2420 There's a lunch box
What the granny said next made Yuan Zhou realize that things weren’t as simple as he had thought.
Probably because Yuan Zhou had been mumbling to himself, the granny hurriedly added,””My daughter is in the hospital at Lihua Street, which is not far from here.”
Hospitalized? Yuan Zhou was a little sensitive to these two words. Although he had seen many sad and happy things, he didn’t want to hear that someone was seriously ill, even if it was a stranger.
“Due to special reasons, I really can’t cook by myself. I just want her to eat more comfortably and with more delicious dishes. They all say that the egg fried rice here is the best. Please, boss Yuan.”
As she spoke, she felt sad and cried silently. Her appearance of tears and her motherly heart would make anyone who saw it want to help.
There were indeed many rules in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, but now the ingredients could be brought out of the restaurant. However, the taste of each dish couldn’t be guaranteed. Therefore, he temporarily put the take-out out out of his plan as he always wanted to strive for perfection.
When he heard the old Granny’s request, he did want to refuse her at first. But after hearing the latter words, Yuan Zhou pondered for a while and decided to satisfy the love of an old mother for her daughter.
“Then please come with me, granny. We’ll wait in the restaurant. It takes time to cook fried rice.” Yuan Zhou said.
While saying that, he led the way and walked towards the front door of the restaurant. Apart from Yin ya, no one else had ever walked through the back door. It was also a rule. After all, this was a restaurant and not everyone could enter from the back door as they pleased. Otherwise, the customers would feel insecure.
“Next time, if you need me, you can come in from the main entrance. You don’t have to wait so long.” While leading the way, Yuan Zhou carefully told them the directions and also nagged a few more words.
As for the granny, perhaps because Yuan Zhou had agreed to her request just now, her expression wasn’t as sorrowful as before. Instead, she looked a little more relaxed. It was the relaxed state after her wish was fulfilled. When she heard Yuan Zhou’s words, she nodded her head quickly, indicating that she understood.
“Boss Yuan of this small restaurant is really a good person. The food he cooks must be very delicious. My daughter can probably eat more.” The old grandma felt a little bit of joy from the bottom of her heart.
After returning to the restaurant, Yuan Zhou informed Mao Ye who had already arrived and then went into the kitchen. He planned to stir-fry the egg fried rice of the granny first and then prepare to cook the food of the hotel.
Just when Yuan Zhou was busy, the granny took out a phone with a huge screen from the cloth bag with trembling hands. It looked a little old, but the owner must have cherished it very much, as could be seen from its appearance.
He gently pressed his finger on the screen to light it up. The screensaver was a middle-aged woman in her thirties or forties. She had Willow eyebrows and Phoenix eyes, and one could tell that she was quite charming. She must have been a rare beauty when she was young.
The old lady looked at the woman on the screen with warmth in her eyes. She touched the screen gently with her finger and then opened the phone.
Perhaps because it had been used for a long time, it opened very quickly even though it was slow. He even opened the WeChat payment interface, scanned the payment Code on the table, and transferred the money for the egg fried rice that he had inquired about earlier.
She knew that she had to pay for her meals. Ever since her daughter was hospitalized because of “that incident”, the old lady had been the one who held her phone. She had to pay for her meals, take her medicine, and take care of her. Now, she was very familiar with using her phone to pay for her meals.
Not long after the granny paid, Yuan Zhou came out with a small and delicate food container. In order to ensure the taste of the egg fried rice, he asked the system to provide a special food container to store the egg fried rice.
“Granny, you’re done,”
When Yuan Zhou saw the Granny’s actions, he knew that she was paying. He didn’t say anything more, neither saying that it was enough nor that it wasn’t enough. No matter how much it was, he would be responsible for it.
The old lady looked at the exquisite and beautiful food box and hesitated. After looking at it for a while, she made up her mind and reached out her hand to take it. “Boss Yuan, is this egg fried rice 188 RMB? how much does it cost plus the food container? I just transferred 188 RMB to you. Is it enough? how much more do you need?”
The old lady only knew the price of the egg fried rice, which she had inquired about before. However, it didn’t mean that she didn’t have a good eye and couldn’t tell that the food box was very expensive. She didn’t want to take advantage of others, so she naturally had to ask clearly.
“Every takeaway customer will have a food container like this to ensure the best taste. It’s not for you alone. Everyone knows that.” Yuan Zhou said quite earnestly.
He didn’t lie. The take-out service hadn’t been opened yet. However, no matter if he delivered take-out to Xiaoqing or Wu Hai, he had always used the same food container. There was nothing wrong with that.
“Argh! Good, good, good. It’s good as long as it tastes good. It’s really good. ” Hearing that everyone had one, the old lady instantly relaxed.
“I really have to thank you today, boss Yuan. Thank you so much.” The granny left after thanking Yuan Zhou repeatedly.
“It seems that this old lady must be a Great Mother who loves her daughter very much.” Yuan Zhou sighed with emotion.
Then, he went into the kitchen to prepare the sober-up set meal. After all, the guests had already arrived, and he couldn’t be any slower. He had to hurry up.
While Yuan Zhou was busy with the matters of the small pub, the granny carefully carried the food box and rushed to the hospital. It wasn’t far from the hospital and thus she arrived not long after.
There were not many people in the corridor, probably because it was a little late. When the old woman came back, she met two nurses on patrol. The two nurses smiled and greeted the old woman.
After the old lady greeted him warmly, they came to the door of a Ward.
Although it was a six-person Ward, there was only one person in it at the moment. The old lady pushed the door open and saw the woman lying on the bed.
Her face was Haggard, and her eyes were dull. Her wrist was so thin that it looked like it would break if she folded it. Her eyes were slightly closed, and the most eye-catching part of her body was probably her Willow-like eyebrows. They were still very dark, and it made her look even worse.
When he heard the door open, he raised his eyes slightly and saw the old lady coming in. He then lazily closed his eyes and didn’t have much of a reaction.
The old woman didn’t care. She walked into the ward with light steps. As she walked, she carried the food box carefully, afraid that it would not taste good if she jolted.
“Don’t you like a singer called Luo Xingyu the most? I went to ask for an autograph today, and he even wrote you a blessing. Do you want to take a look?” The old lady’s tone was obviously showing off.
However, the woman on the bed did not have much of a reaction. Of course, compared to just now, her reaction was still considered big. She got up from the bed and changed to lean against the head of the bed.
When the old woman saw her daughter’s reaction, her eyes flashed with joy. She felt that today’s fatigue had disappeared a lot in an instant. Immediately, she gently took out the album from the cloth bag and handed it to the woman’s hand. Then, she took the pillow from the side and stuffed it into the woman’s back waist so that she could sit more comfortably.
The woman didn’t have much of a reaction. She just touched the flamboyant handwriting with her hand, and a crystal-like light flashed in her eyes.
