It was obviously the first time that a non-mainstream expert had met such a handsome man. His whole body felt uncomfortable, but a smile still appeared on his skinny face.

Du Lei groaned, finding it funny. His cousin who loved to follow behind him at his age, actually did not recognize him, but he decided to reveal his identity later.

”En, eating hotpot. I haven't come to your place for years. Have your tastes changed?”

He deliberately lowered his voice, making it sound somewhat hoarse.

”No, not at all. Our store is a hundred years old, and may have a slight change in its taste, but it's definitely still the same old taste.”

”That's good. Although I'm just one person, I have a lot of food. Don't worry, I'll consume a lot.”

After Du Lei finished speaking, he walked into the hotpot restaurant.

He grew up here and was familiar with everything. The signboard hanging at the entrance of the shop had long ago become rusty and used for almost ten years. He remembered that he had hung it up when he was still in junior high school, and his parents were honest people who followed the rules and thought that breaking their signboard in order to change it into a new one was simply smashing their own signboard.

Therefore, he hadn't changed it at all. The light bulbs on top of it had basically aged by now. When he switched on the signboard lights at night, they would flicker like the stars in the sky.

Those few vigorous and powerful words had also become a lot more blurry. Du Lei remembered that his grandfather had used a palm-sized brush to write those words.

But now, his grandfather had already left seven years ago.

Du Lei looked at the millstone in front of the door. In the past, because the restaurant had been opened too often, although their house was a hundred year old shop, they still suffered too much pressure when it came to their business.

This directly caused their family's business to plummet. In order to supplement their family's income, their mother bought breakfast, and the stone mill was used to grind soy milk.

In middle school, every time Du Lei went to school, he would have to drink a cup of soy milk before he could go to school. The soy milk his mother made was thick and sweet, it was the most drink he drank when he was young and he would even tell his mother to leave a small bowl for him when he returned home from school.

Actually, Du Lei's family was still quite happy. It was just that due to his first and second year in high school, his parents were quite worried about him due to his early love and the fight.

”It's still the same old. It's pretty good.”

Du Lei nodded and said, he found a seat close to the door and sat down, his family's hotpot restaurant was not considered big, there were only a total of 10 tables.

He took out a menu and introduced it to him, ”Our signature hotpot here is the Du Family hotpot.”

The bottom of the wok is of many kinds and the ingredients used are innumerable. Since you have come here to eat, you should know that our Du Family's hotpot has an extremely good reputation and the taste is also one of the best in a radius of tens of miles.

”In addition, we still have couples' lung slices, dumplings, noodles, and other special snacks here. If you want to try some, you can order some. To be honest, no matter if it's hot pot or small snacks, they are all very, very good. Even many of Chongqing's bosses often drive here and treat their customers to a meal here. ”
