Chapter 008 is somewhat intriguing
The tiger does not feel sad and denies: "Not at all! We have just set off! There are four of us in total, all men, and we have only one off-road vehicle. We expect to arrive around 11:50 to 12:10, mainly depending on the traffic conditions. By the way, we have brought two cases of beer and a bit of lamb with us. Is that okay?"
The somewhat foolish Anliang scratched his head and could only decide to have a bowl of bone soup noodles for lunch later. After all, the bone soup is made with spring water from the space, so the taste for cooking the noodles should not be bad, right
How could one possibly fail with a small space and a tranquil fountain?
It appears that in small spaces, there is an additional amplifying effect on the growth of plants
Another younger man echoed, "Exactly, Four-Eyed Brother doesn't know, how could we possibly know?"
Anliang carried a large tray, leaving the Spicy Hot Pot Restaurant with a selection of half meat and eight vegetarian dishes. Among the eight vegetarian dishes, all but the old tofu were placed together in the same bamboo basket. Otherwise, Anliang would truly be unable to carry away sixteen dishes at once using just one large tray.
Hello, brother! I am the Tiger who is not sad! A cheerful voice, imbued with refinement, came through.
The last man, with a calm demeanor, spoke up, "Fourth Brother, this time it is Brother Hu who is treating us!"
Following Anliang's suggestion, after the four parked their cars, Laohu Bu Youshang and Tanchikuanmo each carried a box of beer, Zhuang Shisan held a bag of lamb, while Lin Sige leisurely walked empty-handed
Time passes swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, it is already eleven o'clock. The large pot of soup on the stove has overflowed with a rich aroma, even the skilled chef Anliang cannot help but lick his lips.
Shayan District, Shulin Village
While stewing the soup, An Liang suddenly realized that he had made a mistake by puncturing the pot. He had just completely poured 20 liters of spring water into the large soup pot, so how was he going to solve his lunch problem?
Hello, I am Qian Bei Liang Ren. Are you all about to arrive?" An Liang inquired
Anliang directly used a day's worth of space spring water in one go
The tiger neither felt sorrow nor paid any attention; instead, it seemed to explain to itself, "You are ranked fourth in the Lin family and wear glasses; are you not the 'four-eyed brother'?"
Anliang, feeling unwilling to accept the situation, once again inspected the yard but still found nothing. Whether it was spinach or bok choy, there were no signs of rooting or sprouting whatsoever
Although Anliang's attitude is not particularly cordial, they are here to eat, not to enjoy the service. If one desires good service, one should go to a bathhouse like Dabaojian
I apologize, I just wanted to mention in advance that I am mainly concerned about causing trouble. If there is nothing else, then I will hang up for now and go prepare the corresponding dishes for you. After saying this, Anliang did not care whether Laohu was still busy or not and directly hung up the phone
He turned his head to look at the other three and couldn't help but laugh, "This kid is quite interesting!"
At around 11:40, Anliang heard the sound of a horn coming from outside the courtyard. He quickly walked out of the living room and saw a black SUV parked at the entrance of the courtyard
Haha! Brother, you are really funny! It's just two cases of beer, which are small boxes containing twelve bottles. That means six bottles per person, how could anyone possibly get drunk from that?" The tiger responded with a smile.
Two large marrow bones, along with the steam loss from simmering the soup, require 20 liters of water to prepare the broth. By noon, at most only half of it will remain.
In fact, all four of them are members of the Misty Flower Forum, where they met in the experience exchange section. Subsequently, due to their good rapport, they gradually became friends
Although space spring water can be used directly, using tube bone broth adds a bit of flair and makes it easier to promote. Around 7:50, Anliang returned home and placed the large pot for boiling the broth on the gas stove, then poured in 20 liters of space spring water
Anliang responded with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment!" Then, pointing to a laptop on another table, he continued, "On the Paibao website, you can apply for a refund first, and I will confirm it immediately. If you are not confident in my computer, you can use your mobile phone to apply for the refund."
Anliang added: "I do not provide designated driver services here. Since you have all been drinking, it is up to you to resolve who will drive when you leave."
Throughout the entire process, Anliang turned away to avoid suspicion, lest he inadvertently glimpse the password to the Tiger's Untroubled Treasure Network.
Just as Anliang was contemplating whether to scoop a bowl to taste first, his phone rang. Anliang glanced at the last four digits of the number and realized it was the number of the person he had arranged to meet yesterday, Hu Buxiushang, so he pressed the answer button
As soon as the tiger stepped into the living room, it took a deep breath and then praised, "Not bad, not bad, it smells great!"
The tiger is not sad and is once again stunned
Yes! Are you not worried, Tiger? Anliang asked in response, although he already knew the answer, he still felt the need to ask.
Anliang still needs to go to Jihua's side to directly bring back the eight meat and eight vegetarian dishes
Among the other three men, one man wearing glasses laughed and said, "Interesting! Really interesting! This young man is either a complete novice who knows nothing about business, or he truly possesses some special recipe and has immense confidence in his hot pot. What do you think it is?"
Yes
With the dishes arranged, An Liang revealed a smile on his face; his entrepreneurial journey is about to begin. As for whether it will be successful? Is there still a need to ask this question?
Anliang originally had no intention of keeping any illicit money, so he will naturally refund the deposit in full, one hundred percent. He is merely promoting his hot pot business!
After blanching the tubular bones, Anliang places them in a colander to drain. He is preparing old ginger. In the ingredients for simmering the clear broth, old ginger can enhance the flavor and eliminate any fishy smell, making it a very important seasoning.
Anliang did not care what the tiger was contemplating and directly said: "The car cannot stop here, move a little forward, then turn right along the courtyard wall to enter. Hmm, the hot pot is almost ready, so you can come in once you park the car!" After saying this, Anliang turned and walked into the courtyard.
After the processing of "The Tiger Is Not Sad" was completed, An Liang was reminded and then turned around to log into the seller's backend on his laptop, directly clicking to agree to the refund for "The Tiger Is Not Sad"
Crossing the courtyard, An Liang glanced at the SUV with a slight frown, pondering to himself, could it be that the Tiger of Worry had arrived early?
When Anliang walked over, the passenger window of the SUV rolled down. Huzi looked at Anliang with a smile and asked, "Are you Qianbei Liangren's brother?"
Have you checked if the refund has been completed? Anliang has closed the seller's backend, indicating that Tiger should not be sad. Please log in again at https://www.hetushu.com.
"Damn it! How many times have I said it? Don't call me Four-Eyed Brother! Call me Brother Lin Si!" The man wearing glasses appeared somewhat exasperated.
Anliang responded: "No problem. However, I must state in advance that I personally do not like individuals with poor drinking habits. If you get drunk and cause a scene here, you will be blacklisted. Next time, you will not be welcomed. Is that acceptable to you?"
Brother Lin Si glared at the young man, "You glutton, if you continue to slander your Brother Si like this, be careful that I won't take you along next time!"
The four individuals circled around the courtyard wall and entered through the main gate, subsequently making their way to the living room on the first floor. Anliang had already placed the hot pot base on the folding hot pot table and was preparing to light the fire
"Four-Eyed Brother, you have no idea, how could we possibly know?" the tiger replied with a smile.
The method for handling old ginger is quite simple; it does not require slicing or dicing. One only needs to strike the old ginger several times with the flat side of a knife to break it apart.
Hello, how are you? Anliang took the initiative to greet.
Early in the morning, Anliang prepares to go to the farmers' market to purchase two pieces of tube bone, and then make tube bone soup, so that it can be directly used as the broth for the hot pot at noon.
The tiger, with a mix of laughter and scolding, said: "Brother, will you ever conduct business properly? I want to see just how delicious your hot pot is, to the extent that it makes your business attitude so negative!"
The rugged-looking man immediately nodded, "Yes, it's me, it's me. Finally found the place, it really wasn't easy!" As he spoke, the Tiger of No Regrets surveyed An Liang's courtyard, a hint of confusion in his eyes
When Anliang had finished processing the old ginger, the space in the large pot for simmering soup had not yet reached a boil. However, it was close, as there were already many bubbles forming at the bottom of the pot.
Although the bok choy and spinach in the rooftop farm were irrigated with spring water in a small space, they did not germinate at all, let alone grow into seedlings exceeding 0.5 centimeters in height
Upon returning home, Anliang glanced at the time; it was nearly 11:30. He placed eight meat dishes and aged tofu on the folding hot pot table, while a tray containing seven vegetable dishes was set on another hot pot table. Since there was only one table in use today, the other table was free, so placing the dishes there was not an issue
On the other side, inside a Mercedes GL450 SUV, a rugged-looking young man put down the phone in surprise and, looking at the three other men beside him, said with a hint of helplessness: "That guy hung up!"
Anliang helplessly shook his head, returned to the bedroom on the second floor, and fell into a deep sleep on the bed. The next morning at 7:00, Anliang was awakened by the alarm clock
"What a joke! It's a free tasting! Zhuang Shisan, don't tell me you don't know?" Lin Sige bluntly revealed the truth about Lao Hu Bu You Shang.
Anliang did not wait for the water in the large soup pot to come to a complete boil; instead, he directly added the tubular bones and old ginger, then covered the pot and simmered it vigorously over high heat
Getting out of bed, Anliang picked up the flashlight and first went up to the rooftop. Under the illumination of the flashlight, he examined the condition of the rooftop farm
The tiger, untroubled, cheerfully said: "What is there to worry about?" Saying this, he approached the laptop, quickly logged into the Taobao website, and clicked to apply for a refund.
The large pot of soup is being heated vigorously over a high flame, while Anliang uses regular tap water to blanch the tubular bones first, in order to remove their gamey taste
The tiger is not sad and has logged back into the Pai Bao website. After confirming that the refund was completed, he smiled and said, "Brother, I received the refund!"
