Beijing, Changxi Road, Shu Flavor Hot Pot Restaurant.
Food was the most important thing to the people. Most Chinese people were foodies, so the domestic food industry was particularly developed. It was unparalleled in the world. As long as there was a restaurant with a little specialty, whether it was a big restaurant or a small restaurant, there would always be a lot of customers.
In recent years, the most special hot pot in Shancheng had become popular all over the country. Many hot pot restaurants with Sichuan characteristics had opened in the capital, and their business was also booming.
Although Sichuan hot pot was very different from the beef and mutton hot pot that northerners often ate, people from all over the country gathered in the capital, plus tens of millions of tourists every year, so there was no lack of customers.
Moreover, spicy hot pot was poisonous. Once you liked it, you would be poisoned and want to eat it every few days.
The Shu Flavor Hot Pot Restaurant chain had been in the capital for only half a year, and it had already opened three branches. There were so many customers that there was basically no free time, especially since the beginning of winter. If customers arrived late, there would be no seats at all and they could only wait in the lounge outside.
Today was the Lunar New Year. The temperature in the capital had dropped sharply a few days ago, and it had snowed several times in a row. It was so cold that even a drop of water would turn into ice. At this time, it was really a good time to call three to five friends to sit in front of the hot pot and eat spicy hot pot.
Although it was already past eight o 'clock in the evening, the Shu Flavor Hot Pot Restaurant chain on Changxi Road was still booming. The hall was full, and there were even people waiting in the lounge to get a number. They were ready to eat dinner and supper together.
In the hall that was filled with the strong smell of hot pot, Meng Hu carried a hot kettle in one hand and a tray full of dishes in the other. He quickly and flexibly passed between the tables and delivered the food to the waiting customers.
After delivering the orders, he could finally sit in the staff room to take a breather and fill his already rumbling stomach.
The normal staff meal was around four o 'clock in the afternoon, but Meng Hu was able to work and eat, so an extra meal was necessary.
Although the extra meal in the evening was very simple, a big bowl of rice and mixed meat soup, Meng Hu was already very satisfied. Because the food and accommodation in the hot pot restaurant were free, he could basically save the money he earned.
Meng Hu and a few of his classmates had been in Beijing for almost two weeks. Their luck was pretty good. Due to a large number of migrant workers leaving Beijing to celebrate the New Year, various service industries were in urgent need of temporary workers, so they quickly found a job.
Including Meng Hu, there were five students from Hengyang Martial Arts School. Some were waiters, some were couriers, and some were delivery boys. Even though they were temporary workers, their wages were not low.
This was especially the case for delivery. The more deliveries, the more money they would earn. The salary would be doubled during the Chinese New Year. It was very tempting, but Meng Hu considered that he was completely unfamiliar with Beijing and did not have a good sense of direction, so he chose to be a waiter.
This job wasn't bad. Not to mention that food and lodging were provided, he could earn at least 200 yuan a day with double hourly pay. He could live in Beijing for a month and still have 5,000 to 6,000 yuan to send back home. He was already very satisfied.
"Tiger …"
Meng Hu had just finished the last mouthful of meat soup mixed with rice in his bowl when the door to the staff room was pushed open. Li Dongyang jumped in with a sneaky smile on his face. "I knew you were hiding here to eat alone!"
Meng Hu couldn't help but roll his eyes. "What?"
Li Dongyang also worked at the Shu Flavor Hot Pot Restaurant. According to him, brothers must be together so that they could take care of each other.
However, he chose to help in the kitchen, saying that he wanted to secretly learn some skills. Maybe he could open his own hot pot restaurant in the future.
In terms of quick-wittedness, Meng Hu was definitely not as smart as Li Dongyang.
Li Dongyang presented his phone as if he was presenting a treasure. "Let me show you something good!"
Meng Hu's eyelids suddenly twitched. He instinctively looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "You're crazy. You're watching this during working hours. Aren't you afraid of being caught and fired?"
The Shu Flavor Hot Pot Restaurant had good treatment, but the rules were very strict. Even temporary workers were no exception.
Li Dongyang snickered and said, "What are you thinking? Do you think I'm going to show you a porn video? If you want to see it, then I'll download it for you when I go back to the dormitory tonight … "
Seeing that Meng Hu's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, he chuckled and said, "I'm not joking. You'll know when you see it."
Meng Hu was very distrustful of Li Dongyang's character, but he still took the phone suspiciously.
As a result, he really wronged his good friend this time. What Li Dongyang showed him was not an indescribable love action film, but a video in the latest blog of Chen Fei Media!
Meng Hu gave up going home for the New Year and came to the capital. The main purpose was not to work and make money, but to participate in the talent show "The Eight Storms Meet in the Capital" that would be held after the New Year, so he was very sensitive to this news.
He and Li Dongyang both registered the account of Waves blog, and followed Lu Chen, Chen Fei Media, and even the blogs of Central Television. At the same time, they saved several related forums so that they could get first-hand information.
Recently, for the actor talent show of the movie "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", the official blog of Chen Fei Media frequently released news to maintain attention, but there was not much useful content.
But the video that was released tonight was absolutely the real thing. It was impressively the test process of the audition, and Lu Chen personally went to the test!
It was completely leaked by the official. It was really useful!
Meng Hu's attention was immediately attracted. He stared at the screen without blinking, for fear of missing the details of every frame.
Although he got the qualification to participate in the official audition, Meng Hu still knew nothing about the show. He only knew that he had to "pass seven stages", but he was completely unclear about what the "seven stages" were.
Now that the official video was released, if he did not take the opportunity to study it carefully, it would be equivalent to giving up the opportunity.
After watching the 17-minute video, Meng Hu was lost in thought.
Li Dongyang was a little uneasy and asked, "Tiger, how do you feel? Can we do it? "
"Of course we can!"
Meng Hu clenched his fist and said, "I can definitely pass these four stages!"
"But …"
He whispered again, "I'm afraid I can't be as fast as Lu Chen …"
The 19-year-old boy was a little depressed, because in the video, Lu Chen's skills and reflexes were amazing. He was not a layman, and he deeply understood the meaning of it.
Li Dongyang laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Who asked you to compare with Lu Chen? Is he someone we can compare with? We just need to be faster and better than other contestants. "
Meng Hu nodded.
But in this young man's heart, he regarded Lu Chen as his goal to chase after.
He wanted to be as fast and strong as Lu Chen!
