Chapter 690




"Manager Yu, you're done eating so fast?" asked the driver in doubt when Yu Chu got onto the car .

After all, it hadn't been 15 minutes since Yu Chu got off the car . This eating speed was too fast .

After all, he still needed to order and wait for his dishes to arrive .

"Yeah . Go to the Ganjiang Hotpot at Nanchang Street . It's unit number 187," Yu Chu nodded and gave a new address without saying anything else .

"Ok . It's not too far . We will reach in 10 minutes . " The driver nodded and set off .

"I wonder how will that hotpot tastes like . " Yu Chu frowned, appearing rather anxious .

However, he did not spend much time worrying . After all, he would usually read his documents whenever he was on the road, even if it was only a 10 minutes journey .

"Manager Yu, is this the place?" the driver asked while pointing at a red signboard after putting the car to a smooth stop .

"Yes . " Yu Chu nodded after leaning forward to take a look .

"OK . I will wait here," the driver said, aware of what his job was .

"Um . " Yu Chu nodded and got off the car .

Thump . He shut the car door and walked towards the hotpot restaurant .

The moment Yu Chu entered, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron welcomed him and said, "Welcome, please take a seat . The menu will be on the table . If the food is not salty enough, you are free to add more salt . You will be billed based on the number of bamboo sticks you have later . Meat sticks will cost 2 RMB while vegetable sticks will cost 1 RMB . "



"Ok . " Yu Chu nodded and sat down .

"This hotpot restaurant is quite weird . " Yu Chu scanned the restaurant .

This Ganjiang Hotpot was different than all hotpots Yu Chu knew of .

Not only was the entrance into the restaurant narrow, there were also only two pots in the restaurant . However, the pots were very big . It resembled the huge pot Yu Chu had at his home when he was young . However, the pots here were not as deep as what he used to have .

A counter was around each of the pot, forming a circle . All around the counter, plastic stools were arranged . On each of the stools were a bowl of chili powder .

Each pot looked like it could serve about 12 or 13 customers . With two pots, this restaurant could serve more than 20 customers .

Splashing sounds could be heard as both meats and vegetables were being boiled in the pots . All of them were skewered on bamboo sticks that were about as long as a forearm .

This was what the boss meant earlier when she said that he would be billed based on the number of bamboo sticks he had later .

A customer could start eating the moment he sat down around the pot . This looked quite interesting .

In the past, Yu Chu would never think that something like this was interesting . He would only analyze how much time would be wasted to cook with this pot .

After all, eating in itself was a huge time-waster for the previous Yu Chu .


"It's still this hotpot restaurant that has better food . This kelp tastes amazing . " While Yu Chu was immersed in his thought, the customers near him started talking .



"Um . Yeah . This chili is so fragrant," a young woman nodded and agreed .

"I think this kidney is quite nice as well . It's very tender," someone else joined the conversation . This person was seated beside the young woman, yet it was clear that they did not know each other .

"The pig intestine is not bad as well," said the young woman while picking up a stick of skewered pig intestine .

"No way . I still think the tender kidney with chili is the best," said a different young man .

"Which one do you prefer?" someone suddenly asked Yu Chu .

Yu Chu was quite astonished by the sight of strangers debating on which is the tastier food . Just as he was thinking of what to answer, the boss spoke .

"Haha, everything here is good . Eat more," the boss said loudly .

"Yeah . Boss, all the food here is nice," the more than 10 customers in the shop laughed and voiced their agreement .

Yu Chu picked up the chopsticks and prepared to start eating as well .

Of course, he was holding his chopsticks with one hand and holding the bamboo stick with the other . This was how everyone else was eating .

Ever since he got his Tangyuans scammed by the despicable Wu Hai, Yu Chu had learned to do what everyone else was doing . When it came to food, he would make no assumptions and reserve his judgment until he tasted the food .

The first food he decided to try was the kelp . After all, that was the first food he had heard someone praising here .

He took a stick of skewered kelps and dipped it into the chili powder .

The bamboo stick was colored in brown, the same color of the broth, after being soaked in it . The oil from the broth was sticking to the surface of the kelps, giving them a dark green glossy look . The kelps were emanating a thick fragrance of fermented soybean paste .

"It should be quite good," Yu Chu muttered inwardly and stuffed one of the kelps into his mouth .

Yu Chu started chomping on the kelp . It was somewhat mushy after being boiled in the hotpot . Therefore, it was quite easy to chew, and although it wasn't springy, it was smooth and tender from being boiled in the hotpot .

"Hiss, so spicy," Yu Chu couldn't help himself but to say this .

That's right . Immediately after he felt the smoothness and tenderness of the kelp, the spiciness of the chili powder erupted in his mouth .

This spiciness was completely unlike the Sichuan's spiciness that would be both spicy and fragrant at the same time . Rather, this was a spiciness that rushed straight into one's throat before burning one's stomach, a spiciness that would course down the throat together with the kelp .

"Cough . Cough . " Yu Chu couldn't control himself and started coughing .

"So spicy . " Yu Chu reckoned that his tongue had probably turned completely red from the spiciness .

"So people from Gan River are actually capable of eating something this spicy," Yu Chu said in realization .

Although he had been here for work many times before, he had only found out about this now . After all, in the past, he would always be eating oats in the office . The leftover oatmeals in the office proved this .

As the spiciness assaulted his senses, he immediately stuffed another piece of kelp into his mouth . Only by continuing to chew could he alleviate the spiciness in his mouth .

One stick after another, before long, there was a pile of bamboo sticks in front of Yu Chu . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting .

"It's too spicy . I can't eat anymore . " Yu Chu frowned and stopped eating .

"Boss, give me the bill please," Yu Chu said after wiping his mouth .

"Ok . Altogether, it's 37 RMB," the boss said . She did not count the bamboo sticks one by one . Instead, she mere gave it a glance before coming up with this price .

"Here you go . " Yu Chu handed her a 50 RMB bill .

"Please come again in the future," the boss said while Yu Chu was leaving .

The first thing Yu Chu did after getting on the car was not telling the driver where to go . Rather, he picked up his glass and drank a big mouthful of water .

Yu Chu was being assaulted by an intense spiciness .

"Go there," Yu Chu gave a new address and took out his notebook, preparing to write down his evaluation on the hotpot restaurant .

This time, what he wrote was: "The taste is acceptable, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is quite decent . The level of this restaurant is 0 . 5 Yuan . "

Beside this line was the evaluation for the first restaurant . There, he wrote: "Having a hard time putting the food there in my mouth . Zero Yuan . "

That's right . To satisfy his stomach, Yu Chu had not only created a form . He had even invented his very own unit of measurement .

This was a unit of measurement using Yuan Zhou's cooking as the base . With this unit of measurement, he would judge if the restaurants were worth returning to .

For example, in his opinion, the hotpot restaurant earlier had 0 . 5 of Yuan Zhou's level . As for the first restaurant, the food there was unpalatable, completely incomparable to Yuan Zhou . Therefore, he gave that restaurant a rating of zero Yuan .
