“Ding-dong. Congratulations to the host for developing the internet-famous dish, steamed plain water. You have completed the continuous task and are rewarded with a chance to draw a saucy dish.”

After the discussion with uncle Zhou and uncle Zhang in the morning and the lunch ended, Yuan Zhou had already taken a taxi and headed for the airport.

As mentioned before, taoqian road wasn’t far away and there was a new airport bus. However, the airport bus had to be fully occupied before it could leave. For safety reasons, Yuan Zhou chose to take a taxi.

In the car, the system notification sounded.

Internet celebrity dish, plain water?

Yuan Zhou was a little dumbfounded. Recently, more and more people ordered plain water.

“Could it be because of the announcement made by the officials of shatterdan?” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then searched online with his phone.

Indeed, it was similar to what he had thought. After the official announcement of shatterdan, the “low-key” mineral water of master chef Restaurant had been targeted by the netizens.

There were even posts on the internet that said,”isn’t it worth it to spend a few dozen Yuan to enjoy better treatment than the France Royal family? Doesn’t he smell good?”

Of course, there were also people who said that a bowl of red braised pork was also fragrant.

In any case, it was finally fermented on the internet. After two weeks, the system judged that the plain water had reached the standard of an internet popular dish.

“I don’t have any doubts about the reputation of plain water, but is plain water also a dish?” Such a question arose in Yuan Zhou’s heart.

The system displayed,[if the host has any questions, the system can withdraw the reward.]

“It’s fine. Since I’ve already been rewarded, I don’t want it. You’ll lose face. ” Yuan Zhou said.

The system was really honest.

Yuan Zhou had always been leeching off the continuous mission of cooking internet celebrity dishes. Even if he wanted more saucers, the internet celebrity dishes were things that could only be encountered by luck. For example, water and the primer was old Lu.

For the time being, Yuan Zhou received the reward and didn’t draw the sauce dish. He liked to figure things out one by one.

The brothers in Chengdu drove, unlike the brothers in Mountain City who felt like they were drifting every time they reached a curve. The brother from Chengdu was quite steady, so he arrived safely.

At 3:00 in the afternoon, Yuan Zhou had already been waiting for a while at the airport. He had confirmed the time with aunt Tong last night and couldn’t be late.

In order to welcome boss Tong back this time, Yuan Zhou started to study about the tofu banquet before he got the reward of the Shandong cuisine. He knew that boss Tong had been an apprentice in a Tofu House when she was young, so she had a special love for tofu.

This morning, Yuan Zhou had already ordered the soybean milk and the tofu pudding. In order to let boss Tong have free time, Yuan Zhou specially made an appointment with Yin ya for tonight’s dinner and the magical beast of the restaurant.

This time, Wu Shou wasn’t freeloading on the meal. One should know that Wu Hai and aunt Tong were considered acquaintances. Before aunt Tong left, Wu Hai’s clothes were all washed in the dry cleaning shop opened by boss Tong. It could be said that Wu Shou was a big member of the dry cleaning shop. Thus, he naturally became familiar with her.

At 3:10 am, Yuan Zhou saw aunt Tong come out with a suitcase. Compared to a few years ago, aunt Tong didn’t change much. Probably because she had been out for a few years, her spirit had become better.

“Aunt Tong, this way.” Yuan Zhou waved his hand to signal her.

“Little Yuan, you must have waited for a long time. Did I delay your business?” Boss Tong arrived in front of Yuan Zhou in a few steps while dragging her luggage. On her slightly thin face, there was a smile of reunion after a long time.

“How did you lose weight? is it too hard to run a restaurant? you should pay attention to rest. Your cooking skills are there.” Boss Tong looked him up and down and felt that Yuan Zhou had lost weight.

Aunt Tong had also watched Yuan Zhou grow up. Boss Tong didn’t have any children and thus had a good relationship with Yuan Zhou. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have given the store to Yuan Zhou.

“No, you eat a lot every day. How can you be thin? you’ve become stronger. How’s your body? you won’t be leaving this time.” Yuan Zhou took over the luggage from boss Tong’s hands and led her forward.

“My body’s still fine. I’ll walk around and see how much time has passed. I still want to go abroad to take a look. I’ll walk more while I’m still young. When I’m old and can’t walk anymore, I’ll go to a nursing home.” Boss Tong walked with Yuan Zhou.

“You’re still young. Stay a little longer this time. You haven’t eaten my food in a long time. Let’s have dinner together tonight. I’ll introduce my girlfriend to you. ” Yuan Zhou didn’t mean to oppose boss Tong.

“You’ve already found a girlfriend. What does she look like? how’s her personality? what’s her family like …”

Boss Tong had heard some of it from Yuan Zhou before. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have specially asked to come back this year. As soon as she started to talk, she couldn’t stop.

Yuan Zhou answered all of boss Tong’s questions. One old and one young, the questions and answers were quite harmonious. There was no generation gap between them.

After taking boss Tong to the room that Wu Yungui had specially reserved for her and letting her have a good rest, Yuan Zhou went back to his restaurant. It was almost dinnertime.

As it was the first day after Yuan Zhou’s break, the customers “enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high. Although it couldn’t make Yuan Zhou increase the business hours, no rules could stop the customers from ordering more dishes.

Therefore, those who usually ordered one dish would tighten their belts today and order two. Those who ordered two ordered three. As for Wu Hai, he didn’t count exactly. Of course, considering that there would be a tofu banquet later after dinner, he ordered less.

“Compass, compass, is aunt Tong here yet?” When the dinner time finally ended, Wu Hai immediately jumped into the restaurant.

“It’s not time yet, wait for a while. ” Yuan Zhou said without even raising his head. He was currently processing the tofu that needed to be processed in advance.

The tofu banquet prepared by Yuan Zhou was quite different from the traditional tofu banquet.

The traditional tofu banquet belonged to the category of Lu cuisine. It was taken from the meaning of “vegetarian food, tidying the body and mind.” It was used when the ancient Emperor, Mount Tai, offered sacrifices.

There were more than 150 tofu-related dishes to choose from. It was important to note that not all dishes of the tofu banquet were made with tofu. Instead, most of the dishes were made with tofu as the main or auxiliary ingredients.

However, Yuan Zhou didn’t want to be too harsh on it. This time, all the dishes were really tofu, even the main course.

It was modified from tofu rice. Why did it need to be improved? it had a bad meaning. Tofu rice was a part of the funeral custom in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai areas. It could not be improved.

“Alright, I’ll wait a little longer. I’m famished, so I can eat more.” Wu Hai sat on the edge of the partition and watched Yuan Zhou’s actions.

This time, Wu Hai came alone and didn’t bring Zhou Xi with him. The main character of this tofu banquet was boss Tong and Zhou Xi didn’t know boss Tong at all. In this regard, Wu Hai was quite good at it.

Yuan Zhou didn’t pay attention to Wu Hai’s actions. He picked up a piece of tofu and intended to carve it, in preparation for the fermented tofu that would be served later.

The so-called highest realm in the field of culinary sculpting, the tofu flower carving, was casually displayed by Yuan Zhou.

Wu Hai didn’t need Yuan Zhou to pay any attention to him. He just sat there and watched with his eyes shining. If it wasn’t raw and inedible, he might have even wanted to try it.

“Ta ta ta.”

It was Yin ya. This time, she came through the main door. She knew that Yuan Zhou would most likely be too busy to open the door.

After greeting Yuan Zhou and Wu Hai, Yin ya also sat at the side quietly. She was a little nervous to see the person whom Yuan Zhou regarded as an elder. Therefore, she even rushed back to change her clothes before coming here. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come here later than Wu Hai.

Yin ya had specially changed into a ladylike dress with a light yellow coat on the outside, making her look pretty and dignified. Even Yuan Zhou had taken a few glances at her when he was preparing.

After Mao Ye led the drinkers to the second floor and served the sober-up set meal, boss Tong finally arrived at the agreed time.
