Uncle Cai didn’t know the high medicinal value of mulberry leaves. They needed to be picked after the frost fell for the medicinal effect to reach its peak.

For uncle Cai, who had only gone to literacy classes and could only recognize a few words, knowing that mulberry leaves could be used to cook and cure diseases was already a big deal.

Naturally, Yuan Zhou was well aware of that. He was quite touched when he saw Grandpa Cai specially send it to him. He said directly,””I need some mulberry leaves for cooking recently. I was planning to buy some, but you just happened to send it over. It’s like sending coal in the snow. It’s just right.”

“No need to buy, no need to buy, my mulberry leaves are very good.” Grandpa Cai secretly puffed out his chest and smiled. “It’s good that you can use it. “

Grandpa Cai was very happy to see that the things were useful. Previously, it had always been Yuan Zhou who had helped him buy so many mulberries. Although he was not well educated, he still knew that he had to repay those who were good to him.

“I’m not here to deliver the Mulberry leaves this time. Little boss Yuan has something good to show you. ” Grandpa Cai said.

As he spoke, he pretended to be mysterious and slowly removed the White gauze covering the other basket, revealing mulberry leaves. However, compared to the delicate mulberry leaves earlier, the color here was darker. At a glance, it was obvious that they were all old leaves.

Uncle Cai opened up a few large leaves, revealing the contents inside. It was milky white in color, not pure, but mixed with some pink. It was a type of white poplar plum. Although it had not reached the level of crystal Poplar plum, it was not far away, and it was also a rare species.

“Grandpa Cai, have the fruit trees in your Orchard borne fruit?” Yuan Zhou recognized it at first glance.

“Yes, yes, yes. This is the first year. Coincidentally, there’s a crystal species hidden in it. It can be eaten today and is very fresh. You have to try it. The other Yang Mei are not special.” Grandpa Cai said.

There was a little joy of a harvest on his face, so simple that it made people feel much better.

There was almost half a basket of fruits in the basket. Since there was only one tree, all the fruits were probably here. Yuan Zhou said embarrassedly,””Uncle Cai, you’ve already brought this. What are you and Auntie going to eat? you should bring some back. Have you set the price for this Yang Mei?”

Yuan Zhou knew that the best crystal Bayberry would usually cost at least tens of RMB. It wasn’t easy for him to prevent Grandpa Cai from suffering a loss.

Uncle Cai’s originally smiling face immediately became fierce as he said,””Little boss Yuan, I don’t like to hear that. What’s the price? this is for you to try. If you like it, just accept it. It doesn’t need any money.”

After saying that, Grandpa Cai even looked at Yuan Zhou angrily. It was obvious that Yuan Zhou had just mentioned the money. Grandpa Cai was very unhappy.

“Alright, I’ll accept your kind intentions, but I made some western Hunan bacon flavor and brought some back for you and aunt to try. Also, you have to take back the Mulberry jam I made and drink it with water. It’s just right now, so you can’t refuse it. It’s also my kind intentions.” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then said a compromise.

Previously, Yuan Zhou had always wanted to give something to Grandpa Cai. However, Grandpa Cai was indeed his Grandpa. Every time he refused, Yuan Zhou would have nothing to say. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wouldn’t let it go.

“Alright. But just take a little. Little boss Yuan still needs to keep it for business.” Uncle Cai thought for a moment and relented.

Yuan Zhou went back and took out two winnowing baskets to store the Mulberry leaves and waxberries. Then, he quickly stuffed a chicken, a fish, a duck, and a few pieces of cured meat and sausages into Grandpa Cai’s basket, not letting him touch them at all.

After dealing with the business, Grandpa Cai intended to leave. He was afraid of disturbing Yuan Zhou’s business.

Yuan Zhou didn’t stay any longer. He knew that he couldn’t keep Grandpa Cai here. Therefore, he called a taxi and told Grandpa Cai his destination before sending him off.

Before Grandpa Cai left, he even told Yuan Zhou to eat the White poplar plum well, saying that it was good for the stomach. He knew that Yuan Zhou didn’t eat regularly when he opened the restaurant and was afraid that he would overeat. This was also the reason why Grandpa Cai was in a hurry to deliver the dish.

“It seems that the old man’s small orchard is quite successful. This is good. The old couple will have a much better life with this source of income in the future.” Yuan Zhou said in his heart.

Yuan Zhou enjoyed the grandpa’s concern very much. Just like the old grandma, she would send him big tangyuans every year.

He cleaned up the waxberries and tasted one. Compared to ordinary red waxberries, the White poplar plum was sweeter and less sour. It tasted pretty good.

Although there were many white bayberries, they were easy to process. They could be used to make wine and fruit jam. However, it was a little difficult to process a basket of mulberry leaves. Generally speaking, it was better to dry them and make tea.

However, these mulberry leaves had not been through frost cooling and thus had low medicinal value. It was not cost-effective to use them to make tea. Usually, Yuan Zhou would just soak goji berries in a thermos cup. This kind of mulberry leaves was not easy to soak even after being dried.

“Since it can’t be dried, it can only be used fresh. It should be good for cooking.” After thinking for a while, Yuan Zhou had an idea in his heart.

For the past two days, the weather forecast had been giving an orange warning of high temperature. The weather was hot, and even without the sun, the temperature was still high. Therefore, anti-summer disinfection work had to be done.

For this reason, Yuan Zhou specially prepared a lot more of the sour plum soup and even specially instructed them to add some ice cubes to prevent the customers from getting heatstroke.

It seemed that the fifth-year anniversary would have to be held in the hot summer.

“Xiaoya will be back tomorrow. The Mulberry leaves should be just right for tomorrow’s use after today’s processing.”

After making up his mind, Yuan Zhou began to wash the Mulberry leaves one by one. He planned to wash them clean and then cook them in the pot after the moisture was drained. In this way, the shape of the Mulberry leaves could be maintained.

Time passed even faster when he was busy, and it was soon dinnertime.

At dinner, mark finally got in touch with ju man Li and the others, and then the group of people sat together. You could imagine the degree of liveliness. With mark walking around from time to time, it became a scene in the restaurant.

However, in the face of delicious food, everyone would at most raise their eyes to look at it. The rest of the time, they would still focus on the food.

After the meal, mark didn’t leave. Instead, he found a place where he could see Yuan Zhou’s actions clearly and couldn’t block the customers.

Coincidentally, that place used to be Cheng zhaomei’s exclusive territory. As long as he was in the store, that position would be his, whether it was before or after he became her disciple.

Now it was commandeered by mark. This was offending two chefs at once, and he didn’t know if this martial arts was good or not.

Nothing special happened. Master chef Restaurant continued to operate as usual. Soon, it was time for Yin ya to return to China.

As they were going back together with her company’s people, Yin ya didn’t let Yuan Zhou pick her up. She didn’t even tell him the flight time.

Only after Yuan Zhou managed to get some time from Yin ya’s colleague and best friend did he start to prepare for it.

yuan zhou knew yin ya very well. after she returned to the country, she would first hand over the work at the company and then get off work and go home. therefore, yuan zhou planned to stop her at the entrance of the company. otherwise, if he really waited at the airport, he would be giving yin ya special treatment, which was not conducive to her integration into the group life.

in order to welcome yin ya, yuan zhou specially prepared a super large food container.

“Don’t run if you’re fat, you can’t run even if you want to. ” Yuan Zhou snorted in a low voice.
