Little wife, she is full of happiness

Xia Xiaoruoke hasn't eaten hot pot for a long time!

Although there are many people watching the excitement outside the hot pot restaurant, there are not many people who actually come to eat inside.

The hotel is quite spacious, with seven or eight round tables in the lobby outside, and there should be a few single rooms on both sides of the east corridor.

When the proprietress at the counter saw someone coming in, she greeted Xia Xiaoruo with a smile on her face.

Xia Xiaoruo chose a seat with an electric fan, where the waiter would serve the dishes, and the guests would come and go without getting in the way. She ordered the mandarin duck pot. She likes spicy food, and since grandma is getting older, she wants a lighter taste, so she chose a Mandarin duck pot.

Beef slices, lamb slices, coriander balls, the material conditions at this time are much better than before, but they are definitely not rich.

All kinds of fish ball hot pot meatballs that are popular in later generations are things that no one has heard of in a small northern county like Shahe County.

But this is enough for Xia Xiaoruo to satisfy her hunger.

"Enough is enough. If you order so many dishes, won't it be a waste if you can't finish them?"

Grandma stopped her to prevent her from ordering too many dishes.

Still reluctant.

Xia Xiaoruo took her grandma's arm and said coquettishly, "I want to taste it, just let me taste it."

In her previous life, she lived too much. Even in front of her loving grandma, she seldom said what she wanted, because she felt that she was a child whose parents didn't want her, and she didn't deserve to ask others.

Not to mention coquettishly telling grandma that she wants delicious food like now.

As expected, grandma's heart softened, and she patted the back of her hand helplessly, "Order, please!"

The child has suffered so much before, but now life is better, the child can make money, go to a good school, and have a good future. If you want to eat something, the more expensive it is, the more expensive it is. Eat what you want!
Xia Xiaoruo ordered dishes for the whole table, and ordered all the dishes that she had eaten in her previous life and thought they were delicious, as well as the dishes on the menu.

When the beef and mutton were cooked in the clear soup pot, and Xia Xiaoruo put the meat and vegetables into her grandma's bowl, urging her to eat the meat, she suddenly felt that the hole in her heart that had been in her heart for many years was filled.

When my grandma was sick in the previous life, she was in bed with her. There was a TV in the ward, and it was showing a bunch of young men and women eating at a hot pot restaurant.

At that time, my grandma was already old, so she asked her with a smile, "Is the hot pot delicious?"

She was very sad at the time. When they were in Lianhua Village, they had no conditions to eat hot pot. When she came to the city, she had to live on campus when she went to college. meal.

Until the moment when grandma died, grandma never tasted the taste of hot pot.

"Is it tasty?"

She watched her grandma eat and asked with a smile.

There was a gleam of light in grandma's eyes, she nodded to Xia Xiaoruo, but soon the light in her eyes dimmed, she put down her chopsticks and said, "It's delicious, but it's too hard, I can't eat it, you can eat it !"

I still want to leave all the delicious food to Xia Xiaoruo.

Xia Xiaoruo coaxed her, "But I can't finish it all by myself! The restaurant's food can't be returned after it's taken out of the kitchen, and it's a pity if I don't eat it..."

"what?"

Grandma never went out to eat, so she believed in Xia Xiaoruo's words, and felt very puzzled by the restaurant's unreasonable and unreasonable rules, "Look, why can't I take this away?"

"Let's eat the food on this table properly."

Xia Xiaoruo stuffed the chopsticks into grandma's hand again, and took out the beef and mutton from the clear soup pot, dipped them in the sesame sauce, and urged grandma to eat.

Grandma was now willing to move her chopsticks, but her expression was still a little pained.

Here, the grandparents and grandchildren were eating, when a middle-aged man suddenly came in at the entrance of the restaurant. When the proprietress saw the man, she immediately smiled and went to hold the man's arm, "How is it? Are you tired? Is the business in Wuzhuang Town good?"

The man smiled honestly and said to the proprietress, "Business is going well over there."

Speaking with a Sichuan accent, the man looked around the room and found that there were not many guests, only a young couple who looked like workers, and a young girl and an old lady in her 50s sitting a little closer.

The man's eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at the little girl, and he hissed excitedly, "That..."

"what happened?"

The woman next to him asked with a puzzled look.

The man took a deep breath to calm himself down, and the two went to the counter together with the woman in his arms. They lay down inside the counter, mumbling together for a while, and the man left in a hurry.

After sending the man away, the proprietress watched the man's back for a long time before returning to the shop.

I personally brought two servings of fresh hairy tripe, and sent them to Xia Xiaoruo's table, "Ni'er, you are a student of County No. [-] High School!"

Seeing the lady boss greet her so affectionately, Xia Xiaoruo nodded cautiously, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, it's just that you look like a student from County No. [-] High School. Our new store has just opened. These two sets of hairy belly are a specialty of our Sichuan side. You can try it. I'll give it to you. If you think it's delicious, Just remember to bring your classmates to eat together!"

After finishing speaking, he put down the food and left.

When Xia Xiaoruo was still lamenting that the owner of the hot pot restaurant can do business, even if the business is not good now, the business will be booming in the future, grandma also sighed with emotion, "Look, Xiao Ruo, if you want to talk about you now, you still have to put down your studies. In the first place, a learned man is respected no matter where he is!"

Xia Xiaoruo understood what grandma meant.

In the eyes of grandma, she is still a student now, helping the biscuit factory to sell biscuits, worrying about the business of the hot strip factory, and the chickens and sheep at home are not things she should worry about.

Grandma wished that she could devote all her attention to her studies now, and take a good rest when she was not studying.

Grandma loves her dearly.

But she has her own goals, so she chatted with her grandma, "Okay, let me see you next time in the exam, and I will definitely get you No. 1 in the whole grade!"

Grandma smiled gratifiedly.

After the grandparents and grandchildren finished their meal, they all ate about the same amount of food at the table, and nothing was wasted.

Xia Xiaoruo paid the bill and took out a [-] Great Unity card from her pocket.

Although the material conditions are not rich in this era, the purchasing power of banknotes is high. She has read the menu before eating, and even if she ordered a table of dishes without any scruples, it is estimated that it will cost less than 100 yuan.

"Ni'er, there is a prize-winning activity in our store now. If you win the first prize, you won't have to pay for this meal!"

The proprietress took out a cardboard box, which was full of small pieces of paper. After shaking it well, she asked Xia Xiaoruo to take a random one.

Grandma was very surprised.

Can you get a prize for eating?

It would be great if she could grab the first prize, since she and Xiao Ruo ate so much meat, they didn't have to pay any more.

But she couldn't help worrying, "Why don't you pay for the meal? You won't lose money?"

It's not easy for everyone. Isn't it just to make money when they open such a big restaurant?They don't charge for meals, how can restaurants open?

Until the proprietress explained to her, "We just want to gain popularity, and we also want you to help us make a publicity!"

Only then did grandma feel a little better.

Xia Xiaoruo is too familiar with the tricks of pinching prizes and winning prizes for free!At the same time, he is becoming more and more interested in the owner of this hot pot restaurant. Such a good business owner deserves his fortune!
