Return To 1998

After the soup base and the soup were on the table, Xu Tongdao and Zheng Qing blanched some dishes and tasted them. Zheng Qing said in a surprised tone, "Hey, this taste is okay!"

Xu Tongdao nodded slightly, "Yes, not bad!"

At least it tastes better than the hot pot he has eaten in Water Bird City in the past two years.

What he just tried was the hot dish at the bottom of the red soup pot. At this time, he tried a slice of hot potato at the bottom of the white soup pot, and it felt okay.

So, he opened the handbag he carried with him, took out a small notebook and a ballpoint pen from the bag, opened the first page, and wrote on it: Liu Yishou hot pot, after this line of words, ticked.

In addition to the taste of the soup base, he thought it was okay. He was a little disappointed with the dipping sauce.

It's not much richer than the types of dipping sauces in the hot pot restaurants he ate in Water Bird City, just a few dipping sauces.

He is now not sure if this hot pot restaurant has only a few types of dipping sauces, or whether all the hot pot restaurants in Wudu have a small number of dipping sauces.

He had a faint guess in his heart--maybe all the hot pot restaurants in Wudu currently don't have many types of dipping sauces.

reason?

It may be the limitation of the times!

In the years before his rebirth, the hot pot restaurants he had visited were really varied, with dozens of dipping sauces at every turn. There are many dipping sauces that most people may not have heard of.

He estimated that so many kinds of dipping materials should have been developed little by little over time.

Of course, this is a guess in his heart, which has yet to be verified.

At noon that day, he and Zheng Qing ate in this hot pot restaurant for more than an hour, drank a few bottles of beer, and only checked out after having enough food and drink.

When I left, I didn't ask if the recipes of this store could be sold.

He planned to try all the dozens of hot pot restaurants he found on the Internet before coming to Wudu.

Even if you want to buy a recipe, you have to pick the one that tastes best.

Unless the best-tasting companies are unwilling to sell the recipes, he will consider giving second place.

On the way back to the hotel, Zheng Qing handed over a cigarette and asked, “Xiaodao, you said that we have one meal at noon, one meal at night, and two hot pot meals a day. At the end of the day, we can only taste two hot pot restaurants. Taste, and you plan to taste dozens of hot pot restaurants this time. At this rate, we will have to stay here for many days this time!"

As he said, he chuckled slightly.

It doesn't matter to him. Anyway, all the expenses of this business trip are Xu Tongdao. He is only accompanying and assisting, which is similar to free travel.

But his words reminded Xu Tongdao.

"Well, what you said makes sense, so let's six a day! From tonight, let's hurry up, no matter which store we enter, we will only order a mandarin duck pot, and a few dishes, mainly to taste , And then hurried to the next one. Whether it’s noon or evening, those hot pot restaurants should be open for three or four hours. Let’s catch three at noon and three at night. It should be too late."

After Xu Tongdao finished speaking, Zheng Qing turned to look at him in surprise, with a wry smile, "Would you like to hurry up? This is wasteful. Every pot bottom is not cheap. Let's just blanch a few dishes and leave. It's too wasteful. Right?"

"It's okay! Anyway, the stores we plan to go to are all going to. No matter when we go, we must have some soup base.

If we are in such a hurry, it seems that every time we go to a restaurant, the soup base is quite wasteful, but overall, we can save a lot of money in blanching. Besides, we come here mainly for work, not really for traveling. , Come to enjoy the food, hurry up! As soon as possible, sing all the dozens of hot pot restaurants in the plan to save time. You have to fight with these restaurants and try to buy more recipes! "

"Oh, you are the boss, you have the final say! I mean."

...

That afternoon, they found a dealership selling second-hand cars and rented a second-hand van as a means of transportation for the next few days.

As for why not rent a car? Rent a van?

That's of course because the van is cheap and the rent is also cheap.

From that night on, the two of them drove this second-hand van like a star rushing to the market, going to this hot pot restaurant later, and then going to that hot pot restaurant. Every time they went to a hot pot restaurant, they ordered a mandarin duck pot, and then ordered Six or seven kinds of hot dishes, most of them are vegetarian dishes.

Regardless of the waiter's strange eyes, he was cheeky, and when the bottom of the pot was on the table, he took the time to blanch the dishes. The taste is average, and they will leave after a few bites.

The taste is good, but I just hurry up to finish these few hot dishes, and immediately check out.

That speed is like the reincarnation of a starving ghost.

But the efficiency is actually improved several times.

Every day at noon or evening, they can catch at least three hot pot restaurants, sometimes four or even five.

Compared with the time they spend eating, they go to every hot pot restaurant to order and wait for the dishes to be served, and the time for them to wait for the soup to boil and for the dishes to boil is longer.

Of course, there are accidents.

At noon on the third day when they came to Wudu, they only ran into a hot pot restaurant.

I won’t say the name of that hot pot restaurant.

Speaking of the soup base taste of that hot pot restaurant...just so! It’s not so good or bad. The reason why they didn’t rush to the second hot pot restaurant after eating this hot pot at noon was not due to the taste of the soup base in this hot pot restaurant, but because... After a while, they drove a van on the way to the next hot pot restaurant, Zheng Qing's expression suddenly changed, "Grass! Why does my stomach hurt suddenly? Path, path! Help me find where there is a public nearby? The toilet is not working anymore. This stomach hurts more and more. I trod my horse. Did I catch a cold while sleeping last night? It's not right! It's July, and it's so hot. How can I catch a cold?"

At that time, Xu Tongdao was a bit speechless and wanted to laugh.

Speechless because of this ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They probably won't be able to go to the three hot pot restaurants at noon today.

Want to laugh...Of course it is because of human inferiority-seeing other people's bad luck, I want to laugh.

"Okay! I'll help you find it, and you should also pay attention to whether there is a toilet on the side of the road."

...

As a result, before he helped Zheng Qing find the toilet, Xu Tongdao's face suddenly changed. He heard two sudden rumblings in his stomach. He was not afraid of this sound, but the moment the sound rang, he suddenly felt himself. There was a cramp in the stomach.

"Holding the grass... Why is my stomach hurting? Are we unacceptable, or something?"

For a while, he hadn't thought of other possibilities.

At this time, Zheng Qing had already covered his stomach with his hands, bowed his waist, and shrank in the passenger seat. Hearing this, he looked stunned, staying for two seconds, and then suddenly asked: "Let’s not... Right? Isn't the stuff in the hot pot restaurant clean just now?"

Xu Tongdao: "..."
