1005 A dog

Yuan Zhou was a little surprised to see the old man. Apart from the time when the old man waited for him, they had never met again.

This was the second time they met each other. Yuan Zhou didn't reveal any expression on his face and just walked over without stopping.

"Zila." As usual, Yuan Zhou put down the paper bag and nodded to the old man as usual before preparing to leave.

"Little boss Yuan, boss Yuan, can I call you that?" The old man stopped Yuan Zhou hurriedly. However, the moment he opened his mouth, he called Yuan Zhou by the intimate name in his heart. Then, he immediately asked with embarrassment.

"Of course you can." Yuan Zhou didn't say much and just nodded his head.

"Little boss Yuan, thank you for the meal. It's very delicious. Even my wife has been eating more recently." When the old man saw Yuan Zhou looking at him, he felt a little embarrassed, but he still expressed his gratitude seriously.

"I didn't leave this for you." Yuan Zhou said indifferently.

However, the old man obviously knew that Yuan Zhou would say so. He just smiled and didn't refute him, but his eyes were still filled with gratitude.

Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed and thus didn't say anything more.

"I can tell that little boss Yuan likes dogs very much." The old man touched the cloth bag hanging on his left arm and said in a gentle voice.

"What?" Yuan Zhou was a little puzzled when he heard the old man.

"It's broth raised by that little boss Yuan. His fur is lustrous. With one look, I can tell that little boss Yuan loves him very much. " The old man laughed.

"No, it's a stray dog. I didn't raise it. It's the one who's begging and refusing to leave." Yuan Zhou explained primly.

Yuan Zhou said that very smoothly, because he had said it many times. Every time someone said that broth was his dog, he would say that.

Well, after all, chefs couldn't keep dogs. They had to be responsible for their diners.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou had never touched broth during working hours. To be exact, he had never touched broth before.

As if it knew something, broth never rubbed against Yuan Zhou or got close to him. Just like that, the dog and the human maintained a tacit understanding.

"Little boss Yuan is so kind." The old man praised.

This time, even Yuan Zhou was a little embarrassed by the praise and thus didn't say anything.

"Here's the thing. Two days ago, a child abandoned his dog, saying that his leg was broken. I've fixed it. The dog looks very good. Little boss Yuan, look. " The old man seemed to be a little embarrassed, and his words were a little incoherent.

But he still deftly took out the dog from the bag hanging on his left arm.

It was a mechanical dog with a silver shell, a pair of droopy ears, and black eyes that looked like broth 's. The four legs of the dog could move and play at will.

It looked very cute and was something that a child would like.

"Little boss Yuan, what do you think?" The old man's eyes sparkled as he looked at Yuan Zhou with a perturbed expression.

"It's very nice. " Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

"It's good that it looks good. Then I'll give it to little boss Yuan. This dog is clean. I've washed it again. " The old man heaved a sigh of relief before speaking in a serious manner.

Only then did Yuan Zhou notice that the old man was usually very clean, but the hands he used to pick up the trash and the shoes he walked in were very dirty.

However, the old man's hands were very clean today. Even the gaps between his fingernails were clean.

"For me?" Yuan Zhou didn't really react and thus said subconsciously.

The old man's reply was to push the silver dog forward.

"Thank you," he said. Yuan Zhou received it with both hands and thanked him solemnly.

"You're welcome. I still have to thank little boss Yuan. " The old man said happily.

"I like it very much." Yuan Zhou took the dog and slightly moved its front legs before saying.

"Hehe, it's good that you like it, it's good that you like it." The old man seemed even happier.

"By the way, it's getting late. Little boss Yuan, hurry up and do your own things. I can't hold you up any longer." The old man suddenly recalled that he had been dragging Yuan Zhou for a long time and thus said immediately.

"En, you're taking your time." After a nod, Yuan Zhou turned around and left.

The old man looked at Yuan Zhou and didn't clear the trash immediately. Instead, Yuan Zhou walked away slowly and steadily.

"Little boss Yuan really likes dogs." When the old man said this, his face was filled with joy.

With his sharp hearing, Yuan Zhou also heard that and revealed a smile on his face.

In a short while, Yuan Zhou walked to the back door of his restaurant and naturally passed by broth.

"Ta ta ta." Yuan Zhou turned a few steps backward and returned to the front of broth.

"This is my new pet, silver." Yuan Zhou squatted down, picked up the silver mechanical dog and handed it to broth.

In case broth didn't know what it was, Yuan Zhou even barked twice considerately.

"Whoosh." Broth instantly stood up and stared at the silver mechanical dog in front of it with its black eyes. Apparently, it could tell that it was a dog.

"It's nice, right? I'm not letting you play. " Yuan Zhou shook the robot dog in his hand and said.

"Woof!" Broth cried out extremely loudly.

"You want to play? I still won't let you play. " Yuan Zhou shook his head.

"Woof woof." Broth stretched its front legs and spread its back legs. It stood up, stared at the mechanical dog, and barked twice.

"You're a dog, you're playing with yourself. " Yuan Zhou ignored broth's seriousness.

"Swish." Right at this moment, broth, who was about to bite someone, suddenly stretched out its right front paw and directly slapped the mechanical dog.

However, Yuan Zhou was faster and took it away.

"I heard that dogs are jealous of their owners 'new pets. Broth, do you think that someone has stolen your position?" Yuan Zhou said with a smile.

However, Yuan Zhou was disappointed. After he put away the robot dog, broth's small head shook from side to side as if it was looking for something. When it didn't look at it, it immediately lay back down and ignored Yuan Zhou.

Naturally, he had no reaction to Yuan Zhou's words.

"You're really a dog without perseverance. Aren't you going to look for it?" Yuan Zhou said.

However, this time, even broth's eyes were closed. There was no expression on the dog's face, as if Yuan Zhou was an unreasonable kid.

"Forget it. I'll send you broth later." When Yuan Zhou saw that broth really ignored him, he stood up and went back to the restaurant happily.

As soon as Yuan Zhou left, broth opened its eyes again. Looking at Yuan Zhou's back happily, its black eyes seemed to say,""I'm afraid this two - legged beast is not stupid. "

Of course, Yuan Zhou didn't see it. Otherwise, he would doubt whether the rule of not being able to become a spirit after the founding of the People's Republic of China was fake or not.

On the other side, Yuan Zhou had already returned to his room on the second floor.

"Hmm, it looks pretty good." Yuan Zhou took the mechanical dog and revealed a smile on his face.

Just like that, Yuan Zhou watched for quite a while before he reacted and walked to the window.

The mortises and tenons storage cabinet made by Carpenter Lian was placed there. It was a beautiful original wood color with clear grain lines that made it look tough and generous.

"Just leave it here." Yuan Zhou pulled open a drawer. It was a used invitation card, one of which had the image of a woman drawn on it.

The mechanical dog was placed in another compartment at the side, while the pair of boxing gloves was placed in another drawer. Yuan Zhou was still thinking that he would tell the origin of these things to the children and then pass them down.

It would definitely be good.
