Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant

"Xiao Ming, you're on TV!"

In the middle of the night, Ming Qian was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, as if he was paralyzed, he picked up the phone weakly with one hand, and just heard this sentence when he got connected.

The night before, there were several rounds of customers, and in the end, because there were no pot bottoms and dishes left, the business had to close at eleven o'clock.

Although he was able to go home early, he was still exhausted. Ming Qian didn't even eat supper. After taking a quick shower, he got into the quilt and fell into a dark sleep.

Awakened by the ringing of the mobile phone in the middle of sleep, Ming Qian had no idea what the person on the other side of the phone was talking about. He closed his eyes tightly, raised an arm to rest on his face, and said weakly: "I'm sleeping."

The fat man was so excited: "I found a screenshot of you on the official blog of the local station, Xiao Ming! You are going to be popular!"

Ming Qian's voice was hoarse: "I'm going to be yelled to death by you, what's the matter, I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'll continue to sleep."

After Ming Qian finished speaking, he hung up the phone. As soon as he turned over, he felt a wall blocking him, but because the wall was soft, he didn't retreat. Instead, he plunged into the wall as if avoiding something. , arched twice like a cat, found a comfortable seat and stopped, and fell into a dark and sweet dream again.

But this soft "wall" opened its eyes, watching how Ming Qian unceremoniously arched into his arms.

Youjun stretched out his hand, and his fingertips lightly touched Mingqian's eyebrow arch. Mingqian's eyebrow arch was not too high, but very smooth. Youjun just touched it lightly, but his fingertips felt a little strange like an electric shock. grow numb.

Even in the dark, You Jun could see everything in front of him clearly, he stretched out his hand again in disbelief, but this time his fingertips touched Ming Qian's cheek.

After working hard for this period of time, Ming Qian's face has lost some flesh, but the skin is still soft and delicate.

That tingling feeling came again.

You Jun withdrew his hand, imitating the appearance in the TV series, he embraced Ming Qian's shoulders, so that Ming Qian could sleep more peacefully and comfortably in his arms.

Since coming to the world and finding his fiancé, Youjun has experienced many things that he cannot understand.

He only has one understanding of the so-called marriage, which is the fate destined by the heavens. Because of this, the two people got married and then held a funeral ceremony. He didn't even know that the funeral ceremony had already turned into a wedding.

As for love, he has neither experienced nor seen it.

How can there be any love between monsters?During the prehistoric period, they were busy grabbing territory and trying to figure out how to get out before the catastrophe came.

Later, from demon to god, most of the beasts also fell into a deep sleep.

The feelings and feelings he experienced after coming to Ming Qian's side were completely unfamiliar to him.

It was so strange that he didn't even know what these feelings came from.

"It's full... It's full... I can't sit down anymore..." Ming Qian babbled in his sleep, one leg rested on You Jun's lap, one arm passed through You Jun's chest, he half hugged You Jun, his head still Put it on Youjun's neck.

As soon as he spoke, the hot air sprayed on Youjun's neck, Youjun's whole body trembled, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

So Youjun, who felt uncomfortable in his heart, did something——

He pushed Mingqian away.

Mingqian is sleeping, even if someone dances on him at this time, he can't wake up, even if he is pushed away by You Jun, he won't wake up, he turned to the other side, and pulled the quilt off You Jun's body by the way Yes, hugging the quilt, his head got into the quilt.

You Jun: "..."

He took Mingqian into his arms again.

He felt the change in his heart again, and then pushed Ming Qian away again.

Hugging again, pushing again, repeating this, I worked hard for the whole second half of the night.

At six o'clock in the morning, Mingqian opened his eyes—his biological clock has been adjusted, and he can wake up at six o'clock every morning without an alarm clock. He lay on the bed, stared at the ceiling, and sat up for 5 minutes in a daze .

Usually he wakes up refreshed after sleeping, and there is nothing wrong with his body, but he didn't know why when he got up this morning, he still felt tired. If he didn't have to go to the store today, he might still be able to sleep for eight hours.

"It's so strange." Ming Qian forced himself to get out of bed, opened the curtains, and stretched himself.

When he turned around, he found that You Jun was not lying on the bed.

Maybe he went to the living room, Mingqian opened the closet to get clothes, he has to change his clothes every day, there is really no way, the smell of the hot pot restaurant is too strong, he is not a customer who leaves after eating for an hour, in I can't feel it when I'm in the store, but I can smell the hot pot smell on my clothes after taking a shower when I go home.

All marinated.

It can only be changed every day. Although you can't smell it when you are doing business, you can definitely smell it in the morning and afternoon.

That taste is not good.

So the clothes are not as durable as before. After all, they have to be washed every day. Several white short sleeves have holes in them.

Although there is money in the bank card now, Ming Qian is used to frugality, and the rag can be used to wipe the table.

It's a pity that it doesn't absorb much water, and after wiping the table twice, I had to throw it away, which made Mingqian feel bad.

Ming Qian went out after tidying up in the bathroom of the master bedroom, and You Jun was not in the living room either.

Ming Qian lost his mind for a moment.

Although it hasn't been long since Youjun came to him, he has already gotten used to Youjun's existence. When he wakes up tomorrow morning, he will be able to see Youjun lying on the bed as soon as he turns his head. Wherever he is, Youjun will be there.

Ming Qian was not used to the sudden disappearance of the people around him.

"Where did You Jun go?" Ming Qian asked Yao who was peeing.

Yao Zaijia has always been in his original form, and he himself prefers the original form. After all, it takes effort to maintain a human form.

Nowadays, many cubs in the clan can't change into real human form, either showing their ears or showing their tails. Even if they can change completely, they have to change back in less than an hour, because they can't maintain it.

That's why Haruka was chosen.

"Your Majesty has gone out." Haruka scratched her chin with her hind leg, "Maybe she went for a morning jog?"

Ming Qian: "...go for a morning run?"

Yao blinked: "In TV dramas, those who go out so early are all for morning jogs, or to walk the dog, and His Majesty didn't take me with him, so he must have gone for a morning jog."

Ming Qian almost knelt down to Yao's divine logic: "You're not a dog."

Yao was dumbfounded for a while: "Bad, almost?"

Although I don't know where You Jun went, but now is not the ancient times, and now there are mobile phones!

Ming Qian called You Jun.

Not in service area?

Ming Qian: "...Forget it, let's go to the store first."

At an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, You Jun maintained his original shape, he was suspended in the air, and his eyes were gently closed.

He couldn't figure out why he was like that last night, and he couldn't think beside Mingqian, so he flew to the altitude of tens of thousands of meters, thinking like a fox.

Thinking about it further, he is likely to become a thinker in the new era.

·

Yiyi doesn't live in Mingqian's house. She has her own residence, but it's far away from the city. Their family is different from Jiyi. They have few children, and the youngest in the family is Yiyi, so they settle in a small town surrounded by mountains and rivers. .

Although the Snake Clan will attract floods when they make a sound, that is also a legend many years ago. No one knows whether they can do it right now, but in order to avoid trouble, they generally still don’t open their mouths.

There are few people in the town, and the relationship between people is simple. They settled here a hundred years ago, and their appearance will change like the human race.

After "died of life", he turned into a young man again, and came back as a relative.

And "dumbness" is a family hereditary disease, and the people living in the town are basically the elderly, or young people who have dropped out of school to work in agriculture before graduating from junior high school, and no one doubts this genetic disease.

However, it takes money to survive in the human race, and they don’t want to have too much contact with the human race, so as not to be seen as flawed, they start farming and raising pigs, but these things are different from those raised by the human race, so even if they sell it, every time I dare not sell more.

They have to be mixed with the goods from the same country and sold together.

In this way, they will not be conspicuous. Even if the buyer thinks that the taste of some dishes is particularly good, they will only think it is a special case.

If something goes wrong, it will be a demon, they are cautious!

"Are you back?" The middle-aged woman stood under the eaves, looking at Yiyi who had just landed.

Yiyi folded her wings and opened her lips slightly. They have their own way of communicating, and they don't need to make a sound to know what the other party is saying: "Well, I charge more than yesterday."

The woman nodded, and took Yiyi to the yard: "You are outside, we can't help you, show more, maybe the opportunity of our family is on you, how many years have there been before the beast Going down to earth, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the next time."

Yiyi nodded lightly: "I will definitely perform well."

The woman took Yiyi's hand. Yiyi was the youngest child in the clan. Hundreds of years ago, they lived worse than they are now. At that time, there were Taoist priests. Unlike now, nine out of ten Taoist priests are fake, and one There is a high possibility that it is half-baked.

"It's not that the clan doesn't love you." The woman patted Yiyi's hand, "It's because it hurts you that I let you go. If you go, you might have a chance to be reborn. Even if you can't become a beast, you can also be less evil. "

Yiyi: "Auntie, I understand everything."

They contracted a hill, and half of the hill is full of vegetables, and the other half is full of pigs, cattle and sheep.

Because it is a monster, there is no need to close the animals for breeding, and the free-range animals will not run around, let alone go to the fields to spoil the crops.

The women took Yiyi up the mountain, and they had to kill pigs and cattle by themselves, and then dismantled them for Yiyi to take away.

For this reason, they also specially took out the treasure of the clan - Qiankun bag.

They don't have a universe in their sleeves, they can have a universe bag because their ancestors are wise and martial, and they know how to leave something for future generations.

They can kill quickly by themselves, after all, they can cast spells, and the bloodletting is fast and clean.

It was even faster to collect the vegetables. There were so many people in the clan, and within an hour, Yiyi had sorted out all the ingredients that Yiyi was going to take away today.

Yiyi will also keep the grocery money that Mingqian gave her, and she plans to keep her salary when she gets her salary this month.

After all, they sell their vegetables and meat with their fellow villagers, and those who come to buy goods will lower the price. Things from the place of origin are not very valuable, and only when they enter the market or supermarket will the price be raised.

And the money raised was not earned by them.

Living among the human race, no matter what, it costs money.

Especially now that technology is so advanced, no matter how country bumpkins the Snake Clan is, they still want to play with high-tech products.

Until now, there is only one computer at home.

Yiyi put the Qiankun bag away and said to the woman, "Gu, I'm leaving."

Woman: "Go early, don't be afraid of suffering."

Yiyi doesn't think it's hard to cut vegetables and serve them, those tasks are not called work, but she still coquettishly said: "When I'm tired, come back and cook for me."

The woman smiled kindly: "Okay, when you come back from vacation, I will make braised pork for you."

Yiyi finished coquettishly and affectionately, then spread her wings again, pinched the hand formula of the invisibility spell, and flew to the other side.

Yiyi knew where there was no surveillance, she landed in a deserted alley, took out two big bags of ingredients from the Qiankun bag, and then walked towards the hot pot restaurant, all the way she walked, there were people staring at her.

A young man walking his dog, because he was watching too intently, bumped into a utility pole and fell back on his ass.

Yiyi didn't understand before, but now that she has been in the human race for a long time, she knows that the other party keeps looking at her because of her beauty.

This made Yiyi a little happy and a little shy, but she wouldn't let anyone see it.

Who hates the feeling of being liked?

Since coming here, apart from being frightened by Youjun occasionally, she is very happy most of the time.

The boss is very nice, and so is Yao. She doesn't have to worry about anything every day, she just needs to cut and serve the vegetables, and the guests are also very nice. No one will touch her or say bad things to her.

She has to work hard.

"Oh, why are you carrying so many things by yourself again?!" The proprietress of the noodle shop came to open the shop alone today. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the "weak" Yiyi carrying two big bags by herself. After carrying it for so long, she hurried up and snatched a bag from Yiyi.

The proprietress was distressed: "A girl with such a symbol, why not go to the office building to sit in the office, why do these hard work?"

Yiyi smiled shyly, took out the phone, and typed with one hand: "I can lift it."

"Is this something worth mentioning?" The proprietress felt even more distressed.

Yiyi blinked, although she didn't understand why the proprietress looked so angry, but her heart was warm, and her whole body was warm.

The proprietress helped Yiyi open the store, and brought the dishes into the back kitchen: "Even if you want to earn money, you have to consider your own body. Don't think that you can do any hard work when you are young. You will suffer when you are old." .”

Yiyi couldn't refute, but just nodded.

"Such an obedient girl." The proprietress looked at Yiyi's face, she liked it no matter what she saw, and she regretted that she didn't have a son.

Yiyi typed: "Auntie is a good person."

The proprietress scolded, "What kind of person am I? Come, go to my place, and I'll serve you a bowl of noodles."

When Mingqian and the others arrived at the store, Yiyi had already finished her breakfast, and the proprietress gave her a cup of soy milk and asked her to sit in the store and drink it slowly.

Probably because of Yiyi's presence, the noodle shop that usually has no business at this time is actually full of people.

The people who eat breakfast are basically office workers, alone, so they share tables.

Usually a table can hold five people, but the table Yiyi sat at was crowded with eight people.

There were men and women, and there was a girl sitting next to Yiyi, who kept talking to Yiyi, but she didn't know what she was talking about, so Yiyi's face turned red.

Ming Qian felt for a moment that Yiyi was going to be abducted by that girl!

After seeing Ming Qian, Yiyi quickly stood up, and then carefully walked out from the inner seat.

The girl who was sitting next to Yiyi just now shouted: "Sister, I added you, remember to pass."

Yiyi turned her head and nodded to the girl.

In the morning, Ming Qian and Yao ate steamed stuffed buns—the quick-frozen steamed stuffed buns at home hadn't been eaten yet, so they shouldn't be wasted.

Yiyi went back to the store and started to process the ingredients with Yao, and then cut the vegetables, while Mingqian boiled the bottom of the pot.

"By the way, Yiyi, have you made stewed vegetables?" Ming Qian asked.

Yiyi was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly became frightened, she forgot!

Seeing Yiyi's reaction, Mingqian knew that she hadn't done it yet, so he continued, "It's fine if you don't do it, I forgot to ask you to take the stone away last night, you take the stone away before making the lo mei, and the next day Just take it back."

Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded again and again.

"By the way, I see that there are pumpkins in the dishes we bought today. Let's try to make pumpkin pie." Ming Qian looked at the time and felt that it was still early, so he could definitely try pumpkin pie.

Ming Qian went to the supermarket to buy a bag of glutinous rice flour for making glutinous rice balls. Three people in the store, including him, could not make pumpkin cakes, so he could only follow the scriptures and make them according to the method found on the Internet.

First wash the pumpkin, cut it and steam it in a pan, take it out after steaming, and press it with a spoon to make a pumpkin puree. He added a little bit of stone water to it, and after the pumpkin paste cooled down, he added it little by little. The glutinous rice flour and pumpkin dough gradually become less sticky, and after forming a ball, divide it into small doses.

Press the rounded agent into a cake, and it can be directly fried in a pan.

He made eight pumpkin pies for the first time. They were still hot when they came out of the pan, and the heat was not controlled very well. One side of the middlemost pumpkin pies in all the pans was a little burnt.

He ate the burnt ones by himself, and distributed the four fried ones to Yao and Yiyi.

Ming Qian tentatively took a small bite, the outer shell was more crisp than he imagined. Although it was made of glutinous rice, it didn't stick to the teeth at all. As soon as he took a bite, the heat and fragrance locked inside immediately wafted out.

The outer skin is vegetarian, and the inner core is fragrant and glutinous.

The most amazing thing is that there is no sugar added, but there is a refreshing sweetness.

Not the sweetness of white sugar, but the sweetness of pumpkin itself.

Mingqian himself doesn't like sweets very much, he has a rather strong taste, and he rarely even eats chocolate. Although he doesn't hate it, he doesn't like it very much either.

But this pumpkin pie is totally different!It simply subverted his perception of pumpkin pie.

Very refreshing and sweet, glutinous rice flour does not stick to the teeth, and it is fragrant and warm in the stomach.

He ate two of them empty-handed, and there were two more burnt ones left, but he was reluctant to throw them away, so he could only put them there first, and eat them when he was hungry.

Yao ate faster, Ming Qian felt that he didn't even chew, worried that he would burn his throat, and after taking Yao finished eating, he stared at the two burnt ones, didn't speak, just stared blankly. Staring blankly, it made Mingqian feel that the child might not have had enough to eat in his whole life.

"Does Yiyi still eat?" Ming Qian doesn't favor one person over another.

Yiyi shook her head, indicating that she was full.

Just now, the proprietress of the noodle shop ordered a big bowl of noodles for her, and the beef alone cost five yuan. If Yiyi was really a human girl, she would definitely not be able to hold on.

So Ming Qian gave the remaining two pumpkin pies to Yao.

Since the taste of the pumpkin pie was not bad, Ming Qian continued to steam the pumpkin and noodles. Anyway, he didn't need to keep watching the bottom of the pot.

He is going to make more, and then freeze them in the refrigerator, take them out and fry them when needed, so that they can be cooked quickly.

Otherwise, the customer doesn't have so much time to order once.

But Mingqian has his own bottom line, that is, the ingredients will never stay overnight.

So on the first day of cooking, Ming Qian is still planning to make less, forty is almost enough, five for each.

It is best if it can be sold, if not, they will take it home and eat it for breakfast tomorrow morning.

"Boss, there seems to be someone outside." Yao glanced outside the door.

It's already nine o'clock in the morning.

There are actually fewer people on the street at this point than in the morning, and all the office workers have gone to work. Only the old men and women around will come out to buy food, and the young people who don't have to go to work will not come out to hang out now.

Ming Qian wiped the glutinous rice flour on his hands, covered the kneaded noodles with plastic wrap, and then walked out of the back kitchen.

A middle-aged man was standing at the door. He was wearing casual clothes and a peaked cap. When he saw Ming Qian coming out, he grinned brightly. He stepped forward and took out his business card. Put the business card into Ming Qian's hand.

Ming Qian looked down and saw that this person was Zhao He, a broker with a very long company name, he had never heard of it anyway.

"Mr. Ming." The man said with a smile, "My name is Zhao He. I came here immediately after watching the food show last night. You don't know, your video has already started to spread on the Internet."

"We are a professional packaging team, and we provide one-stop marketing and publicity services. Don't look at the video that is on fire now, but if no one promotes it behind, the fire will disappear after a while." Zhao He took out his phone, "Look, these few days All the anchors are packaged by our company, and now they can earn tens of millions a year just by carrying the goods, although the company has to share it, but they still get a lot of it.”

Ming Qian was a little confused; "I'm not going to be an Internet celebrity, I have to open a hot pot restaurant."

Zhao He hated iron for being weak, and continued to persuade: "How much money can you make by opening a hot pot restaurant? Even if you are a small Internet celebrity, as long as you can receive advertisements, you can earn more in one day than you in a month. That is still a small Internet celebrity .”

"I really can't..." Ming Qian waved his hands and said, "Mr. Zhao, I still have to continue cooking, so I'll go in first."

Zhao He grabbed Ming Qian's arm and was about to kneel down to Ming Qian. He said miserably: "Mr. Ming, my performance this year is not up to the standard. If I can't bring anyone under my command, I will be fired. "

Ming Qian patted Zhao He on the shoulder, expressing that he was helpless.

He was stronger than Zhao He, he gently and skillfully pulled Zhao He's hand away, and ran towards the back kitchen as if fleeing for his life.

Zhao He didn't expect Ming Qian to be so strong, and Ming Qian broke free so easily, but he won't give up easily!

He wants Ming Qian to see his sincerity. In ancient times, he paid three visits to the thatched cottage, but now, he has slammed into the hot pot restaurant!

Zhao He stood at the door of the store, devoting himself to being a qualified door god.

When he stood dizzy and was about to enter the store to find a seat, he suddenly saw a person walking towards him.

His eyes lit up at that moment.

The person walking towards him was wearing a white short-sleeve, a pair of light-colored jeans, and dyed a head of very fashionable and cool silver hair, but the most striking thing was not his hair, but his height and face.

How many good deeds does a person have to do in his previous life to have such an outstanding face in this life?

Zhao He swallowed his saliva, and ran towards that person, there is no limit to the road!Ming Qian couldn't go that way, so he went another way!

"Handsome guy! Are you an Internet celebrity?" Zhao He stopped in front of the other party, blocked the other party's way, and laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears.

After thinking about it for several hours in the sky, you still haven't figured out the changes in yourself, You Jun put on a cold face, and said in a serious tone, "Get lost."

Zhao He: "..."

Why!What's wrong with being an Internet celebrity!

Today's young people don't even love money or fame!

The world has changed!
