Xu Zhou: Who knows! The store's rating is finally going to go up!

Chapter 83 Xu Zhou's First Solo E-magazine

This time, the digital magazine featured Xu Zhou on a solo cover.

The title is very simple, straightforward, and eye-catching, making people want to click on it at first glance.

The Songnan University Food Festival has concluded!

[Ichizuru Izakaya surpasses all dishes and rice]

Below is an article written by Zhong Qi himself.

Xu Zhou clicked on it and took a look.

It not only briefly introduced his situation at the food festival, but even included a section in bold with a subheading:

[Let me tell you about a misunderstanding caused by a video.]

Students from the Department of Law at Songnan University saw a video from the same city and assumed the diners were eating rice soaked in soup, but they were surprised to find it was actually ochazuke (rice soaked in tea) from Ichishu Izakaya.

Rice soaked in soup is a signature dish of this "one dish, one rice" restaurant. Not only did it meet with tea-soaked rice at the food festival, but it has also been nominated for both of them in this year's Songnan City's list of potential creative dishes of the year...

"Good guy."

"You've clearly stirred up trouble."

Xu Zhou's lips twitched.

but.

Surprisingly…

When the Songnan City Food Association posted this individual e-newsletter message, the comments below were mostly praise.

Most of the praise came from students of Songnan University.

...

They were on the scene commenting the moment the e-magazine was released.

[Cheese rice balls are the coolest! Boss Xu is awesome!]

[To anyone who wants to slander Mr. Xu, the law department of Songnan University will gather evidence on the spot. If you dare to slander him, I will gather evidence and sue you on behalf of Mr. Xu! Also, I support chicken rice balls, thank you.]

[The pork rice balls are the best! Also, Boss Xu's tea-soaked rice is definitely better than soup-soaked rice. I'm going to try it today, and I'll film a video to show you how delicious it is.]

Every word and sentence is about maintenance.

This made Xu Zhou sigh in admiration.

"These rice balls are definitely worth making..."

"No need to lift a finger, high daily output, and it also helps build a reputation..."

The key point is...

College students are truly one of the most innocent and adorable groups.

As long as you genuinely care for them from the bottom of your heart and do good things.

They truly will remember and be grateful.

...

Xu Zhou glanced at the expectant eyes in the store, then immediately turned around and went to the warehouse to take out the thermos he had stored in his space.

The converted small warehouse has been transformed into a "U" shape.

The "mouth" in the middle became a cold storage room with a door.

Around the cold storage are several neatly arranged iron shelves, which can store some food in a cool, dark place.

All the ingredients for making rice balls were neatly arranged on the shelves in the cold storage.

With the cold storage and small warehouse storage and delivery mechanisms from the last renovation, not only are the ingredients more convenient and no longer need to be carried by ourselves, but there is also a reason to pick up insulated containers from the air.

Xu Zhou took out the tea-soaked rice, grilled toon fish and cabbage puree, and the fast-food hamburger patty meal.

These dishes basically only require assembly.

...

After taking it out.

The students lined up with expectant looks on their faces, behaving very well and not making a fuss at all.

Xu Zhou stood by the kitchen counter, skillfully using a green teapot to pour tea over the salmon that had been pan-fried the day before.

The tea was steaming hot.

The fish still looked freshly pan-fried, retaining the warmth and aroma of being seared with a blowtorch.

The rich aroma of grilled fish is immediately released when hot tea is poured over it.

The students who leaned in immediately widened their eyes and cheered.

"Wow, salmon ochazuke (rice with tea)."

"The boss is amazing! This looks so delicious!"

Xu Zhou handed over a plate: "Your salmon ochazuke (rice with tea)."

“Looks delicious!”

"A serving of mackerel ochazuke... Hmm? Are you recording a video?"

Xu Zhou caught a glimpse of a mobile phone camera on the side of his eye.

A head popped out from behind the phone camera; it was Zhang Yong.

He chuckled and scratched his head.

"Mr. Xu, may I take a picture?"

He paused, then quickly explained, "I was thinking of making a video to promote the tea-soaked rice."

This tea-soaked rice looks much better than the soup-soaked rice with a side dish!

Xu Zhou didn't seem to mind.

"It's okay, feel free to take pictures."

"What about the cooking process?" Zhang Yong hesitated. What if someone followed the small business owner's recipe after he posted it online?

Before Xu Zhou could speak, he heard Li Da, Zhang Yong's classmate, object.

"No!"

"You dare to film the boss's menu? You could just film the process of pouring tea, wouldn't that be enough?"

The students next to Xu Zhou were even more anxious than Xu Zhou himself: "This is a secret recipe!"

...

Ding Yan sold her reserved ticket to afford the tea-soaked rice.

The salmon ochazuke has a rich and savory tea broth. The salmon is grilled and then soaked in the tea broth, creating a layer of incredibly fresh fish oil floating on the surface, making you eager to take a sip.

She carefully and gently sipped the soup.

The rich, sweet flavor instantly tantalized her taste buds.

"!!!!!!"

Ding Yan couldn't help but gasp, as if she couldn't believe she could eat such a delicious dish. After taking a sip of the soup, she immediately ate a piece of salmon.

The first sensation of the fish on her tongue was its softness; as she gently bit into it, the creamy flavor of the fish gradually assaulted her taste buds.

Take a full bite.

The fish was even softer and sweeter than jelly, incredibly fresh, and left a lingering fragrance in my mouth.

It was a taste she had never eaten before, a taste that her mind could not even imagine.

"This...this...this..."

Ding Yan stared blankly: "Is this the kind of fish and meat that college students like us are supposed to eat?"

Even if you don't know much about fish.

But for a college student like her who had only ever eaten fish and meat at the cafeteria before, her mind went completely blank when she ate king salmon.

The fish has a slightly sweet taste, and it seems so fresh that you can almost feel its vitality.

You can feel its high price with just one bite.

The college students around them were all stunned.

Like a robot that had crashed, it took a bite, then held the bowl, its eyes wide open, staring blankly at the bowl in its hand.

The brain completely shut down.

One hundred and twenty-one?

"Such amazing ochazuke (rice with tea) only costs 121?"

"There's something this awesome near our university? Mom..."

When they were truly stunned, they instinctively called for their mothers.

That was a taste beyond what the college students could comprehend; it was so incredibly delicious!

When Zhang Yong finished his salmon ochazuke, he couldn't wait to have a mackerel ochazuke.

The preparation of mackerel and salmon ochazuke is clearly different.

The tea soup is light and refreshing, and the fish is tender and fresh, imbued with the unique freshness and vitality of spring ingredients.

One bite, and the experience was completely different from what I had at Brother Li's casual dining place.

"This fish..."

“This is too delicious!”

"This is a completely different experience from before!"

Not only did it not have any rotten smell, but it was so fresh that it seemed to dance on the tip of the tongue.

The students at Songnan University ate with gusto, some even with tears in their eyes.

Now I know why Mr. Xu's regular customers are so calm when they eat rice balls!

So they were eating really well before!

...

in the afternoon.

After the publication of the Songnan University Food Journal, it suddenly became a minor hot topic.

Someone has put out a poll.

#This year's creative potential dish selection: Soup-soaked rice or tea-soaked rice, which dish do you support?

A: I support rice soaked in soup.

B: I support ochazuke (rice with tea).

At first, in the morning, rice soaked in soup had an overwhelming advantage.

However, when someone posted a video in the comments section of this trending video at noon, this advantage was instantly broken.

In the video.

A group of students held a bowl of rice soaked in tea and carefully took a sip.

Then his eyes widened immediately.

My brain short-circuited.

He stared blankly at the bowl in his hand, mouth agape.

The video is hilarious because a group of students look like they've never seen anything like it before, their expressions of being so overwhelmed by the deliciousness of the tea-soaked rice that it seems like their CPUs have overheated.

This video came out.
