For the past few days, broth’s appetite wasn’t very good. Therefore, Yuan Zhou specially cooked some congee for it after the breakfast time, hoping that it would eat more.
When he carried the porridge to the back door, he saw the two of them lazily basking in the sun. Yuan Zhou looked at them for a while and found nothing wrong. Then, he poured the porridge into the bowl and told them to eat.
“Broth, rice, come and eat.” Yuan Zhou said.
The rice was served very quickly, but broth took its time. Yuan Zhou didn’t know if it was maintaining its decorum as usual or if it was really sick. He decided to observe it for a while longer.
After pouring the congee, Yuan Zhou went back to the front and planned to practice sculpting. He hadn’t practiced for two days and thus felt a little rusty.
While Yuan Zhou was practicing his knife skills under the sun, he was surrounded by many people. Of course, the place was very quiet.
Due to Yuan Zhou’s seemingly magic-like sculpting skills, he didn’t have the time to talk.
“Shua shua shua”
In the quiet environment, only the sound of Yuan Zhou waving the vegetable knife could be heard. A vivid and lifelike figure appeared under his hand. This time, he sculpted the three stars of Fu, Lu, and Shou.
This was to prepare for the future when he carved the fu, Lu, and Shou sculptures with wood. This year was his master’s 60th birthday, and Yuan Zhou intended to carve a set of three-star sculptures with wood as a gift to his master. Of course, it was definitely not as simple as a sculpture. However, he hadn’t finished the specific design yet, so he could only practice it on the radish first.
Soon, it was time to prepare the ingredients for lunch. Yuan Zhou had just finished cleaning up the trash for the knife practice. Zhao Lun didn’t come today. Instead, he directly threw the perfect and exquisite sculpture into the trash can without any hesitation. There were some parts that he wasn’t satisfied with.
“Hu!”
Every time they saw Yuan Zhou’s generous actions, the onlookers would feel very heartache. However, those who had watched him sculpt for a long time knew the reason why he would do that. It was because he was not satisfied with some parts of the sculpture.
“It’s a pity,”
Although they understood, it didn’t stop them from pitying the beautiful object, because they couldn’t see what was wrong with it.
The old man, who hadn’t been here for a long time, came to have lunch with the old woman. They came very early and lined up behind Zhou Xi. Zhou Xi had never seen the old man and the old woman, so the time was not right.
“Sir, do you want to come to the restaurant for a meal today?” It was rare for Wu Hai to greet others.
With the revolutionary friendship of fighting against Yuan Zhou together with the system, he was more familiar with the system than the others.
“Yes, let’s have a meal.” The old man chuckled.”Make a meal” was a Sichuan dialect, which meant to have a meal in a restaurant.
“I haven’t been here for a long time. I really miss head chef Yuan’s cooking.” The old grandma also said with a smile.
“It’s because you want to travel around, so I took you on a long trip. The food in the restaurant outside is also good, but it’s not as good as master Yuan ‘s.” The old man’s words were really tactful, but his words seemed to expose his wife.
“Yes, yes, yes, I want to go.” The old lady was all smiles, not caring about the old man’s resentment at all.
The two of them complained about each other for the rest of their lives.
Wu Hai suddenly felt a little full. However, he couldn’t be full before eating, so he continued to lie down and wait for the meal to be finished.
After making up his mind, he sneaked back to the door. Zhou Xi took the opportunity to chat with the grandparents, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Not long after, lunchtime began. The customers entered the restaurant one after another and began to order their meals according to the procedure.
As usual, the grandma ordered half a serving, and the remaining half was definitely for the grandpa. The grandma ordered the grandpa’s favorite food, so he did not refuse this time.
The old grandma fell seriously ill and almost didn’t wake up. Then, the old man took her out to see her when she was better. He left for more than half a year just to fulfill her lifelong wish.
“This is good. Drink some water and take a rest.” The old man looked at the old lady’s face carefully and found that she was fine, so he started to ask her to drink some water.
“I didn’t expect that after not coming here for a long time, the dishes here have increased so much. We can try something else next time.” The old grandma wasn’t as pouting as before.
“No problem. If you want to try it, we can come again at night.” The grandpa’s temperament was also different from the firecrackers he used to have.
“Alright,” he said. The old lady nodded and continued to flip through the menu.
Lunch time passed by slowly, and soon it was time for the opening hours to end.
“The business time is over. Please come again next time. Please come earlier for dinner.” Yuan Zhou stood at the door and said.
Although there was already a queuing machine, there were still people who couldn’t get a number in line every day. It wasn’t that they wanted to make trouble for the meal. It seemed that they just wanted to queue there.
Every day, Yuan Zhou would say something to these people at the end of the business hours and then go to clean up the kitchen.
Thinking of the sculpture that he hadn’t finished in the morning, Yuan Zhou decided to continue sculpting in the afternoon. He prepared to start sculpting after he moved the things out.
At this moment, a series of shrill cries suddenly rang out.
“Owoo! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!”
Her voice became more and more anxious. Yuan Zhou’s heart skipped a beat and he felt that something was really wrong. He didn’t care about anything else and directly drove her to the back door with the kitchen knife.
“It seems to be the sound of rice?” Yuan Zhou placed the knife on the side of the partition and walked over to open the back door.
Then, he saw the rice surrounding broth and calling out non-stop. However, broth just lay there motionlessly.
As for rice, he suddenly lay down as well, but he continued to cry out in pain.
Yuan Zhou’s vision blurred for a moment and then became like this. He immediately came back to his senses and strode forward. Without thinking about anything else, he took off his coat and wrapped the rice and broth, then ran towards the nearest Pet Hospital.
Probably due to the stimulation of his potential, the journey that usually took about 10 minutes was shortened to 7 – 8 minutes by Yuan Zhou with the rice and broth in his arms.
“Doctor, please help me take a look at my two dogs.” Yuan Zhou immediately shouted when he ran inside without even having time to catch his breath.
Yuan Zhou was already an acquaintance of the hospital. Therefore, a nurse immediately came up to him and carried his clothes to the treatment room.
“Swish”
Looking at the door of the treatment room closing in front of him and the nurses and doctors releasing the rice and the silent broth from the inside through the glass, Yuan Zhou’s bad feeling grew stronger and stronger.
Standing at the door quietly and watching the nurses and doctors operating the machines and walking around the two dogs, Yuan Zhou didn’t feel relaxed at all.
Half an hour passed, but Yuan Zhou felt that it was as long as a day. When the doctor came out, he didn’t even know what to say.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Yuan. I’ve said before that broth’s condition isn’t good. It’s a miracle that it could live for four years. But now, that miracle has disappeared. ” The doctor had always been in charge of broth.
Since the first time Yuan Zhou brought broth to the pet Hospital, she had been in charge of it. Therefore, she also liked broth very much. When she said that, her eyes even turned red.
For the first time, Yuan Zhou felt that his five sharp senses had lost their effect. He didn’t hear the doctor’s words immediately,””What do you think happened to broth?”
“Broth … Has already left.” The doctor said as he tried to control his emotions.
“Oh.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head blankly and stood straight at the door. He was still looking into the glass as if broth would come out if he did that.
