"But you smell like that?" The second young master walked around Zhang Erquan and said, pulling the hem of his clothes from behind.

Zhang Erquan is confused?

"You have a greasy spot on your back."

Zhang Erquan turned around and everyone saw him. "No wonder I could smell that smell all the way here."

"What else? Tell me what else is interesting." The old lady didn't care about hot pot base or aroma. She was old, and the smell of anything was not very appealing to her.

The maids cleared away the breakfast. Zhang Erquan placed the foam box on the table and opened the lid, revealing the small puddings and popsicles wrapped in white.

"What is this?" the old lady asked curiously. "Why is it so cold? I can feel the coolness even from a distance. It feels good."

"To answer the old lady, this is Ice Qilin. It's a snack to relieve summer heat." Zhang Erquan replied, and then respectfully took out all the ice cream in the box and placed it on the table.

Because it was packed in a foam box with ice packs inside, the ice cream didn't melt at all.

Zhang Erquan quietly left an ice pack for the young master, who was most afraid of the heat. He would hold it in his hands to cool him down. The young master was not afraid of the ice, as he was young and durable.

After tearing open the package of a small pudding, a sweet milky aroma wafted out. The old lady's mouth watered immediately, and she felt hungry just by smelling the cold air.

Zhang Erquan hurriedly handed the torn pudding to the old lady's maid, and the old lady ate the pudding as she wished.

Seeing that the old lady had started eating, everyone took one and started to open it.

There were six ice creams left out of ten. Young Master Zhang gave his to Zhang Erquan. Zhang Erquan hurriedly said that he had already eaten them on the way here.

"Has your grandfather tried it?" Mr. Zhang asked as he slurped his ice cream. "Oh, this thing is really good for cooling off the summer heat and stimulating the appetite." He was almost starving. His wife and children were so engrossed in their food that they had no time to talk.

"Master prefers the white wine there. He should be drinking it right now." Master Zhang was about to nod when a little maid ran over from the corridor and said, "Master, the old master Hou from the Marquis's Mansion, Master Zhou from the Zhou Mansion, the old master Fu from the Xu Mansion, Master Liu Er from the Liu Mansion, and several housekeepers and servants are asking to see you in the outer courtyard."

When Master Zhang heard that so many masters were looking for him, he was so surprised that he almost stuffed the pudding in his hand into his mouth. He stood up and ate the pudding he had just opened while going to the living room to meet the guests.

He came back after a while, but his face was full of strangeness.

The old lady hurriedly asked why they came to the house so early in the morning and why so many people came together.

Master Zhang said that when he went to the front yard, he saw the masters circling the mansion's carriage, the same carriage that Zhang Erquan had driven out. When he got closer, he realized that everyone was sniffing the carriage curtain, trying to use their noses to analyze the ingredients that could produce such a fragrant aroma.

After asking, we found out that the group of people followed Zhang Erquan to his house because they were attracted by his scent.

If Mr. Zhang knew about drug addicts, he would describe it as a group of drug addicts gathered together to take drugs.

After asking where the carriage had gone, a group of gentlemen bluntly said they had received a favor from the Zhang family. They clamored to return to their homes and ride their horses.

As for the group of housekeepers and servants, they had the same purpose. They said that the smell on Zhang Erquan was the same as the strangely fragrant smell outside the city gate, but they couldn't find where the smell came from. So they came to Zhang's house to ask a few questions.

The old lady was surprised and said, "Does it really smell so good?"

Old Zhang also said depressedly, "It smells like spicy food, but also has a strong and rich smell of meat oil, and seems to have spices like star anise and cinnamon. These are what the gourmets in the city can smell. My son can only smell the spiciness, and it makes him feel hungry."

"Madam, master, I actually brought back some hot pot base." Zhang Erquan said as he picked up a basket.

"Seeing that all the masters have finished their meals, I brought it up to show them."

"You brought a copy back? Where is it?" Not only the old lady, but all the masters in the mansion became curious.

Zhang Erquan took out a bag of hot pot base and introduced it to everyone. After listening, everyone called for the kitchen to make a portion to try. But Zhang Erquan stopped them again. "Master, Young Master, we've already bought the hot pot base. We'll have it sooner or later. The important thing now is to go to that shop and see if there's anything else we need. Master, look, doesn't this wine bottle look like glass? And this little round mirror, it can reflect every detail of a person." After saying this, he took out the items one by one.

The old lady and Mrs. Zhang took a look and found it was indeed the case. It was much clearer than the bronze mirror, and was rounder and smaller, so it could be placed in a purse or sachet and carried around.

"Why didn't you take out such a good thing earlier? Why did you wait until now?" Young Master Zhang was a little angry.

"I saw the masters were eating so happily that I didn't dare to disturb them."

"What is this round stick? A lollipop?" asked the second young master, holding a lollipop.

Zhang Erquan hurriedly explained, "This is a lollipop. You can eat it after peeling off the outer paper."

Young Master Zhang peeled off the candy wrapper and popped it into his mouth. A sweetness completely different from malt candy spread throughout his mouth. It didn't have the rich, milky aroma of the Little Pudding Ice Kirin earlier. Mmmm. It tasted fruity.

"It has a fruity flavor. Grandma will definitely like it." Young Master Zhang peeled one and handed it to the old lady.

"I can't wait to go see this store now," said Young Master Zhang.

"But it's such a hot day." The lady hesitated.

"I have to go and take a look. The wine is all contained in glass. I wonder if there are any other rare objects." said Mr. Zhang.

"We have to go and have a look." The old lady said affirmatively.

"We're already a little late compared to the others. It's all my fault for being greedy."

"Grandma, how can you say that?" The family members hurriedly tried to comfort her.

"Old lady, you can go out too. It's not far away. When you get there, the convenience store is very cool and not as hot as outside." Zhang Erquan said hurriedly.

"Why is that?" asked Young Master Zhang.

"Because of some technology, the people in the store said they turned on the air conditioner. It's used to adjust the temperature in the room."

"Then arrange the carriage quickly. I really want to go and see it." The old lady stood up.

So the Zhang family and their group followed them to the convenience store.

After the gluttons learned where Zhang Erquan had been early in the morning, they drove their carriages to the store.

"Oh my God! This smell is so good that it's almost making my nose fall off." Master Liu Er was younger and ran the fastest. He just jumped onto the carriage and did a standing long jump as soon as he smelled the scent.

He walked towards the pot and almost jumped into it to be boiled.

Su Yu had been guarding the pot of soup base, waiting for guests. How could he let someone just take it away?
