Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Seeing that Yang Hongyu finally gave in, Chu Mo was secretly happy. As long as it was the first time, was he afraid that there wouldn't be a second, third, or nth time?

"Madam, let's just say this. All future business will be divided into four and six accounts. A gentleman's words are hard to follow."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and patted Yang Hongyu's delicate hand.

Yang Hongyu always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out, so she immediately snorted and left.

Cheng Yaojin here, after leaving Shiweitian, went directly back to Lu Guogong's mansion without any stop.

As for the refined salt Chu Mo had promised to give to Hou Junji, he hid it as soon as he returned to the Duke's Mansion.

As for Hou Junji, although 500 taels of silver was not much, he didn't care much about it, but the two people treated him like a fool, which really made him lose face.

Although Chu Mo had the support of the woman behind him, he himself had no power and was much easier to deal with than Cheng Yaojin's hobgoblin.

As Chu Mo said, if you can't do it openly, then you can do it secretly. How can you, the great general of the right guard, still not be able to defeat a city gatekeeper under his command?

What's more, don't you have stir-fry dishes and refined salt?

Then I will find a family that also runs restaurants and salt industry to come in and bring you some surprises.

On the same day, Hou Junji found Fan Yang Lu's agent in Chang'an, Lu Hui, and told him that Shiweitian had fried vegetables and a kind of refined salt that he had never seen before.

Regarding cooking, although people from aristocratic families like Lu Hui are rare, they are not unheard of.

After all, this thing has been around since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but it was not popularized due to the limitations of ingredients and oil.

But as children of aristocratic families, they can still taste some occasionally, so they don't find it strange at all.

As for what Hou Junji said about refined salt that he had never seen before, Lu Hui even scoffed.

In the entire Tang Dynasty and even in the world, there was no salt-making technology that could compare with those of several of their major families.

Because he had some dealings with Hou Junji before, and saw that he was so confident in what he said, Lu Hui planned to go to Shiweitian to find out.

After Hou Junji persuaded Lu Hui, he was secretly happy.

But on the surface, he still pretended to be calm: "Brother Lu doesn't know something. The boss of Shiweitian is quite talented. He knows some special dish names and uses refined salt to prepare them, so the price of the dishes is ridiculously high."

"Oh, how outrageous?" Lu Hui asked disdainfully.

"A cup of brown sugar water is 90 taels of silver, and an ordinary side dish is 30 taels of silver."

After hearing what Hou Junji said, Lu Hui became somewhat interested: "So, this is a black shop? Then why didn't Brother Hou just close it down?"

Hou Junji smiled awkwardly: "It's just because the other party has Cheng Yaojin's back, and we are both officials in the same dynasty, so it's hard to take action."

When Lu Hui heard this, he realized that he thought he was a thug.

But it doesn't matter. If the other party really has cooking skills and refined salt that he has never seen before, as Hou Junji said, then it is indeed worth taking action.

The two of them soon arrived at the gate of Shiweitian.

The waiter remembered Hou Junji, but did not know Lu Hui.

But he is also a smart man. How can a man who can walk side by side with Duke Lu be a mortal?

So he immediately welcomed the person in enthusiastically.

Hou Junji frowned when he saw that the waiter just welcomed him into the hall instead of taking him directly upstairs like in the morning:

"You don't have a private room upstairs, why don't you take me up there? Instead, it's a noisy place?"

The waiter said in embarrassment: "Mr. Hou, my uncle gave me a special explanation this morning. There is no special explanation this time. I don't dare to make my own decisions."

"Then you hurry up and invite your uncle. Just tell me that I want to entertain distinguished guests."

After hearing this, the waiter immediately ran towards the backyard.

Lu Hui had already taken a look at the layout of the restaurant: "This kind of layout is still rare, and such a large table and low stool are also rare."

"The owner here is really interesting as Brother Hou said."

After hearing Lu Hui's praise of the layout here, Hou Junji immediately explained: "These are called tables, chairs and benches. I heard that they were specially customized by the restaurant's uncle. It feels good to sit on them."

Lu Hui nodded and walked to the second floor minding his own business.

Upon seeing this, Hou Junji immediately followed him, and then directly opened the door of the previous box.

Chu Mo was studying a new method of making salt when he suddenly heard the waiter say that Hou Junji had brought someone here, and he looked very big, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

Chu Mo secretly thought, could it be that the refined salt given by Cheng Yaojin's Birdman had an effect?Hou Junji returned the favor and brought me a big fat sheep?

The more I think about it, the more likely it is.

Chu Mo immediately tidied up his clothes in excitement, and then said to the waiter: "You go and find out the details of the other party first, I will be there in a minute."

The waiter took the order and immediately ran to the front hall. He was not annoyed when he saw the two people going up to the second floor on their own initiative.

Let you be arrogant, you will be slaughtered like pigs by the young master later.

After getting a plate of snacks and a pot of boiled water, the waiter went up.

Seeing that only the waiter came in but Chu Mo was not seen, Hou Junji snorted coldly: "Why is your uncle not here yet? He neglected my distinguished guest. He can't afford the punishment."

The waiter hurriedly apologized and said, "Mr. Hou, my uncle is out and has sent someone to invite him. I don't know what to call this guest of yours?"

Lu Hui glanced at the waiter indifferently, and said extremely arrogantly: "Fan Yang Lu's family, Lu Hui is also."

The waiter nodded. The Lu family, whose surname is Qiwang, is indeed quite old.

After saying, "Wait a moment," the waiter hurried back to the backyard to report to his uncle.

"The Lu family that herds sheep? Does it have a big background?" Chu Mo was a little confused.

"Yes, uncle, they are from a well-established family, we must not offend them."

Chu Mo snorted, isn't he just a sheepherder, so awesome.

Well, no, mutton is a scarce commodity now. Since he dares to call himself after the name of a place, he should indeed have some strength.

From this point of view, he must be very rich.

It seemed that Hou Junji was very kind to me, so he just brought a sheepherder over and slaughtered him severely.

Haha, when this fortune comes, there is no way to stop it.

After thinking about it, Chu Mo told the waiter a few words and then walked towards the restaurant.

When they reached the stairs on the second floor, Chu Mo heard voices coming from above: "Junji, I think this restaurant is just mediocre, not as extraordinary as you said."

Hou Junji on the side smiled slightly: "Brother Lu, you must not underestimate this place. I have seen it before."

"Huh, that's just because you are so rare. Our Fan Yanglu family has never seen or eaten anything. It's just a dilapidated building. It's just a name for the dish."
