No one knew how Yuan Zhou understood that the system was very happy from the six big and thick black dots.

Just when the system was about to refute, Yuan Zhou spoke again,””I got this idea from the last time you asked me to go to the temple to burn incense for you.”

“System, I can tell from your last mission that you like people to burn incense for you, so you don’t have to thank me.” Yuan Zhou continued.

The system suddenly felt as if the stone that it had lifted last year had been dropped this year, and it had been ruthlessly smashed into itself.

The system was silent for a long time before it displayed,””Host, why don’t you take off that sign? it’ll look better this way.”

“It’s secondary whether it looks good or not. The main thing is that you have to know that this incense is for you. It has a name.” Yuan Zhou shook his head and refused the system’s words seriously.

The system displayed,”…”

A rectangular wooden plate was inserted into a small tripod with two ears. On the plate, a Chinese character “Tong” was carved in a flamboyant style. In front of the wooden plate, there were three exquisitely burning incense sticks. Yuan Zhou was standing solemnly in front of the wooden plate, dressed in a straight and wide-sleeved suit.

This scene looked harmonious no matter how one looked at it. However, the system was silent in this scene and even directly went into hiding.

Fortunately, Yuan Zhou didn’t care about that. After the small incense stick, which was shorter than the wooden plate, burned out, Yuan Zhou changed his clothes, washed his face and rinsed his mouth before going to bed.

However, before he went to bed, Yuan Zhou muttered,””The system seems to be a little shy after receiving a gift.”

After a good night’s sleep, Yuan Zhou felt refreshed and invigorated. When he woke up along with his biological clock, the sky was already slightly bright.

As usual, Yuan Zhou started to wash up and run. After that, he prepared breakfast. After breakfast, it was lunchtime.

When the lunch time ended, Yuan Zhou ate a simple bowl of noodles and then changed his clothes and went out.

Today was the day that he had agreed to Meet the Masters of Guizhou cuisine with Zhou Shijie.

When he walked to the intersection, Zhong Lili was already waiting for him in the car.

Yuan Zhou was quite experienced in taking Zhong Lili’s car. He opened the door and got in the car nimbly. After he sat down, he said,””I’m sorry to trouble you,”

“Boss Yuan, you’re too polite. I’ll go there directly then.” Zhong Lili said in a businesslike manner.

“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then lowered his head to read the notebook of Guizhou cuisine that he brought with him.

All of a sudden, it was very quiet in the car. There was only the sound of Yuan Zhou flipping through the paper while Zhong Lili looked straight ahead and drove the car seriously.

After driving for about 20 minutes, Zhong Lili’s car started to slow down. Yuan Zhou closed the notebook and then sat up straight, looking straight ahead.

“This is the courtyard by the river. Chairman Zhou and master Colin should be here soon.” Zhong Lili said seriously.

“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“Chairman Zhou said that he didn’t have anything to tell you, so he took the Alliance’s chauffeur’s car here. However, he will be waiting for you at the entrance.” Zhong Lili said.

“Yes.” Yuan Zhou continued to nod.

The car stopped in front of an ancient courtyard. The wooden plaque on the door had the words “courtyard by the river” written on it.

Just as Zhong Lili’s car stopped, a black Volkswagen drove over from the other side. It was the car that Zhou Shijie usually sat in.

Yuan Zhou directly opened the door and got off the car. Then, he turned his head and said,”Thank you, Secretary Zhong.”

“You’re welcome,” Zhong Lili said with a faint smile.

This time, Yuan Zhou didn’t answer him. Instead, he directly nodded his head and walked toward Zhou Shijie’s car.

When he walked to the back door of the black Volkswagen, Yuan Zhou naturally opened the door like a junior and then let Zhou Shijie get off.

“Little Yuan, you’ve just arrived.” Zhou Shijie’s kind voice was heard. Then, he also got off the car.

“Yes, I just arrived.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“Little Yuan, you look very energetic today.” Zhou Shijie looked at Yuan Zhou with satisfaction and pride and said.

That’s right. Yuan Zhou had also changed his clothes today. He was wearing Azure-colored Han Chinese traditional clothing and a pair of black shoes. His short hair was bristling and his expression was natural and serious. He was holding a black notebook with a leather cover in his hand and he looked very spirited.

“Uncle Zhou looks great today.” Yuan Zhou said earnestly.

“Haha, you little brat, you don’t even know how to praise people.” Zhou Shijie was stunned by the compliment and then said with a smile.

Then, Yuan Zhou stopped talking and just stood at the side silently.

Fortunately, Zhou Shijie didn’t laugh for long because another black Volkswagen drove over from the side. An old man walked out of the back seat of the car.

The old man looked very fat and tall. However, he had a serious expression on his face. His hair was white and he was wearing a Black Tang suit. He looked much older than Zhou Shijie.

“That’s Colin. Let’s go. ” Zhou Shijie raised his chin and then said.

“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then followed Zhou Shijie’s footsteps.

However, when they were halfway there, Zhou Shijie directly pulled Yuan Zhou to his side secretly.

When he got close to them, Zhou Shijie greeted them directly with a smile,””Senior brother ke is here. This is Yuan Zhou.”

“Good day, Grandmaster ke.” Yuan Zhou greeted her conveniently.

“You’re good. ” Collin sized up Yuan Zhou with his eyes narrowed and then said.

“Haha, of course. Little Yuan is the treasure of our Sichuan cuisine. In the future, he will also be the treasure of the entire cooking world.” Zhou Shijie said immediately.
