A Divine Farmer

Chapter 381

C381 – There Would be Ghosts in the Gourmet Food!

“What happened?” Seeing the other party’s expression, Zhang Xiaolong knew that there must be something wrong.

“Just now, the Food and Beverage Association sent me an invitation. They said that they want to promote the exchange between our peers. They want to hold a Food Appraisal Conference and invite all the famous chefs from the hotels to participate. Finally, they will be able to determine the best food in Yanjing Hotel.” Although Luh Xiaoya was speaking, the worry in her eyes could not be stopped.

“This is a good thing. What are you afraid of? What else is there that I don’t know?” Zhang Xiaolong asked.

Luh Xiaoya nodded, “We were originally not afraid of any competition, but after chatting with Brother Yang just now, we felt that they were deliberately targeting us. Our reputation has been too famous recently, and it has also caused a lot of jealousy among our peers. The restaurant and catering association suddenly holding an unprecedented gourmet food exhibition at this time must have a purpose, and the president of the restaurant and catering association is Qiu Yuansheng, Qiu Yuquan’s father. It would be strange if there was no ghost in this.”

“So the Qiu family has such a reputation. But don’t worry. The so-called Restaurant and Catering Association is just a collective formed by the various hotels and restaurants to promote everyone’s benefits. It is not something that the Qiu family can decide. We have done our job without any guilt. What is there to worry about?” Zhang Xiaolong chuckled, not taking it seriously.

“It’s not like that, Mr. Xiaolong. The Restaurant and Catering Association will definitely give us a ranking when the time comes. Furthermore, this ranking will definitely be published in the newspaper. Although it is said to be an exchange of pointers, it is actually for the sake of their own promotions.” Luh Xiaoya explained the pros and cons of the matter. “Right now, many restaurants are jealous of our profits and the number of customers. In addition to the relationship between Qiu Yuquan and them, they will definitely join forces to deal with us. The judges might also be their people. At that time, they will directly say that our dishes are worthless. That will definitely affect our restaurant’s reputation. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the Restaurant and Catering Association is an official organization. The evaluation of the judges will definitely be professional. Many people will be misled by them.”

A professional would always seek guidance from a professional. Therefore, some stubborn people would be willing to listen to the expert. Even if the expert told him that he could not eat breakfast without a meal, he would still think about what he should eat before breakfast.

“I understand. I’ll go with you to see what they can do.” Zhang Xiaolong understood the other party’s worries and immediately took the matter into his own hands. “Don’t worry. With me here, even if we get the last place, it won’t affect our business much. In this era, how many people are willing to listen to those experts who came out of nowhere? If there really are some people who are so insensible, it would be a waste for them to eat my dishes. It would be better if they don’t come. It would save me the trouble. Besides, it’s not a big deal that we can’t book a private room in the restaurant. If we let some insensible people leave, we will only have a few genuine customers left. Aren’t they the loyal fans that we have selected for us?”

Luh Xiaoya didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You sure are optimistic, even thinking of such a good idea!”

“On the other hand, I want to see what Qiu Yuquan, who lied to you and wanted to use force, would do. Even if he didn’t do anything, I would have already attacked them. Now, it is even better. He really knows how to stall me. He knows that I am not busy right now, so he hurriedly came over to beat me up. Such a good person is rare nowadays.” Zhang Xiaolong raised his eyebrows and said.

Luh Xiaoya burst into laughter. Since Zhang Xiaolong said it so easily, she instantly felt no burden at all. It was as if that big matter had become unimportant.

“If you need any help, just tell me.” Seeing that Zhang Xiaolong still had other matters to attend to, Jiaang Qin immediately took his leave. “I was not thoughtful enough this time. I brought you some trouble. If in the future, Feng Zihao really wants to cause trouble for you, I will definitely not stand by and watch.”

“That is too polite. You only need to give me two stitches to earn twenty million. I still want Dr. Jiaang to introduce me to such a good thing. It is much better than other things.” Zhang Xiaolong joked.

Jiaang Qin also chuckled. Even if the two stitches could not bring him back to life, the effect was still heaven-defying. He reckoned that even if many people were to go bankrupt, they would not be able to find someone who could stitches them.

Fong Zihao, who was in the Feng Family’s bedroom, slowly woke up.

When he realized that he could move his arms and legs, Fong Zihao was overjoyed. “Dad, I can move again. Is that person here again? This time, I can’t let him leave. I must completely cure him. And that Zhang Xiaolong, this time, I must play him to death!”

Pow!

Another slap ruthlessly landed on Fong Zihao’s face, causing him to be stunned. “You… You hit me again. Zhang Xiaolong is really your illegitimate child?”

“I hit you, you idiot.” Fong Jiancheng was angry and annoyed. “If it wasn’t for Zhang Xiaolong, you would have been lying on the bed until you die!”

“Is he the one who cured me?” Fong Zihao asked doubtfully. “Impossible. How could he be so kind? He was the one who made me like this…”

“Why are you still so stupid? If he can harm you once, he can harm you twice. Before you are sure that you are completely cured, you should look for trouble with him again. Isn’t that just courting death?” Fong Jiancheng scolded.

Fong Zihao finally understood, but he was still unwilling to accept it. “So, we just let it go? He’s just a stinky peasant who knows how to prick his tail with a needle.”

“Wait…” Fong Jiancheng saw that his son had finally regained his rationality, so he said in a gloomy voice, “Of course, we can’t just let it go. You beat my son, and now you want to harm me by spending more than twenty million to give him. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? As long as you are sure that nothing will happen to your body, I’ll see how I make him into nothing. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want here just because you opened a small restaurant? Humph, you’re still very young!”

“…”

The gourmet food gathering was about to arrive soon. Zhang Xiaolong and Luh Xiaoya took the kitchen staff of the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant to participate in the competition.

Yes, they were just kitchen staff. In any case, they were not considered chefs because they were only in charge of cutting vegetables. Other than their knife skills, they had never been in charge of cooking before.

Luh Xiaoya was confused, but since it was Zhang Xiaolong’s decision, she could only listen to him.

Today, she was wearing a black dress. The simple embellishment made her look like a mature woman with a strong aura.

Her small but firm chest was highlighted by her tight-fitting clothes, making her slim figure even more attractive. She looked dignified, but also a bit mysterious and seductive.

Zhang Xiaolong, on the other hand, was dressed in slightly formal clothes. The rest of the unseemly parts were filled with his aura.

The two of them walked into the venue where the gourmet food gathering was held. Naturally, Luh Xiaoya held Zhang Xiaolong’s arm, and the two of them slowly walked into the venue like a couple.

When they stepped into the venue, Luh Xiaoya was still a little nervous. After all, it was her first time facing so many people, and it was a real business event. Furthermore, she knew that these people were hostile towards them, so she was even more vigilant.

“So it’s Manager Luh of the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant. Welcome!” Qiu Yuansheng didn’t even look at Zhang Xiaolong as he reached out his hand towards Luh Xiaoya.
