Reborn: Still want me to be the receiver? impossible

Zhao Desheng opened the box door under Tan Fang's guidance and immediately smelled two strong fragrances.

A smell of hard work pungent to the nose, just smelling it makes people salivate;

As a Yuzhang person who doesn’t like spicy food, I knew without guessing that this dish must be spicy and spicy!

The other one is refreshing and full of freshness, like bones and chicken.

The two soup bases made by Shu Zhiqiang were well seasoned and steaming, and they were left in the private room for a long time.

Therefore, the entire box was filled with these two fragrances, which made Zhao Desheng drool a little.

He looked expectantly and looked straight at the table.

I saw that the round table that stood upright was filled with small dishes. If you look closely, they are all raw.

In the middle of these dishes are two copper pots, one milky white and one blood red.

This is...hot pot?

I haven’t seen a single hot pot restaurant in Yuzhang. Is Shu Zhiqiang planning to do some renovations in autumn and winter?

I don’t know how it tastes, but it smells so good!

Zhao Desheng swallowed and suddenly realized that there seemed to be something in the pot of spicy soup.

I figured since there was no one else around, it would be okay to pick it up and see what it was, right?

It was he who picked up the chopsticks on the table and picked directly from the soup base.

Good guy! Red-cooked meatballs and chicken feet?

Zhao Desheng swallowed again, but he couldn't taste it.

A few minutes later…

What were Shu Zhiqiang and Hu Dekang talking about for so long?

But they are not outsiders either.

So he picked up a piece of meatball and stuffed it into his mouth...

Ouch...so hot!

Sudden! There was a conversation outside the box, and the voice was extremely familiar.

"Secretary, you must like today's dish..."

"Really? Then I'm really looking forward to it."

secretary!

What a fool!

Zhao Desheng's pupils shrank, and the meatball he originally wanted to spit out was put into his mouth again, and his face instantly became ferocious.

"Squeak..."

The door was opened, and Shu Zhiqiang walked in first.

Seeing Zhao Desheng leaning against the corner with his whole body twitching, he was stunned for a moment.

Then he shook his head and smiled, and stood there to help the people behind him hold the door.

Lin Jianye and Hu Dekang walked in, and their eyes suddenly lit up, and they said in surprise: "It smells so good!"

Xiao Wenyun walked at the end and stood beside Shu Zhiqiang after entering.

Zhao Desheng also quickly finished processing the ingredients in his mouth, then turned around and showed a warm smile.

"Secretary, how about noon!"

"Pfft!" Looking at the other party's flushed face, Hu Dekang couldn't help laughing.

Lin Jianye looked back at him, and then looked at Zhao Desheng with a strange look on his face.

"President Zhao, what's going on with your face? Could it be that you're sick?"

"Thank you secretary for your concern, I'm fine;

The main reason is that the smell in this room is too pungent. "Zhao Desheng shook his head and glared at Hu Dekang bitterly.

Lin Jianye didn't think much about it, but nodded in agreement: "It's true."

After saying that, he looked at the pile of vegetables and copper pots on the table, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Boss Shu, is this the new dish your gourmet restaurant will produce in autumn and winter?"

"Almost," Shu Zhiqiang nodded without denying or admitting.

He glanced at a few people, then looked at Lin Jianye and said, "Secretary, we are all here, how about we start tasting the dishes?"

"No one is coming?" Lin Jianye glanced at the crowd and asked.

Just kidding, you, the second-in-command in the county, are here, who can come later than you?

Seeing Shu Zhiqiang shaking his head, Lin Jianye said, "Then what are you waiting for? Eat."

Hearing this, a group of people took their seats one after another.

Shu Zhiqiang asked Xiao Wenyun to sit down and greet the guests, and then went to the kitchen to get coal.

The box has a window facing the backyard, so it's not too stuffy.

And using coal to eat hot pot is no problem.

"President Zhao, how does this hot pot taste?" After everyone sat down, Hu Dekang looked at Zhao Desheng and joked.

Hearing this, Lin Jianye murmured, and looked at Zhao Desheng curiously: "Why, President Zhao has already tasted it?"

Uh…

Zhao Desheng was speechless for a moment, secretly thinking that Hu Dekang was preparing to trap him to death.

It's my own fault to say the least, wouldn't it be fine if I didn't crave that bite?

Just when he was about to admit it bravely, Shu Zhiqiang came in with a shovel mixed with coal.

"Secretary, when we just mixed the soup base, we asked President Zhao to taste the saltiness;

I'm really sorry that I invited you to try the dishes and made you a step late. "

"Really?" Lin Jianye glanced at Shu Zhiqiang in confusion, and then looked at Zhao Desheng.

At this time, Zhao Desheng was covered in cold sweat. Hearing this, he nodded quickly: "Yes, yes... I just tried the saltiness."

After saying that, he wished he could kneel down to Shu Zhiqiang now.

It's so loyal that you can help yourself at a critical moment.

Thank you, I must do it later!

"President Zhao, that's true of you. It's just salty. What's wrong with that?"

Lin Jianye glanced at Zhao Desheng with a half-smile, and said calmly.

Zhao Desheng could only smile awkwardly and said that there was absolutely nothing to say about Boss Shu's craftsmanship.

After a short interlude, everyone began to sit down and heat the hot pot.

"Secretary, this hot pot is actually very particular..."

"Really? How do you stick to the law?"

“Except for things like tofu and meatballs, which need to be cooked first, other dishes cannot be cooked for too long;

Just like the hairy tripe and duck intestines, what matters is the ups and downs..."

Shu Zhiqiang did not talk about business with Lin Jianye, but talked seriously about how to cook the meat for hot pot.

Lin Jianye and the others listened attentively, and Jiang Tao and Shu Zhiqiang even learned to tease each other.

However, Shu Zhiqiang cooked it for Xiao Wenyun, and Jiang Tao also cooked it for Lin Jianye.

Everyone here knew about the relationship between Shu Zhiqiang and Xiao Wenyun, so they didn't say much.

"Wow, this hot pot is so delicious!"

"Spicy and numb, more enjoyable than lobster."

"Nonsense, the lobster needs to be peeled off. This can be eaten after just two scaldings."

Lin Jianye picked up a piece of sauerkraut, nodded and said, "Boss Shu, your sauerkraut tastes good, did you pickle it yourself?"

Shu Zhiqiang's eyes lit up and he chuckled: "That's about it. Secretary, do you like to eat pickled food?"

"It's okay, it's okay..."

"Boss Shu, if your gourmet store sells this in autumn and winter, I will definitely come to eat it every day."

After just eating for a while, everyone couldn't help but praise the taste of the hot pot.

It’s not that hot pot can only be eaten in winter. In fact, it is more enjoyable to eat in summer.

It's easy to get hot all over when eating hot pot, and you'll be dripping with sweat soon.

If you drink something iced at this time, it would be much more enjoyable.

So Shu Zhiqiang asked the waiter to bring two boxes of beer, and then helped several people open them and pass them over.

Seeing Shu Zhiqiang inviting everyone to eat and drink, Jiang Tao was very curious.

Didn't Boss Shu say that he had a few things to do with the secretary? Why didn't he look like he wanted to speak?

Lin Jianye also glanced at Shu Zhiqiang and said to himself: Let me see how long you can hold it in.

It wasn't until the dishes on the table were about to be finished that Shu Zhiqiang raised his head to look at Lin Jianye and started talking about business.

“Secretary, there are three main reasons why I invite you here this time;

The first thing is to try the dishes, which we have already eaten;

The second thing is that the Baiguo Primary School in our town is too dilapidated, and I want to donate a new teaching building..."
