Chapter 208: Taste Spicy Hotpot
Lin Jiaojiao taught Zhou Xiaofeng and the others how to roll up the fruit leather, and then wrap it with cut oil paper, like candy.
"Uncle Zhou, when you go back, ask Aunt Lin to notify the other two stores to help collect the hawthorn fruits. If you can't finish them, just dry them. You can continue to make them even if there are no more fruits later."
She planned to put the fruit leather first, and then put the new hawthorn slices when there were no fresh fruits left.
"Okay, I'll go back and tell her later."
After she gave the instructions, she asked Xiaowu and Xiaoliu to get some hot water, and then she went back to her room to wash up and rest. She was very tired both physically and mentally.
Zhang Lianyu and Lin Fei ate one roll of fruit leather and stopped eating. They still thought the candied haws were delicious, but this one was a bit sour.
Lin Yiyan actually liked it very much and it suited his current appetite.
"Xiaozhi, make some more tomorrow. I want to have it as a snack."
"I want one too, thanks, brother."
Lin Yizhi rolled up the fruit leather and replied with a smile: "Okay, I'll go to the farm tomorrow to make more for you and bring them back. Do you still want to eat candied haws? I'll bring some back as well."
Both of them shook their heads. It was okay to eat something covered in sugar liquid occasionally, and since they had the fruit leather to satisfy their cravings, they didn't need it anymore.
After everyone rolled and packaged the fruit leather made tonight, there was a full basket.
Lin Yizhi first grabbed a handful and gave it to Zhou Xiaofeng, and gave the rest to Lian Yun.
"Uncle, my wife said to give this to the men and women in the dormitory so that everyone can have a taste."
Lian Yun took the basket and said, "Okay, then I'll thank Jiao Jie'er on their behalf. It's getting late, so let's go back first. Xiao Yu is leaving."
"Dad is coming soon. Xiaoyu is still catching Xiao Xiaobai."
The three little guys were surrounding the little rabbit. The little rabbit ran to Wu Yingchun's feet and he quickly held it down.
"I caught Xiaoyu, come quickly."
"I'm coming."
...
Last night, Lin Jiaojiao went to bed after taking a shower, and slept until she woke up naturally in the morning.
Because Malatang opens in the morning, she set the opening time as Sishi, which is nine o'clock in the morning, so she had a leisurely breakfast in the morning before getting on the carriage driven by Lin Dadan and heading towards Nanshan City.
When they were on their way to Chongkan Town, they met Master Wang's large group, and the two sides stopped when they met.
Lin Jiaojiao got off the carriage and looked at the long team. There were probably ten ox carts.
"Master Wang, are you preparing to start other work as well?"
Master Wang also got off the ox cart and came over with a smile: "Hahaha, that's right, the snow has started to melt these past few days, and it will be completely melted in a few days. Don't worry, Boss Lin, those who don't work won't be paid."
Yesterday she looked for all her co-workers, and it turned out that everyone was eager to come to the construction site and wait. After all, if they were asked to wait in town, they were afraid that something unexpected would happen.
There will be work to do after the New Year, and they don’t want to miss such a great opportunity.
Lin Jiaojiao smiled and nodded, greeted the people in the team behind her, and then chatted briefly with Master Wang before saying goodbye and returning to the carriage to leave.
By the time they arrived at the Zhiwei Malatang restaurant, it was already around 9:30.
She thought there were at most two or three people in the store trying something new. After all, it was neither too early nor too late, and it was a bit of an awkward meal time.
But I didn't expect that there were quite a few people sitting at the tables in the store, there was a long line at the cashier counter, and two cooks were busy working, sweating profusely.
After all, I just tried it last night, so I thought I would take it slow at first to let them get more familiar with it.
As a result, when they boiled the two pots of soup base in the morning, they immediately attracted a lot of people to watch, because the aroma of the hot pot was so strong that it could be said that the whole street was filled with this smell.
Sure enough, some people who were rushing to the city in the morning who had not eaten breakfast could not help but ask the price when they saw the set meal pattern painted on the mast.
They understood the meaning of the set meal at a glance: it included vegetables, rice, and meat, and the price written below was not expensive.
Out of curiosity, most of them ordered the vegetarian set meal. After all, the fifteen cents was just right for them as they were short of money.
Most of those who are more well-off order the meatball set meal, because they saw baskets of vegetables next to the cash register, and there were five meatballs in one bowl. Who wouldn't be tempted?
Tian Tian also came to join in the fun. She came to see Xingzi last night and heard her say that the spicy hot pot in their store was super delicious and that it was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten in her life.
She even complained that she used to eat pig food, which made her a little doubtful. Is it really that delicious?
She hadn't even reached the door of their store yet, but she could already smell the fragrance wafting through the street, which made her saliva water.
She turned her head and looked around, trying to find the source of the fragrance, and saw a lot of people gathered on the road ahead. She quickened her pace and walked over. Sure enough, the fragrance came from the shop where Xingzi worked.
At this time, everyone was watching and not many people came in to order food, so she hurried in.
"Xingzi, this thing in your store smells so good, I can smell it across the street, but why are you wearing this on your face?"
"This? The store requires it to prevent us from talking or sneezing and spitting saliva into the food."
"So thoughtful? You guys even thought of this. This is the first time I've heard of this."
Xingzi saw someone coming behind her, so she quickly reminded her, "Tian Tian, do you want to order a set meal?"
Tian Tian also turned her head and looked back. Sure enough, there were two people in line. She stopped chatting and looked at the menu on the wall.
"Then give me a sea fish set meal as well. I heard you say it was delicious last night, so I want to try it too."
"Okay, red soup or clear soup? It's thirty cents in total. Please pay first so I can give you a number. When your number is called, you can come up and get your set meal."
She felt it was so strange listening to her professional terms. Could it be done this way?
"I want the red soup. Let me count... Here are exactly thirty cents. Here you go."
Xingzi took the money and counted it quickly in his mind. After confirming that there was no problem, he put it in the cashier drawer and picked up the bamboo tag and handed it to her.
"This is number seven. When your number is called, go to the pick-up counter in front to pick up your meal. Enjoy your meal."
Tian Tian took the bamboo number plate and moved to make room. She looked at the number on the bamboo plate in her hand, then looked into the bamboo basket with her number. She watched the woman operating the big pot and she felt like she had discovered something new.
This is different from the usual hotel operation model and is completely unconventional.
Wonderful, wonderful.
Who came up with this idea?
"Number seven! Your set meal is ready, number seven."
She didn't expect it to be ready so soon. It seemed like she hadn't even waited for a quarter of an hour. She hurried to the food pick-up area and handed over the bamboo card in her hand.
She saw her set meal being pushed towards her. She picked up the tray, found a seat and sat down. She pulled out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder and impatiently picked up a piece of sea fish and started eating.
!!!
Xingzi really didn't lie to her, and she also felt that what she had eaten before was pig food.
