Chengdu Wuhou District Da Long Yi Hotpot Restaurant,
Because it was the afternoon, still more than two hours away from dinner time, the restaurant wasn't busy with customers.
Now that summer had arrived, the heat had truly begun to rise. A middle school student in uniform walked out of school and into this hotpot restaurant, ordering the red broth base and casually drawing a few side dishes.
Soon, the broth was brought to the table by a waiter, and as it began to boil, the ingredients slowly melted away, with the unique aroma of hotpot gradually filling the air.
The student picked up a piece of tripe with chopsticks, dropped it into the boiling hotpot, waited ten seconds, then dipped it in sauce before slowly chewing in his mouth.
