Chapter 2356: Thank you

Translator: 549690339 

Tian Fang didn’t know that he had almost been recognized by Yuan Zhou. Ever since he wiped off the rainwater with the towel, he suddenly felt more relaxed. He wasn’t as tense as he was when he was standing outside at the beginning.

The warm and peaceful atmosphere in the shop was probably contagious!

“What would you like to order?” Su Ruoyan stood in front of Tian Fang and asked.

“Do you have pickled vegetable tofu? it’s Wang Cang’s pickled vegetable tofu.” Tian Fang said as he licked his dry lips.

As a person from Wangcang, he naturally wanted to eat the authentic tofu. Moreover, he believed that boss Yuan’s restaurant definitely had all kinds of Sichuan cuisine.

After all, in his opinion, boss Yuan had always been such a serious and awesome person.

“There are.” Although it was su Ruoyan’s first time seeing this dish, she was very familiar with the menu. Even if she couldn’t completely memorize it, she could basically tell if this dish was available once it was mentioned.

“Then I’ll have a serving of pickled vegetable tofu and a serving of plain white rice.” Tian Fang revealed a smile.

Su Ruoyan memorized the menu after a while and then sent it to Yuan Zhou.

When Yuan Zhou picked up the menu and showed it to the customers, he saw Tian Fang.

“It’s really old master Tian. I didn’t expect him to come for dinner. ” Yuan Zhou said with a surprised tone.

Obviously, he felt it was unbelievable for Tian Fang to come here to eat. Yuan Zhou only took a look at him and after confirming his taste preference, he started to cook.

Tian Fang did not notice this detail. He focused on the welcoming set meal. First, he carefully touched the beautifully wrapped candy and then took a sip of the water in the cup. The slightly sour water rushed straight down his throat and he immediately squinted.

“This water isn’t as good as the usual boiled water.” Tian Fang muttered.

The old man was 60 years old this year. Other than reading the newspaper occasionally, he always used an old phone. He didn’t know about imported drinks and so on. Naturally, he liked more traditional things.

After pondering for a moment, Tian Fang did not eat the candy in the end. He put it in his pocket and kept it. Then, he began to study the other items in the welcoming set meal, including the tissues.

When the familiar sour taste reached his nose, Tian Fang’s attention was immediately focused on the approaching plate.

The pickled vegetable tofu ordered by Tian Fang was not just stir-fried pickled vegetable tofu. On the contrary, there was less pickled vegetable and a lot of green and red chili. The contrast of the several colors made it look very beautiful.

When the plate was placed in front of him, he saw that although the tofu had been cut into slices of regular size and thickness, they were not completely white. There were dark green pickled cabbage leaves and some light green.

“It’s the most authentic pickled tofu. ” Tian Fang was very happy.

As a native of Wangcang, he had not returned to his hometown for a long time. The main reason was that there was no one in his hometown. It was the same no matter where he went. However, the taste of his hometown was engraved into his bones and he could not forget it.

Wang Cang’s pickled vegetable tofu was different from other places. It was made with Wang Cang’s unique pickled vegetables and sour water. Therefore, although the tofu was white and tender on the surface, it was mixed with the leaves of the pickled vegetables and the acid water, which made it smell slightly sour.

With the addition of chili and pickled vegetables, the dish tasted sour, spicy, and delicious, which was very appetizing.

Tian Fang could not wait to pick up a slice of tofu and put it into his mouth. A rich sour and spicy taste spread in his mouth. Although there was something in the tofu, it was still very tender and smooth in his mouth. There was only an indescribable sourness, which was very appetizing.

When he took his first bite, all the messy thoughts in Tian Fang’s mind were gone. Only the feeling of deliciousness was left. Unknowingly, he sped up and ate. When he was excited, he saw the White rice at the side and directly picked up his bowl to eat a few mouthfuls of rice. Then, he ate a mouthful of vegetables. Whether it was the side dishes or the tofu, everything entered his stomach very quickly.

“It was worth it.” Tian Fang touched his empty stomach and restrained himself, not ordering another serving.

After tidying up the plates and bowls, Tian Fang looked at the busy figure of Yuan Zhou in the kitchen solemnly and said in a low voice,””Thank you, boss Yuan!”

After that, he turned around and left the restaurant. In a short while, he had disappeared into the surging crowd on Taoxi road.

After the lunchtime ended, Yuan Zhou sent the customers away as usual. Then, he returned to the kitchen and packed the kitchen waste into different piles. He put the flammable ones, the recyclable ones, the poisonous ones, and the others in one pile. After packing each of them, he walked out of the back door and headed in the other direction, where there was a small garbage dump.

In fact, even if it was called a garbage dump, it was just a few large garbage bins. Basically, all the garbage on the street of Taoxi road would be thrown here. The old man of the old couple who had been scavenging collected garbage here and he knew Yuan Zhou.

“Pa”

Yuan Zhou threw the trash into several trash cans separately. Then, he squatted down and picked up some trash on the ground next to him as usual. After that, he put them into several trash cans according to their categories.

If some of them were too broken, he would use the small broom he brought to clean them up, which was very convenient.

Taoxi road had already begun to carry out garbage sorting two months ago. Of course, it was also a trial situation, but it was still relatively easy to adapt to the strict rules of Taoxi road.

It was possible that the sanitation workers didn’t pay attention or weren’t careful when they threw the garbage. Sometimes, the garbage would be scattered on the ground and cause a burden on the sanitation workers. Almost every time Yuan Zhou came to throw the garbage, he would bring a small broom and a small dustpan so that he could help them clean up.

As the person responsible for the appearance and strength of Taoxi road, Yuan Zhou felt there was nothing wrong with consciously protecting the environment here.

After that, Yuan Zhou quickly walked back to the main road. The next person who came to throw the trash saw that the ground was very clean and consciously walked a few more steps to the trash can and threw the trash into it before leaving.

After about an hour, Tian Fang, who was wearing an orange overalls, drove a small car to the trash can and began to pack the bags.

“Boss Yuan has already cleaned it up. He’s really a good person. I’ll go and thank him when I save up next time.” Tian Fang’s mumbling did not hinder him from doing his work.

He nimbly poured the trash can into the divided grid, then put the trash can back to its original place, and waited for a while to wash it. These were the old rules.

After he was done, Tian Fang drove his small car to another street, where there was also a small garbage dump. However, the cleanliness here was different from that of Taoxi road. The garbage was flying everywhere, so Tian Fang had to clean it up bit by bit and sort it out. It took a lot of effort to clean it up.

After that, they went to another street that was also in a mess. However, Tian Fang was only in charge of three streets. As Yuan Zhou’s Taoxi road was much more convenient, he had more time to clean up the other two streets. Therefore, despite his old age, old man Tian was often praised during the year-end evaluation.

This made old master Tian extremely happy and grateful!
