Chapter 009: The meaning lingers on!

However, they have raised a question

Zhuang Shisan was not polite either; he picked up a piece of fresh tripe and placed it into the boiling broth. He then reminded, "Lin Sige, Kuangmo, you two continue to comment! If you can analyze the aroma and determine what seasonings are in this broth, that would be even better!"

The gluttonous fiend had his little scheme exposed, yet he was not the least bit embarrassed. Instead, he mocked, "Hmph! You three elder brothers are not giving any leeway to your younger brother; it is simply against all reason!"

The youngest glutton surveyed the dishes on the table, his brows involuntarily furrowing slightly, and he spoke: "Brother Lin Si, you better not have any illusions! The dishes prepared by this guy are nothing special, and they can't even be considered exquisite."

Hot pot contains a lot of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, which naturally makes it quite spicy. Therefore, it is necessary to use sesame oil to soothe the intestines and alleviate the heat

Among them, the glutton eats the least

However, there was a detail that caught the attention of Brother Lin Si; the tiger did not put down its chopsticks, showing no signs of sadness

The gluttonous man exclaimed excitedly, "I knew it, there must be something delicious in a place like this!" He directly tossed the fresh goose intestines into the bottom of the pot, placed his chopsticks on the bowl of condiments, and stood up, preparing to leave

After Anliang finished speaking, he turned around and left directly

The gluttonous fiend took the vegetarian dishes from the neighboring table and then said, "Fourth brother, would you like to have some wine?"

Lin Sige let out a hum and said, "I said, you show-off, leave some for me!"

Anliang and the tiger were not troubled. After confirming the refund of the deposit of 10,000 yuan, Anliang pointed to the hot pot table filled with dishes and said, "Well, your hot pot is ready! A total of eight meat and eight vegetable dishes are available for free tasting! Among them, seven vegetable dishes are in that m.hetushu.com.com strainer; you can help yourselves. As you can see, there are no waiters here, and no service to speak of. Also, I forgot to mention, rice is not provided here at noon. Well, beer is available, and it's next to the strainer. As you can see, there are no waiters here, and no service to speak of. Also, I forgot to mention, rice is not provided here at noon. Well, beer is available, and it's next to the strainer. Alright, I won't disturb your meal any longer. If you have any questions, just call me; I'll be next door playing on my computer." After Anliang finished speaking, he really left with his laptop, leaving the four people looking at each other in confusion.

While the two were conversing, the tiger, not feeling sad, had already begun to use its chopsticks. It picked up a large handful of fresh goose intestines and placed them into the boiling pot, stirring the chopsticks erratically in an effort to cook the fresh goose intestines quickly.

Lin Sige also remained silent. After eating the fresh goose intestines, he placed another handful of fresh goose intestines at the bottom of the pot and then contentedly said: "This flavor is simply wonderful! To be honest, this hot pot is the best I have ever had!"

"Brother Tiger, do you drink?" The gluttonous monster did not give up and asked another person.

Whether it is fresh tripe or green tripe, both are essential dishes in hot pot. However, to enjoy tripe, one must possess the skill to cook it properly; otherwise, it may become overcooked, resulting in an undesirable texture

How much can a fresh goose intestine yield? Tiger and Brother Lin each took a portion, and together they consumed half. The gluttonous one took some more, and then each of the two took another portion, leaving two pieces for the glutton, which was already considered merciful

The tiger does not feel sad and shakes its head, "Your little thoughts, do you think we are unaware? What is the purpose of drinking? To bloat your stomach! The portion of vegetarian dishes at this restaurant is quite generous; if the taste is also good, then won't we just have to watch you eat and look at the pictures in the book?"

The tiger that first picked up the chopsticks was not sorrowful; it scooped the fresh goose intestines from the bottom of the pot, merely glanced at them, and placed them into a bowl filled with fragrant sesame oil.

The tiger whispered, "What the hell, this guy really has some personality!"

Lin Sige chuckled, "You little rascal, do not forget, one cannot judge a person by their appearance, nor can seawater be measured by a bucket. The dishes may be ordinary, but whether they are truly delicious depends on the hot pot base!"

The gluttonous fiend finally got to taste two fresh goose intestines. As the fresh goose intestines entered his mouth, the gluttonous fiend felt that they were not only chewy but also exceptionally crisp

After finishing the fresh goose intestines, the glutton looked at the tiger without sadness and complained again: "Brother Tiger, what about our brotherly bond? After all this time, you have eaten all the fresh goose intestines!"

The tiger, not feeling sad, quickly chewed and then said with a bitter smile: "I was fooled! Damn it, it doesn't taste good at all!" After saying this, the tiger patted Lin Sige's right hand holding the chopsticks, then stood up and signaled the three to get ready to leave

Anliang's home, the living room on the first floor

The gluttonous fiend looked at the square bowl filled with fresh goose intestines with a pained expression, realizing that only half of the fresh goose intestines remained. If he did not act soon, he would likely end up with nothing at all.

The gluttonous fiend unwillingly exclaimed: "We will pay!"

Brother Lin Si, matters on the table are, of course, handled according to the rules of the table. What is there to reserve? Those who eat quickly get to eat more! Clearly, Zhuang Shisan would not intentionally reserve fresh tripe for Brother Lin Si

The glutton exclaimed helplessly: "Boss, boss!"

The hot pot base gradually began to boil under the intense heat. Originally sealed by oil, the aroma emerged from the bottom of the pot due to the boiling action

So fragrant! The glutton's eyes narrowed, wearing a greedy expression.

Looking at the bowl of fresh goose intestines, only two or three pieces remained. The glutton, while complaining, picked up the last piece of fresh goose intestine and placed it at the bottom of the pot, not daring to release the chopsticks.

"I apologize, but our establishment is not officially open and we do not have a regular menu. Therefore, as you can see, we only have sixteen dishes available for you to choose from," Anliang explained, though he did not appear to be the least bit apologetic. "Oh, by the way, didn't you bring your own lamb? Since our establishment is not officially open, we do not have any regulations against bringing outside food. Additionally, we do not offer extra dishes, beverage service, or white rice. Well then, please enjoy your meal, and I won't disturb you further"

I said, "Brother Tiger, is it really necessary? Is it truly that important? Our brotherhood is worth less than a mere serving of fresh goose intestines?" The gluttonous critic remarked.

"What the heck! Is it really okay for you to do this?" the gluttonous monster complained again

On Zhuang Shisan's calm face, a trace of curiosity emerged, yet he did not express any comments

Lin Sige also took a sniff and remarked, "Indeed, there is some skill to it!"

Brother Lin Si smiled and said, "Then tell me, what solutions do you have? After all, it's free food; are we really going to force a purchase? Alright, Crazy Demon, enough with the nonsense, throw all the mutton we brought in. Also, bring over those vegetarian dishes; I haven't eaten enough at all"

The tiger is not sad, haha, isn't this meeting your expectations? You just said that looking at the dishes makes you feel that this hot pot is not delicious, and I am responding to your prediction!

As they noticed the absence of meat dishes, the four paused briefly. The gluttonous one activated his complaint mode again, "Brother Tiger, when we get back, we must report this guy on the forum! This is so outrageous and unscrupulous. The boss is simply malicious! Such a delicious hot pot, yet they don't offer a service for additional ingredients. Isn't this just teasing our appetites?"

Lin Sige pushed up his glasses and said with a half-smile, "This restaurant is quite interesting! Lao Hu, turn up the heat a bit; I am eager to taste what makes this hot pot so special!"

The glutton let out a grunt, ceased any complaints, and began to compete with the three older brothers for the limited food. In about fifteen minutes, nearly all eight meat dishes were completely devoured

An Liang spread his hands helplessly, saying, "I am very sorry! I remember the explanation of the free tasting event, which stated very clearly that no additional dishes would be provided!"

The gluttonous man stared blankly at Anliang, then, feeling disheartened, turned to the trio of Lao Hu, Bu You Shuang, and complained, "This is the most arrogant boss I have ever seen, bar none! I can't believe it; I must expose him on the forum! This unscrupulous merchant is definitely a black-hearted merchant!"

The tiger, untroubled, completely ignored the gluttonous monster, swiftly devouring the fresh goose intestines just served by the glutton. It then picked up a large handful of fresh goose intestines and placed them at the bottom of the pot

The gluttonous fiend continued to grumble, but he soon realized that the three older brothers seemed to be ignoring him. It was then that he noticed the three brothers were voraciously devouring the food on the table.

The gluttonous man stared in astonishment at Tiger, who appeared untroubled, and the other two individuals, saying, "Uh, Brother Tiger, what do you mean by this?"

An Liang walked out from the adjacent room, looked at the four people, and inquired, "What is the matter?"

The other three turned to look at Tiger Not Sad, awaiting his evaluation

Lin Sige looked at the tiger without any sorrow, revealing a strange smile. Zhuang Shisan did not move at all, but instead, he contentedly swayed his chopsticks, trying to cook the tripe thoroughly.

The tiger, not feeling sorrowful, was stirring a piece of tender beef in the hot pot broth, reminding, "You keep complaining; by the time you finish your complaints, we will have almost finished eating! Keep going, don't stop!"

Until now, the gluttonous monster has finally realized that the tiger was just fooling him, and the purpose seemed merely to snatch away the fresh goose intestines he had with Brother Lin Si

The tiger, untroubled, swirled the fresh goose intestines in the bowl of condiments, then picked them up and fed them into its mouth. As it chewed, the tiger furrowed its brow.

The tiger, not feeling sorrowful, silently pointed at Brother Lin Si with a smile

Brother Lin Si shook his head with a smile, "Not for now, let's see how the vegetarian dishes taste! Although the portion of the meat dishes is a bit small, the portion of the vegetarian dishes is still quite generous."

Add one more fresh goose intestine! The glutton exclaimed, for a glutton who loves fresh goose intestines, just two pieces are hardly enough to fill the gaps between the teeth

Lin Sige shot a glare at Zhuang Shisan, "You pretentious fool, hum!" Although he was speaking, Lin Sige's actions were not slow, as he also picked up a large handful of fresh goose intestines.

Zhuang Shisan quietly ate seven or eight pieces of tripe without making a sound

As they got closer, the four of them finally finished the last bit of vegetables. This hot pot was the best they had ever eaten.

The tiger, feeling dejected as he noticed that Lin Sige was ignoring him, quickly sat down and picked up the fresh goose intestines that the glutton had just discarded, placing them into the condiment bowl
