Chapter 13 Peers are enemies
Lu Tianyang went to find Uncle Ling again, and Uncle Ling was carefully and carefully wiping a small Buddha statue on the Buddha table in his inverted room, but he didn't even notice that Lu Tianyang pushed the door in. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I only heard him whisper while wiping: "Please Buddha, your old man must bless his wife, young master and young lady, they have had a hard time in the past two years, let the old man bear any suffering, the old man will give your old man incense and kowtow every day." Then he took six shoddy sticks of incense from under the incense table, lit them and inserted them on the incense burner, and then respectfully bowed three heads.
Lu Tianyang saw his pious appearance, he felt both funny and moved, he knew that Uncle Ling had been a wandering beggar since he was a child, and later was saved by Old Man Lu from the hands of bullies, and since then he has been staying in the Lu family as a servant, the Lu family has declined, and the disciples and servants are almost all gone, leaving only this lame old servant who never abandons.
Looking at his gray hair and the extremely simple bed in the room, Lu Tianyang had mixed feelings, and couldn't bear to interrupt him to worship the Buddha, so he quietly retreated, and after a long while, he knocked on the door again.
When Uncle Ling saw that it was Lu Tianyang, he was surprised and delighted, and Zhang Luo wanted to make him tea. Lu Tianyang held him down and asked, "Uncle Ling, do you have an axe and a firewood knife at home?"
"Yes, usually the old slave chops wood and chops trees. ”
"I'm looking for some wood, can you take me to chop some back?"
Uncle Ling hurriedly said: "Just go to the old slave for this kind of rough work, what kind of wood do you need, young master, just tell the old slave as much as possible." ”
Lu Tianyang thought about it, he also had to hurry up to the town to buy something, so he ordered it again, and soon Uncle Ling went out with an axe and a firewood knife, Lu Tianyang called Shang Muyue, and the two of them went down the mountain together to buy some cheap woodworking tools in the fairy town.
One hour, Lu Tianyang came back alone with a small bag. The fifty-three copper coins were all spent cleanly, and in exchange for a small hammer, a small saw, a bag of sandpaper, as well as iron nails, various colors of dye powder, brushes, small gongs, etc., it was definitely worth the money, and of course, he also spent a lot of money bargaining.
When he returned to the Chivalry Valley to find Uncle Ling, he was probably still busy working in the woods, Lu Tianyang was worried that he was old and his legs and feet were not dexterous, so he hurriedly put down his bag and ran to the woods to find him. Sure enough, Uncle Ling was still cutting branches and leaves, he said that he would not let the young master do this rough work, and the two "fought back and forth", until the evening, the two of them came back with large and small woods, and they didn't even care about dinner, so they began to tinker with carpentry.
Xihan worked hard for an afternoon and finally improved the recipe of the herbal tea she was satisfied with, she wiped the sweat beads from her forehead, came out of the kitchen, and saw that there was a wooden car in the middle of the living room, the workmanship was quite exquisite and peculiar, like a large wooden box with wheels. The most bizarre is the wheels, usually the car is composed of four round wheels, but this car has a total of twelve wheels, every three small wheels is a group, the finished glyph. She didn't know that this was a design that could use three wheels to go up and down the stone steps, but she thought it was very novel.
I saw Lu Tianyang tracing various patterns of alien styles on it. These patterns and patterns were also painted by him with a variety of simple original dye strokes, which are quite beautiful, and there are a few big characters in the middle - "Persian best herbal tea".
Xi Han's eyes were immediately attracted, and he couldn't help but run over curiously and asked, "Hey, what are you doing?"
Uncle Ling was grinding the sawn bamboo tube with sandpaper on the side, and exclaimed: "Miss, the young master is preparing to sell the cart of 'herbal tea'! Oh, the old slave has never seen such a beautiful and strange cart in his life, not only is it eye-catching, I heard that it can also be easily pushed up and down the stone steps, and it is also a loss that the young master can build it." There is also the use of bamboo tubes as teapots, and small bamboo branches as suction ...... Suck...... Oh yes, it's the 'straws', and the 'discount card' that you can redeem when you recycle the bamboo tubes, which are unheard of. ”
Lu Tianyang smiled slightly, with his previous education in the Earth Business School, it was not difficult to make an eye-catching car, which was made by imitating the American hot dog car he had seen in his previous life.
After the last stroke, he clapped his palms and stood up, smiled and asked, "Sister, if you see such a car on the road, will you be curious to come over and have a look?"
Xihan saw that he was triumphant, and his little nose snorted lightly without answering, but his confidence in this herbal tea business increased a lot.
After a humble dinner, Lu Tianyang tasted the herbal tea made by Xi Han again, but saw Xi Han staring at him nervously, his little face was not confident, and mixed with a little expectation, so he sighed deliberately.
Xihan immediately asked nervously: "What's wrong? It's not delicious? I tried it before, it should be okay, in order to cover up the bitter taste of prunella grass and improve the effectiveness of the prescription, I also specially added a few flavors of Fuling, lotus seeds and dandelion...... Of course, in order to make the medicine mild and can be drunk by the elderly, children and pregnant women, I don't add much of the medicine......"
Lu Tianyang laughed: "It's so delicious! It's much better than what I've drunk before! Sister, you're so good! Okay, we'll make herbal tea according to this recipe tomorrow, and we'll start selling it at noon." ”
Xihan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and couldn't help glaring at Lu Tianyang angrily. But I heard Lu Tianyang say again: "By the way, sister, we will only sell a hundred copies tomorrow, you don't have to prepare too much." ”
"Only a hundred copies, why?" Xihan asked in surprise.
"On the one hand, we have limited resources such as bamboo tubes and medicinal herbs, and on the other hand, it is also for hunger marketing. ”
"Hunger marketing?" Xihan widened his eyes curiously.
Lu Tianyang smiled and said: "There is a saying that scarcity is expensive, and the scarcity of resources will cause everyone to rush to buy, which is called hunger marketing." ”
Xi Han thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense, and couldn't help but secretly admire, she peeked at Lu Tianyang, and thought: "After he woke up, not only did his personality change a lot, but also came up with so many strange thoughts in his head, maybe it can really work!"
The next day was close to noon, everything was ready, the three masters and servants of the Lu family set out together, and found that the herbal tea cart really pushed down the long stone steps very easily, Xihan and Uncle Ling were both surprised, and their eyes at Lu Tianyang were also a little more respectful.
The three of them pushed the cart to an intersection half a mile at the foot of Huashan Mountain, but saw two vendors carrying tea and selling it to passers-by at the intersection, and it seemed that business was not good. As Xihan said before, the thirsty ones had already bought tea and drank it before going down the mountain, who would buy it here?
The two tea vendors were stunned when they saw Lu Tianyang and the others, and a vigilant look immediately appeared on their faces.
As the saying goes, peers are enemies, and the two tea vendors have a bad business, but when they saw Lu Tianyang and the other three pushing a cart, it seemed that they were also going to sell tea, didn't they want to grab business with themselves?
The two vendors glanced at each other at the same time, and one of them sighed and said, "Lao Zhang, I stood for a morning today before I sold a cup of tea, alas, it doesn't seem to be a good location here." ”
Another peddler known as Lao Zhang immediately said in a weird way: "Don't mention it, Lao Wang, I also sold two copies, hoping to make money by selling tea here, it's just a fool's dream." Forget it, we don't just rely on this to make a living, I'm afraid that some people with their whole families go out and expect to sell tea here to support their families, that's stupid. ”
Xihan and Uncle Ling immediately became nervous when they heard this, and their eyes looked at Lu Tianyang together. This business can be regarded as taking all the money that can be used by the family, and if you lose money, you really can't even open the pot.
Lu Tianyang glanced at the shade of the tree where the two vendors were standing, and said with a smile: "Two big brothers, if you don't want to sell tea, just give up your position, I think your current position is quite good." ”
The peddler surnamed Zhang's face turned dark, and he was about to scold, but the peddler surnamed Wang pulled him and sneered: "Let's let it, let's see how many teas they can sell." ”
The two vendors each took the tea, and moved forward a few feet, their new position was extremely insidious, just in front of the car of Lu Tianyang and others, and close to the side of the road, if there were passers-by who wanted to buy tea, they would basically be stopped by them, who would go far and walk ten more steps to the shade of the tree to buy?
