The winter in Chang'an is getting colder and colder, and since this morning, Chang'an has been snowing heavily.

The snow was thick, so that Hualang couldn't help but sound a poem written by Bai Juyi, "Ask Liu Nineteen":

Green ant new brew wine, red clay small stove.

Late in the sky to snow, can drink a cup of no at this time Chang'an has snowed, but if a friend comes, Hua Lang has to ask a can drink a cup of nothing, but in this Chang'an City, although Hua Lang is famous, but there are few people who can really be called friends.

The snow grew heavier and heavier, and soon the courtyards, streets, and rooftops were all turned white, and a few small birds that had not yet returned to their nests flew around in the snow, as if searching for the last food.

The windows in the house are closed, but the door is open, and occasionally a cold wind blows in, but everyone doesn't care, because in front of everyone, there is a steaming hot pot, the hot pot is fragrant, so that everyone can't feel the chill at all, and the wind that blows only brings coolness to everyone.

And just when everyone was eating hot pot in the house, a subordinate hurriedly came to report and said something big.

In Hua Lang's eyes, only the murder is a major matter, but the person who came was a subordinate in his inn and not a servant, so the big things in the mouth of this subordinate were all small things for Hua Lang.

"What's wrong?" Hanaro put down his chopsticks and asked.

"Dude, that's the case, today we went to deliver hot pot base to other branches, but the shopkeeper of those branches said that they don't need us to raise the hot pot base anymore, and from now on, they will no longer cooperate with us."

"What, no more cooperation?" Everyone can't believe that this is true, because they know very well that the cooperation between the two sides has made a lot of money for merchants near Chang'an City, but now they are no longer cooperating, isn't this just letting the money go for nothing?

But Hua Lang knows very well that these businessmen are not stupid, they will never say that they will not make money if they have money, and what they say is absolutely impossible to be a joke, so Hua Lang can be sure that something must have happened in this, otherwise these things would never have happened.

"But why don't the innkeepers stop cooperating?"

"I asked, and they said they can make their own hot pot base and no longer need our hot pot base!"

"They can make their own hot pot base?" Everyone was surprised again, this hot pot base requires a lot, even if they can eat a few flavors, but it is unlikely to eat all of them, so how did they know how to make the hot pot base?

At this time, everyone has no intention of eating hot pot, if these people terminate their cooperation with them, then they want to make money, I'm afraid it is unlikely, everyone set their eyes on Hua Lang, Hua Lang didn't say a word at first, and after a long time, he suddenly instructed the next person: "You immediately go to the inn to investigate, and see who has left among the people who make the base?" ”

After receiving the order, the subordinates immediately retreated, and at this time, Hua Lang ordered all the subordinates in the house to summon them, and said to them: "You immediately go out of the city and buy all the raw materials of the hot pot base that can be bought within a radius of 100 miles, and buy as much as you can, at all costs." ”

After those people received the order, they left the city one after another, and after these people left the city, Hua Lang said to Yin Wuwu and them: "After tomorrow, spread the raw materials of the hot pot base, and let the more people know, the better." ”

After Hua Lang said this, Yin Wuqi and Wen Meng and the others glanced at each other, they couldn't believe their ears, was what Hua Lang said just now? Is he stupid, how can he tell the world about a secret recipe like this, if many people know how hot pot is made, then how can the hot pot in their Ziqi Donglai Inn be sold? What to do with those hot pot bases, now that the branches don't need their hot pot bases, then their stores must have squeezed a lot of hot pot bases.

Everyone looked at Hua Lang with an incomprehensible look, but Hua Lang just smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, slowly you will know what is going on, and because of this matter, we will make a lot of money, more than opening a branch with other people for a year." ”

Speaking of this, Hua Lang suddenly said to Yin at a loss: "The secret recipe doesn't have to be revealed, it needs to be sold, the price doesn't need to be too high, but it can't be sold blatantly, if many people know, then it won't be sold at a good price." ”

Everyone didn't expect Hua Lang to think of selling secret recipes, but Hua Lang also said just now that he has his own way, everyone shrugged their shoulders, and they had to do what Hua Lang said.

When everyone was ready, Wen Meng asked, "What about those hot pot bases that are backlogged in the store now?" ”

"Put it in a pot and boil it until those hot pot bases are solid outside the city, become solid and cool, and then package them and sell them!"

"Is that okay?"

"Of course it's okay, so that the small packets are sold, and 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 pack of hot pot base."

Hua Lang's words have never been missed, and everyone is quite confident in his words, so even if they don't understand what Hua Lang wants to do now, they still do what Hua Lang says.

They first boiled and cooled the rest of the hot pot base, and then packaged it, but they didn't rush to sell it because Hanalang said the time was not yet ripe.

The next day, Yin Wuxuan and others went to the street to sell the secret recipe of the hot pot base, this secret recipe of the hot pot base is a very mysterious place, and now some people come out to sell, and those people are naturally ecstatic to come to buy.

However, they only sold it for one day, because after a day, there were people in the entire Chang'an City who were selling the secret recipe of the hot pot base, but at this time, this secret recipe was no longer worth much, and two days later, almost everyone in Chang'an City knew the secret recipe of the hot pot base.

After knowing the secret recipe of the hot pot base, the states and counties near Chang'an City also spread rapidly, and then, there were suddenly many more hot pot restaurants in Chang'an City and nearby states and counties, and hot pot restaurants sprung up.

When so many hot pot restaurants opened, the demand for hot pot base raw materials suddenly increased many times, but when these people took the money to buy hot pot bases, they found that all the shops that sold hot pot base materials in the vicinity were all bought up.

When Wen Meng and the others saw this situation, they suddenly understood what Hua Lang meant.
