Traveling through ancient times as a hunter

The next day, Xie Yuan came late, with the joy of being satisfied written all over his face.

Compared with him, Cheng Duo, who had been bullied by Brother Yong for most of the night, looked a little pale.

"Brother Cheng, are you...?" No way, the two of them are in a good relationship, why does Brother Cheng look like he wants to be dissatisfied?

Cheng Duo gave him a cool look: "It's nothing, I was drunk by a drunk last night, and I have a headache."

"..."

Xie Yuan sat down in embarrassment, and was about to ask Brother Yong, when he saw Brother Yong coming in with a tray of porridge, side dishes and steamed buns.

"Brother Cheng, breakfast is ready." Seeing Xie Yuan, he paused again: "Uh, Young Master Xie is here, have you eaten yet?"

Speaking of this, Xie Yuan was very proud, and said happily: "I ate it, the sour soup pimple slices that my brother An personally arranged for me, it's a good appetizer, I ate two big bowls!"

"Oh, I made clear porridge and assorted steamed buns for Brother Cheng, and I also pickled a bunch of small pickles myself. Since Young Master Xie has eaten it, we will eat it ourselves." Brother Yong did not doubt that he was there, and stirred with a spoon A bowl of steaming hot porridge was served to Cheng Duo and himself.

"...Isn't there someone in the back kitchen of the restaurant making breakfast? Why did you go there by yourself?"

How could Brother Yong be ashamed to say that he had a row with Brother Cheng in the middle of the night yesterday, and then he woke up from the wine and was so ashamed that he buried his head in the other party's arms before falling asleep.

When I woke up this morning, I was really embarrassed to see anyone, so I fled to the kitchen...

Cheng Duo was well aware of this, and seeing that Brother Yong was speechless, he raised his hand and picked up a steamed bun for him: "Eat quickly, let's go to the store together to have a look later."

"Oh." Brother Yong was happily biting the bun, and when he turned around, he found that Brother Cheng was chatting with Young Master Xie about the hot pot restaurant again.

"When a hot pot restaurant opens, we can set up a big bargain for the opening. If you spend 88 yuan, you will get a vegetarian platter; The VIP card can be upgraded by quantity. The lowest-level VIP card can give discounts; if it is higher, you can use the box directly without reservation, or limit the dishes. In short, the higher the VIP card level, the more face-saving the food. "

Xie Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he nodded again and again, and finally showed a thoughtful expression: "According to what Brother Cheng said, we can distribute some VIP cards of each level privately, but the highest level cannot exceed twenty cards, otherwise It lowers its value..."

"That's what it means. You decide how much and who to send it to, I don't care." Cheng Duo likes such smart people, and he knows everything.

After breakfast, the three of them went to Pipa Street to have a look. The steward in charge of the hotpot restaurant was already waiting, besides the carpenter and some other workers.

The storefront on Pipa Street is a small two-story building. Because it is a cooperation with Cheng Duo, the storefront is only written with the word "hot pot" on the bright yellow wood that is polished as smooth as a mirror.Black characters on a yellow background, dragons and phoenix dancers, quite imposing, and hot pot is the only food in Daxia. With only two words, this signboard can be regarded as "squatting" by them.

Cheng Duo already made some suggestions yesterday, for example, each table has a separate vegetable cabinet, the guy who adds charcoal can only use fixed moving wires to avoid scalding people, and there must be enough windows for ventilation, etc.

Although Xie's family runs a restaurant, they really don't understand the new situation of hot pot restaurants.So Cheng Duo told the reason for doing so, Xie Yuan listened to it, and directed the workers to rectify on the spot.

They were busy for three days, and at noon on the fourth day, the hot pot restaurant finally opened!

Since the morning, the whole Pipa Street, including the main road next to it, has been wafting a smell of fried chili.And the smell is getting stronger and stronger, more and more spicy, lingering in the air, and lingering for a long time.

"Ah Choo! Which restaurant puts so much chili in their cooking, you don't want it in your mouth?"

"Don't tell me, this smell is really delicious. I lost my appetite because of the hot autumn tiger, but I have an appetite again after smelling this smell."

"Fuck you, you can eat three big bowls if you don't have an appetite, you can eat it if you want!"

As soon as the voice fell here, there was the sound of beating gongs and drums at the intersection of the street, and there were dragon dancers and jugglers on the road.A group of neighbors saw that there was a lot of excitement to watch, and they all gathered around curiously.

With the help of his companion's hands, the leading juggler rolled in the air, landed lightly, and blinked vividly.

"Okay—" The lively crowd clapped their hands and applauded repeatedly.

"Hey, isn't this Young Master Xie? It turns out that this is the new restaurant opened by Xie's family!"

"What is written on the signboard of this restaurant, 'Hot Pot'? What is 'Hot Pot'? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Some diners were standing at the door hesitating, smelling the aroma in the store, when they heard the waiter at the door greet him enthusiastically: "We are opening a treat, and new customers will be given a glass of ice water when they enter the door, to cool off the heat and quench their thirst!"

"The hot pot is a gourmet recipe that our young and old specially found from outside the customs. It is made by the same person as Shaoguang wine. If you eat it in the store, you will not be disappointed."

"The first ten customers who enter the store will receive a [-]% discount."

"[-]% off!" Some diners who pay attention to their appetites are eager to move, and when they hear the "[-]% off" for the first ten people to enter the store, they immediately rush to squeeze in regardless of whether they have eaten the hot pot or not.

People have a herd mentality, and it is their nature to take advantage of small advantages, not to mention ice water is delivered to the store, if you don't go in, you will suffer!

After these people came in and saw the menu, they were hesitant to order more. Seeing that the people who came in first were eating in full swing, they were so delicious that they were drooling... Then I heard the waiter say that if you order a full 88 words, you will get a vegetarian platter, so wait. What, work harder!

"Huh, delicious!"

"Although it's a bit hot, it's really delicious. It's even more fragrant after being wrapped in garlic!"

"Hey, don't grab my meat!"

Compared with the slightly sweltering first floor, the condition of the private room on the second floor is much better. With the cool breeze blowing, drinking ice-cold pickled flower wine, and eating a freshly scalded goose intestine, it is so beautiful that it is almost heavenly!

Xie Yuan's friends all came to join him, besides, there were also some old business friends invited by Father Xie.

Originally, Father Xie planned to entertain some officials from Ershilipo, but the reputation of hot pot has not yet been established.In addition, after a month or two, it would be better to invite the doctor when the weather is cold, so he was not in a hurry.

Contrary to Cheng Duo's expectations, Guo Yizhi, who bought wine with him for 2000 taels, also came.

Guo Yizhi turned dark when he saw Cheng Duo: "Okay, you are here!"

He just listened to the clerk downstairs, and heard that the hot pot and Shaoguang wine were made by the same person, so he couldn't help but come in, and even broke into the box where Cheng Duo and the others were.

"Master Guo, why are you here?" Father Xie hurriedly greeted Guo Yizhi when he saw him staring at Cheng Duo, his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be because of that bottle of wine that Mr. Guo is not happy?

Of course, Father Xie didn't think Shaoguang wine was worthless.They sell a cup of 200 taels in their restaurant, and some people drink it with silver in their hands, and anyone who knows the goods knows how superb the craft of wine making is.

But no matter how good the item is, it doesn't prevent some people from returning it after regretting it for the sake of face.Father Xie has been in business for so many years, of course he knows that some people are very happy when they buy, and want to mess around when they have no money.

Although Guo Yi's family background is high, 2000 taels is not a small amount for him. There are so many children in the Guo family, it is impossible for everyone to spend money like water.

"Master Guo..." Father Xie was about to try to persuade him, after all, Cheng Duo is doing business with his son now, and Xie Yuan introduced it to the diners just now, so he couldn't stand by and watch.

And Cheng Duo is not easy to mess with, Father Xie thinks that if he is willing to join the army, it will be a matter of time before he gets ahead.

Neither side is easy to offend, so he can only try to smooth things over.

Cheng Duo was also a little guilty, he used a bottle of white wine to cheat Guo Yizhi for 2000 taels... Otherwise, he would give back a little?

"You told me clearly that there is only one bottle of Shaoguang wine, so what did you sell to the Xie family?" Guo Yizhi said angrily, don't think he doesn't know, the Xie family is still using his name to create momentum!

"Brother Cheng." Brother Yong grasped Cheng Duo's hand tightly. He is not stupid. Father Xie called this "Master Guo" respectfully. They would definitely not be able to offend him due to his status.

"It's okay." Cheng Duo patted the back of his hand, then looked up at Guo Yizhi: "Master Guo, when did I say that there is only one bottle of Shaoguang wine? What I said at the beginning was 'use a hundred times the ingredients of the ordinary brewing method , to brew this bottle', this obviously has two meanings."

Guo Yizhi thought about it carefully, and found that Cheng Duo did not say the only one bottle. He turned his head and looked at Father Xie for confirmation, and found that the other party nodded in embarrassment.

Father Xie is much better than Guo Yizhi. Although Cheng Duo didn't say that there was only one bottle, he hinted at it both in and out of words!

Seeing Guo Yizhi froze, Cheng Duo decided to strike first: "Your Excellency thinks that bottle of wine is not unique and worthless, and wants to ask me to return it?"

"That... that's not true." Guo Yizhi stammered, that bottle of wine was really the best fairy wine he had ever drunk, and he originally wanted to bring it back to the capital to taste for his relatives and friends.Unexpectedly, he would have a drink after reading a book, and drink another after writing a wonderful article... When there was not much in the end, he told himself that it would not be enough to take home anyway, so he might as well drink it himself: "..."

Let alone the wine now, he has rinsed the bottle several times, what will he give back to Cheng Duo?

"Then Mr. Guo still wants to ask me to buy wine?" Cheng Duo asked pretending not to understand, and before Guo Yizhi was embarrassed, he walked up the steps and said, "To tell you the truth, I sold two more bottles to Xie's family. It’s really gone. But this hot pot tastes good, and you can still eat it. You haven’t booked a box, why don’t you stay and taste it with us?”

It happened that Xie Yuan came over at this time. Hearing this, he said, "Although our hot pot restaurant doesn't have Shaoguang wine, the iced Shihua Niang is also delicious when paired with hot pot. My lord, please sit down, and I'll pour wine for you."

Guo Yizhi saw that there were steps and the wine was poured, so why hesitate, sit down and try it!

Father Xie originally wanted to take him to their box, but when he saw that Xie Yuan had left him behind, he didn't force him, gave him a "good hospitality" look and left.

Guo Yi is an old wine gourmet, and he also likes food, and from the fact that he likes spirits, he knows that his taste is not light.

As a matter of course, he fell in love with the hot pot immediately after he tasted it. He asked Cheng Duo, "This hot pot is also a recipe you got from outside the pass?"

"Well, this hot pot has been improved by a lot of people, so it has the taste that most people like today."

"So that's how it is..." Guo Yizhi slowly chatted with Cheng Duo, and what surprised him was that no matter what he said to Cheng Duo, the other party could hit the nail on the head and have something to say.

After drinking for three rounds, the two became acquainted, and with Xie Yuan making jokes, the atmosphere at the wine table was very good.

The only thing that made Guo Yizhi dissatisfied was that such a bold and unruly man like Cheng Duo turned out to be a person who hangs around his husband!Look, this is serving vegetables and pouring water, and I don't even bother to talk to him.

"Master Guo, forgive me, Cheng Duo is like this, Brother Yong even saved his life." Xie Yuan explained with an apologetic smile.

Guo Yizhi nodded when he heard the words. If this is the case, this Cheng Duo is indeed a hero who stands upright and knows how to repay his kindness.

Unexpectedly, he nodded halfway, and Cheng Duo retorted: "Of course not, Brother Yong and I are in love with each other. I respect and love him not just because he saved my life."

"Master Guo may not understand my experience, but you have traveled all over the world and seen famous mountains and rivers. Have you ever met someone who is willing to accompany you to die?"

Nearly forty years old, Master Guo who is still single: "..."

Cheng Duo took Brother Yong's hand: "If you die once, nothing matters." What is face?Compared with Brother Yong, he didn't care.

Xie Yuan: Ma Dan, he lost again!
