Chapter 184 Eating Hot Pot

A group of people were chattering about the various foreign guests they had encountered.

Xing Shen was deeply shocked upon hearing this.

After seeing these bamboo weavings, I realized they would sell easily, but I never expected them to be so popular.

After listening for a while, he finally remembered why he had come. "Wait, aren't any of you hungry? Everyone else has gone to eat. Have you been just staying here?"

There are very few foreign visitors now; most of them have gone out to eat.

Merchants were the most numerous.

After all, they have official support.

They, on the other hand, need to solve everything themselves.

"I'm tired, I don't want to go, but I also want to go and stand in the long line."

Xing Shen, who had originally planned to treat everyone, was speechless.

Lu Yuanqing waved his hand, "Ha. I've been prepared for this for a long time, don't worry!"

"What???" Everyone was completely unaware.

Lu Yuanqing gestured to Gu Baoxia, who then took out a large package, opened it, and everyone immediately saw a lot of raw vegetables and meat inside.

Everyone looked up at Lu Yuanqing, signaling him to speak directly.

Lu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Let's just have hot pot!"

So everyone looked at the meat and vegetables in Gu Baoxia's hands, and then at the hot pot broth next to them.

yeah!!!!

The crowd cheered.

Wang Wei, who had already finished lunch and returned early to take over his shift at the booth, happened to hear Lu Yuanqing's words.

Uh, right, before he left to eat, Lu Yuanqing bought a packet of hot pot base.

We sold just one bag in the morning.

Meanwhile, the other party kept selling, and he was so jealous that his eyes turned red.

Having solved the lunch problem, Lu Yuanqing acted as a hands-off manager, watching them get busy, while he waved to Wang Wei.

"Manager Wang, would you like a cup of tea?"

Wang Wei sighed, took it, and downed it in one gulp.

Lu Yuanqing was so busy all morning that he didn't pay any attention to their situation at all.

Even though they were so close, he didn't have time to pay attention.

But Wang Wei and his employees all looked grim!

There's no need to guess anymore; it's obvious that sales aren't great.

He needed to mention the idea that had flashed through his mind yesterday to Wang Wei, and the outcome would be up to Wang Wei himself.

"Manager Wang, I've never actually done any business before, and I don't understand the ins and outs of business."

Wang Wei: "You're too modest. I think your business is probably the best."

That's nonsense; he didn't have a chance to see what other people's booths were like.

There were tens of thousands of products and more than a thousand buyers. For the first three days, they were not allowed to move around freely to avoid crowding the foreign buyers.

Three days later, once the items to be purchased have been finalized and the contract signed, people will begin to leave.

At this point, they can move around and discuss cooperation among themselves.

Lu Yuanqing smiled, ignoring the sour tone in his words, and said, "That's not necessarily true. I have good eyesight; I can see that there are a lot of people over there, especially over the fruit area."

Wang Wei: "..."

Lu Yuanqing glanced to the side and saw that Cheng He had already started to get angry.

"You even brought a stove!" Wang Wei was speechless.

This is the first time I've ever seen someone cook their own meal right here at the convention center.

He's really learned a lot.

Lu Yuanqing smiled.

This was something he had Gu Baoxia handle.

Didn't she go to stay at Xing Shen's old classmate's house yesterday? Lu Yuanqing was still thinking about the hot pot base at the time, so he asked her to borrow it from Xing Shen's old classmate.

"Uh, where did this come from?" Xing Shen was also puzzled.

A stove, coal briquettes, a small iron pot—the preparations are more than sufficient!

Gu Baoxia raised her hand, "I borrowed it from Aunt Cuihua!"

Xing Shen: "When? How come I didn't know?"

"You went out early this morning, so I borrowed it from Aunt Cuihua!" Gu Baoxia explained.

Lu Yuanqing originally wanted her to find the other party to help her, since they were locals and would definitely know how to buy these things.

But when Aunt Cuihua heard this, she quickly waved her hand and said kindly that she would lend it to them.

What else could Gu Baoxia say?

Buying requires money, but borrowing doesn't; you can just give a gift later.

So she went to the hotel early and dragged Lu Yuanbo and Cheng He along to help her move the items.

After taking care of all that, she asked Aunt Cuihua to take her to buy a lot of groceries.

Dried goods like homemade vermicelli were sold to her by Aunt Cuihua.

Besides, this is a convention center; what kind of agricultural products don't we have? We can buy them on the spot.

Lunch was solved so easily.

"Aunt Cuihua said that we weren't full from just eating vegetables, and reminded me that I had bought a lot of steamed buns. They're a bit cold now, but we'll have to make do with them!"

Wang Wei's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing these words.

Still want to make do?

Look at the meat and vegetables you bought, and you still have the nerve to say you're just making do.

So what did he mean by just having a bowl of plain noodles? Was it just a makeshift solution?

The fire is lit, the iron pot is set up, the vegetables are washed, the water is boiled, and the hot pot base is added. Due to limited conditions, there is no way to stir-fry, but it doesn't have a big impact.

The flavor is coming out.

Then, everyone else looked over.

Lu Yuanqing swallowed hard, looked at Wang Wei, and pointed to the hot pot, saying, "Manager Wang, what I want to say is that you need to clearly demonstrate any good thing, so that people know the true value of it."

Wang Wei sniffed and asked, confused, "What do you mean?" Their hot pot base is right here, you can see it at a glance, what else do you need to show it?

Lu Yuanqing: "Simply put, what attracts me most about hot pot is not the broth, but the aroma it releases after it boils, which stimulates my taste buds and makes me want to eat it!"

Wang Wei was startled, as if he had understood something, and stared at Lu Yuanqing with his mouth agape.

After Lu Yuanqing saw that he had figured it out, he smiled and said, "We borrowed this stove, coal briquettes, and iron pot from others. We can only lend them to you for an afternoon. You'll have to figure out how to get them for tomorrow."

After saying that, Lu Yuanqing turned around and surrounded them.

The aroma was incredibly enticing, and the hungry group stared with shining eyes at the bubbling red broth in the pot.

Each person holds a bowl in their left hand and chopsticks in their right. The moment the food is cooked, everyone simultaneously dips their chopsticks in.

The fact that Lu Yuanqing was able to come up with this idea wasn't because he was particularly clever.

It's not that he's seen it all before.

In my past life, when I went on a trip, I wanted to buy some things, so I went to the supermarket.

There was someone in the supermarket who had a designated spot where he cooked hot pot on an induction cooker.

As soon as he entered, he smelled the aroma of hot pot, so enticing that he couldn't ignore it.

Supermarket clerks cook vegetables and meat on an induction cooker, scoop them into disposable cups, insert toothpicks, and hand them to passersby.

That's the kind of effect I'm looking for!

Others may not know, but after Lu Yuanqing tasted it, he put two bags of hot pot base in his shopping cart.
