Like Kong Yingda, these officials drank a mouthful of soup and then stopped talking.
A moment later, the store exploded…
"My god, this, this thing is too delicious…Little shopkeeper, give me ten more baskets of buns.”
"Little shopkeeper, give me another five steamers."
"I'll have two cages too…"
"This way, this way, just three drawers…"
Kong Yingda peeled a Herbal Tea Egg and took a bite. There was no trace of fishy smell, but her mouth was full of fragrance. She couldn't help but say,
"Tearing off the cloud clothes, the fragrance assails the nostrils. Although this item is ordinary, after the little shopkeeper's skillful hands, it has indeed become a rare delicacy.
Your craftsmanship is probably comparable to the ancient Yi Yin. Even if it is passed down for several generations, it will not be able to eat it. This tea soup was really rare. The taste is also really amazing."
Cheng Yaojin said," That's true. Look at this small shop. It's different everywhere. It's so comfortable for us to sit in Hudeng."
The buns sold in this store were expensive, so there was naturally a reason why they were expensive. The buns were expensive, but the price of the Herbal Tea Egg was acceptable. Here, little shopkeeper, give me ten Herbal Tea Eggs."”
Fang Xuanling liked to ponder. As he ate the bun, he looked around and finally set his eyes on the stove. But as the future Prime Minister of the Great Tang, he could take a few more glances at anything that had to do with the people's livelihood.
Just as he was about to ask, he was interrupted by Cheng Yaojin."Little shopkeeper, how old are you?"
"Sixteen."
Cheng Yaojin nodded." He's still a child. My eldest son is also sixteen." Your cooking skills are not bad. How about you name a price and I'll send a few chefs over to learn?”
"How can I teach this skill to outsiders?" Bai Ming smiled. The kid was still waiting to use him to get a wife.”
"Isn't that easy?" Cheng Yaojin laughed. I'll get you a wife later. Take the prescription as a betrothal gift.
Don't worry, I, Old Cheng, won't bully you. Your wife will definitely be fair and beautiful. A good woman is more than enough for a little shopkeeper like you.”
"How should I address this general?"
"Cheng Yaojin!"
Bai Ming was stunned. He quickly cupped his fists." So it's the devil incarnate. I'm sorry for my disrespect. Let's just treat this blind date as a joke."”
"That's strange, why is Old Cheng joking?”
Bai Ming smiled." To be able to enter the eyes of the Demon King, she must be the daughter of a general. This kid's thin body is afraid of being beaten to death by his wife."”
As soon as he said that, the crowd burst into laughter. Fang Xuanling laughed and said,"Little brother, come with me. This old man has something to ask you.”
Fang Xuanling brought Bai Ming to the door and pointed at the furnace.""This furnace seems to be different from the others. Can you tell me about it?”
After saying that, he squatted down to take a look. But lead? It doesn't look like it. What did you burn?"
Bai Ming looked at him with a smile.”
"Naturally!"
"Another ten trays of steamed buns?"
"Little shopkeeper, you sure know how to take advantage of others when they're in danger."”
"How should I address you, sir?"
"I'm Fang Xuanling."
Bai Ming quickly cupped his fists. I'm not taking advantage of you. I just want you to eat your fill and then pay attention to the people's livelihood.”
500 wen wasn't a small sum to Fang Xuanling. It was only a small portion of his salary. Of course, it wasn't much either. Compared to his wealth, this amount of money didn't matter.
"Fine, this old master will reward you with money.”
Bai Ming chuckled." Lord Fang, I don't want a reward. I'll give you twenty baskets of steamed buns."”
"Up to you, tell me quickly." Fang Xuanling was a little impatient. What is this?"
Looking at Fang Xuanling, Bai Ming suddenly thought of a problem.
If he had a relationship with him, the safety of the shop should not be a problem.
No matter how much of a bastard Cheng Yaojin was, he had to give him face.
Furthermore, Fang Xuanling had lived for a long time. He was known as the Evergreen Tree of the Great Tang and had a close relationship with Li Er. If he couldn't get close to Li Er, Fang Xuanling should be about the same.
Bai Ming picked up the stove hook and pulled out the honeycomb briquettes inside. He whispered,"" Look, this is honeycomb briquettes. This stove is specially used to burn coal. This is nine layers cheaper than burning charcoal..."
"Ninth floor?" Fang Xuanling was surprised. Dang…ugh ~"
"Don't shout." Bai Ming looked into the shop and saw that the adults were all eating buns. He couldn't help but whisper,"What are you shouting for? Don't you know that a gentleman has his own treasures?"
Fang Xuanling thought about it for a while. He had read so many books, but he had never heard of this phrase before. He couldn't help but ask,"Where did this come from?"
"That's not important. This thing can not only be used for cooking, but most importantly, it can also be used for heating. If this thing is placed in the house and connected to an iron pipe, guess what? Without the charcoal poison, it can heat up for a whole night."
Fang Xuanling twirled his beard as he looked down at the stove. The more he looked, the better it looked. He couldn't help but ask,""You created this."
"Naturally!"
"This old man is looking at this. Honeycomb briquettes were also created by you?”
Seeing Bai Ming nod with a smile, she couldn't help but be surprised. This kid was indeed a strange person.
"Since you have this item, why don't you dare to make a big fuss?”
"Lord Fang, a gentleman is innocent, but he is guilty of holding a treasure," said Bai Ming.”
"A man is innocent!"
"It doesn't matter who is innocent. Lord Fang, it's already good enough for a small family like mine to have a breakfast stall. How could he dare to do so much business if he was still living on tenterhooks?
As the saying goes, only with thunderous means can one have the heart of a Bodhisattva. Although this small furnace is beneficial to the country and the people, it is not something that a small family like me can handle.
To be honest, when I saw you, I felt that you were honest and reliable. You had the demeanor of a gentleman. Among so many adults, your judgment was the most accurate and you were full of righteousness.
That's why I told you the truth. May I ask Lord Fang, do you want to make a fortune?”
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and laughed. I want to make a fortune, but I don't have Fan Li's skills.”
