CHAPTER 230: CHAPTER 230: GRAND OPENING

Life isn’t easy for everyone, and the words "free tasting" have quickly gathered a large crowd at the entrance of Hundred Flavors Inn.

In the kitchen, the hot pot base has already been cooked, and the fragrant smell rises in the air, filling half the street with a delicious aroma. Along with several plates of colorful and aromatic dishes, quite a few people secretly swallow their saliva.

"Can we really taste it?" A brave little child has already squeezed to the front from the crowd, looking at Erhu with hopeful big eyes.

Erhu smiled and nodded at him, "Of course you can. Today, we have prepared 200 servings of meatballs for everyone to taste. If you want to taste them, folks can line up here. First come, first served, no pushing..."

Lin Shui has already started maintaining the queue with Lin Ershui.

Others are helping with distributing meatballs. Gu Nian has prepared a total of four kinds of meatballs for the tasting: lamb, pork, mushroom, and green bean vegetarian.

Today’s signature dish is this, cooked and then skewered with bamboo sticks, with three meatballs per stick.

"Hmm, delicious!"

"Really tasty, is this made from meat?"

...

Soon, a continuous stream of praises came from the crowd.

Some, unsatisfied after tasting, went directly into the restaurant.

Almost instantly, the restaurant was crowded.

In this world, there has not been anything like hot pot before. Seeing Gu Nian’s already written recipes and hearing the introduction of eating methods, made the guests dazzled.

Turns out, dishes can be eaten like this!

However, this spicy hot pot is truly flavorful, especially in this cold weather where eating it makes one sweat all over, feeling extremely comfortable.

Of course, some couldn’t handle the spiciness. Luckily, Gu Nian had the kitchen prepare a double pot, with clear soup on the other side for those who couldn’t take the spice.

"Young Master Nan?" Erhu, greeting customers at the door, suddenly saw Nan Jin Yu being pushed down from the carriage by Wuxin and exclaimed in surprise, wanting to greet but not knowing what to say.

So, he turned and ran.

Wuxin looked at this scene in surprise, "Master, does this mean... we’re not welcome here?"

On the other side, Bai Yanluo ran over with a stick of candied hawthorn in hand, Wuming following behind him, helplessly covering his wallet, with a depressed expression.

"Didn’t you say you were going to treat me to a meal? Why aren’t we going in?" Bai Yanluo asked as he bit into a candied hawthorn.

Nan Jin Yu gave him a look, eyeing the candied hawthorn in his hand, "Aren’t you childish?"

"Hehe..." Bai Yanluo laughed and stopped urging.

You can’t blame him, when he was a child, he always wanted to eat candied hawthorn, but the old man was stingy, earning money only to buy medicinal herbs and study, stingy to death with him.

Now, after finally growing up and having a wealthy friend, can’t he fulfill his childhood regrets a little!

In the kitchen, Gu Nian appeared to be helping, but was actually standing aside directing others. Erhu suddenly ran in, "Little sister, little sister, come out quickly."

"Second brother, I’m busy. What are you calling me for?" Gu Nian asked him.

"It’s... it’s Young Master Nan. You should hurry out to greet him." He, anyway, couldn’t handle this task. Clearly, Young Master Nan is pretty, looks noble, is also a nice person, but he doesn’t know why he’s nervous whenever he faces Young Master Nan.
