Zuo Danqiu heard this news from her sick uncle. She came here with a skeptical attitude. She hadn’t written anything new in her food column for a long time, and she wanted to see if she could find some inspiration here. She had been to Zhou Shudi’s previous Zhudao Restaurant before, and the food tasted good. It was at the level of an excellent level 5 chef, but that was all.

Cui Mingxu and the other two ordered every dish, which soon attracted the attention of others. They all had a menu of Jushanlou in front of them. During the trial operation, only ten dishes were served every day, but the total cost was tens of thousands of star coins. These young people were really willing to spend!

They were also very curious, especially about the steamed knife fish, which was so expensive that no one cared about it.  They didn’t know what’s so special about it. Among the people present, except Zhou Shudi, only Qin Kai had eaten this dish and knew its beauty. Even Huo Xuan had never had the opportunity to taste it. As a dish that is extremely beneficial to mental strength, Zhou Jinnan would make a portion for Qin Kai from time to time. Huo Xuan only knew that this dish was good for mental strength, but he was not clear about its specific effect. Its effect was the reason why Zhou Jinnan and Zhou Shudi positioned it as the only signature dish that would not be changed within a week of trial operation.

Although they did not expect that someone would order this dish so soon, Zhou Jinnan and Zhou Shudi knew very well that as long as the effect of this spiritual food dish was spread, even if the price was doubled, there would be people flocking for it.

Zhou Shudi intended to increase the mystery of this magical spiritual food, so he asked Zhou Jinnan to serve this dish at the end. When Zhou Shudi saw Zuo Danqiu in the restaurant, he suddenly felt more stable and confident. With a famous reporter on the scene, he thought that the speed at which the reputation of this dish would spread would be faster than he expected. Tomorrow, the situation of the trial operation will be completely different, right? Zhou Shudi thought to himself.

 The other dishes Cui Mingxu ordered were served by robots one after another. Each delicious dish was beautifully presented, with good color, aroma and taste. The visual impact of all of them in front of him was doubled. Cui Mingxu picked up his chopsticks first. He liked the garlic-flavored dry-fried eel segments. Each eel segment was half a finger long, just enough to eat it in one bite. The eel meat was tender, and the dry-fried cooking method made the eel skin crispy and exuded a slight burnt aroma. Cui Mingxu had never liked garlic, but this dish handled the garlic flavor just right. Cui Mingxu then understood the meaning of the saying in the food industry that “there are no unpalatable ingredients, only chefs who can’t cook.”

Min Ziqian has a family background in cooking, and one of the reasons why he was willing to come to this restaurant with Cui Mingxu was that he wanted to see the extraordinary chef Zhou in person. If he could make friends with him or even dig him into his own restaurant, it would be even better. Therefore, after the dishes were served, he did not pick up his chopsticks immediately. Instead, he commented and scored these dishes in his mind from the perspective of a chef.

The first dish he chose was the famous traditional dish Longjing shrimp. The Longjing shrimp was served in the center of a green-white corrugated square dish. Each shrimp was extremely complete and crystal clear jade white. The Longjing tea leaves used were the best Mingqian Longjing buds. The fresh and tender green color was perfectly preserved after being stir-fried out of the pan, without any signs of yellowing. The freshness of the shrimp and the fragrance of Longjing tea leaves set off each other. The shrimp was smooth and slightly chewy, and full of the fragrance of tea, which brought the freshness of this dish to the extreme.

It was even better than the Longjing shrimp made by his grandfather. Min Ziqian could tell it after taking a bite. He was even more looking forward to Zhou Jinnan. The chopsticks in his hand couldn’t help but reach for the round and pleasing rock sugar lotus soup. The soup is clear, the lotus is white and translucent, and the soft, slightly sweet lotus seeds floating in the soup were very pleasing to the eye.

Tao Bo didn’t have high expectations for this trip from the beginning. He was worried about something in his heart. Min Ziqian and Cui Mingxu had to take him along because they saw that he was worried. But he didn’t want to tell his friends and make them worry about him. So under the contradiction, Tao Bo became more and more depressed. Even the food in front of him that made people’s mouths water didn’t interest him. Although… the aroma of these delicacies made him hungry just by smelling them. They must be delicacies that can soothe his spirit.

“Brother Tao, what’s wrong with you? You have a bitter face even when eating such delicious food,” Cui Mingxu asked happily, holding a piece of rose cheese shortbread in his right hand. His trip was really not in vain!

 Tao Bo glanced at Cui Mingxu: “What else do you know besides eating?”

“The last dish is steamed knife fish. Please enjoy it slowly. This dish is best eaten while hot. The chef said that the shorter the time it is out of the pot, the better the effect.” The service robot served the last dish with a very good attitude, and did not forget to remind Cui Mingxu and the other two.

In the oval porcelain plate that was larger than all the other plates on the table, the more than one foot long knife fish raised its head and swung its tail with an imposing manner as if it was still alive. There was nothing on the whole plate except the fish body and the dipping sauce that flowed from the bottom of the fish belly.

Even Cui Mingxu, who had blindly trusted Jushanlou’s food was stunned when he saw such a simple plating, let alone the others. This dish seemed to be less exquisite than the rose cheese shortbread in his mouth, but it was the most expensive among the ten delicacies? And if he remembered correctly, it seemed that this dish was the only signature dish among the ten dishes that were limited today? Cui Mingxu recalled silently.

The previous dishes had already amazed Cui Mingxu again and again. This plain-looking steamed fish might be even more delicious? With this thought in mind, Cui Mingxu picked up a piece of fish belly meat, dipped it in some sauce and put it into his mouth.

Suddenly, his face changed: “Ziqian, Brother Tao, try this dish! It’s different from the others!”

Cui Mingxu is a soldier, and a soldier with high physical and mental levels, otherwise he would not have been promoted to the rank of major at such a young age. With the A-level mentality, Cui Mingxu immediately noticed the energy and unusualness contained in this piece of fish meat. He quickly picked up another piece to taste, wanting to check whether his judgment was wrong.

However, the result was still the same. After eating the fish, his mental power seemed to have self-awareness, and actively clamored for more. This situation can only mean that this dish is really good for mental power! 

Min Ziqian and Tao Bo saw the changes in Cui Mingxu. They looked at each other and took a piece of fish with doubt. The same shocked expression as Cui Mingxu before instantly appeared on Min Ziqian and Tao Bo’s faces, which made the other diners who had been secretly watching them couldn’t help but be suspicious. 

The three young men ordered the whole menu as soon as they arrived. They were not ordinary people at first glance, but an ordinary steamed fish made them change their faces at the same time? What was so unusual about this dish? Thinking of this, the diners couldn’t help but ponder, and their eyes looking at the steamed fish began to become a little different. 

 Min Ziqian was just shocked, but Tao Bo was completely shocked and excited. It was like he was drowning in the sea and suddenly grabbed the only straw to save his life. He suddenly changed his absent-mindedness when eating. He moved his chopsticks quickly and ate like a beggar who saw food after being hungry for many days.

“Brother Tao, you are not kind!” Cui Mingxu, who came to his senses, rushed to grab the food with Tao Bo, “Why are you only thinking about eating alone! I ordered all this!”

Min Ziqian also joined the battle on the table at the right time: “Don’t grab it, everyone else is watching, pay attention to your image.”

“You tell us not to grab it, then you put down your chopsticks!” Cui Mingxu was not polite.

A large steamed fish was divided up by three people in less than ten minutes. Tao Bo called the service robot: “We want another serving of this steamed knife fish, no, two servings.” Such good things, he could eat no matter how much!

 “By the way, can you go to the kitchen and ask. We want to meet your chef, we have something important to discuss with him alone about this dish.” Min Ziqian pointed to the empty plate in front of him and added.

“No need to discuss, each table of guests is limited to one order of steamed knife fish per day,” Zhou Jinnan came over in a white chef’s robe. His eyebrows and eyes were full of understanding, “As for the effect, it’s the same effect you had after eating. It is indeed good for mental power.”

Everyone: !!!

Zhou Jinnan’s words were like a thunderclap in the plain, instantly triggering the discussion of the diners.

“What did I hear? This little chef actually said that a steamed fish is good for mental power?!”

“It should be that the effect of soothing mental power is particularly obvious? The effect is very good. If so, it is understandable that this dish is priced so high.”

“But the expressions on the faces of the three people who have eaten it don’t seem to be like this?”

“What do you feel after eating it?”

Tao Bo and the others didn’t care about their questions at all. Instead, they stared at Zhou Jinnan, especially Tao Bo: “What do you mean by good for mental power? What is the specific effect? ​​… Is it, can it repair mental power?” Tao Bo’s voice trembled a little when he said the latter, which was caused by uneasiness and excitement.

Even Huo Xuan, who had been observing, noticed something unusual, and couldn’t help but cast a surprised look at this time. The reporter Zuo Danqiu immediately opened the live broadcast of her personal terminal after realizing this. She had a hunch that what will happen next must be extremely explosive!

Sure enough, when Tao Bo asked whether it could repair the spirit, Zuo Danqiu and others couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice. They looked at Zhou Jinnan at the same time, wanting to hear more of his explanation.

 Zhou Jinnan’s face was calm but with a hint of pride: “It not only repairs mental power, but also improves people’s mental potential and can treat mental breakdown, although the process is very slow.”

Treat mental breakdown?! Some people didn’t believe it at all and looked at Zhou Jinnan like a madman, while others seemed to be thinking about something. After hearing Zhou Jinnan’s answer, Tao Bo felt relieved. He asked anxiously and earnestly, “Look at my current situation. How long will it take to cure mental breakdown?”

Min Ziqian and Cui Mingxu suddenly turned their heads to look at Tao Bo, their eyes full of disbelief: “Brother Tao, is there something wrong with your mental power? When did it happen?!”

Zhou Jinnan did not answer, “We’ll talk about this question later.” He turned his head and noticed Zuo Danqiu’s leaving figure. He frowned and seemed to remember something. He called out to Zuo Danqiu the second before he disappeared, “Madam, please stay.”

Zuo Danqiu was busy rushing back to pick up other people to come to Jushanlou to plan a big interview. The news about the steamed fish that could cure mental breakdown had already exploded in her live broadcast room. Hearing Zhou Jinnan calling her, Zuo Danqiu thought that Zhou Jinnan was dissatisfied with her previous live broadcast, so she quickly said: “Do you want me to delete the live broadcast?”

“It’s not about this,” Zhou Jinnan’s face was slightly gloomy, “I’m not interested in your live broadcast,”

“It’s just that you didn’t pay the bill?”

Zuo Danqiu: ???
