The Liuji store in the south of the city was not big, but the workshop behind the store was not small. It took up a large yard.
The two sides of the courtyard were filled with the tools used to make the base of the hot pot, and there was a wide aisle in the middle.
A shop assistant led the three of them to the door and shouted, " "The three honored guests invited by the owner, please receive them well."
Immediately, another waiter came over with a warm smile. He respectfully led the three people into the room and said, " "Our boss would like to treat three distinguished guests to a meal. We are currently preparing, so please wait a moment."
As he spoke, he led the three of them to the hall and had them sit down. Then, someone brought out plates of preserved fruits, peanuts and melon seeds, fresh melon fruits, and a large cup of iced sour plum soup.
