Chapter 1688: You can’t be lucky in cooking

Translator: 549690339 

What happened in the pub in the evening made Yuan Zhou realize the gentleness and tactfulness of girls very alertly.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou cuddled with Yin ya for a while before going to bed that night.

On the other hand, Wang Hong, who had just left the shop, was in a bad state.

The next morning, Yuan Zhou woke up at 5:00 as usual. After that, he changed his clothes and went out for a jog.

Yuan Zhou’s daily running schedule was fixed. He would run one round around the entire Taoxi road and then run from the end of the street into the back alley and then return to his restaurant.

During the process, the pedestrians on the road would all greet Yuan Zhou.

When Yuan Zhou ran to the street again today, the door of the hardware store of the fat boss Wang at the corner of the street was opened with a sound of “Hua la.”

That’s right. Every morning when Yuan Zhou came here, boss Wang would open the door. To be exact, he opened the door at this time.

“Morning, little Yuan.” Boss Wang said affectionately with a smile on his chubby face, limping.

“Morning, uncle Wang.” Yuan Zhou answered with a nod.

After the small talk, Yuan Zhou turned around and prepared to continue running away. However, when he turned around the alley, he found an A4 paper for sale pasted on the door of the stewed vegetable shop at the corner of the street.

“Eh?” Yuan Zhou couldn’t help uttering a sound of surprise, because the sticker hadn’t been there when Yuan Zhou was jogging yesterday morning.

Although Yuan Zhou’s voice was low, boss Wang, who was busy opening the restaurant at the side, still noticed him. He raised his head and happened to see Yuan Zhou reading the notice of transfer of ownership of the opposite store.

“Little Yuan, do you find it strange?” Boss Wang said.

“Hmm, it’s a little strange.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and stood still.

That’s right. Yuan Zhou had eaten the braised dishes of this restaurant before. Or rather, he had tried several other restaurants that sold this kind of food in Taoxi road.

Yuan Zhou happened to have tried this stewed vegetable restaurant before. He remembered that although the taste was not special, the ingredients were very fresh and it tasted quite good.

Moreover, because Yuan Zhou had tried it before, the restaurant was popular for a period of time.

This was Yuan Zhou’s influence. Even if he didn’t write any comment or say whether it was delicious or not, there were still people who followed Yuan Zhou’s footsteps and tried it.

But now, he had actually fallen to the point of transferring his store. Naturally, Yuan Zhou was curious.

After all, as long as Taoxi Street was doing well, the business would not be bad. Currently, it was known as the number one snack Street in China. There was an endless stream of tourists every day, and there was basically no transfer of stores.

“It’s not strange. That little boss used to have his own ideas, but now he can ‘t.” Boss Wang waved his hand and shook his head.

Without waiting for Yuan Zhou to ask, boss Wang continued,””In the beginning, that kid would go out early in the morning to buy fresh vegetables. After that, his business got better, so he stopped.”

“That kid asked someone to deliver the food. I saw that the chicken, duck, and fish were frozen solid. It would be strange if they were delicious after being braised.” Boss Wang said as he shook his head.

Yuan Zhou also nodded his head. In Yuan Zhou’s eyes, the marinade of this restaurant was only at the level of the street food. However, it won in the fact that the ingredients were very fresh, so the taste was not bad. However, the biggest advantage was gone, so he didn’t come to the restaurant for the other dishes.

Now, Yuan Zhou finally understood why this restaurant could only be transferred.

“I can’t do it anymore. Last month, I heard that kid say that he wanted to transfer it. It’s good that he did. Our Taoxi road sells all the good things. Bad people can’t come in.” Boss Wang said proudly.

Yuan Zhou nodded his head and didn’t say anything. Instead, boss Wang continued,””Although the things in my restaurant are expensive, they are all good stuff. Little Yuan, how is the water and sewage system in your kitchen? Do you want me to give you a warranty?”

Boss Wang suddenly asked.

“No, I’m still fine.” Yuan Zhou said.

Although the decoration of the restaurant was changed to the system’s from the very beginning, Yuan Zhou knew that boss Wang had put in a lot of effort when he was cooking. Therefore, he nodded his head naturally.

“That’s good. It seems that my skills have not deteriorated. ” Boss Wang said with a smile.

“Of course not.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Haha, little Yuan, I feel that the weather is not so hot anymore after receiving your praise.” Boss Wang was smiling so widely that the fat on his face was squeezed together. However, he didn’t forget to tell Yuan Zhou to hurry up and go do his own things. There was no need to care about him.

Yuan Zhou also nodded his head and left by jogging again.

Before leaving, Yuan Zhou looked at the transfer instructions and couldn’t help thinking of the young man who sold fried dumplings at the door.

He was the young man who started to be lazy and didn’t knead the dough by hand after using the best ingredients. In the end, he went back to the fried dumpling stall after hearing Yuan Zhou’s suggestion.

“As expected, cooking can’t allow a trace of luck.” Yuan Zhou thought that in his heart and then jogged back to his restaurant.

Very soon, Yuan Zhou washed up and then began to prepare the ingredients for breakfast.

The breakfast time every day was only one hour. Therefore, it ended very quickly. However, the A4 paper of the restaurant that was to be transferred today had made Yuan Zhou more alert. Therefore, after the breakfast time, Yuan Zhou began to spend another five minutes thinking carefully about the ingredients and the dishes to be made during the opening hours.

This habit was formed in Yuan Zhou’s first year of opening the restaurant. At that time, Yuan Zhou was still young and inexperienced, far from the seasoned one he had now.

Later on, as his culinary skills became more and more proficient and he learned more and more culinary skills, Yuan Zhou rarely spent time to evaluate himself after each meal.

And now, Yuan Zhou started to do that again.

After the lunch time ended, Yuan Zhou also stood at the same place and thought carefully with his eyes slightly closed. Only when he didn’t find anything wrong did he relax his brows and go upstairs to wash up and change his clothes.

This time, however, Yuan Zhou changed into the casual clothes he wore when he went out.

He was wearing a simple embroidered white short-sleeved shirt that revealed his strong arms. He wore a pair of thin khaki-colored pants and a pair of brown leather shoes that were well-ventilated. He looked very energetic.

Of course, all the matching clothes of Yuan Zhou were done by Yin ya. She would help Yuan Zhou tidy up his wardrobe every once in a while and match his clothes and pants so that Yuan Zhou could directly pick up a set and wear it.

She even carefully arranged the clothes for different occasions and hung them in Yuan Zhou’s wardrobe. Even some small accessories were matched with each other.

And this was the clothing that could be worn for a visit on a semi-formal occasion.

Yuan Zhou was holding a black handbag for men in his hand. When he walked to the intersection, he directly hailed a taxi and told the driver the address. After that, he got into the taxi and waited for them to arrive.

That’s right. The person Yuan Zhou was going to visit today was Wang Huai. He was also going to deliver the third letter of recommendation from the China chefs ‘union branch.

The reason why he only went to visit at this time was very simple. Although Zhou Shijie had told Yuan Zhou a week ago that Wang Huai had settled down in Chengdu, he still had to clean up after he had just arrived.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou didn’t go to visit him at once. Instead, he waited for a week and only went to visit him after he was informed in advance.

On the other side, Wang Huai was also sitting in the courtyard and waiting for Yuan Zhou with the tea prepared.

In fact, when Yuan Zhou said he was going to visit Wang Huai at the beginning, Wang Huai directly said that he would come here personally.

It was only because Yuan Zhou said he wanted to come and have a look that Wang Huaiyuan agreed. Otherwise, he would have gone to Yuan Zhou’s place by himself long ago.

In Wang Huai’s eyes, he and Yuan Zhou were of the same generation. Therefore, he specially told Yuan Zhou not to mind those superficial courtesy.
