Chapter 438: Full house

Xu Tonglin is the fastest, maybe because he has been single for a long time?

He picked up a plate of lamb rolls, put them all into the red soup pot with chopsticks, and said, "Lamb must be spicy, not spicy, it tastes bad!"

Xu Tongdao and Xi Dongyang didn't hesitate. They used chopsticks to pick up the dishes and put them in a red soup pot or a white soup pot. Ge Lianghua and Xu Tonglin were similar.

During the period, Xu Tongdao greeted Li Xiaoshan to sit and eat together.

Li Xiaoshan just started to decline, and Xu Tongdao insisted that he sit down, and he also obeyed.

Hot dishes need to be blanched for a while before they can be eaten, and a table of people will sit there drinking and chatting.

Xu Tonglin was the first to eat.

He looked a little impatient, took a slice of ham, dipped it in the dipping sauce in front of him, and smiled and said to everyone: "You can eat raw ham, and it should be fine now."

There is nothing wrong with this.

Everyone looked at him with a smile.

Xu Tonglin blew the ham on the chopsticks, then put it in his mouth carefully, took a bite, chewed a few times, and his eyes brightened.

A thumbs up to Li Xiaoshan, "Brother Li, it's delicious! This tastes so good, well, I haven't eaten such a delicious hot pot, really! It's better than I have eaten in this county a few times before. The hot pot tastes much better! You can try it! The ham sausage can be eaten, really!"

Li Xiaoshan smiled and said thank you in a low voice.

Under Xu Tonglin's praise and greetings, Xu Tongdao and others also held chopsticks to taste.

Ge Lianghua and Xi Dongyang successively exclaimed.

Every time, Li Xiaoshan expressed his gratitude.

But Li Xiaoshan's gaze was mainly on Xu Tongdao.

Knowing Xu Tongdao for more than a month, he has long known that Xu Tongdao’s cooking skills are good, and he also knows well about cooking. In the process of developing new hot pot bases, dips and spicy oils, Xu Tongdao often comes to see his research and development. Progress can always be asked on the idea.

Moreover, I can often taste some of the ingredients in his newly developed hot pot base.

In this regard, Li Xiaoshan was initially surprised, and slowly got used to it.

But because of this, he knew that Xu Tongdao's tongue was very good.

Not easy to fool.

With the hot pot bottoms, dipping sauces and spicy oil that he has researched for more than a month, he is more than 90% sure that he can conquer others.

But can Xu Tongdao be conquered? Recognized by Xu Tongdao?

The confidence in his heart is not so full.

After chewing and chewing a piece of ham, Xu Tongdao squinted his eyes and savored carefully. After a while, he swallowed the ham in his mouth and looked at Li Xiaoshan who had been looking at him.

At this time, Xu Tonglin, Ge Lianghua, and Xi Dongyang also stopped their chopsticks and looked at him curiously.

In the officialdom, there is a saying that is very incisive.

——The leader says you can do it, you can do it, or you can’t do it; the leader says you can’t do it, you can’t do it, and you can’t do it.

In fact, it is the same in business most of the time.

Whoever has the right to decide will define the outcome of your work.

Xu Tongdao looked at Li Xiaoshan, who looked a little nervous, smiled slightly, and nodded slightly, "Not bad! That's okay, the red soup will taste like this! I will try the white soup again."

Li Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief.

The smile on his face is much brighter, and Xu Tonglin and others are also happy.

Xu Tonglin: "That's right! Such a delicious taste, if it still doesn't work, it would be too exaggerated!"

Ge Lianghua: "This taste is indeed okay. Anyway, I can't fault it."

Xi Dongyang: "During this period of time, Li Chu, how could the taste that he studied carefully?"

...

Xu Tongdao picked up a hot and soft rice crust from the white soup pot. This time he did not dip the dipping sauce, and took a bite, only to be conquered by the thick umami flavor in the soup on the pot.

It's not the kind of low-grade umami flavor tuned by MSG.

But the umami taste of bone broth.

"Okay! The white soup tastes fine too, so set it down! No need to change it."

The hot pot taste made by Li Xiaoshan has reached its peak, is there no way to change it?

Not really!

Not so exaggerated.

If you really want to pick something wrong, Xu Tongdao thinks about it, maybe he can pick a few points.

However, he felt that it was unnecessary.

Many delicacies have a certain level of taste. For ordinary people, they are very satisfied. Even if compared with other hot pot restaurants, they have their own characteristics at best. It is really better than others. Wise.

Original time and space, how does the Haidilao hot pot taste in Xu Tongdao's memory?

Does it have the best taste of all hot pot restaurants in the industry?

Haidilao, Xu Tongdao also went to eat, he didn't think the taste of Haidilao was so outstanding.

But if he said it was not delicious, he couldn't say that kind of ignorant words.

In his opinion, Haidilao's market value can be so high, so successful in operation, and taste is not the biggest factor for Haidilao's success.

Whether a hot pot restaurant can achieve popularity depends on other aspects of operation.

Such as publicity, such as services, such as environment, and so on.

Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Xu Tongdao raised the wine glass in front of him and smiled to Li Xiaoshan.

"Chu Li, I have been working hard these days! Come! I'll toast you a cup."

Under the smiling gaze of Xu Tonglin, Ge Lianghua and Xi Dongyang, Li Xiaoshan flushed a little, but his expression was very excited. He immediately picked up his wine glass and touched Xu Tongdao.

"Mr. Xu, you are too polite! You pay me a salary, these are my jobs, all I should do."

With that said, both of them drank a toast of Chinese wine.

After that, the atmosphere on the table warmed up, and everyone chatted while eating.

Ge Lianghua told Li Xiaoshan the good news-their hot pot restaurant is about to be renovated.

Li Xiaoshan was surprised and very happy when he heard it.

According to the agreement he signed with Xu Tongdao before, his salary is also linked to the performance of the hot pot restaurant.

Mainly, dividends are distributed from each month's net profit.

Therefore, he has been hoping that Xu Tongdao’s hot pot restaurant will be renovated as soon as possible and open to business as soon as possible ~ lightnovelpub.net~ because only the hot pot restaurant is officially open, he may get the monthly dividend, otherwise When Xu Tongdao’s hot pot restaurant does not open for a day, Li Xiaoshan can only get a day’s basic salary.

Basic salary, he can't die from starvation.

But it is impossible for him to make a fortune.

"Mr. Xu, when can I go to the city?"

Li Xiaoshan asked Xu Tongdao a glass of wine expectantly.

Xu Tongdao thought for a while and said, "Wait another week! A week later, let’s try the hot pot you made again. If the taste you make by that time is no different from today, it proves that you can perform stably. At that time, you will pack your luggage and come back to the city with us. Do you think it's okay?"

Li Xiaoshan was a little surprised, and try the taste again?

The sentence "Prove that you can perform steadily" made him understand what Xu Tongdao meant and couldn't refute it.

He smiled and nodded, "Okay! Okay! Mr. Xu, I will listen to your arrangements."
