Chapter 452 (1/2)

“I feel that each of your rewards are beyond all expectations.” When Yuan Zhou said that, he obviously gnashed his teeth.

However, the system didn’t respond to him at all.

“Receive the reward.” Yuan Zhou sighed. He still received the reward at last.

Yuan Zhou was quite clear-headed. Something was better than nothing.

It was still raining lightly outside the restaurant.

“Hoo… The seasoning really looks nice. Let me cook for myself this evening for a midnight snack.” After Yuan Zhou received the preparation method for the Spicy Hotpot, he stroked his own chin and said with great interest.

“Ta Ta Ta”, Yuan Zhou stepped out of the restaurant.

After a sound of “Hoo…”, a blast of wind blew towards him.

“It’s so cold.” Yuan Zhou was wearing some normal clothing inside the Han Clothing. He didn’t wear the thermal underwear, because it was inconvenient for him to move about.

Besides, it was very warm in the restaurant, just like the weather in Spring.

Even some of the flowers on the shelf had flower buds.

“Little Yuan, don’t come out today to sculpt anymore. It’s so cold outside.” Seeing Yuan Zhou intending to go out, Boss Tong immediately peeked out and said to him.

“Um, don’t worry. Please take care of yourself.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then also said with a caring tone.

“I’m not like you young people, so I will close my store very soon.” Boss Tong said with a smile.

“Okay. Take an early rest.” Yuan Zhou showed a faint smile.

“I know.” Boss Tong nodded her head and then turned around back into her store.

Then the side street became cold and cheerless.

Originally, the stores along this street had been either closed or were for rent. However, the presence of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant directly made this street into a bustling and lively place. Although there was no one in the street now, every restaurant was open and waiting for the customers to drop by.

There were many customers at meal time around here and therefore, those who weren’t running restaurants changed their meal time.

They did that just because they wanted to have more business.

After all, the queuing machine had been put into use and thus, the customers in the latter part could naturally go somewhere else to wander.

“Little Boss Yuan, what are you standing here for?” Holding a big black umbrella, Boss Wang passed by Yuan Zhou’s restaurant with his aching legs and asked conveniently.

“I’m checking the weather,” said Yuan Zhou primly.

“The weather is bad, but it won’t affect your business. Don’t worry about that.” Boss Wang burst into laughter and said earnestly.

“Where are you going?” Yuan Zhou didn’t answer him, but inquired back.

“I’m going to buy some Mantou. I’m going to cook the Fried Pork Slices with Salted Pepper today to eat together with the Mantou.”

Although Boss Wang spoke the most authentic Chengdu dialect, he liked eating Mantou. Yuan Zhou knew that and thus nodded his head.

“Okay. Take care.” Yuan Zhou said courteously.

“Sure.” Boss Wang nodded and then walked forward.

“Pa Da Pa Da”. Boss Wang took a few steps forward and then stopped. After that, he turned around and asked with an affirmative and cordial smile on his fatty face, “Boss Yuan, are those water pipes in your restaurant fine? If there are any problems, do come to me.”

“Uncle Wang, your craftsmanship is well known to me. It’s still working well now.” Yuan Zhou said with certainty immediately.

“Perfect.” Having been praised by Boss Yuan, Boss Wang held up the umbrella and walked away happily.

Once he walked farther for some distance, the street fell silent again and only the sound of raindrops could be heard. Suddenly, Yuan Zhou’s amusing temperament was activated. He said to himself, “Isn’t it necessary for me to recite poems on this rainy day?”

“Light rain moistened the heavenly street… Wait, Wu Hai is on the second floor of that building. Forget it.” Just when Yuan Zhou recited one sentence while wagging his head, he immediately remembered that Wu Hai was living across the street and thus stopped reciting.
