Rebirth: Bringing Space to a Well-off Society

At noon, Xu Liang followed the address given by Instructor Liang to find the small shop, where Lin Yuan was making soup.

"Little glutinous rice balls, someone is looking for them." Wang Tao was obediently picking vegetables, and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Wait a minute, I'll be out right away." Lin Yuan put the lid on the pot, turned the heat to medium, washed her hands and went out.

Xu Liang reflexively stood at attention: "Hello, little boss."

Xu Liang was a little lame because of his injuries, and when he stood at attention, his right foot was slightly raised on tiptoe, which looked a little funny.After retiring from the army, he couldn't find a job. He was forced to work in the brick factory in the village to make ends meet. His dark face made him look ten years older than his peers, so that Lin Yuan said, "Uncle Xu , you can call me Xiao Lin."

"Yes."

Lin Yuan asked him to sit down and brought him a glass of water: "I heard from Instructor Liang that you are a good cook, what kind of dishes do you know?"

Xu Liang said: "I just know how to cook some home-cooked Sichuan dishes."

“The home cooking is also good.”

What Lin Yuan can cook is only some home-cooked dishes. After all, he did not go to a special cooking school, and the cooking skills were learned in the small restaurant where he used to work.However, although home-cooked dishes are simple, not every chef can do them well and make them taste like 'home'.

He continued to ask: "I don't know if Instructor Liang has told you that I am currently recruiting people mainly to be in charge of the hot pot. Will you do it?"

"meeting."

"Okay, I'm cooking hot pot right now, come and taste the taste with me, and tell us what you think."

When the two of them went in, Wang Xiaotao whispered to Zhang Yuexin quietly: "Little Tangyuan really looks like a boss."

Zhang Yuexin said with a smile: "That's right, do you think that his stern look is so special..."

Wang Xiaotao smiled meanly: "It's so cute, isn't it?"

Zhang Yuexin nodded in agreement.

"You two speak ill of the boss behind your back, be careful what I sue you for." Granny Zhu said with a smile.

"..." The two immediately shut their mouths obediently, acting like good citizens.

As soon as Xu Liang entered the kitchen, he smelled a strong smell of hot pot. Under the signal of Lin Yuan, he lifted the lid of the pot, skillfully used a spatula to shake off the oil on the surface, and scooped some soup from the bottom of the pot into a bowl. Here, after cooling down, I took a sip.

"The soup base has a strong fragrance, and the spicy taste is slightly lighter than that of Chongqing hot pot. There is also less fresh pepper in the soup. However, there should be something more in this soup than traditional hot pot, otherwise the soup will not be so delicious. , the color of the soup will not be so red." Xu Liang truthfully expressed his feelings.

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction, and pointed to a glass bottle next to the pot: "The thing you mentioned is it. It is brewed according to the secret recipe handed down by my family. Adding it to the hot pot can enhance the taste. It is very difficult to make this thing." It’s not easy, when you make hot pot in the future, just add a small drop to each pot, and I’ll lose money if you add too much.” He pretended to be serious and said, “Don’t mention this to the third person, it’s me trade secrets."

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Xu Liang was very happy to know that he was hired: "Yes!"

The ancestral secret recipe is of course purely fictitious, and the colorless and odorless liquid in the glass bottle is the diluted lake water in the valley.Lin Yuan has already discovered that if you add a little pond water when cooking, the taste of the dishes will be elevated to a new level, and its effect is somewhat similar to the "one drop of incense" and "poppy oil" of later generations.

At this time, merchants generally add 'poppy shells' to hot pots. This stuff is easier to buy, and people will become addicted if they eat too much, and naturally there will be more repeat customers.

Of course, these things that endanger the health of the human body are simply weak compared to the pool water. At this time, Lin Yuan has not realized how much economic benefits this "ancestral secret recipe" will bring him.

Next, Lin Yuan talked to Xu Liang about some specific job requirements, working hours, and remuneration. After talking, the hot pot was almost done.

He took the pot out, Grandma Zhu had already cut out all the vegetarian dishes, Zhang Yuexin helped bring them over, and Wang Tao brought all the meat dishes like ham sausage, hairy tripe, meatballs, and crispy meat that he bought earlier Plate and serve.

After everyone sat down, they each adjusted the oil dish according to their own taste.

Wang Tao swallowed, with a greedy expression on his face: "Can you eat the glutinous rice balls?"

"Okay."

Wang Xiaotao's eager chopsticks got the order and immediately got into the bottom of the pot, picked up a big piece of chicken, rolled it into the oil dish, blew it, and opened his mouth to bite down.

The spicy and delicious aroma of the hot pot melted into this small piece of chicken, and the steaming chicken brought the top enjoyment to the taste buds.

"Well, it's delicious."

It's not that Wang Tao has never eaten the most authentic hot pot in the legend, and the taste is really good, but when he compares it with the hot pot cooked by Xiaotangyuan, he immediately feels that something is missing.Wang Tao couldn't tell what it was, he only knew that if he didn't move faster, the chicken would be robbed.

Zhang Yuexin's family conditions are not good. It is the first time he has eaten hot pot in the true sense when he grows up. It is so delicious that he can't wait to swallow his tongue.

He raised his head to say something to Lin Yuan, but saw that Lin Yuan's face was reddened by the hot pot, her light pink mouth was dyed with a bright color, her cheeks were moving, and she suddenly swept towards Lin Yuan He lowered his head in a panic.

He wondered why he felt guilty just now?

Lin Yuan didn't pay much attention to his small movements. He scooped up a bowl of clear soup in the middle of the pot and let it cool down. He tasted it, and it was really good.

He specially made this clear soup with medicinal herbs and chicken. It is very nutritious and delicious. This idea comes from an old-fashioned hot pot restaurant. The nourishing soup they launched is very popular. No one in Q City has made it so far. I believe it will be can win the market.

However, for the self-service vegetable hot pot he wants to run, it would be a big loss if he used chicken to cook the soup. The stick bone is the best choice, it is cheap and delicious, and it is the most suitable soup base for hot pot.

After lunch, Lin Yuan wrote a list and handed it to Xu Liang: "Uncle Xu, you should buy all the items on this list tomorrow. I expect the business to open next Wednesday afternoon. The time is tight. Brother Wang and I have to In class, I can only trouble you to work harder."

Xu Liang said: "It's not hard work, this is what I should do. Thank you boss for giving me this opportunity." Although Lin Yuan looked like a child, he didn't feel awkward calling the boss at all. Could it be that this is Is there a reason why Mr. Liang asked me to keep an eye on him?That's right, such a person will definitely be the pillar of the country when he grows up, and the chief is the chief, and he really cares about the society.

If Instructor Liang, who has a dark heart, knows what he thinks, will he be ashamed and ashamed?

After that, everyone worked hard for a few days, and finally opened on Wednesday afternoon as scheduled.

The brand-new shop immediately attracted the attention of consumers, and the business of selling potato chips in the alley suddenly became colder.

The eye-catching sign outside the small shop reads: Vegetable self-service hot pot is launched, 8 yuan per person, and free fried potato chips are included for trial opening.

There were a lot of customers, but no one was willing to try it. Until 07:30 in the evening, Instructor Liang brought a dozen soldiers over.

Instructor Liang is dressed casually today, wearing jeans and a white shirt. He looks several years younger, like a college student who just graduated, with a slight smile that blinds countless eyes.

"Instructor Liang, why are you here when you have time?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

"Didn't you say you are reopening today? I specially brought someone over to cheer you on." Instructor Liang smiled and said, "Also, don't call me Instructor Liang outside, it's too natural, call me Brother Xi Wen will do."

Lin Yuan thought about it for a while, and the title 'Brother Xi Wen' was a bit sleazy, he couldn't say it out, so he could only call out dryly: "Brother Liang."

"..." It seems that the intimacy still needs to be improved. Instructor Liang smiled and said, "Okay, then get us a few tables of hot pot, and we will have a good meal today."

Lin Yuan said calmly, "I only have vegetable hot pot here."

"Then can we bring our own cooked food?"

"can."

"That's good." Instructor Liang took 200 yuan from his wallet and handed it to a soldier: "Daxiong, go buy 10 catties of braised pork and two sweet-skinned ducks. Hurry up."

"Yes."

Daxiong took the money, wandered outside for a while, and came back with cooked vegetables. His comrades were eating vegetables happily one by one.

He handed the cooked vegetables to Xu Liang and asked him to help find a plate to put them on. He found an empty seat and sat down, then abducted his brother on the lower berth: "Hey, you guys have changed your sex. You don't eat meat and you eat grass instead?"

"Fuck you, a dog can't spit out ivory, you taste it yourself, I promise you have never eaten such a delicious vegetarian dish in your life."

Nobita snorted, vegetarian is vegetarian, can it taste better than meat?He took a slice of potato and let it cool down, taking a bite.

The moment the potato entered his mouth, his eyes lit up, hey, he had never eaten such a delicious potato in his life.

The stewed pork that I bought was left out in the cold, and finally it was burnt into a hot pot before it was wiped out. After eating and drinking, Liang Xiwen said to Lin Yuan: "Little Tangyuan, your hot pot is absolutely amazing!"

If you like it, you like it, why rub my head?

Lin Yuan straightened her tousled hair, said with a smile, "It's okay, as long as Brother Liang likes it."

Liang Xiwen smiled meaningfully: "I like it, I like it very much."

It was getting late outside, so he paid Lin Yuan the money, and the group waved Lin Yuan goodbye: "Let's come again tomorrow."

Lin Yuan shook his hand holding the money, and said with a stiff smile, "Okay."

No wonder!

If I come again, I will be eaten up by your group of locusts!

Lin Yuan complained silently. He turned around and looked at the few vegetables left on the iron shelf. He complained silently in his heart: Actually, they are here to spoil the scene.

After this 'nice' start, people came to try Lin Yuan's vegetable hotpot the next day, and the response was overwhelming. Within three days, the hotpot tables at the back of the shop were full every day.

At the beginning, everyone thought that the 8 yuan/person vegetable hot pot was not worth it. The vegetable market only sells vegetables for a few cents a catty. How much can you eat if you open your belly to eat?

Besides, can hot pot be delicious without meat?

After they actually ate it, they realized that they were wrong. The taste was really delicious, and they would not get angry no matter how much they ate. There was also the clear soup, which was nourishing and delicious, and the taste left a lasting aftertaste.

The people of Q City are famous for their delicious food in the surrounding counties, so the business of the small shop is getting better day by day.

Immediately afterwards, someone began to find fault.
