Chapter 2274
Of course, Yin ya, who had just gotten off the plane, didn’t really understand Yuan Zhou’s good intentions. She just breathed in the familiar air and stepped on the ground, feeling very steady in her heart.
This was probably what Chinese people meant. The moon was the plot of their hometown. This principle had existed since ancient times. It was not strange for Yin ya to have such a feeling.
Jin min, who had once gone to watch Yuan Zhou’s competition with Yin ya, looked around the moment she walked out of the airport lobby, but she didn’t find anyone.
historical
“Why didn’t your boss Yuan come to pick you up?” Jin min elbowed Yin ya’s arm with curiosity.
The main reason was that she was really shocked when she saw Yuan Zhou cooking with her own eyes at the competition site. Especially when he was facing those European chefs, his calm and composed manner made Jin min, who was also a Chinese, feel honored.
Although they worked in the same company before, they started to get in touch with each other after Yin ya was promoted. However, because they were in different departments, they were not very familiar with each other. However, this business trip had brought the relationship between the two girls closer.
Sometimes, the friendship between girls was very strange. Maybe it was because they had walked the same road that they felt like they hit it off.
Although Jin min had a small and delicate appearance and looked more like a loli than Yin ya, as the assistant head of the sales department, Jin min was still very capable.
“I was still thinking if I could get a free meal.” Jin min had never been to master chef Restaurant before. After all, she had spent almost all her free time improving herself.
Jin min didn’t want to get married, so she had to earn enough money to live a life in her later years before she turned forty. This was also the reason why she worked so hard.
It was absolutely necessary to spend time queuing up for food. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the time to read a few more books?
However, after watching Yuan Zhou’s competition this time, Jin min’s opinion had changed a little. Head chef Yuan’s food was indeed worth reading while waiting in line.
“Ahem, I didn’t tell him the flight time. He’s usually very busy, so it’s good for him to rest more when he has time. Besides, I have to go back to the company to finish the reports first. I’ll go to the store to take a look after I’m done.” Yin ya slightly lowered her head and said with embarrassment.
......
“Are you planning to feed me dog food the moment you come back? I just had my in-flight meal, so I’m not hungry. ” Jin min coldly refused.
“Hahaha, are you going back to the company first?” Yin ya said.
“The director who led the team previously said that some of them will go back first, while the rest will return to the company to deal with the follow-up matters.” Jin min said.
Yin ya patted her own forehead and said,”I forgot. There’s been too many things going on recently.”
It was the absolute principle to be in charge of politics. Ordinary employees could go home after returning from their business trips, and there was no room for them to play. However, the leaders were different. They had their own things to do.
Therefore, the group of more than ten people directly split into two groups and left at the airport. In one group, there were five or six people including Yin ya, who were all the middle and senior management of the company.
Of course, the company had arranged for someone to pick them up, which was also very humane. This was also another reason why Yin ya didn’t tell Yuan Zhou.
“Creak!”
When the brakes were stepped on, an ear-piercing sound was heard. The business car stopped steadily at the entrance of the company. Yin ya was sitting at the seat beside the door, so she opened the door and got off the car first to make room for the people inside.
As soon as she got off the car, Yin ya was stunned. She saw a familiar figure not far away.
Yuan Zhou had noticed this car long ago. He reckoned it was probably Yin ya and the others. Therefore, he walked out from the corner of the building and stood at a conspicuous position, although the huge food container he was carrying was already conspicuous enough.
As expected, the first one to come down was Yin ya. Seeing Yin ya arrive safely, Yuan Zhou’s slightly worried heart was finally relieved.
“Welcome back, Xiao Ya. Are you feeling hot?” Yuan Zhou walked up a few steps and hugged Yin ya gently with one hand.
The weather in Lyon was quite different from that in Chengdu these days, especially in Chengdu, where the temperature had been very high recently. Today was also the time of mild summer, so Yuan Zhou was naturally afraid that Yin ya wouldn’t be able to get used to it.
At this time, Yin ya finally came to her senses and said in surprise,”Blockhead, why are you here? and this food box?”
At the sight of the huge food container, Yin ya’s first reaction wasn’t disgust, but saliva. It was a physiological reaction for her to be unable to swallow the food that she had been eating outside for a long time.
it wasn’t that the food served in the hotel wasn’t delicious. it was mainly because he was used to being picky with yuan zhou’s food.
“it’s hot today, so i’ve prepared some things for you to relieve the heat and detoxify. you can try them. i’ve brought a lot, so you can share them with your colleagues.” yuan zhou looked at the five people behind yin ya and said.
as he spoke, he opened the lid of the lunchbox to reveal the contents of the first layer. it was a dark green color, and the exquisite appearance was in the shape of small green buns.
probably because they had been steamed, the color was darker and the wrinkles were obvious. they were bigger than ordinary xiaolongbao, but they could not be compared to the size of a normal bun. under each bun was a layer of green leaves with a darker color.
upon closer inspection, one would notice that apart from the wrinkles, there were also some vein-like marks on the bun, which looked like leaves.
it was because of the thermal food container. after yuan zhou opened the lid, it was still steaming. however, as it was a fresh green color, it didn’t seem to be very hot.
a burst of natural fragrance mixed with the fragrance of flour assailed their nostrils. not only yin ya, but also several people who got off the car a few steps behind her smelled it.
“gulp, gulp”
the stomach did not understand its owner’s hard work at all. when it smelled the fragrance, it naturally sent out a signal to urge its owner to eat, which was embarrassing.
“everyone can come and try it together. it’s just some mulberry leaf buns that aren’t worth mentioning.” yuan zhou broke the silence first.
he was here to make yin ya proud, so he would naturally seize the opportunity.
“exactly. everyone, come and have a taste. yuan zhou’s craftsmanship is quite good.” yin ya also said hurriedly.
jin min and the others looked at each other. the aroma was too tempting, and they couldn’t help but walk over.
this time, the exquisite bun fell into everyone’s eyes.
“this bun is too exquisitely made. it’s made of mulberry leaves. can mulberry leaves be used to make buns?” jin min asked curiously.
“It’s normal for head chef Yuan’s dishes to be different from the usual ones.” Director Wang, who was leading the team, said.
“Do you still have any questions about boss Yuan’s excellent culinary skills? I’m sure there isn ‘t. ” Secretary li chimed in.
When people invited you to eat, you would have to politely say a few nice words. What they said was the truth. They had never seen such exquisite buns before. The natural vein-like patterns on the smooth skin of the bun were already amazing enough, let alone the folds.
“You can eat it directly with the leaves.”
Yuan Zhou directly reached his left hand into the steamed bun and casually wrapped around the leaves that were under the steamed bun. Then, he took the steamed bun out together with the leaves. He didn’t touch the skin of the steamed bun at all and it was very clean and hygienic.
After taking it out, Yuan Zhou directly handed it to Yin ya beside him,””Little ya, try it.”
Yin ya received it with a faint smile but didn’t start to eat first. However, with Yuan Zhou’s demonstration, the others all took out the steamed buns with the leaves smoothly, even though their movements weren’t up to standard.
As they got closer, the fragrance became stronger. The fragrance of the grass and the wheat mixed together, making people drool.
