Chapter 174: Selling, but also tasting
Liu Xiangqin stayed there for a while, looking at the freezer that had been restocked many times, and an idea came to her mind.
Time passed quickly, and it was noon with the sun shining brightly.
By hiring two martial arts masters, Liu Xiangqin was rewarded with all-round safety and the ability to travel freely in the beast world.
She was not as cautious as before.
This time, she generously asked Zhuang Shou to help her put the induction cooker, a pot, and the fragrant beef hot pot base in the space to the left of the grocery store entrance.
The induction cooker is connected to a socket with an extension cord.
The Beast World Grocery Store now has electricity! No need to worry about power issues!
Zhuang Shou went in to wash the vegetables needed for the hot pot, as well as the various semi-finished meatballs and sliced meat that had been prepared and thawed.
The orcs gathered nearby, watching Liu Xiangqin's every move with curiosity.
They don’t know what Liu Xiangqin is doing, but they know that what Liu Xiangqin is doing must be something worth learning!
They need to open their eyes wide, watch carefully, and not miss any step!
Liu Xiangqin felt their gazes and did her own thing carefully.
Fill the pot two-thirds full with boiling water and add the shredded beef hot pot base.
The moment the beef hotpot base enters the pot and is heated by boiling water, a rich aroma spreads instantly.
"Wow! It smells so good! I've seen this little cube before and bought it once. I took a bite and it didn't taste very good. It also made my mouth full of oil. It wasn't tasty at all! It turns out it's supposed to be added to water. I misunderstood this little thing."
"Hahaha! When you bought it, didn't you ask Zhuang Shou? Zhuang Shou must know what it is and how to use it."
"That's hilarious. I bought it once. Zhuang Shou seemed to say it was hot pot base, so I put it on barbecue. It wasn't very good, but it tasted much better than just barbecue."
"Messenger! Can I boil this in water and drink it directly?"
Hearing the orc's question, Liu Xiangqin chuckled.
"You can't drink it directly. This is for boiling food. It's very quick, so you can wait and see."
Liu Xiangqin took the meat slices handed to her by Zhuang Shou and poured them directly into the boiling point in the middle of the pot.
Then pour in the different types of meatballs.
Add some washed vegetables as well.
The orcs' eyes were all fixed on the hot pot.
As the hot pot continues to boil, the air around it is filled with the rich smell of hot pot.
"I already had a meal this morning and was full! But smelling these aromas makes me feel hungry! I really want to go in and buy a big bun right now!"
"It smells so good, it smells so good, I can't help it. Messenger, can I eat with you?"
"How presumptuous of you to say that! How dare you eat with the envoy? The envoy has already taught us how to eat the hot pot base, and you actually want to eat with the envoy? You're truly audacious!"
"That's right! How can you have the right to eat with the messenger? Only the tribal leader and the witch are qualified!"
The orcs love to watch TV programs in their spare time. After watching them many times, some words gradually enter their minds.
Gradually, they began to apply the words that had entered their minds into their lives.
Instead, it makes them feel that communication is a very easy thing.
With these words, they can better express what they want to say.
"What are you talking about? Don't you want to eat with the messenger?"
It would be a great honor for them to have a meal with the mysterious messenger.
"I want to! But can these things be accomplished just by thinking about them?"
Such straightforward words made the other orcs not know how to respond.
"Ahem, ahem, everyone, please don't discuss these things. Look! The food in the pot seems to be cooked!"
Liu Xiangqin listened to the orcs' discussion, and without being affected at all, she used a bamboo scoop to put the cooked food into a plate beside her.
The orcs stared at the cooked food and swallowed their saliva again and again.
Several orcs really couldn't control themselves and their saliva kept flowing out, causing the orcs around them to burst into laughter.
Liu Xiangqin looked at the orcs who were staring at her with envy, and took out a pair of disposable chopsticks from the side.
"Anyone who wants to eat can come here. Use disposable chopsticks. Each person can only take one bite. You can only take as much as you want. You can't take a second bite."
As Liu Xiangqin spoke, she added a new round of meatballs to the pot, filling it up completely, which made the orcs look extremely happy.
Maybe it’s because they had the stomach stuffing before, so they like the feeling of being full.
The male standing in the front grabbed a pair of chopsticks. He didn't know how to use them, so he took out one and skewered the meatballs directly.
Two chopsticks are just enough to string two meatballs.
The male ate a meatball in one bite, chewing it in his mouth and mumbling:
"It smells good and tastes good too! I'm going to buy some right now! Hot pot base! Meat and these round things!"
After the male finished saying this, he immediately rushed into the grocery store. He had a lot of things to buy, and if he was a step late, he might not be able to grab them from the orcs behind him.
The orcs standing in front of the small table that Liu Xiangqin had temporarily set up tasted the delicious meatballs with hot pot base.
One by one, they rushed to the grocery store without saying a word.
There were also a few people who took chopsticks but didn't know how to use them. There were only a few slices of meat left on the plates, and they didn't know how to pick them up.
But in order to eat, they imitated the way the messenger held the chopsticks. Although they held the chopsticks in their hands awkwardly, they were still able to pick up the meat slices and put them into their mouths with difficulty.
After chewing it for a few times and showing a surprised expression, he also rushed to the grocery store.
Liu Xiangqin looked at this scene, and the corners of her slightly raised mouth curved even higher.
Most of the fresh and frozen meats purchased yesterday have been sold.
She had to hurry and ask Liu Yiyuan, who was currently at the Modern Grocery Store, to contact the wholesaler of frozen ingredients and have all the meat delivered.
During this period, most of the fresh meat is in the hands of merchants.
If you want to buy it, you have to spend more money.
Liu Xiangqin didn't let Liu Yiyuan buy it, but asked her to contact the wholesaler of fresh meat and prepare 5,000 kilograms of meat tomorrow.
Early tomorrow morning, ask the wholesaler to deliver all the fresh meat to Modern Grocery Store.
These weights are just what the Beast World Grocery Store needs.
Fresh and frozen meat are not sold in the apocalyptic grocery store yet.
As long as it is sold in the grocery store in the end times, sales will definitely double!
Currently, due to the addition of new meat, we are a bit short of manpower.
After this busy period, I will allocate a room in the Doomsday Grocery Store to sell meat.
