Kevin almost covered his nose when entering this place.
I thought: “Is the food here edible?”
However, Li Kang and the other four didn't think there was anything wrong.
The boss just doesn't have enough awareness of kitchen waste disposal.
It is a common phenomenon that when you eat in such places, you have to give up any idea of cleanliness and hygiene.
As long as it tastes good, that's fine.
"Just smelling this makes me want to eat a bite of Chongqing hotpot."
Ye Yuqing was drooling with greed. The ability of Hunan girls to eat spicy food can at least rank among the top three in the country.
The other two should be from Sichuan and Guizhou.
At this time, Sichuan and Chongqing had not yet separated and were considered as one.
"Yuqing, you seem to like spicy food very much?" Chen Xu asked curiously. Although he also liked the aroma, the spicy and peppery taste was almost choking.
"Of course, Hunanese people love spicy food. You may not know that when I first came to study at SCNU, I brought chili peppers from home to eat with my meals. I just couldn't get used to the taste of Shanghai food."
Normally, the girl would go out to cook for herself when she had time.
Fortunately, there are these restaurants opened by outsiders in Shanghai, otherwise the girl really wouldn’t be able to survive in Shanghai.
Look how greedy the little girl is!
As soon as I entered the door, I asked the boss to bring me a pot of hot pot base.
When eating hotpot, she and Li Kang both particularly like boiled beef and tripe.
"Would you like some of our specialty, kidney slices?"
The boss is a native Sichuanese and Chongqing native, and you can tell from his accent.
Her belly is round, like she is ten months pregnant.
"Kidney? Give me some."
"Kevin, order whatever you want to eat."
Kevin entered the hot pot restaurant and kept covering his nose.
Hong Kong people can't smell or eat anything particularly spicy.
Their ability to tolerate spicy food is about the same as that of Cantonese people.
This is also the reason why Li Kang doesn't mind letting him come along.
Anyway, this guy will take the initiative to make a fool of himself.
If you want to come, then let you come along.
Looking at the boiling red oil pot in front of me, there are fiery red peppers floating on it, and the Sichuan peppercorns that are also dyed red by the red oil soup.
He even wondered if he would die from the spiciness if he took a bite.
"Here it is, the fresh beef, kidney, and tripe you ordered."
Huang Guangren ordered some dried tofu and bean curd skin.
"Guangren, you should show some promise. Senior brother is treating us, why are you ordering all vegetarian dishes?"
Huang Guangren said with a grunt, "Brother, I have liked eating soy products since I was a child, and I am not very interested in other things. I will just eat a little of what you ordered."
What Liu Yunwei and Chen Xu ordered was similar to what Li Kang ordered.
"Brother Kevin, why don't you order?"
“I don’t know what to eat, can you recommend something?”
"Then have two of each. This is your first time in Shanghai, so you must try all the food from the mainland. In Shanghai, you can eat food from almost all over the country. What we are eating today is called hot pot, which is available in both the north and the south. Just put the food in the pot and blanch it for one minute before you can eat it."
Li Kang taught him how to eat it and demonstrated it to him personally.
Ye Yuqing next to her had already put the whole plate of beef into the pot.
After blanching for thirty seconds, it is almost cooked, then dip it in the sauce you prepared.
"good to eat!"
Seeing Ye Yuqing eating so happily, Kevin also became eager to try how it tasted.
"I just poured out a plate, you can pick up a piece and try." Ye Yuqing said proactively.
After all, Kevin was a pretty nice guy, polite, and even gave them small gifts.
Kevin was still a little unfamiliar with using chopsticks, and was a little unsteady when picking up the meat.
“Don’t you Hong Kong people use chopsticks when eating?”
"Of course I can, but I've been used to eating Western food since I was a child, and I seldom use chopsticks." The moment the food entered his mouth, a pungent smell rushed into his brain.
Ahem~!
The spiciness made me cry.
With so many people watching, Kevin, who is a ruthless man, actually ate it.
His face is as red as a monkey's butt.
Everyone saw that he was forcing himself and started laughing.
"If you can't finish it, don't force yourself to eat it. Ask the boss to make a pot of non-spicy food."
Li Kang helped him smell it and said, "Boss, do you have a non-spicy clear soup hot pot?"
"Hey! How can Chongqing hotpot not be spicy? Do you think it's spicy? Do you have soy milk? I brought it from my hometown. You can't buy it anywhere else."
The boss must be talking about Wei Yi soy milk. Even some of the dried tofu for hot pot are purchased from the Chongqing factory.
"Give him a bottle then."
After Li Kang finished speaking, the pager hanging on his waist rang.
It was a strange phone number.
"Boss, do you have a phone? Let me make a call."
"Yes, it's at the checkout counter. Come over."
The boss took him to the front desk.
Li Kang called the number above.
"Hello? What's the matter?"
The voice on the other end was a pleasant female voice. "Hello, is this Mr. Li Kang? I'm from Shanghai Foreign Trade Group Corporation. Are you free this Sunday?"
"What did you say? Are you from Shanghai Foreign Trade Group Corporation? Is the chairman Li Jianhua?"
“Yes, you also know our company.”
"Has your chairman returned from his outing?"
The secretary on the other end of the line thought, "How do you know our chairman is out?"
The chairman is such a big figure, it is normal for him to be known when he goes out. Maybe this gentleman even knows the chairman.
"The chairman will be back this Sunday to attend the international business exchange conference held by the government. Will you be free to come and do the simultaneous interpretation work?"
"Who introduced me to you?"
"It's Professor Lin from Huazhong Normal University. She recommended you. Do you have time that day? We will provide you with generous compensation. The hourly wage is 1,500 yuan."
The price of fifteen hundred is not low.
Li Kang thought about it and decided to accept the call and meet his cheap dad at the same time.
"Okay, I'll go. But my name is not Li Kang, so my name should be Mu Zikang on my work badge."
"Mu (three drops of water), Zi (Zi) means healthy (Kang). Did you hear that?"
"Okay, I've taken note of your name. Please be sure to arrive on time."
After the call ended, Li Kang exhaled, "I finally caught you, Li Jianhua."
Not long after Li Kang hung up the phone, he returned to his seat and was about to take a bite of the beef that Ye Yuqing had cooked.
Chen Xu's pager also started ringing. He ran to make a call.
"Who called just now?"
Ye Yuqing asked casually, but she didn't stop talking.
"It was a call from a Shanghai foreign trade company, inviting me to help them with translation."
Huang Guangren and Liu Yunwei were very envious when they heard it.
He looks as young as them, but has one order after another.
What’s even more infuriating is that they earn more.
What you earn in one time is equivalent to what others earn in several months.
When Ye Yuqing heard that it was from a foreign trade company, she accidentally choked herself.
"Are you talking about the foreign trade company whose chairman is Li Jianhua?" Ye Yuqing couldn't believe it and her eyes widened.
