"Of course," Lu Xiangze readily agreed.
They led the people to Sweetwater Lane.
It's not far from Guo Hongjun's home.
It only took two blocks to get there.
Sweetwater Lane is a bit wider than this side.
Moreover, the buildings are relatively well-preserved.
Previously, the people who lived here took good care of the place and didn't dismantle or damage the items.
It makes this old house look quite charming.
Guo Hongjun immediately recognized the authentic flavor.
It's much better than the one I have at home.
The further in you go, the better the scenery becomes.
After some minor repairs, the building was restored to its original appearance.
Lu Xiangze led him to the kitchen.
Su Qiao happened to be there too.
We'll wrap this up today.
She came over to take a look.
Guo Hongjun gave a greeting and then immediately began examining the items.
With a casual wave of his hand, he instantly exuded the aura of a master chef.
These were originally customized to his needs.
It's even more convenient to use.
Guo Hongjun sensed the sincerity of the two men.
He secretly made up his mind that he must make this restaurant even better than the old Guo's!
Now, you need to obtain a license to operate these businesses.
Lu Xiangze has already run there two or three times.
A few days ago, they finally relented.
If I go there today, I can get the certificate.
However, this is only a temporary certificate, and it needs to be renewed when it expires.
Tables, chairs, benches, tableware, decorations.
These are all quite particular.
After a flurry of preparations, Huaixia Restaurant finally opened its doors.
The location here is quite good.
It was lunchtime, and quite a few people were still out looking for food.
Although the food at state-run restaurants is delicious, wealthy people have long been tired of it.
So now they have a little money on hand. They're more inclined to eat at these small restaurants in the alleyways.
The menu was written on a small blackboard and hung at the door.
A stack of more detailed menus was printed out and placed at the front desk.
Having seen menus from later generations, using color photographs seemed too extravagant.
Just paint it.
Next to the signature dishes, there are several thumbs-up signs recommending them.
Braised pork knuckle with garlic sauce, roast duck... and of course, Guo Ji's dim sum.
In this way, Guo Ji will at least not disappear from history immediately.
The first guest to enter looked at the small blackboard hanging on the wall.
I picked up a menu, and the colorful illustrations on it made me long for the dishes.
I immediately chose a spot.
This spot offers a perfect view of the open kitchen.
The aroma quickly filled the air.
The guests couldn't help but swallow hard.
Those who smelled the aroma outside couldn't help but stop and linger.
I followed the smell and came here.
Just then, the kitchen bell rang, and the dishes for the first table of guests began to be served.
This customer is used to eating other flavors of braised pork knuckle.
This is the first time I've made a garlic flavor.
One guest couldn't help but compare the menu with the dishes on the table.
They really are very similar.
Many people immediately decided to eat at this restaurant...
The number of guests is increasing.
After the trial operation, the customer base has stabilized.
At least the initial investment is gradually being recouped.
Su Qiao uses the vegetables she grows in her own space to supply her shop.
Guo Hongjun can't help but sigh every time he cooks.
This smells amazing!
The taste is also very different.
It tastes much better than the vegetables at the market.
"I specially asked someone to grow these vegetables."
"The boss is really patient." Guo Hongjun admired him. The boss had both courage and determination, and he could make up his mind.
These vegetables are clearly carefully cultivated.
It's exactly the same as his pursuit of food.
You should use the best ingredients to cook.
We really made the right choice in choosing this restaurant.
Lu Xiangze went to pick up the twins.
Su Qiao stayed at the shop.
They basically live here now too.
I only go back to my grandparents' house on weekends.
Spend some time with the two elderly people.
Today, Su Qiao and Lu Xiangze were just getting ready to go home.
Then I realized I was being followed.
And it wasn't just one person.
They all had scars or similar marks on their faces.
He doesn't look like a kind person.
Su Qiao and Lu Xiangze looked at each other.
Su Qiao covered the eyes of the two children.
Xiao Huai obediently closed his eyes.
Xia's eyelashes brushed against Su Qiao's palms, making them feel itchy.
I just want to see what's going on.
Su Qiao shook her head; she really had the wrong personality.
Scarface caught up with them, "Why are you two big bosses running? What? So stingy? Can't even afford a few dollars?"
These people have been squatting here for many days.
It was all to stop this family.
If they succeed just once, they can eat for a year.
What if I refuse?
Scarface was only about 1.7 meters tall, and suddenly felt a little insecure in front of Lu Xiangze.
"Then feel free to give it a try." With that, Scarface brandished his knife.
Without saying a word, Lu Xiangze started the fight.
He kicked the man's weapon away.
Then he landed a few more punches, instantly giving the guy a pair of black eyes.
Scarface covered his eyes and wailed.
The brothers behind him stepped forward one after another.
But the next second, these people came in one after another, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
One person, however, took a different approach and wanted to cause trouble for Su Qiao.
But he miscalculated.
Lu Xiangze has the strength of at least a normal adult male.
Su Qiao is different.
Her strength was monstrous.
Especially those who drink Lingquan water year-round.
That strength is incredibly powerful.
With a light kick from Su Qiao, this person fell farther than the others.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Several people stared at that person.
The man was still muttering, "Flying away, flying away..."
My whole body was trembling.
The others panicked too.
Unexpectedly, that woman was even more ruthless.
I didn't even care about the pain anymore.
They ran away, each clutching their own body parts.
Su Qiao: "Am I that scary?"
Lu Xiangze smiled and replied, "How could that be? You are the most adorable, kind, beautiful, and generous."
"Hahaha, you seem like a 'good husband' who's been forced into this situation."
Lu Xiangze let her laugh.
The two left the alley and went home.
Each person can easily hold one child.
The thugs, observing from the shadows: ...Is this really feasible?
"Forget it, if we can't fight him, let's find out more about him. Seventh Brother has been eyeing that house for a long time, but I heard the owner always refused. Why is he willing to rent it to a young couple now?"
Is there something strange about their identities?
Thinking this, the group followed again.
I thought these people wanted to fight again.
I didn't expect them to just follow from a distance.
The two of them then stopped paying attention to it.
They simply reminded the guards at the door not to reveal their identities to anyone.
The guard nodded in agreement.
Sure enough, these people sent out the one with the most decent appearance.
There were no people with injuries on their faces.
He tried to walk straight in, but was stopped.
"Please show your identification!"
The man looked behind him pleadingly.
Everyone shook their heads, so he could only shake his head too.
The guard continued, "No one is allowed to enter without proper identification."
"Then I won't go in. I want to ask someone: who were those two people who just went in?"
"We will not disclose any information about the residents. Please do not linger here!"
The man was indignant. He noticed the guard wasn't looking at him and was about to rush in.
They were subdued immediately.
Hands behind the back.
He could only cry out in pain.
"Stop! I won't do it again! I won't do it again! Please let me go!"
The guards then released the man.
"Do not attempt to break through the checkpoint. If you do so again, you will be handed over to the police immediately."
The man could only retreat reluctantly.
Several people were watching the entrance, along with the guards' uniforms.
I understood immediately.
This is basically a military family compound.
Moreover, the people living inside are probably not simple either.
"Does the boss know where these two people come from?"
"Whether they know or not, now that we know, we have to inform that boss. Otherwise, how are we supposed to survive?"
"What my elder brother said makes sense."
As a result, the men all looked at the man with approval.
The brothers arrived at a restaurant.
He told the owner behind the counter what had happened.
The money in the boss's hand fell to the ground and was scattered all over the place.
"What?"
How come he had never heard of this person before?
“It’s true, our brothers even went to ask, and they wouldn’t let us in; they even chased us away.”
"You didn't do anything, did you?" The boss suddenly changed his mind.
The scarred man didn't answer, feeling guilty.
Is there anything else the boss doesn't understand?
We've already offended them.
"Don't come any closer. Take this money and leave, don't come looking for me again."
The boss picked up the money from the ground and threw it all to the group.
This is significantly less than the amount previously promised.
But there's nothing we can do now.
The scarred man had no choice but to accept it.
He and his brother left dejectedly.
After everyone left.
The owner immediately went outside and hung up a sign saying the business was closed.
We found the residential compound the thugs had mentioned.
There were indeed guards at the entrance.
I just don't know if they actually live there.
The boss squatted against the wall and waited for a while. Good, no one came out.
No one came out until nightfall.
He cursed his bad luck inwardly.
I calculated the time.
Last time, they didn't come back until the evening of the weekend.
The boss strolled back, intending to come back another day.
It's the weekend.
The boss was waiting at the door right on time.
Su Qiao and Lu Xiangze were chatting and laughing as they took their child out.
The boss's heart was ice-cold.
Is there any chance for their relationship to improve...?
