Chapter 337
The next day was Monday, and Lu Ze was in high school mathematics class again in the morning. After class, he invited his roommates to have lunch.
It’s not that he burns too much money, but that he has something to ask for.
Because he didn't plan to attend the afternoon class, he wanted to skip the class and get his cell phone first. So he still had to ask Fang Hongjun and the others for help when dealing with the name call.
After lunch, he went back to the dormitory to change his clothes. Lu Ze took a taxi out and headed straight to Dixintong on the other side of Huaihai Road.
On the way, looking at the domestic Xia Xin mobile phone he was using, Lu Ze couldn't help but shake his head, and finally he could change it to a decent one.
It was not that I had no money to exchange it before, but that I could not buy a mobile phone that he could see even if I had money on the market. Even Lu Ze could barely accept the Nokia 3210 he went to pick up today.
I was used to smartphones in my previous life, but now I can use these old antiques that can only make phone calls and text messages. How can he still like them?
When I arrived at Dixintong, I swiped my card to pay the final payment, took my phone, and finished it in one go.
One black and the other red, the Nokia 3210, which is a big circle smaller than the domestic new summer mobile phone, can be considered a barely dodgy use.
Holding the mobile phone of a couple with Yiyi, Lu Ze felt much more relaxed.
When she becomes addicted to texting, she probably won’t ask herself to call her every day. Lu Ze doesn’t hate calling her, mainly because she is really a bit overwhelmed by calling her every day.
The problem now is that because it was Su Jinyi's first time in love, he was still in a passionate period and wanted to get tired of being together every day.
But Lu Ze had already passed this stage in his previous life. As an old fritter, his nuisance to little boys and girls has long lost his original enthusiasm.
This kind of problem will inevitably arise when people at different stages fall in love. One complains is too cold, and the other dislikes is too fucked.
Therefore, Lu Ze cannot be too impatient, as that would be unfair to Su Jinyi. Since he chose this girl himself, just spoil her more.
With his cell phone, Lu Ze took a taxi to Meiluo City. Before Yiyi came, he would make arrangements in advance.
When he arrived at the hot pot restaurant, the employees were conducting the final training under the supervision of the store manager.
Although some employees do not know Lu Ze, the store manager Cui Xiaoying understands that this young man looks like a student is the big boss of a hot pot restaurant.
She quickly ordered the employees to practice by themselves and rushed forward to receive: "Hello, Mr. Lu! Are there any arrangements?"
"It's okay, I just come and see how you are preparing.
Oh, by the way, my friends and I have dinner here tonight. Just find a quiet corner to try your training results." Lu Ze replied with a smile.
The boss was going to have dinner here, but Cui Xiaoying didn't dare to neglect: "Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll make arrangements now." As she said that, she walked over and arranged the kitchen to prepare in advance.
In her opinion, this may be a test of her work ability by the boss, so she gave her extra strict instructions.
Not only did the kitchen watch the operation personally, but two best-looking waiters were also arranged to serve the big boss later.
Looking at the time, Lu Ze ran to the door and waited at about 5 o'clock.
Because Su Jinyi, this girl, was impatient, would definitely come here earlier. As expected, she saw her not far away after waiting a few minutes.
"Happy birthday, Lu Ze!" As soon as Su Jin walked up to him, he congratulated him excitedly, while handing over a small paper bag he was carrying.
Lu Ze was slightly stunned, looked at the cake box on her hand, and came to his senses: "Haha, I forgot that today is my birthday."
I have been too busy recently, and my parents are probably busy with the bun shop business in their hometown. This time I didn’t care about this for the first time.
My family doesn’t care much about birthdays, and it’s normal for Lu Ze to forget about it for a while.
"I remember it clearly. This is a birthday gift for you, hehe." Su Jinyi raised the small paper bag in his hand again and said proudly.
Lu Ze took the paper bag and asked, "What is inside?"
"I won't tell you first. When you eat cakes and candles later, you can take apart and see." Su Jinyi kept it a secret, trying to get some sense of ceremony.
Lu Ze smiled and replied, "Okay, let's go in first, I've made all arrangements."
As he said that, he took the cake from her hand, took Su Jinyi's little hand naturally, and walked towards the store.
With Lu Ze holding her little hand, Su Jinyi blushed again with shyness. She had just had a first love affair, but she was not used to the intimacy between couples.
He turned his head and looked at Lu Ze. Seeing his calm face, he didn't know why it was so natural.
After the two of them sat down, the manager immediately arranged for the waiter to serve the dishes. The chef had already prepared it and served the dishes in two or three minutes.
There were a lot of beef and mutton, fresh tripe, duck blood, peeing beef balls, Zhixin tribute balls, mushroom orphan platters, bean products platters, vegetable platters, etc., and the manager arranged a serving of all the dishes in the store.
The boss tried the dishes himself, so how could they dare to hide it?
"Wow, so many dishes? We can't finish it." Su Jin's eyes were bright and he couldn't help but sigh.
Every time I eat with Lu Ze, it seems that it is too much. She thinks this kind of food waste behavior is not good.
So Lu Ze waved to the store manager, and after the other party came over, he ordered: "We will definitely not finish this portion. Apart from beef and mutton, take the other dishes back and reduce the portion by half, don't waste food."
"Mr. Lu, do you want to give you another serving of beef and mutton?" the store manager Cui Xiaoying asked tentatively.
The store manager is so good at doing things, Lu Ze laughed and said, "Haha, this one can be there."
After a while, the dishes were re-arranged, but a large portion of beef and mutton were added, and eating these would be enough to be full.
[Hi Xiao Lamb] The hot pot restaurant focuses on fresh beef and mutton from the grassland, so we must add more today. Not only to taste the quality of the ingredients, but also to make Su Jin eat enough.
"Lu Ze, this beef and mutton look so attractive, I can't wait to eat it." Su Jin stared at him intently, his saliva was almost overwhelmed.
Lu Ze hurriedly comforted and said, "Don't be anxious, this induction cooker heats up very quickly and can be eaten in a while."
Yes, the hot pot restaurant uses induction cooker heating as soon as it comes. One is for safety, and the other is for high table turnover rate.
Needless to mention safety, there are many hot pot restaurants that cause accidents with open flame heating every year, and Lu Ze does not want such accidents to occur in his own store; and the induction cooker heats quickly, customers will naturally eat quickly, and the table turnover rate will increase accordingly.
So although the cost of induction cookers is relatively high at this time, Lu Ze still found a manufacturer to purchase a batch of commercial induction cookers.
In the past few years, induction cookers were only in the waiting and watching stage in my country. However, since 1999, induction cookers entered a period of rapid development.
Not only have many big-name home appliance manufacturers entered this field, but some small start-up factories have also begun to develop and produce. Lu Ze found a reliable small home appliance factory and specially customized a batch of goods.
Commercial induction cookers have greater power and heat faster, and the water turns on within a few minutes.
[Hi Xiao Lamb] I learned the model of Xiao Fei Sheep, and I also followed the new way of eating "not dipped in small ingredients to squid mutton".
There are only two types of pot bottoms, spicy and clear soup, and customers can also choose a double pot. This not only saves operating costs but also reduces the cost of ingredients.
The big boss Lu Ze didn't need to explain when he tried the dishes. The store manager automatically put the bottom of the mandarin duck pot.
As soon as Su Jin picked up a quick mutton, he rinsed it into the spicy soup base.
The induction cooker has great firepower. You can eat mutton rolls like this for ten or eight seconds. Unlike freshly cut mutton slices, the mutton will take longer.
Most of the affordable hotpot restaurants in these days use frozen meat rolls. The cost of freshly cut beef and mutton slices is too high. With the current economic strength of the people, most people cannot afford it.
In addition to some old hot pot restaurants such as Rudong Laishun, there are only Chaoshan hot pot or Hong Kong-style side stoves, which adopt the model of freshly cut beef and mutton.
Under Lu Ze's reminder, Su Jin stuffed the cooked mutton into his mouth in one bite, and the satisfaction was so satisfying.
Although the mutton has a mutton smell, the mutton from the prairie naturally has a slightly light milky aroma. After seasoning with the soup base, it will become a delicious food on earth after a few seconds.
"Lu Ze, this mutton is delicious, but it's a little bit not spicy enough." Su Jin felt a little regretful when he was satisfied.
Lu Ze smiled and said, "This is a modified soup base. In order to take care of the taste of most people, it must not be made too spicy."
"Okay, but it's still delicious!" As he said that, he picked up a big quick to wash it up in a hurry, and then rushed to his mouth. Su Jin was so beautiful that his eyes turned into two crescent moons after eating.
Lu Ze hurriedly advised: "Eat slowly, no one will snatch it from you."
With the high efficiency of commercial induction cookers, a hot pot meal was eaten quickly, and the two of them quickly became full.
"Lu Ze, I'm so full that I can't even eat the cake." Su Jinyi couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Ze liked to see her eating very much, and felt relieved. He paused and said, "Then stop eating now, I will take it back to eat tonight."
"No, today you have to light candles, eat cakes, eat a little less." Su Jinyi was very persistent in the sense of ceremony.
As he said that, he took out the cake and lit the candle. Although the lights were still on in the store, it did not prevent Su Jin from forcing Lu Ze to make a wish.
Lu Ze had to do it obediently, and he made several wishes in a serious way.
One of them is that there is no Shura field in this life.
