In a small house in the wealthy area of Hongyuan City, Mu Shaodong from Hengtong Trading Company was warming up with a brazier in the house, his face full of contentment.
After completing this mission, he will return to Xuanyuan Tianzong. Compared with the bitter cold here in the Qiankun Empire, Xuanyuan Tianzong's warm climate, rich resources, and colorful entertainment projects are simply a paradise.
"I've been pretending to be Mu Shaodong for several years, and I'm finally leaving this shabby place! But... the food here is quite good. I have to buy the secret recipe when I leave. Those noble young masters from other territories should have already obtained it...
"
While he was thinking happily here, a young man hurriedly walked in with a panic on his face, bowed and said: "Master, something happened!"
"What?" Mu Shaodong's heart tightened and he immediately asked, "What happened?"
"The nobles who were rushing to buy and stockpile food have now sent the food out again and transported it all to the warehouse in Hongyuan City...Dingbei Hou also sent a message saying that there is enough food, so that the common people don't have to worry! And..."
"Huh!" Mu Shaodong let out a long breath, as long as his identity is not exposed, otherwise there is no chance of going back.
After waving his hands to interrupt his subordinates, Mu Shaodong asked again: "Why did these nobles suddenly make such a move? Have you asked?"
"After asking, Mo Hongxian gave all the secret recipes to these nobles in exchange for them selling grain at a fair price!" the young man replied. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Mo Shaodong interrupted him again.
"Mo Hongxian is really courageous, throwing away such a huge benefit at any time!" Mo Shaodong said in a low voice, and then said: "The main thing is that kid Jiang Xingchen. If it weren't for his secret recipe, this would be
There will be no twists and turns in the matter. He was the seventh legion’s medical supply last time..."
When he thought of Jiang Xingchen, Mu Shaodong was filled with hatred. If what happened last time had happened, he would have returned to Xuanyuan Tianzong long ago. Moreover, the blind man and others sent from Dongxuan Kingdom did not come back either. As a result,
You don’t need to think about it to know.
But immediately afterwards, the corners of Mu Shaodong's mouth suddenly raised again, and he said with a sinister smile: "Do you think that by exchanging profits for the nobles to provide food, you can quell the panic of the common people? How much do they have in their hands? The big ones on the market before
Some of them were snapped up by us..."
With that said, Mu Shaodong waved his hand and said to his subordinates: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. The food in the hands of the nobles is just to let Marquis Dingbei breathe a little easier!"
"Young Master, my subordinate hasn't finished speaking yet..." Only then did the young man have the opportunity to speak. He looked at Mo Shaodong and said carefully: "Not only did the nobles bring out the food, but there were also carriages and carriages brought from outside the city.
It has become a long queue with no end in sight. I don’t know how many there are... The warehouses in Hongyuan City are full, and they are still being transported in... Now many civilians who were queuing up to buy food have gone back..."
"I'm a fool!" Mu Shaodong jumped up, his facial muscles twitching: "It's over! The plan failed... Where did they get so much food..."
After being stunned for a moment, Mu Shaodong kicked his subordinate to the ground, then kicked him violently and cursed: "You're such a weak soul, you were breathing heavily when you were talking, you couldn't finish speaking in one breath just now!"
The subordinate held his head in his hands and was about to cry without tears: "I thought I was going to say it at the time, but you gave me a chance, and now you are beating me..."
Cursing secretly in his heart, his subordinate said: "Master, master, stop fighting... If not, let's encourage the common people to continue buying!"
"You are so stupid! Before, you were rushing to buy to raise prices and make money. If you were discovered, you would have something to say. Now, Marquis Dingbei is watching so closely. Do you want our identities to be exposed quickly?"
While kicking and cursing, it took a long time for Mu Shaodong to stop panting. Now that the plan failed, he would definitely no longer be reused in Xuanyuan Tianzong, and his life would be over.
If you don't go back, you must first find a way to reduce the losses. With so much food in your hands, you won't be able to survive in the Hengtong Trading Company. If you don't do it, your identity will be exposed.
After gently kicking the subordinate who was pretending to be dead on the ground, Mu Shaodong sat down, took a deep breath, and asked: "Now we have to quickly recover the losses. With so much food in our hands, Mu Shaodong's father will definitely transfer me back."
, this fake identity might be exposed... Is there anything you can do?"
The subordinate raised his head and glanced at Mo Shaodong. He endured the pain all over his body and stood up. He showed a flattering smile and said, "This is easy to handle! Master, it doesn't matter if Hongyuan City is not short of food. We can sell the food to the surrounding areas."
In other territories, with this kind of weather, other territories should be short of food, and food prices will definitely rise. In this way, not only will we not lose money, but we will also make a profit..."
Mu Shaodong looked at his subordinate blankly, suddenly raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and asked softly: "That's very good! Did I hit him hard just now? Are you okay?"
"It's okay, my subordinate, it's okay. The young master is not harsh at all!" The subordinate's voice was tired.
"It's okay! I haven't beaten him enough yet!" Mu Shaodong suddenly turned against him, kicked his subordinate down again, jumped up and stomped on him again.
"Are you a pig with brains? Send it to other territories so that I can stabilize the price of food for them! The transportation on the road alone can cost me to death..."
While Mu Shaodong was stimulated and furious, the young masters of the Wang family and other aristocratic children who came to buy the secret recipe also lost their temper, and the sound of smashing things could be heard in many houses.
Hongyuan City is not short of food now. All their food is in their hands. Unless the price is lowered, they will not be able to sell it. If they want to transport it away, as Mu Shaodong said, with such weather and such roads, the freight will have to be compensated.
Damn it! Even if they don't want to lower prices now, food storage is also a problem. If it gets moldy over time, there will really be no harvest.
In desperation, these people could only reluctantly take out the food and sell it at low prices.
But not everything is unsatisfactory. At least they can buy the secret recipe that they have been unable to obtain before. This is the only place where they can feel comfort.
When a group of people sold grain and left Hongyuan City, the young master of the Wang family comforted himself: "Mo Hongxian, didn't you sell me the secret recipe? I can still get it!"
But more than ten days later, when the news of the new dishes launched by the two major restaurants reached his ears, the young master of the Wang family could not help but curse again: "Mo Hongxian, I @#￥￥%..."
With the infusion of a large amount of food, Hongyuan City was completely stabilized, and everything returned to its original state. Due to the secret recipe being released, restaurants all over the city knew how to make steamed buns, and the reputation of the city of gourmet food not only did not change due to the food crisis.
The impact has become even louder. In such a cold winter, many foodies come here specially.
But this calm only lasted for a few days. The new dishes launched by the two major restaurants at the same time suddenly caused a sensation again.
The two dishes of soup dumplings and fish soup haven't even started to be officially sold yet, but many people have already reserved their seats in advance.
"Soup dumplings! Could it be that the soup is poured into the dumplings? What kind of way is this to eat? It's really weird!"
"What's weird? You'll know when you try it. The dishes launched by the two major restaurants have never disappointed!"
"The really strange thing is making fish soup. How can there be fish in such weather? And what is there to eat when making fish soup? The clear soup is watery..."
When many foodies were talking to each other, a truly shocking scene occurred. Du Rushan and the others drove more than 30 carriages into Hongyuan City, stopped at the entrance of two major restaurants, and brought down a large number of frozen fish.
"Boom~" Everyone who saw it was shocked. There were so many fish, which are not common in summer, let alone winter.
"There are really fish. How did they catch it? It's incredible!" This thought came to everyone's mind.
Even the Marquis of Dingbei, Zhao Danqing and his mother came personally to see these fish. Others didn’t know, but they knew that they were caught in one catch.
"I really want to open this kid's head and see what's inside. Thirty thousand catties of fish caught in one net, I feel fake even when I hear it!" Dingbei Hou sighed.
"This kid is really capable. The only serious thing that Zhao and his son have done in their lives is to make friends with Jiang Xingchen! Everything else is unreliable!" Zhao Danqing's mother said.
Dingbei Hou twitched the corner of his mouth twice, glanced sideways at that sturdy face, and said secretly: "The most unreliable thing about Zhao Zixiang is that he found a wife like you. I doubt how he can bear it..."
On the other side, Mo Hongxian, Wanrou, Zhao Danqing, Sun Sanqiang, Er Ge, and Lao Si were also stunned. Although they had known the result for a long time, the visual impact of actually seeing so many fish was still huge.
"This kid is too cheating! No, I have to go to Qingshan Village and see with my own eyes how so many fish are obtained!" Zhao Danqing murmured.
"Let's go together, let's go together, I miss this guy's cooking too... Ouch!" The second brother was excited when he was slapped back by Mo Hongxian.
"Second brother, you stay at home and watch while Wanrou and I go!" Mo Hongxian said calmly.
"I...you...are too bullying!" The second brother grimaced and wailed in his heart. The others covered their mouths and snickered...
There were more and more people on the street, and they were all amazed. Du Rushan and other members of the Jingtian mercenary group raised their heads one by one, accepting people's envious gazes, and the fatigue of the days of trekking disappeared.
When all the fish were brought into the two restaurants, people who had reserved seats in advance rushed in eagerly.
A month later, heartfelt praises continued to be heard in the two restaurants.
"This is a soup dumpling. It's absolutely amazing. How does the soup get into it?"
"It's so delicious! The meat filling is soft and has some texture, and the skin is as thin as white silk..."
"This fish soup is so fragrant. How did they make it so thick..."
Reviews from foodies spread quickly. For those who couldn’t reserve a seat, no matter how many days the reservation was, there was just one word: Book!
While the two major restaurants caused a sensation, people who often eat steamed buns discovered that the steamed bun shop also had something new.
