Yu Zhizhi smiled smugly, scooped a mushroom and pork meatball from the pot and put it in his bowl. "This is hot pot, and I brought the ingredients myself. How about that? Isn't that amazing!"
He Yang was very supportive, exclaiming, "Amazing!"
"It seems Manager Luo won't be able to swindle a single penny from you this time."
He brought all the ingredients himself, which completely changed his perception.
As expected, the boss has the most ideas!
He Yang looked at the round meatballs in the bowl, somewhat puzzled: "What are these?"
"These mushroom and pork meatballs are delicious, and I made them myself. You should try them."
As Yu Zhizhi spoke, she scooped up a fish ball for herself, blew on it gently, and then eagerly took a bite.
The fish balls are bouncy and delicious, with a delicate texture and no fishy taste.
It's served with a special dipping sauce.
Absolutely amazing!
He Yang was so touched, "Waaah! Boss, you actually cooked for us yourself!"
He copied Yu Zhizhi, dipping the meatballs in sauce before putting them in his mouth.
They were stunned.
Yu Zhizhi looked at him with a smile, "How does it taste?"
He Yang finished the whole meatball, looking like he wanted more. "It's just right for my taste. The meatball is chewy and has a good texture. You can also taste the aroma of mushrooms and pork in the spiciness."
So the boss's cooking skills are amazing!
Yu Zhizhi, who had already started cooking the beef slices, began to introduce him to the two types of soup bases, red and white, and explain how to eat various ingredients.
"This beef is very tender; it can be taken out as soon as it changes color."
"There's a specific way to cook tripe. You have to learn how to cook it like I do, otherwise if you cook it for too long, the meat won't be as crisp and tender."
He Yang followed her, simmering the tripe in the hot pot.
"Hmm! It's really crisp and delicious. What is this? I've never seen it before."
Yu Zhizhi ate to her heart's content. "Of course you've never seen this before, it's cow offal."
Seeing his face suddenly change and he was about to vomit, Yu Zhizhi immediately stopped him, "Don't waste the food! Don't be fooled by its appearance as innards; I've cleaned it very thoroughly. You can't taste the fishy smell, can you?"
He Yang nodded.
"And these duck intestines, pig's blood, and beef aorta are all good stuff. Only those who know how to eat can appreciate their deliciousness."
He Yang smiled obsequiously, "I'm the best eater!"
Since the eldest brother has already eaten it, what else is he afraid of? Especially the offal cooked in the spicy hot pot, it's extremely delicious.
The aroma of the hot pot is rich and irresistible, wafting through the air!
The aroma permeated every corner of the Fuju Restaurant, as if a grand olfactory feast was unfolding.
It was peak dining time at the restaurant, and the lobby was bustling with noise.
The guests who came to the restaurant for dinner were all attracted by the rich and fragrant aroma. They put down their chopsticks, sniffed the air, and searched for the source of the fragrance.
Many diners, unable to contain their curiosity and eagerness, grabbed passing waiters and asked impatiently:
"Has your restaurant come up with any new dishes? This tastes amazing! I need a serving to try!"
"The aroma is spicy yet carries a unique medicinal fragrance. It's so addictive that you can't stop smelling it."
"It seems like this continuous aroma is wafting from the second floor. I can't take it anymore! Just smelling this makes me so hungry! Waiter, bring me one too!"
......
Faced with numerous inquiries from diners, the waiter looked bewildered; he had no idea what the dish was!
Although they went in and out of the kitchen every day, they had never smelled such an enticing aroma.
When Zhao Yunjin and Qi Yize arrived at the restaurant, they were also greeted by that irresistible aroma.
Qi Yize grinned, "Looks like our trip today wasn't in vain. The restaurant has launched a new dish, and it tastes pretty good."
The two walked to the private room where Yu Zhizhi was, and the fragrance became even stronger.
"Boss, let me toast you. Thank you so much for cooking this hot pot for me. I will never forget this birthday gift."
Yu Zhizhi was already a little drunk. She patted her chest and said, "I told you before that I would treat you to the best of everything. Didn't I tell you that I was the boss?"
He Yang chuckled, "Hot pot is fragrant and spicy, no doubt about it. Boss, I'm sticking with you. From now on, if you tell me to go east, I'll never dare to go west."
Both Zhao Yunjin and Qi Yize were martial artists with keen hearing. Even though the private room was soundproofed, their conversation inside could still be heard clearly.
Qi Yize joked, "Yu Zhizhi's move was really clever! She knew she wouldn't be able to wait for you, so she actually called He Yang. Only that idiot He Yang would mistakenly think that today's hot pot was specially for his birthday celebration."
Zhao Yunjin's face was gloomy, and he did not respond.
It must be admitted that her tactic of using someone else's flowers to present to Buddha was indeed ingenious.
Qi Yize continued muttering, "But He Yang is quite lucky. Speaking of which, he really should thank you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunjin felt an even stronger chill emanating from him.
Clearly, this is a veiled criticism of his lack of enjoyment of food, for he can only watch helplessly as the delicious meal he's about to eat is handed over to someone else.
"I'm going back to my residence first. Don't follow me."
Zhao Yunjin's voice was icy cold. After saying those words, she walked straight downstairs.
Qi Yize looked bewildered and muttered to himself, "Did I say something wrong? I was just telling the truth!"
At that moment, the two people who were happily enjoying their meal in the private room were unaware of what was happening outside the door.
"Hey! Boss, are you sure this pig brain isn't disgusting to eat?" He Yang asked, looking at the pig brain in the hot pot with a troubled expression.
Of all the ingredients, pig brains were the only one He Yang dared not try; he simply couldn't get past the psychological barrier to it.
"It's as smooth and tender as tofu. Are you sure you don't want to try it?"
Yu Zhizhi smiled and said to He Yang, trying to persuade him to give it a try.
However, He Yang firmly shook his head and waved his hand, resolutely stating, "No, boss, you can eat it all by yourself!"
Just then, a voice came from the doorway: "Miss Yun, may I come in?"
Manager Luo paced back and forth outside the door, asking questions.
