Chapter 427 Playing
"Why did you order so many drinks?" Han Qiuyun didn't realize the seriousness of the matter and thought Li Shengli was wasting food.

"You don't know, just wait and see." Li Shengli was looking forward to what would happen next. He wanted to see others gasping for breath due to the spicy taste.

Han Qiuyun was a little confused, and soon the things that Li Shengli ordered came up.

Looking at the pot of red soup in front of them and the red peppers rolling up and down in the soup, Li Chengqin and Li Chengkang couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Was the pepper a bit too spicy?

Li Shengli made a sauce with sesame oil, oyster sauce, crushed peanuts, coriander, etc. and distributed it to the other three people.

Han Qiuyun and the two children took the oil dish handed over by Li Shengli, and muttered in their hearts, how can they eat this with peppers rolling around in the pot and their hands covered with peppers?

Li Shengli looked at the three people who were holding chopsticks motionlessly and began to demonstrate to them.

He first picked up a piece of tripe from the plate with ingredients on the side, and then put his chopsticks into the hot pot in front of him. There is a saying that goes "seven ups and eight downs". The tripe can be eaten after being blanched for ten to fifteen seconds.

After taking out the tripe, Li Shengli picked up the tripe with chopsticks and dipped it in the oil dish a few times, then stuffed it into his mouth with a satisfied look.

The taste of this hotpot is just right. Lee Seung-ri is not from Sichuan, so he can't eat spicy food as well as them. This slightly spicy hotpot tastes okay. If you want something a little more spicy, you can order a medium spicy one. If the spiciness is lower, Lee Seung-ri won't be able to bear it.

With Li Shengli's demonstration, Han Qiuyun and the two children also stretched out their chopsticks doubtfully. Could it be that this hot pot only looks spicy?
After putting the food into their mouths, the three of them chewed it twice, and the spicy taste came immediately.

However, the aroma from the spicy taste made the three of them unable to stop.

After swallowing it, the three of them started looking for water to drink.

Li Shengli smiled and handed each of the three of them a bottle of iced Arctic Ocean.

Han Qiuyun and the other two didn't bother to talk. They took the drinks from Li Shengli's hand and started drinking them.

"Hahaha, how is it, it tastes okay, right?" Li Shengli looked at his three family members with a sly smile on his face. This was just a little prank.

The three of them gasped and rolled their eyes at Li Shengli at the same time.

However, after drinking a few sips of ice soda, they all started to eat other food on the table.

After eating and drinking, the whole family was very satisfied.

"Dad, this tastes pretty much the same as what you made." Li Chengqin wiped his wet forehead, smoothed his sweat-soaked hair and expressed his opinion.

"I'm only good at cooking Sichuan cuisine, but I'm not sure that other people can make hot pot as good as them. And the key is that Sichuan hot pot requires local peppercorns and chilies."

Li Shengli knows a little about hotpot, but he doesn't know as much as the locals. People here have been eating hotpot for who knows how long.

After the meal, Lee Seung-ri went to pay the bill. When paying the bill, Lee Seung-ri specifically asked the boss who had the best hot pot restaurant nearby.

After hearing what Li Shengli said, the owner of the hot pot restaurant glanced at him strangely. Is this guy crazy asking a hot pot restaurant owner who has the best hot pot nearby?

Li Shengli didn't care about the strange look of the hot pot restaurant owner. People in this business should know which hot pot base tastes the best.

The owner of the hot pot restaurant said directly, "Of course my restaurant tastes the best. No other restaurant around here does better business than theirs."

Li Shengli also found that this was the only one with good business nearby. Although the hot pot here tasted good, it didn't reach the level of secret recipes that made people want to eat more. Li Shengli had experience in this kind of thing. He had watched a lot of TV dramas. The reason why he couldn't get the information was that he didn't have enough money. So Li Shengli used his money ability and took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket.

If this hundred dollars may not be a big deal decades later, it is a lot in this era.

After receiving Li Shengli's money, the owner of the hot pot restaurant quickly gave Li Shengli an address. According to him, this person had a secret recipe, but unfortunately, due to his old age, he was unable to do it. The other people in his family all had a decent job.

The most important thing is that working in the catering industry is really stressful.

After paying the bill, Li Shengli took his wife and children back to the house here.

"Dad, where are we going tomorrow?" Li Chengqin did not interfere in her father's business. They came here just to have fun.

"We are here to have fun. Tomorrow I will take you to see the giant pandas." Lee Seung-ri also became interested when this was mentioned. Who doesn't like black and white balls?

"Great, let's see giant pandas." Both children were very excited, and even Han Qiuyun's eyes were sparkling.

Li Shengli is here just to have fun in the early stages, and he can leave the subsequent work to his son and daughter. Anyway, he will not have to worry about food and drink in the future.

The family was tired after a whole day, so after washing up, they took a rest.

Li Shengli had a good rest, but unfortunately he heard the sound of someone getting up to go to the bathroom more than once during the night.

The next morning, Li Shengli got up early and went out to buy some breakfast, and also made some honey water for the three of them.

Looking at the three people who were a little depressed, Li Shengli smiled and said, "Well, if you can't do it anymore, just rest at home today."

"No." The three of them said in unison.

I have some minor health problems, but I have to walk around the street and see the giant pandas.

Li Shengli smiled and said, "Then come over and have dinner. After dinner, we'll go out."

Li Shengli bought relatively light food. Yesterday's hotpot was a bit stimulating for the three of them who don't often eat spicy food.

The four of them had a simple breakfast, then went out and took a taxi to the Giant Panda Conservation Base.

The three of them looked much better after they saw the giant pandas. After seeing the pandas, Li Shengli took them to eat some authentic Sichuan snacks.

At the end of the day, everyone's stomachs were full.

After playing for a few days, Li Shengli felt that it was time to get down to business. During these days, he went out to play and asked the locals which restaurant had the best hot pot base.

Lee Seung-ri wants to follow the Haidilao model, but the current per capita consumption is not that high, and Lee Seung-ri is unable to come up with that kind of business model. Besides, Lee Seung-ri is older now and doesn't want to go through so much trouble. He plans to teach this business model to his daughter.

By then, each of the three children will have a company, and no one will compete with each other. Lee Seung-ri has seen many people fighting over family property, and he doesn't want his three children to become like that.

By then, I will buy three courtyard houses, one for each of my three children. Even if I lose money in business, I will still have some real estate under my name, which will be enough to ensure that they will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives.
