Chapter 670 - Flaunting Their Relationships Openly (1/2)

On the morning of Chinese New Year’s Eve, Yuan Zhou woke up at the usual time.

“Morning.” It was rare for Yuan Zhou to open his eyes immediately after he woke up. Suddenly, he greeted the empty room.

His voice was soft, but in this quiet room, it was still very clear.

After he washed up quickly, Yuan Zhou continued to head out to jog.

“Ho… Ho…” Yuan Zhou regulated his breathing while running and emitted white vapor.

“Boss Yuan, do you jog every day?” He encountered Huang Ling who was cleaning the street.

“Yeah, morning,” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then greeted her.

“Boss Yuan, happy Chinese New Year’s Eve,” said Huang Ling to Yuan Zhou loudly when he passed by her.

“You too,” after saying that, Yuan Zhou continued jogging forward.

“Ta Ta Ta”, the footsteps of Yuan Zhou receded gradually. At that time, Huang Ling heaved a sigh.

“I have to go back earlier today to prepare the Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner.” Huang Ling thought of her young brother Huang Li at home and immediately moved more quickly.

On the morning of Chinese New Year’s Eve, Yuan Zhou didn’t open the door. Even the queuing machine was moved back into the backyard of the pub.

It was soon 8 in the morning. There was nobody queuing outside the door and Taoxi Road was extraordinarily quiet today.

“It’s really quiet.” Yuan Zhou put on the lightweight Han Chinese Clothing and tight-fitting, cotton-padded trousers and then began to do the cleaning outside and in with the rag.

That’s right. Yuan Zhou was doing the cleaning in the deserted restaurant. He worked very carefully. Even if the restaurant was spotless due to the existence of the system, he was still cleaning very seriously.

It was a must to clean the house inside out to celebrate the new year. One should have a new appearance for the upcoming new year, which was said by his mother when he was little.

“The cleaning can be finished today. Luckily, just sweeping will do, Mom shouldn’t have a problem with that. After all, I cleaned it up much better than Dad did.” Thinking of the cleaning done on Chinese New Year’s Eve in previous years, Yuan Zhou couldn’t help revealing a smile and saying proudly.

It might be because it was Chinese New Year’s Eve today, the sun surprisingly came out at noon. Yuan Zhou stayed in the courtyard of the pub and looked up at it.

“Shall I cook the Vegetable Stir-fried With Button Mushrooms?” When Yuan Zhou returned to the kitchen and prepared to cook lunch, he suddenly muttered to himself.

While saying that, Yuan Zhou reached out his hand and opened the cabinet filled with food ingredients.

“Pa”, the cabinet was opened very easily. There were green vegetables inside with a vivid green color and they even had water drops on the leaves. At first sight, they appeared to be fresh.

“Forget it.” Yuan Zhou suddenly closed the door of the cabinet again. Then, he opened another cabinet and began to prepare the food ingredients.

Yuan Zhou took a different approach this time. He took out a piece of beef from the preservation tank. It showed a beautiful rouge-like redness and the texture was distinct and tender, which made it appear quite fresh, as if it had barely been cut off the body of a cow.

However, this piece of beef was apparently different from the one provided by the system. It smelled a little bit offensive.

“Hua La”, Yuan Zhou took out a wok from the innermost cabinet of the azure stone countertop. It was obviously a used one.

“Good. It seems that I had pretty sharp eyes previously. Even though it hasn’t been used for such a long time, it still looks so new.” Yuan Zhou looked at the 80% new wok and felt quite satisfied.

That’s right. This wok was placed upstairs and used by Yuan Zhou to only cook gruel or instant noodles before. It was the only wok left after the system’s redecoration.

Yuan Zhou was prepared to boil the beef with it after he washed it.

Yuan Zhou selected the most tender part of beef, namely the tenderloin, also known as the rib fingers at the inside of the backbone or at the ventral part.

The beef there was an intact piece of lean meat. It was very tender and thus was quite suitable for a quick fry. After Yuan Zhou washed the wok clean, however, he directly added water to the wok and began to boil it. Apparently, he was going to boil the beef.

“The beef is supposed to be easy to chew,” Yuan Zhou cut the beef into small cubes suitable for swallowing and then said.

After that, Yuan Zhou started to cook lunch for himself.
