Yuan Zhou had just hung up the phone when he heard someone greeting him good evening again at the door.

"Good evening, boss Yuan," The person who came was the antique store owner, Zong mo.

Zong mo still had that unkempt appearance, wearing a brown short-sleeved shirt, a pair of loose shorts, and a pair of flip-flops on his feet. His hair was slightly long and curled, hanging down on his shoulders.

He didn't look very energetic, but his complexion was very good. His eyes were bright, and he raised a hand to greet them at the door.

"Good evening, boss Zong." Yuan Zhou also nodded his head and replied.

"Woof!" A crisp dog bark was heard. From the sound, one could tell that it was the voice of Zong Mo's purebred Husky.

This was because its voice was filled with panic. It was obvious that meaty was here.

"Boss Yuan, please wait a moment." After Zong mo finished speaking, he switched to holding the rope with his other hand and dragged the Husky towards a pillar at the side.

As they walked, Zong mo didn't forget to say,"I know you want to play with lots of meat and broth. I'll tie you up here. You can have fun on your own. I have something to do. I'll come and pick you up later."

After saying that, Zong mo completely ignored Romeo's resistance and directly tied it to a pillar at the side.

And meaty walked step by step closer to Romeo, while broth's head was resting on its wife's body, looking at the dog and cat with interest.

Because at this time, Romeo had already clamped his tail between his legs, and the whole dog was retreating, and the rope was taut, his whole body was exuding a refusal.

However, Zong mo squatted down and patted the meaty cat's head.""Have fun, just don't bully Romeo."

After saying that, Zong mo took a wooden box and walked towards Yuan Zhou's restaurant.

This time, Zong mo directly entered the door. Of course, before entering, Zong mo still wiped his hands clean and tidied up the dog fur on his body.

"Boss Yuan, sorry to bother you." Zong mo was still very polite when he spoke.

"No, I'm free now." Yuan Zhou shook his head.

"Haha, that's good." Zong mo smiled and placed the box on the partition before continuing,""This is an antique I recently acquired. I thought boss Yuan would definitely be interested in it, so I brought it here to show you."

"Oh? Thank you for your concern. " Yuan Zhou said.

"What's wrong with that? that's what I do. " Zong mo waved his hand and did not keep them in suspense. He directly reached out to open the box and revealed the contents inside.

The box wasn't big. It was squarish and slightly bigger than a book. When he opened it, there was indeed a yellowed ancient book inside. It looked like it had been there for a long time.

The words on the cover were arranged vertically. Yuan Zhou could vaguely recognize the two words "food" or "ingredients", which made his eyes light up.

"Is this a record of ingredients?" Yuan Zhou asked.

"It's not really that, because it's a book that records some of the top-grade ingredients that have been lost in our history." Zong Mo's words were a tongue twister.

However, Yuan Zhou immediately understood what Zong mo meant. Zong mo meant that this was indeed a book that recorded the ingredients, but what was recorded were the ingredients that existed in the previous era but no longer existed in the present.

Yuan Zhou was quite familiar with that. After all, the system always took out some lost ingredients. Therefore, Yuan Zhou was quite interested in it.

"Good book, does boss Zong sell it?" Yuan Zhou asked directly.

"Haha ..." Zong mo laughed. He originally wanted to say that he would give it to Yuan Zhou, but when he saw Yuan Zhou's serious expression and recalled the difficult experience he had when he gave the two Jade bottles to Yuan Zhou, he immediately changed his words,""Of course, I'm in this business,"

"I'm just looking for a suitable person for the antique. This thing is probably only worth a few years in other people's hands, but it can only play its role in boss Yuan's hands. " Zong mo continued.

"Yes, but you can't sell it at a cheap price. You have to sell it according to the market price." Yuan Zhou said solemnly.

Obviously, Yuan Zhou had also thought of the pair of Jade bottles that gave him hundreds of thousands of Yuan for free.

"Before we talk about the price, I have to tell you why this antique is so valuable." Zong mo didn't directly state his price and changed the topic.

Yuan Zhou nodded his head and listened to her seriously.

"The reason why this antique is worth collecting is that it has a certain research significance over time, as well as the significance of researching the history of the time. However, it is still considered a cultural relic." Zong mo explained.

"The other way is if it has been used by a famous person in history, such as Li Shimin, who used it before." Zong mo continued.

"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

"As for the book in front of us, it's a book about farming in the Song Dynasty. It's not supported by any famous people, and it doesn't have much research value, so it's not worth much." Zong mo changed the topic and said.

Yuan Zhou really didn't know anything about antiques. After all, different professions were worlds apart. However, when he heard what Zong mo said, he couldn't help but nod his head.

"That's why I originally wanted to give it to you as a gift. But since you don't want it, I'll just give you 2000 RMB. " Zong mo said in a carefree manner.

"Isn't 2000 too little?" Yuan Zhou frowned slightly, because this book was quite valuable for him to study.

"It's not a small amount. I didn't spend much when I collected it. " Zong mo said,"I just said that this book has to be sold to the right person. If I were to sell it to someone else, they might even complain that it's more than 2000 Yuan."

"Okay, cash or phone?" Yuan Zhou didn't hesitate much and asked directly.

"Anything is fine. Boss Yuan, just tell me which one is more convenient." Zong mo said.

"I'll transfer the money to you. " Yuan Zhou said.

"Alright," he said. Zong mo took out the payment Code of his phone. Yuan Zhou scanned it and paid 2000 Yuan.

"Chenghui, I have received the money. Thank you, boss Yuan. I started a business while walking a dog." Zong mo said with a smile.

"Boss Zong, please wait a moment, I'll return the box to you." Yuan Zhou didn't say much but just said.

"Alright, I'll sit for a while." Zong mo nodded his head and then sat on the high chair, watching Yuan Zhou carefully take the box to the second floor.

"Wait a moment." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then left.

"Boss Yuan is good in every way, but he is too serious. He is really worthy of being compass." Zong mo shook his head and sighed.

In fact, he had received this book and specially came to deliver it, but he didn't manage to deliver it, so he could only sell it at a low price.

Thinking about this, Zong mo couldn't help but think, "It's a good thing my eloquence isn't bad. "

That's right. Zong mo naturally thought that his words had convinced Yuan Zhou that this thing was not worth much.

Yuan Zhou indeed had no idea about the value of antiques, but he was never one to take advantage of others.

Although he wasn't clear about the specific value of this ancient book, it was still a very precious ancient book to Yuan Zhou. Therefore, he naturally wouldn't take advantage of it.

Therefore, as soon as he settled the ancient book, Yuan Zhou covered the box with a silk cloth again. Then, he went directly to the vegetarian banquet hall from the second floor and went down to the room that was specially used to place the cups and plates of the Four Seasons.

The whole room was filled with Hainan scented Rosewood. It was a little dazzling to look at. However, Yuan Zhou walked to a cubicle indifferently, where some leftover scented Rosewood was piled up.

Yuan Zhou carefully put on the gloves and put a lot of core sawdust of Hainan scented Rosewood into the box. After such sawdust was carefully ground, it could be directly used as incense.

Yuan Zhou had smelled the fragrance from Zong Mo's body and thus returned the greeting.

After packing the wood chips, Yuan Zhou closed the box and took off his gloves before starting to walk back.

Naturally, Yuan Zhou went back the same way he came this time. When Yuan Zhou came down from upstairs, Zong mo had already been waiting in the restaurant for six to seven minutes.

Zong mo did not feel that it would take a long time. After all, storing ancient books naturally required time.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Yuan Zhou pushed the box in front of Zong mo.

"Not long, not long." Zong mo shook his head.

While saying that, Zong mo was about to pick up the wooden box on the partition when Yuan Zhou said again,""Thank you, boss Zong, for the ancient book. It's very useful to me, so I've prepared a small gift in return."

"Eh? Is it something to eat?" Zong mo said as he looked at the box with interest.

"Cough, no," Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of Wu Hai at that moment.

After all, who would use a box that had just contained an ancient book to store food? that was too unrefined.

"I've told you that I didn't spend much money on this ancient book when I received it. Boss Yuan, you don't have to be so polite. " Zong mo asked with his eyes if he could open the box as he spoke.

Yuan Zhou nodded his head silently and didn't answer.

"Pa da." The box was in a normal clasp form, so Zong mo opened it without any effort and immediately closed it with a bang.

"Hey, What's this? This thing is too good, and the taste is really pure. This must be old yellow Rosewood. " Zong mo looked at Yuan Zhou with surprise and disbelief.

"Yeah, I'll make the rest of the wooden frame." Yuan Zhou specifically explained.

What Yuan Zhou meant by that was that to him, it was just a leftover and not worth anything. However, when Zong mo heard that, he felt his stomach ache.

It was true that Zong mo was a businessman who opened an antique shop, but he also liked to be artsy and loved incense. This incense had a slight connection with wood, so he could tell with a glance that it was not the pure fragrance of Hainan scented Rosewood, but rather an extremely old wood with a core that had such a good smell.

When he heard Yuan Zhou say that it was leftover from cooking, Zong mo felt that he really had a stomachache. It should be known that there wasn't much of Hainan scented Rosewood left in the world to begin with, yet there was still so much wood shavings left after cooking.

"Boss Yuan, you are really rich." Zong mo swallowed his saliva and could only say in admiration.

Yuan Zhou didn't answer him. He paused for a while and then said,"You can do whatever you want. Thank you for your ancient books."

"Boss Yuan, you're too polite. My ancient book isn't worth this price." Zong mo slightly pushed the box and said.

"Everything has to be in the right person's hands to be useful, and this is just the wood shavings left over from the bowl rack I made." Yuan Zhou said solemnly.

"Okay. I won't stand on ceremony then. Next time when I receive such ancient books, I will send them to you again. But you can't pay me." When Zong mo heard the word 'bowl rack', he was silent for a while before he made up his mind and said seriously.

"Alright," he said. Yuan Zhou considered for quite a while and then nodded his head.

"Then I won't bother you anymore. See you tomorrow." Zong mo carefully picked up the box and waved his hand at Yuan Zhou before walking out of the restaurant.

"See you tomorrow," Yuan Zhou nodded his head and watched him walk out of the restaurant.

As Zong mo walked out of the shop, his heart ached for the bowl rack, but at the same time, he was happy to have received the wood shavings from the yellow Rosewood. He simply couldn't be too conflicted.

"This is a Grand Design. Old Wood's bowl rack is made from Hainan scented Rosewood. It seems like I'm still too small-minded." Zong mo held the dog in one hand and hugged the box in the other, his heart unable to stop sighing.

That's right. When Zong mo thought of Yuan Zhou's nonchalant manner when he talked about the bowl rack, he felt that he was stingy.

"I hope my Jade bottle isn't placed on that shelf. Otherwise, I'll really be letting down that shelf." Zong mo silently thought to himself before slowly walking back to the shop.

On the other side, Yuan Zhou didn't think so much. After he saw them leave, he directly went upstairs and held back his desire to read the ancient books. He first arranged the teaching procedures for the next two days.

Yuan Zhou had always been like this. He would have his own clear plan for everything. Of course, this was also a good habit formed after he got the system.

After making the plan, Yuan Zhou read the comprehensive record of Guizhou cuisine for a while. After Mao Ye closed the pub and watched her take the last bus, Yuan Zhou read for a while more and then lay down to rest after saying goodnight to Yin ya.

The next day, Yuan Zhou got up as usual when the sky was hazy. He washed up and changed into his sportswear before going downstairs to exercise.

As he had made an appointment with Kosen to give guidance in the afternoon, the appointment of red wine with Yin ya every afternoon could only be changed to the evening.

Everything in Yuan Zhou's restaurant today was naturally going smoothly. Breakfast and lunch went by without a hitch. After lunch, Yuan Zhou went upstairs and washed up. After he changed his clothes, he went downstairs and saw Kosen standing at the door.

Kosen was wearing a formal white chef's uniform with a hat on his head. His body was white and clean, as if he was ready to cook at any time.

The sun outside was scorching hot, but Kosen stood at the door obediently, standing under the sunlight.

"Come in," Yuan Zhou said.

"Alright, head chef Yuan." "Yes, sir!" Kosen immediately responded and walked into the shop.

After entering the restaurant, Kosen stood with his back straight as usual and his hands tightly pressed against his trouser legs. He slightly lowered his head and appeared very reserved.

"No need to be so formal." Yuan Zhou opened the partition and walked out.

"OK, head chef Yuan," "Yes." Kosen nodded, but it was obvious that he still could not let go and looked nervous.

This time, Yuan Zhou didn't say much. He just walked to the door of the Sergestes wall landscape and opened it. Then, he said while walking inside with the others,""Let's go to the backyard. There's a simple kitchen there. "

"Thank you, head chef Yuan." Said Kosen.

"It's no trouble at all. You deserve this. " Yuan Zhou said.

"Head chef Yuan, thank you for your hard work." Kosen said again.

"You don't have to be so polite. Your father, master Colin, and I are friends. So, if you have any questions, just ask." Yuan Zhou said with a mild tone.

As soon as Yuan Zhou mentioned about his father, Kohen, he immediately became less nervous and said.

"Yes, my dad always tells me about this. He says that head chef Yuan is very amazing and that you know more about Guizhou cuisine than him." Said Kosen.

"Master Colin is too humble. My understanding of the Guizhou cuisine should be similar to his." Yuan Zhou shook his head and said.

"Then you're very good. After all, you know Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Yunnan cuisine, and so on." Kosen said in admiration.

"To learn cooking, you must constantly study it." Yuan Zhou said.

"Head chef Yuan is right," Kosen nodded.

"Yes, this is the place. Sit down." Yuan Zhou brought Kosen to the kitchen in the courtyard and then said.

This place was also the place where master Cheng finished his apprenticeship examination. Ever since it was built, Yuan Zhou had not demolished it. In this way, he could have a simple place to communicate with master Cheng.
