Chapter 133
At dinner time, the group naturally ate the rotating buffet hot pot. Anyway...
At dinner time, the group naturally ate the rotating buffet hot pot.
After all, it’s the first day of opening the store, so we have to experience it for ourselves, right?
But we don’t eat on the first or second floor, but in the backyard.
Xiao Yue had previously specifically consulted Uncle Meng and his team to make several detachable rotating table plates.
It was neither too big nor too small, and it took four tables to accommodate the people in the backyard.
Xiao Yue, Fang Sanhong, Fu Xunzhou and others sat at one table, and the remaining three tables were occupied by Jiang Yidong and her group of women.
This time, Su Xiaoxiao and the others had rested enough, and they took the initiative to ask to add soup base and serve the food - mainly the latter, because they could deliver it to the turntable personally.
It’s so interesting to watch the plate rotate after being put down!
While eating, Xiao Yue was boiling beef tripe while listening to Su Xiaoxiao and the others chatting.
They were talking about the queue room at the West Street Homestyle restaurant, which shocked customers several times today because of the simultaneous addition of a dressing table and a card table.
Speaking of fun things, Su Xiaoxiao and Sun Wen even stood up and performed vividly.
Xiao Yue couldn't help but laugh. In other words, seeing them so energetic, all the fatigue of the day was dissipated.
After dinner.
Xiao Yue saw Fu Xunzhou off, then returned to the store and worked with Jiang Yi and the others to stock the inventory for a while before closing the store and leaving.
It was just getting dark when Fang Sanhong drove her all the way back to West Street.
The carriage stopped and Xiao Yue waved goodbye to her.
After that, I forced myself to keep my eyes open when I entered the room, washed up, and lay down on the bed. I could hardly feel the soles of my feet.
Until his body lay on the bed, Xiao Yue let out a sigh.
Today can be said to be the most tiring day in more than a month. I almost never stopped from morning to night.
Although her body was tired, her spirit was active.
Because Yueting Self-service Hotpot Restaurant is obviously a success that needs no elaboration, not only due to its rich ingredients and delicious soup base, but also due to its novel rotating self-service model.
How could it fail?
And starting tomorrow the hot pot restaurant will be open as usual. In addition to the rotating self-service hot pot, there will be other things to give customers enough choices.
Tomorrow is the most important thing...
Xiao Yue's eyes became increasingly heavy, and she vaguely felt Xiaoju's head rubbing against her neck. She muttered something and closed her eyes completely.
——
The popularity of Yueting Self-service Hotpot Restaurant on the first day continued into the second day.
Xiao Yue came over early in the morning to prepare and put up a new business sign at the door in advance.
When customers come over, they can clearly see what is written on it.
[Yueting Self-service Hot Pot Restaurant is open from noon to evening, and charges one hundred copper coins per person. Please take as much as you want after entering the restaurant. If the remaining food weighs more than two taels, you will need to pay an additional one hundred and fifty copper coins per two taels. 】
[Today, in addition to the rotating self-service hot pot, there are four other soup bases in the store. Please go to the window in the store to get them. I wish you a happy dining! 】
The rules for the self-service hotpot are almost identical to those of the home-style restaurant on West Street, except that the time is extended by one hour.
After all, you can’t just eat hotpot right away. There are also processes such as choosing the soup base, selecting the ingredients, and blanching the ingredients.
But all of this has to be put on hold, because——
"One hundred copper coins?!"
"In addition to yesterday's rotating hot pot, today we have four more soup bases, all of which cost only 100 copper coins?"
“This is too…”
“It’s cheap, right?!!”
The customers at the door started discussing this and were very interested even though it was not yet business hours.
More and more people began to gather, and when the door opened at noon, everyone rushed into the hot pot restaurant.
Leading the group were Zhang Feiyun and Nishang. They came straight here after coming out of the latter's shop and were bound to be the first batch of customers.
After entering the store, Nichang recalled the discussion with her friends yesterday and her first look was at the big turntable in the middle.
Unfortunately, the turntable was already spinning and was filled with plates of ingredients, as was the conveyor belt on the second floor, so I couldn't see the process of it being put down from nothing to something.
Nichang sighed and saw that some people had already gone straight to the big turntable, but she and Zhang Feiyun had eaten there yesterday and planned to eat something else today.
There are four kinds of soup bases after all!
So the two of them looked around and accurately saw a window marked "Soup Port" and walked over together.
This place is connected to the kitchen. Unlike yesterday when it was closed, it is open today and everyone can clearly see most of the kitchen scene inside.
A clean stove, a bright environment, neatly arranged tableware, and many people busy cutting and arranging ingredients.
Everything about this hot pot restaurant is clearly visible!
Nichang couldn't help but marvel.
Although I have heard that Yueting's buffet is not only clean and hygienic but also delicious, she pays great attention to food in order to maintain her figure and rarely eats out.
But from today on, it seems that things will change...
Just as Nichang was thinking, a familiar voice came from the window.
"What kind of soup would you like?"
It was Xiao Yue.
She had been preparing in the kitchen since she opened the door. When she saw someone coming to get the soup, she came over to greet the guest. Unexpectedly, it was an acquaintance.
Nichang came to her senses and saw that there were already many people queuing up behind her. She and Zhang Feiyun hurriedly looked at the menu placed upright on the right side of the table.
[Today's soup base: spicy beef oil hotpot, refreshing tomato hotpot, delicious mushroom hotpot, snail noodle hotpot. 】
If the first one makes people salivate, and the second and third ones make people's eyes light up, then the fourth one...
"Snail noodle hotpot?" Zhang Feiyun asked doubtfully, but with great eagerness to try.
She was recuperating during the Zhihuai Festival. When she heard about the snail noodles, she was so greedy. Unfortunately, she couldn't eat it later.
So is this "snail noodle hotpot" what she was thinking of?
Xiao Yue chuckled and said, "The taste of the snail noodle hotpot is the same as the previous snail noodle, and it also contains the standard rice noodles and ingredients. The difference is that the snail noodle hotpot is larger and can be used to scald any ingredients."
What is the most special thing about snail noodles?
Of course, it is that stinky yet delicious soup that people will never forget after the Zhihuai Festival.
Now it has turned into a fire pot!
The customers lining up behind the window were delighted when they heard this. If they hadn’t had to queue, they would have probably rushed over.
Zhang Feiyun realized that his voice was about to be drowned out, so he shouted, "I want this snail noodle hotpot!"
"Okay." Xiao Yue nodded and looked at the woman beside him: "Where is Shopkeeper Ni?"
Nichang was in a dilemma: "I heard that the snail noodle has a strong smell, and Feiyun has already ordered it. This spicy butter doesn't look suitable for me either. There are also refreshing tomatoes and delicious mushrooms left..."
"If you want to try them all, why not order a two-in-one hotpot?" Xiao Yue reminded.
Nichang was stunned, and then she realized that there was another line of words at the bottom of the menu, which read "You can choose any flavor of soup base, two in one is a double-flavored hotpot."
She is worried for nothing!
Nichang said coquettishly: "Blame me, blame me, then I want delicious mushrooms and refreshing tomatoes!"
"no problem."
Xiao Yue agreed with a smile, turned around and took turns with Jiang Yi and the others to prepare the three soup bases.
In fact, today, including the spicy beef oil, the four soup bases are all prepared in advance and kept warm and fresh in the kitchen. They can be served to customers as soon as they arrive, which is very convenient and quick.
Xiao Yue first came to the big pot of snail noodle soup. The pot was half a person's height and was full of familiar flavors and rosy color.
Next to the big pot is a row of shelves, on which are pots that are larger than the rotating self-service hot pot.
Xiao Yue reached out and took one, scooped enough snail noodle soup into it, then took a large tray and put the pot on it, and carried them both to the table on the right.
There are various ingredients on the table, corresponding to the ingredients required for the four soup bases.
Xiao Yue put rice noodles and various side dishes in it, and finally sprinkled it with crispy fried bean curd sheets. The first serving of soup base was ready.
The second one is Nichang’s two-in-one, refreshing tomatoes and delicious mushrooms.
Xiao Yue took a shabu-shabu pot and went to the other two big pots.
The color of the first big pot was bright red, different from the strong red of snail noodles or butter, the red tomato soup revealed full of freshness.
After all, it is made with a lot of tomato juice, added with chopped onions, garlic and bay leaves. The taste is refreshing yet rich, rich yet sweet and sour, making you unable to stop.
The color of the second pot looked ordinary, clear, moist and bright, seemingly no different from ordinary clear soup.
But when Xiao Yue scooped up the soup base, the various mushrooms that had settled underneath appeared before his eyes like flawless jade, and the extremely fresh taste went straight to his head.
After all, many kinds of meat and bones were added when making the broth, and even no less than ten kinds of mushrooms were added.
For example, Chicken mushroom, Matsutake mushroom, Boletus, Morel, Yellow silk mushroom, Coral mushroom, Milk mushroom... and so on.
If the hot pot soup base made from so many mushrooms that have been nurtured by the essence of heaven and earth is not delicious, then what can be considered delicious?
Xiao Yueguang felt a little greedy when he smelled it, so he brought the double-flavored hotpot to the side dish table, put red dates and fresh tomato slices in it on the left and right, and the second serving of hotpot soup base was ready.
It seemed to take quite a while, but in fact, from the time Xiao Yue turned around to prepare the soup base to the time he returned to the window, it was only about two minutes.
Zhang Feiyun and Nishang's eyes were full of anticipation. Without her saying anything more, they took their trays and soup bases and found a seat to sit down.
But I don’t know if it’s an illusion, why does it feel like such a big pot seems so light to them?
I'm afraid even a five or six-year-old child could lift it easily?
Zhang Feiyun's surprise was immediately diverted when he arrived at the table.
Because she saw that there were many other things on the table besides the groove for the hot pot.
There are bowls and plates carved with the moon, exquisite chopsticks and spoons, and a small table stand that can hold many plates.
It seems that this is the place to put the ingredients. Not only that, there is also a line of eye-catching labels below.
If there is not enough space for the food, the shelf can be lifted up and extended to two levels. There is also a drawer under the table for storage. 】
Nichang subconsciously lifted the shelf, and sure enough, she lifted it up from the table easily, almost to the same height as the person standing up.
Can hold more food!
Nichang had lost count of how many times she had been shocked since she came here. As she was sighing, she heard Zhang Feiyun's voice in her ears.
She looked in the direction he was going and saw that the other person had opened the first drawer, which contained more than what was marked.
And a small wooden box?
Zhang Feiyun opened it and found many sheets of white, soft paper and a palm-sized, bamboo-shaped cylinder inside.
"Is there something on the lid?" Nishang noticed this and read it out slowly: "The white paper in the wooden box is a napkin, which can be used to wipe off oil stains; the bamboo tube contains a deodorant, which can be used to remove the inevitable smell on clothes by gently pressing the head to emit a fine mist..."
After watching it, Zhang Feiyun and Nishang’s feelings could no longer be described in any words.
Yueting Self-service...
So thoughtful! !
