After agreeing on the price, Mo Beichen and Wang Simeng left the dessert shop together.
"Thank you for your hospitality today, Miss Wang. You must visit the Prince's residence when you come to the capital!" Mo Beichen said.
"Okay, I'll definitely pay you a visit then." Wang Simeng readily agreed and took her leave of Mo Beichen and the other man.
"Then I'll take my leave. If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask," Mo Beichen said, nodding to Wang Simeng.
Mo Mingxuan also said to Wang Simeng, "Miss Wang, I'll take my leave too."
"Okay," Wang Simeng said with a smile.
After parting ways with Mo Beichen, there was still about half an hour before curfew.
In Qi Cang Kingdom, the curfew is usually in effect at 8 p.m., except during the New Year and other festivals when the curfew is in effect at midnight.
Normally, the streets would be deserted at this time. However, today, the entire street was bustling with activity and filled with noise.
The mall closes at 7:30 p.m.
After closing the store, Wang Simeng gathered all the employees from her shop and supermarket on the first floor of the mall. She gave a speech, encouraging everyone to continue working hard and to strive for better benefits for their families, parents, and relatives.
Wang Simeng's speech won applause from many people.
After exchanging some polite words, Wang Simeng announced that it was time to leave work.
Wang Simeng took Shuang'er and Cui'er back to the house.
"Have you two eaten dinner tonight?" Wang Simeng asked.
“Miss, all the shops just opened today, and we didn’t trust our staff, so we observed them all day. That’s why we haven’t had a chance to eat yet,” Shuang’er said.
"How's the observation going?" Wang Simeng asked, taking a sip of water as she sat down at the table.
“After observing them for a day, I feel they are all quite good, and some of them are even very clever. Miss, I think those few people can be trained well. If you open another shop in the future, they might be useful,” Cui’er suggested.
"Alright, I won't concern myself with these matters. I'll leave them all to you. Don't you two have a few subordinates who are already ready to graduate? Let them get some experience too."
Shuang'er smiled and agreed, "Yes, Miss, that's what we thought too. That way, Cui'er and I won't have to leave your side anymore."
"Haha, okay!"
"Let's have dinner first. It's auspicious for our grand opening today. What would you like to eat?"
"We'll eat whatever Miss eats," Shuang'er said.
Cui'er quickly chimed in.
"Okay, let's have hot pot tonight! It's my favorite!"
I haven't had hot pot since I got here. Eating hot pot alone isn't fun, so three people is just right. Wang Simeng thought to herself.
Okay~
With a wave of his hand, a hot pot with two broths, a solar-powered induction cooker, a slotted spoon, and other utensils appeared on the table.
Wang Simeng also bought some meat, seafood, meatballs, vegetables, wild mushrooms, and bean products from the online shopping page. Hot pot base and sesame paste were also included. With another wave of her hand, the table was piled high with food.
“Wow! Miss…” Cui’er looked at Wang Simeng and then at the dishes on the table, going back and forth several times.
"Haha, are you dumbfounded?" Wang Simeng waved her hand in front of Cui'er's eyes.
"No, no, it's just that every time I see Miss like this..." Cui'er waved her hand, mimicking Wang Simeng's gesture. "I feel like I must have done something really good in my past life to be able to stay by Miss's side."
Wang Simeng chuckled at Cui'er's silly expression. Shuang'er also covered her mouth and chuckled beside her.
“Miss is very capable! Cui’er, as Miss’s personal maids, we must be more composed and not embarrass her,” Shuang’er said.
"Understood, Sister Shuang'er. Miss, I will definitely try to be more composed in the future and not embarrass you."
"Haha, you two are fine. Shuang'er, you're so composed, and Cui'er, you're so lively. You're both great. You two should get along well and complement each other!" Wang Simeng teased.
"Yes, miss!"
"By the way, go and call the other people in the courtyard. Everyone can sit at a few tables and have some hot pot, whether they've eaten or not."
If they don't want to come over or feel uncomfortable, they can come to my place and get food. They can cook for themselves at home too. Anyway, it's opening day, so let's all have a lively time together.”
"Yes, Miss."
After a while, upon hearing Shuang'er say that they refused to come over, Wang Simeng took out several hot pots, enough food for twenty people, explained how to eat them, and had them delivered over.
"Miss, the things have all been delivered. Everyone is very happy and says they are lucky to have met such a wonderful young lady." Cui'er said proudly.
Wang Simeng smiled and shook her head.
"Alright, come and eat!"
"Yes!" the two replied in unison.
Wang Simeng thought for a moment and chose spicy and tomato base sauces. She tore open the packaging and put them in the pot.
The base ingredients melted into the hot water, and the aroma wafted far and wide.
A table was filled with beautiful plates of all sizes, thinly sliced beef and lamb, palm-sized prawns, various kinds of meatballs, fresh and smooth shrimp paste, various small mushrooms, emerald green vegetables, and tender white tofu.
The hot pot started boiling, and its rich aroma filled the entire house, wafting far and wide through the windows and door cracks. Even the neighbors could smell it. The neighbor's kid was practically crying with envy.
"Come on, try this tomato soup first," Wang Simeng said to Shuang'er and Cui'er.
"This smells so good!" Shuang'er first served Wang Simeng a bowl, then served herself one. She took a bite and said.
"Haha, not bad, right?" Wang Simeng asked.
"Uh-huh…."
Wang Simeng took her chopsticks and put the fatty lamb and beef into the pot first. The lamb and beef rolls changed color as soon as they were put into the pot, and they tumbled around in the pot. The aroma of the meat made people drool.
"Hehe, it's ready to eat!" After saying that, Wang Simeng took the lead and scooped up a piece of fatty lamb roll with her chopsticks, put it in the dipping sauce bowl, stirred it well, and put it in her mouth.
The meat is fragrant and tender with sesame sauce, so delicious you'll want to swallow your tongue.
"Ah! This is life! It's amazing!" Wang Simeng exclaimed.
"Mmm, it's really delicious." Cui'er's eyes widened. She used to be a head maid in a wealthy family and had eaten mutton once before, but it didn't taste good at all.
However, this lamb roll was both tender and fragrant. The beef roll was also extremely delicious.
The meat rolls, cooked in a rich tomato broth, have a sweet and sour tomato flavor that makes them especially delicious.
"Miss, what is this round thing?" Cui'er asked. Shuang'er also looked at Wang Simeng curiously.
"This plate, this plate, and these plates are all meatballs. There are fish balls, chicken balls, squid balls... They're all delicious." Wang Simeng introduced them to the two of them briefly, and then took some to cook.
After it was cooked, Wang Simeng picked up a piece with her chopsticks and said, "It's ready to eat."
Shuang'er and Cui'er then picked them up as well. Their eyes widened immediately.
Then, the three of them stopped chatting and started putting meat, meatballs, and vegetables into the pot.
