Chapter 637 Hot Pot



Someone paid, and the drink was Xishan Tianchun!

Yun Xiyan immediately looked at Fu Xiaoguan with admiration.

"Mr. Fu's family has always been well-off. Alas, unlike me, my father kicked me out and made me travel thousands of miles. You have no idea how I have survived these past three years! Fortunately, there was a Lord Fu in this world, otherwise I would have starved to death!"

Fu Xiaoguan scratched his head and asked, "Do you know Lord Fu?"

"How is this possible?" He suddenly leaned forward, lowered his voice, and said slyly, "After having a drink with you today, I'm going to tell you a way to make money. But don't spread it out. If Lord Fu hears it, it will be terrible!"

Sima Che covered his mouth and laughed secretly. Fu Xiaoguan was stunned when he heard it, "Tell me about it."

"Master Fu's poems and articles are worth a lot of money!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a small booklet from his bosom and handed it to Fu Xiaoguan. "This booklet isn't complete yet. There are about ten poems written by Master Fu circulating in the market. I've collected these poems and printed about a thousand to eight hundred copies every time I go to a place, and then put them in the busy city..."

"You don't know how famous Master Fu is. He only needs to shout out that a collection of Master Fu's famous works is available for one tael of silver... You can't even guess how crazy those people are, especially those girls. My God, if Master Fu really showed up, they would probably snatch him away to consummate their marriage!"

Sima Che's face flushed red with embarrassment. Yun Xiyan laughed heartily and pointed at Sima Che, "Brother Sima, are you embarrassed? I'm telling the truth! Lord Fu's poems are so popular. 1,800 copies. Once they get out, they'll be gone in an hour. How much silver can I make? At least 500 or 600 taels!"

Fu Xiaoguan's eyes widened immediately. Is this possible?

This kid is such a talented guy!

"Since it's selling so well, why don't you sell more?"

"One should not be too greedy. What if the government finds out? What if the news reaches Lord Fu? Don't you think this will cost me my life?"

"To be honest, since I arrived in Jinling, I've already found a bookstore to print a hundred copies of this masterpiece! When the Lan Ting Collection is posted, I'll sell them and I'll treat you all to some Xishan Tianchun!"

Yun Xiyan patted his chest with a "bang bang" sound, "I'm a man of my words. We'll meet here on the night the notice is posted. See you there!"

Fu Xiaoguan did not agree, but asked: "As far as I know, Lord Fu's poems are well-known throughout the world. Why did they buy them?"

"You don't know this, right? We need to analyze the consumer's psychology!"

"It's true that Lord Fu's poems are known throughout the world, but no one has compiled his poems and articles into a book! This is a business opportunity. Look at the cover. Doesn't my drawing look a lot like Lord Fu?"

Fu Xiaoguan took a closer look... Sima Che also stretched his neck. She looked at the cover, then looked at Fu Xiaoguan, and chuckled.

"Although I have never met Lord Fu, not many people in the world have seen him, so I naturally painted him as a handsome man, which suits the tastes of many women."

Yun Xiyan flipped through the pages complacently. "This title page! The world's top writer, the dream lover of millions of girls, the collection of Fu Xiaoguan's poems. You deserve it! These words strike a chord with those girls! They were already mesmerized by Master Fu's charm after seeing the cover, and after flipping through this title page, how could they bear it?"

"Alas...what a pity."

"What a pity?"

"If we could really get Lord Fu's autograph, and if he didn't pursue the responsibility and published it in a bookstore with great fanfare, the profit would be no less than that of A Dream of Red Mansions!"

I was careless!

Fu Xiaoguan really hadn't thought of this idea.

"A Dream of Red Mansions" is still being published today, but he doesn't know how many copies are left, and he hasn't asked about it for a long time.

If I could really publish this collection of poems, I think I could make some extra money.

He just thought about it. All three wives at home were pregnant, and he didn't have the energy to deal with it, so he didn't take it to heart.

Sun Tuobei brought the hot pot himself, the charcoal fire in the middle of the table lit up, and then the waiter brought various ingredients.

Fu Xiaoguan opened the wine and poured a glass for Yun Xiyan, looked at Sima Che, and poured her a glass as well.

"When it comes to hotpot, mutton tripe, duck intestines, and duck blood are the best. Yellow throat and broth are also good. Brain flower... those who are good at it will love it. Lotus root slices, phoenix tail, and various mushrooms are all delicious just by dipping them in."

Yun Xiyan was delighted. "Brother Fu seems to know the taste very well. I just don't know if Brother Sima... can you really handle spicy food like this?"

Sima Che almost cried when he saw the red pot.

The food in Jiangnan is mostly light, and she simply couldn't imagine a pot of red peppers like this.

At this moment, the temperature gradually rose, the thick layer of chili inside rolled, oil smoke rose, and a pungent smell hit the face.

“Ah… sneeze!”

Sima Che turned his head and sneezed violently, and tears really flowed out.

Fu Xiaoguan laughed heartily. "Don't try to show off. How about... you order some stir-fried dishes?"

Sima Che took a handkerchief and wiped his nose, "No, I can eat it!"

Xiao Xing'er looked at her young lady with great concern. This thing... can you really eat it?

"Come on, come on, it's time to eat!"

Fu Xiaoguan's appetite was aroused. He picked up a piece of tripe and put it in the pot. "You need to count to three for this thing, otherwise it will be overcooked and not tasty."

He picked up the tripe and put it on Xu Xinyan's plate. He also picked up a duck intestine, rinsed it, and put it on Sima Che's plate.

"Try it first, if it doesn't work, try something else."

Then he took a colander and scalded a piece of duck blood, put it in his mouth and took a bite. The spicy, fresh, fragrant and hot feeling immediately filled his taste buds.

"Mm, not bad, this tastes really good!"

"Cough cough cough cough..." Sima Che only took a bite. This was the food that Fu Xiaoguan had picked for him personally. Her heart was filled with sweetness, but she started coughing violently because of the spiciness.

“Ahem…yes…cough cough cough, I can eat it!”

Fu Xiaoguan laughed out loud.

Sima Che was embarrassed, but he picked up a piece of tripe and put it into the pot, "Isn't it just spicy? Spicy, spicy, I'll get used to it!"

The red soup in the hot pot was bubbling, and the ingredients inside were floating in the pot. Sima Che seemed to be competing with it. She fiercely picked up the cooked tripe and blew on it on the plate. Then she closed her eyes, opened her mouth, and stuffed it in...

"hiss……"

She grinned and fanned herself with her hands, but then she felt that this was not very elegant, so she quickly closed her mouth, chewed the food whole, stretched her neck, and swallowed it.

Yun Xiyan gave a thumbs up in shock: "Brother Sima, you are a real man!"
