"Hey! Sir, please come in. How many of you are there?"
Jiang Cha had just arrived at Liu Ji Shabu-shabu when the waiter at the door lifted the door curtain and invited her in.
The weather was getting hotter and business was average. Finally, a customer who looked like he had some money came, and the waiter quickly invited him in.
"Sir, where did your sheep come from?"
The hall of the store is not big, with only a few tables. However, there should be quite a few private rooms, and there are flowers in the middle of each partition door.
It can be seen that the store mainly does business in Liulichang. Some people like to come here to buy things from the stalls, and others like to listen to true and false stories.
Whether it is to celebrate or discuss business, you always need a quiet place.
This is probably what they do, otherwise why would a restaurant hall be the size of half a room?
"Our lamb is all imported from outside the country, so the meat is tender and not smelly. Since you're here today, we have a portion of lamb shanks that will become even more tender the more you cook them, and the taste is especially good."
The waiter put the towel on his shoulders and began to recommend to the customers according to the shopkeeper's request.
"Alright! Give me a plate of lamb's head, a plate of tripe, and a plate of tofu and garland chrysanthemum if there's any."
As soon as she ordered the food, the copper pot was brought up. It was so hot that she was sweating before she even started eating.
No wonder she was the only customer in the store. I don’t know if there was anyone in the private room.
Sesame sauce, pickled garlic, chili oil, chopped green onion and coriander, these essential condiments for hot pot were served and she could add them as she pleased.
When she took out the sheep's head, she was stunned. Wow!
There was no cabbage under the plate of meat, and the real ingredients looked completely different from the hot pot restaurants later.
The tripe was also served, with the top of the plate sticking out.
The water boiled and the meat was ready to be eaten. The sound of the charcoal fire crackling and the sound of her eating could be heard.
The only other sounds were the occasional conversations between the waiter and the shopkeeper, which showed how quiet the business was.
"Bill, please!"
"It's three dollars in total, thank you!"
After paying, Jiang Cha stood in front of the counter and didn't leave. He looked at the shopkeeper and asked casually while wiping his sweat.
"Your lamb is good, but the chili is fried so-so. I tasted bitterness inside. The chef heated the oil too hot. Next time I come, you must fry it a little crispier, okay?"
"Sorry! Maybe the chef made a mistake today. Next time you come, I'll definitely fry it to perfection! By the way, I saw you eating just now and it seemed like you overcooked the tripe. Wasn't it hard to chew?"
"It's okay. I'm tough, I can even swallow a rubber wheel!"
Let’s just say, which good person’s code is this?
If she hadn't witnessed the construction of the contact point on Mingzhu's side with her own eyes, she would have thought they were playing a trick on her!
Fortunately, she was the only customer in the restaurant. If there was another diner, they would definitely think that there was something wrong with this child.
Not only is his words irritating, but he's also a bit rude!
"Hey! Do you know how to talk? You look like a human being, but why are you so irritating? Come with me and let's have a face-to-face chat with the master chef. Are you looking for trouble or is our work not up to standard?"
After saying that, he grabbed her arm and walked to the back. The waiter was so angry that he was packing up while muttering to himself.
The shopkeeper pulled her through the doorway, passed the kitchen and came to a utility room in the backyard. He carefully closed the door and then formally introduced himself to her.
"Hello, Comrade Jiang. I'm the underground leader of Sijiu City. We've been told to give Comrade Jiang a warm welcome whenever he comes.
You should have said it before we ate! Do we really need to spend money if we come here alone?"
The shopkeeper shook her hand warmly and introduced himself, but he didn't say his name. For those in their line of work, it doesn't matter whether they say it or not, after all, there are so many names!
"I'm Jiang Cha, hello! It's only natural to spend money on food. The chili oil that the chef just made was really good. I'll have to explain it to the chef later.
I'm here to donate some supplies to my hometown, and I'm wondering if I can go directly there. The quantity is quite large, and it would be too risky for you to transport it.
I have some connections that can get me there directly, but I don't know who to contact once I get there, and I also need to find a safe place to put my things so they won't be discovered by the Japanese."
Once I got to my hometown, I was right under people's noses and couldn't hide anything, so I arranged the place right from the beginning.
She couldn't possibly make something up in front of everyone; that would be even harder to explain.
Now that the boss is intentionally helping to conceal it, she should just pretend that she is deceiving herself and no one has noticed!
Anyway, after the victory in the future, she will go to the United States and hide her identity and let the Han Ming brothers support her, becoming a "useless person" who has nothing to do but have clothes to wear and food to eat.
Enjoy life and forget about worldly affairs!
After hearing what she said, the shopkeeper immediately went out to contact his hometown and explain the situation to them.
Of course, code names were used throughout the process, but Jiang Cha didn't know it.
"The chief steward asked who to look for the large cargo, and we need a safe place to store it!"
She probably hung up the number there, and she received a call back very quickly, so fast that it was beyond the shopkeeper's expectation.
"Someone will pick her up on the train. She'll know when she arrives and the location will be arranged. Tell her to be careful!"
After the reply to the secret message was deciphered, the shopkeeper looked at Jiang Cha with a strange look in his eyes, thinking that this kid is good!
I don’t know the origin of the fact that my hometown really gives me face, but anyone who is treated like this by my hometown really is definitely a great person.
Didn’t you say you brought some supplies?
I guess she is just exposed in public, because she is young and still a little girl!
I guess the people behind her are very powerful. They were able to get a batch of supplies and send them back to her hometown smoothly without any help from them. It shows that they are very capable!
