After half a stick of incense, Qin Huaiyu looked at the people with red eyes.
The spicy and dazzling smell made him never dare to grab it again.
"Hehe, Xiao Qin, if you caught something you shouldn't have caught..." Cheng Chumo approached Qin Huaiyu and said in a lewd manner.
Then he saw Qin Huaiyu furious on his face, chased Cheng Chumo and ran away.
In the pepper field, only Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang were left.
"Ruoshuang, help pick some chili peppers, and you will take them back to cook at noon." Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang said.
When Li Ruoshuang heard Zhao Chen calling him like this, her heart felt as sweet as honey.
"Okay, I'll go now, you can rest here." Li Ruoshuang walked happily to the field, carrying a bamboo basket that the village chief had just left here.
...
The few people lived in the village for one more day and then returned to Chang'an City.
The peppers in the village also began to be delivered to the warehouse in Chang'an City.
But strangely, Zhao Chen did not directly start selling peppers in the two cities of Chang'an.
Two days later.
All the peppers in Wannian County have been picked.
After the villagers brought the peppers, Zhao Chen did not ask them to go back to the village immediately.
Instead, they booked an inn for them in Chang'an City.
On the morning of the next day, many strange people appeared on the streets of the east and west cities of Chang'an City.
They set up a stove to make a fire directly in this street market.
Sauce the meat with fragrant peppers and cook it in the pan.
It immediately attracted the people of Chang'an City who lived here, as well as merchants from all walks of life who rested in Chang'an City.
Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang sat in a teahouse in the distance and drank tea, looking at this side.
Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo were at the villagers to prevent anyone from making trouble.
"Zhao Chen, can this work?" Li Ruoshuang said with some concern.
Although the twenty acres of peppers look quite a lot, there are not many to sell if they really need to be sold.
Now Zhao Chen actually said that he would let the people of the East and West cities taste it first.
Pepper is so expensive, the price of peppers will definitely not be too low.
After these people eat, they won’t think about buying these things.
Isn’t this obviously a meat bun hitting a dog, and there is no return to it?
Li Ruoshuang was puzzled, so she thought that she would definitely lose a lot of money like this.
"The weather in Chang'an City these days is good. Except for the red peppers that are exposed to the sun outside, they can be guaranteed to be undamaged, but those green peppers must be sold as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, it will definitely be broken over time, and you will lose more at that time."
"Our target is not the people of Chang'an City, but the rich and wealthy businessmen, nobles, and even the royal family."
"We must use the word of mouth of the people to achieve the effect of advertising," Zhao Chen explained.
"What does ads mean?" Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen curiously.
"The meaning of publicity is to spread it." Zhao Chen smiled.
People in the distance have already started to eat fried pork with chili.
Zhao Chen also heard the praises from the people.
"I'll tell you!" Li Ruoshuang muttered, her face full of admiration, and said, "Zhao Chen, you are so awesome and you know a lot."
Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment when Li Ruoshuang praised this, and then showed a relieved smile.
"Zhao Chen, look, half the streets of people are surrounded in front, and I can smell the fragrance."
"Bang dang--"
As soon as Li Ruoshuang finished speaking, he heard a sound in the teahouse.
All the guests who had originally had tea ran outside.
Even the teahouse shopkeeper ran out.
Before leaving, he shouted: "Young master, lady, two people in tea and water, please give me some advice, and the villain goes ahead and take a look."
A small area on the streets of Dongshi is crowded with people and shoulder to shoulder.
At first glance, there was no place to stand.
The yamen runners in charge of order in the East City did not even know what happened in front of them, and were squeezed far away by the people.
...
"Zhao Chen, I didn't expect that the method you mentioned would have such a miraculous effect. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it."
In the afternoon, several people returned to the tavern, and the villagers also returned to the inn.
Just have another event tomorrow and Chili’s reputation can be fully exaggerated.
Cheng Chumo said to Zhao Chen with an excited look on his face.
Although Qin Huaiyu didn't speak, his expression was like Cheng Chushu.
The two of them never thought that the effect today would be so good.
Today's scene really scared them.
Those people were really one by one, and they wanted to rush up.
When the stall was finally closed, the people were still pestering and asking for a long time.
"Tomorrow, you two will work hard, and someone will come to the door soon." Zhao Chen smiled slightly and said.
"Hey, brother, what can we do together next year?"
"We pay for the money, we find people, and we pay for the income of 30% to 70% of the money, is it okay?" Qin Huaiyu asked with a little hesitation.
Cheng Chumo was also nervous, lowering his head and did not dare to look at Zhao Chen.
What they said was clearly trying to take advantage of Zhao Chen.
Even without them, Zhao Chen could have done a good job.
In fact, there is no need to give them the benefits.
"Brother, don't get me wrong. We both just think that if we can have an industry ourselves..."
"No problem, our relationship cannot be measured by money. Next year's pepper planting income will be given to the villagers in the village, and the remaining 90% will be shared equally by you and me." Zhao Chen smiled and interrupted Cheng Chumo's words.
"How can this be done? We two can only have 30% of the time together, and we don't want it if there is too much."
"We'll go back and get the money now." Qin Huaiyu waved his hand quickly.
They took some advantage from Zhao Chen, which made the two of them feel embarrassed.
How dare you ask for so many?
Before Zhao Chen could speak, the two hurriedly ran out of the tavern.
"Zhao Chen, what about me? I also want to join in." Li Ruoshuang was a little unhappy.
Zhao Chen remembered Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu, and he didn't have her in his heart at all.
"You don't need it. I will leave this chili business to you in the future." Zhao Chen said to Li Ruoshuang with a smile.
"Ah——" Li Ruoshuang was shocked, but she felt extremely happy in her heart.
I thought to myself whether Zhao Chen said this, was he hinting at something?
So do you want to respond to something?
"Zhao..."
Just as Li Ruoshuang was about to speak, she saw Zhao Chen's face, which was still smiling just now.
Li Ruoshuang looked forward and saw a carriage coming from the street ahead.
It was clearly the one that the emperor often rode on before.
On the side of the carriage, Wei Zheng, the counselor, followed him to come.
"Zhao Chen, since you know your Majesty's identity, you must not do anything stupid." Li Ruoshuang grabbed Zhao Chen's hand and persuaded him.
Li Ruoshuang was really afraid that Zhao Chen would be impulsive and would directly make the emperor unable to come to Taiwan.
If that were the case, wouldn’t the emperor be upset?
This is too dangerous for Zhao Chen.
"I'm fine." Zhao Chen patted Li Ruoshuang's hand and said with a smile.
Li Ruoshuang nodded, thinking that Zhao Chen was standing here and waiting like him.
Who knew that Zhao Chen had walked forward a few steps and then closed the gate of the tavern.
This is to stop the emperor outside.
Chapter completed!
