Seeing the silence in the court, Chang An was also very proud: "Hu Chang'an, please stop bragging."
"You see, it's not just me, but all the ministers in this palace have never heard of the fact that you can grow green vegetables in winter."
After hearing Chang An's words, Hu Changan was not angry, but smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Chang, as the saying goes, what you hear is false and what you see is true."
"Even if no one has heard of this, it doesn't mean it's false!"
"If you don't believe it, you can come with me to the hot pot restaurant I open to have a look."
"If there are no fresh vegetables in my hot pot restaurant, I would be willing to return His Majesty's inscription to Your Majesty as it is."
"But if you can eat fresh vegetables in my hot pot restaurant, then you must apologize to me in public!"
Looking at Hu Changan's vow, Changan couldn't help but flinch.
Looking at Hu Changan's angry look, it doesn't look like he is lying.
Does he really have a secret recipe for growing green vegetables in winter?
But today's Chang'an is already riding a tiger and it's hard to get off.
If he doesn't agree to Hu Changan's bet, the reputation he has managed to build as a loyal minister will definitely be wiped out!
So Chang An had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree to Hu Changan's bet: "In that case, then I, Chang An, will accept Mr. Hu's bet!"
"If Mr. Hu cannot bring out fresh vegetables, you must return His Majesty's inscription in front of me as it is!"
At this time, Li Shanchang, fearing that the world would be in chaos, said: "In that case, Mr. Hu, why don't you let us all come and see your magical hot pot restaurant?"
Seeing Hu Changan being questioned, as Hu Changan's old enemy, Li Shanchang naturally didn't mind adding fuel to Hu Changan's fire.
In Li Shanchang's opinion, it is absolutely impossible for Hu Changan to reverse the four seasons and grow green vegetables in winter!
Since it is impossible, then Li Shanchang will let Hu Changan embarrass himself in front of all the ministers!
When Hu Changan heard this, he also said to Li Shanchang generously: "In that case, then you all should come and see my hot pot restaurant."
"But there are only thirty seats in my hot pot restaurant for the time being. I'm afraid there won't be room for all the ministers in the court."
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also said at the right time: "In this case, let the officials of the sixth grade and above be sent."
"Each department has a minister and two ministers on the left and right. There are a total of eighteen people. Plus a few of our old guys, we should be able to seat them."
When Hu Changan heard this, he also obediently agreed to Zhu Yuanzhang's proposal: "Okay, Your Majesty."
"In addition to Chang'an Yushi, there are so many people, so my boss will treat them today."
"After all, today is also the first day that my Hu's hotpot restaurant opens, so it's good to get some luck."
Seeing that it was lunch time, the group of people walked toward Hu's Hot Pot Restaurant in a grand manner.
Soon, Hu's Hot Pot Restaurant arrived.
On the way, Hu Changan had already sent word that the hotpot restaurant would not welcome customers on the first day.
So there were no other customers in the hot pot restaurant at this time.
The waiters in the hot pot restaurant had already lined up in two teams, standing respectfully on both sides of the road.
Seeing Hu Changan and his entourage coming from a distance, the two teams of boys quickly bowed their hands and said, "Welcome our distinguished guests!"
Before opening the business, Hu Changan specially trained these boys.
Whether it is basic speaking skills or various services, they are extremely perfect.
At this time, even the extent of their bends was exactly the same!
This was also polished by Hu Changan who specially asked an etiquette teacher.
This gesture can express welcome to the greatest extent without appearing too deliberate.
When the ministers saw this, they couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
Let’s not talk about the food inside. Just talking about the service, it definitely gets full marks.
I'm afraid even the cleverest boy in their family is not as good at trouble as these people!
Amid the welcome from the servants, everyone entered the lobby one by one.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the interior decoration.
The windows in this hot pot restaurant are actually transparent!
Through the window, you can even clearly see the interior decoration of the hot pot restaurant.
Everyone has never seen such a transparent material!
Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was accustomed to seeing treasures, was suddenly shocked when he saw this glass window.
He has never seen anything so transparent!
Even the top-quality glass lamps sent as tribute from foreign countries are far less transparent than these windows!
Looking at everyone's amazed expressions, Hu Changan quickly smiled and explained: "Everyone, this is a new material I invented the other day, called glass."
"This glass is actually similar to colored glaze."
"It's just that this glass is more transparent than colored glaze."
"The current production of glass is not too large."
"When the production of glass increases, our Hu's Grocery Store may also launch other glass products. Please appreciate them all."
When everyone heard this, they were all very moved.
Such a transparent material would definitely be amazing if made into handicrafts!
They also want to own such a beautiful thing!
Liu Zhongzhi, the Minister of Rites, could no longer bear the excitement in his heart: "Shilang Hu, I wonder if you still have this window made of glass?"
"I would like to customize a window like this in my study at home. Is it possible?"
As a scholar, Liu Zhongzhi naturally loved reading.
But unfortunately, time makes people grow old, and Liu Zhongzhi's eyes are no longer good.
So Liu Zhongzhi could only read a book for a while at noon every day.
After all, other times, the light is too dim.
Under the layers of screen windows, not much sunlight can shine into the house, let alone reading.
Although Liu Zhongzhi also thought about opening the window directly, it is already winter!
If the cold wind blows for a long time, Liu Zhongzhi, an old man, will definitely catch a cold.
In ancient times, colds were not a minor illness.
In ancient times, medicine was underdeveloped, and colds could only be treated with traditional Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine has mild properties. Whether you can survive it depends on your physical fitness.
Liu Zhongzhi is already quite old. If he catches a cold and it lasts for less than ten days and a half, it is absolutely impossible for him to recover.
So Liu Zhongzhi could only reluctantly put down his hobbies.
Now seeing Hu Changan's transparent glass window, how could Liu Zhongzhi not be excited?
If this glass window could be installed in the study room, Liu Zhongzhi's reading time would definitely be greatly extended!
Some other veterans were also quite moved.
They also want to install this glass window in their home and enjoy the warm sunshine outside the window!
