After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 423 Hot Pot Restaurant Promotions

Su Xiaoxiao saw a glimmer of hope in Liu's eyes. Could it be that she had the same idea as the village head?

Although Liu moved out of the house, she did not divorce Su Xiangdong and was still nominally Su Xiangdong's wife.

If Su Xiangdong can reform his ways, Liu can use this as an excuse to go home with him.

No matter how well she lived outside, Liu still felt like she was adrift and longed to go home.

Only Xiao Taohua truly understands her father. Xiao Taohua thought to herself, even if she were to open this hot pot restaurant for him, with her father's incompetent personality, could he really run it successfully and live up to Su Xiaoxiao's expectations?

Little Peach Blossom thought to herself, "I don't think so."

The dinner party ended amidst laughter and joy, and everyone was very grateful for Su Xiaoxiao's hospitality.

After everyone left, Su Xiaoxiao asked Su Ping'an what he thought of the villagers' suggestion to open a hot pot restaurant.

When Su Pingan was asked the question, Su Xiaoxiao clearly saw his eyes light up.

Su Ping'an never wished that his good-for-nothing second brother, who was always causing trouble for their family, could get back on his feet.

"Xiaoxiao, I think if possible, we should give Second Brother a chance this time. Now that Fourth Brother is dead, it's just the three of us left. Eldest Brother has a proper job, and he's doing it better and better. But Second Brother just stays at home doing nothing, always getting into trouble. He's a ticking time bomb. This won't do. We should let him learn something. Before, Second Brother cooked more of the meals at home, and he's quite good at it. His cooking is delicious, and everyone in the family has seen that."

Su could see that Su Ping'an genuinely hoped this matter could be accomplished.

He also hoped that his brother could have a better future, so Su Xiaoxiao felt that this was a feasible idea.

“That’s what I think too. I’ve taken care of everything for my second brother, including the hot pot recipe and renting the shop. He just needs to focus on opening the shop.”

Su Ping'an truly admired Su Xiaoxiao, feeling that he had married a fairy descended from heaven, who considered everything for him so thoroughly.

He couldn't resist coming over to snuggle up to Su Xiaoxiao and whispered his love to her.

"Xiaoxiao, you're so kind!"

Su Ping'an certainly wouldn't be like a modern person, going straight over to Su Xiaoxiao's cheek, kissing her, and saying, "I love you!"

In that case, it would be as sweet as a tender and moving love confession.

Actually, how could Su Xiaoxiao not hate Su Xiangdong for ruining her chili field? This debt would be settled sooner or later.

But seeing Liu Shi getting thinner and thinner, I knew that Liu Shi was still thinking about Su Xiangdong at home. After all, he was still the husband she had followed. It's understandable that Liu Shi, a woman, had her own home but didn't go back.

Su Xiaoxiao did this entirely for Liu's sake; otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of helping her enemy open a hot pot restaurant.

She acted on her idea immediately. First, she found a good location for the store. It was all a matter of chance; any location in town with good foot traffic would be enough to generate a lot of sales.

The tables and chairs for the hot pot restaurant were readily available, as this restaurant had previously been a chain restaurant. The tables and chairs were already in place, and the equipment inside was also complete, so there was no need to buy anything else. Su Xiaoxiao helped arrange the hot pot pots and stoves, which were all custom-made by Wang Er.

In addition, Su Xiaoxiao offered Su Xiangdong some modern management tips for his hot pot restaurant, such as promotional activities and free samples. She hoped that Su Xiangdong could successfully run the restaurant despite the initial difficulties and not embarrass himself.

The hot pot restaurant opened quickly, and Su Ping'an and Tang Xiaoman went over to help Su Xiangdong for a while. After a while, Old Mrs. Wang and her daughter Su Xiuer also went over, probably wanting to help out as well.

However, Su Xiaoxiao didn't see them helping her. Instead, she wandered around for a while after entering, and then hurriedly found a table to sit down.

The hot pot restaurant staff haven't arrived yet, and it's not lunchtime.

So Su Xiuer called out to Su Xiangdong, "Second brother, hurry up and serve me and Mom a hot pot. We'll help you test the broth to see if it's good!"

The two women saw Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ping'an, but instead of greeting them, they chose to ignore them. Instead, they acted as if they were important, wanting to try the broth first.

There were also young men hired by Su Xiangdong here, who, under Su Xiangdong's direct instructions, began to serve Old Madam Wang and Su Xiuer.

Everyone knew that these two people were Su Xiangdong's biological mother and sister, so naturally no one dared to neglect them.

This restaurant is located near other restaurants, but it is different from other restaurants because it mainly serves hot pot, which is the first of its kind in the town.

This restaurant only serves hot pot, so it's quite unique in town, attracting many people to stop and watch. However, no one actually goes inside; they all just observe from the outside.

Everything was still there, but the guests hadn't arrived yet, which made Su Xiangdong quite anxious.

The special spicy hot pot that Mrs. Wang and her daughter ordered was already steaming hot, and they were about to start eating.

Su Xiaoxiao thought that this was a good opportunity to organize a tasting event.

Su Xiangdong had completely forgotten all the business tips he had been taught before.

Now he looked at the shop with a helpless expression. There were people standing outside watching, but no one came in.

Su Xiaoxiao walked to the store entrance and called out to the onlookers, "On our first day of opening, we're having a free tasting event! The hot pot inside is ready, so everyone is welcome to come in, take a look, and try it out. It's all free! Come on in!"

Su Xiaoxiao's call at the door attracted several middle-aged women who loved to join in the fun. They rushed in as soon as they smelled the aroma of hot pot.

Just as Old Mrs. Wang and Su Xiuer were starting their hot pot and putting slices of meat into the pot, Su Xiaoxiao ordered the waiter to bring some tasting bowls and chopsticks.

Su Xiaoxiao scooped out the slices of meat that Grandma Wang had cooked in the pot, put them in a bowl, and handed it to an older woman who was already drooling with desire. "Have a taste, ma'am?"

The woman accepted the bowl and chopsticks without hesitation; the hot pot meat she took was simply divine. After tasting it, she couldn't help but praise it.

"It's so delicious! I've never eaten such delicious meat before!"

The other middle-aged women also pounced on them like wolves, but Su Xiaoxiao said to them, "Everyone gets one, no rush!"
