Chapter 272 Hot Pot Set for 4
Because each seat by the window is separated by a half-person-high screen, it is a semi-private space, which makes the three women very satisfied.
After the three of them sat down, the waitress immediately handed them a menu.
"Sir, please take your time to read it. I will go and prepare the tea."
The three of them stared at the booklet on the table, but no one picked it up to read it. Finally, it was Chen Hua, a woman sitting alone, who spoke.
"Sister Jiang, you guys take a look first."
"Okay, then we won't be polite."
Jiang Mengjie took the booklet and placed it between them, then opened the first page. They were both stunned, and then immediately flipped through a few more pages.
The two of them looked up and looked at each other, then sighed at Chen Hua who was looking at them in confusion.
“This menu is amazing.”
"Indeed, I don't know who came up with this idea, but we can finally order food without having to look at the words."
Chen Hua was confused, "What's wrong with the two sisters?"
Jiang Mengjie immediately handed the booklet to her, and after she flipped through a few pages, she looked up at him with surprise.
"Wonderful, wonderful."
The three of them took turns looking at it and were all a little confused. They wanted to order and try all the dishes written on it, especially the hot pot set, which made them itchy.
Finally, they ordered a hotpot set for four people, which cost five hundred and ninety-nine cents. They saw that there were four meat dishes and eight vegetarian dishes in total, and they didn't expect the price to be so affordable.
The waiter poured them some tea and when she saw they wanted a hotpot set for four people, she took a pen and wrote it down in a notebook. Then she asked the three of them if they wanted any drinks. When she was told that they didn't, she took the menu and left.
Because the dishes were not cooked, they were served quickly. Xiao Er Niang brought the condiment tray to the table first. There were five bowls filled with minced garlic, chopped green onions, crushed peanuts, white sesame seeds, salt, and two small teapot-style containers filled with vinegar and sesame oil.
Xiao Er Niang introduced these condiments and demonstrated to them how to add them, and asked them to add them according to their own taste preferences.
It was the first time for the three of them to see this kind of thing, so they had no idea what flavors they had, so they just followed what Xiao Er Niang had just taught them and added them all.
At this time, the mandarin duck boiler was brought up, and soon their dishes were brought up one after another. The vegetarian dishes that could not fit on the table were placed on the three-layer wooden rack brought by Xiao Er Niang.
"Sir, your hot pot set for four people has been served. The duck blood can be added directly to the red soup, and the other dishes can be added after the water in the pot boils. If you have any questions, you can ask us. I wish you a pleasant meal." After saying that, Xiao Er Niang stepped aside.
The three of them didn't expect that they would have to cook for themselves, and they felt a little embarrassed. They had always been the kind of people who had nothing to do but read books by sages.
But since they ordered this and the way of eating it was very novel, they were still very excited.
Chen Hua picked up the bowl of duck blood that Xiao Er Niang had pointed to and carefully poured it into the red soup. Fortunately, he was careful enough and no oil splashed out.
It doesn't seem to be difficult.
After a while, the water in the pot began to boil, and the aroma of the hot pot filled the air. The three of them swallowed unconsciously.
They put some of the dishes on the table into the pot, and whether it was red soup or clear soup, the pot was full.
Xiao Er Niang came over to check, and seeing that the three of them were staring at the pot eagerly, she immediately reminded them.
"You can eat the duck blood when it floats up. You need to pick it up gently and it is best to use a bowl to catch it, or you can use the colander in the chopstick holder to scoop it out."
When the three heard that the duck blood was cooked, they waited for Xiao Er Niang to leave and immediately picked up their bowls and chopsticks to scoop up the duck blood. They tried several times but it got scattered. Finally, Chen Hua stood up and picked up the colander to scoop half a bowl of duck blood for each person.
Jiang Mengjie picked up the duck blood wrapped in seasoning and put it into her mouth. It melted in her mouth and tasted so delicious with the flavor of garlic and sesame oil.
"It's delicious! This thing can definitely be called the best in Nanshan."
Lin Jiaojiao was only one table away from them, so her words could still be heard clearly in the quiet hall.
Lin Jiaojiao and Lin Yizhi looked at each other and laughed. At first she was worried that if she let the guests cook for themselves, they would not buy it. Now it seems that she was worrying too much.
Zhang Lianyu and his two children were playing by the pool, while Lin Dadan and Zhang Tong were chatting beside them.
At this time, three carriages stopped in front of the store on the street. Lin's father, Lian Yun and Zhou Xiaofeng got off the carriages. Zhao Xiaotong helped Lin Yiyan get off the second carriage, and Zhang Yili followed with the child in his arms.
Zhuxue and Tongfu got off the last carriage first, and then helped their young master get off.
They didn’t come to the last opening of Malatang, but this time Lin Jiaojiao invited many people to the opening of the restaurant, all of whom were familiar business partners and relatives and friends.
Seeing this, the receptionist at the door immediately stepped forward and asked, "Are you guys here for dinner? Do you have a reservation?"
Father Lin and the others had no idea what this appointment meant, so Lin Yiyan came over and replied, holding her belly.
"Yes, I have an appointment."
The receptionist immediately welcomed the guest warmly. After all, the guests who had made appointments today were only those invited by their own host.
Seeing his father coming, Lin Fei quickly shouted, "Dad, come and see, there are so many beautiful fish here, Feifei also wants to raise one."
Zhou Xiaofeng walked forward and pulled him over, and was relieved to see that he was not wet.
"Of course. This fish is very valuable. I don't know if your lucky money is enough."
When Lin Fei heard that he needed his New Year's money to buy it, he immediately refused and covered his wallet.
"Don't worry Feifei doesn't want to raise the child. It's Xiaoyu who wants to raise the child."
Zhang Lianyu did say that he wanted to raise the child, but he had saved all his New Year's money as his dowry, so he shook his head.
"I don't raise Xiaoyu anymore."
Lin Jiaojiao and the others happened to hear their words when they came over, and she immediately joked, "It's okay, sister gave you this fish at a lower price, it's just enough for your New Year's money."
The two little guys immediately looked at her with wide eyes and shook their heads to refuse.
"I don't want to raise her anymore. Sister Jiaojiao, please don't take Feifei's New Year's money."
"Xiaoyu doesn't want to take care of it. Xiaoyu doesn't have time to take care of it. Xiaoyu also has to help her brother take care of Tiantian."
Lin Jiaojiao stopped teasing them. Seeing Lin Yiyan struggling to walk up, she hurried forward to support him.
"Brother, do you feel uncomfortable riding in a car?"
He shook his head slightly: "Fortunately, Lan Yi drove the car very slowly and without shaking."
"That's good. I'll help you sit by the window and rest for a while."
She settled everyone down. Since it was still early, most of them sat together and chatted. Her three husbands and Jiang Huai sat at a table for four by the window.
She began to entertain business partners who came one after another, all of whom came with their families.
They all praised the decoration of her restaurant, especially the rockery and flowing water, which interested them very much and wanted to know which craftsman built it. They also wanted to build one, but she always laughed it off and changed the subject.
"Sister Lin, I'm here. It's been a long time since we last met. I hope you finally remembered your sister Liu."
