Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant

Fortunately, Youjun reminded Mingqian to buy a juicer before leaving the supermarket. He carried too many things, and many of them were fragile, so Youjun carried most of them. , Jun You can't use the universe in his sleeves, he can only carry the bag.

Because they used a blindfold, the faces of the two looked very ordinary, so even if someone glanced at them because of their height, they would not stare at them all the time, let alone take out their mobile phones to take pictures.

Ming Qian was in high spirits on the way back and answered a few calls on the way.

One is a call from a college classmate, informing Ming Qian that he is getting married. At the end of this month, the invitation has been sent to Ming Qian, and it is estimated that he will receive it soon.

The other one was called by Fatty, and they wanted to discuss with him how much gift money would be appropriate.

After all, I don’t know each other very well, and my relationship was average when I was studying. Ming Qian asked: “The gift money for average relationship is less than [-], right?”

"You are a big boss now, how can you sell a few hundred dollars?" The fat man smacked his mouth, "Anyway, I usually don't contact each other when I have nothing to do, and I think of us when I get married. Take it back."

Mingqian: "..."

He probably won't be able to get the gift money back in his life, so he can only keep giving it away.

Don't even try to get away with any gift money for marriage, gift money for a child's full moon wine, gift money for one-year-old, or even gift money for going to college.

Human relations do not necessarily have to come and go.

Ming Qian: "Anyway, I will give as much as you give, and I have only a normal relationship with him. It would be wrong to give too much."

It's not very close friends, even if they are close friends, it depends on how much other close friends send.

"I still need to discuss it with Pan Yang." The fat man whispered, "But what I think Pan Yang means is that he has an average relationship with Zhou Kai. He has played basketball a few times without saying a few words in college, so he just Pretend you didn't see it, don't go, anyway, he won't invite Zhou Kai when he gets married."

Fatty: "Are you going? If you don't go, then I won't go either. If I have the money, I'll eat a few meals, okay?"

Ming Qian thought for a while: "...don't leave the question to me, call Pan Yang after I'm done."

The fat man sighed: "Okay, I've had six wedding banquets this year, forget about my junior high school classmates, and my elementary school classmates, they just send out invitations at class reunions, and I can't say no to them in front of people. What is it called, I have sent out two months' wages."

Now Fatty has found another job as an event planner in a sports company. The salary is not high or low. Because he has a house, the pressure of life is not great. The only problem now is all kinds of banquets that can’t be eaten. one thousand.

Hanging up the phone, Ming Qian felt a little melancholy: "It seems that we won't be able to receive the gift money."

Youjun loves to watch TV dramas, and knows the customs of marriage, so he said seriously: "You can do it, we have a wedding."

It's not mandatory to obtain a marriage certificate. Even heterosexuals, there are many people who hold the wedding first and then obtain the certificate, and the gift money will be accepted.

Ming Qian: "...isn't it good?"

Isn't that the obvious way to collect money?

You Jun: "They didn't feel bad when they got married, did they?"

Ming Qian suddenly realized: "It makes sense."

But Ming Qian still said: "I'm not thick-skinned yet, wait for me to practice for a few more years."

Anyway, he couldn't find a classmate he hadn't contacted for several years and let them come to his wedding.

However, when he thought that he and Youjun still had a chance to hold a wedding, Ming Qian was a little happy. He was a little traditional in this respect, and he always felt that the two of them could go on forever only after the wedding was held.

Although there is always a difference between reality and imagination, and most of the time they are even opposite, but Ming Qian still thinks that a wedding can be called a husband and wife, otherwise he will always be unmarried.

When he got home, the first thing Mingqian did was to run into the kitchen. He first took out the black tea that Chen Yan had brought over, and then put the milk he bought on the table, but the first thing he wanted to do was pearls.

The tapioca flour is mixed with the squeezed juice, kneaded into a ball, and then rolled into small balls, put in a pot and boiled.

After cooking, it is crystal clear and has a fruity fragrance. The color is much lighter than the black pearls sold in milk tea shops. The pearls made from dragon juice are pink after cooking, and they look small and cute.

Then there is the milk tea. Now put an appropriate amount of water in the pot, then put the black tea leaves into it, boil until it boils and bubbles, pour in pure milk after the brown color comes out, Ming Qian didn’t put sugar in it, he’s going to make a cup first Try the taste of the sugar, and then make a cup of caramel and only white sugar.

"Try it, is it good?" Ming Qian poured out two glasses, both of which were filled with pink pearls.

Ming Qian himself took a sip, but what he didn't expect was that what he drank at the first mouthful was not the milky taste, but a strong tea flavor, and the milky taste could not be tasted until the second sip, because there was no sugar, so this cup of milk tea has a little Neither is sweet.

But not sweet doesn't mean not fragrant.

Even Jun You said after drinking it: "Chen Yan tea is fried well."

The aroma of black tea can relieve greasy, Ming Qian actually doesn't like to drink milk, it's okay to drink one or two sips, but let him drink a cup and he will feel tired.

But because of the aroma of the black tea, Ming Qian didn't waste any of it, and drank the whole cup of milk tea.

The second time I made it, Mingqian did not use pure milk, but fresh milk.

After the milk tea is ready, one cup is filled with white sugar, and the other cup is boiled with caramel and poured into it.

Mingqian tasted these two cups one by one, and in the end he still felt that according to his taste, the one with caramel was obviously better.

Because the caramel made by myself is not as dark as the ready-made ones, and the taste is not strong, but it is more fragrant. Although it is sweet when mixed with milk tea, it is not as sweet as the milk tea sold outside, and it is more fragrant.

And the aftertaste is stronger, even after drinking it, there is still a milky fragrance in the mouth.

Ming Qian took only two sips before handing the cup to Youjun, his eyes fixed on Youjun, as if they were shining, his mouth was smiling, and there was a little pride in his tone that could not be detected: "You Try it, it's really delicious."

You Jun took a sip from Ming Qian's expectant gaze, he really wanted to praise Ming Qian, but he had no talent and hadn't learned it the day after tomorrow, so he could only say: "Not bad."

Fortunately, Mingqian knows Youjun well, knowing that Youjun is good is equal to being good.

"Fresh-squeezed juice is not difficult. When the time comes, I will equip the store with a juicer. The ones from professional stores are not good for home use." After Ming Qian finished speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and checked to see if he could order one online. It can be packaged for sale.Apart from making milk tea, Ming Qian has nothing else to do, and spends all his afternoon making pearls.

Make more, and you can take it directly to the store tomorrow, saving a lot of effort.

There are many colors of pearls. Apart from pink, most of them are colorless and lavender. These pearls look nothing, ordinary, and only when they are eaten in the mouth can they taste the fresh and fruity aroma.

But Ming Qian always felt that pearls were a bit hard to chew, so he used to drink milk tea without pearls, only coconut or konjac.

Compared with the soft waxy pearl, he still prefers the crunchy one.

But it seems a bit difficult to make coconuts by yourself?If it's too much trouble, forget it, after all, what he mainly sells is not milk tea.

I am not prepared to make a fortune selling milk tea.

In the hot pot restaurant, Chen Yan was working. He had already "turned" Ming Li over, and he was waiting to educate Ming Xin when he had time. Chen Yan would never let this opportunity to express himself go. While humming a song, he wiped the table. After cleaning up, he went back to the back kitchen to wash his hands.

Recently, his life is also very peaceful. He goes to work when he is in class, and roasts tea leaves and carves walnuts at home when he is not in class.

The small life was very comfortable, and because of the report given by Mingqian's work, he had no other places to spend, so he saved a sum of money, especially the money was quite a lot, enough for him to buy a few masters. Nuclei carving works.

Although you can't afford too expensive ones, you can definitely buy thousands or tens of thousands.

But occasionally people who don't come to eat hot pot come to the store to look for him.

Like now.

The man stood in front of Chen Yan, his eyes full of accusations and sadness, as if Chen Yan was a scumbag who always abandoned him.

"Are you really not selling it?" The man looked at Chen Yan with a sad face.

Chen Yan still had a smile on his face: "I'm sorry sir, I really don't sell it. If you like the tea I stir-fry, you can come to the store. I provide all the tea in the store."

The man sighed: "I want to take it back and give it to my grandpa. He doesn't like anything but a sip of tea. He's almost a hundred years old. He only has such hobbies. Tell me, as a junior, should I drink it?" How much do you think about his old man?"

"If you think the price just now is not suitable, then we can talk again."

Man: "Another five hundred?"

Chen Yan was still smiling.

The man tentatively added money: "Seven hundred?"

Chen Yan shook his head slightly.

The man said helplessly: "Is it okay to add another thousand? My income is also very limited. For the sake of filial piety, let me buy some."

He moved it with emotion and reason, hoping to impress Chen Yan: "You must have elders, right? You must understand my mood."

Chen Yan could only sigh: "Sir, I can't lift this ban. If I sell it to you, what should I do to those who come to me in the future? I don't have that much tea to sell. If I sell all of them, the shop will I can’t provide the tea in the bag.”

And the boss told him before that he will have to boil milk tea in the store later, and milk tea also needs tea leaves.

The ones bought from outside are definitely not as good as Chen Yan's own frying.

Seeing that he couldn't impress Chen Yan, the man mentioned money again: "Five thousand, five thousand?"

Chen Yan still did not let go.

The man wiped his face. In order to buy tea, he even made up his nearly hundred-year-old grandfather, but he still couldn't make Chen Yan let go.

Is he easy?The purpose of flying here is to buy tea and go back to honor the boss. For a chance of promotion, he begged his father to sue his grandmother, looking for ways around, finally found an opportunity, Haikou also boasted, if he can't take it back, Don't talk about whether you can still get promoted, you will lose face.

Now Chen Yan is already a "man of the hour", but unlike Ming Qian's "Hong", Chen Yan's "Hong" is in a small circle.

People in this circle flocked to Chen Yan's tea, because it was hard to buy, and some people even called out the price of the famous tea, and the most generous person said that as long as Chen Yan was willing to sell, he would buy it for two.

Even though the tea was free in the store, but because it couldn't be taken out of the store, people in this small circle were waiting to see which big shot could smash Chen Yan's mouth open.

Chen Yan himself didn't know about these things, and his willingness to refuse was always very simple - he roasted tea every year, and he didn't think the tea he roasted was a rare commodity, and there was a great demand for tea in the shop, and he would buy tea in the future. Selling milk tea, how can there be extra volume to sell to these people?

If they ask him to buy a nuclear carving, then he will definitely sell it.

It's a pity that they didn't even ask about it, let alone bought it. They probably didn't even know that he could carve nuclei.

"Sir, is there anything else you can do?" Chen Yan asked the man.

Man: "Can't we discuss it again?"

Chen Yan still shook his head and refused with a smile on his face.

The man could only walk out dejectedly.

This is already the third person who came to find Chen Yan this week.

"Chen Yan, why don't you sell him the tea?" Sui Ru came out eating bananas. She was very busy, but she would rest for an hour every day. She didn't deliver food from three to four in the afternoon, and she didn't work. , The guests also know that the takeaway business will stop during this time period.

Chen Yan: "There is not enough tea."

Sui Ru finished eating the bananas: "If I were you, I would be able to make a fortune selling tea. Aren't they willing to spend money to buy it? Just make the price high, and there will always be people who take advantage of it and are willing to pay."

Chen Yan: "..." Why is Sui Ru becoming more and more philistine now?

Sui Ru felt that what he said made sense: "If I can earn that much money, I'll buy a big house with floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor. It's like a mansion in a TV series with a swimming pool. How comfortable is it?"

Chen Yan imagined such a house, and suddenly his heart moved: "...Then if I sell it, will the boss be angry?"

Sui Ru rolled his eyes: "You don't know who the boss is. The boss said before that we can develop a side business if we want, as long as it doesn't affect our work."

"You can save some tea and sell it." Sui Ru advised Chen Yan, "Don't sell too much, just a little, and then let the group of people call the price, and the one with the highest price will get it. What do you think?"

Chen Yan was a little hesitant, but he still couldn't resist the temptation of the big house - he still lives in the cave to this day!

The cave is big and spacious, and he can run and jump in it when he returns to his original shape. In the city, he can't afford a big house at all. In this city, his savings can't even afford a small house with one bedroom and one living room. The prices are sky-high.

If he could afford a big house in the city, he would definitely move to live in the city. He has no feelings for his cave at all, it can be called cold-blooded and heartless.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Chen Yan nodded seriously.

Sui Ru: "Then do I have a share?"

Chen Yan was taken aback, and then said blankly: "I don't know if the second floor is busy, I'll go up and have a look. By the way, Sui Ru, you should go and deliver the food after you rest, don't rest for too long."

Sui Ru: "..."

You are more like a boss than a boss.

Chen Yan suddenly realized that the future was bright, and the smile on his face became much more sincere, but the guests couldn't see it. In the eyes of the guests, Chen Yan has always been a gentle, simple and honest man.

Compared with the handsome men and beautiful women, Chen Yan is the most popular person in the store.

After turning around a few times, Chen Yan returned to the first floor. There were not many customers on the first floor, only two tables. Chen Yan went outside, took out his mobile phone and checked the call records. There are too many, and he didn't save notes for them, so he can only look through them one by one.

Fortunately, Chen Yan's memory is very good, he remembered the phone number with the highest offer, and immediately called back.

The phone was quickly picked up there too.

"Is it Mr. Zhao?" Even though he was not facing a real person, Chen Yan still had a smile on his face when he spoke.

Mr. Zhao obviously didn't expect Chen Yan to call him, and he was flattered for a while: "It's me, you are Chen Yan?"

Chen Yan: "Yes, that's right. Recently, I happened to have a catty of tea leaves in my hand. I wanted to ask if you still want it?"

Mr. Zhao quickly said: "Of course! I want them all!"

Chen Yan: "The price..."

Mr. Zhao: "The price is negotiable! How about going as we agreed last time?"

Chen Yan also remembered that the price that Mr. Zhao said before was indeed not low. Based on the last price, a catty of tea can be sold for 12 yuan.

But it was able to sell at such a high price because Chen Yan had been rejecting people who came to buy tea.

So the wealthy bigwigs in the circle competed to ask for a price in order to win a sigh of relief and save face.

"Okay." Chen Yan said with a smile: "I'll send you the account number, you just need to transfer it, and I'll also send you the tracking number."

Mr. Zhao: "Next time if you still have tea in your hand, you must consider me first."

Chen Yan: "Of course, I will definitely give priority to you."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yan thought that the 12 can buy three square meters, and felt that the desire to buy a luxury house was still a bit far away.

Maybe you can also sell nuclear carvings?I just don't know if anyone will buy it.

The Japanese old man said before that he would introduce customers to him, but I don’t know if he still remembers it.

Of course Katsumura Yota remembered that he was sitting at home at this time, showing off his wooden bracelets to the guests.

Every wood carving on this bracelet is lifelike, and it can be seen that it is hand-carved at a glance. Of course, the machine can be so fine, but in his opinion, the things carved by the machine have no soul, and must be carefully crafted by the master. , can be called a work of art.

"Excuse me, is this master in Japan now?" The middle-aged man said with a serious face, "I want to see him immediately."

"This is a very delicate and spiritual work. It is not something that young people can carve out. I don't know if this master has any nuclear carving works. If it is a nuclear carving, the price of this bracelet will be sky-high." Someone carefully looked at the hand. Chuan, not stingy with praise, "If it is a work of a domestic master, no one should know about it."

The circle of nuclear carving is not big, on the contrary, both in China and Japan, it is a very small circle.

They look down on those carved by machines, and those carved by masters are too expensive, especially top masters, that is a priceless "luxury".

You need not only money, but also status to buy it.But these masters are not short of money, and they will not sell the works they are satisfied with, but keep them at home for future generations.

This has led to more monks and less food in this circle.

"I met this master by chance in a shop." Yota Katsumura was a little proud. He saw the bracelet at a glance at that time. With his charisma, he asked Chen Yan to give the bracelet to him. He could boast about it for another ten years, but even if he did it, he kept it very low-key, "I saw this bracelet at the time, and I hope the master will let me take a closer look."

Katsumura Yota coughed lightly: "Then he gave me this bracelet, this may be the fate between me and him."

The person who came to visit him also said very sensiblely: "That's because you are different from others, the master must appreciate your temperament."

"If it was me, the master would definitely not give it to me."

……

After listening to the rainbow fart for a while, Katsumura Yota stopped being a joke: "This master works at Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant."

Everyone: "..."

They thought the master was a hermit, the kind who lived in the countryside and mountains.

I didn't expect to work in a hot pot restaurant... so down-to-earth?

They all know Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant, not only because this restaurant has become the No. [-] selection in Asia Crystal, but also because this restaurant is also very popular in Japan, young people basically know it, and they will come in groups When I went to China, I just went to Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant to have a full meal.

As a result, many people in Japan saw business opportunities and opened many new Chinese hot pot restaurants.

Although they will not directly display the billboards, they will also look for trolls on the Internet. In a post that someone mentioned Shanhai Hotpot Restaurant, they said: "XX also opened a hotpot restaurant, which tastes similar to Shanhai Hotpot Restaurant. It is too difficult to go abroad. It’s troublesome, it’s better to eat at home.”

In the beginning, they lied to many Japanese young people, but the young people who had eaten at the Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant were furious after trying it, and angrily accused the owner of the restaurant as a liar.

There was a lot of trouble on the Internet for a while, and it even appeared on the entertainment news, where it was told as a joke by the host.

Even Yota Katsumura never thought that the Shanhai hot pot restaurant would become such a popular restaurant in Japan.

Even because the hot pot restaurant is so famous, many people still look for the source of the film after hearing that the hot pot restaurant has participated in a Chinese variety show, and there are free updates of the subtitle group.

Katsumura Yota was even more proud of this, thinking that he was a hero with insight, so he discovered this store.

But what made him most proud was that he discovered Chen Yan, an unborn master.

"We must go and have a look."

"Yes, only by going over and having a chat with the master, can we understand the master's thoughts better and understand the deep meaning in the carving more clearly."

Everyone looked at each other and finally made up their minds: "Let's book a ticket for tomorrow."

So the next day, Chen Yan, who was busy in the store, just wiped off the sweat from his forehead when he saw a group of people appearing in front of the store, all of them were middle-aged men, and they were all wearing suits. They were very formal and scary. .

The guests in line were shocked.

"What are you here for?" asked a bold guest.

A middle-aged man who thought he was very good at Chinese said: "I'm bored because I'm chasing stars!"

Guest: "Are you here to see the boss? The boss is no longer in the shop..."

The middle-aged man said with a serious face, "No, I'm here to see Master Chen Yan!"

"Master Chen Yan is China, no! The pride and hope of Asian nuclear sculpture!"

Chen Yan in the shop: "..."

Come on!Give him a hole in the ground and let him get in!
