After breakfast, after Li Changan delivered the wine, he took Liu Zhiyin and walked slowly outside the city.
The city gate is particularly lively today, with more pedestrians coming and going.
Li Changan took Liu Zhiyin to a tea stall near the orchard and ordered a pot of tea.
"Erlang... what are we going to do?" Liu Zhiyin still didn't dare to look at Li Changan. His cheeks were always red, as if they were stained with peach blossoms.
"Watch a show." Li Changan first poured a cup of tea for Liu Zhiyin, and then drank it himself, "Today the orchard will sell out all the hawthorn fruits at once."
Liu Zhiyin looked at Li Changan in confusion, "Isn't it possible? So many hawthorn fruits were sold out in one day, and no one wants so many."
"Sell the receipt for hawthorn fruit for a period of time, and you can collect the hawthorn fruit with the receipt." Li Changan explained, "So there will probably be a lot of people coming today."
"Ah? Let's buy some, too? If there are no hawthorn fruits, we can't make candied haws." Liu Zhiyin became anxious upon hearing this and subconsciously stood up.
If the candied haws business is lost, there is no hope of redeeming the little girl.
By the time……
There are only twenty-three days left before the agreed time.
You have to think of ways to make money every day.
Li Changan quickly stopped Liu Zhiyin, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the candied haws business will not be affected."
"Believe me."
After Liu Zhiyin heard this, he slowly sat down, but his eyes were still on the crowd that was gathering at the entrance of the orchard.
The tea stall was also full of business today, everyone was waiting.
"I didn't expect Old Tang to be so good at business."
"Isn't it? You actually sell the bills and then use the bills to get the hawthorn fruits. It's really amazing. I sold all the hawthorn fruits in the back at once, and I didn't worry that no one would want them."
"Yes, the candied haws fruit business is so popular. There are many people selling it in small towns outside Linxian County. He will pack all the hawthorn fruits in one day and sell them. Anyone who wants to do business must work hard.
Rob."
The buzz around him reached his ears, which made Liu Zhiyin feel anxious.
"Erlang, let's go quickly. If the hawthorn fruits are really robbed, our candied haws business will be completely gone."
Li Changan smiled and comforted Liu Zhiyin, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Erlang knows what's going on."
The guests at the next table were also talking,
"What's even more amazing is that Old Tang actually fixed the quantity of the bills. Each bill weighs ten kilograms and will not be retailed."
As soon as these words came out, several people exclaimed,
"Ten pounds is a bit much for one person. It can be divided between two people. If you can't use it all in a day, it will be stale. Does anyone want to buy it?"
"This is where he is shrewd." One person said in a low voice, "Yesterday, only two stalls in Sanyangmen in the entire county had candied haws. Later, the method of preserving them was spread."
"So even if ten pounds is a bit much, most people will bite the bullet and buy it. It can be stored anyway."
"Hiss..." Several people couldn't help but gasped, "Has this old Tang changed his mind?"
"I even suspect that the method of storing hawthorn fruits was passed down by him."
"It's almost the same..."
Hearing this, Liu Zhiyin couldn't help but look at Li Changan with wide eyes.
Li Changan raised his finger, made a "shush" gesture, and nodded slightly.
"Erlang..."
Liu Zhiyin's voice was trembling, and her body was even shaking. She somewhat figured it out, but she wasn't sure.
She tried her best to lower her voice, approached Li Changan and asked,
"Did you and Boss Tang plan these together?"
His breath was like orchid, and the fragrance entered his nose. Li Changan was stunned for a moment, then touched his nose and said, "It's almost the same."
Liu Zhiyin glared at Li Changan, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier? It always makes me worry."
At this time, everyone at the tea stall heard the letter, got up one after another, and gathered in the orchard.
There is a large area of black water at the entrance of the orchard.
Li Changan finally opened his eyes. He saw many candied haws for sale while walking down the streets.
But the scale of the gathering this time was much larger than expected.
Liu Zhiyin was no longer so anxious, and waited quietly with Li Changan.
Li Changan stood up, walked around the entrance of the orchard, looked at Boss Tang from a distance and nodded, then returned to the tea stall.
"Erlang, how did you and Boss Tang split up? He wouldn't just swallow all these things, right?" Liu Zhiyin was still worried.
After all, even if Li Changan came up with this method, if the other party doesn't admit it in the end, Li Changan will be helpless.
"Don't worry, I've already signed the deed, asked the Yamen to do justice, and took my fingerprints." Li Chang'an added some tea to Liu Zhiyin,
"And all the hawthorn fruits sold in the past three days belong to Old Tang, which can be regarded as a benefit to him."
"It turns out that the price increase a few days ago was all because of you." When Liu Zhiyin heard this, he couldn't help but want to pull Li Changan's ears, "Did you feel happy when you heard me complain?"
"Sister-in-law, forgive me, how dare I?" Li Changan quickly begged for mercy.
Liu Zhiyin looked around, they were the only two people left at the tea stall, and said in a low voice, "Okay, Erlang, stop hiding it and tell me what happened."
"Sister-in-law, do you still remember? I told you before, the more people who secretly learn the art of candied haws, the better?" Li Changan asked.
Liu Zhiyin nodded.
"Actually, the candied haws business is not about how much we can sell, but how big the business can be." Li Changan said softly,
"So when my sister-in-law had a sister who secretly learned it and sold it, it was really nothing. The more I learned, the happier I was."
"So many people in Linxian County are selling candied haws on a stick. They make a lot of money, but in the end they are just preparing for today."
Li Changan looked at the crowd gathered at the entrance of the orchard and grinned.
"The day after I confirmed that the candied haws on a stick can be sold, I bought all the hawthorn fruits in the garden."
The soft words fell into Liu Zhiyin's ears, and they were like the sound of thunder. Liu Zhiyin's head was buzzing and shaking, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
Even though she had expectations just now, she only thought that Erlang could get a share of the pie, but she never expected that Erlang would take all the hawthorn fruits.
This is no longer as simple as sharing a piece of the pie, it is basically a pot of soup.
Liu Zhiyin opened his mouth, but found that he could not say a word, his heart and liver were trembling, and his eyes kept staring at Li Changan, with mixed emotions.
At this time, there was a burst of exclamation in the orchard, "What!? Are you robbing money?"
"Ten pounds of hawthorn fruit costs 150 cents? Who would buy it if it's so expensive?"
The crowds of people almost overturned the orchard.
"If you don't want to buy it, you can go back now. Forgive Old Tang, there's nothing I can do." Boss Tang shouted loudly with a tin speaker.
Liu Zhiyin swallowed nervously, feeling dizzy, "Er... Erlang, how much... for one bill?"
"One hundred and fifty articles." Li Changan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, have you forgotten? We discussed it at the beginning."
"Don't worry, not many of these people who call you expensive will actually leave."
As expected, only a few of those who were shouting left the crowd, while the rest kept gathering there.
…
The gate tower of the county seat,
Two figures stood on it, looking at the chaotic and noisy orchard. One woman was standing behind, wearing a long cyan skirt, and the other was wearing a white shirt, holding a folding fan, looking at the tea stall with interest.
"Young... Young Master, don't we have some business to do? Why are we here to see these people buying hawthorn fruits?" The person who spoke was none other than Cui Yue, the maid who received the envoy from the academy.
"There's no one here, just call me Miss."
"It's all Miss's bad taste. She always lets the servants call you Young Master..." Cuiyue felt aggrieved.
Bai Yi tapped Cui Yue on the head with a folding fan, "You still dare to contradict me?"
Cuiyue covered her forehead and pouted, "I understand, the young lady's appearance is so beautiful that she is the most beautiful woman in the world. If her true appearance is revealed, it will be inconvenient, so she disguises herself as a man."
"But Miss, you haven't said what you are doing here yet? What's so interesting about a group of people grabbing hawthorn fruits?"
"Aren't we still going to find Xiantian...then what?"
Baiyi smiled slightly, with a slight curve in the corners of his delicate mouth, and a look of interest in his eyes that seemed to be shrouded in mist.
"The two people at the tea stall are interesting. A large group of people went to grab hawthorn fruits, but they sat firmly on the Diaoyutai."
