Chapter 1631: The first idea failed
At night, the sky was filled with stars.
It was already very late. Shen Min had already taken the last bus home.
Having decided to go to Shanghai, Shen Min was even more diligent in the pub tonight. At present, there were only draft beer, bamboo liquor, and red wine in the pub. There were not many things to do, but Shen Min seemed to be using up all her strength.
Seeing that, Yuan Zhou didn’t say anything. Shen Min didn’t mention the farewell banquet tonight. Perhaps she didn’t know how to say it, or perhaps she felt it wasn’t the right time yet.
In the middle of the night, Yuan Zhou, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly woke up.
The reason he woke up wasn’t because of a nightmare, but because he thought of a possibility of the real perfume in his dream and quickly got up to verify it.
What one thought in the day, one would dream at night. Perhaps Yuan Zhou had been thinking during the day, so he naturally thought about it even in his dreams.
However, there was one thing. The things in the dream might always be clear, but it was more likely that they would forget everything when they woke up in the morning.
“Is it possible that the real perfume contains some crunchy ingredients, and after mixing them together, the noodles will also taste crunchy?”
The language of classical Chinese was concise, and the bones were eaten again, like a string being stretched, like flicking teeth… The bones could be understood here as the face becoming chewy, and it could also be understood as other things becoming chewy.
Yuan Zhou busied himself in the kitchen for a while and finished the sauce he had expected. First, he used the crisp lotus root. The color of the Lotus root strips was similar to that of the noodles. When eaten together with the noodles, it could also reach the level described in the book.
“Let me try it now.” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself and then started to eat.
Actually, with Yuan Zhou’s current culinary skills, it was quite difficult to deliberately make the food taste bad. Therefore, Yuan Zhou directly cooked a bowl of clear soup with plain water and specially cooked the noodles well according to the instructions in the book.
“Oh.” Yuan Zhou began to eat a little. The noodles mixed with the Lotus root spicy sauce could barely achieve the effect of improving the taste and chewiness, but he still judged it as a failure.
“If I want to achieve the effect described in the book, I will need a lot of lotus roots until the end of the meal.”
“Even if we don’t consider the transparent color of the real perfume, the difference in size is too big.” Yuan Zhou said.
Yuan Zhou wasn’t a data lover, but he had roughly summarized the amount of the perfume used in the book. The real perfume should only be 10ml to 20ml, but what he used just now was equivalent to noodles with soy sauce.
“It’s so difficult. No wonder it’s a real perfume that doesn’t even have a system.” Yuan Zhou sighed with emotion and then went back to his bed to continue sleeping.
When Yuan Zhou went to bed, it was already 2:00 am. However, it was still very busy at the place where he would roast whole cows in the future.
“I’ll work overtime. Boss Wu said that I’ll get triple the overtime pay. The faster I finish, the more bonus I’ll get.”
“Of course, we also have to guarantee the quality.”
The foreman said loudly,”also, boss Wu said that if your body can’t take it, you should tell me immediately. In construction and renovation, a mistake can cause injuries. Think about it. If you get injured, even if you pay for the medical and nutrition expenses, you won’t be able to earn money for a long time. Don’t joke around with your body.”
“We’re still going according to plan. We’ll definitely be able to complete it in two weeks, so don’t be too anxious.”
The work at the construction site was all hard work. In fact, the biggest difference between Chinese people and foreigners was their tenacity.
The importance of survival could bend many people’s backbones, but most of the people in the country would not be broken by it. Just like these cattle roasting sites, they had to work for so many hours a day, and it was still a hot day.
Even Wu Yungui, a busy man, would take time to visit Yuan Zhou from time to time because of his relationship with Yuan Zhou. From time to time, he would also ask someone to cook a big pot of sour plum soup to quench the summer heat and thirst.
In fact, Wu Yun GUI didn’t have to do this. The sour plum soup really didn’t cost much, but once a heat stroke occurred and a construction accident happened, it would be serious. What was surprising was that most people didn’t understand this simple truth. Well, maybe they just pretended not to understand.
The next day, Wu Yungui was being interviewed. As a popular figure in the business circle, his interviews came one after another.
He accepted an interview with entrepreneurial weekly early in the morning.
“Director Wu, your company’s stock price has been rising due to the success of the Chenghua District Food City project. Your investment in Chenghua has also been rated as the most successful investment case in recent years. Do you have any business secrets that you can share with the vast number of entrepreneurs?” The reporter said.
“Human-based.” Wu Yungui said,”it seems that these four words are very vague. Indeed, everyone also thinks that it is vague. But in fact, I think that investors have far more returns than land, futures, regional chains, and other series of investments.”
“Investor? Boss Wu, are you talking about the person who invested and created this project?” The reporter said.
Wu Yungui frowned, but he didn’t want to explain much. He relaxed his brows and said,””You can say that.”
“Then, boss Wu, according to what you said, the food City you invested in this time is also an investor?” The reporter continued to ask questions. He was quite smart and knew how to draw inferences from one case.
“Of course,” Wu Yungui replied with certainty.
“Then, boss Wu, can you reveal who it is? It allowed boss Wu to make the decision to use such a large amount of funds. ” The reporter was in high spirits.
“Of course… I can’t reveal it, hahaha.” Wu Yungui deliberately took a long breath.
After that, the reporters asked a few more regular questions and Wu Yungui answered them one by one. After the interview, Wu Yungui left in a hurry.
Wu Yungui looked at the time and muttered to himself, “It’s just right to line up at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant at this time. “
Thinking of this, Wu Yungui was about to call the driver to set off, but before he could make the call, the Secretary knocked on the door.
“Come in.” Wu Yungui greeted the Secretary and he entered the office.
“What’s the matter?”Wu Yungui asked.
“There’s an urgent document that needs you to deal with. ” The Secretary took out the document and placed it in front of Wu Yungui.
Wu Yungui was silent for a long time after reading it. Then he said, “I’ll be having a lunch meeting at noon. “
“Okay, CEO Wu, I’ll inform the others immediately.” The Secretary was also very efficient.
Looking at the documents on the table, Wu Yungui sighed heavily.””Fine. I won’t be able to go to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant at noon today.”
“Sigh, Why is my life so bitter!” Wu Yungui sighed heavily again. This was not the first time. There were too many unexpected situations for big companies.
“I’m so envious of Sister Jiang. Her ability to work and focus are so strong.” Wu Yungui was secretly envious.
In fact, Wu Yungui was much older than Jiang Changxi, but he still wanted to call her sister Jiang. He couldn’t help it because the temperament of a big sister was too strong.
Of course, Wu Yungui would still call her President Jiang in front of her, otherwise…
Anyway, Wu Yungui and Jiang Changxi had cooperated several times. Therefore, he was quite envious of Jiang Changxi’s management and dispatch ability.
This was also the reason why Jiang Changxi could still go to the restaurant often even though she had such a big company and so many things to do.
“Speaking of which, where did Yu Sanzhi go? I haven’t seen him for a few months. He still owes me a guide book.” Wu Yungui suddenly thought of something important.
“Do you want to call Sister Jiang and ask?” Wu Yungui thought about it and gave up.
Once, Wu Yungui had helped Yu Chu with a small matter. Therefore, Yu Sanzhi had offered to treat Wu Yungui to a meal. However, Wu Yungui had not accepted the invitation. Instead, he had asked Yu Sanzhi for a small favor.
As the most important reviewer of Yuan Food Network and the creator of “Yuan”, Yu Sanzhi had three “never stop, always stick to, and always strictly adhere to the standards”.
Wu Yungui had also opened a hotel. He had also accessed Yuan Shi website so that every guest who stayed in the hotel could find the local food.
Not only that, Wu Yungui also planned to use Yu Chu’s information as a basis to create a Food Guide that only hotel members could buy.
That’s right. Wu Yungui had asked Yu Jie for a small favor, which was to make a copy of the little notebook he used to record food. A businessman was indeed good at doing business.
Wu Yungui started the lunch meeting while it was also lunchtime on Yuan Zhou’s side. As a waiter, Zhou Jia was a little slow today.
The reason why sister Wan was so popular in the store was that she was really good.
For example, sister Wan would share many things and ways of dealing with things in the workplace. Zhou Jia benefited the most. Therefore, although she couldn’t gain much experience as a waitress, she could as a waitress of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.
Among them, sister Wan repeatedly emphasized that they had to do things “cleanly”. No leader liked to procrastinate.”Clean” did not mean speed because there were differences in working ability. What sister Wan said was an attitude.
Zhou Jia had been doing the same thing after she heard that. Therefore, she was full of energy every day and ordered the dishes neatly and neatly. At least, the customers would be in a good mood after seeing that.
After lunch, Yuan Zhou went to find Zhou Jia.
“Is it because of little min?” Yuan Zhou went straight to the point.
“Um. Little min told me about her graduation this morning.” Zhou Jia nodded her head.
As expected, after mu Xiaoyun left, Shen Min was the first one to be recruited, and then Zhou Jia was introduced by Shen Min.
Zhou Jia and Shen Min were good friends.
“Don’t worry too much,” Yuan Zhou first comforted her. Then, he thought of something while looking at Zhou Jia,””Jiajia, you should be graduating soon, right?”
“Ah?” Zhou Jia didn’t expect that the conversation would suddenly shift to her. She was stunned at first and then nodded her head,””There are still two months before graduation.”
Yuan Zhou fell into deep thought and said nothing.
“I’m different from little min. I’m attending an adult University, so I don’t have to go to other places. ” Zhou Jia said hurriedly.
“Don’t be silly. ” Yuan Zhou smiled,”the Queen said before that I’ll work in her company after I graduate. Didn’t we agree on that? how can you forget?”
Zhou Jia stammered and couldn’t quite speak clearly,””No, I…”
“What about me? your Sister Jiang is very capable. If you can learn anything from her, it will be enough for you.” Yuan Zhou said.
“I know,” Zhou Jia seemed to be in the mood. She bit her lips and almost broke them.
Yuan Zhou didn’t urge her. He just waited for her next sentence.
After a long time, Zhou Jia finally said,”I don’t want to leave the restaurant.”
“Is it because you can’t bear to?” Yuan Zhou said,”it doesn’t matter. The Queen’s company is also in Chengdu. It won’t be far away.”
Zhou Jia appeared to be hesitating, which made Yuan Zhou realize that there must be something else besides her reluctance.
Yuan Zhou really didn’t know how to comfort people, including when Zhou Jia brought her boyfriend here previously. She acted like an elder, but she couldn’t do anything else. After all, her EQ was used to practice cooking.
“Did you suffer any grievances?” Yuan Zhou could only guess little by little.
“It’s not that there’s no one. Everyone in the shop is very good. ” Zhou Jia’s voice was already choked with sobs. Obviously, one could tell that she was suppressing quite a lot of emotions.
If Zhou Jia really didn’t want to tell him, Yuan Zhou wouldn’t force her. Therefore, he just accompanied her at the side and didn’t say anything.
Moreover, Yuan Zhou knew his own shortcomings. Therefore, he secretly sent a message to Yin ya.
Ever since Yin ya confirmed her relationship with Yuan Zhou, she often came here and had already been determined to be the lady boss. Therefore, she often came to the restaurant and had a close relationship with Zhou Jia and Shen Min.
At this moment, it was most suitable for Yin ya to be there.
Coincidentally, Yin ya happened to pass by Taoxi road. After she received Yuan Zhou’s text message, she immediately rushed over. The whole journey took less than five minutes.
After Yin ya arrived at the restaurant, she looked at Zhou Jia who was sitting there in a daze and then at Yuan Zhou. Then, she roughly understood what was going on.
“Jiajia.” Yin ya called softly.
At first, Zhou Jia could still hold on, but then her tears started to flow down and finally turned into crying.
Yuan Zhou passed the paper to Yin ya silently at the side. After that, Yin ya took the paper and held Zhou Jia gently while wiping her tears slowly.
“It’s okay, I’m here. If there’s anything, just tell sister ya. It’ll be fine. ” Yin ya’s soft voice was like a key that opened Zhou Jia’s mind.
“Wuwuwu… Grandpa Jia is gone. He really left.”
“I promised Grandpa Jia that I’d work hard in the store and learn from sister Wan. Then, I’d earn money to treat Grandpa Jia to a big meal.”
“Grandpa Jia… Boohoo, he also promised me to tell me more interesting stories.”
Zhou Jia cried her heart out. Yuan Zhou could understand that. When her parents had just passed away, she was also very sad, but she didn’t have such strong feelings.
One year later, Yuan Zhou sat at home and looked at the blue sky outside the window in a daze. Then, tears started to flow down.
He cried very hard like a mountain flood. Only then did Yuan Zhou really realize that he had no mother and no father.
Some sadness really had to wait for a long time before it could erupt.
The relationship between Zhou Jia and Grandpa Jia was probably the deepest one apart from Ling Hong.
It should be said that due to family reasons, Zhou Jia liked to get close to the elders. Therefore, it was Zhou Jia who helped Grandpa Jia apply for Alipay.
Zhou Jia buried herself in Yin ya’s arms and said while crying,””I don’t want to leave the store. I know I can learn more things with Sister Jiang.”
“I know, I know everything.”
“But I promised Grandpa Jia, I don’t want to leave.” Zhou Jia’s crying became a little softer.
After letting Zhou Jia vent her anger steadily for more than ten minutes, Yin ya patted Zhou Jia’s small head and said,”I know. Do you feel like you don’t even have this last restraint anymore after you leave?”
Zhou Jia nodded her head and tried her best to control her emotions. She mainly felt that she had not only troubled boss Yuan but also the lady boss.
“Grandpa Jia is a very good person.” “Although I’m not familiar with Grandpa Jia, he always tells me to be happy,” Yin ya said.
“Yeah.” Zhou Jia nodded and said,”Grandpa Jia also likes to tell me that.”
“I won’t say things like don’t be sad. If people can control their sadness, then people are no different from machines.” Yin ya said.
“Thank you, sister Yin ya.” Zhou Jia’s voice was a little hoarse. She had cried too hard just now.
This kind of sadness actually came and went quickly. It was fine as long as he cried it out.
“We can be sad, but we can’t have too big of an emotional fluctuation. It’ll hurt our health,” Yin ya said.
“I feel much better after crying.” Zhou Jia wiped off her tears and looked at the wet patch on Yin ya’s chest, feeling very embarrassed.
“I’m sorry, sister Yin ya. ” Zhou Jia sobbed in a low voice.
“There’s no need to be sorry,” “I happen to have nothing to do in the afternoon. I’ll take you to man man’s dessert shop to have some desserts.” Yin ya patted Zhou Jia’s shoulder and said.
While saying that, she helped Zhou Jia up without giving her any chance to explain. Zhou Jia hurriedly said no, but Yin ya obviously wasn’t asking for Zhou Jia’s opinion.
“If we delay any longer, we won’t be able to make it for dinner.” Yin ya said.
Zhou Jia couldn’t persuade the boss lady otherwise.
The two of them left. Before they left, Zhou Jia thanked Yuan Zhou again and again. Meanwhile, Yin ya told Yuan Zhou that he could rest assured and leave it to her.
Yuan Zhou heaved a sigh of relief and muttered to himself,”he has been depressed for so long. It’s really hard on him.”
