Shopkeeper Yun Da didn't hesitate and asked someone to bring out the freshly prepared ice cubes.
This group of businessmen were immediately shocked. It was already midsummer, and there was still such intact ice in Wu State. How did they do it?
"How many ice cubes are there? I want them all!"
"Hey...how could you do this? Everyone who sees it has a share!"
"That's right, how can I be bought by you alone?"
The major businessmen fought fiercely.
Shopkeeper Yun Da looked at this group of people with disdain, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.
If I hadn't cooperated with His Highness King You back then, I'd be afraid that I would be as ignorant as these people, right?
Only by following King You can you enjoy spicy food.
"Ahem..." Shopkeeper Yun Da coughed, and everyone immediately fell silent.
He gently stroked his beard and said, "Don't make any noise. I have plenty of ice cubes here!"
As soon as these words came out, all the shopkeepers' eyes lit up.
"You can actually...make it on the spot?"
"Is this... is this true?"
"Can we have as many as we need?"
"Of course!" Shopkeeper Yun Da smiled.
This group of businessmen didn't waste any time and immediately placed orders and signed contracts.
By the time Shopkeeper Yun Da finished signing the contract, it was already dawn.
All the merchants who signed the orders smiled with satisfaction. They must have made a lot of money this time back.
"Huh? What is this?"
"Popsicle!"
"What is a popsicle?"
"Food!" Shopkeeper Yun Da didn't take it to heart and said casually: "One penny a piece, I'll treat you all."
There were only twenty or thirty people, so they only spent twenty or thirty cents. He didn't take it seriously at all.
"hiss……"
"It's so sweet. Is this...sugar added?"
"right!"
"Is it really only a penny a piece?"
"Yes!"
"Give me twenty!"
"..." Shopkeeper Yun Da was dumbfounded.
"Hey, this feels so good to eat... Hahaha... Shopkeeper Yun Da, can I take this out and sell it?"
"ah?"
"I want this too. I have many children at home, so they should like to eat..."
"Forehead……"
"I want it too, I want it too, eat this to relieve the heat..."
Shopkeeper Yun Da looked confused. After a while, he only had three or four hundred pieces in stock here.
Countless old customers poured into Yunji Shop, and they saw the erected sign at a glance.
"Is this a new product?"
"What are popsicles?"
"Hey, it only costs a penny each. Is it so cheap? Waiter, come and try one!"
"What? Is there anything so cheap in Yunji Store? I'll have one too!"
"Hmm... so sweet... so cold... so refreshing!"
"Really?"
"Hey, it says here that as long as I get three people to buy it, I can get one for free."
"Let's see...huh, it's true. I'll go get a few people to try..."
"Wait, what are we here for? To buy ice cubes!"
"Don't worry, try this popsicle first. It's really sweet. I only spent a penny to taste the taste of sugar. Is this a good profit?"
…
"The shopkeeper's shopkeeper's, it's not good!"
"How can you behave in such a panic?" Shopkeeper Yunda was holding millet porridge, glared at the waiter and said, "What's the matter?"
"Ice, the popsicles are sold out..."
"If it's sold out, it's sold out...what a fuss!"
"But...but there are already more than a thousand people placing orders..."
"puff……"
"How many?"
"Three thousand..."
"puff……"
Shopkeeper Yun Da is no longer calm. How long has it been?
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, it's bad... our store is blocked!"
"Is this unreasonable? Who dares to make a mistake?"
"Ah... no, they are all here to buy popsicles!"
Shopkeeper Yun Da: “???”
He thought he was confused: "You said...were all here to buy popsicles?"
"Yes, yes... the people outside have blocked the whole street now..."
Shopkeeper Yun Da put down his bowls and chopsticks and rushed out.
Is this stuff so delicious?
Can this thing explode?
This is impossible!
really?
When Shopkeeper Yun Da rushed to the store, he couldn't get out because... the store was blocked.
This is even scarier than when sugar came out.
The crowds of people were so dense that the store was almost overcrowded.
Shopkeeper Yun Da's scalp was numb. Although he still didn't know what was going on, he knew that he had to get the goods from Eunuch Chang Lin.
"Hurry... open the back door quickly, I want to see my father-in-law..."
"What are you eating?"
"Possicles!"
"Is it tasty?"
"Hahaha... I won't tell you!"
…
"Mom, mom, I want to eat popsicles!"
"The popsicles are not delicious..."
"I want it, I want it..."
"You are only allowed to eat one..."
"But mother, why can you eat three?"
"Because mother... is an adult!"
"No, no, I'm an adult too..."
…
"Hurry, come, come with me to the store, if you gather three people together, I will get a free popsicle!"
"real or fake?"
"of course!"
"Then wouldn't these people have suffered a loss?"
"Hehe... You must be at a loss. You don't know how expensive ice cubes and sugar are now..."
…
"Have you noticed? Many people are now forming groups to buy popsicles!"
"How to form a team?"
"Look, there are four of us. I will take three of you to buy one. Can I get a free one?"
"Yes!"
"Then when we finish eating, if three of us buy it, can the other person get a free one?"
"Yes!"
"It means that if each of us buys three popsicles, does that mean that everyone has four popsicles? That means we save four cents?"
"Holy shit...really!"
"The more people we attract, the more we can eat for free and make a lot of money..."
…
"Did you hear that? If you keep pulling people in, we can keep eating..."
"It's true! I have many servants and many guards!"
"Let's go... bring them all here."
…
"If I can't afford sugar or ice, can I still afford popsicles?"
"Yes, sugar is so expensive...I can still eat popsicles for free..."
…
The permanent population of Kyoto in the Kingdom of Wu was 800,000, which was only slightly less than the population of the capital of the Zhou Kingdom.
But in just one day, the popsicle has gone viral.
Not only the local people in Wu Kingdom are buying like crazy, but also the merchants from other places and foreign merchants are frantically asking for cooperation.
But... the strange thing is that the shopkeepers have disappeared.
…
Wu Kingdom Palace!
Chang Lin was worried. He had been busy since this morning.
After all, it is a matter related to the destiny of the country and should not be taken lightly.
Wu Guo had this intention in asking him to supervise personally.
If the money is not in place, these civil servants and generals will really kill people.
The little eunuchs and maids were simply too busy.
"Father..." Chang Lin's adopted son Han Rulin ran over quickly.
Chang Lin was already very calm and said: "How?"
"The ice cubes have been sold out..."
"Not surprising." Chang Lin nodded with satisfaction.
With the appeal of major stores and the influence of sugar, no matter how much ice cubes there are, they will be sold out.
Chang Lin was shocked from the beginning to now numb. The ice cube was just as everyone suspected. It exploded without any publicity at all.
The more ice cubes are ordered, the more money flows in.
His Highness King You actually only wanted 40% of the profits this time, and 60% was given to the national treasury, which forced the civil and military officials of the entire court to protect him.
Han Rulin smiled from ear to ear. He had never seen so many orders.
"Father, are you unhappy?"
Han Rulin noticed something was wrong with Chang Lin's expression and asked.
Nowadays, there are so many orders and the money earned is more terrifying than before. Why is there no joy on the adoptive father's face?
