Chapter 2597: The beginning of the hotpot

Translator: 549690339

Although Wu Zhou had been promoted and his salary was higher, there was more than one person at home, Zhuang xinmu. Now he had a child, so his expenses were even greater. The money had to be divided into two parts. Except for the two spots for himself and Zhuang xinmu and some of them as a favor, he could give the rest to his regular customers and friends of the restaurant.

In fact, if Zhuang xinmu hadn’t insisted on coming to the restaurant to celebrate with Wu Zhou, he would have gone back and added an egg.

He still had to wait for Zhuang xinmu’s birthday to come to the store to celebrate, so he was full of dog food, which still had a familiar smell.

Mao Xiong and Wu Hai took two seats. Zhou Xi, who came back with great difficulty, also took one. As for his biological father, Zhou Xi said that it would be good enough if he had something to eat. As a son with barbecued pork, he would eat the hotpot himself.

It wasn’t time yet, but the people who wanted to eat the hotpot were basically all here. However, some people wanted to have a table of hotpot for themselves. This required not only courage but also strength, and no one had succeeded so far.

As a result, almost every table had a configuration of ten people, and it couldn’t be helped that this trouble was caused by favors.

Unlike other feasts or dishes, the hotpot required a lot of preparation. In order to not delay the time of everyone’s meal, Yuan Zhou had specially adjusted the time when they could enter the restaurant. Therefore, the waiting time was not very long.

Yan junchang and the others arrived quite early and were the third to enter. Although they were the third, they still had to wait for a long time. Because one slot was for ten people, two would be twenty people. They had to spend some time to enter in a single file.

When Yan junchang and the others entered, they didn’t choose to sit in the main hall. Instead, they went to the small courtyard. They heard that the environment there was elegant and was suitable for eating slowly. They planned to spend half the afternoon there. In any case, they just had to wait until eighto’ clock. It was simply a day to eat to their heart’s content.

It was even more forthright than a buffet.

“Vice President du, isn’t every table reserved for ten people? why didn’t you care when I saw that the table in front had eleven people? didn’t you say that the rules here are particularly strict?” A man with a full beard walking behind du Zijun couldn’t help but ask curiously.

His name was du fan, and he was the owner of a small hotpot restaurant. Although it was called a small restaurant, that was only in the context of big shots like Yan junchang and du Zijun. Actually, he had more than twenty restaurants in the entire country. This time, he was here to discuss business with du Zijun because his hotpot restaurant needed capital to open a new restaurant. Moreover, his surname was also du, so they might be the same family from 500 years ago. He was also a good talker and was very good at making friends, so he was lucky to be here.

As a person in the food and beverage industry, especially the leader, there were actually very few people who hadn’t heard of Yuan Zhou’s name. Yuan Zhou’s current fame in China couldn’t be explained clearly with just a few words.

......

Du fan was not unfamiliar with the name Yuan Zhou. However, his main restaurants were all in the Jiangnan area. He had never been to Chengdu before and had never tasted Yuan Zhou’s dishes. This was the first time he had ever tasted Yuan Zhou’s hotpot. He was a little excited to be able to eat the hotpot made by the legendary chef.

Previously, he had heard from du Zijun that the number of customers would be limited to 10 people. Moreover, what he had seen just now was basically a 10-person configuration. Therefore, he thought that it was indeed 10 people according to the regulations. He had secretly counted twice just now and found that there were 11 people each time. He thought he could ask Yuan Zhou if there was a discount or something for eating. For example, he didn’t need to line up to eat. That would be great.

It had to be said that sometimes, it was really not good to have a brain. Du fan had already thought of how to gain favors if he could get some convenience before du Zijun’s answer. He completely ignored that Yuan Zhou had a nickname called ‘compass’, which was definitely not an empty name.

Before du Zijun could open his mouth, Yan junchang, who had heard him, spoke first,””Head chef Yuan didn’t specify how many people can eat here. In principle, as long as we can sit down, we can bring anyone who has a quota to eat here.”

He was very clear about the rules of the hotpot day and had specially checked it.

Du Zijun wasn’t angry that Yan junchang beat him to it. He only added,”Those who come here to eat hotpot are not short of money. Generally, ten people are enough, but there are exceptions.”

The exception today was Wu Yungui’s group. It was Wu Yungui’s group who got the quota today. However, Jiang Changxi said that she wanted to hitch a ride. How could he not agree? the two companies still had quite a lot of cooperation.

In addition, Queen Jiang and Mrs. Wu had hit it off at first sight. Sometimes, they would even go out for tea and shopping together. It was clear that they were going to become best friends. If he did not agree, he was afraid that he would have prepared durians, keyboards, and instant noodles when he returned home.

Besides, other than Jiang Changxi, many other business partners who were well-informed had also received the news and acted immediately. They were all business partners. In doing business, harmony was the key to wealth. Therefore, they could only agree to it. When Wu Yungui reacted, there were already 11 people. Now that they had overspent, they definitely couldn’t agree to it anymore. They could only agree to it this way for those who had agreed before.

If Mrs. Wu didn’t have the time to come and take care of the sick jiakang, there would be 12 people.

Wu Yungui was also quite helpless. He could only hold the small bench in his hand tightly and silently remind himself that he must count clearly next time.

After du fan got the answer, he was a little disappointed. However, he was clear that he could not do whatever he wanted here, so he did not say anything more and followed everyone to the backyard. There were obviously four tables there, and there was a chair at each table. They were quite far apart and clearly separated, so he was not afraid of sitting in the wrong place.

Everyone put down the chairs they brought and sat down. The original chair was definitely given to the person who drew the spot by default. This was something that Yan junchang agreed with.

He and Tian penghao didn’t have time to buy chairs, but they had already made preparations. They set up a temporary stall next to the restaurant where they ate hotpot. They sold all kinds of chairs in beautiful colors and patterns. They were not only made of plastic, but also some wooden ones. They provided service to both particular and non-particular people.

Not only could the chair be bought, but it could also be rented. It cost two Yuan an hour, and you could pay for a few hours of sitting. There was no deposit, and there was no need to worry about the chair not being able to be taken away. It was convenient and simple.

It had to be said that this boss was also a smart person who knew how to adapt to the situation and seize the opportunity.

Yan junchang and the others had rented their chairs. They were carved wooden stools. The wood looked good and felt very glossy when they touched it.

The boss was a sleazy person. He took the goods from Ma Xiao’s factory. Not only did he guarantee the quality, but he also took care of the business. After all, he was relying on Yuan Zhou to do business. As Yuan Zhou’s junior Brother, it was natural for Ma Xiao to get some benefits.

The ten of them sat down one after another. Not long after, someone came to serve the soup. It was Mao Ye who brought it. She was here to work overtime today and was a little tired. However, she still had a lot of money, so she was full of energy.

He didn’t know how Yan junchang and du Zijun had discussed it, but the hotpot they ordered this time was the Guizhou black bean hotpot that Yan junchang and Tian penghao wanted to eat.

When Mao Ye had just brought it over, a spicy smell rushed straight to the tip of his nose. When it was served in front of him, it was a bright red color, making people feel festive.

Not everyone knew about this black bean hotpot, so when the hotpot was served, Yan junchang first gave a brief introduction.
