Chapter 281 I'm an undercover agent for His Majesty
Early the next morning.
There were sudden crackling explosions in various prosperous areas of Chang'an City.
The streets of Chang'an City, which were originally quiet, suddenly became lively.
After a flurry of firecrackers exploded, people suddenly discovered that strange shops had appeared at the crossroads in the bustling road.
There is a big sign hanging at the door: Lao Changan Popsicle.
The shop is not big, and the counter is placed on the threshold. There are no tables or chairs for customers to sit in the shop.
At the door of the store, there were two men holding a loudspeaker and shouting: "Popsicles, Lao Changan Popsicles, delicious and inexpensive, affordable, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, a must-have in summer!"
People gathered around and became curious about the popsicle.
As more and more people gathered around, a middle-aged man took out a popsicle for everyone to watch, and then took a few bites in public.
Although it is morning now, the temperature is slowly rising.
When everyone saw this popsicle, they immediately became interested.
But when I asked about the price, it was ten cents a piece, and I was stunned.
For many people from ordinary backgrounds, ten cents is the cost of a day. If you exchange a day's ration for a popsicle and eat it in your stomach three or two times, who gives you the courage?
So, an hour passed.
The ten newly opened stores of Dream Group attracted countless spectators, but not a single popsicle was sold.
This store near Taipingfang has the best location and the most people watching.
I saw a line of small golden characters below "Old Chang'an Popsicle" on the sign at the door of the store: The Seventh Branch.
Not far away, Du He crossed his arms and looked at him quietly. Standing behind him was actually the civil and military minister of the DPRK and China in regular uniform.
Hou Junji looked anxiously at those people who only asked but did not buy, and thought, if he wins, won't he have to live up to His Majesty's good intentions?
If you don't get the popsicles, it won't be worth it if you get scolded by Li Er.
Du He saw it and asked with a smile: "Mr. Hou, these popsicles can't be sold. Why do you think you are more anxious than me?"
Hou Junji wiped his forehead and shook his head: "Du He, I'm not worried about you. I'm hot. It's getting hotter and hotter today."
Changsun Wuji and others said next to them: "Everyone, please pay attention carefully. You must not buy popsicles. Also, you cannot let people related to Du He buy them. People from the Dream Group and people from the Laiguo Government are not allowed to buy them."
Even worse."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a group of teenagers suddenly appearing not far away.
These teenagers, holding money bags in their hands, walked quickly, and then they came to the store and started shouting loudly.
"Shopkeeper, buy some popsicles!"
"I want ten popsicles!"
"I want five!"
"I want fifteen."
"I only want three!"
In a short time, all the popsicles in the seventh branch were sold out, and they were all bought by these teenagers.
Hou Junji and others were stunned.
They all heard from Du He just now that the seventh branch alone had prepared 200 popsicles today.
In the blink of an eye, all the purchases were made by more than twenty teenagers?
The key is that each of these teenagers held a handful of popsicles in their hands, but instead of eating them all themselves, they distributed them to the surrounding crowd.
What is the origin of these young men?
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Look, those young men, they are students from the Imperial College."
Everyone took a closer look, and sure enough, many of them were familiar to everyone, and were the descendants of ministers in the court.
Everyone turned their heads and glared at Kong Yingda.
Changsun Wuji said angrily: "Master Kong, didn't you agree yesterday that you should go back and warn everyone in the Imperial College not to come out to buy popsicles?"
Kong Yingda looked innocent and said: "I...I can't do anything about this matter. These students all regard the Yi County uncle as their idol. After they found out about this matter yesterday, they threatened to come to support the Yi County uncle. I
I can’t stop it either.”
Since Du He single-handedly promoted the reconstruction of the Imperial College, his prestige among the Imperial College students even surpassed Kong Yingda for a time.
In addition, Du He was young, did things in an eclectic way, and was the richest man in Chang'an. Naturally, he was madly obsessed with a group of teenagers.
No, after receiving news of the bet between Du He and Hou Junji yesterday, a group of guys conspired to support Du He. The most direct way was to bring all their own money bags to buy popsicles.
After a while, I saw the old man running over in a hurry and said to Du He: "Master, master, that's great. A total of two thousand popsicles in our ten branches have been sold out. If I hadn't asked them to close early, I'm afraid that now
We are surrounded by people and can’t leave. Now, there are still many people who want to eat popsicles but can’t buy them.”
When the people around him heard this, they all shouted that it was impossible, thinking that Du He was cheating. How could he sell two thousand popsicles for less than one stick of incense? You must know that just an hour had passed and no one had bought it.
Have some popsicles.
Du He listened to everyone's questions and said with a smile: "Old Fu, tell them, how do you sell popsicles?"
The old man said hurriedly: "No one bought popsicles at first. After the gang of teenagers came, they bought a lot of popsicles and distributed them to everyone. After eating them, many people no longer thought it was expensive and took the initiative to pay for them.
Okay, just like that, our two thousand popsicles were sold out in less than a moment."
Everyone was stunned.
this is okay too?
But I heard Hou Junji next to me suddenly roar happily: "Great, I lost."
When everyone heard this, they thought this guy was crazy, right?
Hou Junji also felt that his reaction was a little abnormal, and hurriedly returned to his normal expression and said: "I am willing to admit defeat, Du He, I lost."
Du He waved his hand.
I saw the old man turn around and run to the No. 10 store. After a while, he brought over a wooden barrel.
Boom.
The barrel fell to the ground.
The old man opened it himself.
I saw a bucket full of popsicles displayed in front of everyone.
When Hou Junji saw him, his eyes shone.
Du He said with a smile but not a smile: "Master Hou, it's still too late to regret now, these are a hundred popsicles!"
Hou Junji waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "What's the problem? I remember when I led the soldiers to attack the Turks, I drank a bucket of water in one breath. If you eat this popsicle, it's almost the same as water, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
.”
"Okay, good man," Du He laughed, "Come here, bring a chair for Mr. Hou."
when.
After the chairs were set up, Hou Junji sat down, rolled up his sleeves, took a popsicle in his left hand and a popsicle in his right hand, and started eating under everyone's gaze, with a happy smile on his face.
Popsicles, so many popsicles are mine... Hahaha... I also have to work undercover for His Majesty, hahaha...
Especially when he saw Zhang Sun Wuji and others around him turning around in envy, Hou Junji became even more proud.
In a short time, he had eaten more than a dozen popsicles, and his mouth felt a little numb. His teeth, which had hurt just a moment ago, no longer felt at all.
The originally sweet and delicious popsicles seemed to have no taste at this time.
The smile on Hou Junji's face gradually disappeared.
