Being a stranger in a foreign land, he missed his family during festivals.

When it came to the most lively Festival of the year, the Spring Festival, many people would choose to have a family reunion. There were more holidays during the spring Festival. After a year of hard work, even if one was useless for a year, they should take a break.

Of course, there were still many jobs that needed people. Many people chose to spend the new year there. Even though the number of diners in master chef Restaurant had decreased by almost half, it was still full. However, it was a little easier to eat than usual.

If he had come two minutes later, he would not have been able to get in line normally. However, during the new year, especially before the third year of junior high, he could still get in line to eat delicious food.

Many people were usually busy with work and could finish their work at 11 O’ clock. However, those who needed more than ten minutes to rush over would usually choose to come for a few meals during the new year. According to this schedule, they would definitely be able to make it in time. Usually, it was up to luck and character.

Gu Wei was one of them. He was a railway worker and had a train until 11 O’ clock. It would take 20 minutes to get from the train station to Taoxi road, which was close to the time for lunch. Occasionally, there would be a traffic jam, which would take even longer.

Therefore, even though this shift was the most likely for Gu Wei to eat at the restaurant, he had only been there twice. Once, he did not make it in time. The second time, he could only get a reserved ticket for dinner. However, he had to go to work at night and did not come to eat during working hours. He did come here twice when he was on vacation.

Since last year, Gu Wei had been taking shifts with others during the spring Festival and ended work at 11 O’ clock so that he could eat the dishes of master chef Restaurant.

Since it was the new year, he had to treat himself better. He had to come to master chef Restaurant for two meals. Gu Wei said that this demand could be satisfied, and it would be satisfied with the small amount of money in his small Treasury.

Of course, the small gold vault was built under the supervision of his wife. It was to raise funds for eating at the restaurant. It was not considered a private stash. At least, he did not have to worry about having durians or keyboards to serve him after he found out.

“Wife, I’m almost there. Look, Taoxi road is so lively even during the new year. How are you doing there? you should eat something good for lunch today.”

Gu Wei took out his mobile phone and scanned the bustling scene on Taoxi road. Then, he turned the camera back to himself. He had to let his wife remember his handsome face so that she would not be dazzled by the flowers and plants outside.

Secretly, Gu Wei tried to scheme. He expressed that his wife was as beautiful as a flower and must be protected well.

“Alright, go ahead then. Take good care of the money in your own vault and eat as many meals as you can. You can’t add anything else.” A slightly neutral voice came from the other side. It was Gu Wei’s wife.

In fact, Gu Wei’s wife could fight two people at the same time without any pressure. It was not because she looked burly, but because she was a train policeman who specialized in traveling on trains. Compared with Gu Wei’s fixed location in Chengdu, his wife could travel back and forth between Chengdu and Jin province, their hometown.

This time, Gu Wei was able to come to the restaurant for a meal because his wife had gone back to Jin province with the car yesterday. Otherwise, he would definitely have to cook for his wife. To put it nicely, if you want to capture a person’s heart, you have to capture a person’s stomach first. Moreover, he felt that his wife had chosen him because he was the best at cooking.

“I wonder when boss Yuan’s restaurant will serve Jin cuisine. In that case, I can learn a few more dishes to cook for my wife. Today, I have to eat that five colored beef tenderloin again. After eating it this time, I should be able to make 20% of the taste.” Gu Wei muttered.

Gu Wei wasn’t a professional chef. He just wanted to make more delicious food for his wife to nourish her body. Therefore, when he had time to come to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, he would at least make one simple dish. He would be very happy if he could restore one or two parts of the taste just by looking at Yuan Zhou’s cooking and eating the taste.

Yuan Zhou’s 1 or 2 points could be compared with the head chef of an ordinary restaurant. Therefore, it wasn’t considered shabby and was quite delicious.

Of course, since Gu Wei and his wife were not professional food critics, they only got one to two points and three to four points based on their own judgment standards. They did not have to worry about these details.

Recently, Gu Wei had chosen the more difficult five-colored beef sirloin, but he had eaten it three or four times, and he had done it secretly behind his wife’s back. He wanted to give her a surprise. He used to learn how to cook vegetarian dishes, but this was the first meat dish he had learned. It was worthy of remembrance and Grand treatment.

When he arrived at master chef Restaurant, it was almost time to line up. Gu Wei took a careful look and found that only one-third of the customers were here. He was instantly relieved as he could indeed start to eat at this time.

When the time to line up was up, Gu Wei worked hard and tried his best to get a better position.

As long as you were fast enough and had a cool posture, you could be at the front of the line even if you arrived a second before the time was up. The condition was that there should be no jostling, trampling, or other phenomena. Otherwise, the queuing Committee would definitely come to find you.

Even during the spring Festival, as long as Yuan Zhou didn’t rest, there would still be people from the queuing Committee staying behind. However, this competition of speed could only be carried out in a small range, because many people had queued up voluntarily and waited there. Therefore, they definitely couldn’t cut the queue.

“It’s time for lunch. The first 18 customers, please come in for your meal. ”

Since su Ruoyan was on holiday, this job fell to Yuan Zhou himself. However, it was the same every year and he had already gotten used to it. After he said that, he waited for everyone to enter the restaurant and then began to let them write the menu.

After he finished writing, he would hand it to the kitchen. It was a routine operation in the restaurant. He was a mature customer and could do many things by himself.

Gu Wei did not manage to get the first position because he did not come here very often, only a few times a year. He was not familiar with his movements and fell to the second position. The waiting time was very torturous, especially the pictures that his wife had sent him. They were all pictures of her lunch at noon. The familiar taste of her hometown seemed to be able to be smelled through the screen. He followed Gu Wei’s instructions to eat good food.

His wife had even dubbed each picture, not for anything else, but for the feeling she felt when she ate the dishes. There was not much variety in the words, just that they were delicious or tender. But for Gu Wei, who was waiting outside the restaurant with a hungry stomach, this was a great test.

He missed his wife and missed the dishes from his hometown. He felt wronged, but Gu Wei felt sorry for him if he didn’t say it.

Soon, Gu Wei had no time to think about anything else, because it was his turn to enter the restaurant.

“Phew …”

Exhaling, Gu Wei walked into the restaurant with his head held high and his chest puffed out. He sat down at the last seat at the bar counter and wrote down the must-eat dish of the day on a piece of paper. Then, he opened the menu and planned to write another dish.
