"I thought this pepper would not be sold anymore, but I didn't expect it!"
"Hehe, the green pepper and pork are fried together, which is really a perfect match. I was worried that I would never be able to eat this kind of good thing again."
"A pound costs only eight cents, which is an ordinary family for people. You can buy one pound a month and then add some pork..."
"Think about the price of pepper now, it's almost two cents per pound. This is really cheap."
"If the peppers can be more in the future, the price will definitely drop. Then ordinary people can eat this pepper every day like those nobles."
"Although the price of this dried chili is a bit expensive, they said just now that they can buy one or two taels, and one or two taels, it is almost the same as the price of a pound of chili."
"I heard that this dried chili is better than pepper."
The streets of Xishi have been crowded with people who have heard the news.
It's really impossible to squeeze in.
Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang stood behind, looking at the people of Chang'an City shoulder to shoulder, and their faces showed joy.
As long as the pepper is recognized by the people, Zhao Chen will be absolutely sure to take this industry in his own hands.
First of all, he helped the emperor so much that he was not easy to get involved in this profitable business.
In addition, those aristocratic families control huge wealth by relying on pepper.
The emergence of peppers will surely hit their foundation economically.
Coupled with the popularity of cheap paper and movable type printing, the prestige of the aristocratic family will plummet in no time.
"Oh, I feel a little regretful now. I've made such a big noise." Zhao Chen said to the three people around him with a smile.
"What's wrong? Are you worried about those aristocratic families?" Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen and smiled.
"After all, it's a great family and there are many ways. If the emperor doesn't protect me, then I'll be really dead."
"This time, it's really a bit of a risk." Zhao Chen smiled and said.
His only bet now is that the emperor will give up and completely break with the aristocratic family.
Protect his Zhao Chen's life.
In fact, Zhao Chen had begun to worry before that in order to make the emperor more thoroughly, he would stimulate the shopkeepers yesterday.
Let them say such ruthless words in front of the emperor.
The emperor was very angry, but after all, the emperor's mind was so easy to see through without thinking that ordinary people.
"Don't worry, we will all stand with you. If we can't stay in Chang'an City, I will wander around the world like my mother when she was young." Li Ruoshuang comforted.
"Zhao Chen, don't worry, we must be on your side. At worst, we will escape from Chang'an City with you."
"Yes, my father is getting better anyway, maybe he can have another one..."
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu expressed their opinions one after another.
This made Zhao Chen feel very heartwarming.
"Okay." Zhao Chen nodded, his eyes falling on the pepper sales office in front of him.
After all, it is at the foot of the emperor, and the people of Chang'an City have some spare money.
Besides, they had known for a long time that the pepper tasted great.
Now it's so cheap, many people want to buy some and try the taste.
"I want a pound of green peppers and give me some fresh ones."
"I want it too. I want five kilograms and give me one more."
"Hey, you bought it, can you let me in? I want to buy eight liang of dried chili peppers."
"Hey, don't squeeze, I've stepped on all these shoes for you bastards."
Among the crowded crowds, there were frequent rushes and scoldings.
The consumption capacity of the people in Chang'an City gave Zhao Chen a new impression.
"Zhao Chen, we really have to make a fortune today." Cheng Chumo put on Zhao Chen's shoulder and looked at the crowd rushing for purchases with excitement on his face.
"Zhao Chen, do you think that on the day our bookstore opened, will it be as lively as today's scene?" Qin Huaiyu said expectantly.
They have been running around for the bookstore.
If the bookstore is not done well at that time, I don’t know how disappointed I will be.
"Don't worry, don't you know Zhao Chen's ability?"
"He was not perfect and beautiful in that matter." Li Ruoshuang replied, looking at Zhao Chen's eyes shining.
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu looked at each other, and strange smiles appeared on their faces.
"Old Cheng, Xiao Qin, the emperor is here, you go and help me pick it up." Zhao Chen said to the two of them with a hint of confusion.
"Ah?" the two of them said in surprise.
Looking forward, she saw Empress Changsun wearing a casual outfit, and slowly approaching here under the protection of several strong men.
...
"Brother, I want two pounds of dried chili."
The customer who wanted to buy pepper at the door of Hu's store squeezed in front of a strong man in front of him.
"Okay." The strong man replied loudly, quickly weighing two kilograms of dried peppers in his hand, wrapped tightly in coarse cloth.
"Young Master, two kilograms...Young Master Luo, when will you go back to Chang'an City?" The strong man looked up and saw the guest in front of him, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
"Just come back." The young man named Luo smiled.
"Mr. Luo, my master has been talking about you for a long time. He is right behind him, not as good as you..."
"Forget it, I still have something to do here. I will go to find him later later." The young man named Luo smiled.
"Hey, okay, then you can walk slowly!" said the strong man with a smile.
When the shopkeeper Hu Shang saw the customer who wanted to buy his pepper just now, he actually bought two kilograms of dried peppers. He felt panic.
But he still had the only hope that the taste of this dried pepper is not as good as that of pepper.
Only in this way can the price of pepper not be affected.
After thinking for a while, the shopkeeper Hu Shang gritted his teeth, squeezed to the front, and said, "Please give me a chunk of dried chili!"
"One qian?" The strong man was stunned.
Before meeting, the shopkeeper Hu Shang was dressed very luxuriously, but when he spoke, he only had one ounce of dried chili.
The degree of stinginess is unheard of.
"Our shopkeeper said that if someone only needs one or two dried chili, just give him two."
"Hey, I'll give you these two chili peppers." The strong man picked out two dried chili peppers and handed them to the shopkeeper Hu Shang in front of him.
The manager Hu Shang's expression looked a little ugly, and he knew that he was ridiculed by the man in front of him.
But I dare not have any dissatisfaction.
He took two dried peppers and quickly squeezed out of the crowd.
Running back to his own shop and closing the door, the shopkeeper Hu Shang couldn't wait to take out a dried chili.
Put it straight into your mouth.
After a few breaths, Hu Shang's shopkeeper burst into tears.
...
"Zhao Chen, I can make another good money today."
Under the protection of Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu, Empress Changsun walked up to Zhao Chen and said to him with a smile.
"I made a little profit." Zhao Chen smiled, indeed guessing the purpose of Empress Changsun's visit.
The west city of Chang'an is too messy.
If Empress Changsun wants to see her, she must go to the tavern instead of coming here.
The reason why she came here must have some special significance.
Could it be the old head Li...
