Was fired and opened a gourmet food store

June 1st Square.

Like Jiefang West Road, it is one of the three major business districts in Jiangcheng, and it is also New Year's Day.

Not only are there many pedestrians outside, but the various shops inside are also crowded.

However, there are also some small surprises in this prosperity.

For example, this hot pot restaurant in the corner of the third floor in the square.

"Unknown hot pot."

Standing in front of this plaque, Xu Ziqi muttered silently.

There is no waiter at the door.

He just looked inside.

The space inside is quite large, anyway, it is larger than his food park.

But in such a large space, there are only a few tables of people eating.

And such a customer flow is not a little bit worse than other restaurants on this floor.

"I don't know if the boss is more modest or he knows more about it, and he actually gave it such a name."

Xu Ziqi smiled.

This store doesn't look very delicious from the outside.

"Do you want to eat here?"

He turned around and asked Ye Xiaoyu.

After returning from the amusement park, Ye Xiaoyu said that she hadn't eaten hot pot for a long time and wanted to go.

So the two of them looked around in the square.

But the hot pot restaurants with a little fame were full of people, and there was a long queue outside.

If they had to queue up, they would be hungry by the time it was their turn.

So the two of them tried to find a place where there were not too many people.

After searching for a long time, they came to this "unknown hot pot restaurant".

Ye Xiaoyu hesitated at this time.

In fact, her requirements were not high.

The food didn't need to be delicious, just passable.

After all, Xu Ziqi had spoiled her taste, and the food made outside, no matter how delicious it was, would not be very good.

"Uh, how about taking another look?"

Since the appearance of this restaurant did not look passable, Ye Xiaoyu asked Xu Ziqi for his opinion.

Xu Ziqi also nodded in agreement, "Okay, then we'll look for it again."

When they turned around and were about to leave, they heard a voice coming from the hot pot restaurant.

"Two handsome men and beautiful women, do you want to eat hot pot?"

Xu Ziqi turned around and saw that it was an ordinary middle-aged man trotting over.

He had a smile on his face, his voice was very enthusiastic, and he was not wearing a waiter's uniform. He should be the owner of this restaurant.

And he quickly continued to speak, "Come in and sit down. The taste is absolutely guaranteed, and the ingredients are all real. I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Hearing this, Xu Ziqi looked at Ye Xiaoyu.

And Ye Xiaoyu also looked at her watch.

He hesitated for a moment.

"Or, let's eat here."

She asked Xu Ziqi for his opinion.

It was past 12 o'clock, and her stomach was already growling with hunger.

If she went to another restaurant, she didn't know when she could eat, so she wanted to make do with it.

Xu Ziqi also smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The boss saw that there was something going on and began to lead the way inside.

The two chose a seat and sat down.

After reading the menu, they ordered a double-boiled pot, one with butter and one with tomatoes.

Then they ordered some side dishes.

Since there were not many people, the dishes and the pot base were served not long after the order was placed.

After taking off their coats and mixing the dipping sauce, the two began to eat.

Xu Ziqi first rinsed the beef, then put it in Ye Xiaoyu's bowl and said with a smile: "Eat it, aren't you very hungry?"

Ye Xiaoyu smiled sweetly, "Thank you, dear, you eat too."

Then she responded with the same action.

Xu Ziqi picked up a piece of beef from the bowl and plate.

Put it in his mouth and tasted it.

Then he nodded.

This beef is indeed the same as the boss said, it is indeed real.

It's just that the taste...

It's a bit too ordinary...

Not only does it lack the aroma of the tomato pot, but the taste of the ingredients themselves is also covered up.

The two mixed together, and there is no good chemical reaction.

"This tomato pot is not good, try this beef oil."

Thinking so, he picked up a few more beef rolls and put them in the spicy beef oil pot to scald them.

After eating, he frowned slightly again.

This beef oil pot is not very good either...

It's called spicy, but it's not spicy enough, and there's no aroma of butter, it's a bit weird.

And when beef is put in, the aroma of the beef itself is completely robbed, and it tastes completely awkward.

"This tastes too tasteless."

Xu Ziqi frowned and put down his chopsticks.

Since he got the blessing of the God of Food System, he usually makes food that is hundreds of times more delicious than this.

Not to mention the normal level, he doesn't even look down on the master-level food in the eyes of ordinary people.

MoreNeedless to say, this is not even up to the normal level, and even a slightly worse hot pot.

When Xu Ziqi put down his chopsticks.

Ye Xiaoyu also put down his chopsticks like him.

When she tasted this thing just now, she felt that it tasted like chewing wax and was a little disappointed.

In fact, this thing is not that bad.

The main reason is that she has eaten too much food made by Xu Ziqi. Compared with the two, this level of hot pot is too bad.

This is probably another meaning of going from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"The food here is so ordinary."

Ye Xiaoyu complained: "It stands to reason that hot pot is delicious no matter how it is made, but why is it like this here."

Xu Ziqi also shook his head.

"Hot pot mainly depends on the soup base and ingredients."

"The ingredients are real, and the taste is normal."

"But this is not an advantage, after all, there are many restaurants that use real ingredients."

"And the soup base is a bit bad. If the soup base made by a normal restaurant can get 60 points, this one can only get 50 points."

Ye Xiaoyu also nodded.

She also agreed with Xu Ziqi's statement.

In fact, except for the slightly worse soup base, everything else is fine.

If it is a little cheaper and the target group is also placed in groups such as students, there will still be many people coming to patronize.

But it is not cheap at all.

Just ordering such a few things, it costs more than two hundred.

The average consumption level of more than one hundred per person, with this quality, it is really not qualified.

"No wonder the business here is not so good."

Ye Xiaoyu muttered softly, and then held Xu Ziqi's hand, "Honey, we should look for another one."

Xu Ziqi smiled, "It's okay, just eat it, at worst I won't come next time."

Ye Xiaoyu nodded obediently.

I chose the restaurant myself, and I have to finish it even if I cry.

And Xu Ziqi also got up and prepared two more dipping sauces.

After all, he has mastered a lot of cooking knowledge, and he still knows a lot about the knowledge of dipping sauce.

And through the tasting just now, he already knows how to mix the dipping sauce to better match the pot base and food.
