Chapter 47 Hot Pot

A few days later—

Changde Mansion no longer has the bleak atmosphere. Although the food prices are still high, the people in the city are no longer as frowning as before. They look much better.

Almost all the streets and alleys are discussing the same topic.

"It's so great. If it weren't for Mr. Tu, we ordinary people would have to starve to death!"

"Yes~ Although the food price is still so expensive, fortunately I can eat cheap foods such as fish and shrimp. If I don't have these, I don't know how to live in the future?"

"It'll be better if you last a while. I heard that those merchants will be unable to hold on soon. Some people are planning to lower the food price, otherwise they will have to suffer a loss."

"That's of course. Once the summer harvest comes, the rice and grain in the grain merchants are old rice, which is half of the original price, and some people may not buy it. If they don't sell it now, they will really not be able to sell it."

Military Supervisor’s Office—

Du Yinxi walked in the corridor in the backyard with a happy look on his face, and he looked more happy and contented, followed by the butler Fu Uncle.

"Master, now the people in the city are thinking about the good deeds of the young master and are very grateful for the kindness of the young master."

Hearing Uncle Fu's compliment in disguise, Du Yinxi hugged his beard, at this time, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked with a smile: "By the way, Uncle Fu, what has Wei'er been busy with recently? He hasn't seen anyone for several days."

"master--"

Uncle Fu blurted out and shouted, just as he was about to answer, he realized in a flash, and his expression was obviously hesitant, but he didn't have any extra time to think about anything.

"The young master said that relying solely on the fish in Liuye Lake cannot solve the food problem of the people of Changde Prefecture. Only by opening up new sources of food can the grain prices in Changde Prefecture be truly reduced."

"Oh~ No wonder those local heroes didn't let them fish again. They turned out to be fiddling with new things."

Du Yinxi suddenly became interested, his smile became stronger on his face. He paused, looked back at Uncle Fu and asked, "How is the research done?"

"That, that..."

Uncle Fu hesitated, his expression was so natural. Du Yinxi didn't continue to ask anything, but continued to walk forward, but said suddenly: "Go, call Wei'er to the study."

"Yes, Master!"

At this time, the two of them happened to arrive at a fork in the road. Uncle Fu agreed and quickly ran in one direction.

Looking at the fact that Fu Uncle who was a little out of control, he was obviously sloppy just now, Du Yinxi just smiled and shook his head, and walked out of the study slowly without looking back.

Obviously, Du Yinxi was in a good mood.

In the remote courtyard where the road was blocked, there was an extremely pungent smell of chili. The smoked people were crying and could hardly open their eyes.

"Quick, it's just spicy to taste!"

In the center of the yard, a pot was set up. The pot was red and the soup was almost filled with dried peppers. The guards kept urging a servant to cut mutton. His face was flushed and he was sweating profusely.

"It's so satisfying, it's so satisfying. I feel comfortable in my whole body after sweating so much!"

Duweidao picked up the mutton in the hot pot. While eating it, he didn't forget to take care of Du Xing and Li Yue beside him.

"Li Yue, come on, you can eat too!"

"It's so satisfying! Why are you still standing there? Don't you like eating meat the most?"

However, not only did the two of them not move forward, but instead took a step back, and there was still a look of lingering fear on their faces.

Just now, no one can forget the spicy taste of drinking the soup, whether it was Du Xing or Li Yue.

Now, my throat still has a spicy feeling that is burning.

"No, Master, you eat it, that's not necessary."

Du Xingtou shook like a rattle, Li Yue followed closely behind and quickly refused and said, "Young Master, I'm not hungry, you can eat!"

At this moment, the housekeeper Fu ran into the yard.

"Young Master, Young Master, Master, you are asking you to go to the study room now. You are waiting for you in the study room~"

"What's the old man looking for me?" Du Weidao sucked his mouth, still eating mutton hotpot, and muttered: "I've done everything I promised, so why don't you ask me?"

Not only Uncle Fu, Li Yue and Du Xing, who were standing not far away, were sweating and shocked, but they didn't respond, just said, "Young Master, it seems that the master has something to discuss with you."

"Come on, Uncle Fu, sit down and try the new way to eat mutton I invented. It's very satisfying!"

Without waiting for Uncle Fu to refuse, Du Weidao pulled him over and pressed him on the stool. At the same time, he picked up a piece of mutton from Cong pot and put it on the plate in front of Uncle Fu.

"Uncle Fu, eating more of this mutton will be effective for your old cold legs and will be particularly warm."

"Young Master, you're eating hot pot~"

Uncle Fu didn't understand the look of Du Xing's hand over, but was attracted by the hot hot pot. He picked up the piece of mutton and put it in his mouth.

"Young Master, what kind of pot bottom are you? The soup is red, it's so festive."

The moment the mutton entered his mouth, Uncle Fu's words suddenly stopped, his eyes lit up, and an indescribable light appeared on his face. He felt that the entrance was smooth and there was no smell of mutton.

"tasty!"

This was completely a subconscious reaction from Uncle Fu. He praised him and even picked up several pieces of meat from the pot. While eating, he exclaimed: "Young Master, what ingredients are you using to make the bottom of the pot? It's spicy and numb, so delicious. I feel that every pore in my body is spreading, and my abdomen is even warm, so comfortable!"

Du Xing and Li Yue were both stunned and looked in disbelief. If Uncle Fu was not still eating a lot and shouting that he had forgotten the task he had come here, the two of them would have thought that Uncle Fu was flattering.

It’s different now. Uncle Fu, the old man in the house, couldn’t stop eating at all, and it didn’t look like pretending at all.

The two of them were suspicious, was it really that delicious?

Obviously, although he had a good meal, Uncle Fu did not forget the mission he had on this trip as the two saw.

"Young Master, it's time for us to leave. The master is still waiting in the study room~"

Uncle Fu wiped his mouth. Although he said this, he was still a little greedy for the mutton in the hot pot. He swallowed a mouthful of water and said quickly: "Young master, go to the study first. Anyway, the hot pot will not run away. When the time comes, I will bring another jar of wine and it will be more satisfying to eat."

"Okay~Uncle Fu, let's go!"

The Duwei Road had already eaten much. When he heard Uncle Fu say this, he didn't sit there anymore. While putting down his chopsticks, he grew up and walked out with Uncle Fu who was reluctant to leave.
