Huo Xuan’s answer surprised Tao Bo and the other two. It was not until they saw that Qin Kai was also here and behaved very abnormally that they suddenly realized and unconsciously trusted Zhou Jinnan. Even the Huo and Qin families were willing to hand him over to Zhou Jinnan for treatment. Doesn’t it show that Zhou Jinnan is reliable?
After the Fifth Corps had an accident, the news of Qin Kai’s disappearance circulated among the high-ranking officials of various armies and the upper circles of the capital star for a long time. As time went by, they saw the anxiety of the Qin family. Many people believed that Qin Kai had met with an accident. However, Tao Bo and his family have always been on good terms with the Huo and Qin families. A few days ago, they heard that although the Qin family was still looking for Qin Kai’s whereabouts everywhere, they were not as frequent and anxious as before. They thought that the Qin family had lost confidence and reduced the intensity of the search. Unexpectedly, they had already found him.
“Don’t reveal any news about Qin Kai to anyone. The Qin family will make their own arrangements when the time comes.” Huo Xuan said to Tao Bo and the other two with a warning. He didn’t expect to see Tao Bo and the others on Aquamarine Star. Seeing the three of them nodding in assurance, he turned to Tao Bo and said, “Tao Bo, you can tell your family that you’re staying here. It will be good for your recovery.” Tao Bo was one of the most outstanding young people in the Tao family. At that time, Huo Xuan was secretly moved when he heard the news that the Tao family was looking for a doctor. He didn’t expect that Tao Bo would meet Zhou Jinnan in such a short time.
“Uncle Huo, can the food here really cure mental collapse?” Min Ziqian’s tone was full of uncertainty and doubt. Coming from a cooking family, he could not believe this conclusion more than Cui Mingxu and Tao Bo. He looked at Zhou Jinnan, “How did you do it?”
Zhou Jinnan looked back and forth at Tao Bo, and glanced at Min Ziqian after hearing his words. His eyes passed over Min Ziqian’s hands and said, “Matching, the energy and effects of different ingredients can stimulate the maximum effect of the ingredients as long as they are properly matched. You are a chef yourself, so you should understand. I call this kind of food spiritual food.”
Min Ziqian frowned and thought. Matching? The chefs in the star system definitely study a lot of food, but they focus more on how to research more delicious food or to improve the soothing effect of food on the mind. Is this idea wrong?
Zhou Jinnan said to Tao Bo: “Do you want to stay here for treatment?”
Tao Bo nodded solemnly: “Yes, I am willing even if it can only delay the time of my mental collapse.”
Knowing Huo Xuan, he must have a good family background and is a big fish that can be slaughtered. Zhou Jinnan’s eyes lit up when he thought of this, and he cast an inquiring look at Huo Xuan. After seeing Huo Xuan nod, he thought for a moment and smiled and said: “As long as you can afford the consultation fee and meal fee, everything is fine.” Tao Bo’s condition is much better than Qin Kai’s. Zhou Jinnan doesn’t need to spend much effort. He just needs to make more spiritual food for Qin Kai every day.
“That is, I need to eat the spiritual food you make every day, and my disease can be cured?!” After listening to Zhou Jinnan’s explanation, Tao Bo was still a little unbelievable. This treatment method is too easy, right? He can enjoy such exquisite food every day without worrying about anything else. The environment of Aquamarine Star is extremely beautiful and livable. If the treatment is just like this, what is the difference between this and a vacation? He agreed immediately, and even directly transferred a sum of money from his personal terminal, and asked tentatively: “Then will the spiritual food every day be today’s steamed knife fish?” Tao Bo still remembered the deliciousness of this dish.
“How is it possible? You are willing to eat it every day, but I am not willing to make it every day,” Zhou Jinnan replied, “Many spiritual foods are much better than steamed knife fish, but those are high-grade ingredients or even top-grade ingredients. They are not easy to buy, and it is not easy to sell even if I open a restaurant. We chose knife fish just because it is the easiest ingredient to obtain for healing mental power.” At this point, Zhou Jinnan looked at Huo Xuan with a smile, and his tone was rare and kind, “Uncle Huo, I think I need to trouble you about the high-grade ingredients.” The Huo family and the Qin family are so powerful that it is definitely more efficient to get high-grade ingredients than for Zhou Shudi and himself to find them.
Huo Xuan was suddenly named by Zhou Jinnan, and he agreed without much hesitation. High-grade ingredients are also good for Qin Kai, and it is mutually helpful: “Give me a list of the ingredients you need, and I will ask someone to help you find them.”
Min Ziqian interrupted at this time and said, “If you need high-quality and rare ingredients, I think I can help.”
“That’s right. The Min family is also in the food business like you. Their Starlight chain restaurant is a high-end restaurant and is very famous in the capital star.” Huo Xuan agreed, “In terms of ingredients, they have ready-made channels.”
“I can tell my family and let our supplier contact you, but I also have a request.” Min Ziqian said.
Zhou Jinnan’s eyes turned and he guessed Min Ziqian’s thoughts: “Do you want to learn spiritual food from me?”
Min Ziqian nodded a little embarrassedly. He knew that this request was a bit difficult. Spiritual food must be the signature of Zhou Jinnan and Jushanlou. It was really not kind for him to ask directly.
Who knew that Zhou Jinnan agreed very readily: “Okay, as long as you have time, you can learn from me for two months. Just in time to study with my father.” Spiritual food does not rely on secret recipes. There is nothing that cannot be taught, and it is not something that can be learned casually. Moreover, Jushanlou is about to open. Judging from the current situation, spiritual food will definitely be in short supply. Jushanlou will be too busy with only him and Zhou Shudi. Since Min Ziqian, who is from a family of chefs, is willing to come to the door at this time, Zhou Jinnan has no reason not to accept him.
He has to start looking for other chefs. Zhou Jinnan thought, maybe after the reputation of spiritual food is spread, he can try to accept a few apprentices? Otherwise, he will have no manpower to open his own private restaurant.
Min Ziqian was overjoyed: “Thank you!” He understood Zhou Jinnan’s cooking skills. Even if he has not learned Zhou Jinnan’s spiritual food skills, it will be of great benefit to Min Ziqian’s own cooking skills.
After discussing cooperation, Tao Bo and Min Ziqian decided to stay in Aquamarine Star for two months together. Tao Bo took a long vacation and Min Ziqian was on summer vacation, so there was no need to make extra arrangements. Cui Mingxu, the original initiator of this trip, watched helplessly as the two friends who came with him abandoned him. They would stay on Aquamarine Star in the future to enjoy the food, but he could only return to the army after three days. Cui Mingxu was miserable…
In the past few days, more and more diners came to Jushanlou during the trial operation. Many of them came directly for the signature dish that was said to be able to cure mental collapse. Although Aquamarine Star is an agricultural planet, there are also people with high-level physical and mental power, especially among the upper class. These people saw the menu of Jushanlou and ordered directly without blinking an eye. After knowing the reputation of Jushanlou in advance, they even felt that the pricing was favorable.
In this regard, Zhou Jinnan said: I think the restaurant can raise its prices when it officially opens.
When these people came for the first time, many of them sent people to pack two portions and take them back. They used their own channels to study and test whether the effects of these delicacies were as true as the rumors. After seeing the results of the inspection, they all regarded the delicacies produced by Jushanlou as treasures, and the deliciousness became their surprise.
In just a few days, the upper class and food circles of Aquamarine Star were swept by Jushanlou. Jushanlou suddenly went from being deserted on the first day to being hard to get a seat. Not only was the restaurant full as soon as they opened, but there was also an endless stream of diners waiting outside the restaurant. In order to get a seat, more and more people came to line up early every day. This was when only those on Aquamarine Star knew that spiritual food was produced by Jushanlou. Once the authoritative organization recognizes the magical effect of Jushanlou’s food, the number of customers will increase wildly again. Even now, the trial operation time can no longer satisfy the diners.
“Why is the business time only two hours? Isn’t this too short?” The diners complained.
“Not only is the time short, but there are only ten dishes per day, which is too few! I wanted to order the Lanxiang Wings I had just the day before yesterday, but they didn’t supply it! I couldn’t eat it even if I wanted to!”
“Trial operation is definitely different from the official opening.”
“Yes, this is only a trial operation with so many people. If it is officially opened and Jushanlou becomes more famous, wouldn’t it be more difficult to grab a seat?”
“I heard that the second floor will also be open to customers when the restaurant officially opens. It shouldn’t be as crowded as it is now, right?”
“Not necessarily. There will be more seats but there will definitely be more people. It might be harder to grab a seat.”
“Did you forget one thing? Today is the last day of Jushanlou’s trial operation. There is still some time before the official opening! Where should we eat during this period?”
Everyone: …
Yes! How could they forget this serious problem. People who can come to Jushanlou for dinner every day are all well-off. After enjoying the superb delicacies and various magical spiritual foods, how can they accept those mediocre foods again?
So.
“Chef Zhou, have you decided on the official opening date of Jushanlou?”
“Chef Zhou, do you have any extra invitations for the opening of Jushanlou?”
“Boss Zhou, I wonder if Chef Zhou has time to take private jobs during this period?”
…For a while, Zhou Shudi was welcomed more and more by the upper class of Aquamarine Star than ever before.
The popularity of Jushanlou undoubtedly affected the Zhenxiu Pavilion branch that opened at the same time. Feng Quan was very upset when he saw that Jushanlou was becoming more and more popular on Aquamarine Star, but the competitiveness of Jushanlou’s food was too unique and could not be replicated, making Feng Quan powerless to deal with it.
“Boss Feng, have you heard about Jushanlou?” Deng Yingzhi asked Feng Quan with a sullen face. He was a level 6 chef that Feng Quan had hired from the capital at a high price, and was responsible for all matters in the back kitchen of Zhenxiu Pavilion Aquamarine Star branch. He originally thought that as a level 6 senior chef, he would be praised and admired by coming to this remote Aquamarine Star, but who knew that in the end he was not as good as a young man who was less than 20 years old!
The more Deng Yingzhi thought about it, the more unbalanced he felt. When he heard that Feng Quan had dealt with the chef of Jushanlou, he immediately came to inquire about the situation of Jushanlou.
“How can food have a role other than soothing mental power?” Deng Yingzhi didn’t believe it at all. “Did they invite someone to promote and exaggerate the effect? Maybe it’s just a medicinal food with warming and tonic effect?”
Feng Quan was just a businessman, and he didn’t understand why Jushanlou was so popular: “Medicinal food? What is medicinal food?” Is there something else behind it?
Deng Yingzhi said: “It is a branch of cuisine passed down from ancient times. In the ancient earth period, food tonic was emphasized, and many medicinal materials could be used in dishes. Some medicinal food did have some effects. I wonder if those dishes with magical effects in Jushanlou are actually medicinal food?” This was the only conclusion he came to after thinking for several days.
“Hm, I’ll ask someone to find out.” Feng Quan thought for a while and said.
