The Seventh Star Region is the largest of the agricultural star systems that the Federation has divided, and Aquamarine is the largest main star in the Seventh Star Region. The economic development level of Aquamarine has always been in the middle and lower levels of the major planets in the Federation, and the permanent population is not large. Fortunately, the Federation star network is well developed, allowing the people of Aquamarine to also be the first to understand the dynamics of other star regions in the Federation, eliminating the defect of delayed information.

Correspondingly, this place is not overdeveloped, the climate is pleasant, the environment is beautiful, and it is extremely suitable for living. Large tracts of land have been planned by the government to be connected into large farms with centralized management. Forests, mountains, plains and grasslands are fully utilized. The sea area is also divided into different breeding areas according to function. Every year, a large amount of food is transported to other star regions, especially several star regions close to the Seventh Star Region. Aquamarine is their reserve granary. Other conditions may be far inferior to the prosperous capital star, but in terms of food and ingredients, Aquamarine can definitely surpass all other planets in the Federation.

Sitting on the largest granary in the Federation, it would be unreasonable not to make good use of it. This has created a trend of pursuing chefs on Aquamarine Star more than other star regions. This is the cradle of many famous chefs, but it is dragged down by the economic development route that Aquamarine Star has always planned. After those famous chefs emerged on Aquamarine Star, many chose to go far away to more developed planets for development. As a result, although there are many chefs on Aquamarine Star, top chefs are rare. Otherwise, with Zhou Shudi’s level of a fifth-level chef, it would definitely not be so easy to gain a foothold in Aquamarine Star, a place with many chefs.

The Central Mall is the largest commercial center on Aquamarine Star, called Aquamarine Plaza, and opposite it is a food court with a long history. A large number of people were attracted to Aquamarine Plaza, so this food court, called Bazhen Street, which was once quite large, has gradually declined. Now it has become a small plaza and is about to close down.

 “Bazhen Street has a very good location, but it is positioned as a food court, and the competitiveness of the food here is not as good as the major food stores that later settled in Aquamarine Plaza, so it has declined. If the brand of food is re-established, Bazhen Street can be revived,” Zhou Shudi took Zhou Jinnan to inspect the store he valued, and said the reason why he liked this place,” The positioning of this place is different from that of Aquamarine Plaza, so they can complement each other and achieve mutual success.”

After having a deep understanding of Zhou Jinnan’s cooking skills, Zhou Shudi quickly negotiated with Zhou Jinnan about the two of them cooperating to open a restaurant. Zhou Jinnan originally planned to open a private restaurant directly, but was stopped by Zhou Shudi: “You not only have no reputation now, but also have not solved the problem of identity. How can you open it? The road must be taken step by step, don’t be too impatient.”

After discussing, the two decided to open a restaurant first according to Zhou Shudi’s idea to make a name for themselves. As for the private restaurant that Zhou Jinnan wanted to open, it must have top-notch food with special uses, so it is positioned for the high-end market and will be opened when the time is right.

“I have already bought this store. Your cooking skills are beyond doubt. As long as the restaurant is open, customers will come to visit.” Zhou Shudi was very confident about this. He had a hunch that maybe the thing he had been thinking about for more than ten years could really be realized with this opportunity.

Bazhen Street is right opposite to Aquamarine Plaza. The location of the store that Zhou Shudi is interested in is across a road from the main gate of Aquamarine Plaza. From the window on the second floor, you can see Zhou Shudi’s previous restaurant… Zhou Jinnan looked at Zhou Shudi with a little interest: “The reason you chose this store must not be just because of the location, right?”

“Since I have decided to compete with Feng Quan and others, then compete thoroughly.” Zhou Shudi said calmly without changing his face.

 The store has two floors, which is larger than Zhou Shudi’s previous store. Each floor has an area of ​​nearly 200 square meters. It is not particularly large, but it is spacious enough for a small restaurant, especially since this restaurant currently has only two chefs. If the area is larger, the kitchen will not be able to take care of it during meal time. The previous owner who transferred this restaurant also opened a restaurant, but decided to change his career due to poor management. In addition to the store itself, other things in the store, such as tables and chairs, are ready-made and can be transferred together. Therefore, it does not take too much time to rearrange and open quickly.

“The decoration does not need to be changed. As long as the contact person changes all the soft decoration styles, it can be opened. It will only take two days.” Zhou Shudi said.

“I have no problem. Except for the signature dishes here, you can decide everything else.” Zhou Jinnan doesn’t care about these. Zhou Shudi is the boss of this restaurant. He only needs to come up with a signature that can make the restaurant a big hit.

 Zhou Shudi added: “The restaurant’s food supply is still the channel I contacted before. As long as the restaurant opens, it can be supplied immediately. However, you need to find another channel to purchase the high-end ingredients you need. In addition, I plan to test the waters and conduct a trial operation before the official opening.” Although the new restaurant is not completely oriented to the high-end market as Zhou Jinnan hoped at the beginning, it also needs high-end dishes to support the store. Zhou Shudi’s share of this restaurant accounts for nearly 70%, and he does not want it to be a restaurant that is exactly the same as before.

Since he has chosen to start from scratch, he must make some changes.

“Trial operation?” Zhou Jinnan raised his eyebrows, “Go on.”

“It means only selecting a few signature dishes after the official opening, and supplying them in limited time and quantity every day. This also requires you to cooperate with some publicity on Star Network, such as live broadcasting in the food section of Star Network.”

Zhou Jinnan does not mind broadcasting his cooking process. If a dish can be completely copied just by relying on an accurate recipe, then all his years of food training will be in vain. For a chef, what is more important is the experience and feeling accumulated over the years. Even if the ingredients are the same and the cooking method is the same, different chefs will produce different flavors.

The trial operation of the new restaurant is scheduled for a week later. During this week, Zhou Jinnan needs to draw up a menu for the trial operation period, and he also needs to go to the farm with Zhou Shudi to finalize the new source of goods. In the evening, he also needs to use Zhou Shudi’s account to advertise on the Star Network live broadcast. There is not enough time.

At the same time, news gradually came from the food industry of Aquamarine Star that the largest chain restaurant in the Federation, Zhenxiu Pavilion, would soon move into Aquamarine Plaza. The new store was already in the preparation stage and would officially open in a month. The new owner of Aquamarine Plaza also hired a Level 6 chef who had worked at the head office of Zhenxiu Pavilion in the imperial capital for seven or eight years with a large sum of money.

In the interstellar, whether it is a pharmacist or a chef, there are special professional associations. Formal chefs need to register and be assessed at the Chef Association. Only after the assessment will the chef’s level be determined. Generally speaking, Levels 1 to 3 are generally considered to be junior chefs, Levels 4 and 5 are intermediate, Levels 6 and 7 are advanced, Level 8 is directly awarded the Master Badge, and Level 9 is the Grandmaster, who can directly enter the highest management of the Chef Association. The difference between Level 5 and Level 6 is one level, but the difference is from intermediate to advanced.

There are not many Level 5 chefs on Aquamarine Star, but there are even less than one hand of Chefs above Level 6. Most of them are the management of the Aquamarine Star Chef Association branch, and they rarely make a move. It seems that Feng Quan is determined to make a big deal!

However, Zhou Shudi and Zhou Jinnan were not too worried about this. Zhou Jinnan didn’t care, and Zhou Shudi had confidence in Zhou Jinnan.

The two discussed the layout of the restaurant in the store, and after finalizing the modification plan, they left together. They walked out of Bazhen Street and saw Feng Quan and a middle-aged man with a round figure and short stature walking into Aquamarine Plaza with a smile.

“That should be the level 6 chef that Feng Quan poached.” Zhou Shudi guessed, “But it’s still unclear who will beat the other.”

On the Star Network Food section that day, Zhou Shudi opened a live broadcast room with his own account. This account was specially applied for by him for restaurant promotion. Usually, he would post a picture of the restaurant’s food and a short live broadcast when he remembered to, which also gathered some fans. The name of the account has been changed by him to Jushanlou – the new name of the restaurant that is about to open. Jushanlou, this name has finally been revitalised after many years, and Zhou Shudi has mixed feelings for a while.

As soon as the live broadcast started, fans who were strolling on the Star Network at any time heard the news and moved.

[Huh? Isn’t this account from Zhudao Restaurant? Why did it change its name? Zhudao Restaurant is the name of the old restaurant that Zhou Shudi closed.

[Jushanlou? Is Zhudao Restaurant going to reopen? ]

“Yes, the restaurant is relocating and is being renovated. It will reopen in a while, and there will be many new changes by then.” Zhou Shudi patiently answered the audience’s questions one by one.

[Will the chef still be the anchor? ]

Zhou Shudi said: “There will be a new chef joining. Believe me, you will definitely like his cooking skills. The protagonist of today’s live broadcast is also this new chef.” As he said, he turned the camera to Zhou Jinnan, “He is preparing the ingredients for the live broadcast later. The content of today’s live broadcast is crystal coconut osmanthus cake, golden snow fungus bird’s nest soup and eight-treasure gourd duck.” These three dishes were set by Zhou Jinnan according to Zhou Shudi’s requirements. The holographic live broadcast mode can perfectly restore the color, aroma and taste of the food. Since Zhou Shudi chose to broadcast live to advertise the restaurant, of course he had to choose the best and most attractive food.

 [Wow, he’s a young guy! ]

[He’s so young and he’s the chef? He can’t even hold the knife steady, can he? ]

[I’m already hungry just hearing the name… drooling :)]

[The anchor and the guy look so alike, are they be related? ]

“The new chef is my eldest son, Zhou Jinnan.” Zhou Shudi didn’t say much, and briefly introduced him. Although Zhou Jinnan decided to use his own identity, his relationship with Zhou Shudi still existed. Before he got his identity sorted out, he decided to announce to the public that he was Zhou Shudi’s eldest son who had been wandering outside for many years and had only recently found his relatives.

In the interstellar era of full real-name registration, there are problems and hidden dangers everywhere without a legal and formal identity. Zhou Shudi was worried about this, but Zhou Jinnan was not very worried. He knew that the opportunity that would allow him to have an interstellar identity would come soon.

He was an all powerful person who had been in the cultivation world for so many years, and he knew how to predict…
