After getting a freshly baked photo and an autograph from Tang Lin, the boss happily let them eat happily, and then walked back in the direction of the cash register with a little song, and it could be seen that he was still in a good mood.

"Wood, can you sign a few names for me?" Zhou Haoran suddenly asked Tang Lin.

"What, when did you become my fan? Why didn't I know?" Tang Lin asked Zhou Haoran with some curiosity.

"Hehe, anyway, I'm useful, we have such a friend relationship, you won't even agree to give me a few signatures, right?" Zhou Haoran smiled obscenely, and didn't tell Tang Lin what the purpose of his request was.

"Don't say why I want to sign for you, I don't know if you will use my signature to do bad things," Tang Lin shook his head and said to Zhou Haoran as he ate the food.

"This ...... Okay, just now those testers and bosses in the company gave me an idea, you are so famous now, if I take your signature and sell it, I will definitely be able to make a strong profit, so that I can have money to supply the family, hehe, I don't ask for much, you just need to sign a small book for me," Zhou Haoran smiled happily, and at the same time was very obscene.

"That's impossible, the person who can buy my autograph must be my fans, and I can also partner with you to cheat my fans out of their money, I'm such a black-hearted person, no, this can't work!" Tang Lin directly shook his head and rejected Zhou Haoran's bad idea.

"Come on, fatty, it's not like the three of us can't get through the day by tightening our belts, what kind of song do you want to think, now that there are so many delicious things in front of you, can't you stop for a while?" Wu Hao said to Zhou Haoran while holding the meal.

"I'm a good boss, you're not a boss," Zhou Haoran gave Wu Hao a middle finger, but he didn't continue to dwell on this issue.

In general, Tang Lin and the four of them were very happy to eat, but because the meal was indeed too much, they all quickly ate nine points full, and then opened the old cellar that the boss brought for them, and slowly pushed the cup up.

Laojiao belongs to a kind of pure wine, but very mellow and mellow, in Huaxia, only a level worse than the top wine, two bottles of 91-year-old cellar, in terms of years, is not too high, but it is definitely not low.

The four of them drank and talked, and soon they were all a little drunk.

"Wood, you said that you have a treat, it's really not authentic, it would be much better if you invited us to eat hot pot in this kind of weather, warm up and warm your body, you can put whatever you want, you look here, there are so many meals left, you can pack more than a dozen lunch boxes when you pack them back," Finally, the chatter was almost over, and Zhou Haoran began to complain to Tang Lin again.

"I don't eat hot pot, you see that I have acne now, if I eat hot pot again, when Ying Ying comes back, she will definitely dislike me, you can eat it yourself," Wu Hao seemed to be going to have trouble with Zhou Haoran tonight, and when he just said that he was eating hot pot, Wu Hao immediately expressed his disagreement with Zhou Haoran's statement.

"This year, there are mandarin duck pots in hot pots, okay, do you think that you and Lu Meiying's chick are a pair of mandarin ducks! Look at you, don't you just have a girlfriend? You are like this, and you will definitely be a strict wife in the future," Zhou Haoran said to Zhou Hao with disdain.

"My wife is strict with me, I like it, you can control me," Wu Hao responded to Zhou Haoran very indifferently.

"Mandarin duck hot pot, fat man, I'll tell you a story, after you hear it, do you want to eat it," Tang Lin heard Zhou Haoran's words, put the empty wine glass in his hand back on the table, and said to Zhou Haoran in a bit of confusion.

"What kind of story? It can't be another story about gutter oil or something, right? I've heard a lot about that, but whether I should eat it or eat it doesn't have any effect on me," Zhou Haoran looked at Tang Lin and said.

"Of course not, it's a little story, or folklore, but whether it's true or not, that's another story," Tang Lin said with a wave of his hand.

"What about the mandarin duck hot pot and folk tales? Hearing you say this, I'm also a little curious, wood, come and hear it," Wu Hao also suddenly became interested and said to Tang Lin.

Feng Peng next to him was also very interested at this time, waiting for Tang Lin to speak.

"Mandarin duck hot pot is the kind of pot bottom that is half white soup and half red soup, and then add some ingredients on top and eat it with shabu, right?" Tang Lin asked the three of them very mysteriously.

"Isn't this nonsense, Mandarin Duck Hot Pot but it's like this, hurry up, just entered the ground, let's wait for the following, don't take out this simple common sense and ask people," Wu Hao quickly replied.

After Tang Lin heard this, he smiled hesitantly, and then continued: "Actually, in many areas of Bashu in our Huaxia, many experienced old people don't eat mandarin duck hot pot, do you know why?"

"Don't sell it, if we know that we still need you to come here, hurry up," Zhou Haoran also urged, but his mouth was stuffed with mouthfuls of vegetables at this time.

"It's really uncomfortable to tell you a story, and I don't have a sense of participation at all, well, actually, the reason here is because of the Mandarin Duck Hot Pot, at the beginning of the Bashu region, it had another nickname, called "Yin and Yang Pot". You never know what the one who shares the table with you is," Tang Lin quickly began to talk after expressing his helplessness towards Zhou Haoran and Wu Hao for a while.

And this story slowly came out of Tang Lin's mouth, the male protagonist in the story is a man named Gao Ge, and the female protagonist is Yu Tong.

The story is that when Gao Ge was in college, he had a girlfriend from Chongqing, Yu Tong.

Gao Ge himself is a native boy in the south who does not eat spicy food, but in order to accompany his girlfriend Yu Tong, he ate ninety-nine hot pot meals in four years of college.

And in the ninety-nine hot pot, because Gao Ge couldn't eat spicy food, he was very fortunate to have this choice of "Mandarin Duck Hot Pot".

Later, when Gao Ge was told by other friends in Chongqing, he learned that when a person born and raised in Chongqing City was willing to eat mandarin duck hot pot with him, it was already an accommodation that almost destroyed the principle.

However, this is not the point of the story, the point is that Gao Ge originally wanted to take the hundredth mandarin duck hot pot at the end of college as the anniversary of the two of them since they dated.

But until Gao Ge and Yu Tong finally broke up, this number was fixed above ninety-nine forever, although it was only one short of the hundredth, but it was indeed so far away.

The story continues.

In the third year after graduating from Gaoge, he was sent by the company to Chongqing City on a business trip, and Chongqing City happened to be Yu Tong's hometown.

It was not uncommon for a person to suddenly get hungry at night, and Gog was no exception, so he walked out of the hotel and went outside to find some supper.

Probably because it was too late, Gog walked along the dim street lamp for a long time, and he didn't see a single open shop.

As he walked, suddenly a spicy and fragrant smell wafted over, Goge sniffled, followed the fragrance quickly for a few steps, walked a few corners, and the fragrance that penetrated his nose became more and more intense.

Gao Ge followed the source of the fragrance and bypassed a black alley without street lights, and the hot smoke came to his face.

Soon, not far in front of him, a hot pot restaurant appeared.

The shop was full of people, the shirtless man and the cool girl from Chongqing City were talking and laughing in the steam, feasting happily, and seeing the hungry Gao Ge swallow his saliva so violently.

Gao Ge looked at the signboard hanging at the entrance of the store, which read the nine words "Chongqing Professional Mandarin Duck Hot Pot Restaurant", which exuded a dim yellow light in the night.

"Chongqing City Professional Mandarin Duck Hot Pot Restaurant?" After Gao Ge saw the name of the restaurant, he was stunned for a moment, and the hunger in his heart decreased slightly.

In his memory, Yu Tong once told him about such a hot pot restaurant.

It is rumored that such a hot pot restaurant was built using the air-raid shelter in Chongqing during the war, but after the war, the air-raid shelter was too heavy to be used for daily living. However, the industrious people of Chongqing City found another way and used such air-raid shelters to open up "Chongqing Professional Mandarin Duck Hot Pot Restaurants", relying on the hot pot restaurants to reconcile with popularity, making these air-raid shelters unsuitable for people to live in Chongqing City instead.

It's just that he suddenly remembered Yu Tong again, which made Gao Ge's heart darken, he shook his head vigorously, trying to make him stop thinking about it, and then he was about to drill into the store.

It's just that before he got into the hot pot restaurant, the shopkeeper who was busy inside suddenly came over and stretched out his hand to stop Gao Ge.

The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man with oily hands, and his appearance is inconspicuous, but looking at his solid body and thick arms, you can see that his kung fu is not weak, and there are no other workers in the store except for him who keeps talking.

"Why, don't you do business?" Gao Ge was a little annoyed in hunger, but in order to be able to fill his temple, he still asked patiently, he didn't know where the next place to eat was, and he didn't want to continue looking.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper looked Gao Ge up and down: "Outsiders?"

Then after seeing Gao Ge nodding, the shopkeeper nodded again, pointed to the offering table at the door of the store, and said to Gao Ge, "Bow and enter again." ”

Gog looked at the spot the shopkeeper was pointing to, where a palm-sized bronze sculpture was placed.

Different from the God of Wealth and Guanyin offered in ordinary stores, it was a general who straddled a horse and crossed the sword, and his eyes were particularly smart, as if he was looking at Gao Ge with majesty, and the sword in his hand would be split at any time.

Seeing that Gao Ge seemed to be a little puzzled, the shopkeeper explained softly: "This is General Ba Manzi, who can determine yin and yang, and divide good and evil." ”

"Now the boss of Yu City doesn't have to bless himself to make a fortune?" Gao Ge felt very strange in his heart, but he also knew that it seemed inconvenient for him to ask the truth at this time, after all, it was the business of the shopkeeper himself, so he honestly bowed to the statue three times.

After seeing Gao Ge worship the bronze sculpture, the shopkeeper seemed to be relieved, opened his body sideways to make way for Gao Ge, and said to Gao Ge: "The store is busy, you can watch and sit...... Be careful, and leave quickly after eating. ”

The shopkeeper's words made Gao Ge feel more and more strange, where is the attitude of the shopkeeper to do business, it is clear that he wants to drive customers out.

Gog frowned, and then looked around the store, the ceremony was overcrowded, and Gog couldn't find an empty table for him to sit down.

"Can you only share the table? Hot pot, eat with people you don't know......" Gao Ge muttered to himself very embarrassed, imagining the scene of eating hot pot with strangers, he felt a sense of discomfort.

Just when Gao Ge was still worried, a voice that he was familiar with but a little unfamiliar suddenly came: "Gezi, come here." ”

Gao Ge looked back along the voice, and was stunned on the spot, as if the real hot pot restaurant was frozen.

In his sight, the delicate face with a smile like a flower looming behind the steam, who is it not Yu Tong?

Suddenly saw the 'ex-girlfriend' who didn't say goodbye back then, Gao Ge suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart, happy, angry, timid, etc., he just looked at Yu Tong for a while.

"Forget it, it's all in the past, be generous, don't let her look down!" Gao Ge persuaded himself in his heart, took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile and walked in the direction of Yu Tong, and then sat down opposite her.

"Xiaotong, ...... back then" Gao Ge finally spoke, and his subconscious made him want to ask why Yu Tong didn't say goodbye back then.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's order, it's not too early," Yu Tong said to Gao Ge a little coldly, without a too intimate expression.

"Also, after so many years of separation, she only suddenly saw me alone, so she kindly asked me to sit down, right?" Gao Ge thought with some astringency in his heart.

Gao Ge was a little gloomy, and after swallowing his saliva, he subconsciously shouted in the direction of the shopkeeper: "Boss, come to a mandarin duck or pot." ”

As soon as Gao Ge said this, the hot pot restaurant suddenly fell silent.

The people who were still talking about it seemed to have heard something very incredible, and they cast inquiring eyes at Goge.

It went on like this for a few seconds before they turned their heads back and continued with the supper in front of them.

The shopkeeper also walked over with a frown at this time, looked at Gao Ge, and then looked at Yu Tong, who had no expression over there, and said to Gao Ge: "Young man, I think I'll give you a red soup...... If you don't like spicy food, I'll try to put as few chili peppers as possible. ”
