Although it was just after seven o'clock, the hot pot restaurant was busy at this time.
Zhang Xiaoqiang scanned the seats and found that they were almost full.
"Sir, this is the menu. What would you like to eat?" The waiter stepped forward with a smile on his face.
Zhang Xiaoqiang took the menu and looked through it casually. There was not a single dish on it that he could afford at the moment.
I'm depreesed! I recall that back then, I could afford instant noodles, and would cook braised eggs and meat dishes for free.
But since I had Brother Pig... Well, raising a baby hurts your health, but raising pigs hurts your money.
Silently exchanging the menus with the waiter, Zhang Xiaoqiang replied decisively: "Just give me the one you're promoting, uh, what's its name?"
"A banquet full of Han and Han people?"
"Yes! That's it!" Zhang Xiaoqiang tapped the table.
The waiter glanced at Zhu, and the two of them looked hesitant: "You are just... two people?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang raised his face inexplicably: "What? Can't two people do it?"
"Oh, no, no, that's not the case. What I mean is, the upper limit is three people. Our Manchu-Han banquet pot has enough portion. I'm afraid you two..."
"Oh, you don't have to worry about this, just go ahead and do it!"
"I don't know if I told you during the promotion just now that if you can't finish the meal at our event, you have to pay the full price." The waiter reminded in a low voice.
Zhang Xiaoqiang waved his hand indifferently: "I know, I know, we will definitely finish eating."
Come on, there are still jobs that old pigs can't handle these days!
"Okay! Just wait a moment, I'll prepare it for you."
After the waiter left, Lao Zhu leaned over and said in a low voice: "Xiaoqiang, what you just said mean that you can eat for free here?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded: "That's it for now, as long as you can eat everything they serve."
"Oh, I understand." Returning to his original position, the old pig began to eagerly wait for the dinner to be served.
Zhang Xiaoqiang swept around the diners. It didn't matter. He was shocked after the sweep.
On the surrounding tables, almost every table had a super-large hot pot that was as big as a footbath, and the inside was steaming. Needless to say, these were all free activities to take advantage of.
However, looking at the condition of everyone, they are in quite a painful state, and their facial expressions look like they are struggling with constipation all year round... It seems that the situation is not optimistic!
Zhang Xiaoqiang felt the pressure increasing. At this time, the waiter came over with the prepared cauldron.
To be precise, two people worked together to lift the pot. From this, you can imagine how terrifying the size and weight of this hot pot are.
"Bang!" As soon as the pot was placed on the table, the tea splashed out.
The waiter reached out and opened the lid of the pot, and Zhang Xiaoqiang swallowed hard.
There are a lot of ingredients, such as mutton, chicken, rice cakes, vermicelli, potatoes, tofu skin... all the ingredients you have ever tasted in hot pot, this pot contains them all, and it is worthy of the word "Manchu-Han Banquet".
But when Zhang Xiaoqiang faced this extremely real feast, he felt like running away.
"Uh... Well, you have a lot of pots, how much does it cost?" he asked with a trembling voice that was not very sharp.
Perhaps sensing Zhang Xiaoqiang's timidity, the waiter replied with a playful smile: "This is our store's signature dish. The normal price is 588, which is a very auspicious number."
"Hey, lucky, lucky, really lucky."
Geely, you big-headed ghost, it belongs to you! This is such a fucking scam!
I have to say that this merchant knows how to make money by taking advantage of people's psychology of taking advantage. His seemingly affordable promotions are simply "wolves in sheep's clothing."
"Haha, gentlemen, please use it slowly. If you can't finish it, you have to pay in full."
Zhang Xiaoqiang curled his lips with meaning, and his teeth started to itch when he saw the waiter's playful expression.
"This... can you eat it now?" Lao Zhu looked up at the waiter who was still watching the show.
The waiter was startled for a moment, then pointed to the sauce plate that came with the pot: "Oh, ok, ok, this is our store's special seasoning. You can dip it in and eat it. It will increase the taste and help you eat more."
The waiter was still joking.
The old pig stood up straight away, picked up a piece of mutton, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it twice: "Well, it tastes good."
"Haha," of course it tastes good now. I wonder if you can still say the same in half an hour!
He thought so in his heart, but the waiter didn't dare to say it. He still had that complicated smile: "Haha, the hot pot in our store naturally tastes good."
Zhang Xiaoqiang noticed the waiter's gloating, and waved his hands angrily: "Okay, okay, let's take care of it ourselves. You can go and do your work."
After sending the waiter away, Zhang Xiaoqiang asked Lao Zhu: "Brother Zhu! Are you... confident that you can handle this big pot?"
"What do you mean?" Old Zhu had a look of confusion on his face.
"Uh, don't you think this pot is big?"
"Da, what's wrong?"
"I mean... do you think we can finish it?"
"Hey~ should I be able to or not?" Old Zhu Zhanger was confused.
"Brother Pig, let me tell you this, we can only finish this pot of food today. If we don't finish it, I'm afraid we'll have to leave it here."
"What's wrong? Is this a black shop?" Old Zhu stared.
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded affirmatively: "Dark! Darker than the sky outside!"
Hearing this, the old pig scanned the hall vigilantly, and then touched the spoon beside the pot with his right hand.
When Zhang Xiaoqiang saw this scene, he quickly stood up and held down Old Zhu's wrist: "Brother Zhu! What are you going to do!"
Good guy! Is this guy planning to use a spoon as a rake and destroy the store
Unexpectedly, the old pig raised his hand to open the palm of Zhang Xiaoqiang's tongs and retorted: "What else can I do? Eat it. As long as we eat this thing clean, we will be fine!"
After saying this, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw the old pig holding a spoon and putting his feet on a chair, filling his mouth with a mouthful of food in the classic shape of a mountain sculpture.
In order to avoid attracting too much attention, Zhang Xiaoqiang tugged at Lao Zhu's large T-shirt: "Brother Zhu, sit down, sit down and eat."
The old pig shook his head and said, "The man just told me to eat standing up, so we'd better do as he said, lest he default on the bill later."
"Ah?" Zhang Xiaoqiang's head suddenly short-circuited.
Did someone just ask you to eat standing up
At this time, I heard the old man say: "Yes! The waiter just asked him to dip it, and the old pig said "dip" and "station" were wrong."
Speechless!
Ten minutes later, Zhang Xiaoqiang slumped on the stool with his belly in his arms. Looking at the entire audience, almost every table looked like he was in agony.
The clerks all beamed with joy, needless to say they made a lot of money today.
After a short while, a pleasant voice came from the amplifier speaker in the hall: "In order to thank all distinguished guests for their review, our store temporarily launches a one-pot, get-one-pot promotion. Customers who finish two pots in our store today will immediately receive a free meal. Roll one, eat more and get more. Finally, I wish everyone a happy meal."
"Damn! What a joy! I'm going to die after eating this pot."
"Ouch, I originally planned to get free hot pot, but now it's gone. Not to mention that it's no use 588. I'll probably have to go to the hospital."
"Who says it's not the case? I was cheated today."
…
The whole place was filled with wailing, and a middle-aged man with a big belly at the reception desk was counting the money with joy.
Needless to say, he should be the owner of this store.
However, at this moment, just a minute after the speaker finished broadcasting the latest event, a clear male voice suddenly burst out in the noisy hall: "Table 38! Another pot!" Please enter the text
