Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Just after the Chinese New Year, Gao Songshan found Zhong Yuemin and talked to him for a long time. Zhong Yuemin finally understood the general idea. "Old Gao! What's going on? Have you decided to open a restaurant?"

Gao Songshan smiled awkwardly, touched his nose, and his eyes flashed with a hint of cunning. "Yuemin, if we open a restaurant, can we sell the wine you brew in the restaurant?"

Zhong Yuemin refused to do it at that time, his eyes widened, as if he had heard something out of the blue. "That won't work. I don't sell my wine to the public. I keep it for myself."

Gao Songshan didn't give up, and a strange arc appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Hehe... Yuemin, don't rush to refuse. If our restaurant has your wine, don't think the business will be booming, right?"

Zhong Yuemin shook his head, looking determined. "No, my wine is not comparable to the ordinary wine on the market. It can't be mass-produced. If I make it myself, wouldn't it be exhausting for me? Besides, I don't have that much time."

Gao Songshan saw this, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly slapped his thigh. "I have a plan. Let's call the wine you brew fairy wine. We can set up a fairy wine area in the hotel, open only to those who are destined to have it. How do you think?"

Zhong Yuemin was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Master Gao, you are really a talent. This idea is quite novel. However, how do you identify this 'predestined person'? Your idea may work in the short term, but it will definitely not work in the long term."

Gao Songshan was in distress. "What should I do? Yuemin, do you have any good ideas?"

"Let me think about it carefully."

"Yuemin, your wine is absolutely amazing. It melts in your mouth and leaves a long aftertaste." Gao Songshan took a sip of the "Forget-Sorrow Wine" and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Zhong Yuemin smiled proudly. "Of course, this is brewed by me with great care."

Gao Songshan put down his wine glass and looked at Zhong Yuemin seriously. "Yuemin, are you really not considering mass production of this wine? Most of the wines on the market are the same and lack novelty. Your wine not only tastes unique, but also has a magical power that can make people forget their troubles. Isn't this what people are pursuing?"

Zhong Yuemin shook his head gently. "Lao Gao, you don't understand yet. The reason why this wine is precious is that it is rare and unique. Once it is mass-produced, its value disappears. I want this wine to be a real limited edition, so that everyone who tastes it can feel its uniqueness."

Gao Songshan nodded helplessly after hearing this. He knew that it was difficult to change what Zhong Yuemin had decided. But he did not give up and continued, "Yuemin, are you really not going to consider it? This is also an opportunity for you to let more people taste your fine wine."

Zhong Yuemin looked at Gao Songshan and smiled faintly. "Old Gao, I know what you mean. But I have my own insistence. This wine is the product of my hard work. I don't want it to be seen everywhere."

Gao Songshan was silent after hearing this. He knew that Zhong Yuemin had made up his mind. He looked at the fine wine in front of him and couldn't help but feel deeply moved. This wine is so unique and so precious. It's a pity that more people can't taste it.

Zhong Yuemin looked at Gao Songshan's expression and patted him on the shoulder gently. "Don't be disappointed, Lao Gao. Although my wine cannot be mass-produced, I have other plans."

Gao Songshan became excited when he heard this. "What's the plan?"

"Lao Gao, let's do this."

Gao Songshan immediately became excited. As long as there was a way, it would be great! "You talk, I listen."

"Your destined person can do it, but you need to make an appointment. There are two to three places available each day. No matter how much money you pay, you can't do it otherwise."

The two of them drank fine wine and talked about their future hotel plans. Their dream was slowly brewing, waiting for the day when it could shine brightest.

After a while, Gao Songshan said again, "Yuemin, after the restaurant opens, I will get 20% of the dividends like Zheng Tiancheng."

Zhong Yuemin asked casually, "Is 20% less or not?"

"It's a lot, I'm very satisfied. Then I'll find a store to rent?"

"Don't rent it, buy it. If you open a branch in the future, it's best to buy it."

Gao Songshan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Are you planning to open a chain store? But that's fine too. If our restaurant becomes popular, maybe we can open three or five branches."

Zhong Yuemin chuckled, a sly look flashing in his eyes. "Three or five? I plan to have our sign in every city, so that when foodies think of delicious food, our restaurant will be the first thing that comes to their mind."

Gao Songshan couldn't help laughing after hearing this. "What a big tone! But I like it. Then we have to give it a resounding name so that customers will never forget it after hearing it."

"As for the name, why not just call it 'Zui Xiang Lou'? My wine plus your dishes, I think they will make me feel ecstatic." Zhong Yuemin said proudly.

Gao Songshan also laughed. "Okay, it's settled. 'Zui Xiang Lou', just hearing it makes me want to try it. But we have to settle the store first."

"Don't worry, as long as the money is in place, finding a store, decorating and arranging it will be no problem." Zhong Yuemin waved his hand, looking relaxed.

Gao Songshan shook his head and reminded with a smile, "I still want to buy the store at the most affordable price, and it has to be in a good Feng Shui location, which is not easy."

"Old Gao! Don't be so stingy. As long as the location is good and the place is big enough, it doesn't matter if it's a little expensive." Zhong Yuemin raised his lips with a confident smile, as if he had already seen the scene of "Zui Xiang Lou" spreading all over the world.

The two smiled at each other, determined, and then they took action. Gao Songshan was responsible for finding a suitable store location, while Zhong Yuemin was only responsible for the funds and related procedures. These were all trivial matters for him, and he didn't even need to show up in person.

From today on, Zhong Yuemin's family no longer had a dedicated chef, but Gao Songshan was very good at dealing with people and had people deliver prepared dishes to them at noon and in the evening.

Since Zhong Yuemin and Gao Songshan opened a restaurant together, the Zhong family's dining table has become more abundant. Gao Songshan took into account that Zhong Yuemin's family had no one to cook, so he took the initiative to prepare meals for the Zhong family in the restaurant. Every day, he would personally select the ingredients, instruct the chef to make dishes that were delicious, and then arrange for someone to deliver them to the Zhong family.

Zhong Yuemin's family was very touched by Gao Songshan's move. Chen Yijun and Zhou Xiaobai often praised Gao Songshan for not only having a good business mind, but also being kind-hearted and a rare good man. Zhou Xiaobai even boasted about his own vision from time to time, and how optimistic he was about Gao Songshan.

Zhong Yuemin also felt that Gao Songshan's actions were not only a way of caring for his family, but also a recognition of their partnership. He knew that such small things were not worth mentioning, but they were a reflection of the deep friendship between friends. He decided that after the hotel became stable, he would repay Gao Songshan in his own way.

As time went by, the restaurant's business became better and better, and Gao Songshan became busier and busier. But no matter how busy he was, Gao Songshan never forgot his promise to deliver meals to the Zhong family. This attentive care made everyone in the Zhong family feel warm and also added more intimacy to the relationship between the two families.

One day, Gao Songshan suggested that since the restaurant's business was so good, they should expand the scale and open a larger branch. After careful consideration, Zhong Yuemin agreed to the proposal. They began to look for a suitable location to take their "Zui Xiang Lou" to new heights.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Zhong Yuemin returned to the dormitory and took a simple shower at the sink. The weather was too hot and humid.

Zhong Yuemin was lying on his bed in the dormitory. Although he had taken a shower, he couldn't help but miss the rural life. He imagined that in the summer in the countryside, he could play and swim freely by the river. He yearned for the feeling of freedom.

Although life in the city is convenient, it always gives people a sense of oppression. Zhong Yuemin feels that people in the city are too busy, running around for life every day, and rarely have time to stop and enjoy the beauty of life. Life in the countryside is different. Although the conditions are a bit more difficult, people's lives are more pure and natural.

As Zhong Yuemin thought about it, he couldn't help but recall his childhood in the countryside in his previous life. At that time, he and his friends often went to the river to catch fish and shrimps, and often sat under the big trees by the river to enjoy the cool and chat. In those days, they had no worries or pressure, but just enjoyed the gifts of nature to their heart's content.

Zhong Yuemin sighed. He knew that he could not go back to his current life. But he still hoped to find a way to live a free and comfortable life in the city.

Zhong Yuemin lamented the trivialities of life. Suddenly, he saw his roommate Liu Minghua lying on the table, writing something attentively. Curious, he walked closer and found that Liu Minghua was writing a long letter, correcting and copying, and every stroke seemed to be extremely serious.

"I say, Old Liu, are you writing a love letter?" Zhong Yuemin joked with a smile.

Liu Minghua grunted for a long time, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and smiled again. "Don't joke around, this is not a love letter, it's a letter I wrote to my wife."

"Oh my, you really care about your wife. You even pay so much attention to writing a letter." Zhong Yuemin came up curiously.

Liu Minghua explained, "My wife doesn't know many words, and she doesn't know complicated words. I have to revise it repeatedly and write it with words she can recognize. If I write it more sloppily, she won't recognize a single word, haha..."

Zhong Yuemin was even more curious after hearing this. "You don't have to draw pictures! Besides, your eldest child is already over 10 years old this year, so he should be in school, right? There shouldn't be any problem for him to read a letter?"

Liu Minghua's face suddenly turned red, and he hesitated for a long time before he said it. "These are just private conversations between husband and wife, how can I let my child know."

Zhong Yuemin laughed out loud after hearing this. It turned out that there was such a little secret behind Liu Minghua's good intentions. A simple letter carried the deep emotions and endless longing between the couple.

Zhong Yuemin carefully made the bed and brewed a cup of fragrant tea. Each of his movements seemed so casual yet full of the charm of life. He asked Liu Minghua with concern, "Is your sister-in-law doing well at home? How is your child's study?" This was not just a simple greeting, but also his deep care and concern for Liu Minghua's family.

Liu Minghua's face was filled with a happy smile, and his words were full of satisfaction with life and longing for the future. "It's good. We measured the land last year and it will probably be contracted to households soon. Although it's a bit hard, there's hope for the future! The children study very hard and are very obedient." When Liu Minghua mentioned the situation at home, every word he said was full of love for life and expectations for the future.

However, when talking about Zhong Yuemin's help to him, a tear of gratitude flashed in Liu Minghua's eyes. "But I am most grateful to you. Zhong Yuemin, thank you so much for helping me. You lent me money without hesitation when my father was sick. Even the current repair business was given to me by you. I owe you a huge favor." His voice trembled slightly, and his gratitude to Zhong Yuemin was beyond words.

Zhong Yuemin just smiled faintly. He knew very well that it was only natural to lend a helping hand to a friend in need. "We are old friends, there is no question of whether we owe each other or not." His words were full of sincerity and warmth.

"That wouldn't work without you..."

"Can you please stop saying such nagging things? I treat you like my own brother. We are only friends in this life and there is no afterlife."

Zhong Yuemin couldn't bear to hear such cheesy words, and gossiped casually, "Did Lin Shufang break up with that guy from Wudaokou College?

Liu Minghua laughed and scolded, "You are really good at slandering people. Qingmu University is just located in Wudaokou, but it is not called Wudaokou College."

"It's pretty much the same."

Liu Minghua chuckled and took a sip of tea. "Yuemin, you are such a gossip! But the two of them have already blown it."

Zhong Yuemin waved his hands. "Come on, I'm not a paparazzi. I just care about Lin Shufang. After all, she is our classmate. Why did the two break up?"

"I heard that the young man has a wife and a child in his hometown in southern Hunan. Isn't this two-timing? So Shufang broke up with him."

Zhong Yuemin was stunned for a moment. "Is this true? Why do I feel that this guy is quite reliable?"

Liu Minghua shook his head. "Alas, you can't judge a person by his appearance. There are not so many good men in this world. You have to open your eyes and see clearly."

Zhong Yuemin sighed. "It seems that Lin Shufang has met the wrong person this time!"

The two were chatting when suddenly a familiar person came over. It was Lin Shufang. Zhong Yuemin called out, "Big sister, why are you here?"

Lin Shufang came over and sat down with a smile. "Great, I just happened to hear you guys talking about me! What bad things are you saying about me?"

Zhong Yuemin asked curiously, "Big sister, I heard that you had sex with that boy from Qingmu University?"

Lin Shufang nodded. "It's over. I was thinking of looking around again, but he was too shabby. He hid from me that he had a wife and a child in his hometown."

Zhong Yuemin's eyes widened. "How could such a thing happen? This grandson is really nothing."

Lin Shufang smiled bitterly. "Reliable men are so rare these days. I have to keep my eyes open and look for them slowly."

Liu Minghua patted Zhong Yuemin on the shoulder. "You see, I've long said that you can't judge a person by his appearance. Lin Shufang should be more careful in the future."

"To be honest, after this incident, I don't plan to look for it anymore."
