Hidillao Tips

**Chronological Account Article**

At 11:30 p.m., G inquired whether I would like to take a leisurely walk with her and Z, who were engaged in conversation near the towering finance building. I readily agreed and swiftly concluded my dairy. However, upon my arrival at midnight, I discovered that they had already been engaged in an English conversation practice for a full hour. Z extended an invitation for me to join them, but I was utterly mortified at the prospect of speaking English in their company. It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck my mind; the situation was exceedingly nerve-wracking. Nevertheless, I acknowledged the necessity of practicing our language skills. Subsequently, we opted to head to "Convenience Bee." Suddenly, G proposed that we visit Hidilao, as it had been a considerable amount of time since our last visit. I was filled with excitement and exclaimed, "Let's go!" As we made our way there, a gentle, refreshing breeze enveloped us. Upon our arrival, we noticed a "Kaojiang" establishment situated adjacent to "Hidilao." It remains open until 2:00 a.m., and I harbor aspirations of dining there in the future.

That evening, Hidilao was bustling with patrons, primarily due to a live event organized by the renowned magician Liu Qian at the Exhibition Hall, which drew a substantial crowd of fans who subsequently flocked to Haidilao. Our intention was merely to savor some hot pot without overindulging, considering the late hour and the fact that Z and I had already partaken in spring pancakes at 8:00 p.m. We decided to order a quarter portion of the pot roast. We meticulously calculated that if each of us allocated 50 yuan for the meal, we needed to determine the appropriate number of dishes to order. Given that we had a 69% discount, we also had to deduct the 60 yuan for pot seasoning and spices from our total expenditure. After our calculations, we concluded that we could afford to order dishes worth 150 yuan.

Once the hot pot was served, we endured a considerable wait for the additional dishes. I voiced my discontent to the waiter and inquired about the remaining wait time. He profusely apologized and explained that the high volume of customers was causing delays in food service. Z contended that we had ordered an insufficient quantity of food, asserting that it was not enough. However, he later claimed to feel satiated after sampling a few items. Since two of our dishes had yet to be served, we inquired about their status. He once again apologized and, to our surprise, offered to provide us with a complimentary dish. Since we already had an ample amount of food, I suggested that he offer one of the dishes we had already consumed for free, and he agreed. I couldn't help but feel an immense sense of joy at this unexpected turn of events. I struggled to suppress my laughter, almost like a duck attempting to clamp its beak shut. The situation was truly amusing!

Z then requested watermelon from the waiter, who promptly served us two plates. When we asked for more, he generously provided us with an extra-large serving. Although we felt a bit awkward during the interaction, we were internally thrilled. In the end, we spent a mere 120 yuan but thoroughly enjoyed a delightful meal. OMG! We stumbled upon a tip: we could feign irritation over minor issues at Hidilao to receive better service. Haha, just kidding! The waiters were overwhelmed, making it challenging for them to attend to every customer. What an unforgettable night!

At 11:30 p.m., G asked me if I wanted to stroll with her and Z, who were talking near the tall finance building. I agreed and promptly finished my diary. However, I arrived at midnight, and they had already been practicing spoken English for an hour. Z invited me to join, but I felt extremely embarrassed about speaking English with them. It felt like a thunderbolt had struck my mind; it was quite nerve-wracking, but we definitely needed to practice. Afterward, we decided to walk to "Convenience Bee." Suddenly, G suggested we go to Hidilao since it had been a long time since our last visit. I was excited and shouted, "Gogogo!" As we walked there, a comfortable breeze wrapped around us. Upon our arrival, we noticed a "Kaojiang" next to "Hidilao." It's open until 2:00 a.m., and I hope to eat there someday.

That evening, there were many people at Hidilao because Magic Liu Qian had organized a live event in the Exhibition Hall, attracting many fans who went to Haidilao afterward. We only wanted to enjoy some hot pot without overeating since it was getting late and Z and I had already had spring pancakes earlier at 8:00 p.m. We decided to order a quarter of a pot roast. We calculated that if everyone spent 50 yuan on the meal, we needed to figure out how many dishes we should order. Since we had a 69% discount, we also had to subtract the 60 yuan in fees for pot seasoning and spices from our total. After our calculations, we concluded that we could order 150 yuan worth of dishes. 

Once the hot pot was served, we waited quite a while for the additional dishes. I complained to the waiter and asked how much longer it would take. He apologized and explained that it was a crowded day, which was causing delays in food service. Z argued that we had ordered too little, saying it wasn’t enough. However, he claimed he felt full after trying several items. Since two of our dishes still hadn’t been served, we asked the waiter about their status. He apologized again and surprisingly offered to serve us a dish for free. Since we had enough food already, I suggested he provide one of the dishes we had already eaten for free, and he agreed. I couldn’t help but feel incredibly happy about this unexpected surprise. I struggled to contain my laughter, almost like a duck trying to hold its beak shut. It was really amusing! 

Z then asked the waiter for some watermelon, and he served us two plates. When we asked for more, he provided us with an extra-large serving. Although we felt a bit awkward during the performance, we were excited inside. In the end, we spent only 120 yuan but enjoyed a great meal. OMG! We discovered a tip: we could pretend to be annoyed about some minor issues at Hidilao to get better service. Haha, just kidding! The waiters were so busy, it was hard for them to attend to everyone. What an unforgettable night!
