Chapter 1497: An awkward age
âAh?â Both Zhou Jia and Shen Min were stunned. They lowered their heads to look at the red packets on the table but didnât move.
âTake it. Itâs good to keep it during the day. Thereâs a self-service bank at the corner of the street.â Yuan Zhou said.
âBut we didnât help you much, boss.â Zhou Jia and something looked at each other and then said in unison again.
Indeed, the waitresses of Yuan Zhouâs restaurant should be the most relaxed ones among all the waitresses⊠No, to be more specific, they should be the most relaxed ones in the entire service industry.
âYouâre here to work. Just go to work on time every day.â Yuan Zhou said.
âBut, butâŠâ Zhou Jia and Shen Minâs tone was surprisingly similar this time. They were both very timid and didnât dare to take it.
Yuan Zhouâs restaurant was already a very relaxed and free place to work at. Last time, Shen Min even enjoyed the treatment of work injury when she sprained her foot at school and even paid for Social Security. The two of them really felt that Yuan Zhou was a good boss.
âTake it.â Yuan Zhou said.
Zhou Jia and Shen Min looked at each other again and were still in a dilemma. Just then, a cheery voice was heard.
âTake it, take it. This year, many people said that companies and stores that donât pay year-end bonuses will close down next year.â Cheng Cheng directly jumped into the store and said with a smile.
âHow can that be? boss Yuan is so nice.â Zhou Jia and Shen Min turned their heads and looked at Cheng Cheng in unison again.
âOf course, my Grand Masterâs shop wonât close down, but itâs a good sign to give employees year-end bonuses. We have to keep it well.â As he spoke, Cheng Han quickly picked up the red packets on the table and stuffed one into each of their hands.
Then, Zhou Jia and Shen Min couldnât refuse him anymore. They turned their heads and bowed to Yuan Zhou to thank him seriously,ââThank you, boss Yuan,â
âOkay, work hard.â Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.
Cheng Han stood at the side and looked at the three of them with a smile. After Zhou Jia and Shen Min finished thanking each other, she said,ââGrand Master, what about me? Will you give me some red packet money this year?â
Cheng Cheng looked at Yuan Zhou expectantly, waiting for his answer.
âWeâll talk about it when you and your dad come to deliver the New Yearâs gift. â Yuan Zhou said.
âAh? We still have to wait for a few days. â Cheng Yu pouted.
âItâs not the new year yet. â Yuan Zhou said.
âThatâs what you say, but I havenât received any New Yearâs money in a long time. â Cheng Han looked at Yuan Zhou pitifully.
âYes, youâre not young anymore.â Yuan Zhou nodded his head. Thinking carefully, the lucky money was really unfair.
If he gave the money to the brat, they wouldnât know how to use it. It would be âmommy saving it for youâ, so red packet money should be given to people who had the ability to use money but didnât have it.
Thinking of that, Yuan Zhou looked at Cheng Han sympathetically. This child just happened to be in an awkward period.
ââŠâ Cheng Han was speechless for a moment. He could only go to find Zhou Jia and Shen Min to wipe the table together.
Yuan Zhou also directly turned around and went to prepare the ingredients for breakfast.
As time passed, it was getting closer and closer to breakfast time. There were more and more diners outside the door, but everyone was seriously queuing up.
Although Chen Wei, the deterrent member of the queuing Committee, wasnât here, Jiang Changxi was always here. Recently, she had been coming here for meals more frequently than usual.
By the way, Chen Wei and sister Wan had already returned to sister Wanâs hometown the day before yesterday to meet her parents.
After all, her company was basically on holiday now, so she and some staff on duty were the only ones left.
Therefore, even the tourists who came here to eat followed the rules here very well, and this was all because of the deterrence of Jiang Changxi.
During breakfast, Ling Hong entered the restaurant together with ruan Xiaoqing as he wished. However, when ruan Xiaoqing asked Yuan Zhou carefully whether he was open for business during the Chinese New Year, Ling Hong hurriedly said that he would also come and eat together.
At that time, Yuan Zhou hadnât answered ruan Xiaoqing.
Ling Hong was such a Lackey. Of course, it was rare that Yuan Zhou didnât talk back to Ling Hong. He just ignored Ling Hongâs words and answered seriously that the restaurant would be open for business. After the restaurant was open for business, he continued to serve the breakfast.
Having received an affirmative reply, ruan Xiaoqing secretly heaved a sigh of relief. At that time, Ling Hong spoke again,ââIâll come for dinner even on New Yearâs Eve,â
âYouâre not going home?â Ruan Xiaoqing asked subconsciously.
âNo need. We eat together every year. Iâm tired of the food. You donât need me.â Ling Hong waved his hand and said.
âSometimes, itâs better to spend more time with them. Itâs good to talk more.â Ruan Xiaoqing bit her light red lips and said after hesitating for a while.
âThatâs for sure. I usually accompany them for meals. Donât worry.â Ling Hong patted his chest and said.
Just when Ling Hong was displaying all kinds of behaviors in front of ruan Xiaoqing, Wu Hai, who had just finished his breakfast, suddenly said,ââThe dinner on New Yearâs Eve is free. Will you eat it?â
âWhy canât I eat it for free? I just donât eat discounted food.â Ling Hong immediately reacted and answered quickly.
âThatâs true. No discount Ling, you also ate tangyuan last year. â After saying that, Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and left.
âThis Crow beast.â Ling Hong was speechless.
âYou donât eat discounted food, but youâll eat free food?â ruan Xiaoqing laughed.
âYeah, I donât eat when thereâs a discount, but I can still eat the free food.â Ling Hong nodded his head.
âThis habit is really special.â Ruan Xiaoqing said with a smile.
âOf course, I have my principles.â Ling Hong said proudly.
âTsk tsk, I canât bear to see it. The sour smell of love.â Yuan Zhou set down the plate in his hand and thought to himself.
âItâs alright. I have never acted so stupid in front of Yin ya. As expected, my intelligence is two pounds higher than that of Ling buzhe and the Black Beast. â Yuan Zhou ridiculed complacently in his heart with a natural expression.
Having prided himself on having an IQ that was even two pounds higher than usual, Yuan Zhou continued to cook breakfast contentedly.
The one-hour breakfast time soon passed. After Zhou Jia, Shen Min, and Cheng Han left, the restaurant quieted down.
Although the Chinese New Year was approaching, Yuan Zhouâs pace didnât change. He still opened his restaurant and practiced his culinary skills as usual. The only thing he did was prepare the Chinese New Year gift for Carpenter Lian.
Carpenter Lian was Yuan Zhouâs true master. Naturally, he had to give Yuan Zhou a New Year gift during the Lunar New Year. This was also the first time Yuan Zhou had given a New Year gift. He was currently checking the information seriously to figure out how to give it.
After all, Yuan Zhou didnât have any elders by his side now, so he could only figure it out by himself.
The time in the morning was short, so Yuan Zhou didnât prepare the New Yearâs gift. Instead, he practiced his cooking skills seriously and didnât prepare the New Yearâs gift until after the lunch.
However, Yuan Zhou had just finished writing the eighth gift list when it was time to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
âThis yearâs gifts are really particular.â Yuan Zhou closed the notebook and sighed with emotion. After that, he got up to wash up and change his clothes.
Having changed his clothes, Yuan Zhou went downstairs to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
At this time, the line outside the door started again.
Coincidentally, Ling Hong and his grandfather, grandfather Ling, met each other on the street of Taoxi road this time. When they saw each other, Ling Hong was surprised, while grandfather Ling was throwing a childish tantrum and pretended not to see Ling Hong.
âGrandpa, what are you doing here? Does the doctor know?â Ling Hong walked towards grandfather Ling and asked.
âHmph, you unfilial grandson. You eat delicious food every day and donât know how to bring your grandfather along. Are you trying to anger your father to death?â Grandfather Ling said unhappily.
Grandpa Ling has been watching live broadcasts recently, so I donât know where he learned it from. Isnât this generation very strange?
