A group of men ate up all the popsicles Du He brought in less than a moment.
The fast one can eat two or three sticks, but the slow one can only eat one stick. The older one squats on the ground holding his teeth before finishing even one stick, thinking about eating it. I kept this popsicle to eat later, but a moment later, the popsicle turned into a puddle of water, leaving only a wooden stick in my hand.
Wei Zheng said unsatisfied: "Du He, do you still have these popsicles? More!"
Du He smiled slightly and said: "Of course there are popsicles. Let me tell you some good news. Starting from tomorrow, Dream Group will open ten popsicle shops in Chang'an City, specializing in all kinds of popsicles, round, soft, sweet and sour. The various flavors are guaranteed to meet everyone’s needs.”
Someone couldn't help but ask: "This popsicle is indeed a good thing, but I don't know how much the county uncle is going to sell it for."
Du He picked up a stick and introduced: "It's delicious and inexpensive, and the price is affordable. A popsicle costs 10 cents."
hiss!
Everyone was stunned.
According to the current market conditions, 10 cents can allow an adult to survive in Chang'an City for a day.
If a scholar who comes to Beijing to take the exam finds an ordinary hotel and eats some ordinary meals, it will only cost him 50 yuan a day. Xu Zhiyuan, the magistrate of Chang'an County, has previously calculated that the daily cost of food for each disaster victim is only 5 yuan. About money.
Du He's popsicle costs 10 cents, which is a huge profit.
"These popsicles are just ice. They are gone in the mouth. They are still hot after eating them. Uncle Yixian, if you want to sell them for 10 cents each, I'm afraid no one will buy them."
"Yes, the selling price is too expensive."
Everyone is not optimistic about Du He's business.
When Du He heard this, he just smiled and didn't say anything.
At this time, Hou Junji, the Minister of War, stood up, stroked his beard, and said loudly: "Du He, ten cents per popsicle, I'm afraid your business will be ruined."
Du He smiled and asked: "Master Hou, why do you see this?"
Hou Junji said seriously: "Anyway, I think your business will definitely not be able to continue. How about we make a bet?"
"Oh?" Du He looked at Hou Junji's serious look and asked curiously, "I wonder how Master Hou makes a bet?"
Hou Junji paused and said, "I bet you can't sell five hundred popsicles tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll eat a hundred popsicles in one go. How about that?"
Everyone thought, is Hou Junji crazy?
Du He curled his lips and said: "Isn't this too insincere? Mr. Hou, since you want to bet, let's have something exciting. If you lose, not only will you eat a hundred popsicles, but you will also come to my Dream Group How about working part-time for a month?”
Hou Junji thought about it carefully and was about to refuse. When he looked up, he saw Li Er from behind the crowd nodding towards him.
Hou Junji laughed: "Let's bet, but if I win, Du He, you will provide free popsicles to everyone every day for one year, how about that?"
"good!"
"A gentleman's words..."
"Hurry up and whip your horse!"
Hold the two hands together.
Everyone clapped their hands and applauded.
Everyone hopes that Hou Junji can win, in which case they can eat popsicles.
Li Er, who was behind the crowd, looked like an enigmatic old fox.
Later, Du He left Tai Chi Hall.
Everyone gathered around Hou Junji.
"Master Hou, you must win tomorrow."
"Yes, Haozhi, Du He's ability to make money is obvious to everyone. If he really sells five hundred popsicles by then, you will be in trouble."
Hou Junji said with a proud look on his face: "Don't worry, everyone, I, Hou Junji, have been on the battlefield for many years in my life and never fight an uncertain battle. This time, I am bound to win. Tomorrow, everyone will wait for my good news.
At that time, let Du He spend a lot of money to treat everyone to eat popsicles for free for a year... Of course, in order to ensure victory tomorrow, everyone must remember not to buy popsicles even if it is too hot. I also need you to supervise with me and not let anyone
People from the Dream Group buy popsicles.”
"Okay, Haozhi has indeed prepared for a rainy day."
"We will definitely support you."
Everyone was flattering him.
Immediately, after Li Er announced his resignation, Hou Junji stayed alone and followed Li Er into the imperial study.
Arriving at the Imperial Study Room, Li Eryi waved his hand and sent everyone around him away.
Hou Junji then curiously asked: "Your Majesty, if I lose this time, I will have to work for Dream Group for a month. Why did Your Majesty give up and agree?"
At that time, Hou Junji originally wanted to refuse, but he agreed after seeing the look in Li Er's eyes. However, he was very confused and had no idea what Li Er wanted to do.
Li Er sat on the revolving wooden chair and asked: "Haozhi, how much do you know about Dream Group?"
After hearing this, Hou Junji hurriedly regained his solemn expression and said: "Your Majesty, although I have sent many secret guards to keep an eye on the Dream Group during the day, Du He's Dream Group is like a piece of iron.
What is inside has not yet been fully understood, and it is replaced every three days... Previously, I asked the secret guards to pretend to be victims of the disaster and wanted to get in. I didn't know what Du He's extraordinary ability was, and he actually recognized all these people.
came out, and then they were all blasted out. Now, it is not impossible for our people to enter the Dream Group, but after entering, they can only work at the bottom. No one knows what it is like above!"
Li Er listened and nodded repeatedly: "There are too many secrets in Du He. Cannons, gunpowder, popsicles, all of them are auspicious to the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, this son is young. Although he likes to fool around, he has good character.
Duan Zheng will never do anything detrimental to Datang, but I am also very curious about how many secrets he has. This time, if you lose the bet, just go to Dream Group for a month and find out for me.
How many things does this Dream Group have?"
Hou Junji thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, Princess Runan and Princess Changle, the two princesses are now in the Dream Group and hold important positions, why not let the two princesses pass all the secrets back to the palace.
"
Snapped.
Before he finished speaking, Li Er slapped his hand on the table and said angrily: "The female university is not admitted, the female university is not admitted. I have sent people to take Yuanshu and Lizhi back to the palace. Who knew that these two
My daughter refused, and said that she was anxious to make money in the Dream Group and wouldn't be able to come back for a while. As for the secrets I wanted, that little girl Li Zhi even refused, and she even told me what business secrets she wanted..."
Hou Junji: "..."
He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, I will definitely lose my bet tomorrow."
"Yes, this is a good opportunity." Li Er said thoughtfully.
Hou Junji immediately became happy and thought to himself: "If I lose the bet, not only can I go to the Dream Group to work as an undercover agent, but I can also eat a hundred popsicles. The most beautiful thing in the world is nothing more than this."
