Today was Monday, the day the "Mrs Zhou Restaurant" would open.

The opening of the Mrs Zhou Restaurant was extremely lively. Lu Shiping had specially invited a group of people to dance lion in front of the restaurant to liven up the show.

Amidst the loud and clear firecrackers, Yan Tong and Lu Shiping pulled open the red embroidered cloth that was covering the signboard, revealing the "Mrs Zhou" logo as well as the words "Mrs Zhou Restaurant".

The surrounding crowd also gave a round of applause.

For today's opening, Zhou Hao and Wang Xijun had specially taken a day's leave to come over to help, and even Situ Jianying had come over to entertain the guests together with Wang Xijun.

A reporter from the Xiang City Television Station had come early, driving a camera to interview Yan Tong.

Yan Tong had never encountered such a situation before, and at first, sshe was not helpless to it. Fortunately, Lu Shiping was by her side, and after that, he was able to handle it easily.

When the reporter left, he tactfully sent a red packet to those reporters, causing them to smile brightly.

In front of the restaurant, there were flower baskets delivered by others placed all over the place. On the way, many merchants had sent flower baskets to Mrs Zhou's restaurant.

They knew that the previous owner of this restaurant was the tyrannical Huo Liang's hardware store. If even Huo Liang submitted to the owner of this restaurant, then the surrounding merchants would not dare to offend them and they all expressed their goodwill towards him.

A few people noticed that there were two flower baskets in front of Mrs Zhou's restaurant. The names on the baskets were actually Gao Houlu and Situ Li, they immediately remembered that this restaurant had a deep relationship with the government.

Gao Houlu and Situ Li had a close relationship with Zhou Hao, but they did not come personally, so it might cause some bad effects, so they had to send their own secretaries to send over flower baskets.

In order to attract customers, Zhou Hao made the restaurant sell its food at half price for the first three days.

Thus, when the store was opened today, a large number of people rushed in like a flock of ducks. Soon, it filled up more than a hundred square meters of the storefront.

The food in the restaurant was very varied. Not only were there dishes, there were also various kinds of dessert and beverages. The most popular one was the "Silk Socks Milk Tea".

Everyone was very curious about this Hong Kong specialty drink, and after tasting it, they would praise it endlessly. As for the food in the dining hall, Zhou Hao emphasized on its taste and freshness.

Therefore, everyone felt that this dish that was made did not look like a fast food dish at all. It was much more delicious than the dishes found in many hotels.

By noon, when school was dismissed, a large number of students who had received the news rushed out from the school to visit the newly opened restaurant, forming a long line in front of the door.

Even Li Ruolan, Gao Jingyi, Liu Shichao and Luo Hui had come, so Zhou Hao had long since left them a table.

Seeing the lively scene in the dining hall, Li Ruolan and the others were very surprised. At the same time, they were happy for Zhou Hao.

When they tasted the food from the restaurant, they were even more impressed.

Liu Shichao wolfed down his food as he said, "It's much better than the food in the academy's dining hall. Compared to you guys, those dishes in the dining hall are like pig food!"

The cooks and waiters in the kitchen were busy, but no one was tired. They were filled with a sense of fulfillment and relief.

Yan Tong and Lu Shiping, on the other hand, were even more elated. The two of them looked at each other, and saw excitement and satisfaction in each other's eyes.

"Business is not bad." Zhao Yuqin also drove over, and was shocked when she saw that the restaurant was packed.

"Elder sister, why did you just arrive?" Zhou Hao held Zhao Yuqin's hand and laughed.

Zhao Yuqin extended her jade and pointed it at his forehead. "Isn't it all because of you?

I've got a couple of players in Hong Kong to help you manage the money, and I've put all of them on the market by now. "

"Thank you elder sister." Zhou Hao said as he held Zhao Yuqin's arm.

Just then, Zhao Yuqin took out a purple crystal mountain and passed it to Zhou Hao, "Here, this is to congratulate your restaurant's opening ceremony."

Zhou Hao looked at the purple crystal mountain in shock. He estimated that it must have been worth more than a hundred thousand. Just as he wanted to thank Zhao Yuqin, he saw her rebuking gaze.

He also understood that they were related so it would be strange for him to thank them. Although the 100,000 yuan was not a small amount, it was insignificant compared to the money they had.

When Yan Tong and Lu Shiping saw that Zhao Yuqin had come, they quickly came out to welcome him.

The reason the Mrs Zhou Restaurant was successfully opened was because Zhao Yuqin had contributed greatly to it. Therefore, both Yan Tong and Lu Shiping were extremely grateful to Zhao Yuqin.

Looking at the long line of people in front of the restaurant, mixed with the students and adults, Zhao Yuqin laughed: "It looks like you guys are preparing to open a branch shop."

Yan Tong said: "This is only the first day of business, we don't dare to think about the matter of the branch guilds so quickly."

"You can't say that." Zhao Yuqin laughed: "Look at the restaurant's popularity, we have to take over the market as soon as possible before anyone else can catch up."

Zhou Hao also nodded his head, "Actually, that's what I thought too. Although it is only the first day of business, our restaurant is still very popular.

This is especially true for students. Their group's ability to consume is extremely huge. We cannot let go of this opportunity. "

He said to Yan Tong and Lu Shiping: "Mom, Auntie Lu, didn't you also see a pretty good store in front of the Second High School's main entrance? If it's suitable, we can take it."

Hearing Zhao Yuqin and Zhou Hao's words, Yan Tong and Lu Shiping were slightly moved, not to mention that in this first restaurant in Mrs Zhou, Yan Tong and the others did not even spend much money.

Huo Liang gave the shop to Zhou Hao free of charge, he even compensated him with 100,000 yuan, and even the decorations were done by someone else.

Thus, this restaurant could be considered a "business without a basis". The one hundred thousand that Yan Tong had prepared could be used to prepare for the second shop.

"But I'm afraid we can't manage two stores." Yan Tong voiced out her worries.

"You don't need to do this yourself. You just need to have a shop manager. Mom, you and Auntie Lu don't need to manage the shop. You just need to manage the people and the money." Zhou Hao laughed.

Thus, Yan Tong and Lu Shiping would manage the restaurant in front of the Yining Middle School gate and prepare the branch shop in front of the Xiang City 2 High School at the same time.

The popularity of the restaurant was also far beyond Yan Tong and company's expectations.

After the opening three days, the prices of the food and beverages in the restaurant officially returned to their original prices, but it did not hinder the enthusiasm of the customers.

Even if the original price was restored, it wouldn't be much higher than other fast food restaurants. Furthermore, the food here was delicious and the environment was good. Other fast food restaurants couldn't compare to this place.

Especially when Zhou Hao introduced the concept of a "non-smoking area", where customers and waiters were not allowed to smoke in the store, it made the students very satisfied.

In the beginning, some smokers were very averse to the "non-smoking area", and some wanted to take advantage of the situation.

However, every time they did so, a few tall and sturdy men would drag them out to teach them a lesson. Over time, no one dared to cause trouble in Mrs Zhou's dining hall.

Those muscular men were all Huo Liang's subordinates, and after Huo Liang heard that Zhou Hao and Zhao Dingzhou were also close with the commander in chief of the military, he tried his best to express his goodwill towards Zhou Hao.

Furthermore, even Wen Xiangdong, the strongest in the Xiang City, was extremely respectful to Zhou Hao, so Huo Liang did not feel that it was shameful at all to surrender to Zhou Hao. Instead, he was proud of it.

With Huo Liang secretly watching over them, no one dared to find fault with the restaurant in this area, creating a good business environment for it.

Zhou Hao made the Mrs Zhou Restaurant follow a path of "profit more than gain", and paid more attention to the establishment of a reputation.

The real world did not disappoint Zhou Hao. Under the intentional propaganda from Xiang City Television Station, the Mrs Zhou Restaurant quickly became famous in the Xiang City.

Many students from other schools had specially come to visit, hence the Mrs Zhou Restaurant had a nickname: "Student Restaurant".

At the same time, the students of the other schools had also requested the Mrs Zhou Restaurant to open a branch near their school. And the profits of the restaurant made Yan Tong and Lu Shiping extremely excited.

Other than the various costs, the Mrs Zhou Restaurant already had a profit of over 50,000 yuan in just the first month alone. This further strengthened their determination to open branch stores.

His days were peaceful and fulfilling, Zhou Hao's life was also very comfortable.

They could see Li Ruolan and Gao Jingyi in school, have flirtatious conversations with Wang Xijun at home, and even occasionally go out with Situ Jianying or Zhao Yuqin to play.

It made Zhou Hao feel as if he was living in a flower bush.

As the final exam approached, Zhou Hao did not spend all his time and effort on handling the exam, this level of exam was nothing to him, passing it was as easy as flipping his hand.

Therefore, in this period of time, he only focused on two aspects. The first was the information about the stock markets of Hong Kong and other countries around the world, and he combined it with his memories from his previous life to remotely manage the amount of money in the Hong Kong futures market.

On the other hand, he had read the entire《 Shen Nong's Herbal Classic s》 in detail. He had already informed Yan Tong, Wang Xijun and the others that he would use the winter break to go with Xiao Jiming to look for the origin of the medicinal ingredients, and had obtained Yan Tong's permission.

She had met Xiao Jiming before, and knew that he was a young man who needed to be looked after. Furthermore, she knew that Zhou Hao's son was very independent, so she wasn't worried that they would go out.

At this time, Zhou Hao was in his own room holding the < Shen Nong's Herbal Classic > in his hands.

Closing the book, he closed his eyes, and the contents of "Shen Nong's Herbal Classic" appeared in his mind. Then, he took out a fire engine.

After Zhao Dingzhou's reminder, he knew that if people found out that he had grasped a large amount of miraculous medicinal formulas, he would fall into a dangerous situation where he could be targeted.

Therefore, he definitely could not let anyone else know of the existence of "Shen Nong's Herbal Classic".

In this period of time, he had memorized all the contents of < The Shen Nong's Herbal Classic s > and even copied down the herbal drawings inside the book.

As for the "Classic of the Blue Sack", he had similarly memorized all the "Five Birds of a bitch" and "Qi Nurturing Record" within it.

Then, he would destroy the 'Cyan Sack Scripture' so that it would not fall into the hands of the evil people and become a lethal weapon.

Using the fire engine, he placed the《 Shen Nong's Herbal Classic》 on top of the flame.

The book quickly started to burn. Looking at the flames, Zhou Hao thought that the [Shen Nong's Herbal Classic s] would only exist in his mind from now on.

However, Zhou Hao suddenly realized that there was a page in《 Shen Nong's Herbal Classic》 that had expanded towards the sides when it was burned, just like a pancake that had been thrown into an oil pan.

After being stunned for a moment, Zhou Hao immediately extinguished the fire, because that page was clearly stuck together by two pieces of paper, and only then would it expand during the process of being heated.

In other words, there was something hidden in the middle of the page!
