Chapter 53: Drinking Plum Soup

No one believed Su Shi's words, because only one kind of pen writing would have this effect.

That is the Son of Heaven's imperial pen.

If the Son of Heaven writes on the signboard, don't say 200 cups of black plum soup, even 2,000 cups will be sold out quickly.

However, Su Shi was neither the Son of Heaven nor the Son of Heaven's imperial pen, so the words he wrote were of no use at all.

So Bai Jiangchuan kept looking at him with a sneer.

Chen Xiaolan silently took out a pen, dipped it in ink and handed it to Su Shi.

Su Shi walked to the signboard, looked at the graceful handwriting on the signboard, and couldn't help asking, "What did you write?" ”

Chen Xiaolan nodded, Su Shi handed her the pen again, and sighed: "It's better for you to write." ”

Chen Xiaolan didn't shirk, took down the signboard, and then looked at Su Shi.

Su Shi walked up to her and whispered a few words to her.

Chen Xiaolan thought for a while, and then wrote three lines of words on the signboard.

Two of the lines are a couplet.

White-headed eagle eyes, drink black plum soup.

Then Chen Xiaolan added a sentence after each cup of two articles on the signboard - half price for the second cup.

After writing it, Chen Xiaolan hung up the signboard again.

When Bai Jiangchuan saw Chen Xiaolan write a couplet, he couldn't help but be taken aback. Because if Su Shi wrote a wonderful poem, most of the literati on this mirror lake would naturally come here, but I am afraid that these two hundred cups of black plum soup can really be sold out in an hour.

However, this couplet is mediocre, and it can only be slightly eye-catching at most, and as for the words half price of the second cup, Bai Jiangchuan didn't take it to heart.

Because of this calculation, two glasses are only seven or five percent off, and it is difficult to attract people to buy them with this discount alone.

So Bai Jiangchuan also put his mind at ease and looked at Su Shi coldly.

Su Shi looked at the signboard, smiled with satisfaction, and said to Chen Xiaolan: "Your handwriting is indeed better than mine." ”

He stretched again and continued, "You'll be busy next, but go back to rest early when you're done." ”

Then he looked back at Lin Mo: "I'll go shopping, you stay and help Miss Xiaolan." ”

Lin Mo looked at the deserted stall hesitantly, and he really couldn't think of anything he could help with.

At this time, some people in the crowd had already seen the poems on the signboard, although the poems were mediocre, but they also felt a little surprised, and they didn't expect that there were also people who knew poetry among the vendors, and they surrounded them one after another.

When I got closer, I saw that the second cup was half price written on the back of each cup, and I felt even more novel.

At this time, one of the people in the crowd asked, "What does the second cup mean at half price?" ”

Chen Xiaolan didn't expect that this signboard would have an immediate effect as soon as it was hung up, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "If the son only buys one cup, it will cost two cents for a cup, and if the son buys two cups, then the second cup only costs one penny." ”

At this time, the man looked at his friend next to him and couldn't help but smile: "This time I let you take advantage." Then he took out three pennies and said to Chen Xiaolan: "I happen to be a little thirsty, and I asked the girl to send two cups of black plum soup." ”

Chen Xiaolan was overjoyed and immediately said, "Please wait, I will send it immediately." ”

When the two of them took a sip, they nodded, and couldn't help but praise: "The taste is sweet and sour, it's really good." ”

Since some people had already tried it, others couldn't help but be eager to try it, and then another person in the crowd said, "Lady, are you a little tired, do you want to have a drink?" ”

His lady looked at the words half-price for the second cup and said with a smile: "It's also interesting, go buy two cups." ”

At this time, a young man walked up to another person and saluted the person: "In Xia Cui Ming, Brother Tai is alone?" ”

The other person was still watching the excitement, but when he saw Cui Ming saluting, he hurriedly replied: "In Xia Liu Heng, I have seen Brother Cui." ”

After speaking, Liu Heng smiled and said, "Brother Cui is also a person?" Why don't we be together? ”

Cui Ming couldn't help but laugh and said, "I have this intention." ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

The crowd of onlookers also shouted, if the people who traveled with them were even, it would be easy to do it, and if the people with them were singular, they would look for people everywhere, so that many people who didn't know each other became friends.

At this time, there were several long lines in front of the stall, which attracted other people's side glances, and more curious people kept inquiring.

Chen Xiaolan's anxious expression has disappeared, but she can't care about being happy, because as Su Shi said, she is very busy.

And Lin Mo looked at the long queue blankly, completely unable to figure out why his young master only wrote a few words, and this deserted stall became so lively.

Chen Xiaolan was too busy to be alone, so he had to ask Lin Mo for help.

So Lin Mo also started to get busy.

Bai Jiangchuan couldn't figure it out, but although he couldn't figure it out, he knew that he had lost this bet, and he lost badly.

So his face became ugly, his fair face seemed to have been distorted, and his vicious gaze was fixed on Su Shi.

Su Shi touched his nose, looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help muttering, "It seems that I was wrong." ”

He did miscalculate, because he didn't expect this method of sales to be so popular.

He originally thought it would take an hour, but judging from the current situation, it would not take half an hour to sell out.

Although he miscalculated, he was in a good mood, especially seeing Bai Jiangchuan's ugly face, his mood was better than drinking a cup of cold black plum soup in the hot summer.

In order to make his mood a little happier, he walked in front of Bai Jiangchuan and said with a smile: "Young Master Bai, Du Huyuan, the weather is hot, do you need two cups of black plum soup to reduce the fire?" ”

Bai Jiangchuan was silent for a while, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Master Su, good means." ”

Although this sentence is a compliment, when it comes out of Shirae River's mouth, it seems to be interesting.

"But ......" Bai Jiangchuan said lightly: "This is just a small trick of carving insects, although Su Gongzi won this small gamble, I am afraid that he will not expect to use this trick to win the big gamble between us." ”

Although he lost the gamble this time, Bai Jiangchuan was still very confident of winning the big gamble between them.

At this time, he also saw that this sales strategy was very novel and attractive, but after careful calculation, the profit was reduced by half, and if Su Shi wanted to win the big gamble with this method, it would undoubtedly be a fantasy.

Su Shi smiled and said: "As for the big gamble between us, it's too early to say who loses and who wins, but can the account of this small gamble be settled." ”

Although the black plum soup has not been sold out yet, as long as he is not blind, he can see that Bai Jiangchuan has lost this small gamble, so Bai Jiangchuan did not hesitate, took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and handed it to Su Shi, and then turned around and left.

Su Shi handed over the one hundred taels of silver ticket to Chen Xiaolan, and then looked at the person who had been standing by the woods silently watching him with interest.
