Chapter 1639: Three fish and three ducks, a good future

“Receive your reward.” After showing off, Yuan Zhou received the temporary reward cleanly.

In the next second, all the street snacks were awarded to Yuan Zhou.

Street food had a special characteristic. They smelled like food, but looked like they wanted to eat more.

As the saying went, they were one of the demons who prevented humans from losing weight and becoming thin.

“By the way, didn’t Fang Heng and the others always complain that I don’t have any dishes to go with wine?” Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of whether he should choose a few street snacks as dishes with wine. But after thinking for a while, he decided not to. After all, there were only a few kinds of wine. He would think about it when there was more wine in the restaurant.

After the business time ended, Yuan Zhou went to sleep after reading the ancient book.

The next day, after breakfast time, Yuan Zhou called Ji Yi.

“Little Yuan, did you succeed in restoring the real perfume?” This was the first question that Ji Yi asked on the other end of the phone.

“Yes, master Ji, there are two methods. I personally prefer the second method.” Yuan Zhou answered honestly.

“Oh?” On the other end of the phone, Ji Yi was very surprised and said,””There are two other methods?”

“Yes, so I’m very grateful to master Ji and master tan for their enlightenment. Therefore, if the two masters are still in Rong city, and if time is convenient, I would like to do it for them.” Yuan Zhou said.

“No problem, of course I have time. I’m also a little curious about this real perfume. Let’s do it tomorrow afternoon.” Ji Yi made a straightforward decision.

Ji Yi was also a busy man, so he hung up the phone after talking about business.

After that, Yuan Zhou called tan kuohai and Zhou Shijie. Yuan Zhou didn’t have the slightest intention of showing off. He just felt that he should tell those who had given him advice. In his opinion, this was only right.

Because of the farewell banquet tonight, all the familiar diners had been invited, so the guests for lunch and dinner, as well as the regular customers, did not come.

Of course, this didn’t include Wu Hai. Wu Hai ate in the evening and also at the farewell banquet. He had two meals in a row.

Previously, when ruan Xiaoqing was discharged from the hospital, Wu Hai also did the same. Because he was too excited after eating two meals, he even created a famous work, the eating picture of the Black Beast.

However, what was a little strange today was that Wu Hai didn’t reveal a very excited expression when he was having dinner.

He just sat on the chair outside the restaurant and waited for the farewell banquet to start. Looking at the sky, Wu Hai took something out of his pocket and prepared to take out two cigarettes to smoke.

However, Wu Hai didn’t order the cigarettes even after he took them out. As this place was too close to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant and it was also a public place, smoking would also affect the bystanders. Therefore, Wu Shou put the cigarettes back. Even if he could eat two dinners in such a farewell banquet, Wu Hai didn’t want such an opportunity to appear.

Wu Hai didn’t smoke very much. He usually only smoked one when he was tired from drawing all night long or when he was thinking about something.

Of course, the Black Beast rarely thought about other things. Most of the time, it was thinking about food.

On the street, there was a mother with an eight or nine-year-old child. The two were in high spirits, so it was inevitable that they spoke loudly. Even Wu Hai could hear the content of their conversation clearly.

“Hahaha, the third place in the Chengdu children’s violin Competition, that’s great! Tell me, what reward do you want?”

“I want a new phone.”

“Then you have to promise me that with the new phone, your academic performance can’t decline.”

The joy of humans couldn’t be transmitted all the time. Just like Wu Hai, he only felt it was noisy at this moment.

Soon after, the guests gradually arrived. They were Zheng Xian, Fang Heng, Zhao Yingjun, Chen Wei, sister Wan, Mr. Wei, Wei Wei, Jiang Changxi, Zheng Jiawei…

“What’s wrong with the crow beasts?”Chen Wei asked. Why are you sitting here? did little min not invite you?”

“Are you kidding me? go and find out who’s treating and not me.” Wu Hai said proudly,”without me, how could you guys have a good atmosphere?” Do you understand that only I can liven up the atmosphere?”

“You’re shameless. ” Chen Wei pouted his mouth but didn’t refute him, because they would indeed invite Wu Hai.

“This place is still as lively as ever.” Mr. Wei walked over with Wei Wei and said,””As expected, places with Mr. Wu are always very lively.”

Mr. Wei had actually introduced himself as Wei Hua before, but this title was more in line with the devil’s style.

Speaking of which, Wang Hong had once written about the four demon kings in the store.

They were the Demon King of snatching food Wu Hai, the evil demon King Mr. Wei, the king of demons Jiang Changxi, and the Demon King of deceiving wine Zheng Xian.

Of course, when Jiang Changxi saw this title, she asked Wang Hong lightly,””Do I look like a Demon King?”

After that, Wang Hong changed the name of the king of demons, Jiang Changxi, to’ temporarily empty ‘in his heart.

Wang Hong also came today. When Shen Min invited him, Wang Hong’s schedule had already been arranged. He was supposed to go to Beijing to hold a meet-and-greet with the readers.

However, Wang Hong still agreed to it. As the restaurant’s exclusive recorder (self-proclaimed), he had to record the important matters of master chef Restaurant.

“Hehe, everyone’s here.” Zhou Jia came out of the restaurant and said,”I asked little min to go home and change her clothes before coming back. The boss said that the pub is closed today, so he asked little min to change her clothes. She’ll come back later.”

Yuan Zhou didn’t come out to greet the customers because he had already started to cook the delicacies. The regular customers had already gotten used to it. They entered the restaurant together with Zhou Jia and sat down.

Today, Yuan Zhou’s dishes were mainly Sichuan cuisine and supplemented by Jiangsu cuisine. He also provided a small amount of wine and fruit juice. Although the wine was limited, the fruit juice was unlimited.

The main character, Shen Min, had changed into a white dress with Lotus edges. This dress was bought with her by Zheng Xian.

“Little min, you’re so pretty today.” “This also proves that I have good taste,” Zheng Xian said.

“Hehe, sister Xian is even more beautiful today,” Shen Min said.

“I remember that little min was only a freshman when I first saw her. I didn’t expect her to be working so soon after graduating from university.” Jiang Changxi narrowed her eyes and heaved a sigh,””Sigh, I’m indeed a woman whose appearance has aged.”

“No, no, Sister Jiang is the most beautiful.” Shen Min said hurriedly.

“About that studio, have you handed it over? and have you found a place to stay in Shanghai since you’re unfamiliar with the place?” Sister Wan asked with concern.

Shen Min answered immediately,”yes, I’ve contacted him. I’ve added the Deputy Director’s WeChat. As for where I’m going to stay, my mom said my second uncle is there. I can go to his house first.”

“It’s possible to stay at a relative’s house for a short time, but if it’s too long, it’ll be troublesome for you and the other party. ” Jiang Changxi always hit the nail on the head.

“Sister Jiang is right.” Zheng Xian pondered for a while.”My friend has a suite. It’s empty anyway. You can stay there first.”

“Why bother my friend? I have an art studio in Shanghai. I think it’s three bedrooms and one living room, or four bedrooms and two living rooms. It doesn’t matter. I haven’t been there for a few years, so I’ll just stay there.” Wu Hai said indifferently.

In the past, Wu Hai had a habit. Ever since he became famous, he would buy a house and use it as his art studio whenever he went to a place to write.

Speaking of which, except for Zheng Jiawei, no one knew how many houses Wu Hai had.

“Wu beast is indeed a rich man.” Chen Wei sighed with emotion.

Everyone at the scene was conquered by Wu Hai’s generosity. That was a house in Shanghai!

“No need, brother Wu Hai,” Shen Min refused him hurriedly.

“Zheng Jiawei,” Wu Hai called Zheng Jiawei beside him.

“Actually, little min, that house hasn’t been cleaned for a year or two. If you move in, you’ll have to clean it again. Also, if you’re not moving in, you can leave it empty.” “Little min, you must be curious why the house isn’t rented out. It’s because it’s little Hai’s studio. He doesn’t like to rent the house to outsiders,” Zheng Jiawei said.

Zheng Jiawei said in a soft voice, but it was always hard for people to refuse.

“Then…”

Shen Min still wanted to say something but was interrupted by Wu Hai,””Alright, stop talking. If you say anything more, it means you don’t give me face. If you don’t give me face, I’ll get angry. If I get angry, I’ll snatch the vegetables. Don’t even think about eating well today!”

Perhaps Wu Hai’s threat was effective, Shen Min accepted it and just kept saying thank you.

Of course, Shen Min also intended to pay the rent to Zheng Jiawei secretly so that she could live with peace of mind.

While they were chatting, the dishes had already been served. Yin ya was carrying the dishes as a guest.

The first dishes were the cold dishes, beef lungs in chili sauce, spicy beef tongue, cold shredded ear, cold black fungus, and cold shredded seaweed.

Due to the large number of people, Yuan Zhou had prepared five appetizing cold dishes, two meat and three vegetable dishes. Moreover, the amount was also larger.

“Boss Yuan, it would be great if you also serve so many dishes normally.” Fang Heng said.

“It’s good enough that there’s something to eat, but your requirements are so high. ” Wang Hong Xi said.

“I’m a good man who doesn’t fight with women. ” Fang Heng’s words came straight out of his mouth.

“I don’t fight with dogs,” Wang Hong blurted out.

When the two of them started to argue, it was quite unpleasant to hear, but the two of them had never really gotten angry, so it could be said that everyone else was used to it.

There were three people in the restaurant who would argue with each other the moment they met. They were Ling Hong and Wu Hai, Wang Hong and Fang Heng, and Zhou Xi and Lee Yanyi.

Originally, Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing had also accepted the invitation and agreed to come. However, Xiaoqing was not feeling well at night and Ling Hong had to stay to take care of her. Thus, they had no choice but to be absent.

Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills were naturally excellent, especially when the hot dishes were served, three fish and three ducks.

This was a saying that he had read in ancient books. As the saying went,”three fish and three ducks have a good future.” In ancient times, when the clansmen of large families wanted to take an examination or go hiking, they would prepare three fish and three duck dishes at the farewell banquet. There was no fixed arrangement of dishes, but the main ingredients must be fish and duck.

Yuan Zhou’s three fish were boiled fish slices, braised fish, and sweet and sour carp. The three ducks were Calabash duck, beer duck, and Kojac roast duck, all of which were homely dishes.

Then, there was also beef, mutton, and pork. Speaking of which, it would cost a lot of money to pay for this meal. However, this meal was on Yuan Zhou’s tab.

After eating and drinking to their heart’s content, Yuan Zhou cleared the table and served the after-meal fruits, desserts, and hangover soup.

“Boss, I’ll clean it up.” Shen Min and Zhou Jia immediately stood up subconsciously.

“No need. You’re all guests today.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Therefore, the guest can just sit down and let the host do the cleaning,” Yin ya also added. While saying that, Yin ya helped to clear the bowls and chopsticks. Although there were many dishes served, with Wu Hai around, there were definitely no leftovers.

“The boss has spent a lot of money today.” Shen Min said a little weakly. She knew the price of the food in the restaurant very well.

“I’m fine. ” Yuan Zhou said.

Yin ya patted Shen Min’s shoulder and said,”Of course, our little min has to be in a rush for the farewell banquet.”

Eyebrows pastry, peach pastry, honey cake, butterfly roll, Osmanthus millet cake, mango Sentinels, and so on. With dried fruits, there were more than 30 kinds of desserts.

“It’s all thanks to little min today. There are so many kinds of desserts that our eyes are dazzled. ” Zheng Xian said.

“It’s so good to be boss Yuan’s girlfriend. Not to mention other things, you can eat different kinds of desserts all year round. ” Sister Wan said to Yin ya jokingly.

Yin ya just smiled and didn’t say anything. After all, she was used to being teased. Besides, it was really like what they had said, the cakes and desserts could be served at different times every day.

The group of people sat down and chatted. Those who liked to talk spoke, and those who didn’t like to talk quietly listened to others.

No matter what kind of person they were, the atmosphere in the restaurant had always been so comfortable.

“Speaking of which, little min, this is a gift I bought for you. I don’t know if you’ll like it.” Zheng Xian took out a small black bag out of nowhere and handed it to Shen Min.

“Ah… Why did sister Xian buy me a present?” Shen Min said.

No wonder Shen Min didn’t know about it. Zheng Xian’s gift was hidden very well. No one knew where she took it out from.

“We’ll open it when we get back,” Zheng Xian said.”It’s not expensive, but it’ll definitely be something you like, little min.”

Thank you, sister Xian.” Shen Min said.

“I also brought a gift.” Jiang Changxi took out a fist-sized box from her purple satchel. The small box was very delicate and didn’t have any symbol. There was only a string of English words printed on the bottom of the box.

Without even thinking, she knew that the thing in the box was very valuable. Shen Min shook her head immediately.

“Good girl, this is a parting gift and a thank you gift. Don’t be polite.” Jiang Changxi’s tone didn’t allow for any refusal. Therefore, Shen Min could only take the box.

As a matter of fact, the thank you gift mentioned by Jiang Changxi was that she didn’t feel anything after working overnight for three days, so she came here to have a drink. She was fine when she was drinking, but she almost passed out the moment she left the pub. It was Shen Min who followed the car and sent Jiang Changxi back home.

Jiang Changxi was indeed a capable person, but she wasn’t a God. When it came to taking care of herself, there were some things that she was not able to do.

Even if she didn’t mention the cold, Jiang Changxi would often have stomachache and eat irregularly. No one in the company dared to remind her about that.

After Jiang Changxi and Zheng Xian presented their gifts, sister Wan also presented a gift.

“Queen, why did you all buy gifts? no one told me!” Fang Heng said in a daze.

Wang Hong nodded his head vigorously. He had not thought of giving a parting gift either.

As the gifts were non-negotiable, some people bought them while some didn ‘t. Anyway, all the girls present, including Yin ya, had prepared them. As for the men, they didn’t think about it at all.

Shen Min said non-stop at the side,”it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter.”

“I don’t remember buying a gift without any trifles.” Wu Hai said,”but it doesn’t matter. I can send you off now. Little min, let me sing a song to send you off. Most people can’t hear me sing.”

“Little min, are you looking forward to it?” Wu Hai asked.

Shen Min nodded her head continuously. The great artist had specially dedicated a song to her. She should indeed look forward to it.

Zheng Jiawei took out his earplugs silently and plugged his ears without being seen by anyone. He still had an expectant look on his face.

Indeed, although the people present were very familiar with Wu Hai, they had never heard him sing.

“I’ll sing my best song,”it’s dark. “” Stroking his small mustaches, Wu Hai started to do it primly.

“When I was young, when I was noisy and willful; My grandma always sings to cheer me up…”
