Chapter 1261: Wu Hai’s hand
“Zhi ya,” Yuan Zhou pushed open the door in front of him with both hands. The heavy red wooden door emitted a sound of wood rubbing.
As soon as the door was pushed open, it revealed the bright lights inside. The first thing that came into view was the screen that acted as a partition.
Under the illumination of the lamplight, the two people playing chess seemed to come alive. Wu Hai went up to take a look at them at once, while Yin ya just stood there and looked at the screen blankly.
“Ta ta ta.” Wu Hai quickly walked around the screen and carefully appreciated the ink wash painting on it.
“What a good drawing. It’s very beautiful. You can still see the expression on this person’s face from different angles. Each expression is different. What a good drawing.” Wu Hai sighed with admiration.
“It’s indeed very beautiful,” Yin ya also praised.
“I didn’t ask you to come here to admire the painting, I asked you to come here to eat.” Yuan Zhou said with an indifferent expression.
“Of course I’ll eat it, but this painting is also worth looking at. It’s good stuff.” Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and said quite seriously.
“We’re going up from here?” Yin ya came back to her senses quickly and asked while pointing at the wooden stairs behind the screen.
“We’ll go up from here,” Yuan Zhou nodded his head gently.
…
“Let’s go then. I can’t wait to eat the new dish. ” Yin ya said with a smile.
Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then took a step forward to lead the way.
The two of them walked around the screen and went up the wooden stairs. The stairs were wide and easy to walk on. The green bamboo on both sides were faint. Under the bright light, it made people feel like they were walking in the forest.
Due to the quiet and tranquil environment, Yin ya didn’t even have time to talk. She just looked at the surrounding scenery and went to renovate.
Speaking of which, boss Tong’s dry cleaning shop was only twice as large as Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, which was about 40 square meters in size. However, due to the spacious and empty decoration, it gave people a sense of spaciousness and brightness as soon as they walked in.
…
In addition to the lighting of the system, the planting of bamboo and the screens, it gave off a very quiet and elegant feeling.
After taking a small turn along the comfortable stairs, they could see a row of wooden railings. Two more steps up, they could see the large mahogany round table and the open kitchen.
On the left side of the second floor was a pond, in which a few fat koi were swimming happily. Red, white, and green Lotus flowers bloomed in the four corners of the house. The overall color was very harmonious and beautiful.
“This place is very beautiful. Is it specially for eating vegetarian food?” Yin ya followed Yuan Zhou step by step and asked.
“Yes, it’s specially used for vegetarian meals.” Yuan Zhou tilted his head and said affirmatively.
“Wait, what did you guys just say?” Having finished appreciating the painting, Wu Hai asked immediately when he faintly heard something about vegetables.
Yin ya blushed slightly and didn’t say anything. Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, looked at Wu Hai and said indifferently.
“You’re done admiring it?” Yuan Zhou said.
“No, but food is important too.” Wu Hai shook his head and said.
“Let’s go upstairs and sit. We can eat in a while. ” Yuan Zhou said.
“Didn’t I just hear you guys say something about vegetables? do you have a lot of vegetables today?” Wu Hai looked at Yuan Zhou suspiciously.
“You’ll know in a while. ” Yuan Zhou said rather mysteriously.
Although Wu Hai felt that something was wrong, he didn’t intend to leave. What a joke! It was so difficult for Yuan Zhou to treat him. Ever since they had known each other for so long, the number of times Yuan Zhou had treated him to a meal was less than the number of times on one hand.
Moreover, Wu Hai felt that no matter how much he cheated Yuan Zhou, the dishes were cooked by Yuan Zhou himself anyway, so there definitely wouldn’t be any problems.
With such a relaxed attitude, Wu Hai sat down at the seat closest to the kitchen at the round mahogany table. Yin ya pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything. Then, she directly sat opposite Wu Hai.
This was also the place where he could clearly see Yuan Zhou cooking.
Yuan Zhou walked into the kitchen naturally. After washing his hands first, he carried two light brown wooden basins in the shape of lotus leaves to the table.
“Please wash your hands first.” Yuan Zhou placed one basin for each of them and then said.
“Yin ya, you have cherry blossoms and lotus leaves, which have a light fragrance and can remove the peculiar smell. Wu Hai, you have lotus petals and lotus leaves, which can be tasted better after washing your hands.” Yuan Zhou made an introduction.
Yin ya looked at the wooden basin in front of her. As expected, the basin was half filled with clear water. Small pink flowers were floating in the water and there were several round lotus leaves floating on top of them.
“Hua la,” Yin ya reached her hand in gently and washed the hand cream on her hand carefully.
However, Wu Hai wasn’t so particular. He stretched out his clean and slender hand with fingertips that were soaked in different pigments and washed them.
Wu Hai’s hand was very much in line with the hand of a painter in people’s opinion. It was slender, fair and well-defined. However, his fingertips had a dark color, both on his fingertips and his nails, which looked a little dirty.
It wasn’t because Wu Hai didn’t like to be clean, but because he had been painting for too long. The color of the paint had already seeped into his flesh and couldn’t be washed away.
Naturally, Yuan Zhou knew that. After the two of them finished washing, Yuan Zhou carried the wooden basin back to the kitchen and started to prepare the cold dishes.
“We’re having a vegetarian banquet today. There are two cold dishes, four hot dishes, a snack, and a soup. There are eight dishes in total. According to your appetites, the taste and quantity of your dishes are slightly different.” While doing that, Yuan Zhou explained with a clear voice.
Of course, Yuan Zhou didn’t forget to wear a face mask. Therefore, his voice sounded a little muffled through the face mask. Nevertheless, both of them were listening to him carefully.
Although he was listening carefully, Wu Hai only paid attention to the number of dishes and didn’t pay attention to the word vegetarian at all.
“I can eat, I can eat a lot. Please have more.” Wu Hai said continuously.
“The portion is definitely enough for you. Although it’s my treat, I hope that both of you won’t have leftovers.” Yuan Zhou reminded him meaningfully.
“That’s impossible. ” Wu Hai waved his hand to indicate that it was impossible.
Yin ya was still smiling reservedly without saying anything. She was just waiting for Wu Hai to slap himself in the face.
Wu Hai was well-known for his love of meat. He had never even touched the vegetarian dishes in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.
“This time, we don’t use five essences at the banquet, but we don’t use eggs and milk. Do you eat eggs and milk?” Yuan Zhou continued.
“Eat, eat them all.” Wu Hai said anxiously.
“I won’t add egg and milk for mine.” Yin ya said unhurriedly.
Before Yuan Zhou could nod his head, Wu Hai said at the side,””The eggs and milk that she doesn’t eat can be added to my portion. I’ll eat them.”
Wu Hai was afraid that there wouldn’t be enough food.
Yuan Zhou didn’t pay attention to Wu Hai’s daily stupid behavior and just nodded his head at Yin ya.
When the three of them finished talking, Yuan Zhou’s first cold dish was also ready.
Carrying the tray, Yuan Zhou walked to the two of them quickly and directly handed the two dishes in the tray to them.
It was a rectangular piece of wood. It looked very old, and one could see rings of wood patterns. One could even see the dark brown bark on the bottom of the wood.
The top of the wooden plate was very flat. There were small golden mushrooms growing on it that looked like small trumpets. They were glistening with oil, and the back of the mushrooms was stained with finely cut green and red chili.
Although he knew that it was a dish, the most amazing thing was that the mushrooms seemed to grow on wood in the wild, which was quite wild and interesting.
“The first cold dish: chicken oil mushroom salad.” After Yuan Zhou served the dishes and said the name, he returned to the kitchen again.

[ps: I forgot to tell you yesterday. The noob cat only pulled out one tooth this time. However, perhaps due to its different physique, its recovery speed is very slow. It can’t eat much either, so you have to be careful when you pull out a tooth.]
ps2:”the noob cat finally understood why it was said that toothache was not an illness. When it hurts, it could kill.”
