Chapter 1265: Taking a step further
Yuan Zhou stopped at the stairway and didn’t go up immediately. Instead, he slightly closed his eyes and started to check.
[Two-year anniversary gift package] complete cuisines of Yun and GUI provinces (distributed and available to be received)
(Reward tips: all the cuisines of Yun province and GUI province, including the matching snacks. The system knows that the host is very grateful for the system’s generosity. No need to thank me.)
Yuan Zhou looked at the description of the reward in brackets and touched his forehead without saying anything. After all, the richness of the gift bag was indeed beyond his expectation.
To be honest, he had never thought of it even in his dreams.
“I didn’t expect you to be so generous one day. Since you said you don’t need to thank me, then I won’t thank you.” Yuan Zhou said.
The system displayed,”…”
The system didn’t answer. Yuan Zhou roughly checked the dishes and snacks to confirm the authenticity of the reward and then said again,””But system, I’m not used to you being so generous all of a sudden.”
That’s right. Yuan Zhou first received the dishes and confirmed their authenticity before he spoke. After all, it hadn’t been long since the system had scammed him. He had to be more cautious.
The system displayed,”this reward is a two-year anniversary gift bag.”
“Yeah, I’m really looking forward to the three-year anniversary gift bag now.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.
After saying that, Yuan Zhou walked up the stairs. He didn’t check the reward carefully. After all, there were still customers upstairs.
After Yuan Zhou went upstairs, the customers greeted him one by one and then went back to drinking and talking.
When the pub time was over, the customers left punctually.
After tidying up, Yuan Zhou also returned to his room upstairs. He walked to the window in a few steps and opened the curtain subconsciously.
When he looked downstairs, Yuan Zhou supported his forehead,””Shen Min’s foot hasn’t recovered yet.”
That’s right. Yuan Zhou prepared to see Shen Min off habitually. After all, he did this every night before.
Just when Yuan Zhou reacted and was about to put down the curtain in his hand, he saw the last bus that Shen Min often took stopped at the station.
“The car’s still there?” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself and didn’t draw the curtain down immediately.
Yuan Zhou was preparing to watch the bus leave. After all, as a senior OCD patient, he knew that the bus would drive away. Naturally, he had to watch the bus drive away before he felt good.
Two to three minutes later, the brightly lit but empty bus still did not leave. It stopped quietly at the bus stop.
“Oh.” Yuan Zhou touched his smooth chin and then drew down the curtain. After that, he turned around and went downstairs quickly.
This time, Yuan Zhou walked very fast. In just a little while, he directly opened the door and walked out.
When he went out, broth, who was lying at the door, raised its head and looked at Yuan Zhou. When it saw Yuan Zhou walking forward unceasingly, it also got up and followed behind him with light steps.
The Red Lanterns on the street of Taoxi road illuminated the ground. Yuan Zhou walked forward quickly while broth trotted behind him, as if it was protecting Yuan Zhou.
As he walked very fast, Yuan Zhou walked out of Taoxi road in a short while and came directly to the bus stop. The last bus was still waiting at the same place. The rumbling sound of the engine was particularly obvious on the quiet street.
Yuan Zhou walked directly to the front gate of the bus and looked inside. There was indeed no one in the bus, except for a fat middle-aged man in the bus company’s uniform who was sitting in the driver’s seat. He might have heard the footsteps and was looking outside.
However, when he saw it was Yuan Zhou, he revealed an obvious look of disappointment, worry, and puzzlement. Nevertheless, he still nodded to Yuan Zhou kindly.
However, Yuan Zhou didn’t intend to get on the bus. He just stood at the door of the restaurant while broth stood in the shadow and didn’t say anything.
Just when the bus driver was feeling a little strange, Yuan Zhou said,””Shen Min, that little girl who works the night shift is my employee. Recently, she was injured and didn’t go to work.”
Yuan Zhou had intended to say Shen Min’s name directly, but then he remembered that this master might not even know Shen Min’s name, so he just used the name “little girl” to refer to her. By saying that she was his employee, he could also show his identity and not let others worry.
“So that’s how it is.” The bus driver had a look of sudden realization on his face. The worry on his face disappeared, but he soon frowned again, obviously worried about his injury.
“She’s in the hospital for treatment. She just sprained her ankle a little, but she should be fine soon.” Yuan Zhou didn’t wait for the bus driver to ask and directly said.
“Okay, thank you, little brother.” The bus driver nodded to show that he understood.
After a nod, Yuan Zhou directly turned around and left.
The last bus left the moment Yuan Zhou got off the platform.
Yuan Zhou turned his head and took a look at it. Then, he turned his head back and continued walking back to the restaurant. Meanwhile, broth just followed behind him.
“You’re here too. There’s nothing to eat in the middle of the night.” Yuan Zhou lowered his head and said.
Broth raised its head and took a look at Yuan Zhou with its black and round eyes. There was obviously contempt in its eyes. Then, it lowered its head and continued walking.
“Tsk, you’re such a dog spirit. I said that you can’t become a spirit after the founding of the country.” Yuan Zhou got broth’s contempt and said discontentedly again.
Broth continued walking as if it hadn’t heard him. Yuan Zhou shrugged and said,””Alright, I’m a magnanimous person and will not hold it against you.”
After that, Yuan Zhou walked into the restaurant and then closed the door.
The moment the door closed, he said softly,””Good night, broth.”
Dogs had very sensitive hearing. They seemed to be able to hear and understand Yuan Zhou’s words. Staring at the closed door, broth whimpered twice and then lay down again like a guard.
Only after he went upstairs did Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief.
“Now, you can check out the reward of my cuisines.” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself.
As he wanted to check the reward, Yuan Zhou didn’t go to wash up immediately. He just sat at the desk by the window and started to check it with his eyes closed.
“All the dishes from two provinces. It seems that I will be busy again.” Yuan Zhou felt both annoyed and happy.
It was already a blessing for Yuan Zhou to be able to learn more dishes now.
“I should be able to learn a lot from the cuisines of these two provinces. After all, there are many ethnic minorities in these two provinces.” Yuan Zhou started to read the cuisines of Yun province first.
Yun cuisine was also known as Dian cuisine. Due to its diverse geographical environment and numerous ethnic minorities, it had a wide range of dishes and many flavors, especially the mountain delicacies and fresh water. Its taste characteristics were fresh and tender, fragrant and sweet, moderate sour and spiciness, slightly sour, spicy and slightly numb, paying attention to the original taste, crunchy, glutinous, heavy oil, cooked but not overcooked, tender but not raw, and thus was well-deserved to be famous.
Yunnan cuisine also included the famous cuisines of various ethnic minorities in the province, which were collectively called Yunnan cuisine.
Yuan Zhou looked at the Yunnan cuisine carefully and sighed with emotion,””If the system didn’t give me all the Yunnan cuisine at once, I don’t know how long it would take me to smoke the fragmented dishes or study them all.”
“The system is quite generous sometimes.” After Yuan Zhou roughly read the introduction of the Yunnan cuisine, he started to look at the expensive dishes, namely the Guizhou cuisine, before he even had time to look at the snacks.
There were also many explanations for Guizhou cuisine. In fact, the Kung Pao Chicken, which everyone thought was Sichuan cuisine, was also a famous qiansu cuisine.
Yuan Zhou read the introductions carefully one by one.
