Xia Jin finally decided to let Liu Zhonghua go to the hot pot restaurant, and Xia Jin recruited two more boys to come to the old restaurant to keep things under control. When Liu Zhonghua's comrades came, Xia Jin handed them over to Liu Zhonghua for training.
One of these comrades was actually from the kitchen. Xia Jin decisively called him out and prepared to hand over the kitchen duties to him. Xia Jin taught him several different hot pot recipes. After a few days of practice, he finally got the hang of it. He also gave him the spicy hot pot restaurant's recipe and asked him to make the soup every morning. Of course, his salary was higher than the others, after all, he was working two jobs.
Xia Jin had initially been reluctant to trust others, but with the new store opening imminent and unable to remain busy in the kitchen, she had no choice but to teach others her methods. Besides, the main difference between Xia Jin's store and others was the addition of Lingquan, which created a unique aroma that no other store could replicate. Xia Jin continued to add Lingquan to her soy sauce. She always bought the soy sauce, packaged it herself, and delivered it to the store.
Otherwise, why is it that when there are so many spicy hot pot restaurants outside, Xia Jin's is still so prosperous. Xia Jin also rented a warehouse and asked them to get the vegetables they use every day from there. Because there are few vegetables in winter, Xia Jin told them that these are greenhouse vegetables grown by her friends, so there is still a lot of variety in winter.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the house to be decorated and opened. The house was decorated, the tables and chairs were ready, and Xia Jin chose a good day, December 12, to officially open Xia Jin's Xia Ji Mala Tang branch and Jin Yuan Hot Pot restaurant.
The dining area was downstairs, and the second floor was the staff dormitory. Because there were more women working late at night and it wasn't safe to be alone, Xia Jin suggested they stay in the dormitory and go home on their off-duty days. The women mostly lived near the hot pot restaurant, while the men lived near the spicy hot pot restaurant. The two restaurants were close together, so they could hear everything.
At first, the hotpot restaurant's business was not as good as the malatang restaurant, after all, the latter had a mass base. But after a few days, everyone finally discovered the beauty of hotpot, which is more suitable for family meals or gatherings with friends.
The two newly opened stores gradually got on track, especially the new hot pot restaurant, which was well received and packed every day. The three store managers managed the business well, and apart from checking the accounts every week, Xia Jin had nothing else to do, and suddenly he had free time again.
Even though Xia Jin made such a big fuss about opening a store, the Xia family didn't come to find him again. Xia Jin thought that the last threat seemed to be effective.
A few days later, Xia Jin went to school in the morning. As soon as she arrived in the classroom, Chen Xin gossiped to Xia Jin, "Have you heard? There's a transfer student coming to our class. I heard she's Luo Zisen's childhood sweetheart."
Xia Jin asked, "Who told you that?" It turned out that she had transferred here in the first half of the semester. It seemed that Xia Qingqing's good days were about to end.
Chen Xin said, "Many people saw it. The two people got off the same car. Didn't you see Luo Zisen hasn't arrived yet? They are both in the teacher's office now."
Xia Jin pretended not to know and said, "What if it's a relative?"
The classmate next to him heard Xia Jin's words and said, "They are not relatives. That girl is the daughter of the factory director."
Chen Xin asked excitedly: "You know Pan Yu, come and tell us, I'm so curious." Xia Jin and the classmates around looked at Pan Yu.
Pan Yu looked at the crowd and cleared his throat. "Those of you who grew up with Luo Zisen, you know there are several deputy directors in the furniture factory, but only one director. My father said the Luo family is trying to get two people engaged."
The classmate behind said: "Engagement, what about Xia Qingqing? Isn't Luo Zisen dating her?"
Pan Yu smiled disdainfully and said, "A family like the Luo family would never allow Luo Zisen to marry a girl from a working-class family. How could Luo Zisen be more stubborn than his parents?"
Chen Xin said, "That's right, but why did I feel so happy when I heard that Xia Qingqing was dumped?"
"I've been fed up with her for a long time. She always acts so high and mighty."
Seeing Xia Qingqing's unhappy face, Chen Yi hurriedly comforted her, "Qingqing, don't listen to their nonsense. Don't you know how much Luo Zisen likes you? How could he dump you and get engaged to someone else?"
"That's right, Qingqing and the others are just jealous that you have such a good boyfriend."
Xia Qingming said pitifully: "But what if it is true?"
Chen Xin said, "How is that possible? I think this is just a rumor they spread because they are jealous of you."
Another follower, Ge Fang, said, "Qingqing, wait for Luo Zisen to come in and I'll ask him for you. Give those who can't stand your good fortune a good slap in the face."
A moment later, Luo Zisen walked in. Ge Fang was about to question him, but the homeroom teacher followed him into the classroom. Guo Jian was followed by a girl. Xia Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief after seeing her face. The girl had an ordinary face, and after seeing her face, Xia Qingqing was confident that Luo Zisen would not get engaged to her.
But Xia Qingqing forgot that some people can attract people without their looks. Guo Jian stood at the podium and said, "Classmates, please be quiet. Let me introduce this new student. This is our new transfer student. She previously studied out of town, but she transferred to our school because of a family job transfer. Please help this new student."
"Please introduce yourself."
"Hello everyone, my name is Wang Yuanyuan, and I'm very happy to be your classmate."
"Wang Yuanyuan, your parents have told us that you grew up with Luo Zisen. So why don't you sit next to him first? With someone you know, you'll be able to integrate into our group better and faster."
"Okay, thank you, teacher."
Hearing this, Xia Qingqing was about to explode with anger, but in order to maintain her image as a white lotus, she could not vent her anger or scold. She could only look at Luo Zisen with grievance, hoping that he could comfort her.
Luo Zisen looked at his sweetheart's aggrieved look and wanted to hug her and comfort her, but the class was about to start and the teacher was in front, so Luo Zisen could only write a note to comfort Xia Qingqing.
After listening to the teacher's introduction, Pan Yu looked at Mu Xia and the others with a smug look, as if to say, "See, I was right."
The classmates nodded towards Pan Yu. Chen Xin tugged at Xia Jin's clothes and whispered, "This is going to be a good show. You said the new guy could beat Xia Qingqing, but it seems so uncertain to me."
Xia Jin also whispered, "It depends on whether Wang Yuanyuan likes Luo Zisen. If she does, then Xia Qingqing will be in trouble."
