Wen Meng's words are not bad at all, this time the dishes made by Hua Lang must be made secretly.

It's just that a lot of food, as long as the connoisseur takes a bite and takes a look, he immediately knows what the raw materials are, and he can quickly keep experimenting to renovate them, so if you want to make dishes that others can't replace, you must process and secretly prepare some materials.

After thinking about it for a while, Hanalang thought of hot pot.

Of course, there are many other things that Hua Lang thinks of, but he doesn't know so many secret dishes, so if he thinks about it, he can try the hot pot.

There are many raw materials for hot pot, such as Sichuan pepper, chili pepper, shredded ginger, etc., but there were no chili peppers in the Song Dynasty at this time, so Hua Lang had to find something else to replace this spicy taste, but fortunately, this substitute is not very difficult.

After several experiments, Hua Lang finally concocted the hot pot base, and after the base was ready, he first invited the guys and chefs at the inn to taste it.

After the hot pot base is boiled, the mutton and pork are cut into thin slices, and after the hot pot base is simmered, it is then dipped in the sauce, which is very delicious.

Wen Meng and the others ate it for the first time, and they liked it even more, but in order to prevent it from getting angry, Hua Lang did not let Wen Meng eat it continuously.

After the purple gas Donglai Inn showed the hot pot base, it quickly attracted a large number of guests, and for a while, the guests came like a cloud, which made Hualang and them make a lot of money.

Because the hot pot base is not easy to match, other inns can only stare dryly, and there is no way at all.

Life goes on like this, and what makes Hanaro feel strange is that since he started opening an inn, he hasn't encountered any cases.

Perhaps, he felt that he just stayed in the inn and didn't go out, where could he encounter a case, and besides, his fame is so big now that ordinary people don't dare to invite him when they encounter a case, so it has caused the current situation.

Hua Lang felt that he couldn't do this, he was ordered by the emperor to solve the case quickly, if the case was not solved, wouldn't he have failed the emperor? Of course, disappointing the emperor's grace is secondary, if someone uses this matter to embarrass him, he will inevitably have some trouble.

In the evening of that day, when the weather was not so hot, Hua Lang went to the government office alone, and he wanted to see if there were any difficult cases in the government recently.

After Li Jingan saw Hua Lang, he greeted him again and again, and said with a smile: "The playboy's business is booming now, and the official has always wanted to try it...... That hot pot, but the government has been busy recently, so I can't take care of it, how can the playboy have time to come to me today? ”

When Hua Lang heard that the government was very busy, he hurriedly smiled and said: "When is Lord Li free, you can take the brothers of the government office with you, all for free, I don't have anything to do today, I just want to see what Lord Li has been busy with recently." ”

Li Jing'an invited Hua Lang to sit in the living room, and said as he walked: "Now all kinds of trivial matters in the entire Chang'an City must be done by me, and I can't be sloppy at all, unlike a playboy who is happy and happy!" ”

Hua Lang is indeed quite carefree and happy, but he feels that everyone's life is their own choice, since Li Jingan has chosen to be an official, he has to accept restrictions and worry about the affairs of the people. If he hadn't chosen this path in the first place, it might not have been difficult for him to have a happy life.

Hua Lang didn't want to discuss these issues too much, and asked, "What case has happened in Chang'an City recently?" ”

"Cases are every day, but they are all trivial cases, and even I am handed over to the people below to handle them, where do you need to bother the dude."

As soon as he heard that there was no big case, Hua Lang was somewhat disappointed, and said: "Lord Li is not there, I have been staying at home for the past few days, I am almost bored to death, I want to do it early, but you don't have any cases here, it seems that I have to go back and continue to study the recipe." ”

Li Jing'an smiled: "The playboy has a business mind, and it's not bad if he can make money, if I encounter a big case here, I will immediately send someone to inform you, how about it?" ”

"That's the best!"

The two chatted for a while, and then Hanalang got up and took his leave.

And when Hua Lang returned to the backyard of the inn, he found that Cheng Bo was skinning a cow, and saw Cheng Bo skinning a cow, which made Hua Lang frightened, the law of the Song Dynasty clearly prohibited the killing of cattle, when he was in Tianchang County, Bao Zheng broke the cow tongue case, this Cheng Bo killed the cow, if it was reported, isn't this a violation of the law?

However, Hua Lang also knows very well that a butcher like Cheng Bo should be very clear about the law of slaughter, unless someone agrees, he will definitely not dare to kill cattle, and no one dares to sell cattle!

Cheng Bo saw Hualang coming back, and hurriedly got up and said, "Childe is back, you sit down and rest first, and when I kill this cow, cook some for you to taste first." ”

Hua Lang frowned slightly, stared at Cheng Bo and asked, "Who bought this cow?" ”

"This ...... Be...... It was Madame who bought it back! ”

When she heard that it was Wen Meng, Hua Lang's heart was shocked, this Wen Meng is a person who has experienced the cow tongue case, she should know the law of killing cows, since she knows, how dare she buy it?

Thinking of this, Hua Lang took a closer look at the cow, this cow is very large, it should have grown for many years, looking at the meat quality, it has not reached the point of old death, looking at it like this, Hua Lang felt even more heavy in his heart, and asked: "Is the cow dead or alive when it is bought?" ”

"Alive!"

Hua Lang didn't say anything else, and hurriedly ran into the house, when he entered the house, Wen Meng was chatting with Hua Wan'er, but when she saw Hua Lang's face, she suddenly became a little scared.

However, Hua Lang did not scold Wen Meng because of this, he knew very well that for women, angry scolding was useless.

Wen Meng saw Hua Lang, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Where have you been, I haven't found you for a long time, let me tell you, there is a person who came to buy a cow today, I saw that the cow was quite fat, so I bought it." ”

After Hua Lang listened to Wen Meng's words, he couldn't cry or laugh, thinking to himself, didn't Wen Meng realize his problem at all? Or does she feel that her current status is extraordinary, and it is nothing to kill a cow and break the law?

Pulling over a chair and sitting down, Hua Lang looked at Wen Meng and asked, "You didn't buy a cow, but how did you remember to kill it?" Don't you know that it is illegal to kill a cow? ”

Wen Meng didn't show a panicked look, only smiled lightly: "Of course I know that it is illegal to kill a cow, but after the cow is bought, we don't plow the land, why don't we kill it and keep it?" ”

Wen Meng's words were light, and Hua Lang couldn't help but sigh: "If someone reports that we killed the cow, there will be a servant who will take them away immediately, if this is the case, even if they can't do anything to us, it will be bad for our reputation after all." ”
