Chapter 152

After the afternoon class, Liu Muye and Han Juyou sat in the classroom and selected a hot pot restaurant before packing up and leaving.

This reminded Liu Muye of when he was in college. When he went out for dinner with his roommates, he would first choose a cost-effective restaurant in school before going out.

When he was in college, the concept of online dining group buying coupons was not very popular. At that time, choosing a restaurant was all about word of mouth among students, or reading online posts about planting seeds.

Nowadays, few people believe in all kinds of group buying that are advertised on grassroots posts and short videos, because most of them are advertising and marketing that costs money - and you obviously just want to watch some short videos to pass the time, but you always I will keep seeing the same promotional video from the same store!

If you swipe it once, this ad will haunt you like a ghost. It’s really outrageous.

Liu Muye and Han Juyou chose an old hotpot restaurant with a good reputation but a mid-to-lower store rating.

According to Liu Muye’s experience, stores with mid-range ratings on this kind of group buying software will not be too bad.

Facts have proved that Liu Muye was right.

As soon as they arrived at the hotel, there was already a queue in the store, and all the big tables were full. Liu Muye took a seat at a small table for two, and sat with Han Juyou in the waiting area at the entrance of the store to drink tea.

The decoration style of this hot pot restaurant is very similar to the market style of the Sichuan area, and this market style is not like other new stores that deliberately imitate the old decoration of the market style. It is really old, so wait for it You can tell by the old creaky chairs in the area and the large ceramic teapot covered with pulp.

Fortunately for the two of them, a young couple came out of the store not long after waiting, and then the waiter called their number with a microphone.

The small table is actually not small, it can seat four people. The table top is made of wood and ceramics - the table is also covered with pulp like the big teapot outside.

But it's very clean and shiny, so it doesn't make people feel dirty.

There is not much difference between the prices of the online group purchase packages in this store and the prices of the dishes ordered directly in the store, so the two simply ordered from the menu.

I ordered a spicy pot and a mushroom soup pot at the bottom of the pot, then Han Tangyou ordered a bunch of meat, and Liu Muye only ordered a few vegetarian dishes.

"Why, Mr. Liu is saving money for me like this?" Han Juyou raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a sly look, "After looking at the menu for a long time, you only eat some vegetarian food?"

Liu Muye smiled and said, "Didn't you order so much meat? If I order more meat, it will be too much, so I will order some vegetarian dishes. I'll go with the meat and vegetables."

Han Juyou stared into Liu Muye's eyes and asked, "Are you really saving money for me?"

"That's not true!" Liu Muye said with a smile, "You are my girlfriend, why should I be so polite to my girlfriend, right?"

"Hmm, that's true."

"Eat first. If you don't have enough, order later. If you order too much, it's a waste. Do you know what waste is?"

"Okay, okay, okay."

After ordering, Liu Muye handed the menu to the waiter.

Soon, the dishes were served to the table one after another, and the bottom of the pot was served last.

The mushroom soup is just soup and water, but there are several pieces of oil in the spicy pot, and there are various powdery spices piled on top of the oil, as well as green and red peppercorns and chili peppers that are visible to the naked eye.

Just looking at this base material makes people drool like crazy.

The clerk added some Eagle tea soup into it and turned the heat up to maximum.

Like a curious kitten, Han Juyou used chopsticks to pull out the whole piece of base oil that had not melted.

She said: "Isn't this so spicy?"

"As soon as he brought the pot base to the table, I knew we were in the right place." Liu Muye said, smelling the aroma of the rich hot pot base, "This kind of old hot pot is better than those spicy hot pot bases of chain brands with clear soup and less water. Much more delicious.”

Han Juyou held her chin with her hand, blinked her big beautiful eyes, and asked, "Do you come here to eat often?"

Han Juyou's question stopped Liu Muye.

Eat here often?

How is it possible?

A good-quality hot pot meal costs more than 100 yuan at the cheapest price. He was reluctant to eat it when he was studying. After work, he was very tired from living on a budget. How could he have any money left to eat hot pot?

When I returned home during the Chinese New Year, I took my father to eat a hot pot meal with a good reputation in the county. He even quarreled with me because he ate two to three hundred yuan for a meal.

After that, he never took his father to eat hot pot again.

After graduation, it seems that I have never met anyone with whom I can share delicious food.

"It's not that often. I just have a lot of research on what I eat." Liu Muye looked at the mushroom soup pot that had been opened, added a piece of fat beef roll and rinsed it, "People live in this world so hard. Working and making money are actually just for... having a good meal!”

Liu Muye said, putting the perfectly cooked fat beef into the bowl of cold orange and pomelo: "Try it quickly."

"Is it really cooked?"

"It must be cooked, don't you believe me? Fat beef rolls are the same as tripe. They are delicious only if they are boiled like this, but they will become old if cooked for a long time."

"Oh, I, I don't know!"

Han Juyou said, blowing on the steaming fat beef roll, and then stuffed it into his mouth.

After chewing it twice in her mouth, she said with gleaming eyes: "Well, it's delicious!"

"There is a more delicious way to eat it. Just wait for me to prepare a secret dipping sauce for you!"

After Liu Muye finished speaking, he stood up and pretended to go to the food counter to get dipping sauce. In fact, he went to the front desk to deposit 500 yuan in advance.

He said to the waitress at the front desk: "You will deduct the bill directly from here when you check out later. If my girlfriend comes to pay, you can say that I paid."

The waitress at the front desk nodded, took the money and said, "Okay handsome man."

"Oh, by the way, do you have any special drinks here?"

"Yes, the store has recently added freshly squeezed lemon juice, which is served in a bear bottle. It's very cute. Do you want to order a drink for your girlfriend?"

The clerk said, picking up a half-drunk bottle of lemon juice from the table, "That's it."

"Okay, I'll give you a look and you'll give it away." Liu Muye hooked his fingers and said quietly to the clerk, "When you give it away, remember to tell her this..."

"Okay, no problem!"

After going to the front desk, Liu Muye quickly made two batches of condiments in front of the small food table and returned to his seat.

"Why have you been gone so long?"

Han Juyou looked at Liu Muye who came back in a hurry and asked.

After he left, Han Juyou didn't move his chopsticks, just waiting for him to eat together.

"You don't even know that there are so many people at the food stall, I was almost squeezed out!"

Liu Muye said as he handed his secret sauce to Han Juyou.

At this time, the bottom of the spicy pot happened to be boiling, so he picked up the meat scalding spoon and said, "Meat should be eaten in big mouthfuls to feel good!"

After saying that, he put a whole plate of fat beef rolls into a colander and put them into the hot pot together.

The steaming hot pot bottom scalds the meat into an appetizing color...
