The aroma of cooking filled the house: I sent my eldest brother to become the Grand Secretary.

The guests in the hall also learned how to eat this hot pot.

Most of them also chose to eat the special dipping sauce.

The main problem is that they don't know how to make the seasoning bowl, and they're also afraid that their skills aren't up to par and that if they make it taste bad, it would be a waste.

Some people also chose to make their own condiment bowls, since the condiment bowls were free during the opening period.

They were initially worried that they wouldn't know how to mix the seasonings, but to their surprise, someone in the seasoning area guided them on how to use the seasoning bowls.

Their worries were relieved.

A-Wu and his family sat on the first floor near the window.

He asked his wife, daughter, and son for the secret-recipe seasoning bowls.

He went to the condiment section and made himself a bowl of condiments according to the instructions of the staff there.

After the secret sauce bowl was served, he tasted the one he had prepared.

It's true that the food you pay for tastes better.

Ah Wu's wife also tasted her own dipping sauce and found it to be better than her husband's.

She poured some of her own bowl into her husband's bowl, and then shared some of his with her.

Hmm, both bowls taste pretty good now.

Last month, right after the Lunar New Year, there were many more merchant ships coming and going, so A-Wu's wages were higher than usual.

The family of four ordered five vegetarian dishes, each costing no more than three coins.

He also ordered a slice of sliced ​​pork and a lamb roll.

A plate of sliced ​​pork costs seven coins, while mutton rolls are more expensive, costing ten coins.

So, their family spent over thirty coins, and all the dishes were only 60% of the original price at the opening.

He calculated the cost and added another meat dish.

He remembered that his wife loved to eat meat, and there were also stir-fried dishes here, so he ordered a plate of crispy pork for ten coins.

When Ah Wu's wife saw that her husband had added another dish, she was afraid that they wouldn't be able to finish it.

"That's enough, that's enough. We can ask for more after we finish eating, otherwise it will be a waste."

The waiter next to them suggested, "You can order more after you finish eating; we should be able to finish these dishes."

"If you can't finish it, you can cook it and pack it up, or pack it up and take it away without cooking it."

"Of course, if the food hasn't been touched, you can return it."

If they couldn't finish it, they could take it home, so A-Wu's wife didn't stop them. That crispy pork dish sounded delicious.

Soon, their dishes were served one after another.

"If you can handle spicy food, cook it in a hot pot with chili oil; if you can't, cook it in a mushroom broth."

"Children should eat the mushroom soup from the hot pot the best."

This was the first time Ah Wu had experienced such thoughtful service, and he was a little uncomfortable at first.

He used to occasionally eat out, and the waiters always acted superior, making him feel ashamed if he ordered too little.

I didn't expect the staff here to be so considerate. They even told us not to order too much, and we could return any untouched dishes.

He decided that from now on, if he wants a treat, he'll come here.

Although they had just heard about how to eat hot pot, they were still a little hesitant to try it themselves.

The waiter next to him asked, "If you don't know how to cook, I can help you."

As he spoke, he took a clean pair of chopsticks and cooked some lamb rolls in both pots.

Once the lamb rolls were cooked and changed color, he took them out one by one.

The spicy dish was placed on Ah Wu's wife's plate, and the non-spicy dish was placed in front of the child.

"It's cooked, you can try it."

"Eat it with the dipping sauce."

A-Wu's wife carefully picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce, and then ate it.

The satisfying feeling of a mouthful of meat eased her furrowed brows.

"This is so delicious!"

"Husband, please try it."

Ah Wu also picked up a bite for himself, and it was indeed delicious.

It feels so good to eat meat like this.

He regretted it a little; he should have ordered another plate of lamb rolls.

I hope the crispy pork will taste good too.

The children followed their parents' example, picking up the meat with their chopsticks and dipping it in the sauce.

They can only experience this feeling of eating meat to their heart's content during the Chinese New Year.

Indeed, meat is the most delicious food in the world.

They quickly devoured the cooked meat.

With the waiter's demonstration, they followed his example and poured the ingredients into the pot to cook.

I'm really not used to having someone serve me.

The plate of mutton was quickly finished.

After the pork belly was cooked, the waiter kindly reminded us, "The pork belly needs to cook for a while, so we suggest you cook these vegetables first and then eat the pork belly in the pot later."

Ah Wu's family had become accustomed to the waiter's attentive service, and upon hearing his suggestion, they started cooking vegetarian dishes first.

He poured the bamboo shoots into the pot, placing some on both sides.

When they were eating the spicy hot pot, neither he nor his wife felt any discomfort and thoroughly enjoyed it.

After the bamboo shoots had been cooked for a while, they couldn't wait to put them in their bowls and eat them.

Crispy, very flavorful, and delicious.

"Your crispy pork is ready."

A plate of crispy fried pork belly, golden brown and crispy, was served.

"You can eat this directly, or dip it in the dry powder on the side, or cook it in a pot."

"Um, do you have any rice?" A-Wu asked somewhat embarrassedly.

These are all vegetables; he's afraid he won't have enough to eat if he eats them with rice.

"Yes, please wait a moment."

A-Wu thought the waiter would laugh at him for eating rice with hot pot, but to his surprise, the waiter still served him a bowl of rice in a very friendly manner.

Seeing that Ah Wu had ordered a bowl of rice, the people at the next table also raised their hands to indicate that they wanted rice too.

This soup would be delicious poured over rice.

In this way, a meal won't cost much at all.

Although the vegetables were cheap, they still tried to save money wherever possible.

"Crunch!" Just as A-Wu was watching the waiter serve him rice, he heard a crisp crunching sound coming from the table.

It turned out the child was eating crispy fried pork.

No wonder it's called crispy pork; the texture is so crispy.

"good to eat!"

"My lord, please try this. This crispy pork is really delicious."

The noise from the next table also attracted their attention, and they all asked what they were eating.

And so, another wave of hands were raised, indicating that they wanted crispy pork.

After eating the mutton rolls, Zhou Qingzhu and his group ordered four more plates of mutton rolls.

The main reason is that the lamb rolls are so delicious.

This way of eating is indeed novel.

They all said they would bring their families to try it again in the future.

After the lamb rolls, I ordered all sorts of meat dishes, including sliced ​​pork, crispy pork, and more.

Zhou Qingzhu was not short of money, so they ordered the dishes without worry, especially since the dish didn't cost much.

He tried the non-spicy version of the hot pot, and it was quite delicious.

He said he would bring his grandmother to try it another day.

Meanwhile, his grandmother, whom he was talking about, was laughing very happily as she listened to Granny Zhang describe the opening of the dock and the Hundred Herbs Garden.

She looked at the hot pot in front of her, smiling as she showed it off to Mr. Zhou and her sisters who had come to visit her.

“My good granddaughter is so filial. Even while she’s busy with the opening of the business, she doesn’t forget about this old woman.”

"You must tell my granddaughter about this when you get back..."
