Peerless Young Master

The news of Mr. Zhao's return to seclusion was like a tornado, sweeping across Longque Street and the surrounding neighborhoods in an instant, and naturally reached the ears of Great Uncle.

When he learned the news, he was shocked and looked ugly. His eyes flickered and he seemed anxious. He quickly called Lin Haitao over.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier about the news that the girl persuaded Mr. Zhao to come out of retirement?"

"Mr. Zhao"

Lin Haitao also looked confused: "Grandpa, which Mr. Zhao?"

"Mr. Zhao of Manchun Garden"

After thinking about it, Lin Haitao was still confused, but seeing his grandfather's grim expression, he asked cautiously: "Grandpa, is this person very powerful?"

"It's normal that you don't know this person. There has been no news of him for many years. I didn't expect him to suddenly appear this time." Great Uncle sighed: "If there is anyone who can improve the restaurant business and surpass Qingchun Restaurant, Mr. Zhao is one of them."

“So amazing”

Lin Haitao opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth in surprise, looking extremely surprised, and then said anxiously: "Then Grandpa, what should we do now? The agreed day is coming soon. If the restaurant business is good, then all our efforts will be in vain."

Great Uncle frowned slightly, his eyes instantly becoming deep and sharp. He stroked his beard, thought for a moment and said:

"The price to persuade Mr. Zhao is not small. The Lin family does not have the ability to do so for the time being, otherwise the person coming this time would not be just a disciple."

"But I heard that this apprentice has inherited some of Master Zhao's skills. The restaurant business showed signs of improvement as soon as he started working. If he keeps doing this, I'm afraid he can really turn the situation around."

"Grandpa, I'll find some people to threaten him. If he continues to stay in the restaurant, we'll break both of his arms. How can he cook without his hands?" Lin Haitao said with a fierce look on his face.

"idiot"

The great uncle scolded: "What's in your head? How do you only know these low-level methods? Break his arm, then go cook and start the restaurant business."

"Grandpa, I was wrong." Lin Haitao shrank his neck, looking like he had done something wrong.

Seeing that grandpa was thinking about countermeasures, he bravely said, "Since we can't threaten them, we will give them whatever the Lin family can give us, or even more than she gives us."

"The Lin family can't give it, and neither can I."

"He's just a cook, with such a big appetite, isn't he afraid of dying of overeating?" Lin Haitao muttered softly.

The great uncle looked at Lin Haitao, who was uneducated and a complete rogue. He couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, but he suppressed it, and his face looked a little ugly:

"This is not important. What is important is that there is only one day left before the appointment. Unless Mr. Zhao is in charge of the restaurant himself, it is simply a foolish dream for a disciple to want to turn the world upside down."

Hearing this, Lin Haitao smiled brightly and said flatteringly: "Grandson knows that grandpa is the most powerful. Nothing can defeat you. With your help, you can definitely intimidate them."

The uncle ignored the flattery and thought for a moment: "Take some time to meet that son-in-law."

"Okay, I've been annoyed with that loser for a long time. Not only did he dare to contradict Grandpa last time, he also ignored me. He's really tired of living like this. This time, I'm going to teach him a lesson."

Speaking of Li Xuan, Lin Haitao's face was full of anger, and the humiliation he suffered in the meeting hall before came to his mind;

If he hadn't been beaten by the mysterious man before and hadn't been hiding to recuperate, he would have gone to cause trouble for the other party long ago. Why would he wait until now?

"How could I have such a stupid grandson like you?" Great Uncle was so angry that he slapped him and said with a sullen face:

"When we take back the restaurant, Mr. Zhao will naturally not continue to work for us. Then the restaurant will have no chef and you will be the one to cook."

Lin Haitao shrank his head, rubbed his forehead, lowered his head, and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa means that I should go find him and give him some benefits to make him work for us."

"I've heard that hot pot is very popular. If I can get the recipe, I'll definitely make a fortune. Then my position as the head of the family will be more secure."

Lin Haitao said "oh" and suddenly realized: "This loser is lucky; who would have thought that this loser could make such a popular delicacy? I really underestimated him."

The great uncle stared at Lin Haitao with a rare serious tone: "I'm telling you, you have to be careful about this matter. If you mess it up, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I will definitely bring the recipe back to you." Lin Haitao patted his chest with a smile on his face.

………………

Ziwu Street is the busiest street in the city.

Being able to rent a shop here is a symbol of strength and status.

Even the Lin family does not have this qualification.

In the most prosperous place of Ziwu Street, there stands a three-story restaurant, each floor of which is decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, with flying eaves and pointed corners, revealing an extraordinary momentum.

On the vermilion door lintel, the three large characters "Zhenxiulou" written in gold paint, with flying dragons and phoenixes, sparkling and attracting the attention of passers-by.

At the entrance of Zhenxiu Tower stood a handsome young man wearing a light blue brocade robe, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, his eyes looking forward.

After a pause, he walked in.

"Sir, which private room would you like to go to?" a servant greeted warmly.

Zhenxiulou is different from ordinary restaurants. There is no scene of a group of people eating together here. There are only independent private rooms.

The main features are elegance and tranquility.

Therefore, there are no tables on the first floor, but some exquisite items are placed there for guests to appreciate.

As for the second and third floors, they are all private rooms and need to be booked in advance.

"I'm here to see your boss." Li Xuan looked around and couldn't help but sigh that it was worthy of being the number one restaurant, the level was different.

The entire restaurant is filled with a low-key and luxurious atmosphere, which makes people slow down their pace and immerse themselves in this elegance.

"Sir, please wait a moment."

Soon, a middle-aged man came out, wearing a well-cut brocade robe and an exquisite jade hairpin hat. He walked steadily and looked a bit majestic.

His face was calm, his eyes revealed a kind of majesty without anger, and there was a faint yet polite smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Are you looking for me?"

"You are the owner of Zhenxiulou." Li Xuan looked at the person in front of him.

"You can call me Manager Zhao." Manager Zhao said in a gentle voice, looking up and down.

"My name is Li Xuan. I'm here to discuss something with you. I wonder if Shopkeeper Zhao is available."

"please"

Manager Zhao led the way and gave a wink to the servant beside him, and then the two of them came to a private room.

"Looking at your noble bearing and elegant demeanor, I think you are also a nobleman; I run a business, and I think I know all the noblemen in the city, if not all of them, then I know 80% to 90% of them.

I thought about it carefully, and it seems that I have never seen you before."

Shopkeeper Zhao's gaze lingered on Li Xuan for a moment, as if trying to find a clue from the young man's clothing and behavior.

Li Xuan said leisurely: "I am just a son-in-law. Not to mention a big shot like Manager Zhao, even an ordinary restaurant owner would find it difficult to meet him.

It's normal that Boss Zhao doesn't recognize me."

Son-in-law?

Shopkeeper Zhao thought for a moment without showing any emotion and went straight to the point: "Then I wonder what Mr. Li wants to see me about."

"I want to discuss a business deal with Shopkeeper Zhao."

"I wonder if you have heard of hot pot?"

hot pot?

what is this?

"I've never heard of it. What kind of rare item is it?" Shopkeeper Zhao was a little confused.

Sure enough.

Li Xuan's heart sank. The influence of hot pot was still too limited. No one in the streets further away knew about it at all.

After all, the time is too short. If we increase the publicity efforts, it will definitely create a bigger stir.

At this moment, a servant came over and whispered something in Manager Zhao's ear. In just two seconds, he left.

"I heard that the Lin's Restaurant was in crisis, and it was you who came up with the hot pot to attract diners. It caused quite a stir for a while, and everyone praised it."

"Manager Zhao, you're overly kind."

What a great speed.

Li Xuan's pupils shrank slightly. The other party had investigated him so quickly. This strength was truly terrifying.

"I came here this time to sell you the hot pot. I think with your status and vision, you will also know the value of hot pot, which will definitely bring more profits."

"You have to sell me the hot pot"

Shopkeeper Zhao frowned, his tone a little surprised: "In just a few days, hot pot has become a household name in Longque Street. If given more time, you can hear this name even in Ziwu Street.

Such a profitable delicacy, you want to sell it to me?"
