Chapter 1291: The restaurant in question
In Li Yundao's eyes, Pan Jin is just like a child, he cares about and spoils these children who have just come down the mountain and given him a lot of hope and warmth. I think that at the beginning, in order to go to the capital to prevent Cai Taoyao from marrying Jiang Qingtian, he bought a plane ticket to accompany him to the north to rob his daughter-in-law without saying a word, and now the two little rabbit cubs have entered Oxford University for graduate school, and Xiao Pan Jin has actually become a reporter in the real sense.
"You wrote the report on the black oil refining industry chain last year?" Li Yundao asked with a smile, "The wording is sharp and the writing is sophisticated, it doesn't feel like your pen." ”
Pan Jin stuck out her tongue: "I'm just the second author, the first author is my teacher, the old master in the society, for this report, she squatted in the black oil processing plant for half a year, and I helped in the last period of time, just like that, I didn't dare to tell my parents." The year before last, they are still nagging about it......"
Li Yundao nodded and said: "Jiang is old and spicy, listen to your parents more, there is nothing to say." That time was indeed very dangerous, even I feel palpitations when I think about it now, as long as one link went wrong, it was not as simple as just one or two people dying. ”
Pan Jin also patted his chest and said, "When will the world be peaceful?"
Li Yundao smiled and patted the little girl's head gently: "This is the dream of many people in all dynasties, but it is just a dream. Human beings are born to face all kinds of difficulties and challenges, which is why Buddhism says that reincarnation enters humanity and comes to experience hardships. ”
Pan Jin, who grew up with a materialist education, scoffed at Li Yundao's reincarnation, but the pot in Li Yundao's mouth made the beautiful reporter very moved.
The pot originated from the Weishan Lake in the jurisdiction of Jiangbei, and was once a traditional snack in the countryside in the north of Jiangbei, and then the pot was carried forward in Jiangzhou, and now Jiangzhou pot can be seen all over China. However, just as hand-grabbed mutton is rarely grasped by hand, almost no one now sets up an iron pot in the middle of the stone stove on the ground as before. But after countless chefs' improvements, what was once a crude dish can now be elegant. Li Yundao took Pan Jin to a restaurant that is very famous in Jiangzhou, called "Diguo Paradise". God knows how the owner of the restaurant came up with such a name, as long as he changed a word to say that it is hell and heaven, but the owner of the chef figured out a set of secret recipes for making a pot of earth, so that people who have eaten this pot will be worried if they don't eat it for three days.
A restaurant that eats a pot on the ground, with three floors in the upper, middle and lower floors, each floor is nearly 1,000 square meters, and such a scale is rare among the people. At this time, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and there was still a long queue at the entrance of the restaurant. Before going out, Li Yundao booked a place in advance, but the restaurant only reserved a seat until six o'clock, and wanted to change to the hot pot next door with a relatively peaceful business, but smelling the fragrance from the underground pot restaurant, Pan Jin couldn't move his foot.
"Uncle, let's do it, line up in line, this smell is weird, I must try it today! You know, I'm just a foodie, I can suffocate me in the capital this year, fortunately, your Gu Xiaoxi often accompanies me everywhere to find good food, otherwise I would have sneaked out of the capital to find you!" Pan Jin took the number and pulled Li Yundao to find a place to sit down at the end of the line, "This restaurant is really amazing, more exaggerated than those Internet celebrity restaurants in the capital." She looked at the waiting line of nearly 100 people, a little incredulous. "When those Internet celebrity restaurants in Beijing first opened, I didn't see this kind of scene. How long have they been open?"
Li Yundao thought for a while and said, "It should have been two or three years, but it is said that the business has only improved after changing bosses and chefs in the past year or two." Smelling the fragrance coming from the restaurant, Li Yundao frowned slightly, his sense of smell was extremely sensitive, he could smell what spices and medicinal materials were contained in this fragrance, but there was one thing that was very familiar - poppy. Opium poppy is the object of the vast majority of countries in the world in the anti-narcotics focus on encirclement and suppression, adding poppy husks to the dish, in fact, is the same as the principle of soaking the opium poppy in water to extract opium # chips, once morphine enters the human body, it will produce corresponding effects. Could it be that this restaurant, which is popular all over Jiangzhou, has never been investigated by the relevant departments? Li Yundao faintly felt that there should be something wrong with this.
"Let's change places!" Li Yundao didn't want to joke with his Pan Jin's health.
"Why?" Pan Jin was puzzled, "Are you hungry? If you're hungry, we'll go eat the hot pot next to you." In the final analysis, Pan Jin is still a very understanding girl, but when she got up and walked towards the hot pot restaurant, she still turned back three times in one step.
"During your stay in Jiangzhou, don't come to this pot paradise to eat for the time being. Li Yundao instructed.
"Huh?" Pan Jin was born in journalism, and immediately smelled something not quite right, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he grabbed Li Yundao's arm and asked, "Uncle, did you find anything wrong with that restaurant?" You tell me, I expose them! I'm a reporter!"
Li Yundao shook his head: "Don't startle the snake first." "When fighting with those cattle in Liushui Village on the mountain, Li Yundao has to plan before acting, let alone this kind of thing. Li Yundao believes that it is impossible for him to smell the smell of poppy husks in this restaurant alone, but Diguo Heaven is doing business like this, and no one is interfering, so there must be a lot of articles here.
The scale of the hot pot restaurant is not small, but the business is thousands of miles away from the pot paradise next door. In the big hot pot restaurant, there are only a few tables of customers, and the waiter can't help but sigh when he glances at the lively waiting line next door from time to time, and then looks at his own business. A young man who looked like a boss patted his fellow on the shoulder and said with relief: "Don't be discouraged, that kind of money with a clear conscience, let's not fight." As he spoke, the young man looked next door and sighed.
Li Yundao sat behind the young boss, he asked Pan Jin to order the bottom of the pot and the dishes by himself, pretended to hold a cigarette and a lighter, and followed the young man's footsteps to the outside of the store. The young boss walked to the door, beat his waist, looked at the waiting line next door for a long time, and then couldn't help but spit on the ground, and when he turned around, he saw a guest looking at him with a smile, and hurriedly put up a smile, took out a lighter, and helped the guest light a cigarette.
Li Yundao didn't refuse, after the cigarette was lit, he squinted and took a puff, spit out a cloud of smoke: "Why is your hot pot restaurant so different from other people's business?"
It's okay not to say it, but as soon as he said it, the young boss was angry: "It wasn't like this two years ago, so a long queue was at my door!"
Li Yundao said with a smile: "The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year! Tell me, what's going on?"
The young man listened to Li Yundao's accent as a northeasterner, thinking that he was a merchant passing by Jiangzhou, and he happened to have no place to pour the bitter water in his stomach, so he grabbed someone who was willing to listen, and poured it out in one go: "Brother, do you know, this restaurant was not called a paradise before, and the business was actually quite average, until two years ago, the owner changed, and then it became like this." ”
Li Yundao smiled: "If people put poppy shells, you can also put them!"
The young man's face changed greatly, and he looked around vigilantly, confirming that there was no one around, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth! The boss of this pot paradise is called Ding Kun, and there is a name called Kunzi in the rivers and lakes, and he is a well-known underworld leader in our Jiangzhou, and he can eat both black and white. Besides, they didn't put poppy shells......" The young man seemed to think that he was talking too much, so he stopped talking any further, but said, "I will never touch that kind of thing in my life anyway, I swear! Even if the hot pot restaurant goes out of business, I can't touch that kind of thing!" The young man nodded, as if to cheer himself up.
Li Yundao thought for a moment, and then asked, "Isn't there anyone who has reported it?" Li Yundao didn't believe that a shop was doing so well, and there were so many restaurants and restaurants around here, and no one was jealous? As long as someone was jealous, someone would report it.
The young man pointed to a Korean barbecue city not far away, which was the time to eat, but the barbecue city was dark and seemed to have closed down. Last year, Boss Park of the South Korean barbecue city reported to the public security and food and medicine, and the people sent people, but it was not the pot heaven that was checked, but his barbecue city, and the result is what you see now, it is said that poppy shells and all kinds of illegal additives were found in the barbecue city, and then it went out of business! I wanted to redeem the shop, but there was no one who dared to take over. The young man lowered his voice and said, "It is said that someone on the underworld has spoken, and whoever dares to take over will wait in a wheelchair." In business, everyone knows that harmony makes money, who dares to take on this kind of mess?"
Li Yundao nodded: "That's right, harmony makes money." The two chatted some more gossip before Li Yundao took back his cigarette butt and returned to the store.
When the hot pot was served, Pan Jin was already hungry, and suddenly his index finger moved, and he didn't care about the image of a lady, so he said while shabu-shabu: "Actually, their hot pot is also quite fragrant, but it just feels like something is missing from the next door." Uncle, did you smell something just now, so you won't let me eat it? Hehe, it means that you still care about me very much, uncle, and you still like me, right?"
Li Yundao couldn't cry or laugh, he was really speechless about the general logic of this little girl and robber, but on this topic, Li Yundao didn't want to dwell on it more, so he changed the topic and said: "What are you here to interview in Jiangzhou this time? It's not to inquire about the secrets of your society, don't say it if you can't say it." ”
