When he arrived at the hotpot restaurant in Fatty Hu, Fatty Hu was working excitedly with the helper he invited.
Walking to the side of Fatty Hu, Lin Jin greeted him: ”Boss Hu, long time no see! Is business doing well? ”
Fatty Hu turned his head to look and saw that it was Lin Jin, whom he had not seen for a long time. It's the Brother Lin, my recent business is just average, quickly take a seat, take a seat, what are you eating for? ”
Lin Jin sat down on an empty seat, and said to him: ”Hehe, just a hot pot with dog meat! Small ones, by the way, with more chilies. And bring me more vegetables! ”
”Good job!” I'll get it for you immediately! ” After memorizing his request, Fatty Hu poured him a cup of tea with a plastic teacup and hurried back into the shop.
Seeing the Fatty Hu's fat body disappearing from the store with a tremble, Lin Jin took a sip of the plastic teacup and sat down to wait.
Not long after, Fatty Hu brought the hotpot up, and smiled at him: ”Brother Lin, you eat first, I'll call the other guests first.”
”Hm!” ”Go ahead!” Smelling the alluring smell coming from the hotpot, Lin Jin's saliva couldn't help but drool, so he casually called out and started to eat.
According to ”Compendium of Materia Medica”, dog meat can nourish blood and Qi, take away the spleen and kidney meridian and instantly warm the stomach and dispel the cold, ”nourish the kidney and strengthen the yang”.
Although Lin Jin was not here for the dog meat's medicinal effects, he was eating it with relish, with a mouthful of sweetness.
While he was eating, more customers came and left to settle the bill, making Fatty Hu even busier.
After Lin Jin finished the hotpot, he pulled a napkin to wipe his mouth and looked for him to settle the bill. Fatty Hu immediately laughed: ”Brother Lin, there is no need to give it to you. ”You helped me so much last time, so I'll treat you to dinner. You don't have to give me this!”
Lin Jin smiled, and stuffed fifteen yuan into his hands: ”Giving money for food, how can you break this rule! However, Boss Hu, I still have something to tell you. ”
”Hur hur. Then I'm sorry. Why is Brother Lin looking for me? ”
Just as Fatty Hu kept the money, someone on the side shouted: ”Boss, give us some fish head hotpot!”
”Sigh!” ”It's here, it's here!” Fatty Hu habitually replied as he rubbed his head. He was a little embarrassed as he said, ”Brother Lin, look at me … Why don't you sit down first! I'll make you another cup of tea! ”
Lin Jin saw that he was really busy and that it was still early so he said: ”No need, you should busy yourself first. I'll go for a walk and tell you. ”
”Alright, then I'll go back to work first.” Fatty Hu sent him off with a smile. While muttering in his heart that there was something he wanted to see her about, he went to entertain more customers.
It was a lot easier to walk after eating so many delicacies.
This Hu Family Bend could be said to be the best old street in Ninghua. The streets were curved and many parts of it were concrete roads that were built over 10 years ago, even though they were rotten. It was a very different kind of walking.
After walking around the street for around an hour, Lin Jin finally reached the shop in Fatty Hu.
It was already past noon and most of the people had left already. Seeing Lin Jin coming over, Fatty Hu immediately came over to welcome him: ”Brother Lin, you've come? ”Hur hur, I was wondering why you were looking for me!”
Lin Jin laughed: ”It's nothing much, I was not talking to you last time. Am I a biologist? That day, I went to that piece of land of yours to take a look and felt that it was a bit strange, so I wanted to use that land of yours to do some planting experiments. ”
”Oh, that's no problem. Just use it! ”How much do you need?” The Fatty Hu said generously.
He wasn't lying, in the past, people often collected protection fees from him, but ever since those two groups of people left, no one else came to collect protection fees from him. A month saved him at least six or seven hundred dollars.
Having no backing at all, he naturally understood that all of this was due to Lin Jin's energy. It was only right to give him a small piece of land to repay him.
”Hehe, thank you. But that's not what I meant. ” Lin Jin laughed: ”I want to buy that land in Boss Hu, and see if Boss Hu is happy or not.”
”This …” Hearing his words, the Fatty Hu was in a difficult position.
It wasn't that he wasn't willing to sell. Although that piece of land could grow some top-grade chilies, it couldn't grow much. The amount of chilies that he used every day in this hotpot store was not a small number.
Therefore, all he did was mix the other chilies with the top quality chili peppers. Other than the taste being a bit more spicy, the rest was no different from the other hotpot restaurants. Therefore, whether he used the chilies in the field or not didn't have much of an impact on his store's business.
