Master Xuanzhen even drank the entire spicy hot pot soup base in one gulp. He burped contentedly and praised it profusely:

"Zhizhi is truly amazing, able to transform tree roots into such smooth and chewy fern root vermicelli."

Then, he enthusiastically shared his new discovery: "Also, I think the soul of this spicy hot pot is these chili oils. Not only does it taste fragrant, but it's not spicy at all."

After hearing this, He Donghai couldn't help but express his unique opinion: "I think you are only half right. This spicy hot pot must be closely linked to the spicy and numbing tastes. Neither can be missing."

Fang Zheng also nodded in agreement. "Old Man He is right. I just carefully tasted each ingredient and felt the rich spicy flavor. The spiciness is very strong, and the numbness is just right."

However, Fang Rangrang couldn't eat spicy food, so she had to choose clear soup.

Although it lacked the spicy and numbing taste, she still ate it with gusto and praised this unique spicy hot pot highly.

After eating a piece of fatty but not greasy pork belly, she looked up at Fang Zheng and said with a smile, "Grandfather, I only added sesame paste and sour beans to this bowl, and it's also very fragrant. The soup is delicious."

"We're not at a disadvantage in helping out. Not only can we get to taste this delicacy first, but we can also eat it for free."

After hearing this, Fang Zheng muttered to himself: Of course a little kid like you won't suffer any loss.

What kind of help can she possibly provide? She's just here to play and eat.

Poor old man, he almost sprained his back while moving things just now.

Regardless, it's worth it to eat such delicious food.

Soon, the news that Yun Zhizhi set up a stall in front of Lishan Academy spread like wildfire.

In the streets and alleys of the capital, people were talking to each other and discussing:

"Why does Yun Zhizhi always set up her stall in such bizarre places? It's really confusing."

"Yeah, last time she went to a place as far away as Yizhou City to set up a stall, and this time she actually ran to Lishan Academy. There was no one in sight. What was she thinking? Was she going there to catch the northwest wind?"

"Also, what is Malatang? It sounds weird. And Yun Zhizhi sells something different every time she sets up her stall. It's never been seen before. I don't know where she learned these weird things from."

"I heard someone just tried the spicy hot pot. It's said that the taste and texture are simply amazing. It's numbing, spicy, and hot. It's unforgettable."

"Oh, that makes me excited. Before I even have lunch, I'm going to go to Lishan Academy and buy some to try."

"Let's go faster, otherwise it will be hard to grab it."

In this way, through word of mouth, more and more people became interested in Malatang and flocked to Lishan Academy.

When the Su Mansion's secret guard was following Mr. Su on the street, he accidentally heard two passers-by talking about Yun Zhizhi setting up a stall in front of the Lishan Academy today. He was shocked and his face turned pale.

Seeing that Mr. Su was about to reach the brothel, he didn't bother to continue following him and hurriedly turned around and headed towards Yangjia Village.

This bad news must be told to Su Zeye as soon as possible, who is still waiting in Yangjia Village.

The Su Mansion's secret guards hurried on their way while praying silently, hoping that they could make amends and that the young master would not punish them severely.

At this time, it was almost mid-noon and the sun was high in the sky. Su Zeye and his group of friends were already starving and could only drink water continuously to relieve their hunger.

They went out early in the morning and didn't even have a big breakfast, hoping to have a big harvest today.

However, until now, not only has he not made any fortune, he has not even seen the shadow of Yun Zhizhi, the person who gives away money.

At this moment, the Su Mansion's secret guards finally arrived at Yangjia Village and appeared in front of Su Zeye.

He knelt on the ground, panting, and lowered his head to report to Su Zeye: "Master, it's bad! Yun Zhizhi, she...she ran to the entrance of Lishan Academy to set up a stall, and this time she didn't sell ingredients, but food instead."

"what?"

When Su Zeye heard this, he became furious and an angry look appeared on his face.

He had always thought that Yun Zhizhi might have been delayed by something, so she didn't come here to set up the stall so soon, but...

Unexpectedly, this time, that bastard Sun Kun guessed the place where Yun Zhizhi set up her stall again.

"How can you be a secret guard? Even Sun Kun, that third-rate scoundrel, has more reliable information than you."

Su Zeye looked at the dusty Su Mansion secret guard in front of him with an angry face, his voice full of blame.

Then, he couldn't help cursing again: "What's the use of you! You can't do anything, can you even fart?"

The poor Su Mansion secret guard replied softly: "Yes! The kind that is very loud."

Su Zeye glanced at him with disdain, his heart full of dissatisfaction: "I'll settle the score with you when I get back."

The Su Mansion's secret guard looked aggrieved and complained bitterly. Others enjoyed a comfortable life as secret guards, but he had to do the work of several people alone. Not only that, he also had to endure Su Zeye's scolding and punishment.

Before being punished, he had to go to the brothel to continue following Master Su.

Otherwise, he would be punished by Madam Su again.

He is so miserable!

Su Zeye lost his mood instantly after suddenly losing the opportunity to make a fortune.

"Let's go! Let's go back to the city and have a drink."

Dong Fan was also in a bad mood.

So, he mustered up the courage to ask Su Zeye: "Brother Ye, we have been waiting here for a long time, and your information is unreliable. Shouldn't you return the three taels of silver to us?"

There was a hint of complaint and dissatisfaction in his tone.

Zhu Datong nodded quickly and said, "That's right! Since we are friends, I don't ask you to pay triple the money."

He learned from his friends that Sun Kun had promised them that if the information was unreliable, he would pay three times the silver.

After hearing this, Su Zeye felt even more unhappy and even lost the interest in drinking.

Finally, he reluctantly took the silver out of his sleeve and returned it to them, then walked silently towards his own carriage.

Seeing this, Wei Sichen hurriedly followed and asked, "Brother Ye, should we go back to the city for a drink?"

Su Zeye responded without even turning his head: "Drink northwest wind!"

This guy really has no vision at all. Doesn't he notice the chill emanating from him?

At this time, it was time for the students of Lishan Academy to take a nap, but the students living in the houses closest to Yun Zhizhi's stall felt a little distressed.

Because they would smell waves of endless fragrance from time to time, which made it difficult to fall asleep.
