In the following days, Yuan Zhou would see li Zhaodi waiting at the back door in the afternoon almost every day. The same place and the same humble attitude. The only thing that changed was probably her expression, which got worse day by day. But every time, she would ask Yuan Zhou to cook a snack that used to be very common but was almost invisible now.

Although Yuan Zhou was a little puzzled, he couldn’t bear to refuse li Zhaodi when he saw her extremely Haggard appearance. He could only speed up the time every time. As long as the business time ended, he would come to the back door to see li Zhaodi so as not to waste time.

Respecting others meant doing one’s own thing well. Since li Zhaodi didn’t mention her own thing, Yuan Zhou didn’t ask.

In fact, if it wasn’t for Li Hua’s serious illness, li Zhaodi would have desperately urged her divorced daughter to continue working to earn money to support her brother. It was only when Li Hua was sent to the hospital that she realized it was too late. Li Hua had worked for many years and didn’t have many clothes. He didn’t even have any savings. Only his salary for that month was only paid the day before he was sent to the hospital, so he didn’t have time to transfer it out.

Looking at her daughter’s house that was as empty as a snow cave and her thin body, li Zhaodi suddenly felt that her daughter was also a person, a living person who could cry and laugh. Unfortunately, she was no longer a person now. Except for when she ate delicious snacks, she had no reaction at all.

Although it was painful, li Zhaodi still knew her own limitations. There was nothing she could do now. As long as she could fulfill her daughter’s wishes, she didn’t care what happened to herself. It didn’t matter. Unfortunately, it was too late. Otherwise, why would there be everything in the world except for the medicine for regret?

Today was the fifth day since li Zhaodi came. As usual, Yuan Zhou immediately headed to the back door after lunch time ended.

“Creak!”

The moment he opened the door, Yuan Zhou found something was wrong. Usually, at this time, he would feel a very eager gaze from li Zhaodi. But today, he didn’t feel that.

The door was completely opened. Without even looking at the rice soup and noodles that were about to come to his feet, Yuan Zhou looked straight at the place where li Zhaodi used to stand, but there was no one there.

“Eh?” Yuan Zhou was a little surprised that there was no one there.

Yesterday, li Zhaodi said that she would come over today. Usually, she would come over and wait at this time. There was no exception. What was going on?

Unfortunately, Yuan Zhou didn’t leave any contact information and thus he couldn’t contact anyone.

“Rice, no one came over to wait here today, right?” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then asked about the rice.

As the pet of the master chef Restaurant and the self-proclaimed Sentry, nothing within a ten-meter radius of the restaurant could escape her eyes.

Therefore, when Yuan Zhou asked, he immediately said,””Woof woof woof, woof woof woof, Woof.”

Yuan Zhou listened carefully and said,”you mean those who came a few days ago didn’t come today?”

Rice wagged its tail and said,”Woof.”

“Alright, I got it. Thank you for your hard work. I’ll get you some new food today. See if you like it.” Yuan Zhou said thoughtfully.

Although he didn’t know why li Zhaodi didn’t come on time, Yuan Zhou was afraid that she was just delayed by something. Therefore, in the afternoon, he directly changed to studying the ancient books of recipes and moved his seat to the back door.

Unfortunately, no one came until it was time to prepare the ingredients for dinner. Therefore, Yuan Zhou could only go back to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients on time.

This continued for three days. When Yuan Zhou decided not to wait any longer, he was informed of the reason by Tian Fang who came suddenly.

When he learned that li Zhaodi’s daughter was gone and she had also returned to the countryside, he was asked to come over to tell Yuan Zhou and thank him. After that, Yuan Zhou became silent.

Not until then did Yuan Zhou learn the truth of some things from Tian Fang. Only then did he know that the mother he thought was great was actually not as he had imagined.

After Tian Fang left, Yuan Zhou still sat at the same place for a while without thinking about anything. Instead, he let go of his thoughts and felt the warm wind that was hard to come by in winter.

“In the future, Xiao Ya and I will definitely be a good pair of parents. If I have a daughter like Xiao Ya, I will definitely dote on her like a little princess.” Yuan Zhou felt that he could start to learn how to dote on his little princess from now on.

The big princess hadn’t married into the family yet, but the little princess was already imagining what she would do if a pig came to steal her cabbage. She jumped from the Father to the father-in-law role all of a sudden. It was only Yuan Zhou. Otherwise, it was easy for ordinary people to be involved if they had a big leap.

During the few days when Yuan Zhou was dealing with li Zhaodi’s request, Yang Wei, Gu Xun, and Jiao Hui had officially settled down in the restaurant.

After Yuan Zhou’s perusal, the matter of Jiao Hui and Gu Xun becoming nominal disciples of Shanghai cuisine was officially settled. However, since Yuan Zhou had taken over two cuisines this time, he was not in a hurry to talk about the ceremony. He planned to hold it together with the disciples of Fujian cuisine after the Fujian cuisines were served.

As the new Fujian cuisine hadn’t been served yet, it wasn’t appropriate to disclose it in advance. Yuan Zhou had only said that he would wait for a while before cooking. However, this made Gu Xun and Jiao Hui extremely anxious, especially Jiao Hui, who was not calm at all.

“Senior brother Gu, do you think master Yuan is going back on his words because he doesn’t like us? it’s been a week, why hasn’t he said anything about acknowledging us as his master?” Jiao Hui said in a low voice.

Although he hadn’t formally acknowledged Gu Xun as his master, Jiao Hui had already gotten used to calling him senior brother as he was older than him. As for the way Yuan Zhou addressed him, he wanted to call him master. However, it wouldn’t be proper. Therefore, he could only add his surname in front of master to cover it up.

“No, master always keeps his word. He will definitely do what he says. Besides, other cuisines already have in-name disciples, and our Shanghai cuisine is no exception. Since master said to wait, we will wait. Master must have his own considerations.” Gu Xun said calmly.

As for whether he was really calm or not, only he himself knew. It was probably because he had eaten two more years of rice than Jiao Hui and had more contact with Yuan Zhou. Although he hadn’t formally acknowledged Yuan Zhou as his master, Gu Xun had already shamelessly called Yuan Zhou his master in private.

Since Yuan Zhou had agreed to take in an in-name disciple and he had also seen Gu Xun and Jiao Hui, Yang Wei didn’t continue to bring the two of them to have an exchange with Yuan Zhou. After all, one exchange was enough for him to digest for a long time. If it weren’t for the promotion of the middle-aged generation of Shanghai cuisine, Yang Wei wouldn’t have done such a thing. Now that the matter had been perfectly resolved, he naturally wouldn’t bother Yuan Zhou all the time.

Jiao Hui had only met Yuan Zhou once on the night of his arrival. The closest he had ever met Yuan Zhou was when Yuan Zhou was cooking in the kitchen. Jiao Hui had always been eating outside, so he really didn’t know much about Yuan Zhou’s personality.

However, Gu Xun’s words made him roll his eyes. How could a man of Yuan Zhou’s status go back on his words, especially for such a big matter? that was not what he was worried about at all.

Jiao Hui felt like he was the only one awake. It was too difficult.
