When the bone soup, fresh meat shrimp wontons and crystal coconut osmanthus cake he ordered were served, the young man Qi Zhaohua was still mourning for his bleeding wallet. Just these two dishes actually cost more than two thousand and nearly three thousand star coins! 

However, after he ate the first wonton, all the regrets and heartaches disappeared. Qi Zhaohua only hated his poor language and expressive ability. Apart from saying that it was delicious, he didn’t know what words to use to praise this bowl of wontons. What the man said just now was right! It’s really not expensive to eat such delicious food for 888 yuan a bowl! 

He immediately reached out and asked the waiter to pack another portion of wontons, ready to take it away for his sister to try later. His sister had just been discharged from the hospital after surgery and was weak. No matter what dishes were cooked at home, she had no appetite. After a serious illness, she was almost out of shape. The food in this restaurant tastes so good. If he can make his sister have an appetite to eat more, he will accept it even if it is more expensive. 

 Qi Zhaohua ordered the crystal coconut osmanthus cake. All the dishes in this restaurant are not affordable. Qi Zhaohua gave up the cheapest red dates, white fungus and lotus seed soup considering his wallet’s affordability and taste. Of the ten dishes served today, except for the small wontons with fresh meat and shrimp in bone soup and the red dates, white fungus and lotus seed soup, the prices of the other ten dishes are all above one thousand star coins. The stir-fried Jinling vegetable, a pure vegetarian stir-fry, is sold for 3,888! The price of steamed knife fish is even more outrageous. 8,888 is enough for an ordinary person’s living expenses for a month in a place like the capital star with high consumption!

Moreover, with so many eights, the owner of this restaurant must love money… Qi Zhaohua swallowed the last small wonton and complained silently in his heart. The wonton skin is thin and the filling is rich. The fresh whole shrimp is elastic and smooth. The seaweed sprouts are very tender and fresh. The fragrance of the shrimp skin and a little bit of chives are washed away by the bone soup, which is the best comfort for the taste buds.

 He couldn’t help but look forward to the crystal coconut osmanthus cake that he hadn’t touched yet. The diamond-shaped cakes were layered, with clear layers of transparent and milky white. There were tiny and delicate fresh osmanthus flowers floating in the middle of the transparent layers. It was the first time that Qi Zhaohua saw Chinese desserts made more delicate and beautiful than Western desserts.

Qi Zhaohua tried the first piece. The soft and glutinous pastry was a mixture of the sweetness of glutinous rice flour and the sweetness of osmanthus honey as if people were in the fields of autumn harvest. The osmanthus forest beside the fields was filled with osmanthus fragrance with the breeze. He didn’t like sweets very much, but this dessert was fragrant and not greasy. He couldn’t help but eat one piece after another. In the end, waved his hand to let the robot pack another piece of osmanthus cake to take away.

He’ll bring it to his sister to try. If she likes it, he will bring her here tomorrow to try other dishes on the menu! The prices here are so high, he can also use this as an excuse to ask grandpa and dad for more pocket money! Qi Zhaohua made a little calculation in his mind. He was really smart!

 Although some customers were attracted later, the situation on the first day was still not optimistic. The wontons outside the door, as the main attraction of customers, sold the most, and there were still nearly half left, while those high-priced and seemingly unreasonable dishes were not popular.

Zhou Shudi had estimated the quantity of all the dishes in the restaurant in advance, and the consequence of the unsatisfactory trial operation results was that a large part of the prepared ingredients were not used up. Almost all the remaining wontons were wrapped and entered the stomach of the big eater, Prince. Although many of them were dry goods that could be preserved for a long time, some fresh ingredients could not be preserved, and their quality would be affected once they were left overnight. Zhou Shudi positioned Jushanlou as a high-end restaurant, and Zhou Jinnan was picky about cooking skills. They would not allow the restaurant to use such unqualified ingredients.

So before the trial operation started on the second day, Zhou Shudi cut a lot of food supply with the food supplier in advance. This decision made them quite flustered when facing the sudden surge in customer flow in front of the restaurant compared to yesterday when they opened the next day.

 “What’s going on? Why are there suddenly so many people waiting outside?” Zhou Jinnan and Zhou Shudi were both very puzzled. Although the restaurant’s dishes were highly praised by everyone who ate in the restaurant during the trial operation yesterday, Zhenxiu Pavilion was competing with them for business. Their restaurant’s prices were even higher than Zhenxiu Pavilion’s. In the eyes of customers who knew nothing, their competitiveness was naturally not as good as Zhenxiu Pavilion’s. The trial operation situation made Zhou Shudi ready to take the route of word-of-mouth and long-term success. Why did the number of customers suddenly increase so much today, and they all came directly to their restaurant?

A new customer kindly explained to Zhou Shudi. It turned out that a customer packed up their restaurant’s food yesterday and took it home. Unexpectedly, after eating the restaurant’s food, the customer’s frail sister’s complexion actually improved visibly. This shocked their parents, so they hurriedly took their child and the soup they had not finished to the hospital for examination and testing. The results showed that it was really the effect of food that made their daughter’s health improve. Although the degree of improvement was not obvious, long-term consumption was very beneficial to the patient and could even directly promote the patient’s recovery.

In addition to their family, there were many other patients and family members with similar conditions. After hearing the test results, these people couldn’t help but ask the family about the source of this delicacy, so they all came to know about this newly opened restaurant called Jushanlou on Bazhen Street. Through word of mouth, the effect of spiritual food was spread more and more mysteriously. These people couldn’t wait a second more and waited here in advance.

 As soon as the restaurant opened, the families of these patients rushed in with their own patients. Not only was the first floor occupied instantly, but many people were not able to get a seat and stood scattered in various spaces.

“Boss, don’t you have seats on the second floor of your store? Why is it not open?”

“Boss, give me a bowl of yesterday’s bone soup, and fresh meat and shrimp wontons!”

“Boss, is your food really helpful in helping patients recover?”…

Various voices came one after another, and the restaurant became particularly noisy for a while.

Zhou Jinnan was about to enter the kitchen at this time. When he heard someone order wontons, he said, “We aren’t serving wontons today. The limited supply of ten dishes is already written on the menu, and the price of our restaurant may not be affordable for everyone.” It’s not that he looked down on people, but after seeing the prices on the menu yesterday, many people left.

 “Why don’t you have wontons? We all came here for the wontons in your restaurant!”

“That’s right. If you don’t make wontons, wouldn’t we have come here for nothing?”

“Or can other delicacies in your restaurant have similar effects? Do you have any recommendations?”

Some people already knew the prices of Jushanlou in advance, and they were not surprised to hear Zhou Jinnan’s reminder. However, those who had not heard of it but followed because they heard that there was a delicacy that could help patients recover couldn’t help but exclaim when they saw the prices on the menu.

“Why are all the menu items here so expensive?!”

Zhou Jinnan was impatient to explain, and just said “because it’s worth the price” in a proud tone and went into the kitchen. The customers outside were shocked by Zhou Jinnan’s attitude. Some of them patiently pulled the service robot over to ask, while others just walked away.

When Min Ziqian, Cui Mingxu and Tao Bo came to Jushanlou together, they saw many people walking out of the restaurant because of the price.

“Hey, isn’t it time for dinner now? Why are so many people finished eating?” Tao Bo couldn’t help but wonder.

 A middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties passed by the three of them. After hearing Tao Bo’s doubts, she couldn’t help complaining: “What? We didn’t eat at all! The prices in this restaurant are too ridiculous. I might as well go to Zhenxiu Pavilion across the street.”

As soon as the middle-aged woman finished speaking, her words were immediately recognized by many people who came out with her: “That’s right, too ridiculous!” “They dare to sell a steamed fish dish for more than 8,000? Is their fish made of star coins?”

After hearing this, Tao Bo couldn’t help but hesitate and retreat: “Ziqian, Mingxu, are you sure we really want to eat here at noon today? How about we go to another place? “

“No,” Cui Mingxu quickly pulled Tao Bo to the Jushan Building, “Although the price of this restaurant is expensive, it is really worth the money. You will definitely not regret it!”

Min Ziqian also nodded in agreement with Cui Mingxu’s opinion: “Cui Zi is right, the taste of this restaurant is really good, and it will give you an unexpected surprise.” He touched the glazed orange bowl bought by Cui Mingxu, and he was sure that the chef of this restaurant had excellent skills. Hearing that Cui Mingxu was going to visit this restaurant during this trip, he arranged his own affairs without saying a word and followed.

That’s right, Cui Mingxu was lucky enough to win a lottery purchase quota of the eight-treasure gourd duck in one of Zhou Jinnan’s few live broadcasts! The glazed orange bowl was sent by Min Ziqian when he came to Cui Mingxu, so it was natural that Min Ziqian robbed one of them.

 Cui Mingxu, Min Ziqian and Tao Bo are childhood friends who grew up together. This time, Cui Mingxu finally got a vacation, and Tao Bo was also free, so Cui Mingxu and Min Ziqian decided to bring Tao Bo along.

After a wave of people left, a lot of seats were vacant in the lobby on the first floor. Cui Mingxu and his friends didn’t mind not having a private room, so they sat down directly at a window seat. Cui Mingxu looked at the menu, without even looking at the price, and started ordering dishes: “Steamed knife fish, garlic-flavored dry eel, Longjing shrimp, rock sugar lotus, rose cheese… Forget it, all the dishes on the menu.” This time he came here to eat to his heart’s content. Anyway, there were three of them, so they could definitely finish it.

 At this time, Qi Zhaohua brought his parents and sister Qi Zhaoshui to the Jushanlou. “This is it. The chef of this restaurant is really good at cooking. There should be no dish that can disappoint people.” When he said this, he remembered the young couple sitting next to him yesterday. The sweet and sour aroma of the sweet and sour yellow carp they ordered made Qi Zhaohua greedy. He must order this dish today! 

Zuo Danqiu and the photographer walked into the restaurant: “I wonder if the food in this restaurant is really that magical.” She clicked on the invitation letter received on her personal terminal, “It’s a pity that I went to Zhenxiu Pavilion yesterday, otherwise I could have written the article today.” 

Zuo Danqiu is a food reporter from the Aquamarine Star section of Star Network. Relying on her objective comments, beautiful appearance, and never-ending exploration of food on the Aquamarine Star, she has a reputation and influence in the food industry on Aquamarine Star. She is also one of the people in the food industry of the Aquamarine Star invited by Zhou Shudi.

In fact, she had not planned to come to Jushanlou until this morning. It was only when she heard the news that the food in Jushanlou could help patients recover that she decided to come over on the spur of the moment.
