Noon, Yuanzhou
"Boss Yuan, will there be a barbecue tonight?" a diner asked with a smile.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Oh, I knew it. You see, I was right." The diner immediately turned around excitedly and said to the diner next to him.
"Boss Yuan, do you open a barbecue every time you come back from a break?" the diner asked curiously.
"No, it's going to rain tonight." Yuan Zhou said seriously.
Completely ignoring, the warm winter sun outside is shining warmly on people.
"But isn't it sunny outside?" The diner pointed at Zhao Jin with a puzzled expression.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Then why is it raining?" The diner looked at Yuan Zhou and asked.
"Because I said so." When Yuan Zhou said this, he was as casual and serious as asking a diner what he had eaten today.
"Uh..." The diner was speechless.
"Haha, I don't care about anything else. Anyway, we have barbecue today." This is Mazhida with an excited face.
"But there's no wine." Chen Wei's rough and deep voice sounded from the side.
"Mr. Chen is back?" Ma Zhida was startled and looked to the side.
Chen Wei had a small scab on his face, and he looked sharper, but when he talked about wine, his expression was still the same unhappy.
"Well, I just arrived today." Chen Wei nodded.
"What's wrong with your face?" Ma Zhida asked, pointing at Chen Wei's face.
"It must have hit the door." Yuan Zhou said seriously.
"Yes." Unexpectedly, Chen Wei did not refute, but nodded seriously.
"Huh?" Mazhida looked confused.
"Such a small wound can only be scratched on the door." Yuan Zhou said seriously.
"Boss Yuan, my wine." Chen Wei stared at Yuan Zhou and said seriously.
Then Yuan Zhou turned around and left, returned to the kitchen and started cooking directly.
"Just kidding, the system said today that it will rain tonight." Yuan Zhou muttered in his heart, and if it rains, there will be no wine. This is a rule he has followed.
"You're stupid. Barbecue is meant to be paired with wine. If Boss Yuan doesn't provide it, why don't we have Boss Fang?" Ma Zhida said this without avoiding Yuan Zhou and said directly.
"Well, you are still smart." Upon hearing this, Chen Wei raised his thick eyebrows and said happily.
"Let's come together tonight." Mazhida said with a smile.
"Okay, let's have a drink then, and I'll get two more appetizers." Chen Wei said cheerfully.
"Boss Fang's salad dish with wine is really good." Ma Zhida had eaten that dish.
"His is nothing, Boss Yuan's is the most delicious. Once you eat that spicy food and take a sip of Pitong wine, it will be heart-burning and refreshing." Chen Wei couldn't help but swallowed his saliva.
"That being said, I really want to try Boss Yuan's wine." Ma Zhida has never drunk Yuan Zhou's wine. After all, he doesn't like drinking, so naturally he won't spend 88 to buy wine.
"Excuse me, am I the boss you are talking about?" A voice suddenly appeared from the corner, it was Fang Heng.
"Cough cough cough." Ma Zhida turned around and saw an earth-shattering cough, showing how embarrassed he was.
"Hey, Boss Fang is here. I'm going to get some wine today. Can you bring me a pot of your old wine and appetizers?" As for Chen Wei, he was not embarrassed at all and said this.
"My snacks and wine don't seem to be very good." Fang Heng had a smile on his face, but his voice was gritty.
"It would be humiliating to compare with Boss Yuan back then, but when it comes to drinking other things, it's top-notch." Chen Wei always has a serious look on his face, so no matter what he says, he is very credible.
No, Fang Heng believed it.
"Comparing with that monster is not fun for me." Fang Heng glanced at Yuan Zhou, whose hands were flying and he was immersed in the ingredients, and muttered.
"Okay, I'll bring it in the evening, and then you can give me the money." Fang Heng then looked at Chen Wei and said.
"No problem." Chen Wei nodded readily.
The lunch break lasted only two hours, so it passed quickly.
As usual, Yuanzhou sat at the door after cleaning up the kitchen, preparing to carve.
But now no one sticks their head out from the next door to say hello. Fortunately, Yuan Zhou is used to it.
However, when looking at the knife, Yuanzhou thought of the old imperial chef's specialty dish again.
"Now we are all settled." Yuan Zhou thought of yesterday's birthday banquet and felt a huge weight drop in his heart.
Yuan Zhou was originally a stubborn person and was unwilling to violate his own rules. For example, he was absolutely unwilling to go out to cook and deal with people. But when Liu Jianan told Mr. Ma, he had to go.
Otherwise, Yuanzhou would not be able to pass his level.
"It seems that we can find time to practice chicken." Yuanzhou was also ready to make plans for the royal meal.
He had been talking about practice before, but he hadn't practiced yet, but now he could start.
"System, will you provide chicken when I practice chicken cooking?" Yuanzhou's kitchen cannot prepare other ingredients, so he naturally has to pay attention to the system.
The system displays: "No."
"It's really neat and tidy. Can I bring him in for practice?" Yuan Zhou asked curiously.
The system now reads: "Just ask the host to work hard to upgrade."
"Haha, you are cruel, I will practice with fish!" Yuanzhou suddenly thought of a substitute.
The practice of making chicken is a test of knife skills. Since it is still not allowed to be brought in for practice, it is also good to practice deboning.
"Speaking of which, with fish, there are more dishes for barbecue." Yuan Zhou thought of this.
Another very important thing is that prices are going to increase.
"Why don't you take the previous portion and add another portion to the fish?" Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of a good idea.
After sitting down and sorting everything out, Yuan Zhou picked up the knife and started carving.
This sitting time lasted for a long time, and he did not move for two or three hours. It was not until the alarm clock woke up Yuan Zhou that he came back to his senses from the serious and selfless carving.
During dinner, the weather outside was not as friendly as it was during the day. By the time the barbecue started, there was already light rain.
The "whooshing" cold wind blows straight into people's necks.
"Oh, it's still warm in Boss Yuan's shop, it's too cold." Ma Zhida took off the tightly wrapped scarf and said with a smile on his face.
"It's really cold today." Chen Weidu nodded in agreement.
After all, this guy is basically as strong as an ox. A dozen days ago, in early December, he was only wearing a coat and long sleeves.
"Hey, why is Boss Yuan's plate empty?" Ma Zhida looked curiously at an empty tray beside him with the price written on it.
"That's fish. Grilled fish is available today." Yuan Zhou said calmly.
"Oh, it's actually a big meat dish. Come on, have some." Mazhida said impatiently.
"Okay, wait a minute." Yuan Zhou nodded, then turned back to catch fish in the tank.
"I wonder what Boss Yuan's grilled fish tastes like." Ma Zhida thought happily.
