As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store - Chapter 700

Chapter 700: Winter Must-Have: Hot Pot Lamb! (2)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

They soon arrived in front of a not-so-big house and stopped. Behind the house, there was a small mountain area.

Just as Tan Mingming was about to open the door to go in, he heard a few small tiger cubs’ mewing from inside, as if they knew Zhou Chao was coming.

“Listening to this sound, it seems like Little Shanjun is living a good life!” Zhou Chao said with a smile.

Jiang Li beside him already had an excited smile on his face. He was about to meet those adorable little tiger cubs!

The door opened, and the layout of the room was quite well-organized, with a room separated by glass and wooden boards.

Little Shanjun was lying on the glass, excitedly looking at Zhou Chao and occasionally letting out a few cries.

Seeing this, Zhou Chao’s lips also curved into a smile.

“Boss, Shanjun has been checked by a dedicated vet and vaccinated. You can play with it with peace of mind!” Tan Mingming suddenly said. He also noticed that his boss’s wife liked this little tiger cub.

“Well, you’ve done a good job!” Zhou Chao glanced at Tan Mingming beside him, surprised that he had thought of all these things.

As soon as the door opened, Little Shanjun ran out, circled around Zhou Chao a few times, and then jumped straight onto Zhou Chao’s legs, trying to climb up!

Zhou Chao laughed and picked up Shanjun. They exchanged a glance.

The little tiger cub stuck out its pink tongue to lick Zhou Chao, and its limbs

were kicking in the air. Jiang Li, who was watching on the side, squinted his eyes.

“How long has it been? You seem to have gained weight!” Zhou Chao smiled, rubbing the tiger’s head.

“Roar-” The little tiger responded, seeming to say that it was just growing.

Jiang Li couldn’t hold back his excitement, looking at Zhou Chao with a pitiful look, “Bro Chao, let me hold it for a while!”

“Sure, here you go!” Zhou Chao handed Little Shanjun to Jiang Li.

At first, Little Shanjun in Jiang Li’s arms was a little restless, but after sniffing around, it seemed to smell Zhou Chao’s scent on Jiang Li and calmed down.

Resting on Jiang Li’s big European-style sofa, its two front paws were still placed on top. Fortunately, Jiang Li was wearing a bit thick clothes; otherwise, it would have been a bit awkward.

Zhou Chao also noticed the little movements of Little Shanjun and jokingly tapped its head, “Didn’t expect you to be such a flirt!”

Tan Mingming and Lin Wu beside him turned around very consciously, pretending not to have seen anything.

After playing in the zoo for about two hours, Zhou Chao took a look at the other animals again and discussed some details that he hadn’t considered before with Tan Mingming.

Combined with the situation of the mountain where the zoo is located, Zhou Chao felt more confident in expanding and establishing an animal ecological park.

“It’s about time, Ah Li, we should go back!”

“Ah, are we leaving?” Jiang Li said somewhat reluctantly.

After spending two hours together, Jiang Li was getting more and more fond of the little white tiger.

“Yeah, it’s getting late. You can come over anytime you want to see it in the future!”

“Okay-”

Reluctantly, Jiang Li sent Little Shanjun back to its room.

After leaving the zoo, Zhou Chao and his companions didn’t hurry back.

Instead, they went to the five-star hotel in the club.

Originally, they were all prepared to go back, but Tan Mingming said he had brought in a batch of grassland sheep and wanted Zhou Chao and others to try the lamb hot pot.

Persuaded by Tan Mingming, Zhou Chao agreed.

Having lamb hot pot in winter is such a wonderful thing!

With Zhou Chao’s agreement, Tan Mingming was also very happy. He immediately arranged for it and specially selected a fat and juicy grassland sheep!

In the evening, in a private room at the five-star hotel, Zhou Chao, Jiang Li, Lin Wu, and Tan Mingming chatted and laughed, while the chef skillfully sliced the lamb meat on the side.

Zhou Chao dipped a piece of lamb into a bit of Kyoto’s special dipping sauce and ate it in one bite.

Tan Mingming beside him felt his heart tighten. If it didn’t taste good, his impression in his boss’s mind would definitely decrease!

Just when he was feeling anxious, he saw Zhou Chao nodding in satisfaction, “Although the quality of this lamb doesn’t reach the top standard, it’s still very good. The meat has a faint taste of grass, and there’s no gaminess!” Hearing this, Tan Mingming’s hanging heart also relaxed.

“You guys should try it too!” Zhou Chao also invited the others to taste.

Each person had their own small hot pot in front of them. Hearing Zhou Chao’s words, Lin Wu, who had been unable to hold back, poured a plateful and started eating.

Zhou Chao shook his head at Lin Wu’s enthusiasm, but he also poured a plate and started eating. When eating lamb hot pot, it’s best to eat it heartily, eating it piece by piece loses its flavor!

As a true native of Kyoto, Jiang Li poured himself a bowl of sesame sauce, paired it with two lumps of tofu, and some chive flowers, happily dipping the lamb.

For Zhou Chao, who had never eaten like this before, he picked up several pieces of lamb from Jiang Li’s bowl and tasted them. It was indeed quite good. Seeing his lamb being taken by Zhou Chao, Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao somewhat grudgingly.

A fat and juicy grassland sheep was eaten up by Zhou Chao and his companions. Everyone sat slumped in their chairs, not wanting to move.

After about half an hour of rest, they finally recovered.

Zhou Chao looked at Jiang Li and the others and said, “It’s getting late, we should go back!”

“Boss, how about staying in the hotel tonight and going back tomorrow?” Shaking his hand, Zhou Chao said, “It’s okay, it’s not far!

Seeing this, Tan Mingming could only arrange for the driver to send Zhou Chao and the others back.

Watching Zhou Chao and the others drive away, Tan Mingming muttered to himself, “After I finish building this zoo, I’ll talk to the boss and ask if I can go to other companies. Staying here for too long, my ambitious spirit is almost worn away by comfort!”

Although the golf club here can get in touch with many high-ranking officials and nobles, Tan Mingming himself knows that without the identity of the club manager, he is nothing!

As the saying goes, a person should aim high and water should flow low. With a better platform, he definitely wants to move forward.

He had talked to Li Lan before and roughly understood his boss’s industries.

They are involved in almost every industry, and he also knows his boss’s strong financial power.

Tan Mingming is still young now. He didn’t have the opportunity before, but now the opportunity is in front of him. He also wants to become a trendsetter in the business world, rather than just managing this small plot of land at the club!

Watching the car driving away, a glint flashed in Tan Mingming’s eyes, then he turned and walked towards his office!

The next morning, just as the sun was rising, Zhou Chao changed into sportswear and came downstairs.

Aunt Kuang, who was just getting up to prepare breakfast, was surprised to see Zhou Chao up so early.

“Young Master Zhou, why are you up so early? Are you going out?

“Oh, Aunt Kuang, you’re up so early too. I’m just going out for some exercise!

Zhou Chao didn’t expect Aunt Kuang to be up so early either.

“Young Master Zhou, will you come back for breakfast later?

Zhou Chao pondered for a moment and shook his head, “No, I won’t come back for breakfast. I’ll just grab something outside later. If Jiang Li asks about me, just let her know!”

“Alright, Young Master Zhou!”

Zhou Chao was about to leave when he stopped after a few steps, then turned back into the house and took the elevator down to the underground garage! Seeing his butterfly bicycle covered in the corner, he picked it up with one hand.

He rode his butterfly bicycle out the door. In the dim light, Zhou Chao’s bicycle looked like many glowing butterflies dancing elegantly, attracting the attention of many early morning exercisers.

After about an hour of cycling along the canal, the sky was completely bright. Zhou Chao looked around and realized he didn’t know where he had ridden to. Checking his phone, he found that he had reached near the West Lake Park, about ten kilometers away from where he lived!

Seeing that it was almost eight in the morning, he decided to have breakfast before heading back.

He found a lively breakfast shop near the park entrance, seeing many bicycles parked outside. He parked his own bicycle there and walked into the breakfast shop.

He ordered a basket of steamed dumplings and a bowl of porridge, then started eating while browsing on his phone.

In less than 10 minutes, Zhou Chao finished his breakfast. After paying the bill, he leisurely walked out of the breakfast shop.

“Damn, where’s my bicycle?” Zhou Chao couldn’t help but curse!

The butterfly bicycle that was originally parked at the shop entrance was nowhere to be seen..
