2599 A new trick to refill the hotpot
Yin ya was naturally quite satisfied with the Whitefish hotpot prepared by Yuan Zhou. Taking advantage of the lunch time, she enjoyed the rare leisure time with Yuan Zhou, which made her feel very comfortable.
Especially with good wine, delicious food, low fat content and the company of her fiancé, Yin ya really felt that everything was good.
Many of the dishes were prepared in advance. That was why Yuan Zhou could have a rare lunch with Yin ya leisurely. He didn’t have such a good opportunity when he opened his restaurant normally.
However, the time was short. Soon, Yuan Zhou started to get busy again and Yin ya also had to go to work.
Yuan Zhou said a few words and then saw Yin ya off at the back door. After seeing her out of sight, Yuan Zhou returned to the restaurant and walked to the kitchen beside the hotpot and started to get busy.
Most of the diners who came to eat hotpot had already eaten one round and needed to add a second round of dishes.
It couldn’t be helped that in the first round, each of them had only ordered eight or nine dishes. Ten people could imagine how much they had ordered. They wouldn’t be able to finish it without two or three hours.
If it weren’t for the fact that they could finish the food before eight in the evening, these people wouldn’t be so bold. Otherwise, if they couldn’t finish it, they would definitely be blacklisted.
Only a few tables would order dishes in the second round. For example, Wu Hai’s table had Wu Hai and Mao Xiong. Even though they ordered 20 to 30 more dishes than the other tables, they were still the fastest to eat and were also the first to order the dishes in the second round.
At the other tables, some were still eating slowly, while at some tables, there was only one person left. Don’t misunderstand that they didn’t leave after eating, but went out to exercise in order to digest more food. It was a rare opportunity to eat the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou without restraint. If they didn’t eat enough, they would feel that they had lost out.
Therefore, after the smart diners finished the first round, almost all of them left the ones with the biggest appetites behind to slowly eat the dishes that were specially left for them, while the others took the time to go out and practice their digestion.
Two or three of them went shopping together to digest, some ran to digest, and most of them went to the small park not far from Taoxi road to exercise with equipment.
Usually, only a few elderly ladies and grandpas from nearby would come here to walk their grandsons and exercise. At this time, there would be a lot of white-collared workers in exquisite and fashionable clothes, and the gold-collared class would train there, which was a beautiful scenery.
To be honest, these customers definitely had a plan. They were all dressed differently from the usual suits and leather shoes for the hotpot. They were mostly casual, and whether they were men or women, they were almost the same. Otherwise, they were sports-type.
The most obvious thing was the shoes on the diners ‘feet. Even though most of the people in the line were wearing high heels and leather shoes, the people who came to eat the hot pot were almost all wearing comfortable sports shoes, which were light and flexible.
Of course, the ones who were prepared were the old customers. The new customers could only sit around or move around the tables, such as Yan junchang and the others.
He was inexperienced. In order to digest the food in his stomach, he could order other dishes that he was interested in later. He was really trying his best. He jogged around the table. It was only in the small courtyard. If he were in the shops outside, no one would laugh.
After all, they weren’t the only ones who did that. There were other new customers as well. As for the tourists outside, many of them had already gotten used to it. As long as Yuan Zhou was involved, anything could happen.
Even if there were people who occasionally watched the Western scenery, they would soon be told about Yuan Zhou’s deeds and the universality of the current phenomenon.
It was said that every shop owner or peddler who did business on Taoxi road had a Grimoire, which recorded in detail all the major events of Yuan Zhou and his verbal skills on how to deal with all kinds of situations. However, this Grimoire was hidden very well by everyone, as if it was a family heirloom. Apart from the peddler himself, even director Wang and the others had never seen it before. Therefore, they didn’t know whether it was true or not and had never heard of it.
However, groundless rumors might not be without a reason. Yuan Zhou didn’t know about this. He only knew that there was a period of time when the devilish child was exceptionally busy and his business expansion was extremely smooth. He didn’t know if it was related to this.
They ate from noon until the evening when the lights were on. It was completely dark. This was the first time Yan junchang and the others had experienced such a feeling. Although it had been a long time, it felt like it was a short time. They really wanted to seize the last minute to order two more dishes to heat up.
Even though they had a big belly, they were very reluctant to eat. They always felt that no matter how much they ate, it would not be enough. They probably knew that it was impossible to eat hotpot for such a long time no matter where they were. Therefore, even if they felt that they were not satisfied, they did not say it out loud. They were not so thick-skinned.
Yan junchang and Tian penghao had come with a mission. Therefore, even though they had eaten until they were dizzy, they didn’t forget their purpose. After bidding farewell to du Zijun and the others, the two of them didn’t leave Taoxi road but walked around. The cold night wind blew on their faces, taking away the satisfaction brought by the extra delicious food. Their minds had recovered.
When Yuan Zhou’s pub had started to open and Yuan Zhou had yet to get busy, Yan junchang and Yuan Zhou, who had been paying attention to him, finally came to Yuan Zhou.
Yan junchang’s purpose was very simple. He just wanted to invite Yuan Zhou to join the association and make it more worthy of its name. He didn’t dare to think too much about other things.
There was no trouble in joining the Association. Only when the price fluctuated greatly or when there was a major hygiene problem would everyone come forward to solve it. Usually, there were no major problems. After thinking for a while, Yuan Zhou agreed.
Yuan Zhou knew quite a lot about the small hot pot restaurants that charged a lot of fees and weren’t hygienic. For example, when he went out last time, he had been to a small restaurant that was called intestines hot pot out of curiosity. However, it was really hard to explain in a few words.
What left a deep impression on him was the fact that it had broken his usual habit of eating everything regardless of whether it was delicious or not to respect the chef. However, he really didn’t eat much of the intestine hotpot that time.
Not to mention Yuan Zhou who had obsessive-compulsive disorder, ordinary people would not even know if those were clean or not. There were all kinds of duck intestines, goose intestines, chicken intestines, and even goat intestines and beef intestines mixed together, which really made people lose their appetite. Moreover, the price was so high that he almost called to complain.
This kind of Association definitely needed to be reorganized. Yuan Zhou felt that it was not bad to join such an Association.
After Yan junchang’s matter was settled, he felt completely relaxed. He had managed to invite Yuan Zhou to join the association before du Zijun did, which could be considered as ruining his plan. Yan junchang was just a little happy about that.
It wasn’t that du Zijun didn’t want to stay and invite Yuan Zhou tonight. For one thing, he didn’t know that Yan junchang would come to invite him in such a hurry. For another, he didn’t expect Yuan Zhou to be so easy to talk to and agree without saying anything.
Therefore, du Zijun, who planned to go back and make careful preparations, was destined to be disappointed when he came to visit the next morning.
After Yan junchang was done with his business, it was Tian penghao’s turn.
He didn’t say anything at the beginning, but directly put the box he had been carrying since the hotpot on the table, intending to open it.
In order not to smell the hotpot, Tian penghao had even asked Mao Ye to store the hotpot.
Other than the faint aroma of the wood, the box was not very familiar with the hotpot.
