Linglong took Xu Tingshan's arm and said coquettishly, "Hubby, let's eat hot pot. It's so cold." Xu Tingshan touched her head, thought about it and said, "Okay, yes, let's call a few people to eat together."

So Xu Tingshan took out his phone and started contacting people. Soon, his friends Xiao Li, Xiao Wang and Lao Zhang from next door all agreed to come over to join in the fun.

Everyone arrived at the hot pot restaurant one after another and sat together in a lively atmosphere. But not long after eating, Xiao Li suddenly looked troubled. It turned out that he had just received a call from the company, saying that there was a problem with an urgent project and he had to go back immediately to deal with it.

Just when everyone was feeling a little disappointed, Xiao Wang mysteriously took out a bottle of fine wine that he had collected for many years from his bag and said, "Let's continue. Don't let work ruin your mood. This fine wine goes really well with the hot pot!" The atmosphere instantly became lively again.

However, an unexpected climax came. Halfway through the meal, the power suddenly went out in the restaurant, and everyone was plunged into darkness. Just as everyone was panicking, Xu Tingshan calmly took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight, and smiled to comfort everyone: "Don't be afraid, let's continue eating, it will be a different flavor!" Unexpectedly, with the help of the light from the mobile phone, Linglong actually found that the necklace she had been wearing on her neck was missing.

Everyone helped to look for it, and finally found the necklace in a corner under the table. This little twist made everyone feel each other's warmth and care in the cold weather, making this hot pot meal even more memorable.

Xu Tingshan and his group were sitting around the hot pot, laughing and chatting, the atmosphere was lively. The ingredients in the pot were bubbling, and the aroma filled the whole room.

Just when everyone was enjoying their meal, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Li Zhenye and Sun Yao rushed in. Li Zhenye looked a little dissatisfied and said loudly: "I heard you were having hot pot, why didn't you invite us!" Sun Yao also echoed from the side. Xu Tingshan hurriedly explained with a smile: "I was afraid you were busy, so I didn't invite you. Now that you are here, it's just right to prepare another table."

After Li Zhenye and Sun Yao sat down, a new table was quickly prepared. The hot pot was boiling again, and everyone was chatting while eating. But as they were chatting, Li Zhenye's face suddenly became solemn. He put down his chopsticks and his eyes were a little evasive. Xu Tingshan noticed something was wrong and asked, "Zhenye, what's wrong with you?" Li Zhenye hesitated again and again, and finally said, "In fact, Sun Yao and I didn't come here by chance today. We got a message that the hot pot restaurant we often eat at will be acquired and converted into a shopping mall soon." When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, and the originally cheerful atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

I don't know who broke the silence first and said, "Then we must cherish this gathering!" Everyone nodded and started eating again. However, at the end of the meal, Sun Yao smiled mysteriously, took out a stack of documents from his bag, and shouted excitedly, "Friends, don't be sad! Zhenye and I have been busy these days. We have pooled our money to buy this hot pot restaurant! We can eat whenever we want in the future!" Everyone was shocked at first, and then burst into cheers, and the lively atmosphere in the hot pot restaurant reached a new climax.

Li Zhenye and Xu Tingshan have been good friends for many years. They both have a unique love and pursuit for food. One day, they were feasting in a hot pot restaurant, watching the restaurant bustling with people and business was booming.

Li Zhenye put down his chopsticks and said to Xu Tingshan, "Look, the hot pot restaurant is doing so well, why don't we buy it and run it ourselves?" When Xu Tingshan heard this, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He turned to look at his wife Linglong beside him. Coincidentally, Linglong had the same idea, and the couple smiled at each other.

After discussing it, the four of them went to find the owner of the hot pot restaurant. The owner was a shrewd middle-aged man. When he heard their intention, he smiled calmly and said, "This restaurant is doing very well, and the prices are not low." Li Zhenye and Xu Tingshan felt nervous, but they still firmly expressed their sincerity.

After a lot of hard bargaining, the two sides still couldn't reach an agreement on the price. Just when they thought the acquisition was hopeless and were about to give up, things suddenly took a turn for the better.

It turned out that the area where the hot pot restaurant was located was about to be demolished and renovated. The owner was anxious to sell it and took the initiative to lower the price. Li Zhenye and Xu Tingshan were very excited and immediately pooled their money to buy the hot pot restaurant.

Just when they were happily preparing to make a big move, they found that the old employees of the hot pot restaurant had backed out after hearing the news of the demolition, and it was difficult to recruit new employees. Moreover, when the specific demolition plan was announced, the area where the hot pot restaurant was located was temporarily not included. This news caused the previously hot business to plummet.

Faced with this sudden predicament, Li Zhenye, Xu Tingshan and Linglong did not back down. They worked together to come up with a series of innovative business strategies to attract customers again and eventually restore the hot pot restaurant to its former bustle.

Xu Tingshan and Li Zhenye have always dreamed of owning a restaurant of their own. After years of hard work, they finally opened a hot pot restaurant.

At first, the business was relatively stable, and the two could handle it, and occasionally had some free time. However, as word of mouth spread, the hot pot restaurant became more and more famous, and customers flocked to it.

From purchasing fresh ingredients in the early morning, to preparing in the afternoon, to busy reception in the evening, Xu Tingshan and Li Zhenye were like clockwork machines, never stopping for a moment. Seeing their friends posting pictures of beautiful scenery from all over the world and sharing the joy of traveling on WeChat Moments, they were full of envy.

One day, Xu Tingshan and Li Zhenye gritted their teeth and decided to take a day off to relax. Not long after they left, the store staff called and said that the stove in the store was broken and could not operate normally. The two had no choice but to rush back to the store. After a lot of trouble, they finally fixed the stove.

After a while, it was the peak tourist season and the hotpot restaurant was doing even better. Unexpectedly, Li Zhenye fell ill due to overwork. Xu Tingshan took on the burden of the restaurant alone and was so busy that he was exhausted.

Just when Xu Tingshan felt desperate, an old customer learned about their situation and came to the store to help, bringing a group of friends to serve as volunteers. The store's business was not affected by Li Zhenye's illness, but became more prosperous.

After this difficult time, Xu Tingshan and Li Zhenye realized that although they were busy, they had gained the love and support of their customers, which made them feel more satisfied and happy than any travel.

Sun Yao had just heard that Li Zhenye and his team had bought a hot pot restaurant, and he was immediately excited. He immediately picked up his phone and contacted a group of close friends.

"Hey, guys, Li Zhenye and his friends have opened a hotpot restaurant. We have to go and support them!" Sun Yao's enthusiastic voice came from the other end of the phone.

Friends responded one after another and agreed on a time to go together.

When they arrived at the hotpot restaurant that day, the place was bustling with activity. As soon as Sun Yao and his group entered the door, they shouted at the top of their voices: "Li Zhenye, your brothers are here to support you!" Li Zhenye came out of the kitchen with a smile and quickly arranged for them to sit down.

The steaming hot pot was served on the table, and everyone was chatting and laughing while enjoying the delicious food. But after a while, the air conditioner in the store suddenly broke down. In this hot summer day, everyone was sweating profusely. The originally lively atmosphere became a little irritable.

Li Zhenye was so anxious that he quickly contacted the maintenance personnel, but the maintenance personnel told him that they could not come for a while. Just when everyone thought that the meal was going to be a spoiler, Sun Yao stood up and used his expertise to start checking the air conditioner.

After some tinkering, Sun Yao miraculously fixed the air conditioner, and the cool breeze blew again, instantly making the atmosphere in the store lively again. Everyone cheered and rejoiced. This accident not only did not affect their mood, but made this trip even more memorable.

Sun Yao is a very generous person, and is well-known among his friends for his righteousness. Whenever he wants to treat others, his first choice is always the hot pot restaurant owned by Li Zhenye and Xu Tingshan.

Although this hot pot restaurant is not big, it is full of warmth and the atmosphere of life. Li Zhenye is busy in the kitchen preparing the exclusive secret soup base, while Xu Tingshan is at the front desk greeting every guest warmly.

On this day, Sun Yao brought a group of friends here again. As soon as the friends entered the store, they were infected by the lively atmosphere. Everyone sat around the table, chatting and laughing.

Li Zhenye personally served the fragrant hot pot, and Xu Tingshan also quickly brought all kinds of fresh ingredients. Sun Yao raised his glass and said loudly: "Brothers, let's not go home until we are drunk today, enjoy it to your heart's content!" Everyone responded, and laughter echoed in the store.

However, just when everyone was enjoying their meal, the hot pot restaurant suddenly lost power! The entire restaurant was plunged into darkness, and the guests began to panic. However, Sun Yao stood up calmly, picked up his phone, turned on the flashlight, and calmed everyone down.

At this moment, Li Zhenye and Xu Tingshan hurried out holding candles, apologetically explaining to the guests that the power outage was caused by the nearby circuit maintenance. Unexpectedly, the swaying candlelight and the unique atmosphere made everyone more excited. Sun Yao took the opportunity to suggest: "Let's have a different hot pot party in this candlelight!"

So, under the dim candlelight, everyone continued to eat, drink and chat. This accident not only did not ruin the atmosphere, but became a unique and unforgettable experience. Since then, Sun Yao has invited guests to this hot pot restaurant more frequently, and his friends are looking forward to each unique gathering.

Li Zhenye and Xu Tingshan have been friends for life. When they were about to retire, they sat on a bench in the park, looking at the sunset in the sky, thinking that they couldn't be idle in the future. After much deliberation, they decided to open a hot pot restaurant together.

When the store first opened, it was bustling with people. But soon, the business became quieter, either because the soup base was not authentic enough or the ingredients were not fresh enough. This made Li Zhenye and Xu Tingshan very anxious, and every night after closing, the two of them would get together to discuss countermeasures.

Li Zhenye narrowed his eyes, holding a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Old Xu, we have to save this hot pot restaurant. We can't ruin its reputation!" Xu Tingshan frowned and took a sip of tea: "Of course, we have to find the best supplier of ingredients and improve the recipe of the soup base."

They went to the market before dawn to pick the freshest ingredients, and visited several hot pot masters to ask for the secrets of the hot pot base. After some hard work, the business of the store gradually improved.

However, just when they thought everything was on track, a sudden food safety crisis swept the entire catering industry. Many customers were deterred from eating hot pot, and their restaurant fell into trouble again.

Li Zhenye was so anxious that his mouth was covered with bubbles, but Xu Tingshan slammed the table and said, "What are you afraid of? We are upright and have nothing to fear. We will actively invite customers and regulatory authorities to come for inspection and let everyone see how clean and reliable our store is!"

So they really did it. Unexpectedly, this move not only eliminated everyone's concerns, but also attracted more customers because of their honesty and courage. From then on, their hot pot restaurant became famous and business became more and more prosperous. It became one of the most popular hot pot restaurants in the city and never let customers down.

Xu Tingshan and Li Zhenye were originally two young people with no connection at all. One had a dream of gourmet food, while the other was wandering in the confusion of life.

They met by chance and decided to open a hot pot restaurant together. From the decoration of the store to the purchase of ingredients, they put their heart and soul into every link.

At the beginning, the business in the store was quiet. Xu Tingshan was so anxious that his mouth was covered with blisters, while Li Zhenye was quietly thinking about the new hot pot base recipe in the kitchen. Although those days were hard, they never thought of giving up.

While Xu Tingshan was out in the market doing promotions, Li Zhenye was constantly experimenting with new dishes in the store, striving to create amazing flavors.

Gradually, some customers came to the store, and word of mouth spread. They were busy every day, greeting customers, taking orders, serving dishes, and clearing tables. But their faces were always filled with a fulfilled smile.

Just when they thought their life would go smoothly, an accident happened. Several hot pot restaurants opened nearby, and competition became fierce. Their customers were gradually diverted, and business became quiet again.

Li Zhenye was extremely anxious, but Xu Tingshan calmly thought about countermeasures. They decided to launch a series of special packages and preferential activities. However, the effect was not ideal.

Just when the two were in despair, a food blogger accidentally walked into their store. Attracted by the unique taste, the blogger strongly recommended it online, and overnight, their hot pot restaurant became a popular check-in spot.

From then on, Xu Tingshan and Li Zhenye were busy in the hot pot restaurant every day, but this busyness was full of hope and joy.

Linglong and Xu Tingshan have been married for many years and have been living an ordinary and warm life. However, Xu Tingshan's work has become extremely busy recently, and he often works overtime until late at night for an important project.

Every night, Xu Tingshan dragged his tired body back home and fell asleep immediately. Linglong saw it with her own eyes and felt pain in her heart. She tried to prepare various nutritious foods for Xu Tingshan, hoping to replenish his energy, but the effect was not obvious.

In order to relieve Xu Tingshan's burden, Linglong decided to go to his company to find out the situation. When she arrived at the company, she saw that Xu Tingshan's colleagues were also exhausted and under great pressure. She found her leader and hoped to adjust the work arrangement, but was rejected.

In desperation, Linglong began to learn relevant business knowledge on her own, thinking of helping Xu Tingshan share some of the work. When Xu Tingshan found out, he was touched but also worried that Linglong was too tired, so he asked her not to interfere.

But Linglong did not give up. After a period of hard work, she finally became familiar with some of the business. Just when she was ready to show her skills to help Xu Tingshan, she unexpectedly discovered that Xu Tingshan's project involved some unfair competition. It turned out that the boss had taken some dishonorable means to win the project, which made Xu Tingshan in a dilemma.

Linglong decided to collect evidence with Xu Tingshan and reveal the truth. After some twists and turns, they succeeded, the project was replanned, Xu Tingshan was no longer so tired, and their feelings became deeper and firmer in this experience.
