After seeing the Grannys figure disappear around the corner, Yuan Zhou carried the basket and returned to the kitchen.

There are dandelions, shepherds purse, and even some Chinese cedar. We can add vegetables tonight. Yuan Zhou rummaged through the wild vegetables in the basket.

He carefully took them out one by one and placed them properly so that the fresh vegetables would not wither.

After packing up the wild vegetables, Yuan Zhou began to practice his knife skills.

Every year, Yuan Zhou would receive a lot of things. For example, the fruits from the grandpa and the meat from li Duxi.

The name Li Du XI might be unfamiliar to him, but he had come to challenge the dojo three years ago. As a beef supplier, he had used his own beef to challenge the dojo.

And then He was conquered by master chef Restaurant.

After that, li Duxi would send beef to Yuan Zhou.

Yuan Zhou didnt want to accept it at first, but li Duxi was a talented person, so he had to accept it.

Of course, Yuan Zhou would also return the favor, no matter if it was the jam or other things.

The morning was very short. Without practicing for a long time, it was time to prepare lunch.

As for those who didnt show up during lunchtime, Yuan Zhou planned to inform them of the dinner party after the business time ended.

It wasnt a big gathering, and it was just a small celebration of the Spring Festival, so it didnt need to be Grand.

If this news was spread out and people knew that the host was Yuan Zhou, perhaps even the entire Street of Taoxi road wouldnt be enough to hold the banquet.

The luckiest person was definitely Wu Yungui. This guy was always very coincidental. It was like this last time at The Cake House, and it was the same for the spring Banquet this time.

When lunchtime ended, Yuan Zhou called Zhou s.h.i.+jie and Cheng zhaomei to inform them. He even asked if master Lian was free. After knowing that, he could only give up.

I have to return the basket and prepare a little gift in return. After Yuan Zhou washed the basket, he directly hung it up to dry.

Mother-in-law seems to have a lot of feelings for the Yu Qian rice. Why dont you make some? Yuan Zhou thought for quite a while before he made the decision.

In fact, in the past, they only ate Yu Qian because they were poor during the famine years. In order to save food, they thought of a way to make food for their families. In order to make sure that their families were full, they cooked with Yu Qian. Basically, it was the work of a housewife. Of course, there were some families who didnt even let them eat their fill even if they had Yu Qian.

Yuan Zhou thought that what the granny kept in mind was probably the feelings she had for her back then. He was also clear about that in his heart.

Mother-in-law is getting on in years. I dont think its easy to digest traditional methods. I have to change. Yuan Zhou stroked his chin and said.

The traditional Yuqian rice was actually mixed with some cornmeal and white noodles. In some places, there was no white noodles, but black noodles could be mixed in. Of course, the taste was naturally different.

Yuan Zhou picked out some leaves that were especially fat and tried not to damage the leaves. After was.h.i.+ng them slowly, he put them aside to drain the water for later use.

In order to make the Elm seeds easier to digest, Yuan Zhou gave up the flour and cornmeal. Instead, he chose to grind the rice and millet into powder with a stone mill and then mix them well with the Elm seeds before steaming them.

During the steaming process, Yuan Zhou started to prepare the sauce. Although it was just a simple Yuqian rice, Yuan Zhou still prepared it meticulously and meticulously step by step.

The ingredients used for the Yuqian rice were simple and the cooking time was short. Although the rice and millet were ground again, it was still enough to be cooked in half an hour with Yuan Zhous speed.

After putting the rice into the lunchbox specially provided by the system and then putting the lunchbox into the basket, Yuan Zhou took it and went out, intending to send the basket back to the granny.

Although the granny was very resentful about Yuan Zhou giving her something more, she still had a very happy smile on her face. She said that Yuan Zhou went straight back to the restaurant after he handed the basket to the granny. Although it was a small-scale Spring Banquet, some wild vegetables still needed to be processed and pickled in advance. Therefore, Yuan Zhou was still very busy in the afternoon.

Soon, it was time for dinner.

There were as many people as usual. As expected, they saw the trio of Wu Hai, Zhou Xi, and Zheng Jiawei. Although Yuan Zhou had invited them to have dinner in the evening, under Wu Hais guidance, they didnt hesitate to enjoy the dinner first.

The meal later could be treated as supper without any problems.

After the dinner time pa.s.sed, Yin ya was the first one to arrive. However, as she was the host, she followed su Ruoyan to set up the restaurant as soon as she arrived. Although they were eating in the small courtyard, there was originally only one stone table in the small courtyard that needed to be rearranged.

Yin ya already had a lot of experience in setting up such an occasion. Therefore, with the help of su Ruoyan and Mao Ye who came later, she soon finished the arrangement.

Next, it was Cheng zhaomeis family. Master Cheng had planned to come alone so as not to add more burden to his master. However, he had brought the whole family with him after receiving the special request of his master.

As a direct disciple, Cheng zhaomei was naturally very familiar with the store. She didnt regard her as an outsider and began to help her masters wife decorate.

If it wasnt for the fact that the other registered disciples had their own matters to attend to and werent in Rong city, there would be even more people.

As for Wu Hai, he had originally planned to stay here after dinner, but he was persuaded to leave by Zheng Jiawei and Zhou Xi. As long as he had enough food, Wu Hai would be easy to talk to.

Next, w.a.n.g Hong, Wu Yungui and man man arrived one after another. Only when almost everyone had arrived did Wu Hai appear.

Sister Jiang, are you busy recently? Yin ya noticed Jiang Changxi at the first glance.

As a matter of fact, Jiang Changxi stood out among the group of men. Not only did she have a very strong mature and mature aura, but her delicate appearance and tall figure were also not to be ignored.

Today, Jiang Changxi even brought Zhou Jia along with her.

Sister Yin ya, long time no see. Zhou Jia directly went up and gave Yin ya a hug.

Well, Jiajia, long time no see. How has work been recently? Yin ya also felt very happy.

As the saying goes,three women make a show. Now, there were more than three women, including man man, Tang Xi, Cheng Han, and the others. Even a group of men didnt dare to mess with them.

A group of ladies and a group of men were chatting while eating the dried fruits, melon seeds and peanuts provided by Yuan Zhou and drinking the fruit juice. It was simply a pleasant scene.

The roses planted in the courtyard were in full bloom. Although the area was not large, the green gra.s.s and trees were in line with todays theme.

Wu Hai, what are you doing? Suddenly, w.a.n.g Hong turned his eyes and saw Wu Hai squatting by the Rose field. He was chewing something in his mouth and seemed to be holding something in his hand.

On hearing w.a.n.g Hongs voice, Wu Hais first reaction was to stuff all the food in his hand into his mouth and quickly chew twice. Feeling that everyones eyes were on him, he turned around unhurriedly,No, I just wanted to take a look at the flowers.

It was as if he had done something bad, but he didnt notice that there was some red juice on the side of his mouth when he spoke.

You actually stole something to eat. How is it? is it delicious? w.a.n.g Hongs eyesight was quite good, so he could tell at a glance.

Hehehe, I saw someone heat up the hotpot yesterday. I tried it today and it really does taste good. Wu Hai said.

Yin ya took a look and found four or five flowers were missing. These were the flowers that Yuan Zhou had specially planted for her. Although they were edible roses, Wu Hai was the only one who could eat them raw like this.
