Chapter 0415 cooperation with the small lotus pond hot pot
"I'm a serious businessman. I don't know so many talented people, both underworld and white. Every project and every contract I do is all reasonable and legal. If you don't believe me, you can go investigate. If I really break the law, take out the
Evidence, I will definitely plead guilty and let you skin me and cut me to my bones. But now you have no evidence, so you are framing me here. Why? I am not a prisoner. I want to see a lawyer. Before my lawyer shows up, what should I do?
I don’t know, and I can’t say anything!”
Zhou Chengmin slowly closed his eyes, wanting to lean against each other and take a rest, but the chair had no back at all, so he had no choice but to lie forward, hoping to get some rest time, but even if he bent down, they would not touch each other.
Without his hands close at hand, he could only stiffen his sore and numb neck and try his best to calm himself down.
"Okay, very good. I like people like you who continue to persevere even though they know they will fail. Now that you are in my hands, you must persevere and don't let me down too much!"
Zhu Chun left the interrogation room with a smile. He could see that Zhou Chengmin's body and psychology had reached their limits.
If you want to extract useful information from Zhou Chengmin's mouth, it will probably take a few days. However, for him who has just been promoted and is in a good mood, the most he has is time, and he doesn't care to continue waiting. He won't fight anyway.
Without scolding him, just taking turns interrogating him and depriving him of sleep was enough for Zhou Chengmin to drink a pot.
At Xiaohetang Hot Pot in the county, in a private room for four, Li Zeyu, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Shen Dapeng are cooking hot pot.
In the steaming mist of the hot pot, Shen Dapeng was worried about Zhou Chengmin's affairs, but life has to go on. You can't just stop eating, drinking, and sleeping while you're worried, right?
Moreover, although Zhou Chengmin was arrested, he would not suffer much as Tie Zhengshuo was helping to keep an eye on him. No matter how arrogant Zhu Chun was, he would not dare to have a head-on conflict with the county magistrate, let alone do whatever he wanted.
"Hey, Brother Peng, when you go to the capital, Xiaoxiao will also go to the provincial capital. You won't be able to eat such authentic and delicious hot pot in the future. Come, eat more now!"
Li Zeyu ate happily, and the food was even more delicious. He made a hissing sound from the depths of his passion. It was obvious that he was either burned or spicy.
"Big head, no one wants to believe what you say normally, but this time you are right. The taste of Little Lotus Pond is really good. Not only is the soup base delicious, but the base ingredients seem to be very particular as well!"
In front of Shen Dapeng were seven plates and eight bowls of various sizes, including fermented bean curd, cauliflower, sesame sauce, chopped green onion, coriander, minced garlic and sesame oil that were eaten in other ways, as well as a soup similar to that of fattened beef in later generations.
xo sauce.
Shen Dapeng couldn't help but sigh. Xiaohetang is obviously just a small hot pot restaurant. The soup base and various types of seasonings are even more complete than many national chain hot pot restaurants in later generations. The most important thing is that the taste of this hot pot is amazing.
The spicy pot is spicy and numb, the seafood pot is fresh and delicious, and even the clear soup pot is salty and mild.
"Brother Peng, you don't know this. The owner of this hot pot restaurant is an authentic Sichuanese. Their hot pot base is passed down from ancestors, and there are no branches across the country. Haha, when you leave, this delicious food will be
I'm the only one left to enjoy it, ahem, I feel sad just thinking about it, haha..."
Li Zeyu was smiling happily when a male voice with a strong Sichuan accent came from the door, "Oh, Brother Li, you brought your friends to cheer me up again? I will still give you a 20% discount on today's meal, and
How about adding a portion of duck intestines? Is it interesting, bro?"
Li Zeyu turned around and saw that it was the boss who was coming to propose a toast. He quickly poured a glass of beer, clinked glasses with it, and drank it all.
Shen Dapeng also found it funny. Boss Tang was already over 50 years old. In the past, he could have been Li Zeyu's grandfather at this age, but now he calls Li Zeyu brother. This is really a way to win business.
You have a good face, a small businessman, you really have something unique that can make you stand out in the world.
Li Zeyu really likes the taste of Xiaohetang hot pot, so he often eats here with customers and has become a regular customer here. The boss not only gives him a 20% discount, but also occasionally sends some of Li Zeyu's favorite meals, which can be regarded as a loyal customer.
It's a good way to attract repeat customers.
"Boss, the taste of your hot pot base is extremely delicious, but I heard from Li Zeyu that there is no branch in the country. Why is that? Doesn't the boss want to make more money?"
Shen Dapeng was curious, so he asked casually, and placed the chopsticks gently and arranged them neatly.
"It's a crappy branch to open. My relative opened a branch before. The service, hygiene, and taste were all bad. It was just ruining my sign, so I asked him to remove the sign from my little lotus pond!"
When talking about the past, Boss Tang seemed a little dissatisfied and complaining.
"What happened next?"
"Then we broke up and no one paid attention to anyone else!"
Boss Tang is from Sichuan, and he speaks with a Sichuan accent, and at this time there is a bit of northern dialect, which sounds a bit fun and weird.
Regarding the weird accent and the boss's words, Shen Dapeng was a little bit dumbfounded, "Then there won't be any more branches?"
"Why don't you want to open one? No one is stupid. Everyone knows how to make money by opening a branch. It's just that we are almost sixty and don't have so much energy anymore. I only have one son who has a master's degree from a provincial university. I look down on this kind of business.
The dirty and tiring little businessman also went back to work in the high-tech company in his hometown in Sichuan."
As he said that, Boss Tang sneered at himself helplessly, "Hey, we, an old couple, came to the north to make money. Before the fallen leaves could return to their roots, our son returned to Sichuan. What do you think is going on?"
"It's such a good taste that it's a pity that people all over the country can't try it!"
When Shen Dapeng asked about this, it was not just a whim. He had indeed thought about opening a restaurant chain before, but he had limited energy and no suitable candidates. But at this moment, he suddenly remembered a popular food in his previous life, which was convenient for him.
Cooking hot pot, if this project could be launched now, coupled with the delicious taste of Xiaohetang, wouldn't it sweep the shelves of major supermarkets?
"Boss, Li Zeyu is one of the shareholders of Pengyu Food Factory. Do you know about this?"
"I know, I know, in the past half year, Brother Li has always taken care of my business. How could I not know Brother Li's great achievements!"
The boss looked at Li Zeyu with a smile. He said "brother" in his mouth, which was really polite, but he really admired Li Zeyu's personality, his cheerful personality and his informality.
"Boss, if Pengyu Food Factory wants to cooperate with you, would you be willing?"
As soon as Shen Dapeng said this, Li Zeyu was stunned at first, and then the boss also frowned. Lin Xiaoxiao at the table was also confused. The boss had already said that he didn't want to be a chain store for fear of ruining the sign. Why did Shen Dapeng still do it at this time?
