Chapter 7: The Big Profiteers
Gongye Yunrong is not a saint, he can understand everyone's performance very well.
However, the expressions of everyone at this moment fully reflect the difference between people.
Jiao Siding was panting, his eyes were red, and the seven cubs were directly flowing out of Halazi; Zhang Xiaokai was the youngest after all, his fists were clenched, looking excited and nervous; Hu San, who was often overlooked, squinted his eyes, but there was no expression on his face, and his slightly squinted eyes flashed with obscenity, making it impossible to see through what he was thinking at a glance.
Jiang Fengyu and Yang Yi are much calmer, and they are much more decent at first glance.
Gongye Yunrong looked at everyone's expressions one by one, and had a plan in his heart. Hu Sangongye, who had obscene eyes, took a second look, this person who is often overlooked, is not as mediocre as his performance seems, and he is by no means a simple character.
Hu San seemed to feel Gongye Yunrong's burning gaze, and his face suddenly changed violently, and he immediately showed a more exaggerated lewd color than the seven cubs.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Gongye Yunrong's mouth, he looked away, and shouted: "Don't start work soon!
Everyone was excited, and quickly suppressed their desires and began to roast sweet potatoes and beans.
After a short time, the thick fragrance wafted up, and everyone was already so hungry that their chests were close to their backs, and when they smelled the fragrance, their stomachs suddenly kept growling, and they swallowed their saliva and swallowed it one after another.
At this time, everyone had already understood Gongye Yunrong's so-called method of making money, so they all looked at the rich men who entered and exited Wanhualou.
Sure enough, as Gongye Yunrong expected, those brightly dressed sons and brothers, wealthy businessmen and tycoons stopped to find the source of the fragrance when they smelled the tempting fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes.
Gongye Yunrong was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the seven cubs beside him to know that the currency used here was gold, silver and copper coins, ignoring the inexplicable eyes of the seven cubs, and began to shout: "Walk by, don't miss it! Freshly baked Gongye roasted sweet potatoes and roasted drum beans have a unique taste in the world, and the effect is comparable to ......."
Who knew that he was halfway through his shouting, and suddenly and dramatically turned his head to the seven cubs and asked, "What is the most expensive medicinal herb here?"
The seven cubs were still stunned, and he still couldn't understand why the eldest brother asked "what is the money in this place?"
At this time, even Yang Yi couldn't stand it anymore, so he tore the seven cubs apart, and said hurriedly: "Ginseng!"
It is really hateful to pull the slop belt at a critical time, if Yang Yi wants to take a step slower, the seven cubs will be kicked away by Gongye Yunrong.
I only heard Gongye Yunrong continue to sell it again: "The effect is comparable to a thousand-year-old ginseng, and it is the only one in the world." Come and buy it, the quantity is limited, two thousand wen apiece, Tong Su is not bullied!"
Jiang Fengyu and the others had never seen Gongye Yunrong like this, and they couldn't help but look sideways, but they were even more shocked by the price that Gongye Yunrong was selling. The price of 2,000 Wen is definitely a lot of money, this sweet potato and drum bean actually costs 2,000 Wen apiece, it is really a baby, is there anything more expensive in the world than this?
Of course, everyone wants to buy as expensive as possible, and they are also selling hard with Gongye Yunrong.
Everyone has curiosity, and some people have unsatisfied curiosity and can't even sleep.
The curiosity of the rich is generally heavier, and the curiosity is more easily satisfied, because some novelties need money to unravel its mystery, and the rich certainly have that condition. And the poor only have envy, jealousy and hatred, and at most they guess and conjecture about novelties.
The sons and brothers and the pot-bellied businessmen who came to their stalls in Gongye Yunrong undoubtedly had a strong curiosity, which made the girls who received the guests angry.
Although some people showed disdain, and some people scolded Gongye Yunrong for being black-hearted, they still temporarily put aside the need for women and wanted to meet the expectations in their stomachs first.
Gongye Yunrong didn't shout at this time, and the younger brothers did it for him, with a friendly smile on his face, and he was determined to be like the god of wealth in the temple, not afraid that no one would make offerings.
The rich men who came over first argued with each other, "Are these sweet potatoes and drum beans so valuable?" Is it really the effect of a thousand-year-old ginseng? Then they began to bargain with the seven cubs and others, and the two sides fought for each other, but the seller refused to let go and cut the price.
These sons and uncles all have servants, ranging from one person to six or seven people, one comes to the bodyguard, and the other carries a heavy money box so that they can pay the bill at any time. There are many people with mixed mouths, noisy, and lively, but the old bustard on the opposite side is half angry.
However, no matter how rich the masters of this era are, they have never seen sweet potatoes and beans, the so-called scarcity is expensive, although the thousand-year-old ginseng is rare, but the world is not nothing. This sweet potato drum bean is the first time I have heard of it, treasures are hard to find, don't miss this village, there will be no next store.
A wealthy businessman finally made up his mind, made a big move, and ordered the servant to take out two copper coins and buy a roasted sweet potato from Gongye Yunrong.
One thread is a thousand wen, two threads can weigh more than ten catties, the seven cubs took the money first, and they were so happy that they smiled, and the others were also laughing so much that their faces were almost rotten. This time it's developed, and I don't have to worry about food or clothing anymore.
The merchant ate the roasted sweet potato in his mouth, but he felt that it melted in his mouth, full of fragrant, indescribable deliciousness, and his fat face looked unfinished, and the two threads were worth it!
The gold, Gongye Yunrong didn't want others to keep it for him, so he put it in his arms and smiled from ear to ear.
The other rich men kept watching the merchant eat roasted sweet potatoes to see if the first person to eat crabs would eat a mouth full of blood?
Nowadays, gold and silver are rarely circulated in the market, since the "Seven Kings Rebellion", the world is in turmoil, copper coins have been greatly depreciated, and the actual value of gold, which is hard currency in any dynasty, has been much higher than the original copper coins of the same value.
Seeing that some people rushed to buy roasted sweet potatoes regardless of their blood, others were finally not to be left behind and rushed to buy them one after another. Gongye Yunrong didn't bring many sweet potatoes and beans, and those who shot late could only sigh.
Gongye Yunrong and others received soft hands when they received money, but problems soon appeared.
Some people eat roasted sweet potatoes and eat roasted drum beans, and find that the roasted sweet potatoes are sweet and sweet, and they are much more delicious than roasted drum beans, so they feel that it is a blatant fraud to buy roasted drum beans with the money of roasted sweet potatoes.
Gongye Yunrong smiled, smiling like a profiteer, in fact, he was a profiteer in his previous life. Gongye Yunrong smiled and said, "This benevolent brother has a point. ”
The first person questioned that the person was a son-in-law, looking like a gentleman, and when he heard Gongye Yunrong's words, he was even more imposing: "It's good if you admit it, return the money quickly!" Several other people also chimed in.
Gongye Yunrong's smile was still the same: "Brother Tai misunderstood, I also think that the price of roasted sweet potatoes and roasted drum beans is not right." So, I decided...... The price of roasted drum beans remains the same, it is still 2,000 wen, and the roasted sweet potato is 3,000 wen!"
