Li Chunfeng's face was a little unnatural when he stood up, it can be said how shocked Li Su was by his and Yuan Tiangang's Dao skills, so how shocked Li Su was by this thing he brought, "Master, do you want to take a look at it too?" ”
Yuan Tiangang saw that Li Chunfeng's expression was wrong, he walked over curiously, and also used this telescope to observe the western sky according to the method described by Li Chunfeng, and his expression became more and more exciting.
"Your Highness, how dare the old Dao and the disciples accept such a divine object?" Yuan Tiangang bowed to Li Su and said.
Li Su said: "The two Taoist masters just take it, the divine objects to you are not worth much to this king, and the palace is still a lot." ”
Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang glanced at each other and said, "Then thank you, Your Highness!" ”
Sending away the two Taoists, Li Su asked Jin Daqian to choose a clever one among the family, and he was going to hand over these tricks to him these days.
After agreeing to Yuan Tiangang's master and apprentice, Li Su asked Jin Daqian to send 1,000 taels of gold to the two of them the next day, and asked them to build a Taoist temple in Qingcheng Mountain, 60 kilometers away from Yizhou.
And here in Yizhou City, the exhibition organized by Shangguan Yi and others was ready to start immediately, and Li Su gave the order to harvest potatoes.
In Yangshu Village, Wei Tieniu organized the whole village to start harvesting potatoes after receiving Li Su's order, I have to say. He was really under a lot of pressure at this time, after all, the whole village had bet on this potato. If you can't make money, then all the villagers in Yangshu Village will have to go hungry this year.
"Tie Niu, why don't you go to Yizhou City to visit His Highness, and see what His Highness says, how to sell potatoes for twenty stones of this acre of land, if you can't sell it, the whole village will have to eat this, but this thing is delicious. But you can't eat it as a meal. A young man said that he was Wei Tieniu's friend from childhood to adulthood.
Wei Tieniu understood that his worries were justified, but his trust in Li Su had reached the level of blindness, and said: "What are you worried about, potatoes can't be sold, I will give you all the wages for repairing the underground pipeline." Wei Tieniu pulled out a potato plant. Picked all the potatoes.
"Shiro, don't worry, His Highness has planted a lot of it himself, and he won't grow so much if he doesn't make money." Wei Tieniu's mother said as she put the potatoes into the basket.
The young man known as Shiro nodded, "I'm just asking, too." Then I'm gone, my family's fifty acres of land are now being harvested! By the way, Brother Tie Niu, you might as well hire some people from neighboring villages to help you collect them, now many people have heard that they have come here to find work to collect potatoes here. ”
Wei Tieniu thought to himself. If it is up to the mother and son to collect so many potatoes, how long will they be busy, so they said: "Mother." Why don't I hire a few people, and it's only two cents a day. ”
"Okay, you go, this Shangguan Assassin said to let you bring some people to transport potatoes to the fair, this matter can't be delayed."
"Yes, mother, then I'm leaving."
This exhibition was set up in Nanshi by Shangguanyi, and the notice posted on Nanshi said that the market would be closed for one day, just for this fair.
The businessmen who participated in the auction were invited here by Shangguanyi before they left Yizhou, and after receiving the invitation of Shangguanyi, these businessmen had to give Shangguanyi a face, and I heard that this time it was something new, these businessmen were also very curious, and some businessmen who didn't get anything at the auction were even more active, hoping that this time Yizhou would not return empty-handed.
The morning sun is rising, the clouds on the horizon have not yet dispersed, at this time there have been a lot of businessmen gathered in the south market, some are discussing who has obtained the monopoly right at the auction, and some are discussing the things on the exhibition - potatoes.
"This Yizhou new gadgets are really endless, this auction has just ended, and this is another trade fair, which can really be tossed." A merchant said.
"Chengdu Wang encourages business, this is not a little ability, and dare to boast of this Haikou, I have bought a shop in Yizhou City, as long as there is a profitable business in the future, I hope to grab it firsthand."
"You are shrewd enough, the price of shops in Yizhou is the same every day, even if you don't do business in the future, you can make a lot of money by changing hands, and I have to buy one."
“……”
Dou Yun listened to the talk of several businessmen and his heart was mixed, happy that his shop could be sold, worried that other good locations in Yizhou were bought by Li Su, thinking of this, Dou Yun's intestines were remorseful, at first he just bought a piece of land to try, but he didn't expect the shop to sell so hot, he knew that this was the case, he should have bought more plots.
"Shopkeeper Dou!" While Dou Yun was staying, a lean businessman came over to say hello.
Dou Yun replied, there are many strange businessmen who greet him these days, but most of them come for the shops he built, and he is no longer surprised.
The merchants chatted while waiting for the start of the fair, and after a while, some people pushed the cart into the southern market, and the cart was piled with yellow, orange and orange potatoes.
"This is the new food?"
"It's weird, can you eat this?"
"Who knows? Let's take a look and talk about it, if it's not good, don't buy it! ”
"Look over there!" A merchant shouted.
At this time, some people set up pots in Nanshi and began to boil water, Wei Tieniu walked back and forth among these people, directing the people to put the potatoes on the exhibition stand, this exhibition table is actually a wooden table that is continuously spliced together, since it is a trade fair, it has to be a little grade, and it cannot be placed on the ground casually.
More than a dozen cauldrons were set up, baskets of potatoes were poured into the pots and began to steam, and at this time the merchants also gathered more and more, all of them watching the people's every move with curiosity.
Wei Tieniu poured a basket of cleaned potatoes into the pot, looking at the thousands of businessmen, his heart was steady, are there so many businessmen who are still worried about not being able to buy potatoes? He turned his head and walked towards another cauldron, but caught a glimpse of Shangguan Yi and a group of officials walking over with one person in their arms, it was His Royal Highness the King of Chengdu.
Wei Tieniu was overjoyed, trotted over, and saluted Li Su.
Seeing that it was Wei Tieniu, Li Su said: "Tieniu, how is the preparation here?" ”
"It's all done according to Shangguan Thorn Shi's words, and now the potatoes are boiling in the pot." Wei Tieniu said.
Li Su nodded, led a group of officials to the iron pots, and looked at the potatoes that were boiling inside, "Tie Niu, the potatoes in your village are growing well!" ”
"Hehe, for this potato, the people in the village have bothered a lot, managing, weeding, and catching insects, which is why it has grown so big." Wei Tieniu was a little proud.
The businessmen saw that all the officials looked over, and some of the businessmen who recognized Li Su came forward, and Dou Yun was the first to come over and greet him: "Dou Yun has seen His Highness." ”
"Dou Hairuo see His Highness!"
"Excuse me!" Li said sustenably, looked at Dou Hairuo, and said with a smile: "The son of the shopkeeper Dou is really handsome. ”
Dou Yun smiled awkwardly, "Your Highness, this is the little girl Dou Hairuo." ”
Li was stunned for a moment, and saw that she didn't have an Adam's apple, so it became clear, "It turned out to be a little lady." ”
The surrounding businessmen all laughed when they heard this, and Dou Hairuo suddenly blushed.
At this time, another businessman bowed down and said, "Yangzhou businessman Cai Jiexiong has seen His Highness!" ”
"Could it be Cai Jiexiong, who is rich in the world?" Li Su has also heard of this Yangzhou Fu.
Cai Jiexiong said: "Cai Jiexiong doesn't dare to be the four words of the rich world, compared with His Royal Highness, Cai Jiexiong is just a candle flame, how dare this candle flame compete with Haoyue." ”
"Shopkeeper Cai is really modest, and this lip service is also good." , Saying that, Li Su picked up the spoon and scooped up three potatoes from the iron pot, the potatoes started to cook before Li Su came, and now they have been boiling for almost half an hour.
After soaking the three potatoes in cold water on one side, Li Su picked up the potatoes and gave them to Cai Jiexiong, "Shopkeeper Cai must be a bold person to make such a big business, I don't know if I dare to be the first to try potatoes." ”
Cai Jiexiong was flattered, no matter how big his businessman business was, how could he compare with Li Su's identity as a prince, and now Li Su personally served him potatoes, how dare he not take it, so he took the potatoes in Li Su's hands.
The remaining two potatoes, Li Su gave Dou Yun's father and daughter, and the three of them took the potatoes, you look at me, I look at you, and the three of them all took a bite.
"How does it taste?" The expressions on the faces of the three no longer required them to say anything.
Cai Jiexiong ate the potatoes in two bites, and even Dou Hairuo also ate a few bites, "It's really delicious in the world." Cai Jiexiong said.
When some of the other merchants heard this, they all showed eagerness, and Li Yu turned his head to Wei Tieniu and said, "Tie Niu will give the boiled potatoes to the merchants to try." ”
Wei Tieniu said excitedly: "Yes, Your Highness." "I ran over and let the people get the potatoes.
Cai Jiexiong was still unsatisfied, and said, "Your Highness, can you eat another one?" ”
Li Su and all the officials smiled and said, "Of course you can, just let go and eat!" ”。
"Everyone, this fair has officially begun, please let go of it." Shangguan Yi walked to the middle, let go of his voice and shouted.
Hearing this, the merchants all gathered around the iron pot, and this is a good thing to eat for free, no one is a fool, and it is right to have lunch.
And Cai Jiexiong, who had tasted potatoes, asked: "Your Highness doesn't know how to sell this potato, does it also want to auction the monopoly right?" ”
"There is no monopoly on this potato, and any merchant can buy it." Li Su replied.
As soon as Li Su's words came out, those small traders were in high spirits, and a small trader said: "Your Highness, how do you sell these potatoes?" ”
"One bucket and ten texts." Li Su replied.
"Shiwen!"
"It's so delicious, it's only a bucket of ten wen!"
“……”
Li Su's words made the vendors explode immediately, but these words came from Li Su's hands, and the credibility was 100%.
Cai Jiexiong and Dou Yun both looked incredulous, Dou Yun said, "Your Highness, who should I buy from?" ”
Li Su pointed at Wei Tieniu, who was busy, and said, "Just look for him." ”
Hearing this, the merchants ran towards Wei Tieniu.
