Chapter 1224: Chu Xiao’s suggestion
The amount of two portions of pufferfish Roe wasn't much. Plus, Wu Hai was at the side, so they ate even faster.
Speaking of which, Wu Hai was quite restrained this time. That was because he ate the fish with chopsticks instead of pouring it out. Otherwise, Zhou Shijie and Lee Yanyi might not even be able to eat a single piece of fish.
"Too little. There's not enough for my cat." Wu Hai smacked his mouth and said pitifully.
"It's indeed a small amount. " It was rare for Lee Yanyi to agree with what Wu Hai said. However, he always agreed with Wu Hai when he didn't complain much.
"Little Yuan, the amount you have is indeed not a lot." Zhou Shijie also said with an unsatisfied tone.
This time, before Yuan Zhou could reply, Zhou Shijie said again,""Look at the three of us, we should have at least three fish."
"Wrong. It's four people. Boss Yuan also ate it and got four fish." Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and said with a serious look.
"That's right. " Lee Yanyi nodded.
"You can't eat too much pufferfish," Yuan Zhou said.
"It's hard to come by, so it's fine. " Zhou Shijie said generously.
"I haven't eaten pufferfish from last year to this year. I can have another one." Lee Yanyi said.
"Boss Yuan, you should know best whether I have eaten it or not." Wu Hai looked at Yuan Zhou gloomily.
There was nothing wrong with Wu Hai's words. Ever since he started to eat at Yuan Zhou's restaurant, he had been eating here for three meals a day, unless he went out.
Since it was Yuan Zhou's first time serving pufferfish, it was definitely Wu Hai's first time to eat it.
"I can't do it today, so I only prepared two." Seeing the three people looking at him expectantly, Yuan Zhou said unhurriedly.
"No more?" Lee Yanyi craned his neck and looked at Yuan Zhou's Kitchen.
"There's nothing else," Yuan Zhou moved aside and signaled everyone to look at the crystal fish tank over there. It was indeed empty.
"Your fish tank is so empty. My cat doesn't even want to come." Wu Hai said disdainfully and then changed the topic,""You really don't have any more?"
"Yes, there's nothing else." Yuan Zhou said the same thing in the two sentences. Even his tone was as serious and earnest as before.
"Every time I come to your place to eat, I always feel a little hungry. I always feel that I'm not full." Zhou Shijie sighed.
"Indeed. If I go to other places, people will prepare a table full of dishes for fear that I won't be full. But when I come here to eat, I'm still not full every time." Lee Yanyi also ridiculed.
"It's not because I don't have a lot, but because it's delicious, so I feel it's too little. " Yuan Zhou declared solemnly.
"I just didn't eat my fill." Wu Hai said stubbornly.
"You've only had dinner for less than an hour. " Yuan Zhou looked at Wu Hai and said earnestly.
"This has nothing to do with time. I'm just hungry." Wu Hai said earnestly.
"Ahem, since little Yuan says there's no such dish, then there's no such dish. However, will there still be this dish in the apprenticeship banquet the day after tomorrow?" Zhou Shijie suddenly said.
"No, I didn 't," Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.
"That won't do. Since you've acknowledged old Lian as your master, you naturally have to let him have a taste of the world's most delicious fish." Zhou Shijie said with a look of "I'm doing this for your own good. "
"But I don't have a license to deal with pufferfish, so I can't deal with pufferfish outside." Yuan Zhou said primly.
"It's simple. I'll have Lili bring it to you tomorrow. " Zhou Shijie said immediately.
"I'll provide the pufferfish, and I guarantee it's the best. It's settled then. I still have something to do. See you at the apprenticeship banquet the day after tomorrow." This time, Lee Yanyi spoke very quickly and also walked very fast, even faster than Zhou Shijie.
"It's all up to you then, little Yuan. I'll take my leave now. There's still a lot of work to do in this office. " Zhou Shijie said while walking. He was not slow.
"Uncle Zhou, uncle li ..." Yuan Zhou had just opened his mouth when the two people disappeared.
"Tsk, tsk, I've never seen such a shameless person. Compass, do you want to be my disciple? Then I'll give you a painting so that I can also eat at the apprenticeship banquet. " Wu Hai first spurned the behavior of the two people and then said naturally.
... You know Carpenter Lian?" Yuan Zhou was speechless.
"I don 't, but I do know you." Wu Hai shook his head and said.
"It's carpenter Lian, my master, who decided to treat us to a meal. It's not me who decided it." Yuan Zhou said.
"Alright, I understand. Carpenter Lian, right?" Wu Hai nodded his head and then turned around and left.
When he walked to the door, Wu Hai suddenly turned his head,""Thank you for your pufferfish, compass. It's very delicious."
"You're welcome," Yuan Zhou said.
As soon as the three people left, the restaurant became empty. Yuan Zhou thought of the three people who ran faster than rabbits just now and shook his head with a smile,""Uncle Zhou and uncle li are really old kids."
"I wonder what Wu Hai is up to. I feel like I'm seeing him at the apprenticeship banquet." Yuan Zhou thought for a while and felt a little helpless.
No one was more persistent than Wu Hai when it came to eating.
Time passed quickly and the day Yuan Zhou acknowledged his master arrived very soon.
Carpenter Lian was very considerate of Yuan Zhou. The apprenticeship banquet was set at 9:00 in the evening, which was specially designed for Yuan Zhou.
When Yuan Zhou received the time, he was quite touched.
Of course, the ceremony was actually in the afternoon. However, as soon as they finished drinking the tea offered by Yuan Zhou, Carpenter Lian drove Yuan Zhou away and didn't need him to accompany them anymore.
Yuan Zhou wanted to stay, but he was still sent away by Carpenter Lian,""It's not a big deal. I don't expect you to learn carpentry in the future. I just want you to pass on your skills. There's no need for so many red tape and troublesome things."
When he became Yuan Zhou's apprentice, Carpenter Lian had said that he only wanted his skills to be mastered by others after his death. However, he didn't request Yuan Zhou to be a Carpenter in the future.
Moreover, he even said that if he didn't have to acknowledge Yuan Zhou as his master before he could learn it, he wouldn't even ask Yuan Zhou to acknowledge him as his master.
Carpenter Lian had also explained that he would teach Yuan Zhou even if he didn't acknowledge him as his master due to his talent and temperament.
Carpenter Lian's way of doing things was quite contradictory. He wanted the title but didn't really care about it. Moreover, he was very considerate of Yuan Zhou.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou returned to Carpenter Lian's place after dinner and prepared a sumptuous feast for him.
Yuan Zhou had spent 120% of his energy to cook each dish. Therefore, even if these ingredients were not as good as the top-grade ones provided by the system, the taste was not inferior to the dishes in his restaurant at all.
Moreover, Yuan Zhou faintly felt that his cooking skills had improved a little.
There was only one table for the apprenticeship banquet and 12 people in total. Including Yuan Zhou, there were only 13 people in total. Wu Hai was among them.
Yuan Zhou indicated that he didn't find it strange at all. After all, it was Wu Hai.
After the apprenticeship banquet ended, it was already 10:30 in the evening, and the people left one after another.
Wu Hai and Yuan Zhou were picked up by Zheng Jiawei. The two people were very silent in the car. After a while, Yuan Zhou's phone rang.
It was still the same old and harsh ringing sound.
Yuan Zhou took a look at the phone and directly answered it,""Chu Xiao?"
"Congratulations on taking me as your master." Chu Xiao directly congratulated him at the other end of the phone.
"Thank you," he said. Yuan Zhou said politely.
"I know about the Michelin company. It's good to reject it. It's too early now." Chu Xiao.
"It's not a matter of time. I think Michelin has good reviews for Western food, but I'm making Chinese food now." Yuan Zhou said earnestly.
