Chapter 1328: Liu Tong’s Lu cuisine
Of course, Yuan Zhou had no idea about Liu Tong’s plan. Even Zhou Shijie didn’t know.
After all, Liu Tong was well aware of how much Zhou Shijie planned for Yuan Zhou.
Therefore, Liu Tong drove directly to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant the next morning.
He came very early. The breakfast time in the restaurant had not passed yet. There was still a line of people at the door. In addition, Taoxi road was also as lively in the morning.
“It’s a good thing I came early. Otherwise, I would have to wait for Yuan Zhou to finish sculpting when the breakfast time ends. ” Liu Tong walked into the alley slowly and leisurely.
Breakfast time hadn’t passed yet, but Liu Tong didn’t have a chance to eat at the moment, so he bought breakfast outside.
“A steamed bun and a cup of soybean milk.” Liu Tong directly said to the old lady beside him.
That’s right, it was quite a coincidence that the place where Liu Tong bought the steamed buns was the place where the old woman set up her stall.
As usual, the old woman was dressed very cleanly. Her hair was combed back meticulously, and she was wearing a light-colored long shirt and long pants with a white apron around her.
Now that the old lady was wearing a mask, she looked fresh and clean.
In front of him were two wooden thermal containers as usual, covered with thick cotton wadding to keep warm.
The insulation barrels had been improved. Wooden wheels were installed at the bottom for the old woman to push, which was more energy-saving.
“Okay, wait a moment. Young man, do you want to eat now or later?” The old lady asked.
“I’m eating now. ” Liu Tong said.
“Okay. Hold the soy milk and steamed buns. They’re still warm.” The old lady handed over two items.
It was a white steamed bun the size of an adult man’s fist. It was wrapped in oil paper and just revealed the corner of the bun that could be eaten. The soybean milk was also in a paper cup with a straw beside it.
Moreover, the temperature of the soybean milk and the mantou were just right for the mouth, neither too hot nor too cold.
“Thank you,” he said. Liu Tong received it with both hands and nodded.
“You’re welcome. Eat. ” The old grandma said with a smile.
“How much is it?” Liu Tong asked after biting the steamed bun.
“There’s no hurry. You can give it to me after you eat it. ” The old grandma waved her hand.
“Alright, I’ll give it to you after I’m done.” Liu Tong looked at his empty hands and nodded.
“Eat slowly. The soybean milk is still a little hot.” The old lady said and then went back to her business.
Because at this time, someone came to buy mantou and soy milk.
While eating the mantou and soybean milk, Liu Tong paid attention to the situation in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant from time to time, preparing to go up and talk to Yuan Zhou about the opening once the time was over.
Therefore, Liu Tong ate the steamed bun and soybean milk very contentedly.
In fact, the old grandma’s mantou had an average taste, but it was very clean. The soybean milk was also light.
However, Liu Tong still finished the steamed bun and soybean milk seriously.
As a talented chef who had been working as a chef for many years, Liu Tong had the same taste as other chefs.
Liu Tong was used to eating light and simple food, so it was normal for him to eat steamed buns and soybean milk for breakfast.
Watching Liu Tong finish the food seriously, the old woman was very happy. She said again with a smile,”Young man, are you full? there’s more here.”
“I’m full, thank you,” Liu Tong shook his head, then took out some change and handed it to the old lady.
When they were eating, Liu Tong had observed the prices of the old grandma’s steamed buns and soybean milk.
“You’re just in time. Thank you, young man. ” The old lady kept the money carefully.
“You’re welcome,” Liu Tong shook his head.
After saying that, Liu Tong walked quickly towards Yuan Zhou’s restaurant with a clear target.
It was because Liu Tong had already seen the last customer come out when he paid the bill. Zhou Jia and Cheng Hao were also preparing to come out after saying goodbye.
“Ta ta ta.” Liu Tong passed by Zhou Jia and Cheng Cheng when he walked into the restaurant.
Zhou Jia and Cheng Han turned their heads and looked at Liu Tong subconsciously. However, Liu Tong walked directly towards Yuan Zhou with a clear target.
At that time, Yuan Zhou was washing his hands. When he saw the person coming in, he looked over subconsciously.
Liu Tong was dressed in a formal three-piece suit with a tie. He looked like he was here to pay a visit.
Yuan Zhou looked at him without changing his expression.”His face is still familiar. He’s uncle Zhou’s disciple. But what’s his name again?”
“Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu, Zheng, and Wang Tong?” Although Yuan Zhou’s expression didn’t change on the surface, he was matching Liu Tong’s surname in his heart.
However, before Yuan Zhou could recall Liu Tong’s surname, Liu Tong opened his mouth.
“Good Morning, boss Yuan,” Liu Tong greeted him directly.
“Yes, Hello.” Yuan Zhou chose the most conservative way to respond.
“Boss Yuan’s business is still as good as ever.” Liu Tong said.
Yuan Zhou answered with a sound of “hmm.”
“Boss Yuan, I’m Liu Tong, the youngest apprentice of Chairman Zhou. I’ve been here for meals with my master before. I was also here when boss Yuan had meals with my master a few times before.” Liu Tong began to introduce himself.
“I remember.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head seriously.
“I came here today to ask for your help.” Liu Tong was very serious and polite when he asked for help.
However, Yuan Zhou didn’t agree immediately. Instead, he said,”Tell me what it is.”
Yuan Zhou said calmly. It was hard to tell if he was willing or not.
Liu Tong organized his words in his mind and then said, “I’m going to open a gourmet Hall now, and it’ll be open soon. ”
When he said that, Liu Tong paused for a while and looked at Yuan Zhou. However, Yuan Zhou merely nodded his head to show that he understood and then continued.
Liu Tong had no choice but to say again,”boss Yuan, I want to invite you to cut the ribbon at 10:00 in the morning three days later. It’s just the ribbon-cutting ceremony. I won’t let you worry about anything else.”
As Liu Tong knew that Yuan Zhou was a cooking fanatic and would refuse all the troublesome things, he specially added this sentence in case Yuan Zhou found it troublesome.
Yuan Zhou just listened to him quietly without saying anything.
After saying that, Liu Tong was silent for a while before he took the initiative to say,”I also cook Shandong cuisine. This time, the restaurant is also selling Shandong cuisine. If boss Yuan is willing, I hope you can also stay and hold the banquet.”
This time, Liu Tong had nothing to say. After all, they were not familiar with each other. Even though Liu Tong knew the reason and many other things, he rarely had the chance to talk face to face.
Liu Tong’s understanding came from the food group.
That’s right. Liu Tong believed in “know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.” Therefore, after realizing that Yuan Zhou was very powerful, he sneakily joined the gourmet Group.
However, Liu Tong was a long-time lurker, the kind of person who basically didn’t speak and only peeked at the screen.
However, Liu Tong was still very concerned about the latest news about Yuan Zhou.
Because of this, after knowing too many of Yuan Zhou’s past deeds, Liu Tong’s initial desire to defeat Yuan Zhou turned into a more practical goal of improving Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship.
While Yuan Zhou was seriously considering whether he should go or not, the restaurant suddenly became quiet.
Quite a while later, just when Liu Tong was about to repeat himself, Yuan Zhou nodded his head slightly and said,””Yes, I will be there.”
This meant that he agreed …
