Shocking! This student is phenomenal!

"Okay, Brother Zhang!"

Huang Mao and Er Gou had been starving and hadn't eaten.

I was thinking that I could eat more during this free dinner tonight.

Go!

Zhang Liang gestured for the two of them to go inside.

He then went to a private room in a restaurant opposite the Jiangnan Hot Pot restaurant.

The private room was now packed with people.

It includes bloggers with millions of followers across the internet, as well as journalists, editors, and others.

When Zhang Liang came in, they all gave him a perfunctory smile.

Because Zhang Liang really went all out today, giving them an opportunity to create a trending topic and generate traffic.

They even gave each of them a large red envelope.

As the saying goes, people pay them to get on the trending topics.

"I'll have to trouble you guys with things tonight. Once that Jiangnan Hotpot restaurant goes bankrupt, I'll give each of you a big red envelope!"

Zhang Liang had a vague feeling that once Jiangnan Hotpot collapsed, the hotpot industry would no longer be his domain, and he could start making money off the ground.

"Absolutely! As long as everything you said before is true, getting this story trending will be a piece of cake!"

"Yes, Jiangnan Hotpot already has its own built-in audience. As long as our copywriting is good and our headlines are attractive enough, we won't lack visitors!"

"Isn't that obvious? The people at this table should be able to attract hundreds of millions of users, right?"

Hearing everyone's words, Zhang Liang's face beamed with satisfaction.

He looked out the window and glanced at the two figures who had already entered the Jiangnan Hot Pot restaurant.

He sat down confidently, poured himself a large glass of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and downed it in one gulp.

At this moment, in a Jiangnan hot pot restaurant.

Huang Mao and Er Gou were already drooling from the enticing aroma in the shop.

"Huang..." Er Gou wanted to call out to Huang Mao, but unfortunately, his mouth was full of saliva, so as soon as he opened his mouth, a bunch of saliva immediately sprayed out.

It was all over the ground.

Huang Mao didn't speak, but Er Gou uttered a single word and spat out a puddle of saliva. Of course, Huang Mao didn't dare to speak again.

The waiters at Jiangnan Hot Pot were very welcoming.

Immediately, someone came over with a mop and cleaned the floor, while another person personally led the two to an empty table.

"Gentlemen, what kind of hot pot base would you like? You can tell us what kind of hot pot base you want first, and we will prepare it for you. This way, you can order while waiting for the hot pot to boil."

The waiter said politely.

Huang Mao and Er Gou immediately sensed something was different. At the haphazard hot pot restaurant, everything was ordered at once. There was no such thing as ordering the broth first and then the dishes. It seemed that there was indeed a reason why it was so popular.

After the two ordered the hot pot base...

They got a new waiter to take their order.

Ten minutes later, the bottom of the pot was served.

The waiter warmly served each of them a bowl of rich chicken broth: "This is our Jiangnan hot pot broth. You can have a sip first to soothe your throat. The dishes should be served in about ten minutes. If it's less than ten minutes, please let us know."

"And sirs, if you would like some water, please raise your hand and call any of our servers. We have green tea, black tea, barley tea, chrysanthemum tea, and plum juice available for free and unlimited."

After saying that, the waiter left with a very comfortable smile.

Huang Mao and Er Gou were truly bewildered as they watched the waiter leave.

"Ergou, I think we should suggest to Zhang Liang that we eat here. I feel so comfortable here! The waiters' unhurried attitude is nothing compared to the rushed and impatient atmosphere at his 'makeshift hotpot' place!"

"I've actually thought so for a while now, and I'll definitely come back to eat here again. Just for the service, I'm going to be a fan!"

After the two finished speaking.

They exchanged a glance.

That's not right!

Aren't we here to cause trouble?

How did it turn into praising them? Saying you want to be their fan is simply disrespectful to Brother Zhang!

After thinking it over, the two of them slapped themselves hard across the face.

The people at the tables next to it were completely bewildered.

Is this a new way to eat hot pot? Slap yourself before the meal so you can eat more?

If Zhang Liang heard what these two people were saying the next second, he would definitely be so angry he would vomit blood:

"I'm such a jerk! Even with this incredibly fragrant hot pot in front of me, I was still thinking about Brother Zhang! I'm getting distracted while eating hot pot!"

"Let's eat first and then talk!"

So the two of them first downed the soup base that the waiter had served them.

"Wow! This is so delicious! I want another bowl!"

"Me too!"

A few minutes later, the waiter brought the food and discovered that the bottom of the pot in front of the two people had dried up...

He had no choice but to refill their tanks.

And they kindly reminded him, "Sir, this soup base is even more classic when paired with our meat and vegetables!"

An hour later.

Zhang Liang, who lives upstairs in the restaurant across the street, sensed something was wrong.

Before me, everyone had already finished eating all the food on the table, and tea had already been served twice.

Why haven't those two guys inside come out yet?

Has he been discovered? Has he been locked up?

Or did the person die from direct poisoning from the special brew?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder. Damn it, thank goodness it wasn't me going, it was them.

However, if he were in a Jiangnan hot pot restaurant, he would definitely be shocked by the scene before him.

They exclaimed in surprise, "What are you two?!"

At this moment, Huang Mao and Er Gou patted their round bellies and let out a satisfied burp.

"Er Gou, do you think we've forgotten something?" Huang Mao scratched his head in confusion, straining to keep his eyes open. He had eaten too much earlier and was now a little tired and sleepy. Eating his fill and then sleeping was simply pure bliss.

"I also feel like we've forgotten something." Er Gou picked his nose and glanced at the table next to him where people were packing up their leftovers.

He immediately said, "I remember now, we forgot to ask if we could take it home! This broth is so good, I want to take every last drop home; it would be delicious even just for cooking noodles!"

The blond-haired guy suddenly snapped out of his daze: "Oh right! I completely forgot about something so important!"

He gestured and said, "Waiter, I need takeout containers! Five, please!"

A few minutes later.

The two arrived at the door carrying two bags of soup base, a total of six boxes.

As for why there were six boxes, it's because after packing five boxes, there were still some left over, and in the spirit of not wasting anything, they asked for another takeout box.

The two people standing at the door seemed reluctant to leave.

But looking at the packing boxes in their hands, they felt a little more at ease.

But they still felt that something was wrong.
