Suiyang is like a weathervane. As long as something appears in Suiyang city, it will soon spread throughout the world.
Therefore, when the shadow puppet show appeared in Jinyang City, Liu Deng realized that he had underestimated his Uncle Wang.
If I don't get involved, the throne may really change hands soon.
"Your Majesty, we have sold the price very cheaply, why is there still no one to buy it until now?"
Many people have never even heard of the food that costs ten cents and one stone, let alone seeing it.
So even though the government was boasting about it, the people in Jinyang City didn't buy it.
This made Chen Qi very distressed and a little bit dumbfounded.
When he started planning a few days ago, he couldn't wait to see people all over the city rushing to grab it.
After all, this is a great thing that benefits the country and the people, and it can almost go down in history.
What he didn't expect was that the scene of empty streets that he imagined would turn into a silent scene.
It has been on display in various major grain stores for four or five days, but until now, no one has spent any money to try it.
"Why are you in a hurry? The promotion of new grains is a gradual process. We have accelerated the speed so much all of a sudden. It is normal for people to have doubts!"
Liu Deng is very open-minded about this kind of thing. After all, good things are good wherever they go.
For ordinary people, especially in this year, sweet potatoes, which are high-quality and cheap, are really the best choice.
"I'm not in a hurry, it's just that this thing has been sitting there with no one paying attention to it for a long time..."
In fact, sweet potatoes are not afraid of being stored. What they are afraid of is just having their skin broken. Once the skin is broken, the storage time will be greatly shortened.
Although there is not much distance from Hutuo River Valley to Jinyang City.
But loading and unloading the truck along the way is really a hassle!
There are so many processes that have gone through, and the quantity is so large, there is really nothing we can do about some damage.
If you keep putting it down like this, I'm afraid it will start to rot on a large scale before it is sold.
If Chen Qi really let so much food rot in his hands, Chen Qi would feel a burst of pain just thinking about it.
"This kind of thing is actually easy to solve. Go to the gates of the four cities and find someone to set up a big pot and cook it for me for five hundred pounds every day. All passers-by can taste it at will!"
Liu Deng said casually to Chen Qi while flipping through the documents in his hand.
"Why didn't I think of that?"
Chen Qi suddenly had an idea. It was such a simple method. Why didn't he think of it?
Isn't it because the people in Jinyang City are afraid of this thing because they have never tried it before?
As long as they taste it, won't the sales naturally increase?
"Once you understand it, go and do it quickly. The sooner the food problem is solved, the sooner I can let go of my worries!"
"promise!"
Chen Qi felt confident, and after responding, he immediately turned around and went out.
Looking at Chen Qifeng's back, Liu Deng smiled and shook his head.
Chen Qi may not be a qualified candidate for state minister, but as an internal historian, he is absolutely impeccable.
Chen Qi moved very quickly. In less than an hour, four sheds had been erected at the four city gates.
There are more than a dozen cooks busy inside, making all kinds of sweet potato recipes.
"Father-in-law, father-in-law! Liu Deng has made new moves!"
It's just that Chen Qi moves quickly, and there are people who move as fast as him.
Ever since they were slapped in the face at the banquet that day, the young eunuchs under Wang Fuqing had become more energetic and wanted to compete with Liu Deng.
Ten cents per stone of grain, this thing has become a joke from the beginning.
Such a large formation was set up, and almost all the shops that could have a relationship with Liu Deng were put on the shop floor.
This thing lasted for several days, and no one paid any attention to it.
"Is there any new trend? They sell the things that pigs don't eat to people as food? It's ten cents per stone. It's really cheap, but isn't ten cents money?"
Wang Fuqing, a skinny figure, wore a Sichuan brocade robe on his slightly rickety body, and was playing with a palm-sized jade pendant in his hand.
After hearing the news, he said with disdain.
"My godfather is right, you will know it just by looking at the long queue at the door of our shop!"
A young eunuch said with a flattering smile.
"Okay, stop flattering here and do more things than anything else!"
Although he knew that these people were trying to flatter him, Wang Fuqing still felt very happy.
I have been serving others in the palace for half my life. Now that I am getting old, I can finally enjoy it.
Thinking about the tens of thousands of stones of food that he had stored in his warehouse recently, Wang Fuqing really felt high-spirited at this time.
Unfortunately, this high-spirited feeling did not last long.
"My godfather is not good, my godfather!"
In less than half an hour, the little eunuch who had been flattering him just now stumbled in from outside.
"See what you look like? Do you still have any royal decency?"
Seeing his anxious look, Wang Fuqing glared at him angrily.
This doesn't look like the godson he brought out. If this was reported back to Chang'an City, it wouldn't be embarrassing enough.
"My godfather is not good, there is already a long queue at the door of the SF Express store across from us, and the people of Jinyang City have started to rush to buy the pig food like crazy!"
"What did you say? There will be people buying those things?"
"It doesn't matter, so what if I just buy some? After all, people still have to eat food!"
Wang Fuqing suddenly stood up from his chair, but after the shock, he quickly calmed down again.
It should be out of petty greed for gain, yes it must be like this!
After they try it, they will still turn around and sell food!
"Daddy, these are the boiled sweet potatoes distributed at the gate of the city. My son just took a bite. This, the taste of this thing..."
But the little eunuch's words immediately shattered Wang Fuqing's luck again.
"Taste? What does it taste like?"
Wang Fuqing's eyes suddenly widened like bells.
"Daddy, you'd better try it yourself..."
The little eunuch had a bitter look on his face, and then took out an oil paper bag from his sleeve.
After Wang Fuqing took it, he gritted his teeth and broke off a small piece, carefully stuffing it into his mouth.
When the sweet taste lingered on his taste buds, Wang Fuqing's body couldn't help but start to tremble...
This damn thing is actually sweet!
