In the following days, Yuanzhou would see Li Zhaodi waiting at the back door almost every afternoon. The location remained the same, the humble attitude remained unchanged, and the only thing that changed was his expression. It was getting worse day by day, but every day Every time, Yuan Zhou would be asked to make a snack that was common in the past but almost invisible now.
Although Yuan Zhou was a little confused, but looking at Li Zhaodi's haggard appearance, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he could only speed up the time every time. Whenever the business hours were over, he would come to the back door to see Li Zhaodi first to avoid wasting time.
Respecting others means doing your own thing well. Li Zhaodi didn't talk about his own affairs, and Yuan Zhou didn't ask.
In fact, if Li Hua hadn't been seriously ill this time, maybe Li Zhaodi would still be desperately urging her divorced daughter to continue working to earn money to support her younger brother. It wasn't until Li Hua was sent to the hospital that she realized it was too late. Li Hua had been working for many years and had few jobs. Not to mention a piece of clothing, I don’t even have any savings. I only had the salary for that month because it was only paid the day before I was sent to the hospital and I didn’t have time to transfer it out.
Seeing her daughter's house as empty as a snow cave and her body as thin as firewood, Li Zhaodi suddenly felt that her daughter was also a person, a living person who could cry and laugh. Unfortunately, she was gone now, except for eating delicious snacks. Sometimes, there will be some reaction, and other times there will be no reaction at all.
Although it was painful, Li Zhaodi still knew herself. Nothing could help her now. As long as she could fulfill some of her daughter's wishes, it didn't matter what happened to her. It didn't matter. Unfortunately, it was too late. Otherwise, how could she say anything in the world? It has everything, but there is no such thing as a regret medicine.
Today is the fifth day that Li Zhaodi has been here. As usual, Yuanzhou immediately headed for the back door after lunch time.
"squeak"
When he opened the door, Yuanzhou noticed something was wrong. Usually at this time, he could feel a very eager gaze coming from Li Zhaodi, but not today.
The door was fully opened, and Yuanzhou didn't care about the rice soup and noodles that were coming to his feet. He looked straight at the place where Li Zhaodi was standing. There was no one there.
"Huh?" Yuan Zhou was a little surprised that no one was there.
Yesterday, Li Zhaodi said she was coming today. She usually comes and waits at this time, without exception. What's going on
Unfortunately, Yuan Zhou didn't leave any contact information, so he couldn't contact anyone.
"Rimi, no one is waiting here today, right?" Yuanzhou thought for a while and asked Rimi.
As the favorite and self-proclaimed sentry of the God of Cooking store, Mi Mi boasts that nothing within a ten-meter radius of the store can escape her eyes.
So when Yuan Zhou asked, he immediately said: "Woof woof woof, woof woof, woof."
Yuan Zhou listened carefully and said, "You mean that none of the people who came a few days ago came today, right?"
Rice shook his tail and said: "Woof."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work. I will give you some new food to eat today and see if you like it." Yuanzhou said thoughtfully.
Although he didn't know why Li Zhaodi didn't come on time, Yuanzhou was afraid that she was just delayed because of something, so he directly switched to studying recipes and ancient books in the afternoon, and moved his place to the back door.
Unfortunately, no one was waiting until it was time to prepare the dinner ingredients. Yuanzhou could only return to the kitchen on time to prepare the ingredients.
This lasted for three days, until Yuan Zhou decided not to wait any longer, and was told the reason by Tian Fang who suddenly arrived.
When he learned that Li Zhaodi's daughter was gone and she had returned to the countryside, and asked him to come over to talk to Yuan Zhou and thank him, Yuan Zhou fell silent.
It was only then that Yuanzhou learned the truth about some things from Tian Fang's mouth. Only then did he realize that the great mother he thought he was was not what he had imagined.
After Tian Fang left, Yuanzhou still sat there for a while, not thinking about anything, but it was rare for him to empty his mind, not thinking about anything, just feeling the rare warm breeze in winter.
"Xiaoya and I will definitely be a good pair of parents in the future. If there is a daughter like Xiaoya, she must be pampered like a little princess and grow up." Yuanzhou feels that he can work hard to learn how to do it from now on. He doted on his little princess.
The eldest princess hasn't even married yet, and the little princess has already figured out what to do if a pig comes to harvest her cabbage. She suddenly jumps from the role of father to father-in-law, which is Yuan Zhou. Otherwise, ordinary people The span is large and easy to pull.
During the few days when Yuan Zhou was dealing with Li Zhaodi's request, Yang Wei led Gu Xun and Jiao Hui to officially settle down in the store.
After Yuan Zhou reviewed it, the appointment of Jiao Hui and Gu Xun as the registered disciples of Shanghai Cuisine was officially settled. However, because Yuan Zhou received two cuisines this time, he was not in a hurry to talk about the apprenticeship ceremony and planned to wait until Fujian Cuisine. After I went to school, I held it together with the disciples of Fujian cuisine.
The new Fujian cuisine has not yet been released, and it is difficult to reveal it in advance. Yuan Zhou only said that it would take a while, but this made Gu Xun and Jiao Hui anxious, especially Jiao Hui who was not calm at all.
"Senior Brother Gu, do you think Master Yuan looks down on us and regrets it? It's been a week, why haven't you said anything about becoming a disciple?" Jiao Hui whispered.
Although he has not officially become a disciple, because Gu Xun is older than himself, Jiao Hui is very accustomed to calling him senior brother. However, Yuan Zhou wants to call him master, but if the name is not right, he can only call him in front of master. Add a last name to cover it up.
"No, the master always sticks to his word and does what he says. He will definitely do what he says. Moreover, other cuisines already have registered disciples, and our Shanghai cuisine will definitely not be an exception. Since the master said to wait, then Let's just wait, I'm sure the master has his own considerations." Gu Xun said calmly.
As for whether he is really calm, only he knows in his heart. He has eaten for about two years more than Jiao Hui, and has been in contact with Yuan Zhou twice more. Although he has not officially become a disciple, Gu Xun is already shameless. I called Master in private.
Yuanzhou agreed to accept registered disciples, and had also met Gu Xun and Jiao Hui. Yang Wei did not continue to bring the two people to Yuanzhou for exchanges. After all, one exchange was enough for him to digest it, and several continuous exchanges could digest it. It's been a long time. If it weren't for the promotion of the middle-aged generation in Shanghai cuisine, Yang Wei wouldn't have been able to do such a thing. Now that it has been solved satisfactorily, he will naturally not bother Yuan Zhou anymore.
Jiao Hui met Yuan Zhou once on the night of his arrival. The closest thing to him was when Yuan Zhou was cooking in the kitchen, and he was eating outside. He really didn't understand Yuan Zhou's personality.
But Gu Xun's words made him roll his eyes. How could a person of Yuan Zhou's status do something contrary to his promise, especially on such a big matter? This was not what he was worried about at all.
At this moment, Jiao Hui felt that everyone was drunk and I was alone. It was really difficult for him.
