It turned out that Aunt Lu also had a daughter, but she accidentally fell into the water while playing in the garden with the young lady of the host family. She was rescued, but was killed by a cold.

Poor girl, she was only three or four years old when she passed away.

At that time, Aunt Lu cried day and night and was extremely heartbroken.

Therefore, when Aunt Lu saw the skinny girl who looked like the well-behaved Qiaoya, she couldn't help but think of her own daughter.

After Yu Min and the others finished their showers, changed into clean clothes and came out, Leng Yan realized that they all had regular facial features and were good-looking, especially Yu Min, who was simply a handsome young man.

Leng Yan was stunned for a moment, and Zhan Ying was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. She had been feeding these little beggars for such a long time, but she didn't realize that they were so good-looking.

As soon as Yu Min and the others came out, they knelt down and kowtowed to them to express their gratitude.

If they were a little nervous at first, they were completely relieved now that they had new clothes and a place to live. They believed that they had truly met good people.

"Thank you, boss. Thank you for taking us in. We will definitely work hard in the future and repay your kindness by working like slaves!"

Leng Yan and the others were startled and hurried to help everyone up.

"Hurry up, there's no need to be so polite. We don't have so many rules here, and you don't have to repay any favors. As long as you work hard in the shop, the shop will pay you. This is what you deserve."

Afterwards, Leng Yan gave a brief explanation. After all, they were still children, so she would ask Aunt Lu and the others to help take care of them. Starting tomorrow, Yu Min and the others would also have to receive training with Aunt Lu and the others.

After settling them all, Leng Yan turned to other things.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day before Leng Ji Xian Lao’s opening.

Now all the decorations, tables and chairs, as well as employees with their respective duties in the hot pot restaurant are in place.

They were wearing the same work clothes, and Leng Yan gave them a final unified training to ensure that everything would go perfectly well at tomorrow's opening ceremony.

Leng Yan also led her parents to prepare various spices a few days in advance. After mixing them according to the proportions, they began to cook the hot pot base.

Put enough oil in the pot, then pour the onion, ginger, garlic and coriander into the pan. After frying until fragrant, use a colander to drain the oil and then add various spices such as chili peppers and peppercorns in turn.

For this purpose, Leng Yan went to the blacksmith shop and customized two extra-large iron pots and placed them in the yard.

When making the hot pot base, Leng Yan specially called Aunt Lu's husband Lu Da and two other uncles to help, and taught them the steps and the right temperature for making the hot pot base.

After a long period of boiling, the hot pot base tastes absolutely delicious!

It’s still the old rule that people in the store eat first. Only after eating it can they describe the taste more accurately.

That night, after Leng Yan and his team prepared all kinds of ingredients, the people in the shop sat down at several tables and started to cook the hot pot.

Except for Leng Yan, everyone else present was eating hotpot for the first time.

So Leng Yan demonstrated how to blanch various ingredients and the steps. Everyone followed suit, and after putting the blanched ingredients into their mouths, they all couldn't help but stare with their eyes wide open.

“This is so delicious!” For a moment, everyone at the table was busy eating.

Especially Yu Min and his companions, they felt like they were dreaming.

They had never eaten such delicious meat and vegetables even in their dreams.

In order to take care of their stomachs, fearing that they had been hungry for years and might not be able to eat something too spicy, Leng Yan specially changed the base of their pot to mushroom soup.

Yu Min and his companions were even more moved, and secretly made up their minds to work hard in the shop and be absolutely loyal in the future to repay this favor which could be said to be their life-saving favor.

For them before, winter was the most difficult time.

Normally, when they are bullied, they can even eat less and just endure it, but the cold in winter can directly take their lives.

Now, not only do they have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, but they also have a clean, bright and warm place to live, and even get paid every month. This is like heaven to them, so they will never forget this kindness.

The next day, after many days of hard work, Leng Ji Xian Lao finally opened.

For this purpose, Leng Yan also invited a lively lion dance team to beat drums and gongs in front of the hot pot restaurant, and later joined in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, determined to make it a big gimmick.

The selection of the people to cut the ribbon was also very important. Their good friends Sheng Yuxing and Xiao Pingyue came in person. Even Boss Tao and Manager Zhao of Xianju Pavilion in Beicheng County, who they were cooperating with, came with gifts after hearing about it.

Leng Yan's uncle Leng Kang and aunt Chen Yueshu also took the initiative to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and old man Leng was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

Of course, in addition to these, Leng Yan also set up some lottery activities and blind box lottery activities. As long as you spend a certain amount of money, you can get a free chance to draw a lottery.

Even every diner who comes to the restaurant is given packaged snacks.

Leng Yan positions the hotpot as mid-to-high-end, as the snacks they serve are potato chips and cat ears that they make and sell themselves.

In addition to these gimmicks, their hot pot restaurant also sells food and provides services.

Especially when a row of energetic waiters stand in a row and shout welcome in unison.

This strange and novel feeling, accompanied by a faint feeling of toes grasping the ground, made the onlookers even more curious about this newly opened restaurant.

The first batch of diners who entered the hot pot restaurant were either friends or acquaintances, or those who only remembered the taste, or those who were curious to join in the fun.

They all trusted the taste of the Leng family's food, but today they were all shocked by the food in front of them without exception.
