It truly lives up to its reputation as the spiciest chili pepper in China; its power is terrifying!
After the transaction, Xu An carried a large, tightly wrapped bag of chili peppers back to the shop. On the way back, Xu An took out his phone and searched: What is the maximum amount of chili peppers a person can ingest? Can eating too much chili peppers be fatal? If someone dies from consuming an excessive amount of chili peppers, will the shop owner go to jail?
After some searching, Xu An decided to add some restrictions. For example, people with heart disease, high blood pressure, or other underlying medical conditions could not participate; pregnant women, children, and the elderly could not participate; those under the age of eighteen and those over the age of forty could not participate.
These restrictions are not only for their own good, but also for their own. Xu An doesn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison because of this activity.
Despite these added restrictions, Xu An was still uneasy. After much thought, he made a decision: On the day of the event, a medical team and an ambulance would be on-site to ensure that any participant with any abnormalities would be immediately taken to the hospital.
The ambulance is already on the scene, so everything is absolutely safe now!
Shortly after Xu An left, a skinny, slovenly middle-aged man came into the chili shop and greeted the owner very familiarly: "Boss, ten hot pot chilies, please, wet ones."
"We're out of wet ones, someone came in today and bought them all. Do you want some dry ones?" The shopkeeper looked up and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was a familiar face.
"That's it?" The man picked up the purchase logbook on the table with some disbelief, flipped to page six to check the buyer's information. Xu An, Xu's Braised Food Shop, Purpose: To make hellish braised food with hot pot chili.
Hey! A kindred spirit! I wonder where this braised food shop is, otherwise I'd love to try the braised food made with Sichuan peppercorns.
"Boss, do you know where this braised food shop is located?" The man put down his notebook, leaned against the cashier, and asked in his usual nonchalant manner.
"Oh right, I forgot to have him register his address. It'll be hard to find him if something goes wrong." The boss patted the back of his head in annoyance, but then he remembered something and replied, "That guy said there will be commercials on Shanghai's local TV station during prime time tonight. You'll know if you keep an eye out for them."
The man nodded to indicate that he understood: "Boss, give me five dried ones, the dried ones don't taste as good as the wet ones! Can you restock tomorrow? If so, I'll come again tomorrow."
"We just replenished it the day before yesterday, wait two more days." The shop owner, fully equipped again, packed up the chili peppers for the man.
Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.
Originally, Xu An planned for Zhang Dezhen to begin researching the chili peppers immediately after purchasing them. However, given their extreme spiciness, conducting research during business hours would likely drive away even the cockroaches. Therefore, the research was rescheduled for after 2:30 PM. Considering the potentially arduous research process, Xu An offered Zhang Dezhen triple pay for this overtime work!
Zhang Dezhen, unaware of the situation, was overjoyed to hear that he would be paid triple wages for working overtime today. He was even a little impatient, completely unaware of the terrible scene that awaited him.
After explaining the research on the "Hellish Braised Food" project, it was already eight o'clock. It was time to print out today's orders and confirm the quantity of takeout orders. Xu An skillfully brought up the website's backend, checked today's order quantity, and prepared to print. But after glancing at it twice, Xu An froze. He scrolled down the mouse wheel and saw an endless stream of '666's in the remarks section.
Because of the added address restrictions, all the orders that can be placed are valid. From the numbers at the beginning, we can see that there are a total of 579 orders with the note '666'! Xu An couldn't help but click to check tomorrow's orders and found that there were also more than 30 orders with the note '666' in tomorrow's order list.
Sure, the marketing for Haishi Food Studio is pretty good. Today's orders alone have already covered the costs, and any additional orders afterward are pure profit. If the braised food shop really becomes a hit, once the other two construction sites get 300 new orders, we'll open a braised food shop + delivery station at those two locations.
Just as Xu An finished printing out the orders and handed them to Liang Dani and the others for cutting and sorting, his phone rang. It was Uncle Han calling.
"Mr. Xu, we have already loaded the equipment onto the truck and set off. We expect to arrive in two hours. Please reserve a space for the equipment installation."
Xu An had already arranged the installation location before closing time yesterday. It's on the left side of the second store, near the stairs, just big enough to fit three machines with enough space for employees to move around and operate them. The basic installations, such as water pipes and faucets, are also in place. Everything is ready except for the machines.
After Liu Daxi returned, he did not tell anyone that Xu An had purchased automated kitchen machinery. Therefore, when Xu An asked everyone to clean up the place yesterday, they were all discussing in private what he was planning to do.
Some say the boss plans to install more sinks in preparation for hiring more staff; others say there are too many customers, and the boss plans to clear this area to accommodate them; still others say the boss plans to put two desks here for Xu Kang and Xu Le to study.
However, the mystery was finally solved with the arrival of Uncle Han and the installation technicians. A series of odds and ends were unloaded from the truck, and with the help of the three installation technicians, these piles of parts gradually transformed into something familiar to Xu An: three gleaming, waist-high machines appeared before everyone's eyes.
After the technicians connected the water pipes and plugged in the power, Xu An brought out a basket of potatoes from the kitchen—potatoes that had been reserved beforehand, were unwashed, and covered in mud and sand. Under the technicians' guidance, Xu An personally poured the potatoes into the machine, closed the lid, and pressed the start button. The roar of the engine was accompanied by the sound of rushing water.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the roaring machine.
