I'm a Landlady in the Apocalypse

Driven out of her home by her biased parents and cruel older sister, Su Tao decided to cut ties with them completely, vowing to rather starve, freeze, and wander outside for a lifetime than ever re...

Volume 1_Chapter 127 Master Qin's Craftsmanship

Su Tao had no experience in parenting, so she couldn't give her any advice.

Although Zhuang Wan was worried, she did not delay her work and gave Su Tao the list of new tenants of the seven two-bedroom, one-living-room apartments for review.

"This time, the houses are very popular with families. All seven apartments are occupied by couples with children. But boss, when will we have houses with more than two bedrooms? Everyone has been asking about this for a long time, and I haven't given them an answer."

Su Tao said, "Wait a little longer, it should be ready around next month."

In another month, the business at Panliu Mountain should pick up. In addition, with the increasing number of tenants in Taoyang, reaching 200 people should not be a problem.

Zhuang Wan was happy: "Just hearing your words is enough. I've also explained to the tenants that they should leave me an apartment. I've wanted to move out for a long time. My children are grown up and don't want to share a room with me anymore."

Su Tao made an OK gesture, and suddenly remembered to ask:

"By the way, how's Lan Lingling? She was seriously injured in the bomb explosion two days ago. Is she healed?"

Zhuang Wan said, "Doctor Zhong cured her, but she now has some psychological problems. She's afraid to see people or leave her room. Her father has been taking care of her, and half of his hair has turned white."

"Her father quit his job in Dongyang, firstly to make it easier for him to take care of her, and secondly to catch Su Zhengqing on his own."

Su Tao didn't know what to say, and finally said: "Remind him to pay attention to safety."

The next morning, Su Tao asked Zhuang Wan to bring Bao Tu and others to check in, while she took Lin Fangzhi to Panliu Mountain.

Ma Dapao ran out from the kitchen and shouted excitedly:

"Boss Su, Master Qin's cooking skills are amazing. Try it. I never knew lettuce could be cooked so deliciously."

Master Qin's deaf-mute wife brought over a plate of blanched lettuce, put it down, and looked at Su Tao with a silly smile.

The aroma hits your nose before the food arrives.

Su Tao took a small piece, and the salty and fragrant taste penetrated every corner of his mouth. The taste was crisp but not raw. He really deserved to be the old chef of the hotel.

Lin Fangzhi stared at her mouth intently.

Su Tao smiled: "Eat it, it's all for you."

Lin Fangzhi knew that everything was swept away by the wind.

Chef Qin was still a little shy: "Is it delicious? I haven't made it for a long time, so my hands are not very good at it."

Because of the previous compliment, Lin Fangzhi treated him as an acquaintance and said, "It's delicious."

Chef Qin seemed to have regained the sense of accomplishment he had before the end of the world, when he conquered the world's taste buds with just a spoonful and a pot.

His deaf-mute wife clapped her hands foolishly beside him, as if she was also congratulating her husband.

Master Qin squeezed her hand affectionately.

Ma Dapao's teeth ached just watching this.

Su Tao asked him, "Have you sent off the guests from the Shouan Transport Team?"

Ma Dapao nodded repeatedly: "Just sent it up, this dish is specially reserved for you to try, and Brother Lin."

Lin Fangzhi had finished eating. He put down his plate and looked at the kitchen, as if he was not full yet.

Seeing that it was indeed time for dinner, Su Tao asked Chef Qin to make three more dishes: a portion of blanched lettuce, a portion of braised pork, a portion of cold-mixed water spinach, and some steamed fragrant rice.

Not long after they sat down to eat, the guests who smelled the food came downstairs one after another. When they saw the three freshly made dishes, their eyes widened like bells.

“Where did this dish come from?”

“Are these really fresh vegetables?”

"And meat. I haven't seen rice this good in years. Where did you buy it?"

Ma Dapao didn't even eat the meal. He simply greeted the guests and explained the existing menu to them, as well as the time period for ordering.

Even Shouan and others who received the dishes upstairs looked at each other in surprise when they saw the plate of blanched lettuce.

As the transport team leader, Zhang Lin traveled between various bases and had seen many powerful organizations, but this Panliu Mountain really surprised him.

The teammate looked at the plate of lettuce, swallowed his saliva, and said:

"Captain, what's the deal with Panliu Mountain? Not only does it supply fuel, but it also gives us free water. Now they're even giving us this expensive dish for free. Honestly, we don't even need to attract customers. It won't be long before everyone's flocking here. Who'll care about that expensive, shabby old station anymore?"

Zhang Lin saw his teammates' eyes glued to the food and waved his hand:

"Let's eat. Since their boss is willing to send this dish and is happy to discount the room rate, then we should do what we should do. Later, you guys take some photos of Panliu Mountain and this dish, and send them to our friends in the same industry."

"Okay." In less than twenty seconds, all the dishes were picked up.

There were also some who had no regard for shame at all and took out dry food from their bags and ate all the soup on the plate.

Several people were still not satisfied.

"Captain, you haven't eaten enough. Can we go down and ask if there's any more? You can even pay for it."

Zhang Lin also felt like he was eating a ginseng fruit and couldn't taste anything.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw a long line outside the kitchen window.

When they looked carefully, they found that there was a menu. Although there were only five dishes, just the smell made them feel like their souls were about to be taken away.

Line up, line up!

Seeing that his food was so popular, Chef Qin in the kitchen stirred the big spoon even more vigorously.

Even Wu Zhen, who was stuck in the room, could hear the lively voices.

The noise suddenly freed him from his lonely world and made him feel as if he had returned to the human world.

He went downstairs and was stunned by the strong smell of fireworks.

Su Tao was also full and packed five dishes to take back to Taoyang for Zhuang Wanmei and the others to try. When she turned around, she saw Wu Zhen in a daze.

She walked over and asked with a smile, "Are you awake?"

Instead of asking if you have figured it out.

This natural feeling of nonchalance made Wu Zhen feel comfortable. He nodded:

"Well, I haven't slept so well in a long time. Why is it so lively all of a sudden?"

In fact, there were not many customers in Panliu Mountain, only about twenty people in total, but because they all came down to queue up, more than half of the not-so-spacious restaurant was packed, making it seem a lot more lively.

Su Tao picked up the food in her hand and said, "Let's order. A few days ago, I asked Fang Zhi to bring some cultivated vegetables from Taoyang to Panliu Mountain. Master Qin is our chef. Any vegetable can be transformed into delicious food in his hands. Look, after the menu was released, everyone came to line up."

Just as he finished speaking, Chef Qin shouted from the kitchen, "The lettuce and water spinach are sold out. Those who want to order these two don't have to queue!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the customers in the queue were in an uproar.

Someone shouted in dissatisfaction: "I just got in line, and you sold out? Can't you prepare more?"

"Yeah, I observed that you sold less than ten copies, which is too few."

Chef Qin replied, "Oh, we don't have that many vegetables right now. Please understand, sir."

"Is there one tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow is fine too. I'm staying here for a week. It's been ages since I've stayed in such a comfortable hotel. The food and drinks are delicious, and the fuel is cheaper than at the old station. If I had known earlier, I would have stayed here the last time I passed by."

Master Qin stretched his head and looked at Su Tao for help.

Su Tao was about to reply when Wu Zhen suddenly stopped her and said:

"How much lettuce and water spinach do you need? They're both easy to grow. I can give you a full crop in two days."
