August 14, 5 p.m.

Sitting on the royal throne of Star.Coffee, An Liang was contacting Pei Yongyuan, waiting for the phone to be connected, An Liang spoke first: "Brother Yongyuan, when will you get off work?" ”

Today is Friday, and Pei Yongyuan responded, "There is still a while, is there something wrong?" ”

"What I said last time has been completed, and I am about to go to Sister Yaling's side, let's wait for you to come back?" An Liang asked with a smile.

"Of course you have to wait until I get back!" Pei Yongyuan joked, "The hot pot prepared by your kid is indeed very delicious." I left at half-past five and arrived in about twenty minutes. ”

"Okay, we'll wait for you, see you later." An Liang agreed. Pei Yongyuan replied and said goodbye, An Liang hung up the phone, he called Li Ruchu together, and prepared to go to the Wucheng hot pot restaurant.

Although Pei Yongyuan still had to arrive close to an hour, it took a certain process to make a clear oil hot pot, and it was prepared in advance, and when Pei Yongyuan arrived later, it was basically just the right time.

Li Ruchu sat in the co-pilot, she was a little nervous and said, "Senior, is my dress appropriate today?" Li Ruchu was wearing a moon-white cotton T-shirt with a mid-length sleeve style, with only her small arms exposed, as crystal clear as jade. With cotton sweatpants of the same color, it looks like a homely and casual feeling, although there is no sense of fashion, but it gives people a very comfortable and warm feeling.

An Liang looked at the road ahead and responded, "It's okay, Sister Yaling is very easy to get along with." After An Liang finished speaking, he realized that this answer seemed a little inappropriate.

But language is like time, once spoken. It can't be taken back, just like time can't be turned back.

Li Ruchu's face was slightly red. Obviously, he also realized that An Liang's answer was a little ambiguous. But. Li Ruchu is very good at grasping the scale, she did not continue to struggle with this problem.

From Star.Coffee in Apgujeong-dong to Fogseong Hot Pot Restaurant in Yeongdong-daero, it only takes about 10 minutes to get from Star.Coffee in Apgujeong-dong to Fogseong Hot Pot Restaurant in Yeongdong-dor.

When he arrived at Yongdong Road, An Liang found that the underground parking garage next to the Wucheng hot pot restaurant displayed information about parking spaces, and An Liang entered the underground garage without hesitation. Maybe it's Friday, and it's early. There's only parking available, right?

In the underground parking garage, An Liang dialed Xiang Yaling's phone and asked Xiang Yaling to arrange a few guys to come over and move the three bags of chili peppers back to the hot pot restaurant.

The three bags of chili peppers add up to 50 kilograms, although An Liang can move them alone, but because the volume of the three bags of chili peppers is not small, An Liang moves them alone, I'm afraid the posture will be very ugly.

So, An Liang would rather wait for a while. Let Xiang Yaling arrange for the guys from the Wucheng hot pot restaurant to come over and carry the chili peppers. After waiting for less than three minutes, Hong Fei from the Wucheng hot pot restaurant walked into the underground garage with three guys from the back kitchen.

"Lao Hong. This way! An Liang saw Hong Fei from a distance and greeted Hong Fei.

Hong Fei took the three guys from the back kitchen and came to An Liang's side. An Liang had already opened the trunk of the BMW convertible coupe and gestured: "Three bags of green chili peppers." Let's move back first! ”

"Gotta get it!" Lao Hong responded in Xia Chinese, and then ordered the three guys in the back kitchen. Move three bags of green chili peppers to the hot pot restaurant.

An Liang and Li Ruchu also followed Hong Fei and the four of them to the Wucheng hot pot restaurant together. Inside the hall, there are already customers eating dinner.

An Liang beckoned to everyone, "Let's go to the back kitchen together!" ”

Li Ruchu followed An Liang's side, quickly looked at the people around him, and quickly locked on Xiang Yaling, basically determining that Xiang Yaling was An Liang's sister.

Xiang Yaling also found Li Ruchu, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at Li Ruchu and nodded. The reason why Xiang Yaling was stunned was not the birthmark on Li Ruchu's face, but that An Liang brought another girl over. After all, An Liang brought the girl from the combination of Little Crystal and Fx over to eat seafood hot pot not long ago.

Back kitchen.

An Liang first introduced Li Ruchu, "Sister Ruchu, this is my sister Xiang Yaling. Subsequently, An Liang also introduced Xiang Yaling, "Sister Yaling, she is my junior sister at Wucheng University. Before, when I opened a private hot pot in Wucheng, my senior sister was helping me do things, but now she has given up her studies and come to South Korea to continue to help me. ”

Xiang Yaling looked at Li Ruchu with a little surprise, she didn't expect that Li Ruchu and An Liang still had such a deep entanglement.

"Hello, as always." Xiang Yaling greeted her with a touch of closeness.

Li Ruchu responded with the same kindness, "Hello, Sister Yaling." ”

Xiang Yaling walked next to Li Ruchu and said in a low voice, "Ruchu, you came to Korea alone, aren't your family worried?" ”

"Sister Yaling, I don't have a family anymore, in my eyes, seniors are family." Li Ruchu responded generously, without the slightest taste of embarrassment and inferiority.

"I'm sorry, as before, I..." quickly apologized to Yaling.

"It's okay, Sister Yaling, the senior is very good to me." Li Ruchu led the topic to An Liang, this is the intersection between her and Xiang Yaling, and with the common topic, the two sides will get closer.

An Liang didn't care about the conversation between the two women, opened the three bags of chili peppers, pointed to the three bags of chili peppers and said: "Lao Hong, these three bags of chili peppers are Chaotian Chong, millet spicy, and long chili peppers, you use them to prepare three hot pot bases." By the way, do you have green peppercorns? ”

Hong Fei shook his head, "There are no green peppercorns, but I will arrange for someone to buy them immediately." After he finished speaking, he immediately arranged for a guy from the back kitchen to go to the nearby life supermarket to buy green peppercorns.

"The clear oil hot pot will be configured, right?" An Liang asked again uneasily.

Hong Fei nodded, "Although I haven't prepared it many times, I also know the recipe for the clear oil hot pot." Otherwise, you can configure it? Your skills are better than mine, let me steal the teacher? Hong Fei joked.

An Liang laughed, "Lao Hong said and laughed, I have a few catties and a few taels, I still know it." It's okay, Lao Hong, you can make the deployment. These peppers are all specially cultivated, and if there are no accidents, the taste should not be bad. ”

"Specially cultivated? If you want it, I'll configure it! Hong Fei agreed, he was an impatient, and after agreeing, he immediately called the guy in charge of cutting vegetables in the back kitchen and began to process three kinds of peppers.

The green chili peppers used in the clear oil hot pot are different from the treatment scheme of the regular hot pot, all the green chili peppers need to be cut into small sections, so that the hot pot base can be more flavorful in a shorter time.

An Liang looked at the guys in the back kitchen and started working, he turned to look at the two women and asked, "Sister Yaling, where is Andrew?" ”

When he was in the hall just now, An Liang didn't see Andrew. Now, in the back kitchen, Andrew is not found.

Xiang Yaling quickly glanced at the situation in the back kitchen, took Li Ruchu's arm, and walked towards the hall, "Andrew is in the hall." ”

An Liang didn't ask why he didn't see Andrew just now, and followed Xiang Yaling and Li Ruchu to the hall together. Back in the hall, An Liang carefully observed the hall and finally found Andrew.

It turned out that Andrew's stupid bird was actually in the booth near the window. Two female patrons, teasing Andrew. One of the female customers fed Andrew the peeled pine nuts in the palm of her hand.

From the bright smiles of those two female customers, it is not difficult to see that they like Andrew very much.

"Why wasn't this stupid bird a mascot when I was at Star.Coffee before?" An Liang said to himself, is this another form of 'good birds choose trees to perch'?

At 5:55 p.m., Pei Yongyuan walked into the Wucheng hot pot restaurant, and he took the initiative to greet An Liang and said, "An Liang." ”

"Brother Yongyuan is back." An Liang felt a little listless, because Xiang Yaling and Li Ruchu sat opposite him, kept communicating for more than half an hour, and told Yaling quite a lot of things about An Liang's childhood.

Pei Yongyuan also discovered Xiang Yaling and Li Ruchu, Xiang Yaling took the initiative to introduce Li Ruchu to Pei Yongyuan, and then asked Pei Yongyuan to sit next to An Liang.

The position they chose today is also the booth near the window, and at present, it seems that it is natural for two women to sit on one side, and two men to sit together based on deep friendship.

Pei Yongyuan sat next to An Liang and lowered his voice, "When will you kid settle down?" Pei Yongyuan means that when will An Liang be able to have a girlfriend in a down-to-earth manner, instead of being surrounded by many beauties.

An Liang pretended not to hear, "Brother Yongyuan, over there in Yansi Cave, there are three kinds of chili peppers planted in the experiment, you can taste them later, and see which one tastes the best, and we will specially cultivate one chili pepper in the future." ”

"Okay." Pei Yongyuan didn't mention the topic just now, there are some things that are enough to say once, and more is annoying.

Pei Yongyuan sat down for less than three minutes, Hong Fei personally walked over with a hot pot bottom, put the bottom of the hot pot on the table, and Hong Fei introduced: "This is the bottom of the pot that is rushing to the sky, and the other two pot bottoms are still boiling on a low fire in the back kitchen, you can try the taste of Chaotian Chong first." ”

"Hmm!" Pei Yongyuan nodded, "Yaling, Li Ruchu, let's try it together." ”

The bottom of the clear oil hot pot that rushed to the sky had obviously been boiled in the back kitchen, and it boiled in less than a minute when it was placed on top of the natural gas stove.

An Liang sandwiched a slice of tender beef cut from Korean beef and boiled it in the boiling soup, and the soup base of the clear oil hot pot came with a spicy and fragrant flavor.

After more than ten seconds, An Liang picked up the tender beef slices and looked at the color, made sure that they were already seven or eight medium-cooked, and sandwiched it into the sesame oil dipping bowl, dipped it in some sesame oil before feeding it into his mouth.

The tender beef slices are very tender, and the fresh fragrance contained in the clear oil hot pot soup base, as well as the spicy taste of Chaotian rush, a taste different from the traditional hot pot, explodes in the mouth.

If you say, the taste of traditional hot pot has a feeling of sunset. Then, the clear oil hot pot is the rising sun, the rising sunrise!

After swallowing the tender beef slices, An Liang tasted it carefully, the taste level of the clear oil hot pot, about half a minute, An Liang had an answer in his heart.

"How does it taste?" An Liang asked the other three for their opinions. (To be continued......)
