Chapter 128 Shocked Cao Ren

Fang Jie said: "General, this is the key to my coming today."

Cao Ren asked suspiciously, "Isn't the purpose of your visit today to cook some hot pot?"

Fang Jie: "Exactly."

Cao Ren: "Then what does this hot pot have to do with the [-] troops digging three feet to find you?"

Fang Jie: "Because at that time, only the Prime Minister, General Wen Ze, and General Zhongkang tasted this hot pot. After they tasted it, they agreed that an industry that could monopolize the big man's catering industry could be created."

"As long as anyone owns my hot pot recipe, they can make a lot of money every day. I was mistakenly arrested and disappeared for two days. The Prime Minister and General Zhongkang, General Wen Ze are so anxious to find me."

Cao Ren: "Are you telling the truth? Is it really so mysterious?"

Fang Jie said with a smile: "Jiangling is not far from Nanjun. The name of this hot pot must have been heard by the general, right?"

Cao Ren nodded: "I've heard it said that a meal of this hot pot costs ten gold, or even tens of gold. How can ordinary people afford so much money? In my opinion, you are in the wrong place."

Fang Jie smiled and said, "I think this place is pretty good. When I came to open a shop, I never thought of taking people's money."

Cao Ren: "Then I don't understand. If you don't take the people's money, whose money are you going to take?"

Fang Jie: "Whoever has money, I will search for it."

Cao Ren: "Then who has money?"

Fang Jie: "A great family."

Cao Ren couldn't help laughing, "The aristocratic family has money, but you can't find it."

Fang Jie also laughed, "That's why I came to find the general."

Cao Ren's face turned cold, and he said, "I, Cao Zixiao, enforce the law impartially, guard one side, and don't do anything to oppress the people."

Fang Jie said with a smile: "General, you don't have to worry too much. You don't need to oppress the people. You just need to name my restaurant, win over wealthy gentry, and bid for receptions. The general can also invest all the money to help me open the restaurant."

"After the matter is completed, the investment capital will be returned in full, and the profits will be divided into accounts."

Cao Ren: "Why is it only [-]%?"

Fang Jie: "I'm sorry General, [-]% is mine, and [-]% depends on whether you have enough face and how many gentry you have attracted."

Cao Ren was furious, and slapped his palm on the table: "Presumptuous! I will pay you to open a shop for you, and [-]% of the profit will depend on your face. Am I a beggar on my knees?"

"I am a dignified general of Zhennan, but I want to help you, a young man, to engage in selfish fraud. Come here, drag me out and kill you!"

Fang Jie was not in a hurry, and took out a golden object from his waist, "Don't be impatient, general, you might as well take a look at this first, maybe you will change your mind!"

Cao Ren thought it was just a piece of gold, and was about to yell at him, but saw that Fang Jie was holding half a tiger talisman!
Immediately, the expression froze on his face.

"How do you have the Lord's Tiger Talisman?"

Fang Jie felt that a tiger talisman might not convince him, so he took out the cloth bag he was carrying behind his back.

The cloth bag was opened, and a sword inlaid with gems was introduced into the drill.

This time, Cao Ren was completely overwhelmed.

Cao Ren turned pale with fright, pointed at the sword and shouted, "Qingzhi Sword!"

It stands to reason that for an ordinary person, even if you are a general in command of the army, at most you can get a tiger talisman, but this Fang Jie in front of you is actually holding two important treasures, the tiger talisman and the green sword!

This is a big deal.

The two treasures are in hand, which is equivalent to Cao Cao's presence.

Cao Ren couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and quickly got up and cupped his hands and said, "Oh, I didn't expect Brother Fang to possess both the Tiger Talisman and the Green Sword at the same time. He must be the lord's confidant."

"It's Cao Ren's eyesight that's dull, so brother Fang please don't take offense, haha."

Fang Jie waved his hand and said, "It's no wonder General Zixiao. General Zixiao has never eaten hot pot, so he naturally doesn't know how delicious it is."

"I have the seasoning in the carriage, how about making a pot now and letting General Zixiao taste it?"

When Cao Ren heard this, he quickly said, "It's very good, it's very good."

At that moment, Fang Jie quickly prepared a pack of seasonings, took out a large pot, and asked people to buy fresh fish, pork, beef, and some side dishes.

Cut fish, slice meat, and wash vegetables by hand.

He moved a special hot pot table from the carriage and lit the stove.

After a while, the aroma began to waft, and Fang Jie made another seasoning as a dipping sauce.

Immediately, the aroma filled the hall, and there were all kinds of fresh meat slices and vegetables on the table.

Cao Ren immediately looked at it in amazement, "Oh, Brother Fang's craftsmanship is really amazing."

Fang Jie smiled, thinking that the most powerful is yet to come, you will know after you taste it.

Inviting Cao Ren to take a seat, he said, "General Zixiao, please."

Cao Ren was invited to be seated, and first commented: "Let's not talk about the taste, just being able to eat around the stove in winter and dispel the cold is a must."

Fang Jie said with a smile: "General Zixiao is indeed an expert, this hot pot is suitable for eating in winter."

While talking, Fang Jie put all the plates of meat into the pot.

After a while, the thin slices of meat rolled up in the rich bone broth and cooked into a mouth-watering pinkish white.

Fang Jie first picked up a piece of fish, put it in the dipping sauce, dipped it, and put it in his mouth.

Seeing this, Cao Ren picked up a piece of meat and followed Fang Jie's example, dipped it into the dipping sauce, put it in his mouth, and then froze.

The wonderful taste melted in the mouth, and the fresh temperature dispelled the severe cold of winter.

Beads of sweat suddenly appeared on the tip of the nose.

Cao Ren was reluctant to swallow this piece of meat for a long time.

His eyes were fixed on the hot pot, he was very shocked.

Fang Jie was very satisfied with his reaction, and since the desired effect had been achieved, he smiled and said: "When the Prime Minister ate hot pot for the first time, he once said that this smell should only be found in the sky, and it is rare to smell it in the world. "

"I don't know how the hot pot tastes in the eyes of General Zixiao?"

Only then did Cao Ren react from the shock, swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth, and said with difficulty: "What the prime minister said is exactly what I thought in my heart. It is really a taste that should only be found in the sky, and it is rare to smell it in the world."

Fang Jie was very satisfied with this, and continued: "How much is General Zixiao willing to pay for this pot of hot pot?"

Cao Ren was shocked, very excited, "hardware, no, it's so delicious, even if it's ten gold, so what if it's a hundred gold!"

"To taste such delicious food, this life is not in vain!"

Fang Jie shouted: "Okay, General Zixiao is really a straightforward person. As far as I know, General Zixiao is also a person who enforces the law fairly and is honest."

"So general Zixiao and other honest people are willing to pay ten gold, or even a hundred gold for a hot pot meal, so will those aristocratic families in Jiangling be reluctant to part with that little money?"

Cao Ren suddenly realized, and said: "Brother Fang is not only good at cooking, but also has a meticulous mind and a shrewd mind, which Cao Ren cannot compare to."

"It's just that this general has always disdained dealing with these aristocratic families, so how can we let them come over to eat hot pot?"

Fang Jie said with a smile: "That's why I asked for the name of the general. I just need to put the name of the general on the plaque of the hot pot building. These aristocratic families are worried that they have no way to curry favor with the general, so they must come uninvited."

"We can launch auction sales."

Cao Ren was pleasantly surprised when he heard it, and asked quickly, "What is auction sale?"
