Tiger Police

Chapter 192 Hot Pot Restaurant

"It's a bit faster, but it's following the normal procedure." Ran Hongjun said, "If it's someone else, they won't be able to get this training spot at all. You are different. You have won awards for your meritorious service many times, and you are also a first-class winner .Perform missions outside all year round, and work hard. If even an excellent policeman like you can't get party training, who is qualified?"

This makes people feel comfortable.Hu Pingtao was not hypocritical: "Thank you Ranting."

……

An hour later, the car drove into Jinyuan Peninsula. Hu Pingtao got out of the car with his luggage, greeted the driver, turned around and walked towards his residence.

Standing in front of the closed door, he rang the bell.

A lazy voice came from the speaker installed on the top of the outer wall: "Who... ah?"

When he came out of the airport, he called his sister Hu Biyuan, on the one hand to report that he was safe, and on the other hand to confirm where his wife was, so as not to miss her.

I am not at home all the year round, Su Xiaolin often lives at home and her mother's home, and often goes to Hu Biyuan's place to eat, live and play together.Hu Pingtao got the exact answer from Hu Biyuan on the phone, knowing that his wife was at home today, so he wanted to tease him... He leaned close to the microphone on the wall and said in a deep and hoarse voice: "Hello, I am the real estate manager. , check the water meter."

Soon, the door opened from the inside.

Su Xiaolin was wearing a set of loose and large home clothes, cotton slippers, disheveled hair, holding a gnawed apple in her left hand, still chewing in her mouth, with a loose appearance at home.

At this moment, she has nothing to do with the word "beautiful".She didn't have any makeup on, and she didn't even feel like she had washed her face. There was a weird sour smell all over her body.

Hu Pingtao was taken aback: Nima, is this the wife I've been thinking about day and night?
Seeing Hu Pingtao standing in front of her, Su Xiaolin was stunned.

With a loose hand, the half-eaten apple slipped to the ground.

Hu Pingtao frowned, then let go, and said with a half-smile: "Beauty, I'm not at home, you just live like this?"

Su Xiaolin seemed to wake up from a dream, opened her mouth, cheered loudly, jumped like a monkey, and jumped directly onto Hu Pingtao.Holding his neck tightly with both hands, curling up his feet and clasping his legs, he kissed him forcefully regardless.

He asked with great difficulty: "...um...have you... brushed your teeth yet?"

It took several minutes before she let go, as if she suddenly remembered something, slipped off Hu Pingtao's body, grabbed his hand in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "I won't make a call when I come back. , you want to scare me to death?"

Watching her bend down to pick up her luggage, Hu Pingtao followed into the room: "I can't see you like this when I make a phone call... Not to mention, you are so weird! Wait, I will take a photo for you. To commemorate, show it to my son and grandson in the future, and let them know what mother and grandma look like!"

"you dare!"

Su Xiaolin was a little annoyed, so she simply put her luggage in the living room, turned around and glared at Hu Pingtao who was taking pictures of herself with her mobile phone: "You wait...you wait for me!"

After finishing speaking, she didn't explain, turned around and walked towards the stairs at a very fast speed, and trotted into the bedroom.

"Wife, I'm just joking, don't run away!" Hu Pingtao raised his phone and called her loudly with a smile, but there was no response.

Deliberately wanting to go to the bedroom to find a wife to be gentle with, but thought that the driver Xiao Zhang was still waiting in the parking lot.He hurried into the study, took out the party application form that had already been filled out from the drawer, went out, and went outside.

After finishing all this, when I returned home, I just opened the suitcase and packed my belongings when I saw Su Xiaolin coming down the stairs.

She simply washed up, changed a set of clothes, and put on makeup.

"How about it, it's much better now than before! Dangdangdang, make your debut!"

She laughed and rushed over, hugging Hu Pingtao's arm tightly: "I won't cook today. To celebrate your king's return, let's go out to eat."

Looking at her beautiful face, Hu Pingtao also felt his heart flutter.He bent down, directly hugged Su Xiaolin, and walked to the bedroom on the second floor.

"Okay! Go out and eat. But before that, I will eat you as a monk!"

"Monsters! There are monsters that eat people here, help!"

"Shout! No one will come to save you even if you yell out your throat!"

"Hmph! Do you think I'm afraid of you? Dead ghost, you can count the days you've been at home all year round. It's been eight lifetimes of blood mold to marry you. To tell you the truth, if you don't feed me today, you will die at night." Don't even think about going into the bedroom, sleeping alone on the sofa in the living room... No, it should be squatting on the toilet."

"I'm so scared! Suck me dry if you can."

"Come on!"

……

The business model of the commercial plaza is imported from abroad.Go shopping and find a place to rest when you are tired. You can take a nap in coffee shops and bookstores. When you are hungry, there are various restaurants next to it.This kind of place is destined to be liked by women, and it is also the best place to empty a man's wallet quickly.

"Yayale" is a hot pot restaurant.The store name signboard is two deformed duck patterns, which together form a variant Chinese character "Ya Ya".The overall decoration is simple and refreshing.

Hu Pingtao would not come to this kind of place alone.If it wasn't for Su Xiaolin leading the way, he wouldn't be able to find this store at all.

Su Xiaolin walked directly into the front desk, put her arms around a fat young woman and said with a smile: "Let me introduce, this is my best friend He Rui, who is also the owner of this store."

She then raised her finger and pointed to the opposite side: "This is my old tiger Pingtao."

Hu Pingtao, dressed in casual clothes, greeted with a smile: "Hello."

He Rui has fair skin and looks good when she smiles.She stood up from the chair: "I have heard that Xiaolin's husband is very handsome. Today, seeing the real person is finally a feast for the eyes."

Hu Pingtao was a little puzzled, and asked with a smile, "You didn't come when we got married?"

The smile that had just formed on He Rui's face faded away quickly, and she looked a little embarrassed: "Something happened at my family, and I was busy going back to deal with it, so I didn't come to catch up with Linlin's wedding."

Su Xiaolin is very understanding.She put her arms around He Rui and said with a smile: "I know you are busy, and you even sent me a special red envelope. No, my husband just came back, so I brought him to take care of your business."

He Rui smiled, and swept away the negative emotions in her heart: "Everyone who comes is a guest. Linlin and I are very good friends, and today's meal is mine."

Hu Pingtao quickly waved his hands: "This is not acceptable. One is one, and the other is two. Since it is a meal, we must give what we should give."

Su Xiaolin also shook He Rui's body vigorously: "You are going too far! I won't come anymore!"

He Rui was very straightforward: "Okay then! If you come to eat in the future, you will get a [-]% discount."

……

Yuanyang pot, divided into clear soup and hot and sour.

The clear soup is a mixture of pork bones and lamb bones.He Rui introduced that this is a practice learned from the north.After the local people kill the sheep, they like to put the whole sheep bones into the pot, add the broken pork bones, boil the umami in the bone marrow over a slow fire, mix them with the sheep bones, the soup is white and thick, and add various seasonings to avoid the smell , Add vegetables and cook, very tasty.

There are many spicy hot pots, all over the country.The main ingredients of the bottom material are nothing more than butter and chili, plus a special blending method.The hot pot restaurant run by He Rui is very popular, and there are many diners. The main reason is that she adds sour radish, passion fruit and lemon, which are unique to Yunnan Province, in the spicy food.

In short, this is a hot and sour flavor similar to the Dai flavor, and the taste is more spicy than sour.

Since it is called "Yayale", the hot pot dishes must be mainly duck.

Hu Pingtao scooped up a spoon full of vegetables from the boiling soup pot, dipped the trembling duck blood in the seasoning, and stuffed it into his mouth. After swallowing the first piece completely, he greedily stuffed the second piece into his mouth.

He Rui and Su Xiaolin had a very good relationship, and it happened to be dinner time, so she assigned the work on the counter to the foreman, sat down next to Su Xiaolin, and the three of them ate together, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Try this." She smiled and picked up a duck leg from the pot and put it in Hu Pingtao's bowl.This is the practice of cutting the duck leg in half from the middle, marinating it with seasoning in advance, and it will be very delicious when cooked.

Hu Pingtao was in a hurry to thank him, and he didn't refuse.He sat on the flight all day, went to the provincial office as soon as he landed, and fought against Su Xiaolin after returning home. Now he is hungry, and it is time to replenish energy... Let alone hot pot, even the most ordinary In his opinion, instant noodles, or rice with pickles are delicious.

Su Xiaolin asked He Rui while eating: "Your hot pot restaurant is doing a good job! You should make a lot of money in a month, right?"

"It's okay." He Rui picked up a plate of tofu and poured it into the pot: "It's winter now, and there are many people eating hot pot. Linlin, don't think business is good now, it will be different in summer."

Su Xiaolin nodded: "That's true, summer is too hot."

He Rui smiled: "It's cold for half a year and hot for half a year. As long as the business is good in winter, it can basically be maintained. In business, it's like this. It's impossible to be full every day, as long as you can make money in the peak season."

After eating the duck legs, Hu Pingtao put the bones on the plate, raised his head and smiled at He Rui: "Your hot pot tastes good, I will bring my colleagues and friends over to eat some other day, so as to increase your popularity."

He Rui jokingly replied, "Thank you boss."

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction of the front desk.

He Rui stood up and wanted to go over to ask what happened, but saw the foreman hurriedly coming from that direction.

"Boss, that person is here again."

He Rui's face suddenly changed.

She turned around and said to Su Xiaolin: "Linlin, I have something to deal with. Take your time."

Su Xiaolin quickly replied: "It's nothing, you can go to work!"

Looking at the backs of He Rui and the foreman, Hu Pingtao lowered his voice and asked, "I think she has encountered some trouble."

Su Xiaolin glanced sideways at the front desk, turned around and said, "Maybe! It's just that we can't get along well. Let her deal with it first. If she needs help, she will tell me."

Hu Pingtao nodded, picked up his chopsticks, and continued to attack the dishes in the pot.

……

The noise from the direction of the reception was louder.Many guests who were eating turned their heads to look over there, with curiosity and doubt in their eyes, and more dissatisfaction.

Whoever is interrupted from dinner feels unhappy.

Su Xiaolin couldn't sit still anymore.She wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue, stood up, and said to Hu Pingtao in a low voice, "Eat first, I'll go over and see what's going on."

Hu Pingtao also put down the chopsticks in his hand: "I'll go with you!"

Su Xiaolin thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay!"

There was an old man standing in front of the cash register.Apparently at least 70 years old, very fat, with a visual weight of more than [-] kilograms, white hair is sparse, his face is covered with black and brown age spots, and his eyes are cloudy, but the gaze from them is very sharp.

"I don't care. I'm your father. After you were born, you have to support me. You must give me money today!" He kept yelling at He Rui.

He Rui stood on the side of the counter, looking at the old man with fear and anger: "I agreed to give you 2000 yuan a month for living expenses. I gave it to you last week, and I came to ask for it again today. Even if it is gold and silver, you have to pay for it." Hollowed out by you."

The old man shouted angrily: "How can 2000 yuan be enough for the current living standard? I lost in mahjong today, so you can give me another [-] yuan. Hurry up, I have an appointment."

"What I gave you is living expenses, not for you to gamble." He Rui glared at the old man, and stood there refusing to budge: "Anyway, I have already given you money this month, and there is no more money."

The old man didn't expect He Rui to be so stubborn, so he couldn't help being angry and impatient, and shouted sharply: "You open a shop and make so much money every day, but you don't even want to give 2000 yuan... What the hell, is there anyone like you who is a daughter? "

As he said that, he turned around and shouted to the people who were watching the excitement nearby: "Everyone come and take a look, everyone come and take a look! This is my daughter. I grew up shitting and pissing. Now that I'm old, she turns her face on and doesn't recognize anyone, doesn't even give me pension money, and curses me to death every day, it's so black-hearted."

This is a commercial area, and there are many people coming and going, and soon hundreds of onlookers gathered.A dense crowd blocked the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, talking a lot.

"I always thought it was a legend that unfilial children abandoning the elderly. I didn't expect to see a real-life drama today."

"Don't listen to that old man's nonsense. He has come here several times to make a fuss, asking for money with all kinds of excuses. The owner of this hot pot restaurant is a nice lady, and she gives him every time. Maybe he asked for too much money today, the old man came here The number of times is too frequent, and no one can bear this kind of thing, so we quarreled."

"Anyway, I think children must support their elders. That's her father, dear father! Look at the appearance of this hot pot restaurant, it should make a lot of money. A mere 2000 yuan is nothing at all. As the saying goes: There is an old man in a family, If there is a treasure, cherish it, and don’t make troubles for a little money.”

"That's right, it's embarrassing to have such a big business, and the old man came to the door for 2000 yuan. I would have jumped off the stairs instead."
