Time passed quickly, and soon it was time for most companies to resume their business.

Even Yin ya returned to Chengdu the day before and came to the restaurant for a meal as soon as possible. She even brought Yuan Zhou some tangyuans from her restaurant.

That’s right. This time, Yin ya brought tangyuan. However, this tangyuan was different from those in Sichuan. There was a sharp horn on top of this tangyuan, which was called a dumpling in her hometown.

This dumpling was Bicolored. The White one was the shredded radish meat filling, and the green one was the sweet red bean paste.

Yuan Zhou was very happy after receiving the gift. He also returned a small gift to Yin ya, but this time it wasn’t food.

Instead, it was a small decoration. It was a yellow Rosewood pig-shaped decoration that Yuan Zhou had carved during the Chinese New Year. There were two pigs in total, looking charmingly naïve and very cute.

Yin ya had originally wanted to say how precious the wood was, but when she saw Yuan Zhou’s solemn manner, she swallowed her words that would spoil the mood and kept it seriously.

“Thank you,” he said. Yin ya said with a little embarrassment.

“You’re welcome. This won’t take much effort. After all, I have to practice carving every day.” Yuan Zhou said earnestly.

“I know you’re serious about cooking.” Yin ya said, feeling both angry and amused.

That’s right. By now, Yin ya could also understand the underlying meaning of most of Yuan Zhou’s words. Just now, Yuan Zhou was telling her not to feel burdened, telling her that this was something he used every day and not to have too many thoughts about this yellow Rosewood.

However, the way he said it still made Yin ya a little speechless.

“Yes, I’ve always been serious.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head again.

“…” Yin ya was speechless for a while. After a pause, she said,””Then I’ll be leaving. I have a lot of things to do today, I can’t stay any longer.”

“Alright. Are you coming for a drink in the afternoon?” Yuan Zhou asked. After thinking for a while that his tone was a little straightforward, he added,”The weather this afternoon is pretty good. There’s a sun.”

“Yes, he will.” Yin ya nodded her head and said.

“See you in the afternoon.” Yuan Zhou appeared calm, but his tone was a little gentler.

“Okay, see you in the afternoon.” Yin ya nodded her head.

This time, Yuan Zhou just nodded and said nothing more. He just watched Yin ya leave slowly in silence.

“It’s a good thing I’ve started preparing for it before the new year. ” Looking at Yin ya’s back that was getting further and further away, Yuan Zhou suddenly said without thinking.

This time, Yin ya came here for breakfast. After breakfast, she stayed for 10 minutes at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant and then left.

Therefore, it was still quite early, but Yuan Zhou didn’t put up a posture at the door and start to sculpt. Instead, he went back to the restaurant and busily cooked something. No one knew what he was doing, but he was definitely not cooking food, because no taste leaked out.

This was the conclusion that Wu Hai arrived at after observing secretly from upstairs.

Time always passed by quickly, and it was soon lunchtime.

“Happy New Year, boss.” Zhou Jia and Cheng Han said to Yuan Zhou who was preparing with his head lowered in unison.

“Yes, Happy New Year.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and continued to busy himself with the matter at hand.

Zhou Jia and Cheng Han also deftly picked up the warm water and handkerchiefs prepared by Yuan Zhou and began to wipe the tables and chairs in the restaurant, appearing to be full of energy.

“Jiajia, I received two red packets from my Grandmaster this year.” Cheng Cheng said to Zhou Jia proudly.

“Although I don’t have two red packets, I have a year-end bonus, thirteen salaries, and a red packet for starting work.” Zhou Jia raised her head and grinned at Cheng Cheng.

…Jiajia, you are no longer the pure and kind Jiajia from before.” Cheng Cheng said painfully.

“Yes, because I’m the rich Jia Jia now.” Zhou Jia smiled and touched Cheng Yang’s head with the hand that she had just used to take the rag.

“You did it on purpose.” Cheng Cheng took off Zhou Jia’s hand and said angrily.

“No, I washed my hands.” Zhou Jia said with a smile.

“Hmph, that won’t do. You have to treat me to a breakfast that Grandmaster made before I can forgive you.” Cheng Cheng said slyly.

“I know, I know. I was planning to use the red packet to invite you. Min Min will be there too. We can eat at different times so that we won’t delay the boss’s work.” Zhou Jia said.

“Alright,” he said. Cheng Cheng immediately nodded enthusiastically.

“Grand Master, can I come for breakfast? The kind that Jiajia is treating. ” Cheng Han turned his head and looked at Yuan Zhou eagerly.

“Those who come to the restaurant to pay are all customers.” Yuan Zhou said primly.

“That’s great, I knew Grand Master wouldn’t refuse. ” Cheng Cheng immediately clenched his fist and waved it happily, looking very happy.

“Thank you, boss.” Zhou Jia also bent over to thank him seriously.

“No need, those who come to eat are all customers.” Yuan Zhou said earnestly.

“Yes.” Zhou Jia nodded the head with a smile.

Everyone had long been used to Yuan Zhou’s cold appearance but warm heart. After all, the thick red packet was still in Zhou Jia’s pocket, making her heart warm.

As more and more customers were gathering outside, Zhou Jia and Cheng Han walked out of the restaurant to maintain order.

However, as soon as they walked out of the restaurant, Cheng Yu said to Zhou Jia,””Jiajia, don’t you think that Grandmaster is very happy today?”

“There are.” Zhou Jia nodded the head affirmatively.

“Right? I think so too.” Seeing Zhou Jia confirm his guess, Cheng Han turned his head and looked at Yuan Zhou with puzzlement.

On the surface, Yuan Zhou was still as serious and indifferent as usual, but his eyes seemed to be shining and the aura around him made people feel happy.

It was Yuan Zhou’s happy manner.

“It’s rare that master’s wife and master’s husband have made decisive progress?” Cheng Cheng tried to maintain order while making wild guesses in his heart.

Of course, Cheng Cheng didn’t know that his guess was very close to the truth.

Since it was already the eighth day of the new year, the shop was particularly lively today.

As a result, MA Zhida and Wu Zhou entered the restaurant as the first batch of customers while quarreling noisily.

“Sigh, the first day of work is so boring. I feel like I’m suffering from holiday syndrome.” MA Zhida sprawled on the long table weakly.

“I’ve been working for two days. ” Wu Zhou said unhappily.

“I’ve been running a shop. ” Suddenly, Yuan Zhou answered.

“Boss Yuan, you naturally can’t understand my feelings when I’m on vacation.” MA Zhida shook his head with an expression of ‘you don’t understand’.

Faced with MA Zhida’s ridicule, Wu Zhou immediately stood up to defend Yuan Zhou,””Boss Yuan, you really can’t understand how you feel when you’re resting when you’re working hard all the time. But a single dog like you can’t understand how I feel when I left my dear wife and children to work two days ago.”

On hearing such a defense, the corner of Yuan Zhou’s mouth under the face mask couldn’t help twitching. Fortunately, he was wearing the face mask and no one saw him.

Although Wu Zhou’s protection made Yuan Zhou a little annoyed, he still looked at MA Zhida to show his dissatisfaction.

This time, Yuan Zhou was very generous and didn’t argue with Wu Zhou. It wasn’t because of his protection, but because he was in a really good mood today. Or rather, he would be in a good mood for the next few days.

“No, no, no. I don’t mean that. I mean, thanks to boss Yuan’s restaurant, your restaurant is my motivation to work.” MA Zhida declared with a serious expression.

After all, the desire for good food was more important than face.
