Early the next morning, Xu An set off for the wholesale market in search of the hottest chili pepper in the country, shabu shabu. I thought that even if I didn't have to go all over the Haishi wholesale market, I would have to walk through three or five wholesale markets to find it. Unexpectedly, when I walked into the first wholesale market, I saw this shabu shabu in a shop specializing in all kinds of chili peppers.

The fruit is cone-shaped, with a crumpled skin like a crumpled garment, and pimple-like protrusions on the surface. After ripening, shabu shabu is bright red and orange, of which bright red is the majority, and now Xu An sees bright red shabu. What surprised Xu An the most was that in this shop specializing in selling chili peppers, there was still fresh shabu-shabu!

When Xu An stretched out his hand to pick up a serious look at what was unusual about the hottest chili pepper in China, the shopkeeper shouted with horror on his face: "Who is that, you don't plan to ask for this hand!" Reach back! ”

His fingers stopped in mid-air 0.3 centimeters away from Shabu-shabu, and Xu An felt that his breath was a little bigger, and his fingers could have an intimate contact with Shabu-shabu.

At this time, the boss rushed over, and saw that there was still a little distance between Xu An's fingers and shabu-shabu, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly slapped Xu An's hand away, and said in his mouth: "This chili pepper is the hottest chili pepper in China, and the elephant's trunk can be so spicy that the elephant can't stop running wildly, and the nose is thrown around." A few days ago, an unlucky ghost touched it, and it was ice water and popsicles for half an hour, and the ghost still cried and howled. ”

After the boss finished speaking, he suddenly took the fly cover on the side and covered it, and said to himself: "No, I have to customize an acrylic box with a lock, no one can touch it without my permission!" ”

After some chatter, the boss finally reacted in hindsight, noticed that Xu An was still standing next to him, and opened his mouth to ask, "Do you want to buy chili peppers, what kind of chili peppers do you want?" Dry, wet or paprika? ”

"I want this chili, a little bit of dry, wet, and chili powder." Xu An's flapped fingers returned to their original places, and lightly tapped twice in the void in the direction of shabu-shabu.

The boss's eyes followed the direction of Xu An's finger, but his eyes fell on the millet spicy placed next to the shabu-shabu, nodded, reached out and ripped off a red plastic bag and twisted it, picked up the shovel and held it above the millet spicy, and asked, "How much does it cost?" How much wet? How much does paprika cost? ”

"It's not millet spicy." Xu An's fingers got closer, and landed directly on the fly cover that was buckled above Shabu-shabu: "I want this shabu-shabu, the hottest chili pepper in China." ”

"What do you do, what do you buy this chili for?" The boss stared at Xu An with a wary face, as if Xu An would push him to the ground if he made a rash move.

"My family is in the catering business, so I bought this chili pepper to make lo-mei." Xu An replied helplessly, no matter how you buy a chili pepper, you can be regarded as a bad person.

The boss glanced at Xu An with a suspicious face, and then walked back to the store with some reluctance, took out a single book and handed it to Xu An: "Write down the name, store name, phone number, and how much you bought, and if something goes wrong, it will be convenient for the police to find someone." ”

Well.

Xu An didn't know what had happened, but he knew that behind every seemingly outrageous regulation, someone must have done something more outrageous than the regulation.

Stretched out his hand to take the notebook, opened the cover, and found that the first page had been filled, filled in with the names of the same person, almost every two or three days, I would come to buy it, and the amount I bought at one time was not much, just ten. I turned back five pages, and when I turned to the sixth page, I finally saw a blank space, and hurriedly wrote my name, store, phone number, and the quantity I needed to buy on it neatly, and handed the notebook back to the boss.

After the boss took the book, he looked at the column of the purchase quantity for the first time, a pound of wet, a pound of dry, and ten pounds of chili powder? This amount! The boss's eyes instantly became strange again. It doesn't seem like this business has to be done, or forget it, right?

Xu An saw all the changes in the boss's expression, and it was not difficult to judge from the boss's series of behaviors just now that the boss had a deep misunderstanding and suspicion of himself. Xu An sighed, and finally explained.

"The lo-mei shop has not yet opened, we are planning to use the hottest chili pepper in China to make the most spicy lo-mei, and we have contacted the advertising company to shoot, and we will be able to see the advertisement of our store in the prime time of the local station in Haishi as soon as tomorrow."

Xu An chattered a lot, and the boss finally let down his guard when he saw that Xu An was telling the truth, returned to the cashier in the store, took out five pairs of impermeable rubber gloves, and put them on meticulously. took out another gas mask and put it on his face, and told Xu An to go away angrily, and finally yelled around - I'm going to pretend to be a devil pepper, everyone prepare!

As soon as these words came out, the bosses who were originally standing in front of the store to solicit customers all returned to the store, and when they came out again, they were already wearing masks, and they even held a few new masks in their hands and distributed them to the customers who came to the store. Xu An also got one from the owner of the chili shop and put on the mask in the stern eyes of the boss

After everyone was ready, the boss carefully opened the glass jar containing the shabu-shabu powder, took out a spoonful of chili powder from it as if walking on thin ice, and quickly put it into the bag. This is followed by the second, third, and fourth scoops

From the moment the lid is opened, the colorless capsaicin is mixed with oxygen, and with the slight wind current, it quickly spreads in all directions. At first, Xu An smelled a pungent smell, and before he could react, he sneezed twice. These two snorts seemed to be signals, and the snorts sounded one after the other in the street, and the pitch rose and fell, as if playing a snorting music.

It is worthy of being the hottest chili pepper in China, and the power is terrifying!

After the transaction was completed, Xu An returned to the store with a large bag of chili peppers wrapped tightly. On the way back, Xu An took out his mobile phone to search - what is the highest amount of shabu shabu ingested by the human body? Can eating too much shabu spicy kill you? If someone dies from an overdose of shabu-shabu, the shopkeeper should not go to jail

After some searching, Xu An decided to add some restrictions. For example, people with heart disease, high blood pressure and other underlying medical conditions are not allowed to participate; Pregnant women, children, and the elderly are not allowed to participate; Those under the age of eighteen cannot participate, and those above the age of forty cannot participate.

These restrictions are not only for their own good, but also for their own sake. Xu An didn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison because of this activity.

Although so many restrictions have been added, Xu An is still not very at ease, and after thinking about it, he made a decision! On the day of the event, a team of doctors and an ambulance had to be on guard at the scene, and if there was any abnormality in the contestants, they would be sent to the hospital immediately!

The ambulances are on the scene, so it's really foolproof!

Not long after Xu An left, a thin middle-aged man came to the chili shop and greeted the boss very familiarly: "Boss, come here with ten shabu-shabu, you want to be wet." ”

"It's not wet, someone came over to buy it all today, do you want to dry it?" The boss looked up and was relieved to see that it was an acquaintance.

"Gone?" The man picked up the book on the table with some incredulity, and turned to the sixth page to check the information of the purchaser. Xu An, Xu's lo-mei shop, use: make hell lo-mei with shabu-shabu and spicy.

Yo! Fellow travelers! I don't know where this lo-mei shop is, otherwise I have to taste the taste of lo-mei made with shabu-shabu peppers.

"Boss, do you know where this lo-mei shop is opened?" The man put down his notebook, leaned against the cash register, and still asked.

"yes, I forgot to let him register his address, in case something goes wrong, it's hard to find someone." The boss patted the back of his head with some annoyance, but immediately thought of something and replied: "That person just said that there will be advertisements broadcast during the prime time of the local station in Haishi at night, so you can pay attention to it when the time comes." ”

The man nodded to indicate that he knew: "Boss, then bring me five dry ones, this dry taste is not as good as wet!" Can I replenish the stock tomorrow, if I can, I'll come back tomorrow. ”

"I only made up for it once the day before yesterday, so let's wait two more days." The boss was once again fully armed and packed peppers for the man.

Xu's fast food restaurant.

In the original plan, Xu An planned to buy the chili pepper back, and Zhang Dezhen immediately entered the research. However, given the hotness of the chili, it is estimated that even the cockroaches will be smoked out of the store if you study it during the business hours. So the research time was changed to overtime research after half past two, thinking of the pain of this research process, Xu An offered Zhang Dezhen three times the salary for this overtime!

Zhang Dezhen, who was not yet clear about the situation, heard that today's overtime work would be calculated at three times the salary, his face was full of joy, and he couldn't wait a little, completely unaware of what a terrible scene would greet him.

After explaining the matter of researching Hell Lo Mei, the time has also reached eight o'clock, and it is time to print today's order to determine the number of takeaway orders. Xu An skillfully called up the backend of the web page to check the number of today's orders and prepare for printing. But after two glances, Xu An was stunned, the mouse wheel kept rolling down, and he saw the endless '666' in the remarks bar.

Because of the increased address restrictions, these people who can place orders are valid orders, and from the number at the front, you can know that there are a total of 579 orders with remark '666'! Xu An couldn't help but click to view tomorrow's order, and found that in the list of tomorrow's orders, there were more than 30 orders with the remark of '666'.

Yes, the publicity of this Haishi Food Studio is still good, just today's order volume has already paid off, and the additional orders in the back are purely earned. If the lo-mei shop can really become an instant hit, when the new orders at the other two construction sites reach 300, a lo-mei shop + transfer station will be opened in these two locations.

As soon as he printed out the order and handed it to Liang Dani for them to cut and classify, Xu An's mobile phone rang, it was a call from Uncle Han.

"Boss Xu, we have now loaded the equipment and set off, and it is expected to arrive in two hours, please reserve the installation location of the equipment here."

The installation location was arranged before the end of business yesterday, just on the left side of the No. 2 store, near the stairs, just enough to put down three machines, and there was a passage in the middle for employees to walk around. Basic measures such as water pipes and faucets have also been done, and everything is ready, only the machines are in place.

After Liu Daxi came back, he didn't tell anyone else that Xu An had purchased automated kitchen machinery and equipment, so when Xu An asked the cleaning place to come out yesterday, everyone was discussing in private what they planned to do.

It is said that the boss plans to install a few more vegetable washing troughs to prepare for the next recruitment; It is said that there are too many guests, and the boss plans to clean up this side to receive guests; It is said that the boss plans to get two desks here for Xu Kang and Xu Le to study.

However, with the arrival of Uncle Han and the installation masters, this mystery was finally revealed. A series of bits and pieces of parts were moved down from the truck, and under the operation of the three installation masters, the piles of parts gradually became Xu An's familiar appearance, and three shiny and half-human-high equipment appeared in front of everyone.

After the masters connected the water pipes of the equipment and plugged in the power supply, Xu An took out a basket of potatoes that had been reserved in advance, had not been cleaned, and were full of mud and sand. Under the guidance of the masters, Xu An poured the potatoes into the machine with his own hands, closed the lid, pressed the start button, and the roaring engine sound was accompanied by the sound of rushing water.

All eyes in the arena were focused on the roaring machine.
