There’s Nothing a Bowl of Malatang Can’t Fix

Liao Yuan used to be a swaggering, larger-than-life man, wild and unrestrained.

Now he lives in an underground parking garage, devoting himself to making spicy hot pot. His shop looks like a shady establishment, and business is dismal.

But he still has an imposing aura, like a star covered in dust. The only person he likes is that ungrateful brat willing to bow his head for him and fall into the dirt. Whenever the brat sees him, his eyes go straight to him, and he doesn't care about his dignity or the shop anymore.

Zou Yuliang is the ungrateful brat known far and wide for thinking too highly of himself.

Sometimes he has an episode, and a good fucking sorts him out.

P.S. It's clearly a shady shop that devours ungrateful brats without leaving a bone.

"Brother Liao's cooking is freaking delicious!"

"Isn't he a chef? Of course it has to taste good! Would customers put up with anything else?"

"Bullshit. If you ask me, Brother Liao only cooks well when he's making food for that person!"

"So what kind of person is our sister-in-law?!"

Liao Yuan walks over with a cigarette between his lips, frowning and looking especially cocky. He gives each of them a sharp rap on the head and snaps, utterly impatient, "Get to work!"

Brother Liao looks especially handsome today.

Word on the street is that sister-in-law is coming to inspect the place, and Brother Liao has already burned three pots.
