Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng
Chapter 178 The Charm of Hot Pot
"Don't worry, everyone will have a share! Everyone please find a seat and the hot pot will be served soon!"
"Also, the meat and vegetables are there, and everyone can choose according to their favorite dishes: green vegetables are two cents a string; mushrooms are three cents a string; meatballs are ten cents a string; meat is eight cents a string. Everyone can line up and choose the ingredients they like."
Qian Xiaocui introduced the prices of ingredients in the store to the customers.
The hot pot ingredients and soup are free here, only the money for the ingredients is charged.
Some people felt that the price was a bit expensive when they heard it. A bunch of vegetables cost two cents, while a pound of vegetables outside costs three cents, and some vegetables cost five cents, which is still cheaper than here.
But thinking of the fragrance, some people gritted their teeth and wanted to try it. Most of the time, they didn't eat meat, but only a few strings of vegetables.
So people lined up to choose their dishes.
Qian Xiaocui took everyone to the simmering hotpot.
The hotpot base is decided by the guests themselves. They only serve the thick soup, wait for the guests to sit down, and ask them what flavor of hotpot base they want before serving it, as well as the seasonings.
The people took the ingredients, asked for hot pot base and seasonings, and then, under the guidance of Gao Zhijun and the Sun family, they ate the meat or vegetables.
"Dear guests, today is the first day of opening of our Sun Family Hotpot Restaurant. We are offering a discount for everyone. Each table will receive two skewers of meat and three skewers of vegetables. The discount will be gone after today. I hope you will enjoy your meal and come back next time."
Gao Zhijun noticed that many people only ordered a few skewers of vegetables but no meat. She thought that they must be poor people, so she came up with the idea of offering a discount and thought of a way to let them taste meat.
In fact, she did this for a reason. After trying the meat, they will definitely bring their family over to try it next time, and maybe order one or two skewers of meat.
Even a small amount of money is meat, and if saved up by many people it can amount to a good income.
Moreover, eight cents for a skewer of meat is actually too expensive. A pound of lean meat only costs fifty cents, and a pound of belly meat only costs a hundred cents. Three skewers combined do not even have one or two ounces of meat.
"Thank you, Dr. Gao! Thank you, Boss!"
The people cheered and thanked Gao Zhijun and Qian Xiaocui.
Especially the people who couldn't afford to eat meat were even happier because they could finally taste the deliciousness of meat.
Zhuang Die and Qian Xiaocui had no objection to Gao Zhijun's actions. They both believed that she must have her reasons for doing so, and they were willing to serve two skewers of pork and vegetables to each table of guests.
However, the pork they delivered was all lean meat, so the cost was not very high. This was what Gao Zhijun asked them to deliver.
In fact, she likes to eat lean meat. The people here have not been able to eat oily food for a long time, so they like to eat belly meat with a little fat.
The people inside started to eat hot pot. The aroma of the hot pot became stronger and spread farther. Not only could the people outside the hot pot restaurant smell it, but even the people on the opposite street, the nearby streets, and the owners and shopkeepers could smell it and came over following the aroma.
Soon, the outside of the hot pot restaurant was full of people. Qian Xiaocui and Sun Fushou went out to greet the customers and asked them to wait a moment until the guests inside had finished eating before they could get a seat.
Seeing so many guests, Gao Zhijun asked Sun Tiehai to go back to the courtyard in the east of the city and call all the maids to help.
Just like that, when it was time to get out of school at noon at Taizhou Academy, Huo Jinqian took Tian Boyen, Feng Zhiyuan and Tang Weifeng to Sun's Hot Pot Restaurant for lunch.
Master Xie also brought the teachers from the academy to the Sun family hotpot restaurant, and Gao Zhijun also told him about it in advance.
When Huo Jinqian and others arrived, there were still many people queuing outside.
Gao Zhijun went out personally to greet them and arranged for them to go to the private room.
This private room does not receive guests and is reserved for family members to dine in.
There are three tables in the box because there are more people from the Sun family and the Huo family.
"Sister, I didn't expect the hot pot restaurant business to be so good?"
Tang Weifeng asked in shock as he looked at the packed house and the customers queuing outside.
"Why don't you smell the fragrance? Who can resist it?"
Feng Zhiyuan looked at Tang Weifeng with contempt, thinking he really had never seen the world.
This fragrance can be smelled by people from miles around, so why not come and try it?
"Yes, Brother Feng is right, this fragrance is so fragrant that no one can resist it."
Tian Boyn felt that Feng Zhiyuan was right. Whenever he smelled the fragrance, he would come over to taste it. If he couldn't taste it, he would probably lose the mood to study.
"Okay, whether it's as delicious as you think, you will know in a moment. Now go over there and pick out the ingredients you like and bring them back here. I'll bring the shabu-shabu hotpot over."
Gao Zhijun said to them with a smile.
They are Jinqian's rare friends, and also her friends, so she has to treat them well.
What is rare is that they have positive values, no ulterior motives, and are all gentlemen. It makes people feel comfortable to get along with such people.
"Double-boiled hotpot? That's not what you mean, right?"
When Tang Weifeng heard the word "mandarin duck", he started to think of something wrong, and looked at Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian with a joking smile.
Huo Jinqian's ears turned red and his heart beat faster when he was teased by Tang Weifeng!
Gao Zhijun corrected him with a smile, "What are you thinking about? This mandarin duck is not that mandarin duck. Mandarin duck pot refers to two kinds of hot pot bases, spicy and non-spicy. It is made up of two kinds of pots. It means that there are two kinds of pots for people who can eat spicy food and people who can't eat spicy food."
"Oh, so that's the reason. Then why is it called a shabu-shabu pot?"
Tang Weifeng asked Gao Zhijun in confusion.
As for why it was called a shabu-shabu pot, Gao Zhijun really didn't know.
In her previous life, when she went to eat hotpot, the waiters always said this, and she never asked why.
Now that Tang Weifeng asked her this, she really didn't know how to answer.
After thinking about it, I decided to just find an excuse to trick him.
