Chapter 238 (2/2)

“What do you understand?” The aged man was made puzzled by Yuan Zhou.

“Could you lend me your stove and the food ingredients?” Instead of answering him, Yuan Zhou asked sincerely.

“Ok, sure. The ingredients are all in the cabinet. You just pay for what you use. Certainly, I will not charge you for cooking the noodles.” The aged man was rather generous.

“I am preparing to cook the Clear Broth Noodle Soup. Do you want a bowl?” Yuan Zhou was a little embarrassed when he heard cooking noodles wouldn’t be charged, therefore he asked.

“That’s great. The noodle soup is easily prepared. I want a small bowl to fill my stomach,” the aged man set down the long tobacco pipe and said leisurely.

“Uncle, I also want one.” Before Yuan Zhou answered the aged man, the voice of the small boy came from the side.

“Ok. A small bowl of the noodle soup for you.” Yuan Zhou indicated that he didn’t bear grudges at all. As the boy was little, he couldn’t eat it up even if Yuan Zhou cooked more.

“Thanks, uncle.” The boy answered with courtesy. Despite the several red spots on his face, he still looked lovable.

What Yuan Zhou intended to cook was naturally the Clear Broth Noodle Soup, the specific type in his restaurant, although there weren’t the same flour and water. The wheat flour produced here was also purely natural and pollution-free while the water was likewise from the clear springs of the mountain. Plus, with Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship, the noodles would definitely be quite delicious.

The cooking procedures of the Clear Broth Noodle Soup were quite familiar to Yuan Zhou. He straightforwardly cooked about three bowls of the noodle soup at one time and scooped it into two big and one small white porcelain bowls.

The white noodles with a hint of yellow, the clear broth and the gradually spreading fragrance all made people drool.

“Whoops. Aren’t there any eggs inside? The chopped green onions are also in the cabinet. Didn’t you find them?” The aged man received the bowl and said with puzzlement.

“Yes, I found them. But the noodles don’t need those things.” It was not a problem for Yuan Zhou who was good at looking for things to find them. However, Yuan Zhou was quite confident. They were not needed to flavor the noodles. He only required the taste and chewiness of the wheat itself.

“Alright. Let’s just eat like that.” The aged man wasn’t really picky with that. He put down the bowl and prepared to eat.

“May I borrow your bowls?” Asked Yuan Zhou tentatively.

“No problem. Take it.” The aged man said generously.

“Take care, uncle,” said the little boy obediently, yet still calling him uncle.

“Thank you.” Yuan Zhou slightly nodded the head and thanked them. He took out a plate to cover the bowl in case the dirt got into the bowl and affected the chewiness and taste.

Naturally, this bowl of noodle soup was prepared for Mr. Ma. Yuan Zhou believed his own culinary skills to be top-notch and he might be able to eat the royal dish if his culinary skills could be improved to a higher level.

Human’s desire for foods was infinite. Numerous people advanced wave upon wave to enjoy the freshness and delicacy of even the poisonous globefish.

Yuan Zhou, nevertheless, would go great lengths in order to eat the royal dish too. For example, Yuan Zhou felt he had performed about 120% of his abilities, thus was awfully satisfied with himself.

It was very easy to find Mr. Ma’s home as he was truly a famous person. In just 5 minutes, Yuan Zhou walked quickly to the gate of Mr. Ma’s home.

“Mr. Ma, here’s your lunch.” It was 2:20 in the afternoon at that time. Mr. Ma presumably hadn’t had lunch yet since he just came back from outside.

“What? Somebody offers me food voluntarily today? I’m not lame yet.” Every time Mr. Ma talked, they weren’t nice words. It seemed that he talked that way to everyone rather than to Yuan Zhou alone as if to say “I don’t look down on you alone, but to everybody.”

“Please, try it.” Yuan Zhou spoke little. He wasn’t a person who was good at interacting with others.

“It’s you, again.” Mr. Ma grunted. Yet, he didn’t refuse the offer and directly sat down to eat the noodles calmly.

However, the grandfather and grandson could no longer calm down…
