Su Qinghe was the first to use her chopsticks, picking up a piece of marinated meat and putting it into the red pot.

The meat slices were very thin and cooked in a short time.

"Try it!" She put the meat into Lin Xi's bowl and also boiled a slice for Ji Yuan.

The meat in the bowl was steaming. Lin Xi picked up the meat, blew on it, took a careful bite, and raised his eyebrows because it tasted so good.

Full of spicy aroma and a special flavor.

"I went to the slaughterhouse and bought some butter. That's the first one to go into the pot. How is it? Is it fragrant?"

Su Qinghe tasted it herself and found it to be very authentic.

"Yeah! It's delicious!" Lin Xi nodded heavily.

He had never tasted butter, and he believed that few people in the world had tasted it because people generally used lard.

"What do you think, Ayuan?" Su Qinghe looked at Ji Yuan.

“It’s a rare delicacy!”

After eating, Ji Yuan wiped his mouth and spoke.

"I only know that tomatoes can be fried and sometimes used to make soup, but no one has ever cooked them as soft and thick as this, sour and sweet, very appetizing!"

Although he was eating tomato hotpot, butter was also added to it, making the aroma even more tempting.

"Isn't it just cooking a bunch of things together? Is it that exaggerated?"

Su Qinghe didn't perm his hair, and Ji Qingyu saw that both of them praised it, so he permed one for himself out of suspicion.

"Phew~ It's so hot!"

In his haste to taste the food, he neglected to let it cool down and put it into his mouth right after taking it out of the pot.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Ji Yuan frowned.

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong here?" Su Qinghe also frowned at him and pointed at her head.

"I, huh~ I forgot!"

Ji Qingyu's tongue was so burned that he couldn't even straighten it out, but his upbringing made him too embarrassed to spit it out in front of everyone, so he could only roll it around in his mouth.

"Huh~" After finally swallowing the thing, he let out a sigh of relief.

His tongue was numbed by the heat.

"Here you go. Remember to let it cool down before eating!" Ji Yuan blanched a few more slices and put them in his bowl.

"No matter what you do, it's a real headache!" Su Qinghe looked at Ji Qingyu with disdain.

Lin Xi covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

"understood!"

Ji Qingyu said sullenly, knowing that he was being stupid, he did not fight back this time.

It tasted really good, but his tongue was burned just now, and no matter what he ate afterwards, his mouth was filled with a taste of rust.

After eating a few bites, Ji Qingyu put down his chopsticks in frustration, staring at the bubbles gurgling happily in the pot.

"Only when you feel the pain can you learn from it!" Su Qinghe glanced at him and said lightly.

Ji Qingyu ignored her and just thought about her miserable butt again.

"Wife! How do you know this way of eating?" Lin Xi suddenly asked.

"Yeah! I was so hungry one night that I dreamed about it!" Su Qinghe said seriously.

"Is that so?" Lin Xi seemed to be thinking about something, and then became a little excited.

"The taste is so good, I believe that after the restaurant opens, the business will be very good!"

"Yeah!" Ji Yuan also nodded in agreement.

"If that's the case, the store will probably be very busy, and I'm afraid we'll need to hire more staff."

Su Qinghe heard them talking about the restaurant business, swallowed the meatballs in his mouth, and said:

"Don't worry about that. I'll go to the market and post a job posting. I'll offer a higher monthly salary so I won't have trouble finding people."

"Well! My dear wife, have you thought of a name for the new restaurant?" Ji Yuan noticed that Su Qinghe had eaten a lot of meatballs and thought she liked them, so he picked up two more for her.

"Just call it...Shilixiang!" Su Qinghe thought for a while and uttered three words.

"The fragrance spreads ten miles away...what a great name!"

……

In the afternoon, Su Qinghe took two pieces of written recruitment information and went to the corner of the market that was specifically recruiting workers.

From a distance, there seemed to be a group of people gathered there, with a large wall in the middle, on which were many papers covered with words.

"Please give way!"

Su Qinghe squeezed through the crowd with great effort and posted his recruitment information on an empty space on the wall.

"Hey! Here comes a new task! Is there anyone who can read? Read it to us!"

The crowd was chattering and noisy, and Su Qinghe had already squeezed out from among them.

It was still early, and the hot pot she made today tasted very good. Su Qinghe no longer had any worries in her mind, and went straight to purchase a large batch of ingredients for the hot pot base.

For several days in a row, Su Qinghe has been running around preparing for the opening of the hot pot restaurant, and during this period several waves of people have come to her restaurant to apply for jobs.

Su Qinghe picked and chose, including cooks, waiters, dishwashers, etc., and has already decided on 20 people, who are just waiting to come a few days before the opening.

And the most important thing is, as for the people who make the hot pot base, Su Qinghe went to Renyazi and bought two middle-aged men who can cook, and asked Lin Xi to teach them, so that he wouldn't have to make it every day.

Holding their indentures in hand, it is easier to control them than summoning them.

The busy time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, there were only five days left before closing.

Su Qinghe has arranged almost everything she needs, and now all she needs is a stable vegetable supplier.

"There are also various kinds of meat." Su Qinghe murmured.

It would be too monotonous if there were only simple poultry.

She was walking on the street when she suddenly saw two familiar people in the corner.

"Aunt Liu! Liu Er Niang!" She walked up to them and stood still.

"Ms. Su!"

The two looked up and were a little surprised to see that it was Su Qinghe.

"Ms. Su! I didn't expect to see you here." Aunt Liu greeted Su Qinghe warmly.

"Yes! I heard from the villagers that you moved away. Did you move to Tianhe County?" Liu Erniang asked curiously.

"Yes, I reopened a restaurant! My whole family lives there now!" Su Qinghe replied with a smile.

She looked down at the items in their stall.

"Has anyone ordered your stuff? If not, I'd like to buy them all!"

"Ah?" The mother and daughter were stunned and looked at the prey on the ground.

"We just got here, and there's not a single buyer yet. If you want to buy, of course you can, but isn't this too much?"

"Although it is late autumn, there are so many prey that we can't finish eating them even in half a month. I'm afraid they can't be kept for long." Aunt Liu frowned.

"My lady, if you open a restaurant, it won't be good if you keep it for too long. It's better to buy less. There are many prey in the mountains. I will come here every few days, and you can come back to buy new ones in a few days."

Although she didn't know how Su Qinghe suddenly had so much money, Aunt Liu still didn't want her to waste it.

"Thanks for the reminder!" Su Qinghe thanked with a smile.

"But the food sold in my restaurant is different from the usual ones, and the ingredients are consumed faster. These things can't be kept for a few days."

Su Qinghe pointed at the prey on the stall again.

"Besides, you still have a few alive ones here. I'll take them back and raise them for a few days before killing them. The others won't last long."

"This... since the lady insists, I will sell them all to you!"

Aunt Liu stopped persuading her and loaded all the prey onto the ox cart.

"I have six hares, four pheasants, and a goat. I'll charge you 6 taels in total. What do you think?"

"No problem! Here are 40 taels, please keep it!" Su Qinghe agreed readily and took out 40 taels from his pocket and handed it over.

Aunt Liu took it and put it in her arms.

"Where is the Lady's restaurant? There are too many prey. I will just help you get them there!"

"Excuse me, please follow me!"

Su Qinghe said this and walked in front to lead the way.
