Shanhai Pet Shop

Like countless days before, Ye Yao pushed open the door of Shanhai Pet Shop from the inside.

As the store manager, the moment he opens the door every day represents the beginning of a new day of business.

But today, the scenery outside the door is not the same as before.

Ye Yao looked at the thin layer of white snow on the ground, and said in surprise: "It's snowing."

It had been a few weeks since they came back from Taiwan, and Su Min's support was very good. No matter how frantically the local government searched after they left, they couldn't find any clues.

In general, although Ye Yao and the others did not bring the baby back, they were not on the country's blacklist. So far, only Long Liu and others know about their troubles in Kaohsiung Port. There is still a trace of trust in the dislike of Long Liu, and it can be known that their relationship is actually quite good.

Long Liu also did not leak the secret very interestingly. It can be seen from the fact that Ye Yao and the others have returned to Nanjing for so long and no one from the relevant department has come to the door.

But if you really want to say that there is no result at all, it is not.

Thinking of the Chiyou girl who suddenly appeared, her strange strength against Qiongqi, and the spiritual cannon that almost turned Ye Yao and the others into powder, even Ye Yao, who was as calm as Ye Yao, had to be vigilant.

It was as if a black hand who had been hiding behind the scenes suddenly appeared in the youth manga, and he had to deal with it with all his strength.

After experiencing so many strange things in less than a year, even an atheist has to believe in the existence of destiny.

Ye Yao's intuition was already very accurate, and now he feels that he will still be able to see those behind-the-scenes masters in the future.

Just judging from their current performance, it is known that those people will definitely be able to make big events in the future.

However, even if there will be major events in the future, life will still go on as usual, just like eating rice, drinking Wangzai's milk, and pet store business.

The little unicorn came out from behind the curtain, wearing a small dress that Fang Xueting modified from the pet dog's clothes, and it fit the little unicorn.

The little guy who has been able to clearly express his emotions clearly likes this little dress very, very much.

Ye Yao hugged the little unicorn, watching the snowflakes floating in the sky outside through a barrier.

The new year is coming.

After the light snow in Nanjing turned into a rare blizzard in several years, it finally ushered in New Year's Day.

Seeing that the snow outside has not yet melted, looking out through the window is like a world of ice and snow. Chef Qiongqi, who is not very good-tempered and not talkative at all, after thinking about it, finally decided to make a big hot pot on the first day of the new year.

As long as they eat normal food in the store, no matter if it's a human or a beast, they all agree with it. Even the little unicorn yelled "mamama", as if looking forward to it.

Of course, everyone knows that little Qilin has never eaten hot pot at all, but just joined in the fun.

The little unicorn in pet clothes is held in the arms of Qiongqi with a fierce face. The growth rate of the ancient strange beast is still very fast. Although the little unicorn has not grown up in such a long time, it has been weaned in terms of food. Eat baby food supplements, vegetable and fruit puree, and boil some meat porridge.

Obviously Qiongqi looks impatient, but he is very patient when cooking for the little unicorn. When he buys the meat, he grinds it little by little with the back of a knife, because he dislikes the smell of metal in the blender. .

Every time Ye Yao watched Qiongqi cook in the kitchen, he admired him very much.

This person obviously has a handsome face full of evil spirits, and when he is cooking porridge in a kitten apron, why does he look so like a good wife and mother?

The weather outside is not good. Even if the young men from the public institutions in the city are dispatched to shovel the snow, after all, the heavy snow just stopped last night. How can the goose feather snow that has been drifting for several days before can be shoveled in one morning?There is a heavy layer of snow on the ground first, and the bottom is a smooth ice surface that has already frozen.

It is absolutely impossible for vegetable farmers to go out to sell vegetables in this weather. Fortunately, Wal-Mart Carrefour is still open, and fresh vegetables and meat can still be bought in the store.

As for going out on a snowy day, it's really not a problem for Qiongqi.

Before buying vegetables, Qiongqi counted the people and non-humans who had dinner at night.

Among other things, Fang Xueting and Bi Fang are going to join, as well as Huabiao who is still staying at Shanhai Pet Shop.

Needless to say, Samoyed, Bai Ze has always been full of strange love for human food. He eats and eats very happily on weekdays. Now that Qiong Qi finally made a hot pot, how can he miss it?

There are also those strange beasts in the Shanhai pet shop who like to eat cooked food, just thinking about the number of them will not be small.

After Ye Yao finished counting the number of people and strange beasts who might participate in this hot pot party, he very tactfully proposed to Qiongqi that he would buy all the meat he saw in the store and cook it all back. He glanced at Ye Yao.

"Meatloaf? Evacuating several supermarkets won't be enough for them to eat."

As he said that, he directly moved out a machine for slicing meat rolls from a corner of the kitchen, the kind that hot pot restaurants would have, and Ye Yao was dumbfounded.

"Isn't this enough?"

The kitchen that comes with Shanhai Pet Shop is the same as the mysterious layout of this pet shop. How broad the mind is, the layout will be as big. Every time Ye Yao enters the kitchen, he sees different scenery, except for the cooking table that he can see every time. In addition, he often sees big freezers and freezers, and there are so many exotic animals in Shanhai Pet Shop, and there are not one or two freezers, but rows of them.

He also wasn't sure if he didn't look carefully the last time he came, he didn't even see the big machine for slicing meat rolls, or if Qiongqi got it out of nowhere.

Ye Yao: Forget it, I don’t want to know either.

But he had to admit that with this thing, it was enough for them to open a hot pot restaurant, so there was no need to worry about not having enough meat rolls.

Qiongqi's skills are not limited to these, he even made a very large pot, which must have been specially made by someone, because the size is about the same size as the Eight Immortals table.

Ye Yao thought to himself, such a big pot must be delicious to eat.

The only problem is that they can only eat standing up because the pot is too big.

It's also good to eat standing up, and you can eat more than sitting down.

But at night, Ye Yao really realized that he was thinking too naively, the charm of hot pot is almost infinite, not only those strange beasts who ate cooked food in the store before, even the strange beasts who ate raw food were attracted here up.

As for the soup base, Qiongqi spent a lot of effort to boil it. He refused to use the sea bottom material that he bought and could use directly. Instead, he boiled it bit by bit by himself. When cooking the soup base, Qiongqi basically uses whatever is good.

It's really scary to smell the alluring aroma before eating it.

Saliva is coming out.

There is a flame burning in the special stove under the pot. Bi Fang, who is known as the god of fire, is here. Adjusting the temperature is not a piece of cake. It didn’t take long for the pot noodles to start boiling. Ye Yao glanced at Qiongqi and said, “You can eat it.” right?"

All the members of Shanhai Pet Shop looked at Qiongqi with the same look, pitifully.

Qiongqi snorted from his nose and said, "Eat."

It can be said to be very authoritative!

All of a sudden, everyone who was able to use chopsticks did so, even if they were in the shape of a beast, they scooped up meat in the cauldron with a small colander in their mouths.

Anyway, the top of the colander was thoughtfully made with a heat-insulated handle, not to mention that all the animals present were all wild animals from mountains and seas, who would be afraid of the heat of the hot pot?

"It's been years since I've seen a situation like this."

With a small colander in his mouth, Samoyed spoke clearly.

"When was the last time you ate hot pot like this? How many years has it been since the Republic of China?"

After eating the meat, he sighed: "This pot is still made at that time!"

Ye Yao also became interested when he heard it. He was blowing the sliced ​​pork belly to cool down, and was going to feed it to the little unicorn waiting to be fed.

There is no way, the growth rate of the little unicorn is definitely different from that of ordinary animals. Meat porridge can no longer satisfy him, and he wants to eat hot sliced ​​meat in a hot pot. Throw the meat in the little unicorn into the mouth of the little unicorn, and his son still eats it with great relish.

Then Ye Yao knew that his son could eat meat, and shouldered the heavy responsibility of feeding hot pot.

Ye Yao sighed: "I only eat hot pot once in nearly 100 years. It's really expensive."

Samoyed said: "No way, he will give us something good to eat only when he is happy."

The veins on Qiongqi's forehead bounced, "I'm still here, you two!"

Samoyed didn't care about Qiongqi's presence, and then joked to Ye Yao: "Don't look at him like this, although many things happened this year, it is definitely the happiest year for Qiongqi."

Little Qilin: "Ma!"

With a cry, he attracted everyone's attention, and then exhaled a small ball of air from his mouth.

The air was so strong that it overturned the macaw that happened to land on the ground even though it only appeared for a short moment.

Fortunately, he had wings, so he flew up with a plop.

Samoyed said: "Hey, I can breathe out dragon's breath!"

Qilin is famous for its four images, and what comes out of its mouth is dragon's breath.

In a sense, spitting out the dragon's breath is proof that the unicorn has escaped from infancy.

If it were a human being, the baby would finally be able to walk!

The Samoyed, who knows a lot, said: "This is the name that should be chosen!"

"From now on, you won't be able to call like a little unicorn, you need to have a decent name."

The people and strange beasts present were stunned for a moment, and then boiled like dishes in a hot pot.

The first day of the new year is named, even if it is the lunar new year, it sounds good.

Then they look like Ye Yao and Qiongqi together.

Aren't they the self-proclaimed little unicorn's father?They must come up with a name!Ye Yao was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, looking at the cute little unicorn, his mind went blank.

What's the name?

Safety?

A vague idea came up, and Qiongqi clicked his tongue behind him: "Whatever name you choose, just call it Ping'an, doesn't it mean that a cheap name is easy to support?"

People around: ...

Do you have any misunderstanding about cheap names?According to what you said, it should be called Goudan!

But Ye Yao laughed when he heard Qiongqi's words.

He said: "Then call it Ping'an, my surname is Ye Ping'an, Ping Ping, An'an is fine."

"The meaning is pretty good."

Ye Ping'an opened a pair of big eyes, he didn't have a deep meaning for himself, and he didn't know anything about the new name that was announced in an instant.

The door suddenly opened.

"What's the smell? It smells so good?"

A gentle male voice came from the door, Fang Xueting's hands froze immediately, and her face became a little smelly.

Liar, come again!

Ye Yao looked back and listened to Di Ting with a smile on his face, not surprised at all.

"Can you help me add some tableware?"

He didn't go back to the capital at all, rented a small house nearby, and reported to the office on time every day, even if Qiongqi cleaned up a few times, he couldn't drag him away.

And, since Truth heard it...

"Add me a pair too!" Su Min poked his head from behind him.

"Happy New Year, Boss!"

Ye Yao couldn't help but say, "Happy New Year."

Qiongqi said viciously, "Throw them out!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw two uninvited guests rushing into the house and closing the door behind him.

"hot pot!"

Both eyes lit up.

"It smells super good!"

After the snow stopped, the sky was clear, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.

Inside the store, the smell of hot pot is everywhere.

The neon lights in front of the square are flickering. Even if the snow on the ground has not been completely cleared, it can't stop people's enthusiasm for coming out on the first day of the new year.

On the super big screen in the shopping mall, the New Year greetings of celebrities and celebrities were scrolling. The young dual-core smartphone with a touch of red on his head wished thousands of fans: "On the first day of the New Year, Kong Xuan is here to wish everyone Good health and happy family."

This is a New Year's Eve full of hot pot smell and warmth.
