Hotpot restaurant treats city sanitations to lunch

A hotpot restaurant in Chengdu closed at noon on Thursday to provide a free banquet to 180 sanitation workers, West China Metropolis Daily reported.

We hope to bring them warmth in this cold winter, and also we wanted to sincerely apologize for bringing inconvenience to the workers as many promotional leaflets were dropped in the street when we started our restaurant, said Mr Li, who was responsible for this invitation.
