A hot pot restaurant for one person

"You haven't told me your name yet!"

An An took the little girl and said as she walked, and the little girl told An An:

"Sister An An, you can call me Xiaomeng."

Little dream, interesting name. An An nodded and asked:

"Little dream, what do you want to eat?"

Xiaomeng thought for a while and asked:

"Sister An An, can we go eat hot pot?"

An An smiled and said:

"Of course you can!"

"Really, I thought you didn't like hot pot!"

Xiaomeng was very happy, and An An also said to Xiaomeng happily:

"How come, I like to eat hot pot very much, do you have any good recommendations around here?"

Xiaomeng rolled his big eyes and said to An An:

"Come with me."

An An was dragged by Xiaomeng through the streets and alleys, and finally came to a hot pot restaurant with a beautiful environment and very little liveliness, called "Hot Pot Eaten by One". The hot pot restaurant is not lively, not that there are not many people, on the contrary, this hot pot restaurant is full, but everyone is quiet.

Xiaomeng stood at the door of the store, looked up at An An and asked cautiously:

"Sister An An, do you think this is okay?"

An An looked at this interesting shop and said:

"Of course you can, but it seems that everyone here is eating hot pot alone, can we go with the two of us?"

Xiaomeng replied assuringly:

"Yes."

"Then let's go inside!"

After Xiaomeng got An An's affirmative answer, he pulled An An and rushed inside.

An An saw that the hot pot restaurant was very quiet, there was only one chair at each table, and only one person was eating.

Xiaomeng told An An that everyone who came to eat here would order a lot of dishes and prop themselves to death. They are all lonely people who want to eat all their grievances and loneliness into their stomachs. Then, when he walked out of the hot pot restaurant, he was resurrected again and continued to struggle.

The owner of the store saw Xiaomeng come in and greeted Xiaomeng:

"Xiaomeng, did you bring someone here?"

Xiaomeng's face seemed to have a hint of arrogance, and he patted his chest and said:

"Yes, uncle, this is my sister An An."

The boss personally entertained Xiaomeng and An An to the corner by the window, where there was a double table, which An An didn't notice at first.

The boss brought the menu, An An asked Xiaomeng to order first, Xiaomeng was a little restrained, and did not order a few dishes, and most of them were cheaper vegetables, what lettuce, coriander, and dragon's mustard. After Xiaomeng finished ordering, An An took the menu and said to the boss with a smile:

"Boss, I'm a carnivore, can I please give me all the meat?"

……

After ordering the dishes, An An and Xiaomeng discussed what pot bottom to eat, and An An asked Xiaomeng:

"Xiaomeng, can you eat spicy?"

Xiaomeng smiled confidently and said:

"Sister An An, I'm from Chongqing, can you eat spicy?"

Xiaomeng's appearance made An An laugh out loud, it was like meeting a dinner friend, An An said directly to the boss:

"Boss, we want something spicy."

In fact, An An also discovered that people who come here to eat basically order extra spicy, which can stimulate people's nerves and release stress.

The boss smiled and replied:

"Okay, you guys wait a minute, it'll be fine in a moment."

After the boss left, Xiaomeng said to An An:

"Sister An An, I used to come here alone to eat hot pot. I've come to the city since my grandmother left, and I've been alone. I once had an agreement with the owner of this place that if I brought someone here for dinner one day, he would entertain him, so this table was an agreement between my uncle and me. ”

An An reached out and shook Xiao Meng's hand, and didn't ask much, because An An knew that she would say what Xiao Meng was willing to say, and if she didn't want to say it, she shouldn't ask others.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the hot pot to be good, An An looked at the dishes on the table and Xiaomeng's immature face, and felt very satisfied.

The environment of this shop makes for a lot of peace and quiet inside.

The boss came out with a plate of fruit and said:

"It's free, you guys use it slowly."

"Thank you, boss."

After An An thanked him, he picked up the chopsticks and began to put the meat in the pot, which is also strange to say, An An always seems to eat hot pot when eating with others.

In fact, this is not only because An An likes to eat hot pot, but also because the people An An meets like to eat hot pot. And people who often eat hot pot have stories in their hearts.

An An is the kind of person who wants to eat a hot pot when he is happy, and he wants to eat a hot pot when he is unhappy. Hot pot is absolutely indispensable for An An.

Xiaomeng ordered a bunch of vegetables, but when the meat was cooked, it was all meat, on the contrary, An An ate a little more vegetables today.

Seeing that all the dishes ordered were wiped out, An An had to sigh at the potential of her and Xiaomeng's stomachs, like a bottomless pit.

Hey, it's another overeating, An An sighed, and then ate all the fruits sent by the boss with Xiaomeng.

In the end, An An was too full to walk, so she sat and chatted with Xiaomeng.

"Xiaomeng, are you familiar with the owner of this shop?"

Xiaomeng replied, "Rice friend".

After half a ring, Xiao Meng said with a serious expression:

"I know my uncle, when I first came to this city, I couldn't find a job, I had no money to eat, and then I walked into this shop and ordered a rice and a pot of clear soup with cabbage. Actually, I wanted to come in and ask if there was a job to be hired here, but I was embarrassed at the time. As a result, when the food was served, the boss said that there was an event in the store and gave away a plate of pork belly. ”

When Xiaomeng said this, he touched his bulging belly, smiled and continued:

"Later, I was embarrassed to ask the boss if there was a need to hire workers here, but the pork belly sent by the boss made me think that the city is still very warm. So, after I got a job, I would come to eat hot pot every time I got paid, so that I got acquainted with my boss. ”

Listening to Xiaomeng's story with the boss for a long time, An An also eased up, and saw the neon flashing outside, and the night of the city began.

When An An went to check out, the boss gave a nine-percent discount, and the boss said that he liked the number nine.

After An An and Xiao Meng walked on the road, Xiao Meng began to tell An An the story of the boss.

The boss is also from Chongqing, and he is a stranger to the city. The boss and his girlfriend came to the city to work hard, but then the boss's girlfriend fell ill and left. The boss has experienced life and death, and has seen through all kinds of life, and he is left alone. When you are alone, you know how good two people are, and when you are alone, you understand how difficult life is. The owner later saved a little savings and opened this hot pot restaurant to heal the wounds of people who only had one person.

In fact, the people we pass by every day have their own stories.

An An didn't tell Xiaomeng that he saw a female ghost in a hot pot restaurant, but An An saw that the female ghost had no malicious intentions, just silently accompanied the boss, and An An didn't care. Now that I think about it, this female ghost should be the boss's dead girlfriend.

An An and Xiaomeng said goodbye, there is no banquet in the world, and they didn't even leave contact information, but An An will always remember that she once met such a girl, helpful and pure-hearted.

An An found a hotel, washed up and took out the "Story of God" that he bought today.
