Early birds fought for warmth in several places, and new swallows pecked at the spring soil.
The weather was gradually getting warmer. Some people had already taken off their heavy winter clothes and started to change into some light spring clothes. Even the birds were no longer as lazy as they usually were in winter. Under the sparse sunlight, they stood on the branches and chirped, as if they were giving good news to the crow beasts in spring.
As the head of the chefs âSports Association, Wang Jike organized a chefâs outing to pick wild vegetables in the wild and cook himself.
Speaking of which, it was quite an interesting activity. Wang Jike also invited Yuan Zhou. However, Yuan Zhou looked at the rules and eventually refused.
Yuan Zhou actually wanted to join in the fun, but the period of this spring outing was five days ⊠After thinking for a while, wouldnât it be nice to practice cooking skills at home and open a restaurant? Why was he running around?
âBesides, the wild vegetables provided by my big system are all grown naturally. Moreover, the geographical environment was specially chosen. The wild vegetables are thick and tender. After eating it once, I want to eat it again.â Yuan Zhou muttered to himself.
The system displayed,[yes, thank you for your praise, host.]
He really came out to claim credit.
âThe shepherdâs purse wonton is indeed delicious. It has a hint of fresh wild game. Itâs the best.â Yuan Zhou swallowed another small shepherdâs purse wonton.
After rejecting Wang Jikeâs invitation this morning, he wanted to eat shepherdâs purse wonton, so he didnât eat noodles. Instead, after he came back from his run, he asked the system to provide shepherdâs purse and made wonton to cook.
It didnât let him down. It was delicious and left a lingering fragrance in his mouth.
Not afraid of the heat, Yuan Zhou ate one wonton at a time. The 30 small wontons were devoured in a short while.
âItâs quite nice to taste spring together when itâs spring.â Yuan Zhou took a look at the fresh shepherdâs purse.
There was a reason why Yuan Zhou thought so. As the saying went,âthe peaches and plums in the city worry about the wind and rain, while the shepherdâs purse blooms in the streamâ, the shepherdâs purse was the first to sense the arrival of spring.
Although he said that, Yuan Zhou didnât prepare to have the same shepherdâs purse wonton as the breakfast today. Instead, he prepared the clear broth noodle soup and then made the shepherdâs purse wonton in the evening.
Before breakfast, he saw Wu Hai.
âHave Jiawei and Zhou Xi come back?â Yuan Zhou asked.
In his impression, the two of them had gone out for several days, but Wu Hai still hadnât seen them. Normally, as long as Zhou Xi came back, Wu Haiâs follower would come online officially.
âHe said heâll be here at noon, so he should be here soon.â Wu Hai arrived after ordering breakfast.
âLetâs call them together tonight. â Yuan Zhou said directly.
âSure, no problem.â Wu Haiâs eyes lit up. Knowing that there was something extra good to eat, he immediately became spirited, which was even more effective than eating an immortal pill.
The one-hour breakfast time passed very quickly. It was rare for Queen Jiang to come for breakfast today. Therefore, Yuan Zhou also informed her.
âBoss Yuan, do you have anything to do today?â The owner of the noodle shop asked after breakfast.
âItâs nothing. â Yuan Zhou answered.
âThatâs good. I didnât come to the restaurant to eat noodles this morning, so I asked. â The boss of the noodle shop scratched his head and felt that he had disturbed Yuan Zhou. Then, he said embarrassedly,ââSorry to disturb you, boss Yuan.â
âIâm not disturbing you. The boss is just concerned about me. â âIf I donât come to eat the noodles next time, Iâll let you know,â said Yuan Zhou.
âAh. Actually, you donât need to be so serious. Boss Yuan, you have a lot of things to do every day.â The boss of the noodle shop said.
âIt wonât take much time to tell me.â Yuan Zhou said.
Seeing Yuan Zhou insist, the boss of the noodle restaurant couldnât say anything more.
Yuan Zhou felt that he had to treat the concern of others seriously.
In the morning, Yuan Zhou first called Yin ya and told her about the celebration in the evening.
âBlockhead, this is good. Itâs quite interesting to get together. Is there anything you need my help with?â Yin ya asked.
She always hoped that Yuan Zhou could relax more and not just cook or practice cooking every day without rest.
âNo, you can just come over when the time comes.â Yuan Zhou said.
âThatâs good. I need to work on one more document today. Itâll be around seven or eightoâ clock when I get off work. It should be just right for me to come.â Yin ya calculated it and didnât insist.
âDonât worry, we have enough time. â Yuan Zhou comforted her.
Yin ya said a few more words and then hung up the phone.
With Yuan Zhou around, it wasnât her turn to show off her culinary skills.
Usually, Yin ya would also cook some snacks for Yuan Zhou as a way of having fun between a couple.
When she thought of the shredded apple she made for Yuan Zhou last time, Yin ya had the impulse to cover her face. She didnât know whether there was any shredded apple or not. The pieces of apple that looked like they were wearing heavy armor were all eaten by Yuan Zhou and she didnât taste a single piece.
When she asked Yuan Zhou, he answered that it was delicious. However, Yin ya couldnât possibly deceive herself and believe that it was really delicious.
Thinking of Yuan Zhouâs enthusiasm when he ate last time, Yin ya revealed a slight smile at the corner of her mouth. Then, she restrained her mind and focused on her work, striving to finish it as soon as possible and go to the restaurant to help.
After Yuan Zhou hung up the phone, he took out the radishes he had bought earlier and prepared to sculpt them. Thatâs right, Yuan Zhou still had the habit of going to the market to buy radishes.
Ever since Yuan Zhou became more and more famous, even the business of the small stall where Yuan Zhou often bought radishes had become much better.
âTa ta, ta ta ta taâ
A series of light or heavy footsteps came closer and closer. Yuan Zhou raised his head and saw the granny carrying a big basket and walking towards him step by step.
Yuan Zhou immediately stood up and went up to him,ââGranny, why are you here?â
âLittle Yuan, this morning, I went to the suburbs with my old friend to dig up wild vegetables. We dug up a lot, so I brought some for you to try. Itâs delicious.â The old lady was smiling. She was obviously in a good mood.
Yuan Zhou lowered his head and saw the basket was full of wild vegetables. Most of them were fat, tender, and green Elm leaves. Each leaf was round and thick, looking fresh and juicy. They were bunched together with the short branches and were indeed very fresh. There were some shepherdâs purse and dandelions scattered in the basket. They had all been tidied up.
At a glance, she knew that the old lady must have tidied up the house and picked out the good ones.
âItâs really fresh. Do you have any at home? you canât give it all to me. â Yuan Zhou raised his hand and received the basket from the granny.
âIâll keep it, Iâll keep it. Donât think that this Yuqian is ordinary. When I was young, I was so poor that I didnât have anything to eat and relied on this to survive. â When the granny saw Yuan Zhou accept it directly, she beamed and appeared to be very happy.
âIâve heard my parents mention it before, but Iâve never had it before. This is just right. â Yuan Zhou agreed.
âHahaha, itâs good that you like it, little Yuan. This elm tree isnât young anymore, and its leaves taste pretty good. Iâm the only one who knows where it is,â The old lady said mysteriously.
Indeed, they were old and young. There was even a little pride on their faces, and it was obvious that the old granny was really happy.
âThank you, mother-in-law. Iâll send the basket over in the afternoon. Are you at home?â Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then asked.
âYes, yes, but Iâll just come and get the basket when Iâm free. You donât have to send it over since youâre so busy.â The old grandma waved her hand.
âItâs fine, itâs just a few steps away. Donât worry. â Yuan Zhou said.
The granny looked at the tools not far away and knew that Yuan Zhou was busy, so she didnât bother him. After saying a few words, she left directly.
