I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan

You Xia raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course there's no problem."

In fact, the topic of drinks and hidden menus was specially asked by Youxia to mention each waiter when receiving each guest, keeping a sense of mystery, in order to arouse people's desire to eat in private rooms.

As for the menu, there is nothing special, mainly some braised meat, and the drinks are also beer, white wine and strong wine that are generally available in hot pot restaurants. Beer is relatively cheap, and customers downstairs can also order it, while white wine and strong wine are much more expensive. .

You Xia asked Coney to hand him the hidden menu and said, "The hidden menu is on the last page. You can look at the picture and order whatever you want. I'll treat you to this one."

"Thank you for your generosity," Elgin said politely.

He took the cowhide-covered menu and opened it. The first few pages were full of hot pot dishes, and a series of stewed dishes appeared at the end.

Elkin looked at the menu, and at a glance, it was full of red meat.

The names of the dishes are very concise, and it is clear at a glance that there are stewed beef, stewed pig's feet, stewed chicken feet, stewed fat intestines, as well as beef offal, tendons, tripe, chicken wings, and pig ears. However, because he has never eaten it, he can't imagine it. Their respective tastes are different, and they can't be ordered at all.

In the end, he simply looked at the pictures and chose braised beef and braised pig's trotters. When he turned to the wine side, he didn't know what strong wine and white wine were, so he ordered a small bottle of each.

The lo mei was prepared long ago, and the dishes were ordered, and it didn't take long for Ko Ni to bring a plate.

The stewed beef is cut into thin slices and placed on a beautiful porcelain plate, with a thick marinade poured on it, and a few slices of coriander, which is very attractive.

The trotters are served in a small cup, and they are still steaming hot. When the lid is opened, a strong aroma wafts out. The trotters inside are ruddy and shiny, and the skin is crispy. It is very tasty at first glance.

As a rich and wealthy businessman, in order to follow the trend of the upper class, Elgin tasted all kinds of expensive barbecue, such as roast venison, roast wild boar, roast rabbit, roast swan, and even roast bear, roast peacock, so braised pig's trotters This kind of thing is not difficult for him to accept.

His eyes were fixed on the pig's trotters, and he asked, "Is this just picked up and eaten?"

You Xia nodded: "Yes, just eat it."

Although I think the picture may not be very elegant, but the steaming braised pig's trotters are really tempting. Elgin couldn't resist the temptation, put on the gloves provided as a gift, picked up the trotters and gnawed a big mouthful.

The skin of the pig's trotters, which had been simmering for a long time, was smooth and tender, and the tendons were still elastic. After one bite, the sweet and rich meaty taste filled the mouth and tongue, and Elkin almost cried out in surprise.

It's not that he has never tasted meat with a strong sauce, but this is the first time he has tasted a pig's trotter with a perfect blend of sauce and meat without a trace of fishy smell.

It's so delicious, Elkin sighed in his heart, gnawed on the pig's trotters like an addict, picked up a piece of beef and hot dishes in the hot pot with chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth at any time, his satisfaction was beyond words.

After Kony brought the wine, he took a sip of the baijiu and was even more shocked. He exaggeratedly praised: "This wine is so spicy that my stomach is on fire, but it's very enjoyable, my God, No wonder such a small bottle costs six silver coins."

After that, he raised his wine glass to take another sip of the stewed beef.

You Xia saw the blush on his face gradually, wondering if he was drunk again, the dull and drunken expression was exactly the same as when they first met.

Fortunately, Elgin has such an ability, he can think even when he is drunk, but his reaction is a bit slower.

In the end, he remained roughly sober and signed the contract.

This meal satisfied Elgin, and when he was helped down the stairs by his followers, he was all smiles.

You Xia sent him to the carriage, and handed a bag of 450 gold coins that she had prepared into his arms.

After Elgin left, Youxia returned to the store, went to the cashier and asked about the total cost of the meal, and settled the meal fee—for the sake of clear accounts, he had to pay even if he ate by himself.

After paying the bill, just as he was about to go to the kitchen to have a look, a long-haired man in a black cloak suddenly came over to block his way, and asked abruptly: "You are Mr. You Xia, can I ask you a question? ?"

Youxia looked at him in astonishment, before he could react, Xilin who was standing inside the cash register said in surprise, "Teacher, you come to eat hot pot too!"

Priscilla turned her head and glanced at the two cashiers, her expression was a bit confused, and she obviously didn't recognize who they were, but he still responded perfunctorily: "Oh, it's you, are you short of money to work here?"

Karina blushed and admitted, "Yes, but we won't delay our studies."

You Xia asked them: "You know him, is he a teacher?"

Shirene: "Well, he is our teacher of pharmacy refining, Mr. Priscilla, an intermediate pharmacist."

"That's right, it's me." Priscilla spoke very directly, and then asked Youxia: "Can I ask you, how is your tomato soup made, what ingredients are in it, and how long does it take to refine it?" time?"

You Xia was puzzled: "What are you asking these for?"

"I know my question is a little too much, but the tomato soup in your store is so delicious, I can drink that pot of soup without any other food!"

"If you think it's delicious, you can come and eat it often."

"But your store is only open for eight hours during the day, and I am usually active at night. If I come to eat at night, wouldn't I be unable to eat, not to mention that I often go out..."

Speaking of this, Priscilla couldn't help frowning, as if she was genuinely sad that she couldn't eat hot pot supper, "So if you don't mind, can you sell me the recipe so that I can eat it when I go out?" You can also prepare a pot anytime, anywhere, don’t worry, I assure you, I will only use the formula I bought for myself, and I will never use it for any profitable things.”

"Sorry, I'm afraid it won't work." You Xia refused without thinking, "But you reminded me that I can still make hot pot bases for sale."

Although the shelf life of the hot pot base without any preservatives is a bit short, but it is sold on the same day, and there may be customers like Priscilla who are willing to buy it.

As for the problem of antisepsis, it is not completely unsolvable. You can ask the great magician at home if there is any magic to preserve food, or ask Mr. Burnis if there is any medicine similar to food preservatives.

"What?" Priscilla didn't quite understand what he meant.

You Xia smiled and said: "You will know in a few days. In short, you don't have to worry about not being able to eat hot pot late at night. I have already figured out a suitable countermeasure."

Priscilla's eyes widened in confusion: "Really?"

"Well, thank you for your reminder." Youxia turned to Shilin and said, "Since this gentleman is your teacher, please give him some coupons."

"Okay boss." Xilin happily took out five coupons with Xia Zhisen's logo on the counter and pushed them to Priscilla, and reminded: "Teacher, please take care of it. You can get [-] copper coins off for every [-] copper coins spent, and this coupon can be used across stores. In addition to hot pot restaurants, other Xiazhisen stores, such as milk tea shops and fried chicken shops, can also be used in stacks! "
