When the reporters saw that they could not get any questions from Xie Jiagui and his party and were even asked to leave by Xie Jiagui, they immediately asked to eat in the restaurant, thinking that Xie Jiagui would have no reason to kick them out.
Xie Jiagui certainly would not refuse the business that came to his door, so he patiently prepared meals for them.
The reporters also specifically requested to order the same meal that Hao Guojian had eaten that day, and told Xie Jiagui that every dish must be exactly the same, without missing a single one.
Xie Jiagui and Zhong Xiuying both twitched their lips when they heard this.
They are really impressed by these people and don't understand the point of these reporters doing this.
Xie Jiagui shook his head and went into the kitchen to start cooking.
After all the dishes were served, the reporters first took out their cameras to take pictures of the dishes from every angle.
Then they asked Xie Jiagui to explain to them, especially Hao Guojian's favorite dish, and asked Xie Jiagui to explain it in detail.
Xie Jiagui knew very well what these people were planning, which was to attack indirect ways, and their target was still Hao Guojian.
Xie Jiagui described each dish, and only said in general terms that Hao Guojian was not picky about his food and was very satisfied with every dish.
Seeing that Xie Jiagui didn't want to say more, the reporters started eating the food on the table.
The moment they picked up their chopsticks to eat, their eyes lit up with surprise.
"This mapo tofu is so tender, try it."
"I want another bowl of vegetable soup."
The reporters were completely focused on the meal, and the group of people were eating with great interest.
Seeing that they finally stopped making trouble and ate their food obediently, Xie Jiagui's mouth corners slightly raised.
After returning, many reporters wrote food reviews about the Imperial Kitchen, which were basically all favorable, praising every dish in Xie Jiagui's restaurant, even the appetizers.
Those who bought newspapers saw it and almost drooled. Gradually, more and more people were attracted to the imperial kitchen to eat, even including gourmets, writers and TV stations.
The imperial kitchen suddenly became popular.
It became popular not only throughout the city, but also throughout the province, and even people from outside the province came to visit.
There were even many wealthy people who came to Xie Jiagui in person and asked to cooperate with him and invest in his restaurant.
Xie Jiagui and his companions were overwhelmed by these people, so they did not dare to agree easily and just said they would consider it.
Pei Tiantian finally understood after she learned about this from Zhou Wanhong.
In the novel, the restaurant run by Xie Jiagui became popular so quickly because of the cadre Hao Guojian. It was the celebrity effect brought by him that officially made the Imperial Kitchen famous.
However, if the food at Xie Jiagui's restaurant is really not that delicious, the anger will probably dissipate quickly.
It is precisely because Xie Jiagui possesses superb cooking skills that he is able to retain customers.
The success of the Imperial Kitchen was not accidental, but inevitable.
Pei Tiantian supported her chin with her little hands and sighed.
Although her uncle Zou Hao listened to Pei Tiantian and returned to the village.
He also went to pay homage to Zou Min and his parents' graves as soon as possible. However, he did not choose to stay in the Pei family. Instead, he returned to the old house of the Zou family, cleaned up the house that had been uninhabited for a long time, and moved in.
The Pei family asked him several times what had happened in the past few years, but he avoided the question.
The Pei family really had no other choice.
Zou Hao stayed in the old house of the Zou family all day long and rarely even went out. It was obvious that he was very lonely.
Pei Tiantian was very worried about him. She could see that Zou Hao had a very hard time in recent years and was full of worries.
So on weekends, Pei Tiantian took Gu Rong to the Zou family's old house to visit him.
Who knew that the two of them would run into Zou Hao who was packing his luggage to go out.
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
Pei Tiantian asked with her eyes wide open.
Zou Hao looked at his little niece, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, "Tiantian, I want to leave here."
"Where are you going? This is your home. Where else can you go, uncle?"
Zou Hao's eyes were dim. He looked at the place not far away and said in confusion, "Uncle doesn't know either. He only knows that I can't stay in the village, and I can't get too close to you guys."
"Why?" Pei Tiantian didn't understand. She stretched out her arms and hugged Zou Hao's uninjured leg. "No, uncle. Tiantian doesn't want you to leave."
"Tiantian, let me go."
"Uncle, unless you promise me not to leave, Tiantian will never let you go."
Zou Hao was helpless in front of his niece. He sighed deeply, "Tiantian, your uncle has offended someone. Your uncle cannot implicate you or your grandmother's family. Do you understand? Just let your uncle go. Your uncle can live well on his own."
"Uncle, please stop lying. Tiantian knows that you are not doing well. No matter how big a person you offend, Tiantian is not afraid. Tiantian only knows that you are Tiantian's uncle. If anyone bullies you, Tiantian will never let him go!"
Pei Tiantian raised her little face and looked at Zou Hao with tears in her eyes, "Uncle, let Tiantian protect you, please don't leave."
Zou Hao looked at the little girl hugging his legs tightly, and his heart was slightly shocked, "Tiantian..."
"You are still young, you don't understand how powerful the person uncle offended is. That person not only caused uncle to lose several comrades, but also caused uncle to fall into this situation. That person's power is very large, almost covering the sky with one hand. As long as it is under his nose, he will not allow uncle to live a good life. People who are close to uncle will also encounter misfortune," Zou Hao looked at Pei Tiantian with sad eyes, "Tiantian, uncle doesn't want you to get hurt, so just let uncle go."
Pei Tiantian was also shocked when she heard what Zou Hao said.
It turns out that Zou Hao was unwilling to recognize them and had been unwilling to come back in the past few years because he had offended some big shot!
Pei Tiantian felt distressed, "Uncle, even if you offended the emperor, Tiantian is not afraid, and will not let you go!"
After saying that, Pei Tiantian hugged Zou Hao's legs even tighter with her arms.
Zou Hao was helpless for a moment.
"Uncle Zou, Huangsha Village is so remote, it's safer for you to stay here than anywhere else outside, so you should stay."
Gu Rong suddenly spoke.
Zou Hao turned his gaze to Gu Rong beside him.
These days, Zou Hao learned from Pei Tiantian that although Gu Rong was an orphan, he had excellent academic performance, was very smart and sensible, and treated his niece Pei Tiantian almost like his own sister.
So he also had a good impression of this child.
Zou Hao: "Gu Rong, uncle doesn't want you to take any risks. That person thought my whole family was dead, so he left me to live on. If he knew that I still have so many relatives in the village, it would really not be good for you at all."
"Uncle Zou, have you never thought about revenge?"
Gu Rong looked at him with his dark eyes and said calmly.
"Revenge?" Zou Hao's face was full of self-mockery, and his expression became a mixture of crying and laughing. "Kid, have you ever heard of a saying? An ant trying to shake a tree is overestimating one's own ability. A useless person like me, with a lame leg, how can I have the ability to take revenge?"
"Uncle is not a useless person!" Pei Tiantian said angrily.
She got angry when she heard Zou Hao say these discouraging words, "Uncle, Tiantian's master is very powerful. No one has better medical skills than him. As long as my master is here, your leg will definitely recover."
It seems that Zou Hao didn't believe Pei Tiantian's words, because Pei Tiantian was only six years old, and the words of a six-year-old child were hard for Zou Hao to believe.
He just thought Pei Tiantian was comforting him, so he didn't say anything.
When Pei Tiantian saw Zou Hao's expression of disbelief, she immediately turned her head and gave the villain a look, asking him to help persuade Zou Hao.
Gu Rong saw Pei Tiantian winking at him, her face wrinkled up, he silently retracted his gaze, "Tiantian is telling the truth, Tiantian's master is also Lin Chao's master."
Zou Hao was suddenly stunned, "Lin Chao? The medical master Lin Chao?"
Gu Rong nodded.
Zou Hao's originally dead heart suddenly started beating.
When his legs were sentenced to death by the hospital, the doctor told him that he would not only be lame for the rest of his life due to permanent damage to his meridians, but would also suffer from frequent pain attacks.
The doctor also told him that if he wanted to recover, only the acupuncture of the medical master Lin Chao could cure him.
But everyone knows that Lin Chao is a leading figure in the medical field, and those who can come into contact with him are all people from the upper class. How could Lin Chao treat him?
But now, Tiantian has become Lin Chao's master, which means that Tiantian is Lin Chao's junior sister, right?
Zou Hao's pupils constricted. This was too unbelievable.
"Uncle, Brother Gu Rong never lies. You can believe me now, right?"
Zou Hao's lips moved, "I..."
"Uncle Zou, don't you want to heal your leg and then seek revenge on that man? Since that man killed several of your comrades, why would you let him go so easily?"
Gu Rong looked at Zou Hao expressionlessly.
He understood Zou Hao's fear and his concerns, but he could not agree with them.
If he were Zou Hao, even if he had a lame leg, he would try his best to die together with the person who harmed him. No matter what the price, Gu Rong would not regret it.
Gu Rong knew that his thoughts had always been somewhat extreme, but he didn't want to change himself.
If those people from the He family really want to get him back in the future, he will only have this attitude.
"It's no use trying to shake a tree with an ant. Rather than living in a muddleheaded way like now and being controlled by others, it's better to take the initiative and attack."
Gu Rong said.
Zou Hao raised his eyes and looked at Gu Rong in shock. He didn't expect Gu Rong to say such a thing.
Is this something a child could say?
Pei Tiantian also looked at Gu Rong in surprise.
As expected of the villain, his ideological awareness is very high.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, this has always been the style of the villain boss.
After the villain became the leader of the He family, he dealt with all those who had targeted him.
Zou Hao looked at Gu Rong's expressionless face, and only then did he realize that although Gu Rong looked taciturn, his words and actions were full of ruthlessness.
If he grows up a little more and joins the army for training, he might become a terrible person in the future.
However, when Zou Hao thought about what had happened in the army, he shook his head.
Forget it. Gu Rong has such good grades that he can go to college without any problem. But he would be happiest if he lives an ordinary life.
He chose to be a soldier because he was a poor student. He worked his way up through the ranks with great difficulty and became the fastest-promoting young officer in the army. He was praised by many people for his bright future.
Therefore, as he was young and hot-headed, he did not know how to be tolerant when facing that person, and he could not tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes. As a result, he offended that person and was thrown into the eighteenth level of hell, with no chance of reincarnation.
In the end, Zou Hao was slandered by that person, saying that the death of his comrades was due to his improper command as the captain.
At that time, Zou Hao was expelled from the army while dragging a wounded leg. He lost his job, his honors, and everything.
Although Zou Hao never felt that there was anything wrong with what he did, the fact that he caused the innocent deaths of his closest comrades made him feel regret for the first time.
Back then, he was indeed too immature, naive and stupid, and he just thought that rules and regulations had to be followed.
Little do people know that there are some people who are a privileged group that overrides rules and regulations.
When he thought of this, Zou Hao couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes reddened.
Does he want revenge?
He wanted to, of course he wanted to, he thought about it every moment and every minute.
In his dreams at midnight, the scene of his comrades' tragic death kept replaying before his eyes.
Zou Hao wished he could drink that man’s blood and eat that man’s flesh to avenge them and himself!
But when I wake up every morning, my sanity returns.
The thought that the man was born in the big family Xiao in Beijing, and was the most beloved grandson of Mr. Xiao.
The fire of hatred in Zou Hao's heart was completely extinguished by reality.
The Xiao family is like a giant to him.
How could he win?
As long as the Xiao family is willing, there are countless people below who are willing to be their executioners and get rid of themselves.
Zou Hao knew that he had completely lost confidence and was afraid.
So he just found a job and worked at it in a daze in an attempt to numb himself.
But Gu Rong's words were like a bucket of cold water that woke him up.
Gu Rong was right, how could he become such a coward!
Even if that person is the emperor, what does it matter? Even if it costs his own life, Zou Hao will make that person pay the price, otherwise what is the meaning of living in this world!
Zou Hao closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the confusion in his eyes had faded away, replaced by a sense of determination.
He bent down and picked up Pei Tiantian, "Tiantian, uncle won't leave. Uncle wants to treat his leg. Can you take me to see your master?"
Pei Tiantian's eyes widened in surprise, she hugged Zou Hao's neck, and said with a smile: "Uncle, have you figured it out?"
Zou Hao smiled with a complicated expression, "Gu Rong is right, and you are right too. I was too timid and kept avoiding it, unwilling to face the reality. I was wrong, and I will never give up on myself again. I will cheer up and try my best to make those who hurt me pay the price they deserve!"
