After the massage ended, Tang Huan slowly opened her eyes and sat up in bed.
He glanced casually to the left and right, his gaze lingering on the beautiful backs of Gongyang Tingbai and Qin Yuyang without pausing.
With Xue'e's help, Tang Huan quickly got dressed and said, "I'll wait for you outside."
Tang Huan left the room and sat down in the living room.
Staff members passing by would greet him from time to time, and several young girls would glance at him shyly with embarrassed smiles and then quickly run away.
Tang Huan was also somewhat troubled by this situation.
As soon as things started to improve in Qihuai County, people kept coming to his door to propose marriage, wanting to marry their daughters or nieces to Tang Huan.
Tang Huan knew perfectly well what these people's purpose was; they just wanted their daughter to have an easier life with them.
Even after repeatedly refusing many people and keeping Xue'e by his side, the situation did not improve.
Even though Qin Yuyang came to Qihuai County, some people still came forward like fearless warriors.
"Could it be that everyone saw Xiao Qin being kept at the manor and thinks I still need women?"
Tang Huan was a little annoyed. Could it be that the people in Qihuai County also thought of him as a womanizer?
Thinking this, footsteps sounded.
Gongyang Tingbai and Qin Yuyang came out of the room one after the other. They both looked much better than before, which meant that the massage had definitely helped.
Li Daikui then hurriedly came out, appearing reluctant to leave.
"What's next?"
Gongyang listened to Bai's words and said, "Since we're here, let's make the best of it. Now that Tang Huan is the host making arrangements, she, as a guest, naturally won't mind Tang Huan's arrangements."
"Of course, we can't forget the important business. Now I'll take you to the factory area so you can confirm what kind of goods are being sent to the Northern Region."
"good."
Upon hearing about the factory area, Gongyang Tingbai became curious.
Today, she had already toured around Qihuai County with Tang Huan and the others, witnessing the prosperity of this city.
Gongyang Tingbai is now very interested in seeing what Tang Huan's factory will look like, as it contains some novel features.
The group left the bustling city and headed towards a quieter spot.
The further you walk, the further you drift away from the crowd.
After walking for more than ten minutes, a large area of well-organized buildings suddenly appeared in front of Gongyang Tingbai.
On the vast, flat land, countless gray buildings stood, and one could vaguely see pedestrians among them.
"These are all factories?" Gongyang Tingbai was taken aback.
Compared to the rudimentary workshops in the Northern Region, this place appeared incredibly natural and was also much larger in scale.
She couldn't help but imagine: if the Northern Region had a processing plant of this scale, why would it have to worry about money?
"Of course, these are all kinds of factories that the adults have worked hard to build over the years: food processing plants, clothing processing plants, and processing plants for all sorts of things. Each one has a different department, with different people in charge," Li Daikui introduced with great pride.
When he first joined Qihuai County, he was in charge of factory affairs for a period of time. Later, he gained a foothold by being loyal to Tang Huan.
"Come on, take me to see this!"
Gongyang Tingbai grabbed Tang Huan's arm and pulled him inside the factory to take a closer look.
This woman was incredibly strong; Tang Huan was caught off guard and stumbled a step as she was pulled along.
"Don't rush." Tang Huan steadied herself. "Why don't we take a look around? This is where they process hot pot base and barbecue seasoning."
The group walked together toward the nearest factory, and as they got closer, they smelled a delicious aroma.
Gongyang Tingbai sniffed carefully and confirmed that it was indeed the familiar smell of hot pot and barbecue.
She had tried hot pot in Beijing, and after coming to Qihuai County, she also tried barbecue, so the taste was not unfamiliar to her.
"Hot pot is of little use to the Northern Region, but if we bring this barbecue seasoning back, everyone won't have to put up with the gamey smell of meat."
Compared to the people of Daqing who have done a lot of research on food, the people of the northern regions seem to be more natural and ancient.
Most of the food is simply cooked, and as long as it's cooked through, it's eaten. It's seasoned very little, so the taste is naturally not as good.
Even though people have developed ways to deal with the gamey smell of meat over the years, it is impossible to completely eliminate it; people have simply become accustomed to tolerating it.
"I'll take the barbecue seasoning."
Tang Huan walked beside Gongyang Tingbai with a smile, "Of course, I knew that people from the Northern Region would like this barbecue seasoning, so I specially brought you here to take a look first."
Tang Huan gestured for Gongyang Tingbai to tour the factory and confirm most of the production processes.
In particular, confirming the cleanliness and hygiene of the factory put her at ease.
Gongyang Tingbai nodded in satisfaction. "I'll tell you the exact amount later. Let's go check out other places first."
“Princess, you’ve made a good choice. To be honest, hot pot and barbecue are the most popular things even in the county. Since you’ve chosen barbecue, why don’t you guess who runs the hot pot business in the capital?” Tang Huan asked with a smile.
"This person must be extraordinary to have built such a large hot pot business," Gongyang Tingbai thought for a moment, recalling the popularity of hot pot businesses in the capital.
Almost every inn and restaurant, big or small, prepares hot pot. With such a large business, they naturally make a lot of money.
"She is an empress."
Gongyang Tingbai raised an eyebrow. "No wonder that empress valued you so much. It turns out you two had already made a secret deal before this."
