Xu Qizhen''s Restaurant receives a special guest every day recently.


    The guest is a young woman in her twenties. She wears simple and casual clothes. She always wears all kinds of dresses and pays attention to the materials, but the guest never cares.


    The special thing is that no matter how expensive the skirt is, she always goes with a pair of clogs.


    The restaurant doesn''t have much business. The guys often talk about the only guest.


    Xu Qizhen overheard it and said to them, "she is Japanese."


    The restaurant is a quiet place with the signboard of "Suzhou cuisine", with exquisite decoration, small appearance and remote location. It has only been open for less than two months and has not been famous at all.


    "I can''t tell she''s Japanese at all. She speaks Minnan dialect." A man said, "I can also speak Mandarin, which is better than me."


    Xu Qizhen also understands Minnan dialect.


    She didn''t say anything, and other guests came to the restaurant.


    Xu Qizhen went to the back kitchen.


    This time, a large group of guests came, men and women with three children, two of whom looked like twins.


    "Jingsu side dish." Si Xingpei read the sign and turned to Gu Qingzhou, "are you sure Yan San recommended here?"


    Gu Qingzhou looked at the address: "it''s here."


    They had just returned to Singapore from Huo Yue''s wedding. When they got off the plane, the children said they were hungry.


    Their plane was parked in a remote place. Gu Qingzhou remembered that Yan Ziqing had specially told her that there was a mysterious Soviet restaurant for them to try.


    So instead of going straight home, they went to the restaurant.


    It''s really hard to find the restaurant behind the tennis court, but the facade is exquisitely decorated, and the colorful glass door seems to be inlaid with jewels.


    They had six adults and three children. There was no private room in the restaurant, so they merged the two tables at the back.


    "Jingsu... Now it refers specifically to Nanjing. Is this Jinling cuisine?" Pei Cheng asked the man.


    He is from Nanjing. When he looked at the menu, he found it wrong.


    Many dishes are Jiangsu cuisine, not Jinling cuisine.


    "No, it''s the whole dish." The waiter said as expected, "if it''s guangjinling cuisine, I''m afraid other guests will find the dishes monotonous."


    Pei Cheng took a long time to understand his poor Mandarin.


    Si Xingyu said, "I''d like to marinate fresh and squirrel fish. Whatever else is optional, whether it''s authentic or not."


    Gu Qingzhou said with a smile, "you''re a rude person. Beijing and Jiangsu cuisine is famous for grass. I''ll have a fried Malan head."


    "Jinling cuisine is famous for its duck dishes. I want roast duck." Si qiongzhi said.


    Others ordered one after another.


    It''s not fast to serve, but the dishes are exquisite. You can see the chef''s intentions just from the plate.


    The first course is roast duck.


    Gu Qingzhou thought the crispy roast duck was delicious, and it was almost the same as what he ate in other places. Unexpectedly, Gu Shao was stunned.


    He tasted the red brine.


    Everyone was puzzled.


    Gu Shao also recovered, embarrassed and smiled: "no... it''s all right. I''m a little worried."


    Later, the dishes came up one after another. Si Xinglu and Gu Qingzhou said they were delicious, and Peicheng also said they were authentic and had the flavor of Jinling cuisine.


    Only Gu Shao was silent.


    "Brother, what''s the matter with you?" Gu Qingzhou asked him, "you seem surprised."


    Gu Shao said, "see you."


    Everyone laughed.


    Huamin restaurant is not used to seeing the chef unless it is to find fault.


    "Can I see your chef?" Gu Qingzhou shouted, "it''s delicious. We want to thank him face-to-face and ask him if we can invite him to cook if our family has a banquet."


    The man went to the back kitchen happily.


    Soon, a slim figure came out.


    Everyone was shocked and watched Xu Qizhen come to them.


    Xu Qizhen''s expression was faint: "I didn''t poison you. Don''t worry. This is my restaurant. I want to respect myself."


    There was a terrible silence in the restaurant.


    Even Gu Qingzhou didn''t know what to say for a moment.


    Gu Shao cleared his throat and said, "I tasted the sauce of roast duck and it felt like you made it. Did you really open a restaurant?"


    When they studied abroad, Xu Qizhen was very popular. In addition to taking care of people, she was also good at cooking.


    When she was a child, there was a restaurant in her family. The chef was a royal chef. He liked her very much and often taught her to cut vegetables and carve flowers.


    When she joked with Gu Shao, she also said: "I want to open a restaurant in Yangzhou, just in a quiet place. On weekdays, I can draw and cook when guests come."


    Gu Shao only thought she was joking.


    Unexpectedly, she really did.


    "Well, this was originally my ideal." Xu Qizhen said.


    The atmosphere is weird.


    Everyone didn''t know what to say.


    Just then another guest came. It was a very beautiful and elegant young woman wearing clogs. Xu Qizhen personally entertained her to order and left their table.


    "Yan Laosan said the address, but didn''t say it was his wife''s restaurant?" The Secretary frowned. "What are they doing?"


    Gu Qingzhou shook his head.


    She looked back at Xu Qizhen and found that her condition was much better than before.


    Xu Qizhen slept with Yan Ziqing all night, and then got pregnant. She volunteered to go to England to have a baby and study by the way. Unexpectedly, the matter was exposed.


    A relative of their family happened to meet her, and she was in the obstetrics and gynecology hospital in England.


    Relatives immediately reported the good news to the Xu family and asked the Xu family why Xu Qizhen didn''t inform them of her marriage and told other friends in Nanjing.


    Xu Shaoan and his wife were almost mad.


    They went to England and found Xu Qizhen.


    When Xu Qizhen saw her parents, she ran quickly. As a result, she tripped over the stairs and rolled down. The child in her stomach was only more than three months old. It was at a time when she was unstable that she miscarried after such a fall.


    She was also taken back to Singapore.


    The Xu family asked the Yan family to give an account of Xu Qizhen.


    The master of the Yan family said that Yan Ziqing would marry Xu Qizhen.


    The Xu family didn''t want to, because they felt that the Yan family was an unworthy business, which made them lose their share, but there was no way. Relatives knew that Xu Qizhen was pregnant. It was said that her reputation was all over. Who would she marry?


    The last thing I want is Xu Qizhen.


    She screamed and quarreled with her parents, and because of miscarriage, she completely collapsed. Her parents told her that she would marry Yan Ziqing anyway, and the Xu family couldn''t afford to lose face.


    This was the last straw to crush the camel. She cut her wrists and killed herself.


    Fortunately, he was found by his family, sent to the hospital and found a life.


    Si qiongzhi and Pei Cheng knew about it and told Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpeng.


    Yan Ziqing was always with Xu Qizhen when she was hospitalized. I don''t know what he said. Finally, Xu Qizhen agreed to marry him, but she didn''t have a wedding. She only invited relatives and friends in Singapore to have a simple meal and explain to her parents.


    Gu Qingzhou and his wife were regarded as one of their relatives and friends, so they went.


    The meal was very depressing. Both families felt wronged. The bride and groom didn''t speak all the time.


    Xu Qizhen didn''t even change a new suit of clothes. She sat there as if she were a wooden chicken, with no look in her eyes, like a doll without a soul.


    Now, a few months later, her spirit is a little better than before, and she has returned to her former appearance, at least on the surface.


    "I opened this restaurant to enlighten her." Gu Qingzhou said.


    Xu Qizhen''s spirit is so poor that Yan Ziqing wants to find something to do for her.


    It''s better than eating, drinking and having fun all day.


    After being busy, people will be full and their mood will improve, because the sense of emptiness will make people have time to think and drive people crazy.


    "No wonder Yan Laosan recommended it several times." Si Xingdao.


    Gu Shao looked at Xu Qizhen''s back and said nothing.


    When they got up to leave, Xu Qizhen suddenly shouted to Gu Shao.


    "I made some jam -- osmanthus jam, rose jam, jam and bean paste. You take some back. Your family should like it. It''s all Nanjing flavor." Xu Qizhen said.


    She went to the kitchen without waiting for Gu Shao to answer. Seeing her like this, Gu Shao wanted to have a word with him alone, and she was married. He put down a lot, so he said to Gu Qingzhou, "go first, and I''ll go back by myself."
