"Grandma, a bear! I don't eat it! In addition to drinking porridge or drinking porridge every day, I can't even eat a bowl of rice and chopsticks and pickles, what's the point of living like this, it's better to die! ”

In a porridge shop in Chang'an City, an old man who was only over 50 years old angrily threw a bowl of white porridge on the table out of the street, scolding and scolding without a good face.

When he was young, although his family was not rich, he never lacked meat to eat, and now he is well, his children and grandchildren are full, and his life is getting better and better, but the teeth in his mouth are gone, let alone eating meat, even if he wants to eat a bite of porridge pickles, it has become a problem.

The staple food of the day is porridge, if you want to eat something light, it is white porridge, if you want to eat something meaty, it is meat porridge, in short, everything has to be broken before you can swallow, no teeth, the tongue has basically become an ornament, and the beautiful food can only be looked at, if you just keep living, it is really better to die early.

The diner next to him couldn't help but chuckle when he saw it: "This old white head is complaining again, if you really want to die, how can you die, why do you have to go back to this porridge shop every day to have a good time?" ”

"Actually, I also think it's not interesting to live like this, although Lao Tzu is now more than half a hundred years old, but the body is no worse than those young people, at the beginning of a hundred pounds of stone piers can be carried with one arm, just because the bones in the mouth are all gone, every day can not eat dry food, this strength will slip away day by day, now not to mention a hundred pounds of stone piers, even thirty or fifty pounds of things are also difficult to lift."

Another old man also sighed on the side: "If you live like this, you don't want to die anymore, and in three or five years, your body will be so weak that you will run to Huangquan......"

"Alas!"

The old people in the store all sighed, everyone understands this truth, but what's the use of understanding, the teeth are gone, and they can't even chew the steamed buns, what else can they do, just eat and wait for death.

At this time, the owner of the porridge shop brought a bowl of white porridge to the old customer, and seeing that the old man sitting in the room was not very interested, he said loudly: "It's not that there is no way, isn't it that a new ceramic shop that can make dentures has opened in the east of the city?" Didn't you go over and try it? If the dentures they made really worked, the old ones wouldn't have to be so anxious to get on fire anymore sighing. ”

"Dentures?" The old white head who had just poured porridge lit up, but soon dimmed again, and sighed: "That's a special thing for those noble lords, and the cheapest pair of dentures costs 3,000 yuan, no matter how effective it is, it's not something that we ordinary people can afford." ”

"yes." Another old man also sighed: "I went over to ask when the 'Pure Porcelain Zhai' was newly opened, 3,000 guan is just a threshold, and even 10,000 guan is higher, not to mention us little people, even those officials who are on errands in the yamen may not be able to afford it." ”

"Spend 3,000 yuan to buy a pair of dentures, doesn't this mean that we want our Bai family to go bankrupt, in this case, it is better to let Lao Tzu starve to death!"

"Of course we can't afford it, but there are more rich people in Chang'an City, and I heard that from the opening of the 'Jing Porcelain Zhai' to the present, in just one month, more than 100 pairs of dentures have been sold, and many old men are directly prepared according to the highest price of 10,000 yuan."

Speaking of which, many old people showed an expression of envy, jealousy and hatred on their faces, it is really better for people to die than others, and goods for goods to be thrown away, no way, who let them themselves have no money without others?

The old white head sighed again: "The minimum is three thousand yuan, and most of them are sold by those powerful lords in Chang'an City, and then look at the current 'Pure Porcelain Zhai', it has been a month, and they can still open the shop in Chang'an City so unharmed, which shows that their dentures really work, and those big men are also very satisfied after using them, otherwise, how can they tolerate him to keep opening it like this?" ”

"Dentures, his grandmother's, why are they sold so expensive, if they can be cheaper, only three or five hundred yuan will be able to make up for it, and now, I can only watch this annoying white porridge to live......"

The old people in the porridge shop drank white porridge and sighed for a long time, all longing for a pair of dentures that fit and could feast as much as they did when they were younger. It's a pleasure to think about it, but now, all they can do is think about it in their heads. Such expensive dentures are indeed not something they can afford.

"Young master, that Yu Younian is really too much, he dared to sell one or two hundred dentures for a high price of three thousand or even ten thousand, and his conscience was all eaten by dogs!"

In an inconspicuous corner of the porridge shop, Wan'er was eating steamed buns, listening to the discussion between the old people, and her little mouth couldn't help but pout.

Others don't know what's going on with dentures, but Tang Xiu and the three of them know it, after all, the method of making dentures in 'Jing Porcelain Zhai' was bought back from Tang Xiu, and Tang Xiu and they are also clear about the true price of dentures.

That's why Wan'er is so angry, it's obviously a good deal that can both gain fame and make a lot of money, but now he has been made miserable by Yu Younian, and he dares to get three thousand or even ten thousand dentures? !

"yes." Seeing the appearance of these old people, and thinking about the state of Mrs. Tai in the house before she had no dentures, Pei Cai'er began to be a little dissatisfied with Yu Younian and the 'Pure Porcelain Zhai' in her heart: "That Yu shopkeeper's heart is too dark, he can obviously make a good deal with small profits and quick turnover, but he is not greedy enough, he has to make it so high-end and expensive, he does this, have you ever thought about the feelings of these ordinary old people?" ”

"Hehe......" Seeing the indignant appearance of the two people, Tang Xiu couldn't help but shake his head and chuckled: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with Yu Younian doing this, as a businessman, it is his nature to pursue profits, he wants to make more money in the shortest possible time, and there is nothing wrong with taking the high-end route." What's more, now this kind of denture is now the only one on the market that they can make, and what price to set is not a matter of his upper lip touching his lower lip? ”

Monopoly means endless wealth, and a million profits are not just words.

But speaking of which, Yu Younian is really a talent, he dared to sell a pair of dentures for a high price of 10,000 yuan, even if it was cast from pure gold, it was not worth 10,000 yuan, right? According to the algorithm of later generations, the current 10,000 yuan is equivalent to the purchasing power of 10 million or more yuan in later generations, and Yu Younian is simply looking for death by himself by doing this, isn't he afraid that the Tang Dynasty's 'Industrial and Commercial Bureau' will check him?

Tang Xiu didn't know which department was in charge of prices in the Tang Dynasty, but he was sure that no matter which dynasty it was in, such an industrial and commercial department would definitely exist.

One or two hundred guan things, the cost price is not even fifty guan, and a little less than even ten guan can't be used, he dares to sell three thousand or even ten thousand guan, this sixty times to two hundred times or even a thousand times the huge profit, there will definitely be a lot of families red, maybe even the emperor will know that his heart will be hot and want to intervene, Yu Younian is such a visitor from Taiyuan, what to fight with these bigwigs?

"That's what I said, but I can't let him do this nonsense, right?" Wan'er was very unconvinced, and her little face was a little red with excitement.

Tang Xiu took a sip of gruel, smoothed down the bun in his mouth, and then picked up the silk scarf in front of Pei Cai'er's table and wiped the porridge stains on the corner of his mouth, and said to Wan'er in a light voice: "Don't worry, Yu Younian is now difficult to protect himself, the more money he makes now, the faster he will die in the future, when the price of his dentures was set at such a high level, he was already doomed to death." Chang'an's 'Pure Porcelain Zhai', the scenery will not be long away. ”;
