Chapter 010: Taking Away the Base Material

The tiger chuckled and said, "To be honest, I just want to eat at night!"

Anliang nodded and said, "Yes! By the way, remember to go to the forum and reply to indicate that you have completed the free tasting. After all, the moderator is paying attention to this, to avoid having the post deleted"

Originally, the glutton thought that Anliang would be reluctant, but Anliang nodded and directly agreed, saying: "No problem! However, I do not have special food packaging bags, only ordinary plastic bags. If you can accept that, I have no objections."

Anliang checked and found that the restaurant "The Tiger Is Not Sad" has not yet released any tasting reviews. However, Anliang was not in a hurry. After all, it was clear that "The Tiger Is Not Sad" is not from the Shayan District, so it would take some time for him to return home

In fact, on the other side, the four members of the band "Tiger Does Not Feel Sad" are driving towards the Da'an District. They have obtained hot pot base ingredients from Anliang, but they are not genuinely planning to cook a meal in the evening

The soup made from tubular bones simmered in spring water is truly delicious, and a bowl of this soup greatly lifts An Liang's spirits. An Liang decides to keep the remaining tubular bone soup in the large pot for use tomorrow.

The tiger, not feeling sad, held one side of the plastic bag and widened its opening. Anliang used a napkin to cushion the edge of the pot, lifted the bottom of the pot, and then carefully poured the contents into the black plastic bag.

It must be said that Anliang's speculation is indeed very accurate

Alright! The gluttonous monster shouted again, "Boss! Boss!"

It took nearly half an hour for Anliang to finish cleaning up the remnants, primarily involving the washing of the stainless steel hot pot and various plates and bowls

The tiger scratched its head and said, "So when will you officially start operating with the - picture - book?"

Originally, Anliang intended to organize a genuine free tasting event, but since there was already the example of "The Tiger Does Not Grieve," Anliang no longer felt conflicted and still set a deposit of 10,000 yuan

Anliang walked out holding a laptop, looking at the messy table, and casually asked, "Have you finished eating?"

Having checked the time, it was already past 2 o'clock. Anliang placed the plates and bowls into the tray and sent them over to Jihua. These plates and bowls were of no use left at home.

Alright! Anliang responded and directly hung up the phone

Then, Anliang copied the post once more, made some minor modifications, and re-released the second round of the free tasting event

If poppy husks were added, they would definitely not let Anliang off the hook. However, if not, and there are no other harmful chemical components, they would certainly support Anliang, even if, as Anliang mentioned, the price increases slightly, they would still support him

Let's try and see! Lin Sige responded with a smile, "Crazy Demon, call the boss out; we need to pack the hot pot base."

Anliang nodded and said, "The free tasting event will continue for another two days. However, the four of you cannot participate again. Since you have already tasted the products, I organize the free tasting event mainly to expand potential customers. So, you understand!"

This method of cooking is absolutely illegal

The tiger, not feeling sad, inquired: "Brother, is there still a tasting event tomorrow?"

Subsequently, Anliang emerged holding a black plastic bag filled with tap water, and handed the bag to the glutton, saying: "Hold this for a moment, I will get two more bags for the books, to avoid any trouble if it leaks later!"

The gluttonous man held a black plastic bag filled with water, and An Liang added two more layers inside. He then continued, "Bring another person to hold the opening, so I can easily pour the base ingredients in!"

Anliang turned and walked towards the kitchen. Inside the kitchen, he took out several black plastic bags. The glutton followed closely behind Anliang, watching the black bags he took out, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Anliang began to tidy up the mess on the table when he suddenly noticed that none of the two cases of beer brought by the four members of the Tiger Not Sad had been consumed

Alright, alright! After the four people answered in place of "The Tiger Does Not Feel Sad," they turned and left

The call was quickly connected, and the tiger, without hesitation, said: "Brother, what is the matter?"

"Well, the work is done!" Anliang said with a smile

If the tiger is not sad within today and still does not release the tasting review, it is feared that Anliang will have no choice but to blacklist the tiger and no longer welcome it

The conditions for the second round of the free tasting event are identical to those of the first round. After Anliang made the announcement, he exited the Wulikaohua forum and prepared to enter the small space to observe the internal situation.

I can accept it, I can accept it! The gluttonous monster quickly said.

Zhuang Shisan shook his head, "I'm afraid this little boss won't allow it! His temper is a bit strange; he treats customers with indifference. How can we expect him to permit taking the hot pot base away?"

The tiger shakes its head in sorrow, "There shouldn't be any shells! I have eaten shellfish hotpot before, but it doesn't taste like this."

In the Wuli Kanhua forum, Anliang began editing a post, indicating in the main post and the book title that the first round of the free tasting event had concluded. Anliang did not make any self-praising remarks, simply stating that the first round of the free tasting event had ended.

Hehe! An Liang smiled calmly and said, "I apologize, but our establishment is not officially open at the moment. Even after we officially open, I fear we will only operate during lunch hours. Furthermore, there will likely only be two tables available each day."

The glutton can be one hundred percent certain that the black plastic bag is definitely a garbage bag! Inside the kitchen trash can, there is also a very similar black bag!

Anliang nodded in agreement, "Yes!"

"It is possible! However, excluding the applicants, each table can accommodate a maximum of four people. Therefore, among the four of you, only three can participate." Anliang made a decision; since the issue arose from the incompleteness of the rules he had set, he chose to be generous.

Your beer has not been taken away yet" Anliang said directly

They hope to test the hot pot base to see if such a delicious hot pot truly contains any inappropriate additives

The glutton unexpectedly looked at Anliang and asked in confusion: "Boss, do you really want to make money or not? This kind of business attitude is quite unacceptable!"

Thank you! Brother Lin Si wore a smile and said, "In that case, we will not disturb the boss. See you tomorrow"

As Anliang's thoughts began to shift, a vision emerged within the magical little space. Anliang discovered that the circumstances within this small space had undergone a significant transformation once again

Anliang smiled and said, "There are many ways to make money. Some people prefer to sell in high volume with low margins, while others seek high profits and book royalties. I should be the latter. By raising the selling price, one can still make a profit, can't they?"

If someone else participates in the event and obtains a tasting slot, can they invite us to come for the tasting? Lin Sige asked again

In the kitchen, Anliang looked at the pot of broth made from tubular bones, which was about half full. Since he had not had lunch, he decided to make a bowl of noodle soup using the tubular bone broth

Lin Sige adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "It's actually quite easy to determine whether there are additives; all we need to do is take the hot pot base away and send it to the health bureau for testing, and won't we know then?"

I don't know for now, perhaps in three days, perhaps in five days, you should keep an eye on the Misty Flower Forum! Besides, you have my phone number; whenever you want to ask, just give me a call!" Anliang casually replied.

Moreover, the most critical point is that the four individuals from "The Tiger Is Not Sad" are clearly potential customers. Even though An Liang's behavior may seem rather peculiar, it should not lead to pushing potential customers away.

Oh! The gluttonous monster nodded

What the hell

The term "shell added" is a local expression from Mist City, referring to certain unscrupulous merchants who, in order to enhance the flavor of hot pot and attract repeat customers, secretly add poppy husks to the hot pot base.

Oh! Is it alright to leave it at your place? We will come over to drink tomorrow!" The tiger said with a smile, "In any case, we will definitely come tomorrow!"

Anliang considered this issue and realized that it stemmed from the loopholes created by the incompleteness of the rules he had established

This hot pot meal was indeed the best hot pot that the four of us from "The Tiger Is Not Sad" have ever had

Hmm! Boss, we hope to take the hot pot base from wwwhetushucomcom to go, is that alright? Your hot pot is truly delicious, and we can cook some vegetables with it when we get home tonight. The glutton came up with an excuse

However, why is hot pot so delicious

Lin Sige pondered for a moment and then asked, "Boss, when you say that the four of us cannot participate in the free tasting event again, what exactly do you mean? Does it mean that the four of us cannot apply for the free tasting qualification again tomorrow?"

Anliang placed two black bags together, then turned on the faucet to let the water flow. He injected some cold tap water into the two layers of black bags.

After sending it over, Anliang went straight back to the bedroom on the second floor. He held his notebook, preparing to go online and check the situation on the Misty Forum.

The newly added responses are no longer solely criticisms of Anliang, but rather a call for Lao Hu to not be sad, hoping that Lao Hu will provide commentary. As the time has already surpassed 2:00, according to the information posted by Anliang, the dining period ends at 2:00.

The glutton coughed; it was his first time encountering a boss who openly expressed a desire to overcharge customers right in front of them. Indeed, what a peculiar individual!

Eh? The tiger looked at Anliang in surprise.

An Liang hurriedly ran out of the courtyard, only to find that the four individuals had already driven away in a Mercedes SUV. An Liang had no choice but to take out his phone and dial the number of Lao Hu Bu You Shuang.

"Hey, brothers, with your extensive culinary experience, could you evaluate why this hot pot is so delicious?" the gluttonous enthusiast quietly inquired, then added, "Could it be that they added some shells?"

After logging into "Seeing Flowers in the Mist," Anliang's newly released promotional post has received over 200 replies and more than 3,000 views
