Chapter 869: Forget Oneself

All the knives Yuan Zhou had taken out were supplied by the system when the restaurant was first opened. They should have been sharpened long ago if these were ordinary knives. But it had been delayed as these system-provided knives were very durable.

And thus, this was the first time Yuan Zhou sharpening all the knives in his kitchen.

“All these knives are provided by the system. They are indeed of excellent quality, and all of them have consistent quality. It is almost like they were manufactured from the same batch in the same factory,” Yuan Zhou concluded after he studied all the knives.

Regardless of whether it was sharpness level or the width of the edge, all were at a suitable level for cutting ingredients. Moreover, all of them looked exactly the same.

“These knives are indeed excellent, but not good for practicing knife sharpening,” Yuan Zhou frowned. He decided to warm up with some ordinary knives first. He could not start straight with knives that were difficult to sharpen.

Just as Yuan Zhou was thinking, the crowd around him started talking among themselves.

“Is Boss Yuan not sculpting ice today?”

“Yeah, what’s that?”

“He’s sharpening knives. It’s obvious. That is obviously a whetstone.”

“Now that you said it, it has been quite a while since I hear people hawking their sharpening services.”

“True. I feel like we are hearing less and less of it nowadays. Moreover, the sellers don’t include sharpening service as well. Are we supposed to throw all our old knives away nowadays?”

The crowd kept talking among themselves, but fortunately, they weren’t too loud that Yuan Zhou was disturbed. But when he heard their discussion, he had a spark of inspiration.

Yuan Zhou raised his head and looked at the crowd. He did not find Master Cheng, and thus, he turned and entered the restaurant.

Ta. Ta. Ta. The moment he entered, he rushed to the second floor.

He headed straight to his room and started writing on a piece of paper with a marker pen on his desk.

Swish! Swish! Swish! He wrote quickly, the scribbling sound resounding in the room.

Before long, he finished writing. He wrote three lines in total, and all the words were rather large. People only needed to walk nearer to read what was on the paper.

These words were written: Free knife sharpening, five knives at once, get it back in one hour.]

“Um, this should work,” Yuan Zhou looked at the paper in satisfaction.

That’s right. Yuan Zhou had decided to provide free sharpening services to the people here. With that, he could practice his sharpening skills and could also practice sharpening various types of knives. One could say that this was an offer that benefited both parties involved.

After all, he had heard earlier that it had been a while since people were offering sharpening services were here.

When Yuan Zhou arrived downstairs, Master Cheng was already waiting outside with a wooden case.

“Master Yuan, what should I do now?” Master Cheng carefully placed his case down and asked after taking the paper and wooden frame from Yuan Zhou.

“Paste this paper on the frame and set it aside for now,” Yuan Zhou said.

“Ok,” Master Cheng nodded and started getting to work.
