The night returned to tranquility.
April and May, draped in black cloaks, stood on the street.
April, frustrated, was on the phone with March, "Boss, why don't you send some more people over? We've been working overtime way too often lately. We were just eating hotpot when suddenly, this high-level battle broke out, and we didn't even finish our meal..."
March asked, "Which hotpot restaurant was it?"
April recalled, "The Fuweiju on Lindong Road in the Fourth Area."
March said, "That place isn't tasty. Next time go to the Monster Hotpot Restaurant across the street; they don't reuse old pot bases, and they're more generous with the spices."
Nowadays, condiments in the Federation are very expensive, and most businesses are reluctant to use too much. One pound of synthetic protein costs four dollars, but a pound of scallions, ginger, or garlic might cost several dozen dollars.
