Because many people choose to entertain guests at home during New Year's greetings in the first month, the business of small shops is much worse than before. Lin Yuan had run a restaurant in his previous life, so he had expected this situation early on.

So after the store opened, he immediately launched a hot pot takeaway activity, that is, customers can pack the hot pot and take it home to cook and eat.

In terms of price, there is an extra 6 yuan for the bottom of the pot compared with customers eating in the store, and the price of chicken is the same as eating in the store, but the minimum selling price is 3 catties.In addition, if you use the hot pot pot from the store, you need to pay a deposit of 50 yuan.There are detailed regulations on the return of containers and the return of deposits.For example, if you return the utensils the next day, you will not only get a full refund of the deposit, but also an extra 2 yuan; if you return it within 3 days, only the full amount of the deposit will be refunded; The borrowing fee of 3 yuan will be deducted from the deposit every day until the deduction is exhausted.

This regulation largely avoids the phenomenon of not returning after long-term use.

Once this takeaway activity was launched, the business immediately boomed again.

Everyone who celebrates the Chinese New Year wants to have fun, cook a large table of dishes to entertain guests, not to mention whether the taste of the dishes is delicious, it takes a lot of time and energy to make these dishes.Therefore, when entertaining guests during Chinese New Year in City Q, they occasionally make hot pot at home, but unless they are professional cooks or people with good cooking skills, most of the hot pot tastes not very good, and at this time There are very few hot pot restaurants in China that sell takeaway.

So Lin Yuan, who was the first to launch hot pot takeaway, quickly seized the market.

Apart from ordinary customers, there are also other hot pot restaurants who want to steal the secret recipe of hot pot from Xiaodian.

In the past half a year, the delicacy of Linyuan hot pot has been widely spread in Q City, especially after the launch of chicken hot pot at the end of the year, it has become the most delicious and punctual hot pot in everyone's mind. Two or three established hot pot restaurants were not convinced by this statement, but after they tasted it for themselves, they began to pray that Lin Yuan would not expand the scale of the hot pot restaurant.

Of course, in view of that unrealistic idea, they started to come up with the idea of ​​Lin Yuan hot pot base recipe.

Before, I wanted to put some 'nails' in the Linyuan store, but unfortunately none of them succeeded, and the mouths of the people in the Linyuan store were all tighter than clam shells, and they couldn't get any news.

Therefore, after Lin Yuan launched the hot pot takeaway this time, they were all secretly happy, eager to find out the recipe.

"Cinnamon bark, aniseed ingredients, ginger, garlic cloves, Chinese prickly ash..." The owner of a certain hot pot restaurant didn't even have time to eat the hot pot, so he filtered out the ingredients at the bottom of the pot and carefully checked the ingredients.

"How is it?" asked the proprietress.

"The ingredients are not much different from ours, even poppy husks are not added, but why does his soup taste different from ours?" The boss was puzzled.

"Do you think he added something to the soup?"

The boss took another sip of the soup: "There is nothing special, but why does this soup taste so fresh?"

"Could it be that there is some secret recipe that we don't know?" The proprietress also took a sip of the soup, but she couldn't find anything special.

"Probably." This result made the owner of the hotpot restaurant frown.

Having been doing diet for many years, he knows very well that adding some inconspicuous ingredients to some foods will have unexpected effects, but this kind of secret formula is generally held tightly by people.Just like his goose intestines, he used a special cooking method to make the goose intestines taste crisper and more refreshing than others, so it has a place in the hot pot restaurants in Q City.And he couldn't even tell his own brother about this special method of preparation.

Now that Lin Yuan's hot pot had some kind of secret formula added, his mood fell to the bottom.

Several other hotpot restaurants also studied Lin Yuan's base ingredients in depth, and the conclusions they reached were almost the same as his. For a while, everyone was curious about Lin Yuan's "secret recipe".

Of course, no matter how curious and speculative they are, they are bound to fail to think of this 'secret formula'.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the lunar new year, Lin Yuan's 16th birthday.

Instructor Liang returned to Q City before his birthday. He probably got the news about Lin Yuan's birthday from Chen Ming. He prepared a gift for Lin Yuan early in the morning. To celebrate Lin Yuan's birthday, he went to Chen Ming's house early with a gift.

Wang Tao started preparing gifts for Lin Yuan earlier. After considering various things, he finally decided to buy two latest Motorola mobile phones. The two mobile phones were exactly the same. I got my own number, thinking that I will have a closer relationship with Lin Yuan in the future, and I feel sweet in my heart.

Others also prepared gifts for Lin Yuan. Compared with their expensive gifts, the notebook and pens given by Zhang Yuexin looked much shabby, but because they knew that his family was in a difficult situation, his gifts were still very precious.

At noon, Lan Mengling and the nanny aunt teamed up to cook a big table of sumptuous lunch. Not only did Wang Tao order a cake for Lin Yuan at Xinyi Cake House in advance, but he also asked his own mother to make a bowl of longevity noodles for Lin Yuan .

"How is it? Does it taste good?" Wang Tao blinked his eyes. This bowl of longevity noodles is the most successful one he has ever made. It smells delicious and tastes good too.

"It's okay." Except that the noodles were a little greasy, the noodle soup was a little salty, and the poached eggs in it were a little stale, everything else was fine.Well, in fact, Lin Yuan just couldn't bear to beat Wang Tao, and Lin Yuan would end up thirsty all afternoon if he ate the whole bowl of noodles against his will.

Because they knew that Lin Yuan would get drunk after drinking, everyone acquiesced in his substituting tea for wine.

Because of what his grandfather said, Liang Xiwen felt a little depressed when he thought of the past, and kept drinking.Today's wine is green plum wine made by Lin Yuan's gang Chen Ming. The wine is a high-purity original wine given by a 'friend', and the green plums are produced in Lin Yuan Valley.After soaking for more than half a year, the sour taste and fruity aroma of green plums have all melted into the wine. The wine tastes sweet and sour, but the alcohol content of the original wine is too high. Liang Xiwen drank several glasses in succession, and his face was already a little stupefied.

"Xi Wen, drink less of this high alcohol alcohol." Chen Ming persuaded.In fact, his relationship with Liang Xiwen was very ordinary before, they were just acquaintances who knew each other and nodded.Now the two are warming up because of Wang Jianguo's introduction, and because Wang Tao and Lin Yuan are training with him, and the two of them are in Q City together, and they have a sense of intimacy like meeting old friends from other places. After a period of time, the two can be regarded as successful friends.

"Well, this is really strong after drinking." Liang Xiwen rubbed the center of his brows, the rising alcohol made him feel a little uncomfortable in his head.Fortunately, he has strong self-control, so he won't lose his composure at the dinner table.

"Pure raw wine, can it be insufficient?" Chen Ming took a sip, and the aroma of the wine immediately spread in his mouth, sliding down his throat, full of sweet and sour taste in the spicy.

Lin Yuan had already suffered from being drunk last time. After the meal, he made a cup of strong tea for Liang Xiwen: "Brother Liang, drink some strong tea to relieve the bar."

Liang Xiwen took the cup: "Thank you." After drinking the strong tea, the alcohol was suppressed a bit, but his face was flushed, and he looked very drunk.

"Xiwen, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to the army like this. Why don't you just sleep with me and get sober before going back." Chen Ming said.

Liang Xiwen's head was a little numb from the alcohol, he thought for a while and said, "Okay." As a result, he staggered as soon as he got up from the sofa. If Lin Yuan hadn't supported him quickly, he might have fallen.

"I'll take you to the guest room." Lin Yuan said helplessly.

"Thank you." Liang Xiwen showed a very gentle smile at Lin Yuan, and his eyes met. Lin Yuan was a little embarrassed by his staring, and looked away.

After entering the guest room, Liang Xiwen sat on the bed and suddenly said to Lin Yuan: "I will wait for you to grow up."

Lin Yuan was stunned for a while, and forced himself to calm down and said, "You're drunk."

"No, I'm not drunk. Well, even if I'm drunk, but I promise this is what I mean." Perhaps because of being drunk, Liang Xiwen said what he always wanted to say to Lin Yuan.

"Have a good rest, I'm going out first." Lin Yuan ignored his words and left the guest room as if fleeing.

Lin Yuan didn't know how to respond to Liang Xiwen's confession-like words. Compared with starting a relationship, Lin Yuan was more worried about the exposure of the relationship that had not yet sprouted.Liang Xiwen is an excellent soldier, and he is still a student now, if there is something between them, and if others know something, both of them will be destroyed.

Whether timid or sophisticated, Lin Yuan is more content with his current life.

Therefore, in the next few training sessions, Lin Yuan deliberately avoided Liang Xiwen, and even made excuses for not going to training the last few times.Anyway, he has almost learned the self-defense technique, and Liang Xiwen may not be able to teach him the more advanced one-hit kill move, so it's the same thing whether he goes or not.

On this day, Lin Yuan was called by Liang Xiwen to train, there was no way to avoid it, so Lin Yuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the army with Wang Tao.

Wang Tao was still doing physical training. Lin Yuan's training volume was always less than his. He finished the training first and rested aside. Liang Xiwen called him to a secluded corner.

"Lin Yuan, is it because of what I said that day that you have been avoiding me?" Liang Xiwen didn't beat around the bush.

"..." Lin Yuan didn't speak, in fact he didn't know what to say.

"I didn't drink today, so I want to tell you seriously that I like you." Liang Xiwen put away his usual smile, with a serious and serious expression.

"..."

"Surprised, aren't you? You think it's strange for men to like men, right?" Liang Xiwen's gentle voice contained a hint of helplessness.

"No, I mean, it's nothing for a man to like a man." Lin Yuan explained dryly.

"Heh, if I say that I smell the same kind of breath from you, will you be angry?" Liang Xiwen returned to his face with a smile.

"..."

Lin Yuan used silence to express his acquiescence. He didn't want to be more hypocritical and said that he was not gay, and he didn't think there was anything worth saying about being gay.

"Sure enough." Liang Xiwen smiled and said, "Why don't you plan to think about me?"

"..."

"Well, that's all right. Don't be in a hurry to reject me. I still say the same thing. I will wait for the day you grow up." Liang Xiwen turned around and left without giving Lin Yuan a chance to refuse.

Someone from Uncle Pi Xin looked at his back and felt a lot of pressure.

Someone from Uncle Pi Xin really wanted to find a sand hole to bury his head in and hold an ostrich.
