Da Song Private Investigator

The winter in Chang'an is getting colder and colder, and since this morning, there has been heavy snowfall in Chang'an.

The snow was heavy, and Hwarang could not help but sing a poem written by Bai Juyi, "Ask Liu Nineteen":

Green Ant New Distillery, red clay small stove.

If you come to the sky late to snow, you can drink a cup of nothing

It was snowing in Chang'an at this time, but if a friend came, Hwarang would have to ask if he could have a drink, but in Chang'an City, although Hwarang was famous, there were not many people who could truly be called friends. people.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and soon the courtyard, streets, and roofs were all white, and a few birds that hadn't returned to their nests were flying around in the snow, as if they were looking for the last food.

The windows in the house are closed, but the door is open. Occasionally, a gust of cold wind will blow in, but everyone doesn't care, because in front of everyone, there is a pot of steaming hot pot, and the fragrance of the hot pot makes everyone feel It wasn't cold, the wind that was blowing only brought coolness to everyone.

And when everyone was eating hot pot in the house, a servant came to report in a hurry, telling the big news.

In Hwarang's eyes, only the murder case is a big deal, but the person who came here was a servant in his inn, not a yamen servant, so the big things that this servant said were small things to Hwarang.

"What happened?" Hwarang put down his chopsticks and asked.

"Young man, it's like this, today we went to deliver hot pot base ingredients to other branches, but the shopkeepers of those branches said that they don't need us to improve the hot pot base ingredients, and from now on, they will no longer cooperate with us. "

"What, no more cooperation?" Everyone couldn't believe it was true, because they knew very well that the cooperation between the two parties made the businesses near Chang'an City a lot of money, but now they no longer cooperate. Isn't it just letting the free money not make money?

But Hwarang knows very well that these businessmen are not fools, they will never say that they are not making money, and what they said is absolutely impossible to be a joke, so Hwarang can be sure that there must be something wrong with them. What, otherwise these things would never have happened.

"But I asked why the owners of those inns stopped cooperating?"

"I asked, and they said they can make their own hot pot base, and they don't need our hot pot base anymore!"

"Can they make their own hot pot base?" Everyone was surprised again. The hot pot base requires a lot. Even if they can taste a few flavors, they are unlikely to eat all of them. So, are they How did you know how to make the hot pot bottom material?

At this time, everyone no longer wants to eat hot pot. If these people stop cooperating with them, then it may be impossible for them to make money. Everyone cast their eyes on Hwarang. Hwarang didn't say a word at first, but after a long time Suddenly he ordered to the servant: "Go to the inn immediately to investigate and see if anyone who made the base material has left?"

After the servants took the order, they retreated immediately, and at this time, Hua Lang ordered all the servants in the mansion to be recruited, and said to them: "You go out of the city immediately, and buy all the hot pot ingredients that can be bought within a hundred miles. Buy all the raw materials, buy as much as you can, and buy it at all costs.”

After those people took orders, they left the city one after another, and after these people left the city, Hwarang said to Yin at a loss: "After tomorrow, spread the raw materials of the hot pot base, and let as many people know the better."

After Hwarang said this, Yin Wuzuo, Wen Meng and the others looked at each other, they couldn't believe their ears, did Hwarang say what they just said?Is he stupid? How can he tell the world about such a secret recipe? If many people know how hot pot is made, how will they sell the hot pot in Ziqi Donglai Inn?What about those hot pot bottom ingredients? Now that the branches don’t need their hot pot bottom ingredients, their shops must have squeezed a lot of hot pot bottom ingredients.

Everyone looked at Hwarang with incomprehensible eyes, but Hwarang just smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, you will know what's going on in time, and because of this incident, we will make a lot of money." Pens, it earns more than opening a branch with other people for a year.”

Speaking of this, Hwarang suddenly said to Yin at a loss: "The secret recipe doesn't have to be revealed, it has to be sold, the price doesn't have to be too high, but it can't be sold blatantly, if many people know it, then it won't be sold well. Here comes the price."

Everyone didn't expect Hwarang to think of selling the secret recipe, but just now Hwarang also said that he has his own way, everyone shrugged, and they had to do what Hwarang said.

When everyone was ready, Wen Meng asked, "What about the backlog of hot pot ingredients in the store?"

"Put it in a pot and boil it until the hot pot bottom material is solid outside the city. It becomes solid and easy to cool, and then it is packaged and sold!"

"That's okay too?"

"Of course, if we sell small packets like this, those people who want to eat hot pot don't have to go to the store. They only need to come to our store to buy a packet of hot pot base ingredients."

Hwarang has never missed what Hwarang said, and everyone is quite confident in his words, so even if they don't understand what Hwarang wants to do now, they still do what Hwarang said.

They boiled and cooled the remaining hot pot base first, and then packaged it, but they were not in a hurry to sell it, because Hwarang said that the time was not yet ripe.

The next day, Yin Wuzuo and others went to the street to sell the secret recipe of hot pot bottom ingredients. The secret recipe of hot pot bottom ingredients is a very mysterious place. Now that someone comes out to sell it, those people are naturally ecstatic to buy it.

However, Yin Wuzuo only sold it for one day, because after one day, people in the whole Chang'an city were selling the secret recipe of hot pot base, but at this time, the secret recipe was no longer worth much, and two days later, all the people in Chang'an city Almost everyone knows the secret recipe of hot pot bottom material.

After knowing the secret recipe of the hot pot base, the prefectures and counties near Chang'an City also spread rapidly. Then, there were suddenly many hot pot restaurants in Chang'an City and nearby counties, and hot pot restaurants sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

After so many hot pot restaurants opened, the demand for raw materials for hot pot bases suddenly increased many times. However, when these people took money to buy hot pot bases, they found that all nearby shops selling hot pot bases, those All the bottom ingredients have been bought up. Now, if you want to sell hot pot bottom ingredients, you have to travel a long distance to do so. But now in the severe winter, how can they go further to buy goods?

When Wen Meng and others saw this situation, they suddenly understood what Hwarang meant.
