The color of the winter night was pitch black. There were not many stars shining in the sky, making it seem even deeper. The small courtyard of master chef Restaurant was brightly lit, and under the contrast of the dull night, it was as if the light burned through the darkness.

“Little Yuan, are you busy tomorrow?” Boss Tong wanted to say something but stopped for a long time. She asked after taking a deep breath.

“I’m free in the afternoon. Aunt Tong, do you have anything to do?” Seeing boss Tong finally ask that, Yuan Zhou immediately said.

While they were chatting, Yuan Zhou could tell that aunt Tong was hiding something in her heart. Although Yuan Zhou didn’t know what he needed help with, he was very attentive to the matter of boss Tong.

“I just want to go to a restaurant to eat tofu pudding. It’s a long way, come with me. I’m sure the cooking will be good.” Boss Tong coughed dryly and looked a little unnatural.

“Eh? Tofu pudding?” The unique name of ‘a tofu shop’ suddenly appeared in Yuan Zhou’s mind. He immediately said,””No problem. I also want to try the tofu pudding from the shop that aunt Tong mentioned. When will it be convenient for you, aunt Tong?”

Yuan Zhou didn’t know much about the dispute between Grandpa mo Qian and boss Tong, so he wasn’t qualified to say anything. However, as a junior, when he saw the two old men dragging and hesitating for such a long time without any progress, he also felt anxious. How could one have so many 30 years in one’s life?

Now that boss Tong wanted to go and have a look, Yuan Zhou would definitely support her.

“Little Yuan, if you want to do business, let’s set the time at 2:30. It will take an hour to go back and forth. The remaining time should be enough. Otherwise, we won’t go. Little Yuan, you still have to do business. It won’t be good to delay it.” Boss Tong said.

Why did she drag Yuan Zhou along with her? it was because aunt Tong didn’t want to go without the company of others.

“How could that be? aunt Tong’s calculations are very accurate. The timing is just right and there won’t be any delay. Moreover, eating more food cooked by other chefs is still necessary for the improvement of one’s skills.” Yuan Zhou said with an earnest expression.

“In that case, I’ll have to trouble you, little Yuan. I’ll come to your restaurant directly to find you.” Boss Tong thought for a while and nodded her head.

“No problem, I’ll arrange the car when the time comes,” Yuan Zhou agreed readily, in Case Boss Tong hesitated again.

“Alright,” he said. Boss Tong was also straightforward this time.

It was the first meal of the new year. Although it was rare to get together, time passed quickly and unknowingly.

After seeing boss Tong off, Yuan Zhou went upstairs to see if the customers in the pub needed anything.

The customers this time were all regular customers, such as Wu Hai, Zheng Jiawei, Wu Lin, Wang Hong, and Fang Heng. They were all quite familiar with master chef Restaurant. Only in this way could Yuan Zhou have time to have a good meal with boss Tong and enjoy the new year.

After all, Mao Ye was not around, and no one was watching the small Tavern.

When Yuan Zhou went upstairs, he happened to hear Wu Hai describing vividly the combination of the Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner and the snacks during the spring Festival Gala. Of course, Wu Hai’s description was quite dry. He was good at eating, not talking.

However, Wang Hong was next to them. As long as Wu Hai said it once, he would start to describe it in detail. His choice of words was elegant and appropriate, making Zheng Jiawei, Wu Lin and Fang Heng feel quite speechless about the two people who attracted hatred.

“That osmanthus cake is quite good. It’s sweet but not greasy and will melt in the mouth. The chrysanthemum cake has a little bitterness and is soft, but it has a unique flavor and is very delicious.” Wang Hong’s voice was full of emotion.

He didn’t sense any dangerous aura. Following Wu Hai’s description, Wang Hong carried out artistic embellishment once again.

Therefore, with Wu Lin as the main attacker and Zheng Jiawei and Fang Heng as the support, they carried out an all-round sniping on Wu Hai and Wang Hong.

It was mainly Wu Lin who dealt with Wu Hai, while Fang Zheng dealt with Wang Hong.

To Wu Hai, Wu Lin called it ‘special use’.

“Please spare me, I was wrong.”

“Stop fighting. Wu Lin, stop.”

For a moment, the small second floor was filled with laughter.

“These guys, really.” Looking at the scene in front of him, Yuan Zhou was also very happy in his heart.

Right at that moment, Yuan Zhou felt his phone vibrating. He then went downstairs quietly and intended to answer the call.

Previously, when he was eating with boss Tong, Yuan Zhou had set his phone to vibrate to show his respect. After all, he didn’t need to worry about the time needed to prepare the ingredients. Thus, he didn’t need an alarm to set it.

“Happy New Year, what’s wrong?” When Yuan Zhou took out his phone, he found the name Cheng zhaomei was very conspicuous.

“Master, Happy New Year. It’s like this, I want to come and wish you a Happy New Year. I just want to ask when it’s convenient for you?” Cheng zhaomei’s voice came from the phone.

Chairman Cheng had his reasons for doing so. First, he informed Yuan Zhou in advance to show his respect. Second, he was afraid of bumping into Yuan Zhou when he went to pay his New Year’s greetings to master Lian.

“I’m busy tomorrow. Come over the day after tomorrow.” Yuan Zhou considered for a while and then said.

In the afternoon, Yuan Zhou had already called Carpenter Lian and confirmed that the New Year’s greeting would be on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Ever since Yuan Zhou acknowledged Carpenter Lian as his master, he would pay his New Year’s greetings to him every New Year. It was a rule and also a form of respect.

“Alright, master. I’ll come in the morning. I won’t bother you anymore. Have an early rest.” After getting the answer he wanted, President Cheng ended the call.

To disturb Yuan Zhou was an unforgivable crime in Chairman Cheng’s eyes. Naturally, he wouldn’t commit such a crime.

“I’m going to eat tofu pudding with Auntie Tong tomorrow. Should I prepare anything?” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself.

After thinking for a while, although he knew what was going on, seeing that boss Tong didn’t want others to know about her condition, he pretended not to know.

Soon, it was the next day. As time passed, more and more people came to master chef Restaurant to eat. Although it was still not as many as usual, it was a miracle that there were so many people during the new year.

For breakfast and lunch, no matter how many people there were, Yuan Zhou would always cook every dish very seriously and rigorously. He would bring out the best level and make the most acceptable delicacies according to the preferences of each customer.

Boss Tong was probably quite nervous. Therefore, Yuan Zhou saw boss Tong’s figure appear at the corner of the street right after he sent off the last batch of customers.

“Aunt Tong, please wait a moment. I’ll go wash up and change my clothes. The car is already here, so don’t worry.” Yuan Zhou said when boss Tong arrived in front of him.

“Little Yuan, slow down. I’m taking a break.” Boss Tong said.

“Then, aunt Tong, please take a seat.” After Yuan Zhou settled boss Tong down, he went upstairs to wash up.

Yuan Zhou was very familiar with the process that he had to go through several times every day. He was also very familiar with it. In less than 10 minutes, he had finished packing everything. The car had been prepared long ago. Without waiting for boss Tong to prepare herself mentally, they set off.

Just as boss Tong had predicted, they arrived at the ‘tofu shop’ in just over 20 minutes.

“There are too many changes.” The moment boss Tong got off the car, she saw the familiar yet strange scenery and felt emotional.

“It’s good that you haven’t changed. ” Yuan Zhou said.

Hearing that, boss Tong fell into deep thought with a bewildered look on her face. For a moment, it was hard for her to recognize him.
