Chapter 463: Four hundred sixty-three, the cabbage is finally ripe_1

In the future, terms like "internet-addicted youth" will even emerge.

Sooner or later, Tantan will find out about the existence of games inside the computer.

When Ji Pianran heard that Gu Chen wanted to let Tantan play computer games, she felt a bit resistant at the moment.

"Honey, these computer games won’t be like the gaming consoles, will they?" she asked Gu Chen.

Gu Chen didn’t deceive her and truthfully said, "Nowadays, many companies that produce games overseas are very professional, and the complexity of computer games is simply not comparable to gaming consoles.

So, from a certain perspective, computer games are even more impressive than gaming consoles."

Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran was immediately taken aback.

She didn’t want Tantan to become the kind of aimless loafer often seen in gaming arcades.

"Tantan is so young, is it okay?" she wondered with concern.

"I believe in Tantan," said Gu Chen, addressing Tantan.

At that moment, Tantan also said confidently to Ji Pianran, "Mom, you should trust me, Tantan can definitely do it."

Seeing how harmonious the father and daughter were, Ji Pianran didn’t feel like saying much more.

However, she still wanted to see for herself what was so fun about these computer games.

She arrived at Gu Chen’s study and turned on the computer.

Gu Chen casually downloaded some simple games from the internet.

All of these games were of rough graphics, just like they were made of paper.

Of course, in the eyes of Ji Pianran’s mother, this was already quite frightening.

Because the games in the gaming consoles were all 2D, but there were already 3D games in computers.

The first time people saw 3D games, it was incredibly shocking.

Because the sense of immersion was so much stronger than in 2D games.

These games were all pretty simple, and there wasn’t any complex technology involved, so Gu Chen could demonstrate them himself.

After he played for a while, Tantan sat on Gu Chen’s lap and watched like this.

In less than three minutes, Tantan directly said to Gu Chen, "Dad, is this what a game is? It’s so boring, not as fun as toys."

Her interest faded away in an instant.

Gu Chen smiled slightly, "There will be more fun games in the future, and daddy will teach you how to play them."

"Okay, okay, but I still think they’re not as fun as my toys."

At that point, Tantan had already lost interest in computer games.

Ji Pianran didn’t see what was fun about these games either.

Seeing the reaction of the mother and daughter, Gu Chen could only helplessly shake his head.

They had no idea that in just a few years’ time, these computer game companies would be creating revenues exceeding a hundred million, shocking everyone.

Computer games would completely crush gaming consoles to pieces.

When Ji Pianran returned to the room, she was still preoccupied with the incident that had occurred at Qiwei Vegetarian that morning.

"Honey, should I send one of our company’s lawyers over to you temporarily, just in case someone comes to cause trouble again?"

She was considering it wholly for Gu Chen, as there were lawyers in her own corporation.

"It’s okay, don’t worry, I have a plan," Gu Chen said gently.

Gu Chen didn’t take these matters to heart.

After all, no scandalous headlines had been made in the newspapers, so the incident wasn’t serious.

His only worry was the cost the person behind the scenes willing to bring down Qiwei Vegetarian was ready to pay.

What if one day they found someone with cancer, bought a Qiwei Vegetarian breakfast, and then, after eating Qiwei Vegetarian’s food at home, suddenly died.

And it was with Qiwei Vegetarian’s food that they died of illness.

That would definitely make headlines now, and Qiwei Vegetarian would probably have a hard time reopening.

Boss Gu was well aware that nowadays, there’s no shortage of dirty tricks and scams are all too common.

Even because it’s not that strict yet, there are a lot of areas where the law needs to be amended.

If a death were to occur now, it would be a big deal, but the cost would be much lower than in a few years.

Ji Pianran saw that Boss Gu truly didn’t need her help at all, so she had no choice but to give up.

That night, before going to sleep, Boss Gu took a glance at the Spiritual Spring.

To his amazement, his Chinese cabbage had finally ripened.

Boss Gu was so moved he almost cried; after waiting for so long, he was finally seeing the fruits of his labor.

This Qianlong cabbage had been on Boss Gu’s mind for so long, and now he could finally show his prowess.

Having had that thought, Boss Gu decided to go to Qiwei Vegetarian the next morning to see the results.

In total, there were thirty cabbages, each one could make ten dishes, so thirty cabbages could produce three hundred dishes.

From these three hundred dishes, it would be clear whether the patrons would accept this new dish or not.

The next day, on his way to the shop, Boss Gu bought a chalkboard.

Then he wrote on the board, "Qiwei Vegetarian introduces a new cold dish, Qianlong Cabbage—only 19 yuan!"

He placed this sign at the entrance to inform all the patrons that Qiwei Vegetarian had added a new dish after many days.

Today, the kitchen was entrusted to Boss Gu, and Xiao Fang had to re-enter as an apprentice, unfamiliar with the new cuisine she had to learn.

When it came time for the lunch rush, the first customer who came in was intrigued by the chalkboard at the door.

"Boss, I’ll have a serving of your new Qianlong cabbage," he said with interest as a regular customer of Qiwei Vegetarian.

He was curious about what made this mere cabbage worth nineteen yuan.

Having eaten at Qiwei Vegetarian for so long, each visit had brought him a surprise, and he hoped that today would be no different.

The customer ordered a serving of Qianlong cabbage, and Boss Gu focused intently on making this one dish.

The ingredients for the cabbage were quite simple, just the normal ingredients for Qianlong cabbage.

If there had to be one difference, it was only one.

It was that Boss Gu’s cabbage, in both color and texture, far surpassed that of ordinary cabbage.

But this one point alone was a formidable weapon for Boss Gu.

The clientele of Qiwei Vegetarian were people with an extreme demand for culinary excellence.

Boss Gu’s Qianlong cabbage was of a quality that was absolutely far superior to that of other restaurants.

Soon, a bowl of Qianlong cabbage was ready and Xiao Ping brought it to the man’s table.

The man first sniffed at it, but didn’t seem to discern anything special, and then he took a bite of the Qianlong cabbage.

After bringing the cabbage to his mouth, his body suddenly stiffened.

Looking at the bowl of Qianlong cabbage, it was as if he was beholding a high and unattainable figure.

"This cabbage! This cabbage! How could it have such a taste!" Amazed, he tasted it again, worried that he had experienced a hallucination or there was something wrong with his taste buds the first time.

There were only six leaves of cabbage in each serving of Qianlong cabbage.

This customer found it more delicious than plain rice and quickly finished it in less than ten minutes.

Feeling quite satisfied, he couldn’t help but give Boss Gu a thumbs-up.

"Boss Gu, your cabbage is truly unmatched, past and future!"
