Zuo Danqiu thought there was something wrong with her ears, or maybe the other party didn’t understand the situation? Otherwise, why would she hear that the reason why the chef of Jushanlou stopped her was just because she didn’t pay the bill?

She called up the invitation letter received on her personal terminal and showed it to Zhou Jinnan, and said politely: “I am a food reporter invited by Chef Zhou, this is my invitation letter.” Maybe this little chef Zhou didn’t know that she was invited and treated her as an ordinary diner? Zuo Danqiu thought that the few dishes she had just enjoyed were very delicious, so she had a good impression and admiration for the chef Zhou Jinnan who made these delicacies.

Zhou Jinnan glanced at Zuo Danqiu’s invitation letter and nodded. Just when Zuo Danqiu thought she could be let in, Zhou Jinnan spoke: “But it doesn’t say that you can order food for free in our restaurant.” The implication is that you are no different from other diners and still need to pay the bill…

Seeing his serious look, Zuo Danqiu could not help but start to doubt herself. She had received the invitation, right? Not only on Aquamarine Star, but also in the food world of the entire galaxy, when a newly opened restaurant sends an invitation to fellow executives and media reporters, isn’t it assumed to be free? Moreover, many times new restaurants need to send red envelopes to the media to imply that they hope the reports written by their media will be positive.

Zuo Danqiu asked herself, as the most famous beautiful writer and reporter on Aquamarine Star, if she did not receive the red envelope from Jushanlou, she could regard it as Jushanlou being stingy and having the confidence not to take these unorthodox ways, but no matter how stingy it is, it can’t be to the extent that a media person like her has to pay the bill, right? Has the chef Zhou in front of her become stupid after learning to cook?

Zuo Danqiu and the photographer ordered a total of seven dishes. Although the price was not cheap, she could still afford it. She was just dissatisfied with having to pay for something beyond her plan and being stopped in public and losing face. However, facing Zhou Jinnan’s very matter-of-fact look, Zuo Danqiu suddenly didn’t want to say anything. Speaking of which, this is the unspoken rule tacitly accepted by all people in the food industry. Everyone has done this in the past, but there is indeed no explicit rule…

Such a stingy weirdo suddenly appearing is really annoying… Zuo Danqiu’s good impression of Zhou Jinnan fell to the bottom because of Zhou Jinnan’s behavior. His cooking skills are very good, but he is too rude and stingy! Zuo Danqiu asserted in her heart. Seeing that everyone’s attention was focused on her, she couldn’t hold her face for a while, and just wanted to leave this place quickly. She quickly glanced at the bill handed over by Zhou Jinnan, paid the bill from her terminal, and fled impatiently.

Jushanlou, right? I’ll remember! Don’t even think about asking me to write an article for your restaurant in the future! Don’t even think about it! ! No matter how delicious the food in your restaurant is, don’t even think about it! ! !  Before leaving, Zuo Danqiu turned around and glared at the sign of Jushanlou, and made a vow in her heart.

Zhou Shudi also realized what was going on at this time. He had experienced how stingy Zhou Jinnan was during this period. However, when Zhou Shudi made the invitation, he had already assumed the habit in his heart, so he inevitably ignored this customary practice. Unexpectedly, Zhou Jinnan would remember everyone’s bills and even stopped the reporter to ask for payment.  When he wanted to explain to Zhou Jinnan, Zuo Danqiu had already paid the bill and left quickly.

“Jinnan, generally, people who are invited are assumed to be treated by the restaurant. You just…” In the kitchen, Zhou Shudi felt a chill on his back as he spoke, and he became less and less confident in looking at Zhou Jinnan.

 Zhou Jinnan said, “I don’t have any default rules here. Anyone who comes to my restaurant has to pay for the meal, and no one can be an exception.” Seeing Zhou Shudi’s eyes gradually wandering, he had a bad feeling in his heart, “Did you send invitations to other people?”

“Yes…”

“How many people?”

“About a few dozen or a hundred?”

… Zhou Jinnan’s mouth twitched: “Take them all back!” It’s terrible! He can’t stand so many people coming to eat a free meal!

“But they are all important figures and celebrities in the food industry of Aquamarine Star… They play a very important role in promoting the opening of Jushanlou…”

Zhou Jinnan tried to keep himself calm: “Dear father, I don’t allow the money I deserve to be missing a penny, understand?”

Zhou Shudi, who once again realized how stingy Zhou Jinnan was with money, keenly discovered the room for negotiation: “That is to say, if I only use my share to invite them, or I pay for their portion of your profit in advance, you can accept it?” The main owner of Jushanlou is Zhou Shudi. If Zhou Jinnan can agree with some flexibility, it would be great.

“I only care about my own share. I don’t worry about how to deal with your share, father.” Zhou Jinnan said. However, Zhou Shudi’s words also reminded him that when he opens his own private restaurant in the future, he will never actively invite anyone according to the conventions of the interstellar food industry!

 The incident caused by Zuo Danqiu was quickly forgotten by the diners in the restaurant. They were more concerned about the effect of the steamed knife fish Zhou Jinnan said could cure mental breakdown and improve mental potential. Some diners who were not short of money also ordered one. Whether their mental levels were high or low, they all felt the wonderful effect of this dish. Then they swept the fish meat on the plate like Tao Bo and the other two before, fearing that someone would come to snatch it from them.

On the Star Network, Zuo Danqiu’s live broadcast had closed when she left Jushanlou, but Zhou Jinnan’s words were still circulated in the live broadcast. When the audience heard Zhou Jinnan’s words, their first reaction was almost to disbelieve it. However, this effect was too incredible. Even if they didn’t believe it, the live broadcast soon attracted more people’s attention amid the discussions of netizens.

So, the live broadcast and the dish that Zhou Jinnan said could cure mental breakdown appeared for the first time and landed on the Star Network hot search topic list.

[It’s a lie, right? Even the scientists and pharmacists of the Capital Star Research Institute can’t solve the problem, but a dish can solve it? ]

[Attention-grabbing, sensational! ]

[What if it’s true? Isn’t the function of food to soothe mental power? In theory, the highest level of food can cure mental breakdown, right? ]

[I have sent this video to the Capital Star Food Association and the Supreme Research Institute. I hope someone can verify the authenticity of this live broadcast. ]

[Isn’t this Chef Zhou? Why did he suddenly become a hot search? ]

[Grab the front, do you know this chef who is talking nonsense? He said that the steamed fish he made can cure mental breakdown! It’s so funny! ]

[If mental breakdown can be cured by a young chef with just one dish, then did all those top chefs, scientists, pharmacists and doctors eat white rice? Why is mental breakdown recognized as the most terrible terminal illness now? Doesn’t he know? He doesn’t have any AC in his mind, and he doesn’t even follow the basic laws of logic when bragging? ]

[Don’t take sides, just wait and see rationally, but if it’s true, it will be a great thing for everyone in the interstellar. So many heroes and geniuses are tortured by mental breakdown. If it can really benefit them, even if the effect is not so magical, I will be happy. ]

[I hope to find a way to treat mental breakdown as soon as possible. My brother died of this disease.]

The hot search on the star network lasted less than two hours before disappearing, but no one knew that some people in the Gourmet Association and the Supreme Research Institute received a message after the hot search and quietly organized a joint expedition to the Aquamarine Star.

On Aquamarine Star, after two hours of trial operation, Jushanlou closed. Tao Bo was eager to confirm his guess, and he explained his situation clearly without waiting for Zhou Jinnan to ask. He is a soldier like Cui Mingxu, and his mental strength and physique are higher than Cui Mingxu’s level, but the higher level means that he is more likely to suffer a mental breakdown. When he was on a mission two months ago, Tao Bo found that his mental power was abnormal. As soon as the mission was over, he underwent a comprehensive examination under the arrangement of his family. There was a sign of mental collapse on the checklist, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Tao Bo thought he was sentenced to a suspended death penalty. He submitted an application for long-term leave to his superiors and did not receive comfort treatment. Instead, he took a long vacation until he was dragged to the Aquamarine Star by his two friends.

Zhou Jinnan found a seat and sat down without saying a word. After the restaurant closed, it suddenly became empty. Tao Bo and his friends realized that there was an acquaintance here: “Uncle Huo, why are you here?” How could Huo Xuan appear in this remote place? Shouldn’t he still be in the capital star now?

 “It’s similar to the purpose you stayed for.” Huo Xuan said, “Tao Bo, you’re lucky that you found this place.”
