Chapter 462: Wu Hai’s Snack

Translator: Xiong_Guoqi Editor: DesTheSloth

“Thank you all for coming . See you in the evening . ” Zhou Jia stood at the door and said smilingly .

Then, the customers left soon one after another .

In the end, only Wu Hai, Su Mu and Ling Hong still stayed there .

“Boss Yuan, I know a very good fruit & veggie shop . How about I take you there for a visit?” Su Mu said to Yuan Zhou sincerely while looking at him .

“You are stealing my idea . ” Ling Hong snorted coldly with disdain .

“But it works . ” Su Mu smiled indifferently .

The three people stayed here naturally for Yuan Zhou .

Ling Hong brought a pile of vegetables and meat last time and had a decent hotpot . Naturally, the several other people were envious of that, not to mention that Ling Hong told them proudly that Yuan Zhou helped him to select these vegetables .

That made the several other people more envious . Therefore, Su Mu prepared to use this old trick, again .

“No, thanks . I haven’t even sculpted the radishes bought yesterday . ” Yuan Zhou refused blankly .

“Don’t you want to have more, Boss Yuan?” Su Mu said mildly .

“Fresh ones are easier to sculpt . ” Yuan Zhou answered earnestly .

As for Su Mu’s purpose, Yuan Zhou was certainly quite clear, but sculpting mattered more . It was definitely not because he was too lazy to go out . Well, that was the reason .

“Like I said, you can’t do it . ” Ling Hong shrugged and then said confidently .

“Never mind . I will have other solutions . ” Su Mu wasn’t discouraged at all . Instead, he said with confidence .

“Boss Yuan, are you going out today?” Having kept silent for quite a while, Wu Hai suddenly said that at the side .

“No, I won’t . ” Yuan Zhou answered positively .

“Great . I will bring you some snacks this afternoon . ” Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and said smilingly .

Wu Hai was very smart . He didn’t say a single word about helping him to buy vegetables, but contrarily turned around and left .

“Tsk-tsk . You are surprisingly trying to bribe him . Shame on you, small mustache . ” Su Mu pointed at Wu Hai and shouted .

“No, no . We are just communicating . ” Wu Hai said complacently .

“We know you have learned cooking from Boss Yuan . So what?” Naturally, Su Mu knew about this matter .

After all, Wu Hai had shown off this experience in front of them for a long time .

He especially liked showing off in front of Master Cheng .

“Only some vegetable dishes that are barely acceptable . ” Ling Hong hit the nail on the head .

“Even so, I cooked it under Boss Yuan’s personal instructions . ” Wu Hai was quite proud .

“That was a very simple trade between us . ” Yuan Zhou immediately explained, trying to show innocence .

What a joke! What a shock it would be if Wu Hai told others that his craftsmanship was learned from Yuan Zhou!

“You are right . Still, you have taught me for three days . ” After saying that, Wu Hai turned around and left . Upon hearing that, Yuan Zhou found it inappropriate to contradict him .

“See you in the evening . ” Yuan Zhou said to the remaining two people .

Only when they realized Yuan Zhou appeared to be preparing to see the customers out did the two people start to leave .

“See you . ” Su Mu and Ling Hong said at the same time .

“Um . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

“Ta Ta Ta” . The footsteps of the two people sounded to be consistent .

“I can finally sculpt . ” Yuan Zhou sat down and took a rest for a while before he muttered to himself .

After that, he moved the chair and some other stuff to the door and prepared to sculpt .

“The cold breeze blows gently . It feels so good . ” Seated at the door, Yuan Zhou said softly after a puff of cold wind .

“Zhi Ya” . He stood up and opened the door wider so that the warm air inside could provide him with some warmth .

Having done all that, Yuan Zhou got seated and prepared to sculpt .

“Vegetables, vegetables! Who wants green bamboo shoots?” While Yuan Zhou was selecting the radishes, an aged voice passed from a distance .

An old granny dressed in a deep red cotton-padded coat and black plush trousers was peddling in the street while carrying two large bamboo baskets .

Just in a little while, she walked to the restaurant that served noodles .

“Boss, do you want to buy some green bamboo shoots? They are newly picked and are very fresh . ” The old granny revealed a smile on her face and asked the boss enthusiastically .

“No, I don’t . ” The female boss refused her directly .

“The price is originally 2 . 5 per 500g . I can offer you 2 . 2 . ” The old granny was still trying to promote her bamboo shoots . While saying that, she even showed the bamboo basket to her .

“Go away . You are affecting my business . ” The female boss was originally quite mean . After she said that, she even reached out his hand to push the old granny away .

“Okay . Sorry for bothering you . ” The old granny didn’t say anything more, but just smiled and carried her green bamboo shoots towards Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

“Ta Ta Ta” . Her footsteps sounded quite steady .

“Boss, want some green bamboo shoots?” The old granny asked Yuan Zhou with enthusiasm immediately at the sight of Yuan Zhou .

“How much is it?” Yuan Zhou considered for a second and asked .

“2 . 2 per 500g . It was 2 . 5 in the morning . ” The old granny said clearly .

The vegetables in the bamboo baskets were not much . The several different vegetables weighed no more than 3 kilos in all .

“Please weigh all the vegetables . I will go bring my basket here . ” After that, Yuan Zhou turned around and entered his restaurant .

There was a bamboo basket on the first floor of the pub . He could use it to put the vegetables in .

“Thank you, boss . I will weigh them right now . ” A delighted smile appeared on the granny’s smile . She sorted out the vegetables cleanly with her clean hands full of calluses .

After Yuan Zhou took out the basket, the old granny had sorted out all the remaining vegetables separately . The green bamboo shoots and the small cabbage plants were laid out in order and waiting to be weighed .

“Get them weighed and put in the basket . ” Yuan Zhou put the basket beside the feet of the old granny and said earnestly .

“Okay . Look, boss . My scales are the most accurate . ” The granny took her black scale and said with a big smile .

“Um . ” Yuan Zhou nodded .

“Green bamboo shoots 1 . 9 kilos; cabbage plants 0 . 75 kilos and 0 . 5 kilos of spinach . That’s all . ” The old granny reported the weights while weighing .

Yuan Zhou just responded with a nod .

When Yuan Zhou paid money, the old granny even rounded up the figure on her own initiative .

“Thank you, boss . ” The old granny said happily with the money in her hand .

“You are welcome . Take care . ” Yuan Zhou watched the old granny leave with her empty bamboo baskets .

Only after the old granny walked further did Yuan Zhou watch the basket full of vegetables and mutter, “It seems like I can have some vegetable soup tonight . “

Shortly afterwards, Wu Hai came downstairs from the building across the street . He was carrying a plate with a lid over it .

“It’s the snack made by you?” Yuan Zhou pointed at the plate in Wu Hai’s hands .

“Yeah . It’s definitely tasty . ” Wu Hai said confidently .

“What is it?” Yuan Zhou asked calmly .

“Mandarin duck cake, a variety of local snack from the He’nan Province . ” Wu Hai said that unprepared .

“I hope this cake didn’t require many colors . ” Yuan Zhou asked again cautiously .

“Of course not . ” Wu Hai looked at Yuan Zhou with a strange gaze .

“Okay . ” Yuan Zhou finally nodded with safety .

Wu Hai took a step forward and suddenly saw the basket full of vegetables at the door .

“You bought vegetables?” Wu Hai felt strange and then asked .

“Not really . Someone came to sell the vegetables and I bought some for myself . ” Yuan Zhou said lightly .

“It is 3:40 p . m . right now, the good time to eat snacks . ” Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and looked at Yuan Zhou fervently .

“Well, let me taste it . ” Yuan Zhou took a much longer while to consider this time before saying that, even longer than the process of buying the vegetables .

“Let’s go and taste it inside . ” Wu Hai carried the plate and walked into the restaurant .

“Um . ” After a nod, Yuan Zhou followed him into the restaurant .
