275 Chapter 275, Haidilao 2
"Let's order a mandarin duck pot base. What kind of pot base do you want for the non-spicy side? Tomato, bone broth, or clear water? Clear water is free."

"Clear water."

The three words "no money" immediately caught Lin Xiaojian's attention. Bone soup or tomato are all the same to him, as long as it is not spicy.

He can eat spicy food, but not all dishes are spicy.Vegetarian dishes such as vegetables and tofu like to be cooked in their original flavor and not soaked in spicy soup.

Lin Xiaojian doesn't mind showing that he cares about money in front of Xiao Yu'er, this is his nature.He jokingly asked Xiao Yu'er, and she said that she liked his straightforward personality, who would speak up whenever he had something to say.

“Laopai spicy slider beef, Laopai basa fish fillet, prairie lamb...”

Xiao Yu'er kept reporting the names of the dishes to seek Lin Xiaojian's opinion, and she would order a whole portion if he said it was ok; if he didn't want it, she would order a half portion, and try her best to solve it by herself, so as not to order too much and waste it.

Being able to order half a portion of food is an important reason why she likes Haidilao. Girls don't eat much, so they don't stop eating.It doesn't matter when there are many people, but if there are few people, you may not be able to finish a whole dish.

After Yu Zitong finished ordering, he handed the iPad to Lin Xiaojian and asked him to add a few of his favorites.He was a little surprised when he saw that he was ordering food with an iPad, but he was not shocked when he thought of his status in the world.

After all, iPads are relatively common household appliances nowadays. If you saw Haidilao using an iPad to order food when it was relatively rare a few years ago, you must post it on your Moments to pretend to be obnoxious.

"I can still order half."

Seeing that each portion of vegetables has the option of whole portion and half portion, Lin Xiaojian suddenly felt more favorable towards Haidilao.

Anyone who has done catering knows that customers like half a portion of dishes and can eat a little of everything, but the boss is not willing to do this.It is too troublesome to get a half portion of food, and the waste is much more than the whole portion. Trouble means more money.

Lin Xiaojian casually ordered two more meat dishes and returned the iPad to the waiter who was always standing by.After chatting with Xiao Yuer for a few words, the waiter quickly placed the order and came back. He asked enthusiastically: "What do you two want to drink? Do you want the self-service pickled plum juice and soy milk? It costs 8 yuan a serving. Unlimited refills are available.”

Lin Xiaojian looked at Xiao Yu'er and gave her the right to make the decision.

"His sour plum juice tastes good, similar to other restaurants' a la carte. You can drink all you can drink for 8 yuan, which is very cost-effective. Give me a glass of sour plum juice."

"Then I want plum juice too."

Lin Xiaojian then said, soy milk always feels like it is exclusive for breakfast, so how can you drink soy milk at night.

"Ok."

The waiter immediately turned around to pour the sour plum juice after receiving it. Lin Xiaojian was preparing to have a heart-to-heart chat with Xiao Yuer. Put the plum juice on the side and say, so that they can help themselves.

Lin Xiaojian glanced at the huge plastic jug, probably weighing several kilograms, thinking that this restaurant is really generous, why do people say his place is expensive on the Internet?

In general restaurants, sour plum juice costs at least 28 a pint, which is less than half of this pot, and you can earn back after drinking two cups.They are all made from concentrated juice, so why are they so expensive?
"Have you prepared the seasoning yet? How about I prepare it for you?"

"No, I'll make it myself later."

"This is glasses cloth, gloves, tissues."

"Ok."

"If you need anything else, remember to call me."

"Ok."

"Why are the waiters here so enthusiastic? It's uncomfortable to be so enthusiastic."

Seeing the waiter standing not far away with his hands in front of him and smiling decently, Lin Xiaojian couldn't help complaining to Xiao Yu'er.

In ordinary restaurants, the waiters ignore you after ordering, and they may not be able to call you, but here they always stand by your side, coming over from time to time to ask you, it is so sticky, Lin Xiaojian can't get used to it.

"Hee hee, this is their specialty."

Xiao Yu'er covered her mouth and smiled.

"This enthusiasm is too much, it makes people feel tired and crooked."

Lin Xiaojian had heard of Haidilao's enthusiastic service, but he thought it was nothing more than being on call, how could he be so proactive.

The two of them didn't chat for a while, when the waiter saw that they were just sitting and didn't go to get food, so he took the initiative to get them a small plate of fruit.

"Thank you."

"Do you need side dishes? There are cold shredded kelp, cucumbers, and dried shreds."

"no, I'm fine."

Lin Xiaojian became a little impatient. Since he was seated, he felt that he had spoken more to the waiter than Xiao Yuer. He said thank you at least five or six times.

It's hypocritical to say that in an ordinary restaurant, he would be very happy to receive free side dishes and fruits, but now that they are given for nothing, he feels extremely upset.

"I really experienced the enthusiasm of their family."

"What seasoning do you want, I can help you mix it?"

Lin Xiaojian shook his head to Yu Zitong and said that in order to avoid the waiter's nagging, he decided to take the initiative.

"It's okay, I'll do it myself."

The two stood up and walked to the condiment table. Immediately, a waiter came up to them and introduced various classic condiment matching methods to them.

"So many spices."

The time-honored hot pot in Feng County that he invited her to eat last time had only a dozen kinds of condiments, mainly local traditional flavors, such as onion, garlic, sauce and vinegar, so there was no choice.Haidilao has [-] to [-] kinds of condiments, which can be used to prepare the classic flavors of various hot pots such as oil dish, sesame sauce, and sand tea.

"Help me mix an oil dish and sesame sauce."

Lin Xiaojian usually adjusts the seasonings for hot pot randomly, and there is no fixed taste. Seeing the seasoning combination posted on the seasoning table, since there are so many flavors here, he simply asks the waiter to adjust it.They adjust, the ratio should be more standard than their own.

When I got back to the dining table, the bottom of the pot and the side dishes were all ready, and the colorful colors were pretty nice.

Yu Zitong leaned all the dishes to the side of the hot pot, arranged them more compactly, took out his phone, and took a panoramic photo.

"You have eaten so many delicious foods, and you have to take pictures after eating Haidilao?"

Lin Xiaojian asked suspiciously.

"I'm recording my life. We share our delicacies every day in the foodie group."

Yu Zitong's purpose of taking pictures is different from Lin Xiaojian's imagination. He usually takes pictures because the first time he eats is memorable.And she takes pictures with a very freewheeling mentality, she doesn't necessarily have to express anything, it may be deleted in a few days.

"There are a lot of people in your foodie group, right?"

Seeing Xiao Yu'er with his head down, and his slender fingers quickly touching the screen of the phone, Lin Xiaojian asked curiously.

"It's okay, there are only a dozen of them, they are all old friends."

A beautiful woman like Xiao Yu'er has a huge circle of friends, and Lin Xiaojian is no stranger to this.Besides, she is a gourmet anchor, so it's not normal for her not to join a similar group of foodies.Just seeing her lowering her head frequently and covering her mouth with a small smile from time to time, Lin Xiaojian couldn't help but feel a little bit uneasy, and couldn't help but wonder if she was chatting so happily with some boy.

"You are one piece and I am one piece."

When Yu Zitong eats hot pot, she always boils the meat first. After replying to the greetings in the group, she puts down her phone, picks up two slices of marinated beef with serving chopsticks, puts them into the bottom of the butter pot and boils them.

　Thank you Songyi for the monthly pass. I made a typo yesterday. It’s terrible to be uneducated. .
