Yesterday afternoon, the Drunken Immortal Restaurant received more than six hundred catties of bean sprouts. Shopkeeper Liu thought that it would at least last for three to five days, but the result was out of his expectations. Because the six hundred catties of bean sprouts only lasted for four hours in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant!
Yes, you didn't hear wrong! It only lasted for four hours!!
From the time when the first plate of bean sprouts was served to the time when the bean sprouts were all stir-fried, it really only took a little more than four hours!
All of the chefs in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant's hands were sore from cooking!!
"No, Shopkeeper Liu! It's only three in the afternoon and your Brother's Heart is already sold out? "
Some of the people who heard the news late were told that the bean sprouts were already sold out when they finally got in line. They couldn't help but ask Shopkeeper Liu.
Shopkeeper Liu bitterly smiled and said, "Old Master Zhu, I'm really sorry! There are too many people buying Brother's Heart today! If you come early tomorrow, you will definitely be able to buy it! "
Old Master Zhu sighed and said regretfully, "Ai! I miscalculated, miscalculated! In the morning, I went to the farm outside the city. When I returned, I heard that the Drunken Immortal Restaurant was selling fresh vegetables. I immediately rushed over, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't make it in time! I say, Shopkeeper Liu, you must prepare a lot of things tomorrow! Don't sell it out again! If you really can't, you can sell it at a higher price. That way, it won't be sold out ~! "
When these words came out, many people who didn't lack money but didn't buy Brother's Heart today echoed, "Yes! Shopkeeper Liu! You must prepare more Brother's Heart tomorrow! You can sell it at a higher price! "
"That's right! Six hundred and sixty-six copper coins for a set is really too cheap! In my opinion, these fresh vegetables should at least be sold for a set amount of money! "
When these people said this, those commoners who didn't have rich family backgrounds and just wanted to buy a plate of bean sprouts to taste immediately became anxious. However, in front of these rich people, the poor like them didn't have the right to speak. Thus, they could only look at Shopkeeper Liu anxiously.
Shopkeeper Liu repeatedly waved his hand and said, "Ai! That's not right! That's not right! The price of Brother's Heart is set by my family's Marquis. I don't dare to arbitrarily change it ~! Moreover, my family's Marquis has always been kind-hearted and hopes to do something for the people! Now, even my Marquis feels that the price of 600 copper coins is a little expensive. If not for the cost, the price might have been even lower! How could this old man dare to go against my Marquis's wishes and lower the price without permission? "
Once this was said, the commoners all cheered, "The Marquis of Yong 'an is truly a kind person! First, he made plows for us commoners. Then, he lowered the price of books and set up an academy to take in children from poor families for free. Now, he wants us poor commoners to taste fresh vegetables in the winter! He's really a great benefactor sent to us by the heavens! "
"That's right! My brother-in-law's family is one of Marquis's farmers. According to him, Marquis treats them very well! Not only did we lend them money without interest, but we also waived a lot of rent for them! "
"What do you mean? My neighbor, Liu Laoer's son, got into Yanhuang College this year. Not only did he not need money, he even earned 30 strings of coins from the college! "
"Whoa! There's such a thing? Is that true? "
"Why would I lie to you? I heard that the child got into the top ten in the monthly exam. The 30 strings of coins was a reward from Marquis! "
"This child is really promising!"
"Heh! He should be thanking Marquis for giving those children a chance to learn! "
Shopkeeper Liu was a crafty person. He used this small detail to boost Li Zexuan's reputation in front of the commoners.
The commoners were simple and talkative. They were grateful for Li Zexuan's kindness from the small matter of the price of the bean sprouts. As they chatted, they brought up the recent scholarship incident at the college. Li Zexuan's image in their hearts instantly improved by a few notches!
…
"What? More than 800 catties of bean sprouts were all used up today? "
Evening, Yunshan Residence.
When Li Zexuan heard the news from San Bao, he asked in surprise.
More than 800 catties of bean sprouts! According to the serving size of Zuixian Restaurant's dishes, one catty of bean sprouts could be used for two plates. 800 catties meant 1,600 plates!
1,600 plates of bean sprouts were sold out in one meal?
Even those big restaurants in his previous life didn't have a dish that sold so well, right?
Moreover, the price of these bean sprouts wasn't cheap!
San Bao said excitedly, "Yes! Young Master! Shopkeeper Liu came to our residence to ask for more, so Old Madam gave him 500 catties of the bean sprouts we collected today and sent the remaining 200 catties to the college! Young Master, your decision back then was really wise! San Bao is truly in awe! "
Most of the bean sprouts in the Li Residence were distributed by the servants. Now that the bean sprouts were selling so well, Old Madam Li and Old Madam Li would definitely not mistreat these "meritorious people". Thus, San Bao was very excited and her hands were trembling. She was also Li Zexuan's "bootlicker"!
Li Zexuan slapped the back of San Bao's head and said, "What do you mean by prostrating? It's prostrating, okay? You should read more books when you're free! Do you understand? "
"Yes, yes, yes! Young Master, you're right! I'll definitely read more books when I'm free! "
San Bao nodded hurriedly and giggled.
Li Zexuan put his hands behind his back and said, "Ask the servants to distribute more bean sprouts and use up all the beans in the warehouse as soon as possible!"
"Yes! Young Master! "
San Bao nodded subconsciously, but then felt that there was something wrong with Li Zexuan's words. Puzzled, he asked, "Young Master! You … You mean that you don't want to buy more beans? "
"Yes!"
Li Zexuan was thinking about other things and only replied with a faint "yes".
San Bao found it hard to accept. He asked anxiously, "Young Master! Why don't you buy more beans? Bean sprouts are so profitable. I've already calculated that one catty of beans can produce about ten catties of bean sprouts, which can be sold for more than ten thousand copper coins. But one catty of beans only costs eight copper coins. How can you just give up on such a profitable business? "
Li Zexuan came back to his senses and saw San Bao's pitiful look. He couldn't help but find it funny. He teased, "Ha! Your math skills are not bad! Where did you learn it from? "
San Bao didn't look happy at all. Instead, he lowered his head and replied, "Young Mistress taught me when she was bored!"
Lan 'er?
Li Zexuan was stunned. He shook his head and laughed. Then, he looked at the dejected San Bao and kicked the latter's leg. He said, "That's enough! One must be content with what one has! We can't be in the bean sprouts business forever, right? Look at how useless you are! Go back to Chang 'an now! "
