Chapter 1005: A dog

Yuan Zhou was a little surprised to see the old man. Apart from the time when the old man waited for him, they had never met again.

This was the second time they met each other. Yuan Zhou didnt reveal any expression on his face and just walked over without stopping.

Zila. As usual, Yuan Zhou put down the paper bag and nodded to the old man as usual before preparing to leave.

Little boss Yuan, boss Yuan, can I call you that? The old man stopped Yuan Zhou hurriedly. However, the moment he opened his mouth, he called Yuan Zhou by the intimate name in his heart. Then, he immediately asked with embarra.s.sment.

Of course you can. Yuan Zhou didnt say much and just nodded his head.

Little boss Yuan, thank you for the meal. Its very delicious. Even my wife has been eating more recently. When the old man saw Yuan Zhou looking at him, he felt a little embarra.s.sed, but he still expressed his grat.i.tude seriously.

I didnt leave this for you. Yuan Zhou said indifferently.

However, the old man obviously knew that Yuan Zhou would say so. He just smiled and didnt refute him, but his eyes were still filled with grat.i.tude.

Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, felt a little embarra.s.sed and thus didnt say anything more.

I can tell that little boss Yuan likes dogs very much. The old man touched the cloth bag hanging on his left arm and said in a gentle voice.

What? Yuan Zhou was a little puzzled when he heard the old man.

Its broth raised by that little boss Yuan. His fur is l.u.s.trous. With one look, I can tell that little boss Yuan loves him very much. The old man laughed.

No, its a stray dog. I didnt raise it. Its the one whos begging and refusing to leave. Yuan Zhou explained primly.

Yuan Zhou said that very smoothly, because he had said it many times. Every time someone said that broth was his dog, he would say that.

Well, after all, chefs couldnt keep dogs. They had to be responsible for their diners.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou had never touched broth during working hours. To be exact, he had never touched broth before.

As if it knew something, broth never rubbed against Yuan Zhou or got close to him. Just like that, the dog and the human maintained a tacit understanding.

Little boss Yuan is so kind. The old man praised.

This time, even Yuan Zhou was a little embarra.s.sed by the praise and thus didnt say anything.

Heres the thing. Two days ago, a child abandoned his dog, saying that his leg was broken. Ive fixed it. The dog looks very good. Little boss Yuan, look. The old man seemed to be a little embarra.s.sed, and his words were a little incoherent.

But he still deftly took out the dog from the bag hanging on his left arm.

It was a mechanical dog with a silver sh.e.l.l, a pair of droopy ears, and black eyes that looked like broth s. The four legs of the dog could move and play at will.

It looked very cute and was something that a child would like.

Little boss Yuan, what do you think? The old mans eyes sparkled as he looked at Yuan Zhou with a perturbed expression.

Its very nice. Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

Its good that it looks good. Then Ill give it to little boss Yuan. This dog is clean. Ive washed it again. The old man heaved a sigh of relief before speaking in a serious manner.

Only then did Yuan Zhou notice that the old man was usually very clean, but the hands he used to pick up the trash and the shoes he walked in were very dirty.

However, the old mans hands were very clean today. Even the gaps between his fingernails were clean.

For me? Yuan Zhou didnt really react and thus said subconsciously.

The old mans reply was to push the silver dog forward.

Thank you, he said. Yuan Zhou received it with both hands and thanked him solemnly.

Youre welcome. I still have to thank little boss Yuan. The old man said happily.

I like it very much. Yuan Zhou took the dog and slightly moved its front legs before saying.

Hehe, its good that you like it, its good that you like it. The old man seemed even happier.

By the way, its getting late. Little boss Yuan, hurry up and do your own things. I cant hold you up any longer. The old man suddenly recalled that he had been dragging Yuan Zhou for a long time and thus said immediately.

En, youre taking your time. After a nod, Yuan Zhou turned around and left.

The old man looked at Yuan Zhou and didnt clear the trash immediately. Instead, Yuan Zhou walked away slowly and steadily.

Little boss Yuan really likes dogs. When the old man said this, his face was filled with joy.

With his sharp hearing, Yuan Zhou also heard that and revealed a smile on his face.

In a short while, Yuan Zhou walked to the back door of his restaurant and naturally pa.s.sed by broth.

Ta ta ta. Yuan Zhou turned a few steps backward and returned to the front of broth.

This is my new pet, silver. Yuan Zhou squatted down, picked up the silver mechanical dog and handed it to broth.

In case broth didnt know what it was, Yuan Zhou even barked twice considerately.

Whoosh. Broth instantly stood up and stared at the silver mechanical dog in front of it with its black eyes. Apparently, it could tell that it was a dog.

Its nice, right? Im not letting you play. Yuan Zhou shook the robot dog in his hand and said.

Woof! Broth cried out extremely loudly.

You want to play? I still wont let you play. Yuan Zhou shook his head.

Woof woof. Broth stretched its front legs and spread its back legs. It stood up, stared at the mechanical dog, and barked twice.

Youre a dog, youre playing with yourself. Yuan Zhou ignored broths seriousness.

Swish. Right at this moment, broth, who was about to bite someone, suddenly stretched out its right front paw and directly slapped the mechanical dog.

However, Yuan Zhou was faster and took it away.

I heard that dogs are jealous of their owners new pets. Broth, do you think that someone has stolen your position? Yuan Zhou said with a smile.

However, Yuan Zhou was disappointed. After he put away the robot dog, broths small head shook from side to side as if it was looking for something. When it didnt look at it, it immediately lay back down and ignored Yuan Zhou.

Naturally, he had no reaction to Yuan Zhous words.

Youre really a dog without perseverance. Arent you going to look for it? Yuan Zhou said.

However, this time, even broths eyes were closed. There was no expression on the dogs face, as if Yuan Zhou was an unreasonable kid.

Forget it. Ill send you broth later. When Yuan Zhou saw that broth really ignored him, he stood up and went back to the restaurant happily.

As soon as Yuan Zhou left, broth opened its eyes again. Looking at Yuan Zhous back happily, its black eyes seemed to say,Im afraid this two legged beast is not stupid.

Of course, Yuan Zhou didnt see it. Otherwise, he would doubt whether the rule of not being able to become a spirit after the founding of the Peoples Republic of China was fake or not.

On the other side, Yuan Zhou had already returned to his room on the second floor.

Hmm, it looks pretty good. Yuan Zhou took the mechanical dog and revealed a smile on his face.

Just like that, Yuan Zhou watched for quite a while before he reacted and walked to the window.

The mortises and tenons storage cabinet made by Carpenter Lian was placed there. It was a beautiful original wood color with clear grain lines that made it look tough and generous.

Just leave it here. Yuan Zhou pulled open a drawer. It was a used invitation card, one of which had the image of a woman drawn on it.

The mechanical dog was placed in another compartment at the side, while the pair of boxing gloves was placed in another drawer. Yuan Zhou was still thinking that he would tell the origin of these things to the children and then pa.s.s them down.

It would definitely be good.
