As Lao Wang’s meatball approached, it felt as if the ground was shaking. It was obvious that it did not just look heavy, but it also felt very heavy. The meat was not empty.

“What is this?” At that time, Xiao Li noticed Yuan Zhou at the side.

“Little Yuan, you’re here to help. Li has something to do at home recently, so he needs to come over in a few days. It just so happens that you’re here today to help, so you’ve made it in time.” Auntie Wu said with a smile.

“Give me the vegetables. I can help wash them first.” Yuan Zhou had worked as an assistant chef in a restaurant before. Naturally, he knew what a dunzi should do, especially in such a small restaurant.

“Good boy, you’re quite diligent. Not bad, not bad.” At that time, old Wang passed by Yuan Zhou and patted his shoulder with his huge palm-leaf fan like palm.

“Old Wang, be gentler. With that strength of yours, little Yuan might not be able to take it.” At the sight of old Wang’s actions, aunt Wu knew that he liked Yuan Zhou’s behavior.

She was still worried that Yuan Zhou wouldn’t be able to withstand old Wang’s great strength. To be honest, if old Wang didn’t have such great strength, he wouldn’t have been able to take care of the kitchen all these years. That was because Auntie Wu herself really didn’t know how to cook and could only serve as an assistant.

“Hahaha, you’re too kind. Little Yuan, you’re quite strong. You’re really not bad.” When old Wang felt Yuan Zhou’s unmoving body, he became even happier.

He liked young men who were strong and healthy. After all, those who came here every day were either sick or full of worry. It was a miracle if there were only a few who were slightly relaxed. Naturally, he liked it if there were positive people around him. Otherwise, it would be bad for anyone to be in a negative mood.

Old Wang did not read many books and did not know about the negative things. He only knew that he liked to see everyone in good health and strong. It made him feel comfortable.

“I’m young, it’s normal for me to be stronger. ” Yuan Zhou said.

Although old Wang had great strength, which was definitely gained from cooking, Yuan Zhou wasn’t bad, either. He did everything, such as tossing the ladle, running, and exercising. Naturally, his strength wasn’t small either.

“Hahaha, that’s right,” Old Wang was very happy, and his chubby face was full of smiles.

He didn’t stop and went straight to the kitchen to prepare. When Auntie Wu saw how happy old Wang was, she took two sips and of course, her face was full of smiles.

“Thank you,” he said. Xiao Li handed several bags to Yuan Zhou.

“You’re welcome,” Yuan Zhou answered.

Then, she took the bag in her hand to the sink, picked up the new apron that aunty Wu had given her before, and tied it on her body. Then, she took out a Disposable Mask from her trouser pocket and put it on before she began to wash.

The woman named Xiao Li provided half a black-bone chicken and a vegetable. There was nothing else.

“Hua la, Hua la”

After Yuan Zhou washed the chicken and vegetables nimbly, he took them to the chopping board at the side and started chopping them.

“Shua shua shua”

The chopping board made a sound when it came into contact with the knife. In just a few moves, the chicken meat in Yuan Zhou’s hands turned from big pieces into even small pieces, almost all of them of the same size.

On the other side, old Wang had also finished preparing the soup. When he came over and saw the same-sized chicken, he said happily,””Your cutting skills are so good. I can’t even cut it well with this size. You’re much better than little li. Little Yuan is really not bad.”

When he heard aunty Wu call him little Yuan, he followed suit and felt that it was so kind.

“I usually practice it.” Yuan Zhou was really cutting the vegetables in a very simple manner. He didn’t use the three animal tools to help him.

“Practice makes perfect. In the past, my cooking didn’t taste good at all, but now that I’ve been cooking for more than ten years, it’s still not bad. It’s the same principle. Keep it up, young man,” After saying that, old Wang took the chicken that Yuan Zhou had filled into the bowl and went to boil it.

Only then did Yuan Zhou realize that old Wang was only using the condiments from the kitchen, including ginger and garlic, goji berries and red dates used for the soup. It turned out that the kitchen also provided condiments for customers.

“No wonder it can’t be opened without any support. It’s indeed very cheap. Even with official support, it’s impossible to get all the services. Maybe I can do something else.” Yuan Zhou thought in the heart.

Just as old Wang started to make the soup, a few more people came into the shop. Two of them looked listless and sickly. They were obviously sick, while the other three looked a little Haggard.

Apparently, they were all regular customers. They greeted Auntie Wu as soon as they entered the kitchen. Three of them walked into the kitchen and started to cook on the stove on the other side. Apparently, they intended to cook by themselves. The other two came over and handed the bag to Yuan Zhou.

Yuan Zhou opened it and found it was just some tofu, bean sprouts, and so on. Obviously, they were all vegetarian dishes. He didn’t have time to think about anything else and directly began to wash them. At the same time, he asked old Wang what dish he was going to cook so that he could change the knife.

After he answered, he would start.

They were all dishes with a light taste. The pot-collapsed tofu and stir-fried silver teeth were especially easy to prepare, especially the soybean sprouts. After Yuan Zhou quickly removed the head and tail of the bean sprouts, they turned into silver-white and looked much more attractive.

“Little Yuan, bring out two bowls of rice. One is just right and the other is soft and mushy.” Aunt Wu called Yuan Zhou from outside. The main reason was that several more people came in. Aunt Wu went to help those who were cooking for themselves to wash the vegetables, so she didn’t have time.

“Alright,” he said. After Yuan Zhou answered, he came to the other side where the tableware should have been placed. There were three huge rice cookers there.

Previously, Auntie Wu had mentioned that they didn’t provide rice in the past as they really couldn’t afford it. When people brought rice, they would really let them cook. It was only after the official support that they were able to provide rice. Their own cooking and vegetable rice were 50 cents, while meat dishes were free.

Yuan Zhou felt that this was quite good. After all, one had to eat.

Of the three rice cookers, one was used to cook porridge, and the other two were used to cook rice. The degree of softness and mussiness was different. He had considered everything quite thoroughly.

When Yuan Zhou carried the dishes out, he found that the dishes were ordered by the two sickly-looking men.

As he approached, he heard the older one say to the younger one,””You’re scheduled for your chemotherapy in the morning? You look like you’ve done it before. ”

“I’m busy today in the morning. Yours is still in the afternoon, so I can’t go with you this time. But I think we can go with you tomorrow.” The younger one said.

“Here’s your rice,” Yuan Zhou carried the rice to the two people and said.

“Thank you,” he said. The two of them thanked him politely.

Then, he picked up the bowl of rice and began to eat slowly. It was just two vegetable dishes, but old Wang’s cooking speed was still very fast. He had already prepared the dishes long ago. Especially since Yuan Zhou was very fast in processing the ingredients, old Wang’s cooking speed had imperceptibly increased.

“Eh? Why does today’s tofu taste better than yesterday ‘s? it’s even more flavorful. ” The older one ate a few pieces of tofu.

“It’s probably because uncle Wang’s skills have improved. Today’s bean sprouts don’t have a fishy smell. They’re quite good. ” The younger ones felt bitter and tasteless in their mouths, but the light bean sprouts were quite good. At least they could be eaten.

“It’s possible. ” The older man nodded in agreement.

Then, the two of them focused on eating. They ate slowly, as if they were counting the grains one by one, but they actually ate them all, which was very rare.
