Chapter 35 Fishing(1/2)

Capital.

Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion.

In the evening, Shangshu Tang Duo dragged his tired body back to his mansion.

Due to the recent headache of raising military rations at the end of the year, Tang Duo's entire face was drawn and he couldn't see his smiling face for several days.

But as soon as he walked into the house, a refreshing fragrance hit his nostrils. This kind of smell was something he had never smelled before.

"Master, you are back."

At this time, the housekeeper heard the noise and hurriedly came out of the house while wiping his mouth.

"What's going on? Why is there a strange smell all over the yard? Is it some new dish that Madam has developed?"

Tang Duo frowned slightly and asked curiously.

Due to the complicated political affairs recently, he had been feeling depressed, but when he suddenly smelled this novel smell, his whole mood suddenly improved for some reason, and his appetite increased greatly.

"Reporting to the master, this is the smell of Changsheng pot."

The butler replied with a smile while sucking on the hazelnut.

"Changsheng pot? Is it the Changsheng pot that has been promoted everywhere in the capital recently?"

Tang Duo asked curiously.

"That's right, sir, there is something called an event in Hongbin Tower these days. As long as you are a prince or nobleman in the capital, anyone who buys a Changsheng pot is buy one and get one free. After hearing about it, Madam ordered her servants to buy the goods.

But when Hong Binlou heard that I was from the master's house, he bought one and got two free, and brought two cars back."

"Madam is considerate of the servants and specially shared a pot with all the servants in the house. It tastes really good."

The housekeeper wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said with a naive smile.

"Look at you looking like you haven't eaten in three days. Is this food really that delicious?"

Tang Duo glanced at the housekeeper with a look of disgust and said angrily.

"Hey, I will know if it tastes good or not. I guarantee you won't regret it after you taste it."

The butler said without hesitation.

"Okay, I got it. It's okay. Let's go back and eat."

Tang Duo shook his head and walked straight to the main hall with a look of disgust.

...

After a long time.

The main hall of the Tang Dynasty.

"good!"

"tasty!"

Tang Duo slapped his chopsticks on the dining table and said with a smile on his face.

He didn't take Changsheng Hotpot seriously at first, but he ate two of them!

"Master, am I right? This food is indeed delicious, much better than those delicacies from the mountains and seas! I want to eat it more and can't stop eating it."

Tang Duo's wife said with emotion and a smile on her face.

"That's right!"

"I didn't expect that such a cardboard box could make such delicious things. How wonderful!"

Tang Duo nodded, picked up the empty long pot, and nodded frequently.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Duo suddenly fell into deep thought and stared at the Changsheng pot for a long time without responding.

"Master? What's wrong with you? Do you want to eat another pot?"

Tang Duo's wife noticed Tang Duo's expression and asked with a smile.

"No, I suddenly had a bold idea, but this method is a bit risky, I have to think about it carefully."

As Tang Duo spoke, he stood up and walked to the study, looking thoughtful.

...

The next day.

Hong Bin Building.

"Young Master, the people from the Minister of War are here again!"

Pei Jie quickly came to Hu Fei's room in the backyard and said with a serious expression.

"How's it going? Did you find out anything?"

Hu Fei's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to ask.

"The man said that Tang Duo also ate it after he returned home last night, and he ate two pots of it in a row. No, he came to pick up the goods again today."

Pei Jie said with a grimace.

The buy one get two free deal made everyone feel distressed except Hu Fei himself.

"Here! Give as much as you want!"

Hu Fei smiled, waved his hand and said.

"Master..."

Pei Jie grimaced and stopped talking.

"Stop talking nonsense! Tell Xia Chan, I will make back the money you lost with interest soon!"

Hu Fei stared at Pei Jie and said loudly.

"All right."

Pei Jie agreed, turned around and left listlessly.

"Wait a moment!"

At this moment, Hu Fei suddenly called out to Pei Jie.

When Pei Jie heard this, he immediately stopped and turned to look at Hu Fei expectantly, thinking that Hu Fei regretted it.

"From now on, if you let the wind go, let's just say that the Changsheng pot has a long shelf life, is easy to carry, and is simple to operate. It can be said to be a must-have item for marching and fighting! If it doesn't work, let Mu Ping take people out to shout in the streets. I want to make the whole capital

Everyone knows!”

Hu Fei looked at Pei Jie, thought for a while and said.

"I understand, Master..."

Pei Jie nodded, turned and left.

Although he didn't know what the so-called single product was, he didn't break the casserole this time to ask the truth, because his heart began to bleed again.

Soon, in addition to the delicious taste of Changsheng Hotpot, news of its various advantages gradually spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, causing some passing merchants to come to the door one after another and rush to buy, preparing to use Changsheng Hotpot as rations when traveling through mountains and rivers.

.

The entrance of Hong Bin Building has gradually returned to the grand scene it was when it first opened, with people queuing up all day long to buy the hot pot from morning to night.

...

Two days later.

Hong Bin Building.

After the morning court, Tang Duo, who didn't even bother to visit the Ministry of War, came to Hongbin Tower wearing official uniform and claimed that he wanted to see Hu Fei.

After Hu Fei heard about it, he immediately asked Pei Jie to take Tang Duo to the backyard room.

"I didn't know that Mr. Tang, the Minister of War, arrived and was not welcomed from afar. Mr. Tang came to my small restaurant wearing official uniform and really made the place shine!"

Hu Fei looked at Tang Duo who came in from the door, stood up, cupped his hands and said.

"You are the prime minister's son, Mr. Hu Fei?"

Tang Duo cupped his hands and asked slowly.

"Exactly, Mr. Tang, please take a seat."

Hu Fei nodded and asked Tang Duo to take a seat.

"I wonder why Mr. Tang suddenly came here today?"

Hu Fei looked at Tang Duo and asked knowingly.

He had already expected that Tang Duo would come, but at this time he pretended to be unaware and remained calm at all.

“I’ve eaten Changsheng Hotpot several times recently and it tastes really good.”

Tang Duo looked at Hu Fei and said with a smile.

"Master Tang, thank you for the prize. If you like it, you can take some back later. It's a gift from this young master."
