Chapter 362 Hot Pot City Opening
Chapter 362 Hot Pot City Opening
"How can I be assured that you can do it alone? Even if I am assured, my uncle will never be assured. Don't worry, mother, I was promoted based on my real ability. No one can take my position. What's more, it's not a good position."
Ye Xingzhou knew what his mother was thinking. His family was a big family and everyone said that they had achieved what they had today because of the favor they had shown to the emperor. However, everyone seemed to have forgotten that his mother was originally a princess.
Before being exiled, the Ye family was a group of trusted officials in the court, and there had never been any mediocre people among the Ye family.
"What's more, mother, I work for the Ministry of Revenue. I found a high-yield crop in Tongxu County, so I came here to verify it. It's also my duty."
Yun Ran nodded, feeling very relieved when talking about this.
"I heard that it was your brother-in-law and his step-wife who did this. From what Xue'er said, his step-wife is also a good person and treats the child very well."
Ye Xingzhou said nothing.
Perhaps because he had seen too many cases of second wives treating stepchildren badly in the capital, he had reservations about this.
If he really treats the children badly, he must take them back to the capital.
Of course, if it was a good thing, he would also want to take the children back to the capital. He had finally found his niece, so how could he bear to leave his relatives so far away.
However, he also knew that the child could not live without his parents. If his brother-in-law insisted on not going to the capital with them, they would not be able to take the child with them.
"Also, don't mention taking them to the capital when you get there. Xue'er said that couple is very nice. They are developing agriculture and running a workshop here. They have a career. I'm afraid it's impossible for them to follow us back to the capital."
"The child is still young and cannot leave his parents. Let's see the situation and then talk about this. The child is still alive and I can see him. It is already a gift from God. Xue'er still has the manor. At worst, I can live there too."
Yun Ran seemed to have made a plan before leaving Beijing.
Everyone likes the capital city because of its wealth and glamor, but when she actually lives in the capital city, she misses the days when her family lived in exile and had to eat coarse food.
Although life is harder, people’s minds are simpler and they get along better with each other.
Now that her son has grown up and has started his own family, she doesn't have to worry.
I just want to spend more time with my granddaughter to comfort her spirit in heaven.
How could Ye Xingzhou not know what his mother was thinking?
My mother has suffered so much in her life. Now she has finally reaped the rewards of her hard work and has found Nichang's child. So, let her go with her.
As a child, the greatest filial piety is not what you think you can give her, but letting her do whatever she wants and live the life she wants.
The carriage sped away, raising a cloud of dust on the official road and sped away.
Su Wanwan and Shen Yuan had already arrived in the county town and went straight to the hot pot restaurant.
Bai Shao was naturally confident in what he did. The hot pot city had been kept mysterious before, which aroused everyone's speculation and curiosity.
The restaurant opened today and the streets were packed with people, all coming to watch the fun and to see what was so special and mysterious about the restaurant opened by the Bai family this time.
It’s not like they’ve been to the Bai Family Restaurant to eat before, so what else can they do?
Su Wanwan was also shocked when she saw this lively scene. Bai Shao was definitely a business genius.
It was a good idea to work with him.
The doorplate was covered with red silk, and the strong smell of hot pot base wafted from inside.
The fragrance spread far and wide and could be smelled in the streets nearby.
Some people even tilted their heads back, as if they were smelling the aroma, which aroused everyone's appetite.
In addition to preparing the base ingredients, bone soup is also boiled. This is used to add water to the hot pot. It is rich, white and fragrant, mixed with the flavor of the hot pot base. Well, Su Wanwan's stomach is also going to be upset.
Making hot pot at home and eating it in a restaurant are two completely different experiences.
Bai Shao was waiting for them. Seeing that they couldn't squeeze in, he sent a waiter to lead them in through the back door.
Su Wanwan and Shen Yuan just came to take a look today and did not want to show up. Bai Shao took care of everything. As soon as they arrived, Bai Shao immediately had people set off firecrackers and unveiled the red silk.
The three large gilded characters "Bai Ji Hot Pot City" appeared in everyone's sight for the first time. Originally, Bai Shao wanted to give the name of the hot pot city to Su Wanwan, but Su Wanwan didn't want to be too high-profile. This hot pot city was originally managed by Bai Shao, and outsiders only knew that it belonged to the Bai family.
What's more, Bai's Restaurant is already quite famous, so it is recommended to just use Baiji.
Su Wanwan is the worst at naming, just like her tofu skin workshop. She couldn't think of a nice name at first, so she ended up using the name of the village.
It’s simply called big willow tree yuba.
She felt that when doing business, it was better to keep the name simple and easy to remember; if it was too elegant and complicated, it would lose its appeal to the masses.
Seeing these big words, everyone started talking about it, not understanding what this hot pot was.
People know that it sells food, but those who don’t know would think it sells iron pots.
"Big opening promotion, all dishes are half price, hot pot base is 30% off, for three days."
Bai Shao announced the opening again, and the hot pot restaurant was officially open for business.
After the autumn harvest, the people finally said goodbye to the aftermath of the drought, and their lives have fully returned to normal. The rich families no longer had to pretend to be poor, and when they saw such a novel restaurant selling food at half price, they were naturally happy to give it a try.
What's more, the smell was so overbearing that it made their internal organs feel like they were in trouble. Plus, with so many people rushing in, they moved even faster.
I was afraid that if I didn’t hurry up I wouldn’t be able to squeeze in.
In fact, if you eat slowly, you really can’t eat it.
Bai Shao was very good at hunger marketing. Seeing that there were so many people, he directly sent people to distribute number plates.
There are only thirty tables in his hotpot restaurant, but he prepared food for sixty tables. The number plates ended at number sixty, so he asked them to come in the evening or tomorrow.
After the first group of thirty tables went in, the other thirty numbers had to wait outside. Smelling the fragrance, no one left.
Bai Shao also sent a servant to bring them stools and even serve them tea, asking them to wait patiently.
Su Wanwan and Shen Yuan have already gone upstairs to the private room, and they will naturally have lunch here.
Because the amount of chili is too little, the hot pot city mainly offers bone soup pot and mushroom soup pot, as well as a braised large bone pot.
Of course, there are spicy hotpots, but they are very expensive and in limited quantity, with only five hotpots available every day.
Because it was a double-pot, many people ordered bone soup and mushroom soup. The braised large bones were in a separate pot and could not be served in a double-pot. Only five tables ordered this.
Everyone was very curious about the shuangyan hotpot. They didn’t expect that one pot could have two flavors. It was very strange.
Of course, this way of eating is even more strange. Seeing the fresh dishes that are not cooked at all being served, I was stunned.
Is this to be made and eaten immediately?
A waiter helped light the charcoal fire and told them how to eat, and they became excited.
You have to make the dipping sauce yourself, which includes sesame paste and mashed garlic, as well as meat sauce, green onions, coriander, and chili sauce. The portion is small, so you have to pay extra for it.
