Have you ever seen glowing food? That's why you draw a food-themed anime.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Yuanhua looked around, his gaze lingering on the Ichizawa Izakaya for a while before moving to the shop next door.

[Brother Li's Simple Meals]

His eyes relaxed: "This Li Ge's Simple Meal is indeed quite good. Although the chef here is just an ordinary person who has never studied cooking, the ingredients he uses are very generous."

"Uh……"

Jiang Mingzhu braced herself and said, "Grandpa, this isn't the place."

"No? Which one is it then?"

Jiang Yuanhua's gaze lingered on [Yizhou Izakaya] for a moment before he immediately looked away, not giving Yizhou Izakaya any thought.

I already put Ichizuru Izakaya at the top of my list of restaurants I don't recommend, so how could Mingzhu, who is always so filial, possibly bring me to eat at this place?

Look to the right.

Rural Vegetarian Medicinal Cuisine

"It must be this vegetarian restaurant, right?"

"..."

"I've never eaten it before."

Jiang Yuanhua thought that since it was recommended by his granddaughter, he should at least go and try it: "Let's go, it's good to eat vegetarian food."

Take a few steps.

Jiang Mingzhu didn't follow, but stood still.

"what happened?"

Grandpa Jiang turned around and saw that she wasn't moving. He asked in confusion, "Mingzhu, what's with that expression? Just say what you have to say."

"No... it's not this fast food restaurant."

Jiang Mingzhu paused, then her eyes lit up when she saw Xu Zhou unloading a large thermos from his car not far away.

"Young Master Xu!"

"Ok?"

Xu Zhou held the unfilled thermos in his arms, turned his head and saw Jiang Mingzhu, then glanced at the old man beside her, and quickly recognized who it was.

Isn't this the old man who said he was arrogant?

...

Grandpa Jiang's expression was still kind and gentle.

Seeing his granddaughter so excited, Xu Zhou must indeed be a very good cook.

“My granddaughter has been talking about this young man who is a very good cook these past few days.”

"It must be you."

He was extremely kind: "We were just about to eat, is your shop open?"

"sure."

“My granddaughter said you are very good at making original dishes and Western food. There are not many people like you in China.”

The thought that this young man was actually making original dishes immediately made Grandpa Jiang's appreciation for talent arise.

Xu Zhou walked ahead calmly, occasionally responding with a few words.

The old man followed behind happily, but his expression froze the moment he saw Xu Zhou open the door of [Yizhou Izakaya] with the key.

"You...you..."

"Yes, I am Xu Zhou, the owner of Yizhou Izakaya who said I couldn't cook simple meals and was arrogant."

Jiang Yonghua: "..."

The thought that his granddaughter actually liked this shop made Grandpa Jiang's face turn ashen.

I still can't believe it.

He paused for a moment, then sighed, "My granddaughter wouldn't lie. If your cooking skills are truly excellent, then don't focus on marketing and advertising; you should concentrate on your culinary skills. If your restaurant doesn't offer light meals..."

"Who says my shop doesn't offer light meals?"

Xu Zhou took out a pen, picked up an A4 sheet of paper, and wrote down the five dishes from his restaurant in a flamboyant style.

And the very bottom one is:

[Fast-cooked mackerel burger steak combo: 89 yuan]

Jiang Yonghua was stunned: "You can cook simple meals?"

Could it be that I misunderstood?

Jiang Mingzhu's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait: "Young boss, my grandfather is just a bit old-fashioned, don't mind him! Two servings of each of the five dishes!"

"grandfather."

Looking at the still-unresponsive Grandpa Jiang, Jiang Mingzhu said matter-of-factly, "You don't recommend that one, cancel it now!"

"..."

My own granddaughter never lies.

Could it be that I've really misunderstood this store?

After hesitating for a moment, Grandpa Jiang Yonghua silently took out his phone and temporarily removed "Yizhou Izakaya" from the "Not Recommended" list.

He plans to try the others first before making a decision.

Chapter 43: Xu Zhou's Shop Goes Viral

Many people noticed when Jiang Yonghua removed Xu Zhou's "Yizhou Izakaya" from the list of restaurants not recommended.

Does this store really have something to offer?

Can't you?

Many fans who happened to witness this scene also became curious.

[How did this store manage to get featured on Songnan University's academic paper page? And why did it suddenly disappear from the list of items not recommended?]

[It must be a bug. It's not like the old man suddenly discovered this restaurant is delicious, is it?]

[You know what, this restaurant has a new menu item! The new dish is a quick meal! A set meal of mackerel burger steak is only 89!]

Wait a minute, I feel like I've seen this dish name somewhere before, but I just can't remember where... Does anyone else find this dish name familiar?

It has generated a lot of discussion.

It even made it onto the "Today's Hot Topics" section of the Songnan City Food Association app.

Even Xu Zhou's cousin, Liu Feng, who was at work, saw it.

#A paper from the Culinary Arts Department of Songnan University strongly recommends this new restaurant.

...

The app that Songnan City residents love to use most often is the Songnan City Food Association's app.

This page includes not only tutorials from renowned chefs, but also restaurant recommendations from those chefs, and restaurants they don't recommend.

The square was also filled with all sorts of random posts, covering all the food, drinks, and entertainment in Songnan City.

There will also be daily hot topics.

This afternoon.

Liu Feng had just finished his morning work and was about to relax by browsing the Songnan City Food Association app when his phone suddenly rang.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"I just finished my work. Don't worry, I'll eat. I won't skip it."

It was Zhang Xue calling to supervise his meals, and before he could say more than a few words, he heard someone interrupting next to his mother, Zhang Xue.

"Xiao Zhou already has a shop, right? Xiao Feng, why don't you just give Huan Huan the internal referral job from your company?"

"My Huanhuan has graduated but still doesn't have a job."

The speaker was Xu Zhou and Liu Feng's maternal uncle.

Today is his birthday, and his family went over for lunch to celebrate with him.

Zhang Yinghong was also there.

Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but say, "My Xiaozhou hasn't expressed his opinion yet; I haven't asked him for his opinion."

"Don't you all have shops on your boats?"

"Yes, although business is not good, your shop doesn't have rent, so you can easily make a living by selling a little every day."

The relatives next to them were all smiles, chatting and laughing amongst themselves.

There was no malice in his words, but he clearly didn't think Xu Zhou could make a lot of money from this shop.

"Don't even think about it."

Zhang Xue smiled and said, "I will definitely reserve this internal referral job at Xiaofeng Company for Xiaozhou."

"You always think of him when something good happens," Uncle Zhang Ke said sourly.

"I watched Xiaozhou grow up. If something good happens, who else would I think of if not him?"

"The job pays well, 12,000 a month, plus a bonus for two months at the end of the year, as long as Xiaozhou is willing to go."

Although Xu Zhou now runs a shop.

But Zhang Xue still kept the job for him.

...

The relative next to him curled his lip, his tone sour.

"Alright, alright, with you all thinking so much for Xiao Zhou, he won't have to worry about anything in the future."

"That's right, they don't even have to work hard anymore."

"To be honest, ability isn't that important when it comes to people. Sometimes, getting a good job is also a matter of luck."

"Of course! Xiao Zhou is just lucky."

Their words almost universally implied that Xu Zhou had no real ability but got a good job for nothing.

Available in the next second.

"You're wrong about that."

Liu Feng's tone on the phone was indifferent: "Xiao Zhou doesn't need to rely on me at all. Xiao Zhou can rely on herself."

On their own?

The other relatives didn't refute it, but just smiled, clearly not believing it.

"..."

"Mom, Auntie, is Xiaozhou's shop called Yizhou Izakaya?"

"Yes."

Zhang Yinghong nodded: "You want to order takeout? But it seems that Xiaozhou's shop doesn't do takeout."

The relatives nearby all perked up their ears, when suddenly they heard Liu Feng's shocked voice.

"Xiao Zhou's shop has become a hot topic."

"?"

"It's trending on the Songnan City Food Association app! It's a hot topic!" Liu Feng said excitedly. "Xiao Zhou's shop is about to become a hit."

Boom.

The room fell silent instantly.

what?

How could Xu Zhou's 2.5-star shop become a trending topic? That's impossible.
