Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant

On the first day of work, Zhu was very nervous. He wore what he thought was the most decent and beautiful suit, a black suit with leather shoes. To prove his solemnity, he also wore a vest under his suit jacket.

"Boss, is this okay?" Before going out, Zhu walked up to Ming Qian and asked nervously.

Ming Qian, who just took off his apron, turned his head and his eyes lit up.

Although Bamboo's original form is very cute, even cuter than Haruka, but in human form he looks handsome and has an elite style.

It looks abstinent and mature, maybe because it is too abstinent, but it is a bit lustful.

Ming Qian praised: "You are handsome, you will definitely attract the attention of all passers-by when you go out later,"

Zhu seemed not to be comforted by this sentence at all, he took a deep breath and nodded stiffly.

"By the way, boss, didn't you say yesterday that you wouldn't come this morning?" Zhu suddenly remembered this.

Ming Qian: "Uh... I changed my mind temporarily, can't I?"

Zhu: "Then I'll go out first."

After Zhu went out, Ming Qian heaved a sigh of relief.

After waking up this morning, he kept thinking about what happened before going to bed last night.

Speaking of which, I didn't dream about my teacher last night.

There must be only one reason for not dreaming—You Jun greeted the teacher.

Ah... I really want to know what Youjun told the teacher.

"what happened?"

Ming Qian shivered.

He turned his head, and Youjun was standing behind him.

"It's nothing." Ming Qian waved his hands again and again, his face flushed again, and he secretly scolded himself for being worthless, why he blushed so easily, "The teacher didn't come last night."

You Jun looked at Ming Qian's face slowly turning red, and he didn't know what to think of, his own face also turned red, but he said lightly: "I sent him a letter, telling him not to look for you last night."

Ming Qian lowered his head: "Yes, is that so? Thank you."

Youjun also bowed his head, he looked at Mingqian's hand: "There is no need to say thank you between you and me."

Yiyi next to him rested his chin and looked at them.

Yao turned to look at Yiyi: "What's wrong?"

Yiyi shook her head.

She just wanted to be in a relationship all of a sudden.

Recently, the pink bubbles between the boss and Youjun are popping up everywhere.

Even though winter is coming soon, as long as the boss and Youjun are around, it seems that it will always be spring.

Well, find someone to fall in love with.

Looking for alien beasts or human races?

Human race, human race is more romantic.

Looking at the smile and yearning expression on Yiyi's face, Yao Yao gradually became confused.

remote:"?"

·

"Meimei, are there any seats available at this hour?" The girls walked together, they had just taken a taxi from school.

The university does not have classes every day, so even if it is not Saturday and Sunday, you can still come out.

Zhou Mei walked in the front with her mobile phone. She chewed gum and said, "I know the boss very well. I sent him a message yesterday. He said he would reserve a private room for me as long as we arrive before 11:30." gone."

Friends envied: "You have such a good relationship with the boss."

"I knew I would have come here with you when I first heard the name of the store."

"The boss is so handsome!"

"Before I wanted to ask the boss if he had a girlfriend, but I couldn't ask at all. I always felt that even if the boss didn't have a girlfriend, I would have no chance."

"And the waitresses in the shop are all so pretty."

"That's right, if you are close to the water, you get the moon first, even if the boss doesn't have a girlfriend, it won't be my turn."

"Don't you guys like the cashier guy? I think the cashier guy is handsome too, and he's so cold."

"Just like the male lead in a romance novel, he's only gentle with the female lead, much more so than the central air conditioner."

"No, that kind of man is only suitable for staying in novels, and I don't dare to date him in reality."

"It looks kind of scary."

"I feel that if I get closer to him, I will be attacked by him."

"Zhou Mei, have you talked to the cashier brother?"

Zhou Mei turned her head, her makeup skills have improved recently, in other words, she has become more beautiful again, although many people in the school said behind her back that she is a plastic surgery freak, but more and more boys chase her every day, and she also becomes more and more beautiful. Confident.

"I said it, just said it?" Zhou Mei thought for a while, "I asked him if there was any discount, and he said no."

"... Can this be considered talking?"

Zhou Mei laughed and said, "Why don't you count?"

They talked and laughed, and finally they were about to reach the door of the store.

"Is there someone standing at the door?"

"Fuck! Don't block me! So handsome!"

"Ahhhhh! Three-piece suit! It's good to poke me!"

"Take a picture with your phone, take a quick picture!"

Zhu stood behind the newly installed cabinet at the door, sweat dripping from his nervous forehead. Although the shop was full of people, it was not yet the peak dining period, so no customers started to line up yet, so he didn't number the customers.

But everyone who passed by the store turned to look at him, and some took out their mobile phones to take pictures of him before they even walked far.

He used to live in the county town, but he didn't dare to live in a place with many people, he only dared to stay on the edge of the city with few people.

He didn't dare to go out because he was afraid that he would discover his real body.

Although it is a strange beast, the ostrich is really useless, it doesn't have a strong physique, and it doesn't have any supernatural powers.

It looks like a normal mouse except for a pair of wings.

It's not special, and it's not powerful. If someone finds out, he has no ability to resist.

If he was arrested for experimentation, or even beaten to death, he could only bear it honestly.

So he trembled, fearing that Mingqian would not accept him, he would be safe staying in this shop, there were Yiyi, Yao, and that adult.

As long as he works here and performs well, he will gradually become stronger, right?

Stop being a timid mouse.

"Handsome guy, we have a reservation." Zhou Mei walked up to Zhu, and showed him the chat records between herself and Mingqian, "The boss said he reserved a private room for us."

Zhu shivered nervously, and quickly said: "You go straight in, it's in Ya 2."

Zhou Mei nodded, and she said to Zhu before going in: "Handsome guy, you are very handsome."

bamboo:"……"

The girl behind laughed: "Meimei, what kind of description do you have, the characteristics are all out."

Zhou Mei said seriously, "It would be even better if I could wear a pair of gold-rimmed glasses."

The proposal was well received.

"Then the sense of abstinence will be stronger."

"Shh, don't say a few words, in front of my own face."

"Handsome, can I take a photo with you?"

Zhu tried to make himself look more natural, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and he nodded stiffly: "Yes."

"Bamboo is quite popular." Ming Qian came out with some side dishes, and said to Chen Yan after putting down the dishes.

Chen Yan was a little envious: "He is handsome, and girls like to take pictures with him. It's been a long time since no one has asked me to take pictures with him."

Ming Qian patted Chen Yan on the shoulder: "You don't rely on your face, you rely on your talent. Is that Japanese still contacting you?"

Although Yota Katsumura went back, he didn't seem to give up on getting close to Chen Yan. After adding Chen Yan's Twitter friends, he kept persuading Chen Yan to go to Japan, saying that he would definitely make Chen Yan a world-renowned carving master.

Even though Chen Yan had rejected many times, Yota Katsumura still persevered.

But Chen Yan wasn't angry either, after all his skills had been recognized.

Always a good thing.

"Boss, the guy outside the door is so handsome." Zhou Mei said to Ming Qian who walked into the private room to deliver food.

Ming Qian also smiled: "Don't be too enthusiastic, he is a bit timid."

"Ah, that's cuter."

"The contrast is cute!"

Although he is a newcomer in the store, regular customers quickly start to like him because of his looks.

There are no new dishes in the store recently, and there are no side dishes and desserts.

Sitting behind the counter and looking at his phone, Ming Qian felt that he couldn't slack off any longer, and he should order a new side dish quickly.

Add a dessert, which guests can order after their meal.

"It's delicious!" The new customer shouted excitedly, "How can it be so delicious!"

"Is it? I was also surprised when I first came here. I thought it was a nonsense on the Internet, but it turned out to be really delicious. I don't know how to describe it."

"And I don't think the environment here is bad. I don't know why so many people say the environment is bad."

"Is it because the outside environment is bad? The store is pretty good, and I think the decoration style is very distinctive."

Almost every table of guests ordered a bunch of dishes, and those who didn't know thought they were hungry for three days before eating for the first time.

Ming Qian looked at the satisfied expressions on the faces of the guests, and he also felt very satisfied.

At the beginning, he opened a hot pot restaurant because he didn't need to hire a cook, which was more economical. Now he feels that opening a hot pot restaurant by himself is a very correct choice.

"I'll go to the supermarket to buy seasonings tomorrow morning." Ming Qian turned to Youjun and said, "I'll try it in reality after I tried it in my dream tonight."

You Jun nodded: "I will accompany you."

Ming Qian laughed: "Okay."

The peak dining period is coming soon. From 11:30 to [-]:[-] in the afternoon, there are customers queuing up.

Zhu was already mentally prepared, but he was still taken aback by the number of guests. He had never dealt with so many people at the same time.

"This is your number." Zhu handed the printed number slip to the guest standing in front of him.

The guest said "thank you" after receiving it.

Zhu Chong smiled at the guest.

"We have to line up too." Passers-by saw so many people queuing up, looked at the bamboo queen, and came forward to ask for a number.

Zhu went to operate the machine again, and the machine was not as difficult as he imagined at first, and now he is very proficient.

"Handsome, can you add me as a friend?"

More than one guest said that to him.

At this time, Zhu would whisper, "I don't have a mobile phone, sorry."

It's not an excuse, he really doesn't have a mobile phone, but the guests all thought it was an excuse, a tactful refusal, so after getting Zhu's answer, they didn't bother, but sat down in the waiting area and waited for their number to be called.

"Xingxing, take out the dishes." Yao said to Xingxing.

Xing Xing picked up the tray, and she ran like a gust of wind. Unlike Zhu, she was warm and generous.

"The loin slices are delicious." Xing Xing said to the newcomer who didn't know what to order.

The guest hesitated: "But a lot of waist slices have a taste."

Before Xing Xing could speak, the guests at the table next to him smiled and said, "The loin slices in this store have no taste at all, I think it's a signature dish."

"The duck intestines are also very crispy."

"I must recommend Junhua, it's super delicious! It's so crispy!"

Unlike other tables, there was a table by the window where the guests were silent.

They finished the soup in silence, then finished the side dishes on the table in silence, and finally cleaned up all the dishes in the pot in silence.

After eating, the expressions on everyone's faces were complicated.

"It's really the same as the long talk." They spoke in Japanese.

“Although it is hot pot, it is delicious.”

"Let's decide."

"I think so too, so let's make a decision."

"This store qualifies for this year's top ten."

"I think I can take the first place."

"But the first is nine nights every year..."

"Forget it, whether it is the first place or not is left to the president."

They were already the last few members of the jury. During this period, nearly a thousand members of the jury came to dine at different times, just to avoid being discovered by the owner of the restaurant and others.

Nine Nights is a Japanese restaurant, and it is also a very famous restaurant that has won numerous honors.

The chefs in the store are all top chefs, and their monthly income is higher than that of ordinary middle-level managers in a year. Nine Nights takes a high-end route, and those who can enter the store are either rich or expensive. Tighten your belt and save months to get in for a meal.

What makes the boss of Nine Nights most proud is that Nine Nights has won the honor of No. [-] in the top ten Asian restaurants in Crystal of Asia for five consecutive years.

It not only raised the style of their store, but also doubled the turnover of the store every year. The customers are not only Japanese, but also many people from other countries.

Guests from many European countries travel thousands of miles to come for dinner.

They have always followed the high-end route, requiring extreme delicacy in everything, and the weight of each dish must be accurate to the gram.

The ingredients used must also be the freshest.

Not to mention Asia, even in the whole world, there are not many restaurants that strive for perfection and exquisiteness like them.

He hopes that his shop can become the pride of Japan.

It is better than any western French food.

"The Crystal of Asia's Top [-] will be announced again this year." The employee looked at the phone, "It will be broadcast live on Youtube at [-] o'clock tonight."

The boss of Nine Nights said confidently: "This year's number one is definitely us."

What gave him confidence was not only his previous experience, but also the fact that most of the jury members were Japanese.

How is it possible that the Japanese do not support their own restaurants?

The boss of Nine Nights was holding his mobile phone when it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.

He has to refresh several times a minute to see if he can catch the live broadcast.

"It's started." The boss of Nine Nights watched the live broadcast excitedly.

Just like the previous years, the live broadcast started with last year's commentary clips, and the speed was very fast, and Nine Nights was mentioned first.

The boss puffed out his chest proudly.

His restaurant is worthy of such an honor, there is no better restaurant in Asia than Nine Nights.

When this year's top ten is about to be announced, the boss of Nine Nights is still a little nervous. Although he is sure that this year's top ten is still his shop, as long as it is not announced, there will still be a trace of suspense.

"This year's top ten Asian restaurants, the tenth place is—"

“Patti Restaurant, located in Thailand…”

Each restaurant has a 10-minute video introduction.

Boss Nine Nights sighed, if he had any opinion on this Asian Crystal, it must be too procrastinating.

Those restaurants are not important at all, people will only remember the first, not the second and third at all.

No matter what, only No.1 is the most valuable.

"Call me when you report to the third place." The boss of Nine Nights said to the employees.

The employee replied immediately: "Okay."

Back in the lounge, the boss of Nine Nights lay down on the sofa. He opened the official Twitter, and there were a lot of messages on the latest tweet, all the diners and fans in the store congratulated him in advance.

"This time, Jiuye will definitely win the top ten of Asia Crystal."

"Nine Nights is not only number one in China, but also number one in Asia. I think Nine Nights will definitely become number one in the world in the future."

"Nine nights are the pride of Japan."

"Pushing Japanese cuisine to the world, Nine Nights is well-deserved."

"In order to go to Jiuye for a meal, I have saved money for half a year."

"And Nine Nights only accepts reservations. This is the confidence of Asia's No. [-]."

But there is also a response that is different

"But I heard people say that the number one restaurant this year may be Chinese restaurants... In fact, I think Chinese food is also delicious. I like dumplings and mapo tofu."

The smile on the corner of Boss Jiuye's mouth disappeared, but luckily there was still a reply under that reply.

Nine Nights fans are refuting this comment.

"What are you talking about? Even if Chinese food is delicious, it can't be compared with Jiuye at all. Are you Japanese? Do you like Chinese food more than Japanese food? Chinese food is so oily and not healthy at all. I like Chinese food are poor."

"People who have no money will like to eat Chinese food, and those who have a little money are more willing to eat Japanese food. Every year, so many European tourists fly here just to have a meal at Jiuye."

"Are you really Japanese? Are you a Chinese in disguise?"

"Chinese people, don't pretend to be Japanese and leave a message, okay?"

"Is it a Chinese student? Chinese students like to brag about Chinese food. If you take them to eat authentic Japanese food, they will know how superficial they are."

That's right, the smile on the corner of Boss Jiuye's mouth rose again.

How does Chinese food compare with the food in his shop?

The real high-end is not to look at the decoration of the store, but to see whether there are enough honors and diners from all over the world.

"Boss, it's No.3," the voice of an employee came from outside.

The boss of Jiuye adjusted his collar and walked out of the lounge. There were not many customers in the store at this time. The boss of Jiuye asked all the employees to watch with him and witness the honor of Jiuye this year.

"No.3, Hongyue Restaurant, located in China..."

The boss of Nine Nights remembered the message on Twitter, and said unhappily: "This year, the Chinese restaurant actually entered the top three."

Although I don't know why the boss suddenly became so hostile towards the Chinese restaurant, the employees followed his words and said, "Maybe it's because the ranking of the Chinese restaurant was too low in the past few years?"

"The jury certainly had concerns in that regard as well."

"But we are the number one. We are no match for any Chinese or Thai food."

"Yes, the second and first must be Japanese dishes, and the first must be us."

The third documentary film is finally over, and No.2 will be released soon.

The boss and staff of Nine Nights are very relaxed.

"It's time to register for second."

"I don't know which one it will be."

The boss of Nine Nights "hush": "Be quiet."

"No.2, Nine Nights Restaurant, located in Japan..."

Everyone was quiet.

Boss Jiuye's face darkened instantly.

The employees were bewildered, and someone whispered: "How is this possible? We have always been number one. Is there any store in China that is better than us?"

"Maybe they bribed the jury."

"Yes, yes, it must have bribed the jury."

They carefully looked at the face of the boss, and found that the boss had already clenched his fist.

"boss……"

Boss Jiuye's expression was indifferent: "Don't talk, keep watching."

Soon, the documentary about Nine Nights also ended.

"No.1 of the top ten restaurants in Asia this year is——"

Everyone held their breath unconsciously.

who is it?

Which store is it?

Every diner who pays attention to Crystal of Asia is waiting.

Since it's not Jiuye, which store is it?Can it taste better than Jiuye's, can it beat Jiuye?

"Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant is located in X City, China..."

"Hotpot restaurant?!" Someone yelled, "How is this possible! They must have bribed the jury! A hotpot restaurant!"

"Yes! Hot pot puts all the ingredients together, how can it be called gourmet food?"

"It must have been a bribe!"

The blue veins on Boss Jiuye's forehead popped up. He didn't believe it. He didn't believe that Jiuye wasn't number one. Why should a hotpot restaurant be number one?Even if he lost to an ordinary Chinese restaurant, he would recognize it. How could it be a hot pot restaurant? !

Are the dishes in his store not as good as those cooked in one pot? !

This is an insult to him!

Boss Nine Nights picked up his cell phone and dialed Yota Katsumura's cell phone. His hands were shaking. The moment the call was connected, he couldn't help asking: "Mr. Katsumura, this year's awards are..."

Katsumura Yota's voice was as harsh as ever: "What happened to this year's awards?"

The boss of Nine Nights lowered his voice: "Is there something wrong? The first is a Chinese hot pot restaurant?"

Yota Katsumura: "No problem, I went to this store in person, and the judging panel of thousands of people also made this store get the first place with an absolute advantage in the number of votes."

Boss Nine Nights finally couldn't help shouting: "I don't believe it!"

"You are insulting me! You are insulting all restaurants in Asia!"

"Can a hot pot restaurant be considered a restaurant?! Can hot pot be considered gourmet? Only ordinary people like to eat hot pot. It is cheap and easy to get. The same base is cooked with different ingredients, so can it be considered gourmet?!"

Katsumura Yota's voice was much colder: "If you call me just to say these words, you are too arrogant."

"Is it because you were number one in the past five years, that's why you became so arrogant?"

"If you continue like this, next year you may not even get the second place."

"Don't call me again, if you don't want to humiliate yourself."

"correct."

"If the food in Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant can't be considered gourmet, then Jiuye is nothing, even worse than the garbage on the roadside."

"beep--"

Boss Jiuye's eyes widened. He looked at his mobile phone, the muscles on his face trembling.

He said to the employees: "Go, find someone, and find a way to let everyone know that Asia Crystal has accepted bribes from that store!"

"He insulted me, how dare he insult me!"

"And that hot pot restaurant!"

Boss Nine Nights clenched his fists, and his eyes were about to burst: "I will never let them go!"
