Chapter 280: Bet
A group of men, in less than a moment, ate all the popsicles brought by Duhe.
If you are fast, you can eat two or three sticks, and if you are slow, you can only eat one. The old one didn't even finish eating one and squatted on the ground with his teeth covered, thinking that he would leave the popsicle for another meal, but after a while, the popsicle turned into a puddle of water, leaving only a wooden stick in his hand.
Wei Zheng said dissatisfied: "Duhe, is there any more popsicles?" One more! ”
Du He smiled slightly and said: "Of course there are popsicles, to tell you a good news, starting tomorrow, Dream Group will open ten popsicle shops in Chang'an City, specializing in all kinds of popsicles, round, put, sweet, sour, various flavors, to ensure that everyone's needs are met." ”
Someone couldn't help but ask: "This popsicle is indeed a good thing, but I don't know how much money the county boy is going to sell?" ”
Du He picked up a stick and introduced: "It's delicious and not expensive, the price is affordable, a popsicle is 10 yuan." ”
Hiss!
Everyone was stunned.
According to the current market, 10 yuan can allow an adult to survive in Chang'an City for a day.
A scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, if he found an ordinary hotel and ate some ordinary meals, it would only cost 50 wen a day. Xu Zhiyuan, the commander of Chang'an County, had previously calculated that the cost of eating for each victim every day was only about 5 yuan.
A popsicle in Duhe costs 10 yuan, which is a huge profit.
"This popsicle is just ice, the entrance is gone, it's still hot after eating, Uncle Yiyi County, you want to sell it for 10 yuan, I'm afraid no one will buy it."
"yes, it's too expensive."
Everyone is not optimistic about Duhe's business.
When Du He heard this, he just smiled and didn't say anything.
At this time, he saw Hou Junji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, standing up, holding his beard, and said loudly: "Duhe, 10 yuan for a popsicle, I'm afraid that your business will be yellow." ”
Du He smiled and asked rhetorically, "Lord Hou, how can you see it?" ”
Hou Junji said with a serious face: "Anyway, I think you will definitely not be able to do this business, why don't we make a bet?" ”
"Oh?" Du He looked at Hou Junji's serious appearance and asked curiously, "I don't know how Lord Hou bets?" ”
Hou Junji paused and said, "I bet you won't be able to sell five hundred popsicles tomorrow, otherwise, I will eat a hundred popsicles in one go." How is it? ”
Everyone thinks, Hou Junji is crazy, right?
Du He pursed his lips and said, "This is too insincere, right?" Lord Hou, since you want to make a bet, then let's have some excitement, if you lose, not only do you have to eat a hundred popsicles, but also come to work in my dream group for a month? ”
Hou Junji thought about it carefully, and just wanted to refuse, but when he looked up, he saw Li Er behind the crowd nodding at him.
Hou Junji laughed: "Bet on it, but if I win, Du He, you will provide free popsicles for everyone every day for a year from now on, how about it?" ”
"Good!"
"A gentleman's word ......"
"Whip the horse!"
The two hands are clasped together.
Everyone applauded.
Everyone hopes that Hou Junji can win, and in that case, they will be able to eat popsicles.
Li Er at the back of the crowd looked like an unfathomable old fox.
Subsequently, Du He left the Taiji Hall.
Everyone gathered around Hou Junji.
"Lord Hou, you must win tomorrow."
"Yes, Haozhi, Du He's ability to make money, everyone can see it, five hundred popsicles, if he really sells it by then, then you will be miserable."
Hou Junji said with a proud face: "Don't worry, I, Hou Junji, have been fighting on the battlefield for many years in my life, and I have never fought uncertain battles, this time, I am bound to win, tomorrow, everyone will wait for my good news, and when the time comes, let Du He invite everyone to eat popsicles for free for a year...... Of course, in order to ensure tomorrow's victory, everyone must remember that even if you die of heat, don't buy popsicles, and you must supervise with me, and don't let the people of the Dream Group buy popsicles. ”
"Okay, Hiroyuki really took precautions."
"I'm sure I'll have your back."
The crowd snapped for a while.
Immediately, after Li Er announced his retirement from the dynasty, Hou Junji stayed alone and followed Li Er into the imperial study.
When he came to the imperial study, Li Eryi waved his hand and sent all the people around him out.
Hou Junji asked curiously: "Your Majesty, if I lose this time, I will have to work in the Dream Group for a month, why would Your Majesty give up and agree?" ”
At that time, Hou Junji originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw Li Er's eyes, he agreed, but he was very confused in his heart, and he didn't know what Li Er wanted to do.
Li Er sat on the swivel chair and asked, "Haozhi, how much do you know about the Dream Group?" ”
When Hou Junji heard this, he hurriedly regained his solemn expression and said: "Your Majesty, although I have sent a lot of secret guards to keep an eye on the Dream Group during the day, Duhe's Dream Group is like an iron plate, what is inside has not been completely figured out until now, and it has been replaced twice in three days...... Previously, I asked the dark guard to pretend to be a disaster victim and want to blend in, and I didn't know what Du He's ability to pass through, so I recognized all these people, and then all of them were blasted out, and now, it's not impossible for our people to enter the Dream Group, but after entering, they can only work at the bottom, what is it like above, no one knows! ”
Li Er listened to it and nodded again and again: "There are too many secrets on Du He's body, cannons, gunpowder, popsicles, all of them are the auspicious fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, fortunately, this son is young, although he likes to mess around, but he has a good character, and he will never do anything unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty, but I am also very curious, how many secrets he has, this time, if you lose the bet, just go to the Dream Group for a month, and find out for me, how many things are in this Dream Group." ”
Hou Junji thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, Princess Runan, Princess Changle, the two princesses are now in the Dream Group, and they are still in important positions, why not let the two princesses pass all the secrets back to the palace." ”
Syllable.
Before the words fell, I saw Li Er slap on the table, and said angrily: "The female university is not staying, the female university is not staying, I have already sent someone to take Yuanshu and Lizhi back to the palace, who knows, the two daughters refused, and said that they were in a hurry to make money in the Dream Group, and they couldn't come back for a while, as for the secrets I wanted, Lizhi's little girl even refused, and told me what trade secrets ......"
Hou Junji: "......"
He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, the minister's bet tomorrow will definitely be lost." ”
"Yes, this is a good opportunity." Li Er groaned.
Hou Junji was immediately overjoyed, and said secretly in his heart: "If you lose the bet, not only can you go undercover to the Dream Group, but you can also eat a hundred popsicles, the most beautiful thing in the world, that's it." ”
