Chapter 485: An Excellent Hot Pot Restaurant

It's around 7pm.

Thousands of lights illuminate the night.

A group of three walked along the road.

Lu You walked in front with his hands in his pockets, without saying a word, while Zhang Zhichuang and Bi Yangde walked behind with their arms around each other, talking loudly.

Zhang Zhichuang moved closer to Bi Yangde and said seriously, "I personally think that Aunt Jiahui is more terrifying. She has a human form but not a human appearance. Especially her face. Her eyes are hollow and her mouth is wide open with blood at the corners. It gave me PTSD."

Bi Yangde held a different opinion and said, "I think the spider in the second part is more terrifying. You're solving puzzles and unlocking locks, and it suddenly jumps on your face without any warning. It's so disgusting!"

"Hey! The spider monster's shape is very different from that of humans. It will only scare people if it suddenly jumps on their face. As long as you are mentally prepared, it will be nothing!" Zhang Zhichuang said disdainfully.

Bi Yangde nodded slightly in agreement and said, "That's true. This jump scare method is effective, but it's also really low-level."

"It's mainly because Aunt Jiahui has such a great figure and she wears a blue battle suit. If she didn't have a ghost face, I would have shot her twice."

"I'll accompany you."

The corners of Lu You's mouth twitched.

These two are invincible! They can even take down a female ghost.

Lu You led the two into a hot pot restaurant.

The store is spacious and decorated in traditional Chinese style, with dark wooden tables and chairs, and dark gold hollow carved screens separating the seats.

The ceiling is made of horizontal and vertical wooden beams. A yellow lantern is hung in the middle of each beam. The lantern covers are inscribed with four-character idioms that are full of charm, and each one is different.

What you hear is noisy conversation and boiling water; what you see is the full house of diners and waiters coming and going. It is very lively.

The most eye-catching ones are the waitresses wearing red embroidered cheongsams, who look like peonies.

Her hair was in a dignified bun, and she was smiling and talking. As she turned her head with each step, her skirt fluttered, and the white snow appeared and disappeared at the slit of her dress.

Bi Yangde's eyes immediately widened and he couldn't stop looking around.

This was the first time he had seen such a grand scene.

"Oh my god! Brother Lu!" Zhang Zhichuang grabbed Lu You's shoulder with one hand, his expression undisguisedly excited, "From this second on, you are my half-brother! No matter if it means climbing a mountain of swords or diving into a sea of ​​fire, as long as you have a command, I will do it for you!"

"Good things, share with everyone, you're welcome."

In fact, this was Lu You’s first time at this hot pot restaurant.

Previously, Lu You went to Dianping.com to find a place to invite everyone for a meal and accidentally saw this hot pot restaurant. Not only has it been open for a long time, but it also has received rave reviews. 90% of the reviews praised its good taste and even better service.

Now that he was there in person, Lu You suddenly understood that a hot pot restaurant that can satisfy both the taste buds and the eyes is destined to last long and have a prosperous business.

The three of them stood in front of the lobby for a long time before a waitress came up to them in a hurry, folded her hands on her belly, and bowed slightly to them.

"I'm very sorry, we are so busy today! We don't have enough staff, and we have kept you waiting for so long!"

Her apologetic words and gentle tone were like a spring breeze on your face. Coupled with her exquisite makeup and curvy figure, any resentment was blown away.

"It's okay. It's peak dining time. I understand." Lu You waved his hand, signaling her not to worry.

The waitress secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She couldn't help but be nervous. If a dissatisfied customer complained to the manager, her bonus would be deducted. If she complained more than three times, her bonus for the month would be gone.

The bonus is her most sensitive spot and she doesn’t allow anyone to touch it!

Lu You looked around and found that almost all the tables within his field of vision were occupied. "It seems like there are no empty seats here. Do we need to queue?"

"No, we still have room on the second floor..."

The waitress, feeling relieved, spoke as she looked at the appearance of Lu You and the other two.

It wouldn't matter if she didn't look at her, but once she did, she got stuck.

Oh my god! What a handsome little brother!

Two at a time!

As for Zhang Zhichuang who was standing aside, she subconsciously ignored him.

It's mediocre and not worth noting.

"Please take us to the second floor!" Lu You said.

"Okay, this way please." The waitress came back to her senses, gestured with her right hand, and the smile on her face became more genuine.

The four of them walked through the first floor lobby and walked up the wooden stairs leading to the second floor.

There was a creaking sound.

The waitress's eyes moved back and forth between Lu You and Bi Yangde, and she asked in a friendly tone, "Sir, how many people are dining with you?"

Lu You observed the environment in the store and didn't notice anyone looking at him. He casually replied, "It's just the three of us, no one else."

"We still have a vacant box. Do you need me to take you there?"

"No, just sit in the lobby."

When you go out to eat hotpot, the purpose is to have fun, not to discuss business, so there is no need to sit in a private room.

Led by the waitress, the four of them came to a seat by the window.

There are two benches and a square table with four sets of tableware neatly placed on it.

Through the window, you can clearly see the crowds of people and the busy streets outside.

"Are you satisfied with this seat?" the waitress asked softly.

Lu You was just about to ask Zhang Zhichuang and Bi Yangde for their opinions, but when he turned around, he saw that the two had already sat down.

"Just sit here!"

"I'll get the menu. Please wait a moment." The waitress took away the extra tableware and bowed before leaving.

Lu You sat opposite the two of them, occupying one side alone, then took out his cell phone, took two photos of the store and sent them to Tang Wan.

【Husband: Let’s have hot pot tonight. 】

Lu You pinched his chin and thought, isn't it too monotonous to just send text? So he attached a cat emoticon that he stole from Tang Wan and waited quietly for a reply.

Bi Yangde sat inside, looking through the window at the people passing by outside, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhang Zhichuang, on the contrary, held his cheek with one hand, looked in a certain direction with a dazed look, and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth looked particularly vulgar.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this cheongsam is so white!"

Lu You glanced in the direction Zhang Zhichuang was looking.

It was the waitress who had served them earlier. She was talking to another waitress, apparently handing over work.

"Don't keep staring at them, or you'll be caught by the boxer and posted online. They'll accuse you of being a male condensate and ask someone to break your box. You'll be in trouble then." Lu You reminded.

"Hiss! That makes sense!" Zhang Zhichuang quickly retracted his gaze and sat up straight, but out of his instinct to pursue beautiful things, he would glance over there from time to time.

Lu You couldn't hold it back and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a long leg in a cheongsam? Any video that's close to the truth on the Internet will show more than this. Is there any need to watch it secretly like a thief?"

Zhang Zhichuang's expression became serious, and he said seriously: "Brother Lu, you don't understand this. Watching it online through the screen and seeing it in person are two completely different feelings. Moreover, the long legs in the borderline video have all been processed later. They are beautiful, but they have lost their real texture. They are amazing at first glance, but tasteless when you taste them carefully."

"Good guy, you speak in an orderly manner. Have you watched a lot of borderline videos?"

"Not bad!" Zhang Zhichuang puffed out his chest and said proudly, "I have a small account on Bilibili that I've maintained for a long time. The homepage recommendations, video collections, and follow lists are all related to borderline content. If you want it, Brother Lu, I can lend it to you."

"Thank you. I appreciate your kindness."

Lu You politely refused. With Tang Wan, a versatile clothes hanger with a girlfriend whose eroticism index was almost maxed out, he could have fun however he wanted. Why would he need to watch those borderline videos of people who distort space? He was giving up watermelons for sesame seeds, wasn't he?

At this time, Bi Yangde, who had been looking at the cultural scenery outside the window without saying a word, interrupted.

"Hemorrhoids, you have a girlfriend but you still keep a secondary account. Aren't you afraid that Qin Xiyue will find out?"

"What are you afraid of! I only use my secondary account for twenty minutes before going to bed every day, and then exit it without leaving any trace. How can Xiyue find out? Even if she is really discovered, the worst that can happen is that I kneel down and kowtow to her and admit my mistake." Zhang Zhichuang said nonchalantly.

"You're really amazing!" Bi Yangde admired Zhang Zhichuang's shamelessness from the bottom of his heart.

About two or three minutes passed.

The waitress who had left earlier came back with a kettle in one hand and a tablet and menu in the other.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." The waitress put the kettle on the table, handed the menu to Lu You, held the tablet in her hand, and smiled, "What would you three like to eat?"

Lu You flipped through the menu page by page and asked, "Do you have any good recommendations?"

"My suggestion is to order a set meal for three people, which includes fresh food, vegetables, snacks, desserts, and drinks. The price is also more favorable than ordering a la carte."

Lu You turned the menu to the set menu page. He ignored the prices and looked at the dishes first.

The first row is the soup base, with only three options: clear soup, full spicy and tangy.

The second row is the meat dishes, a total of ten kinds, including whole cuts of beef and mutton, tripe, duck intestines, shrimp paste, etc.

After the meat dishes, there are vegetarian dishes, including frozen tofu, fresh bean curd sticks, mixed mushrooms, lettuce, and cabbage, a total of five items.

Finally, there were two snacks, crispy pork and sesame steamed buns, and a bowl of ice jelly for each person.

Looking at the styles, they are varied, but I don’t know how much they weigh.

"Give me a set meal for three people, with two servings of tripe and a simmered soup base."

The waitress skillfully used the tablet to place the order and asked, "Anything else?"

Lu You looked at Bi Yangde who was diagonally opposite him.

"You're the boss, I listen to you."

Lu You looked at Zhang Zhichuang who was standing opposite him.

"Me too."

Lu You closed the menu, pushed it to the empty seat beside him, and replied, "Eat it first, it's not needed for now."

"Okay, call me if you need anything." The waitress bowed again and retreated.

Lu You took the kettle, poured himself a glass of water, and glanced at his phone.

no reply.

I guess Tang Wan is busy and has no time to reply to the message.

Lu You didn't think much about it and put the phone in his pocket.
