How much does a cup of plum soup with ice sell for?

Or two taels of silver.

Because in the hot summer, it's not the soup that is expensive, but the ice.

"This is the business you're going to work with me?"

"Yes, the chilled black plum soup is my business with the Flower Restaurant."

Huangfu Jie shook his head and refused: "Not interested." ”

Su Shi was a little strange: "Why? ”

Huangfu Jie said lightly: "I know that the prince is a nobleman, and there must be a treasury of ice at home, but how many cups of black plum soup can be made from the hidden ice?" ”

He thought for a moment and said, "It won't be more than three thousand cups." This is just a drop in the bucket for the Flower Pavilion, and we can't afford to offend the Dongyuan Quarantinery for a few thousand taels of silver. ”

Su Shi smiled: "It's really not worth it for 3,000 cups, what about 30,000 cups, or even 300,000 cups?" ”

Huangfu Jie's breathing seemed to have stopped, because Su Shi's words had deeply shocked him.

"Impossible." Huangfu Jie immediately regained consciousness: "Even if you add up all the ice in the ice warehouse in the capital, it is impossible to make so much iced black plum soup. ”

"I can."

Huangfu Jie looked at the young man in front of him in a daze, he was very reluctant to believe this young man's words, but looking at Su Shi's indifferent eyes, he couldn't speak.

After a long time, Huangfu Jie said slowly: "As long as you can supply 30,000 cups, I can consider cooperating with Shen Gongzi." ”

"How to cooperate?"

"One hundred wen a cup."

Ordinary black plum soup costs two wen a cup, and for iced black plum soup, it is one hundred wen as soon as the emperor opens his mouth, which is a full increase of fifty times.

For the vast majority of people, this price is already high.

Huangfu Jie continued: "Shen Gongzi should know that the price I offer is not low, if you only sell it, you will not be able to sell it at such a high price. ”

His words are not wrong, if Chen Xiaolan's father and daughter are allowed to sell along the street, let alone a hundred wen, even if it is fifty wen, there are few buyers.

For the same cup of chilled black plum soup, the price at the Flower House and the price at the roadside stall are absolutely far apart.

"And since you will ask me to cooperate, it is because Shen Gongzi knows that no merchant dares to cooperate with Shen Gongzi except for the Flower Pavilion."

There is no threat in this sentence, because he is telling the truth.

However, Su Shi sighed, looking disappointed.

Because he always thought that Huangfu Festival was the kind of person who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, he never underestimated him, but now it seems that Huangfu Festival is indeed a very ordinary person.

So Su Shi felt very strange, how could such an ordinary person become the head of the Flower Pavilion?

"How did Shen Gongzi think about it?"

Seeing that Su Shi didn't answer for a long time, Huangfu Jie couldn't help but ask.

Su Shi didn't answer him, but asked, "How long has the Imperial Fu been in charge of the Flower Pavilion?" ”

Huangfu Jie was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Su Shi meant at all, but he still thought about it and said, "Ten years." ”

"Ten years?" Su Shi couldn't help frowning, because as far as he knew, these ten years were the ten years with the fastest development momentum of the Flower Pavilion.

It is also the development of this decade that the Flower Pavilion has entered the top three Qinglou in Beijing in one fell swoop.

And the main event of the Flower Pavilion in the past ten years is the Huangfu Festival.

At this time, Su Shi's gaze swept behind Huangfu Jie, and then his heart moved, and he looked thoughtfully at the screen behind Huangfu Jie.

Six beautiful screens hide the back half of the hall perfectly.

When Huangfu Jie found Su Shi looking at the six screens in a daze, a trace of panic flashed on his face.

"Shen Gongzi, you don't seem to have answered me yet." Huangfu Jie said coldly.

Su Shi didn't pay attention to him at all, but said lightly: "How do you think this kind of business should be cooperated?" ”

This sentence Su Shi did not say to Huangfu Day, but to the screen.

If other people saw Su Shi's behavior, they must have thought he was crazy, but Huangfu Jie's face suddenly became ugly.

He was about to shout a shout when a voice as sweet as a yellow warbler sounded behind the screen.

"How do you know there's someone behind the screen?"

Su Shi smiled and said, "I didn't know there was someone behind the screen at all." ”

The warbler-like voice fell silent, and after a while it sounded again: "Then how did you deduce that there was someone behind the screen?" ”

Su Shi smiled: "Because I know one thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

Su Shi said lightly: "If the head of the Huangfu is really the head of the Yinghua Building, then the Yinghua Building is afraid that it will be closed long ago." ”

Su Shi said this very politely, Huangfu Jie sat there, his fists clenched, his face was bruised, and his eyes stabbed at him like a sharp sword.

But since the person behind the screen had spoken, he also knew that there was no longer a qualification for him to speak here.

The voice was silent for a while, and after a long time, he slowly asked, "Where did the ice come from?" ”

Su Shi smiled, because the person behind the screen asked at the key place with a word, the focus of this cooperation was not iced black plum soup at all, but ice.

During the long, hot summer days, ice is the most precious resource.

Ice can be used to cool down, store food, and make drinks......

If Huangfu Festival can't even see this key, he is not a qualified principal at all.

Su Shi shook his head and said, "I'm not used to talking to people about business through the screen. ”

The voice said: "Please forgive Shen Gongzi for this, for some reasons, I can't talk to Shen Gongzi face-to-face, but please rest assured, I can make decisions on behalf of the Flower Pavilion." ”

Su Shi thought about it, and no longer forced it, although he was very interested in the people behind the screen, but the most important thing for him at present was to talk about business.

So Su Shi smiled: "Since you have something unspeakable, I don't force it." ”

The voice said, "Thank you Shen Gongzi for your understanding." Now I ask Shen Gongzi to solve my doubts. ”

Su Shi said slowly: "I know how to make ice." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.

Rain, snow and frost are either immortal spells or the way of nature, and Su Shi actually said that he has the art of ice making.

Huangfu Jie definitely didn't believe such a ridiculous thing, and he also believed that the people behind the screen would never believe Su Shi's words.

So he was waiting for the person on the screen to give orders, and he really wanted to cut out Su Shi's tongue, because then he would not be able to talk nonsense anymore.

I don't know how long it took for the voice to sound again.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"I know."

The voice said lightly: "I don't even know who you are, how can I trust you?" ”

Su Shi couldn't help but sigh and said, "If you really don't know who I am, I'll be very disappointed in the Flower Pavilion." ”

With the strength of the Flower Pavilion, it is not a difficult thing to check a person's origin, not to mention that Lin De and Zhao Rong are definitely not people with a very tight mouth.
