Chapter 1297: Yuan Zhou’s notebook

Carpenter Lian wasn’t surprised by Yuan Zhou’s gift. He just nodded his head.

“Well, not bad. Your skills have improved.” Carpenter Lian took the wooden box without any hesitation and then said.

“Junior Brother, this is a wooden box made by master himself. You can take it back and slowly study it.” Yuan Zhou said when he handed it to Ma Xiao.

Ma Xiao, who was at the side, was immediately at a loss and didn’t dare to take it. He said,””No, I can’t take it. It’s too expensive. It’s not worth it. No, no.”

Seeing Yuan Zhou still trying to persuade him, Ma Xiao shook his head and said,””It’s already a blessing from my ancestors that I was able to witness and participate in the use of such precious yellow Rosewood to make furniture. I can’t accept this.”

“This is made from leftover materials, and it was personally made by master. Junior Brother, take it.” Yuan Zhou said solemnly.

“That won’t do either.” Ma Xiao still shook his head.

“Alright, since you called him senior brother, then take it. Next time he needs your help, you can help him.” Carpenter Lian said impatiently.

“But ...” Ma Xiao wanted to refuse again, but he was interrupted by Carpenter Lian,””You talk too much nonsense. I’ve already told you that you have to work harder for Yuan Zhou’s matters in the future. Take it.”

“Okay, master.” Ma Xiao, who had subconsciously listened to his master, immediately agreed.

Yuan Zhou passed the yellow rosewood box to Ma Xiao in a timely manner. Ma Xiao received the box carefully and didn’t even dare to use any force, as if he was afraid that the box would be broken by Yuan Zhou.

“Then in the future, I’ll look for you directly if I need anything.” Yuan Zhou said gently.

“No problem. In the future, your matters are my matters.” Ma Xiao said as he patted his chest.

“Whether it’s running errands or doing other things, I’ll definitely do a good job.” Ma Xiao promised seriously.

“Let’s go,” Seeing Ma Xiao’s endless nagging, Carpenter Lian immediately said.

“Alright, master.” Ma Xiao hurriedly took two steps forward.

“Master, Junior Brother, take care.” Yuan Zhou said goodbye to her.

“Yes.” Carpenter Lian nodded. He took the box and left with Ma Xiao.

“Next time, senior brother, if you need anything, you must find me.” MA Xiaolin did not forget to turn his head and remind them when he reached the door.

After seeing them off, Yuan Zhou also went back to his restaurant. He still had to clean up the table after the meal.

“There’s also a box that needs to be sent out as soon as possible. ” Yuan Zhou said inwardly.

That’s right. Yuan Zhou had made three boxes made of mortise and tenon by himself. He had given one to Yin ya as her birthday gift and given the other one to his master, Carpenter Lian. Now, there was only one left.

However, Yuan Zhou already had someone to give the last one to.

It was still early. When Yuan Zhou returned to the restaurant after tidying up the small table in the backyard, it was almost 9:00 pm. After washing his hands, Yuan Zhou intended to read a book for a while, but at that time, the phone in the drawer rang.

Ding Lingling, ding Lingling. The name displayed on the screen in his hand was Chairman Zhou.

“Chairman Zhou?” Yuan Zhou directly picked up the phone and answered the call.

“Uncle Zhou,” Yuan Zhou said.

“Little Yuan, are you done with your work?” Zhou Shijie’s kind voice came from the phone.

“I just finished.” Yuan Zhou said.

“How have you been?” Zhou Shijie asked.

“Very good. The business is very good, and my cooking skills are also very good.” Yuan Zhou said seriously.

“Haha, that’s good. I heard that you’ve been learning about Guizhou cuisine and GUI cuisine recently?” Zhou Shijie couldn’t help laughing when he heard Yuan Zhou’s answer.

“Yes, I want to learn more.” Yuan Zhou said.

“That’s a good thing. Do you know when you can come out the day after tomorrow? we can have tea together in the afternoon.” Zhou Shijie said slowly.

“Alright,” he said. Yuan Zhou agreed readily.

“Aren’t you going to ask me what’s going on?” Zhou Shijie scolded him with a smile.

“Then why is uncle Zhou looking for me?” Yuan Zhou asked readily.

“Forget it, forget it. I knew you were honest. You don’t have to ask. I’ll tell you myself.” Although Zhou Shijie sounded helpless, his tone was happy. He continued,””It’s naturally something good. ”

“Two days ago, a Qian cuisine master, Colin, came to our Chengdu. Do you know about this?” Zhou Shijie said.

“I know. He’s a master chef of Guizhou cuisine, one of the top ten chefs in China. He’s here for an exchange.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Yes, that’s him. I’m meeting him for tea in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. You should come too.” Zhou Shijie said with a smile.

“Is it convenient?” Yuan Zhou’s heart skipped a beat, but he still asked seriously.

Yuan Zhou clearly understood what Zhou Shijie meant. He wanted Yuan Zhou to meet master Colin as he had been studying the Guizhou cuisine recently. However, he still had to ask about it.

“Of course it’s convenient. I’ve already said it. You just have to come.” Zhou Shijie said.

“Then I’ll have to trouble uncle Zhou.” Yuan Zhou answered.

“Kid, don’t say such things.” Zhou Shijie warned.

“By the way, uncle Zhou, I was just about to look for you.” Yuan Zhou didn’t thank him much but just kept it in mind.

“What’s the matter?” Zhou Shijie had always been like this. As long as Yuan Zhou was looking for him, he would directly take charge of everything without asking anything.

“I want to see you tomorrow afternoon. Are you in the office?” Yuan Zhou asked.

The sound of paper being flipped came from Zhou Shijie’s side. After a while, Zhou Shijie opened his mouth.

“I’m here. I’m free for an hour in the afternoon. See when you can come.” Zhou Shijie said.

“Then I’ll come to you at threeo’ clock.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Sure. You can come up directly. I’ll ask Zhong Lili to wait for you at the door.” Zhou Shijie said.

“Alright. Rest early, uncle Zhou.” Yuan Zhou agreed and then started to say goodbye.

“See you tomorrow,” Zhou Shijie hung up the phone after saying that.

Zhou Shijie had just hung up the phone and hadn’t had time to think about why Yuan Zhou was looking for him when the phone rang again.

The words ‘old man Lian’ were jumping on the screen. Zhou Shijie scolded jokingly,””Why is it this old fellow? I wonder why he’s looking for me so late at night.”

Although he said that, Zhou Shijie still picked up the phone very quickly.

A few minutes after he answered the phone, Zhou Shijie’s angry roar came from the study room. It seemed that he regretted answering the phone very much. Moreover, this matter was related to Yuan Zhou.

Of course, Yuan Zhou didn’t know that. He was busy preparing the ingredients for the tea the day after tomorrow.

Although it was said to be tea, it was obvious that Zhou Shijie wanted him to have an exchange with the famous master chef of Guizhou cuisine. Since it was an exchange, it was natural that he had to speak with substance. This was good.

Yuan Zhou went upstairs quickly and then took out a thick book from the bookshelf in the room. The two big characters of Guizhou cuisine were written on the cover of the book in regular script.

“Hua La La”, he opened it and found that the notebook was already half-filled with Yuan Zhou’s notes.

“I should be able to bring this along.” Yuan Zhou flipped through the pages and muttered to himself.

That’s right. These were the notes that Yuan Zhou learned to make after he obtained the memory of all the cooking methods of Guizhou cuisine. Yuan Zhou would take down notes for every dish he cooked. This was a habit that he had formed since he opened his restaurant.

Other than the one for Cheng zhaomei, there were still more than a dozen of such notebooks left on the shelf. However, other than the ones for Qian and Dian cuisines that he had just obtained, the other notebooks were all filled to the brim, and there was more than one.

There were too many dishes in one cuisine. Therefore, all the bookshelves in Yuan Zhou’s room were emptied to put his notebook.
