Chapter 29: A good start

Chen Mo did what he said, and handed over everything in the charcoal store to Mrs. Wang to take care of, and today's opening will naturally not steal the limelight.

Even though Mrs. Wang repeatedly gave in, Chen Mo still refused to show up, and not only this time, but also when he got involved in other industries in the future, he would keep a low profile.

The guys in Yaxing are happy these days, and every time they have a meal, they will take the money given by Mrs. Wang and go to major restaurants to order hot pot to eat.

In just a few days, it really brought this wind up.

The people of the city not only knew about shabu-shabu, but also knew that it would go best with peach charcoal, so they searched everywhere for an authentic meal.

This search turned out the matter of Chen Mo selling high-priced charcoal that day.

For a time, Luoyang paper was expensive.

Unlike the people who want to feast on their mouths, in the eyes of the shopkeepers of major restaurants, this is a great business opportunity, and when they are looking for no results, they have gone to the tooth store to inquire.

According to Chen Mo's instructions, Mrs. Wang sold a pass to the restaurant shopkeepers, as long as she opened today, she would definitely be able to get what she wanted.

It is precisely because of this that the current Tanxing Gate will be full of people and lively.

Looking at the crowd in front of him, and then at Chen Mo, who was sitting in the corner talking to Huameishu, Mrs. Wang was once again glad that she had made the right choice.

Not to mention the relationship with the new magistrate, Chen Mo's brain alone can't be exchanged for a thousand dollars.

"Lady Wang, the time has come." The guy stepped forward to remind.

Mrs. Wang nodded and stood in front of the door of the charcoal shop with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my Wang's Charcoal Store opened today, and please patronize more in the future."

"The old woman understands in her heart that everyone is here for peach charcoal, so let me show my sincerity and make a fortune together after unveiling the red plaque."

Wow......

As Mrs. Wang removed the red cloth, a warm celebration sounded at the scene.

The pitch-black and shiny plaque symbolizes the charcoal itself, and the golden "Wang's Charcoal Line" means the light of the rising sun.

These are all from Chen Mo's hands.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene had risen, Wang Po commanded the guy.

With the sound of a crisp gong, the two carriages rushed to the front of the charcoal shop.

Even if it is covered with an oilcloth, you can still smell a little smoky fire.

"Mrs. Wang, charcoal is not a precious thing, can you use it to be so grand?" A restaurant shopkeeper joked.

"Hey, I really let you Li Da Shopkeeper say it, compared to his place, the charcoal of our Wang's charcoal store is completely worthy of the word Jingui." Mrs. Wang responded with a smile.

"Mrs. Wang, don't sell it at this time, open it quickly." The other urged.

"Guanzi still has to be sold, and it has to be sold big."

Mrs. Wang's words fell, and several jobs were busy.

A table was moved out, and Wen Ding was placed on it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there has been a wind of shabu-shabu in the city recently, and I believe many of you here have already tasted it. The old woman now wants to ask, how does it taste? ”

"Okay."

Everyone spoke in unison.

"Then let me ask again, after a hot pot, what does it feel bad or lacking?"

“……”

This time, everyone fell silent.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is something that needs to be improved, and I can't say it for a while.

"It's charcoal." Mrs. Wang raised her hand and pointed at the charcoal plate, "What is contained here is ordinary charcoal on the market, you may wish to go back, are there two flaws?" ”

"I see, it's too much smoke."

"That's right, and then you can't stop burning, and if you eat it for a long time, you have to add charcoal."

"Exactly." Mrs. Wang nodded, and looked at the shopkeepers of the restaurant again, "After talking about the diners, now it's your turn." The problem faced by the restaurant is that if there is too much charcoal in the furnace, then it will cause waste, and if it is less, it will not be able to renew the supply in time, right? ”

"Yes, if the charcoal is not lit in advance, it will not only be time-consuming and laborious to light it, but also easy to smoke people, what is the best way to solve it?"

"Absolutely." Wang Po smiled and nodded.

"Say it quickly."

The shopkeepers showed anxious expressions of asking for advice.

Seeing that the time had come, the princess instructed her men again to bring a tray covered with a red cloth.

"Everyone, palm your eyes."

Brush......

As Wang Po lifted the red cloth, several fist-sized pieces of hollow carbon appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Wow......

After a brief silence, a roaring exclamation erupted.

"Is this charcoal?" Some people are suspicious.

"It's charcoal, but it's not ordinary charcoal." Someone is sure.

"It's boxy, it's smooth and shiny, how did you make it?" Someone is curious.

"The most bizarre thing is hollow, if nothing else, that's the key." Someone hit the nail on the head.

"Little Dongzi, light up the charcoal." Wang Po instructed Xu Lidong, "This time, it's not about palming your eyes, but about letting the shopkeepers open their eyes." ”

Xu Lidong took out four charcoal blocks, smeared one side with grease, and put three finished glyphs at the bottom, and one at the top to ensure air circulation.

As soon as the fire folded, it burned directly.

Then the charcoal cubes were rotated in order, and after a while, all the fire marks were visible.

Hiss......

Seeing this scene, not only the shopkeepers, but even the onlookers also inhaled the cold air.

Without him, shocked.

Charcoal is easy to light and has very little smoke.

The most important thing is that the smell of smoke is not so rushed.

"Lady Wang, what kind of wood is this made of?" Someone asked anxiously.

"Peachwood." Mrs. Wang raised her hand triumphantly and pointed to the southwest of the county, "All the timber comes from Baijiazhuang thirty miles away, where the peach forest is like the sea." ”

"Good, good." Shopkeeper Li said excitedly, "In recent days, there have been rumors in the city that peach charcoal is the best match for hot pot, and now it seems to be true." No, no, no, it should be said that it is the best match with the peach charcoal of Baijiazhuang. It's not right, to be more precise, it's the most right with the hollow peach charcoal of Baijiazhuang. ”

"That's right, Wang Po just said that there is a peach forest like a sea, and there is no need to worry about the supply of goods in the future."

"Lady Wang, in this case, is the price of this charcoal also negotiable?"

In the end, it was all about business.

Wang Po was waiting for this sentence, building momentum a few days in advance, and now she is performing on the spot again, and everything she does is for a purpose.

Make hay!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang glanced at Chen Mo again.

Today's good start is all planned by the other party.

The price, naturally, has to be determined by Chen Mo.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has seen the quality of charcoal, the so-called penny price is worth the goods, and vice versa, so the whole vehicle of charcoal costs ten taels of silver."

Ten taels?

There was an uproar at the scene again, is this selling charcoal or rice?

The shopkeepers, who were originally in high spirits, also stopped moving.

"Well, I'll just say the price is set too high." In the corner, Hua Meishu shook his head, "No matter how big and gorgeous the scene is, it can't change the essence of the charcoal can't be on the table." ”

"You're wrong."

Chen Mo also shook his head, but with a smile.

"Miss Hua is waiting to see, not only will those shopkeepers not be too expensive, but they will also fight desperately later."
