Chapter 5 Selling

It was a Saturday, and it was also the summer vacation, and there was obviously a lot more people on the street than usual.

With the development and development of Ningshi in recent years, it has gradually become a modern metropolis, attracting more and more tourists, but at the same time, those farmers' markets have been replaced by large supermarkets.

The location Chen Yuan chose to sell was in front of the only large supermarket in the neighborhood.

Next to the supermarket, there is also a small shopping mall, which coincides with the weekend, and the flow of people is not low, and there are also many hawkers who come to sell all kinds of things like Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan was already fully prepared, he held up a large card, which read: Thousand years of cold ice, warm in winter and cool in summer, limited price sales, if you want to buy as soon as possible, and the price is marked below - one hundred yuan a piece.

The mobile phone was already fully charged, and the volume was turned on at maximum volume, and he was going to play the recorded advertising words, but seeing that the surrounding vendors were quietly setting up stalls, Chen Yuan naturally did not dare to arouse public anger.

The plan was thorough, but in practice, Chen Yuan realized that setting up a stall was not an easy task, especially when it came to selling something that people didn't know.

As the sun rises higher and higher, more and more people come to the supermarket, the flow of people is bustling, the big signboard in front of Chen Yuan is more conspicuous, seeing the words "thousand years of ice", many people are paused for a moment, looking more interested, but after seeing the price below, they all shook their heads and turned to leave.

A five-centimeter-long ice cube was actually priced at a hundred yuan, and it was robbed.

"Little brother, what kind of ice cube are you, it's so expensive?"

There are also a few people who saw that the ice cube was in good condition and came to ask for the price.

"This is a thousand-year-old ice, dug out from the depths of the Kunlun Mountains, this is the only one, and I can't buy it anywhere else." Chen Yuan replied.

"Braggadocio you, if it was really shipped from Kunlun Mountain, how much freight and freezing fees would it cost? You're going to lose a hundred dollars. ”

Seeing someone asking for the price, a lot of people were joined in the back, and when they heard Chen Yuan's explanation, some people couldn't help but laugh.

"If you don't believe it, come and touch this ice cube, it's not comparable to ordinary ice cubes." Chen Yuan said to the man indifferently.

The man walked in with a disdainful face, touched it twice with his hand, and said with a little surprise: "It's true that the touch is a little different from ordinary ice cubes, but what do you want to say about the transportation from the Kunlun Mountains, it's too fake, and it's a thousand years of ice?" If you are young, don't engage in these gimmicks. ”

"You're saying I'm making fake ads and deceiving everyone?" Chen Yuan looked at the middle-aged man with glasses and narrowed his eyes.

"Isn't it?" The middle-aged man put on his glasses with his right hand, turned to the onlookers: "Let me explain first, I am a chemistry teacher at the No. 2 Middle School in Ningshi City, don't be blinded by the words 'thousand-year-old ice', it is also ice, whether it is a hundred years or a thousand years, the material structure of ice is the same, that is, the solid form of water, there is only zero degrees in the atmospheric environment, and it is impossible to achieve anything warm in winter and cool in summer." ”

"And ice is very easy to melt, if it is transported from the Kunlun Mountains to Ning City, it is a big expense just to save and freight, and it will cost a lot to sell it for a hundred yuan, so this must be made somewhere nearby, and then take it out to cheat money."

Many people already knew these common senses, and as soon as the middle-aged man said this, the crowd of onlookers couldn't help but stir, and many people pointed at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan still looked at the middle-aged man with a smile and said, "Are you so sure? So how long do you say it would take for a piece of such ice to melt, at today's temperatures? ”

"The temperature in the air is about 356 degrees now, and such ice cubes are only about 0.1 square meters in size, and they can completely melt in less than an hour. The middle-aged man touched the white ice cube and said confidently.

Chen Yuan shook his head and said: "You are talking about ordinary ice, I am a thousand-year-old ice in the depths of the Kunlun Mountains, even if it is a month, it will not melt a bit, so you don't need any cryopreservation fees." ”

"Won't melt in a month?"

"It's not like that, if you want to advertise, it's not like that."

Before the middle-aged man could speak, the onlookers had already expressed their dissatisfaction, and the middle-aged man seemed to see Chen Yuan's purpose, and then also spoke up: "If it is placed in a sub-zero temperature, of course, it will not melt for a few months." ”

"It's not in a sub-zero environment, it's on top of this." Chen Yuan took out an iron plate that had been prepared a long time ago, and put the iron plate aside, under the scorching sun, it had already been hot and hot, "The reason why my thousand-year-old ice is sold at this price is not expensive at all, even if it is placed on this iron plate, it will not melt a trace after an hour, yes, it will not melt at all." ”

Looking at Chen Yuan's confident appearance, the middle-aged man stretched out his hand and touched the iron plate, and was immediately scalded and quickly stretched back, he shook his head, seeing that he was so popular and the other party still refused to give up the plan to deceive everyone, he was also a little angry: "Hmph, don't say that this small piece of Xiaoice, even if it is one square meter in size, put it on it, it will all melt into water within an hour, you are so young, don't you even know these common sense?" ”

Chen Yuan still shook his head, pointed to a piece of white ice in his hand and said: "I don't believe we can make a bet, if this ice cube can melt on the iron plate, even if it melts a little, I will bow to you in public and admit my mistake, apologize to everyone, if it can't be melted, you can buy five pieces at a broken cost." ”

Listening to Chen Yuan's words, the middle-aged man became more and more angry, and it was not a lot of money to buy five yuan, he said fiercely: "It's okay to bet, it's set within an hour, you said it yourself, if this ice cube only melts a little within an hour, even if you lose, everyone will watch it and prove it, don't run away if you lose when you lose." ”

"Don't worry, so many of us are watching, we won't let him run."

"On such a hot day, the ice won't melt? Whoever believes it will add me to the bet, and if I lose, I will buy five dollars. ”

Hearing that there was a bet, the crowd of people was surging, and they ran over, and even many vendors next to them temporarily put down their business and squeezed in to see the excitement.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, this boss will remember to pay for it later." Chen Yuan glanced at the boss who spoke with a smile, and then made a gesture of please, asking the middle-aged man to personally put the white ice cube on the already hot iron plate.

The middle-aged man was also not at ease, afraid that Chen Yuan would secretly do something, so he was not polite, so he personally selected a white ice cube and placed it in the middle of the iron plate without sloppiness, waiting for it to melt.

Almost at the same time, the onlookers focused their eyes on this small white ice cube.

"Don't worry, everyone, it's an hour, let's go inside and rest first."

Among the people present, only Chen Yuan was not in a hurry, and asked everyone not to crowd under the sun, but first go to the shelter in front of the supermarket to avoid the scorching sun.

Of course, there are many people who did not leave, still staring at the ice cube tightly, and the eyes of the middle-aged man who bet on it did not blink, it stands to reason that in such a hot weather, the temperature of this iron plate must be more than sixty degrees, and the eggs can be baked instantly, not to mention a small ice cube.
