Chapter 782 - Yuan Zhou Gaining Knowledge (1/2)

As Yuan Zhou had his own congee for lunch, he was now feeling much better. The stomach that ache slightly did not feel as bad anymore. Therefore, he did not have to shut his eyes and rest in the car. Rather, he was enjoying the scenery outside.

Xiao Xing was still turning his head to look at Yuan Zhou occasionally. He was not planning to give up, intending to convince Yuan Zhou.

“Mr. Yuan, Master Chef Yuan, look, you are so good at cooking. Why do you need to bother with the unauthentic Beijing Roasted Duck?” Xiao Xing said.

“It’s still a good idea to give Thailand’s Beijing Roasted Duck a try,” Yuan Zhou said.

“But your stomach is feeling unwell, right? The roasted duck would be too greasy for the current you. You haven’t eaten any meat during lunch,” Xiao Xing recalled that Yuan Zhou had not eaten any of the Sour and Spicy Chicken Shreds during lunch.

“Um. That was a dish I prepared just for you,” Yuan Zhou said as he tossed Xiao Xing a glance.

“Cough, cough. That is spicy food. A sick person should not eat too much of it anyway. That’s what my girlfriend used to say,” Xiao Xing said, feeling somewhat awkward.

“Um,” Yuan Zhou nodded and did not say anything else.

“So, should we eat the roasted duck next time?” Xiao Xing probed cautiously, his face filled with hope.

“I’m flying back tomorrow,” Yuan Zhou replied.

“Ah? It has been five days already? So fast?” Xiao Xing was in disbelief.

“Yes,” Yuan Zhou nodded, joy apparent on his face.

Yuan Zhou was naturally happy that he could return home. He suddenly recalled the man and woman he encountered when eating the other day.

“I wonder if they have already returned,” Yuan Zhou wondered.

“Sigh,” Xiao Xing sighed with a look of defeat on his face. He then focused on driving.

Because of the distance, they arrived at around 3:40 pm, just in time for the train.

“Here, this is the place. They will lower that railing later to block traffic as the train is coming soon. Look, they are starting to clear their stuff,” Xiao Xing introduced.

“Um,” Yuan Zhou observed seriously.

This was a street that wasn’t exactly spacious. As the width of a railway was fixed and the two sides of the railway were small stores, many of the stalls had already encroached upon the railway.

As the train was going to pass by soon, everyone started to put their stuff away in a calm and unhurried manner. They weren’t rushing but moved in an agile manner.

Most of the vendors only needed to pull their stalls backward. As for the stores, their doors remained open while the people stood in the stores waiting for the train to pass.

Sharp at four, the train slowly approached.

A humming sound rang in the air.

“The train is here. You can get a clear look at it now,” Xiao Xing said.

“Yeah, I see it,” Yuan Zhou nodded.

This train was unlike the streamlined trains Yuan Zhou was used to in China. When the train passed, the air pressure and vibration were sufficient to shake the stairs there and leave a humming sound in a person’s ears.

The train moved slowly, looking identical to the green trains that used to run on the Chinese railway system.

“It’s not fast,” Yuan Zhou said.

“Yeah, there’s nothing special about its speed,” Xiao Xing nodded.

“Do you want to go in and take a stroll?” Xiao Xing asked when he saw the railing being lifted.

“Um.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

When Xiao Xing saw that Yuan Zhou was nodding, he parked his car at a spacious spot and brought Yuan Zhou to the Railway Market.

Not much stuff was being sold here. After trying some local fruits, Yuan Zhou stopped buying anything.

Xiao Xing who was hoping that Yuan Zhou would buy some food ingredients was extremely disappointed. However, he kept his mouth shut.

No matter what, Xiao Xing was extremely professional in his job.

“Let’s go,” Yuan Zhou stopped when they reached the groceries section of the market.
