That day, on Mingyang Street in Anquan County, a new food shop opened. Because earlier the owner had hired a bunch of kids to advertise all over the county, pretty much everyone in town knew his place was opening today.
The shop had a very odd name, something like "Scooping the World," and word was it specialized in hotpot, though no one really knew what was special about it.
On opening day it was extremely lively. The owner had even hired dragon and lion dance troupes, drawing rounds of applause from the crowd.
After a while, Ye Qiu came out together with Jia Zhihe to cut the ribbon, briefly explaining the day's promotional deals. Some curious folks couldn't hold back and went in. Seeing the distinctive interior décor, experiencing the attentive service from the waiters, and smelling the mouth‑watering aromas, not a single customer who came in felt dissatisfied.
