Chapter 1496: Catching up with the trend
The old Adjutant smiled and did not reply. He only helped grandfather Ling to the dining table and prepared to eat breakfast.
The reason why the old Adjutant didn’t object was actually very simple. It was because grandfather Ling’s health indicators had been good recently and he could go out to eat.
This was also the reason why grandfather Ling hadn’t been to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant for meals recently. He was getting on in years and really couldn’t stand there and wait for so long.
The main reason was that he had fallen sick because he was too tired from completing squad leader Jia’s unfinished business some time ago, which was to find the friends and relatives of his comrades.
Therefore, their diet was strictly monitored. They had only just gotten a little better and they were already thinking about going to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant to eat.
While Ling Hong rushed to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant as soon as he got up, someone else also got up early on the other side. That person was Wu Hai.
Wu Hai stood by his window and waited for Yuan Zhou to run past him. Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, was running earnestly and responding to the greetings of some neighbors from time to time.
“Morning, boss Yuan.”
“Good Morning, little boss Yuan. You’re exercising again.”
“Little Yuan, you’re really young. You’re even wearing so little for jogging.”
“Pay attention to your health, boss Yuan. The flu has been quite serious recently.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? training your body will naturally make you stronger. You will definitely not be infected.”
“Exactly. She misses boss Yuan so much all day long. Right, boss Yuan? a batch of good ingredients have arrived in our restaurant. Boss Yuan, you can come and eat them when you have time.”
On hearing this greeting, Yuan Zhou nodded his head one by one to show that he had heard it. These words didn’t sound very important, but they were quite pleasing to the ear.
It was a greeting from the neighbors. Nowadays, even the neighboring apartment 1101 was not as good as the neighboring apartment 1102, let alone the neighbors.
Many people treated Yuan Zhou to a meal, especially the restaurant owners. They now all felt that if they could invite boss Yuan to have a meal in their restaurant, the new year would definitely be smooth.
It was the same last year as well. Yuan Zhou only agreed to one or two restaurants. Then, the business of these two restaurants became particularly good this year. He wondered where the attribute of the koi fish came from.
Of course, it was also conceivable that they were more concerned about whether Yuan Zhou was open for business during the new year.
“Boss Yuan, are you still open for business during the Chinese New Year?”
“Yeah. Boss Yuan, are you opening the restaurant for the Chinese New Year this year?”
“If you open the door, please let us know. We will open the door together with you. After all, we can’t let boss Yuan be the only one on Taoxi road.” It was obvious that the person who said this was the shop next door.
“That’s right. If you open the door, we will open the door too and let boss Yuan have a good time. “
“Yes, I did. As usual, I don’t turn it on at night on the 30th. I only turn on the lights for dinner.” Yuan Zhou answered.
“That’s fine. Then we’ll drive on Taoxi road until the day of the Lunar New Year’s Eve. ” The shop owners all responded.
“Yes, let’s stay until the day of the 30th.” The people at the side also echoed.
“Alright,” he said. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then ran away slowly.
The discussion behind him did not stop.
“This boss Yuan is so young, but he can manage a restaurant all by himself. He’s really amazing.” The new shop owner couldn’t help but sigh.
“That’s right. Thanks to boss Yuan, our business is still so good even though the Chinese New Year is approaching. ” The person who replied was also the boss of the new eatery.
“You’re just inexperienced. Boss Yuan isn’t supporting his restaurant. He’s supporting the flow of people in our area. Otherwise, how could there be so many customers?” It was Pozi Wang, the boss of the hardware store.
“Exactly. You’re late. You don’t know how our Taoxi road used to be. It wasn’t as lively as it is now.” Drinking together was also an old shop owner on this Street.
“Exactly. Thanks to boss Yuan, our business is so good. We are all relying on boss Yuan to get some benefits.” This was the boss opposite boss Yuan who often changed his shop sign.
“I know, right? boss Yuan has such a good business here. In the past, he said that he had a suite on Taoxi road, but he didn ‘t. Now that you say he has a suite on Taoxi road, it’s really different.” A passing Auntie interrupted.
“That’s true. Not long ago, when I went to handle the business of the branch, the attitude of the government officials was very ordinary. However, when I said that the main branch was at Taoxi road, that guy’s eyes were full of envy. ” Someone said.
In the past, the most valuable Chinese character was ‘tear down’, but now the most valuable one was ‘Taoxi road shop’.
“I see that the food City in front of us is advertising that they are close to our Taoxi road and boss Yuan’s restaurant,” The new boss said proudly.
“That’s for sure. You should know that the boss of the so-called gourmet city paid such a high price to hire boss Yuan as his head chef, but boss Yuan didn’t even do it. ” The middle-aged woman put away the basket and gestured with five fingers. She said with an exaggerated expression.
“How much is this?” The new boss looked at the middle-aged woman curiously.
The Auntie immediately walked in mysteriously and then started to narrate the whole story. She started from how Wu Yungui knew about Yuan Zhou and then ended with how Yuan Zhou refused Wu Yungui for the sake of the shops on this Street and the neighbors.
During the period, they were not stingy with all kinds of words of praise for Yuan Zhou. The words “young and promising” were the lightest, and the words “Grandmaster’s bearing” were the lowest.
It was said in a very detailed way. Even Yuan Zhou himself would probably listen to it with great interest if he heard it. It was as wonderful as going out of a thatched cottage three times.
Of course, Yuan Zhou couldn’t hear that. He didn’t stop walking and just ran to Wu Hai’s building.
“Yo.” Wu Hai raised his hand and greeted him.
“You came down for a run?” Yuan Zhou said.
“No, no, no. That was my plan, but there’s no need to do so now.” Wu Hai shook his head and said.
“Oh.” After hearing that, Yuan Zhou prepared to continue running away.
“Aren’t you going to ask me why?” Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and revealed an expression of “ask me quickly”.
“I’m not interested in knowing. ” Yuan Zhou said indifferently.
“Um…” Wu Hai’s hand paused and then he continued,””I was going to ask you if you have anything to eat on Chinese New Year’s Eve. After all, Zheng Jiawei and I are alone this year. So I decided to come and spend the Chinese New Year with you.”
“Oh right, no need to thank me. I’ve always been a righteous person.” Wu Hai said.
Wu Hai said that with a serious and matter-of-fact manner, as if it could cover his purpose of freeloading for free.
“Thank you, but No.” After Yuan Zhou said that, he ran far away.
After all, the usage of Wu Hai’s idioms was really unbearable for Yuan Zhou, a good student.
“Wait for me on Chinese New Year’s Eve,” Wu Hai shouted at Yuan Zhou’s back.
Yuan Zhou acted as if he didn’t hear her and ran into the back alley directly. Then, he went back to the restaurant to wash up.
As the Chinese New Year was coming, Yuan Zhou’s recent habit was to prepare the ingredients for breakfast with the door open. But today, as soon as he opened the door, he saw two people standing at the door.
“Good Morning, boss.” Zhou Jia and Shen Min greeted him in unison.
“Yes, morning.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head calmly.
Zhou Jia and Shen Min looked at each other and then Zhou Jia said,””It’s like this, boss. You said that today is the last day of work and no one is needed at night, so I discussed with Shen Min that we will come together today. “
When she said that, Zhou Jia was a little nervous. Even Shen Min at the side was a little nervous.
After all, Yuan Zhou had told them to stay for a while in the afternoon. However, they had come earlier because they wanted to help more. Therefore, they were a little nervous now.
In fact, if it were three years ago, or two years ago, Yuan Zhou wouldn’t have made them so nervous. But now, Yuan Zhou was becoming more and more like a Grandmaster, which made them feel a little ashamed for disobeying Yuan Zhou’s words.
Even if the original intention was to do more for the store.
“Yes, sure.” After a nod, Yuan Zhou turned around and went back to the kitchen.
“Thank you, boss.” When they found Yuan Zhou wasn’t angry, the two of them immediately heaved a sigh of relief and then strode into the restaurant.
However, Yuan Zhou didn’t start to prepare the ingredients immediately after he returned to the kitchen. Instead, he opened the drawer and took out two red packets,””It’s popular now to pay thirteen salaries to employees who have worked for an entire year. This is your salary for the thirteenth month.”
While saying that, Yuan Zhou handed out two red packets.

[ps: it’s Chinese New Year’s Eve today. I wish everyone a happy, happy, and smooth life. Spend more time with your family, watch more Spring Festival galas, and read less novels. (If you keep your voice down, you’ll forget that I don’t update very much.)]
