Changle Fang, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is being staged in the small theater, the guests in the box hold their breath, looking at the decisive battle between good and evil on the curtain, the rumored Xiyang shadow puppet show is really wonderful, so that these businessmen who boast of having seen the big scene can't take their eyes off it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The exception was Anturo, who, although struck by the vocal music of the shadow puppetry, was more interested in the snack in his hand, the so-called "popcorn", which he simply could not imagine how it was made.

The instinct to do business has seeped into the blood of all Sogdians, and it is based on the instinct to ponder the profit points of Changle Fang, which many may ignore.

Where will popcorn be found? Antura could not have imagined that the Sogdian caravans that traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers would share anecdotes with each other, but Antura had never heard of "popcorn" or anything like that anywhere in the world.

There are many types of snacks, including pretzels, pretzel shrimp, pretzel pork ribs, pretzel tenderloin, pretzel lotus root strips and other snacks, all of which have one thing in common, that is, they all have the word "pretzel and salt".

These snacks taste good, watching the wonderful shadow puppet show, eating one piece after another, can't stop at all, Anturo can taste the taste of pepper from these foods, so he thinks that the meaning of pepper and salt is probably pepper and salt.

Is it simply mixing peppercorns and salt together to cook food? Unlike Anturo, he reminisced about the taste of peppercorns and found that the peppercorns in this "salt and pepper" tasted more fragrant.

So this must have been pre-processed, could it be that the cooking technique of 'stir-frying' was used?

"Shopkeeper An, could it be that the pretzels are not appetizing?"

Seeing that the king was asking more and more, Anturo asked directly: "Shopkeeper Wang, what is this salt and pepper?" ”

"Sichuan pepper and salt are mixed together and fried, that is pepper and salt, but this has skills, and if the heat is not mastered well or fried badly, it will be self-defeating."

With an expression of "sure enough", Anturo looked around, and found that most of the snacks on the table of his peers had been eaten, and after a moment's mental calculation, he came up with an astonishing price:

After watching a play, I am afraid that the consumption of this box will be no less than 30 yuan.

It was Wang Yue who invited him today, so Anturo didn't know how much the relevant costs were, but he could roughly estimate a price range, and the consumption of watching a play was at least 30 times, which was not something ordinary people could afford.

There are ten people here, and the per capita consumption is three times, and the magnates in Yecheng are probably more than a few times per meal, and tens of thousands of dollars (dozens of times) are common for a daily eclipse.

Therefore, the target customers of Changle Fang are the rich, and among its profits, the income from movie tickets may be ranked second, and the first place is the snacks consumed by the spectators.

The snacks are delicious, crisp and delicious, but very salty and dry, so you have to drink water to quench your thirst if you eat too much, what lemonade, mint water or tea, the guests are constantly drinking, the first cup of tea is free, but the sales of lemonade and mint water are also good.

Changing the way to make people consume, and unconsciously making money, the person who can come up with this method is really a qualified profiteer!

Thinking of this, Anturo suddenly had the appearance of someone in his mind, he had already heard people mention it when he came, Changle Fang is said to be related to this person, no wonder...

Seeing that everyone's lemonade was almost drunk, Wang Yue clapped his hands gently, and when the guests looked at him, he smiled slightly: "Everyone, what is being presented now is a special drink from Huangzhou, and Wang dares to guarantee that you have never drunk it elsewhere." ”

The guests here were stunned when they heard this, and then they all had skeptical expressions, they were all wealthy businessmen or representatives from Yecheng, they had never seen any big scenes, and they had never tasted anything delicious and fun, although the shadow puppet show was indeed a must, but Wang Yue would not be too big to say this?

"Since the shopkeeper Wang said so, then I will wait and see."

Several maids walked into the box with a tray, and the teardrop-shaped glass bottle on the tray attracted the attention of the guests, and through the faint light in the room, you could see the liquid in the glass bottle.

Each guest has a glass bottle on his desk, the mouth of the bottle is corked, and the maid pierces the wooden cork with a special spiral-shaped long cone, and then pulls the cork out by moving the crossbar at the end of the cone.

The moment the cork was loosened, there was a "bang" sound, as if there was gas rushing out of the bottle, the sound was not loud, and it did not scare the guests, but everyone was attracted by this sound: what kind of liquid is in the bottle, and there is such a sound?

Some people noticed that there were water droplets hanging on the outer wall of the glass bottle, which means that the glass bottle has been chilled, so there is nothing unusual in this treatment, as long as there is an ice cellar so hot that this can be done.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this thing is called soda, it is a specialty of Huangzhou, please enjoy it." Wang Yue made a brief introduction and motioned for the maids to fill the guests with sodas.

'Huangzhou specialty? Could it be that the King of Xiyang is playing tricks again. ’

Anturo sneered, picked up the cup suspiciously, and the moment his lips touched the soda in the cup, he felt that it was unusual: there seemed to be bubbles in the water, and after touching his lips, they burst open, so it made people feel slightly numb.

The soda is cold and slightly sweet at the same time, and it seems to be a little "spicy", and then it goes down the throat and into the stomach, and then there is nothing special about it.

After drinking a few glasses in a row, Anturo didn't think that this "soda" had any other characteristics, if it was just by relying on the strange feeling brought by the bubbles in it, there would probably be no gimmick once the freshness passed.

Looking around, Anturo found that the guests present were all strange, and everyone tacitly felt that this "gas water" had no characteristics except for bubbles, and even those who had never drunk it probably couldn't arouse their interest in drinking.

Although the effect of soda is not very good, everyone is considering the choice of words, and they don't want to spoil Wang Yue's interest, after all, the other party is so careful to treat guests with soda, and it is always inappropriate for them not to say some good things.

But this drink is really not brilliant, and it is not good to tout too sensitively, so as not to be ridiculed by others for not being knowledgeable.

Anturo struggled too, but he soon began to struggle with something else: his stomach began to distend, just like it did when he had a tummy twist.

Just as he was worried about whether he would eat a bad stomach, Anturo suddenly felt a breath of air rushing up in his abdomen, and when he saw that he was about to burp, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand, trying to keep his voice as low as possible to avoid being rude, but the breath was too strong to suppress it.

"Hiccup!"

With this hiccup, Anturo only felt that the heat in his whole body suddenly dissipated, and it was much cooler in an instant, and at the same time, the hiccups came one after another, everyone look at me, I see you embarrassed.

"Hahaha, it was Wang's negligence, the soda can't be drunk too quickly, if you slow down between each glass, the sound of hiccups will not be so loud, but the effect of cooling off the heat is still very good."

Wang Yue played a round game, after all, it was a bit rude to burp too loudly in public, but this was the effect he wanted.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I don't know how many flavors this soda has?" Anturo was the first to come back to his senses and began to cut to the point, he saw the profit prospect of this drink in an instant.

"Yes, yes, shopkeeper Wang, how many flavors does this soda have?"

The others also came back to their senses, everyone is a well-informed businessman, the brain is not ordinary flexible, this magic soda is really special, although the hiccups are a little indecent after drinking, but since you can avoid it by drinking it slowly, it is much easier to promote.

"Qi water", as the name suggests, there is gas in the water, what about rich people drinking and burping themselves at home? Cooling off is what these people need most!

A hiccup, the heat on the body is also gone, the whole body is comfortable, this feeling in the hot day, can make people pay money without hesitation, not to mention those rich and noble gentlemen who fight for wealth and play with each other when they play together!

"Don't worry, there are several flavors of soda, and everyone will taste them slowly."

Wang Yue was very satisfied with everyone's reaction speed and performance, which was all expected by him, and the soda made by the formula discovered by his owner, Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen "accidentally", is indeed rare in the world.

Rich people like this "rare" tone, and although the pricing principle of soda determines that the price will not be ridiculously high, the production cost is really low, so the profit is quite amazing.

It is foreseeable that the "money" of soda is immeasurable, and Yuwenwen found another way to make a drink into a money-making commodity, which made Wang Yue admire, and in order to maximize benefits, soda was the first target of the "bidding conference".

"Ladies and gentlemen, the King of Xiyang has presented this kind of drink recipe to the Son of Heaven, but its raw materials are only available in Shannan, and the contempt will also promote soda in Yecheng, and the output is absolutely guaranteed, I wonder if anyone is interested in cooperating with the contempt?"
