I'm so tired of traveling all the time

Around seven in the evening, darkness enveloped the entire market. The streets outside the market were cleared, but the inside of the market was still bustling.

There is no shortage of restaurants and inns in Changlefang, and brothels are the best business places. People who don’t return home at night always have a place to go.

At this time, in a corner of Changlefang, the shop that Wen Liang treated as his home was already brightly lit.

In the street shop, there is a large table in the middle, and in the middle of the table is a hot pot. It is a simple shuangxiang pot, but the seasoning is special. On one side is the red oil base that Wen Liang likes, and on the other side is a secret mushroom soup pot, stewed with charcoal underneath. As the heat comes up, the aroma is instantly charming!

At this time, the guests had already taken their seats around. There were six guests in total, including Mr. Zhao Zhongtian, boss of the tea shop, An Jishan, boss of the largest grain shop on the street, Xue An, boss of the grocery store, Li Ping'an of the Changfeng Escort Agency, Bai Yiming, boss of the bookstore, and He Youwang, a horse merchant. They were all well-known figures on this street. Their industries were not that big, but they were definitely not at the level that ordinary people could reach.

In addition to the hot pot, there were also various delicacies ordered from Zuiyuelou. Although the table was full at this time, no one present started eating. They were all staring at the special hot pot in the center.

After Wen Liang asked everyone to take their seats, Mr. Zhao, the owner of the tea shop, couldn't help but ask carefully, "Brother Wen, what is this pot in the middle, and why does it taste so tempting?!"

"Yes, Li, I have traveled all over the country for so many years, and I have seen all kinds of delicacies from all over the country, but this is the first time I have tasted anything like this. This is the first time I have lost my composure over food. It's really an eye-opener, really an eye-opener!" Li Ping'an, the boss of Changfeng Escort Agency, couldn't help but say.

"From the smell point of view, this red soup is spicy and fragrant, like dogwood but better than dogwood; the other side is white and smooth like jade, and you can also see the floating mountain delicacies; even the pot itself is like a yin and yang fish, implying the great way of Tai Chi, and the taste is even more spicy and mild. This is the harmony of yin and yang, and the way of health preservation~" Bookstore owner Bai Yiming couldn't help but comment.

"It's true. After listening to Mr. Bai's comments, it's really the case!" Horse merchant He Youwang said in a rough voice, "It seems that Brother Wen is a very particular person!"

"Just based on this pot and two soups, if Brother Wen opens a shop selling this stuff, I will definitely support him!" said An Jishan, the owner of the grain shop, "Besides, I think many big shots will also like it!"

"Boss An is a close relative of the An family, so he must have many connections. Brother Wen, since Boss An said so, there must be a profitable business!" Boss Xue of Xue's Grocery reminded.

After hearing what Boss Xue said, Wen Liang thought of Wei Dong. The An family he was talking about was not the An family of Cai Ge, but the An family of the capital, An Shigeng's An family!

I really didn't expect that after I avoided a few people from the Shenhou Mansion, I was actually connected with the An Shigeng family in a roundabout way.

Wen Liang smiled and said, "Thank you all for your kindness! This was originally an ordinary food, but after Bai Xiucai's recommendation, its value has doubled. If you like it, you are welcome to come here often! As for opening a store with this food, it depends on the supply in the future... But it is enough for our own use, and thank you Brother An for your kindness!"

"It doesn't matter."

"North America? Where is this? Brother Wen must have traveled to many places, but we are ignorant!" Li Pingan from Changfeng Escort Agency asked.

"North America, go east by land and go out to sea very far, it's also a continent..." Wen Liang was not lying when he said that the seasoning came from North America. After all, although he ordered it from China, he received it in North America, so there was nothing wrong with bringing it from North America.

"East of the land... could it be Japan?" said the tea shop owner.

"Go further east." Wen Liang shook his head.

"Further east is an endless body of water. I've never heard of anyone being able to travel through it?" Bai Xiucai asked doubtfully.

Wen Liang said without hesitation, "There are many islands in the ocean east of the land, and people live on the big islands. Going further east and crossing the vast ocean is very difficult, but it's not that no one has succeeded. Of course, this is just empty talk, and I have another way here to verify the truth of what I said!"

"I'd like to hear more details!" X6

"Go north along the east coastline of our Great Song Dynasty. At the end, you will encounter a narrow strait. Cross the strait and you will reach North America. Then go south along the coastline of North America. It will take a month longer than it takes us to go north. The place you arrive at will be across the sea from us! And by then, you will also find that the place you pass by is a large unexplored world. There are primitive and backward natives, as well as endless gold, silver, copper, and iron minerals, as well as various magical animal and plant resources that are worth our exploration... and plunder!"

Wen Liang's eyes sparkled, and it was unknown what had made him say this. He scanned the six people in front of him: the grain merchant, the grocer, the escort agency, the horse merchant, the tea merchant, and the bookseller!

This is simply a very complete and simplified version of the hexagonal requirement for exploration and conquest. If they can really get a team together and go there, there is no doubt that their military power will be overwhelming.

By then, Wen Liang would be willing to stay in this world to see what would happen next and what changes would happen in history!

"Come on, everyone, don't be polite, try this double-flavored hotpot!" Wen Liang took the lead in picking up some meat and dipping it into the hotpot.

Everyone also broke free from the world described by Wen Liang, but their occasionally flickering eyes showed that their hearts were clearly still not at peace.

"Double-flavored hotpot? What a good name!" Bai Xiucai imitated him and started to eat it.

The same was true for the others. They followed Wen Liang and took a bite of the meat. Except for Wen Liang, who had a look of enjoyment on his face, the others were almost choked to death by the meat that had been fried in the red oil pan!

"It's so spicy!" Horse merchant He Youwang couldn't help but shout.

Wen Liang chewed the hot pot meat and spoke without any courtesy, "When you first try chili, you must take small bites. It's not easy to eat chili here. It comes from North America~" As he spoke, he swallowed another piece of meat.

Everyone was choked and some were afraid to continue, so they turned to the other side of the mushroom soup pot. After carefully tasting it, they found it extremely delicious and fresh, and then they started to eat the meat faster.

After a while, the tea shop owner savored the spicy taste in his mouth and found it unexpectedly very stimulating, which was an enjoyment that the mushroom soup base could not give him.

Seeing Wen Liang taking out the ingredients one by one from the bottom of the red oil pot, I couldn't help but stretch my chopsticks to the red side, dip it in the sauce and chew it slowly... "Mm, delicious!"

Looking at the tea shop owner Zhao who had defected, Wen Liang smiled inwardly. Who can resist spicy red oil hotpot? It's just a matter of time!

Studies have shown that spiciness is actually a form of pain. If you understand it this way, people who like spicy food are somewhat masochistic.

The same was true for the bosses in front of him. Starting from Boss Zhao, everyone gradually showed this "masochistic" tendency and were all captivated by the red oil wok!

By the time the meal was in full swing, everyone was sweating profusely, eating and chatting, having a great time.

"How can we have food without wine?" Wen Liang suddenly felt that something was missing, and hurriedly said to everyone, "I have some foreign wines, everyone come and taste them!"

"Great! After enjoying the imported shuangyuan hotpot, it was really an eye-opener. Now I am even more looking forward to the drinks that Brother Wen mentioned. I hope they are as magical as mine!" An Jishan, the owner of the grain shop, couldn't help but applaud.

Others also started to make a noise, and Wen Liang stood up and pretended to go back to the backyard.

After walking around the bedroom, he came back with two bottles of liquor in his hands. The blue, transparent bottles were roughly in the shape of a teardrop, with a 53-degree fragrance. Wen Liang purchased a lot of things when he went to China, including some high-proof liquor.

I thought about the various uses of liquor, and sometimes it might be used in emergencies, but I never thought it would be used in ancient times~

And when Wen Liang showed up with two bottles of wine and a set of wine utensils, everyone was stunned again!!
