Li Zexuan definitely wouldn't be in the bean sprout business for the rest of his life. What he wanted to do in the Tang Dynasty was to become a 'technological powerhouse', not to develop the country through commerce. The so-called commerce was just a tool in his hands!
As an engineering nerd, what he valued was technology, not small profits!
Thus, he definitely wouldn't continue relying on bean sprouts to get rich for long. He was just eating the 'fish head market'! As for the 'fish body' and 'fish tail', he intended to let others eat them!
As for who he would give them to, that would depend on the situation later on!
The popularity of the bean sprouts had only just begun!
On the second day, the thousand jin of bean sprouts prepared by the Drunken Immortal Inn were sold out in a single day! Because those who had eaten the bean sprouts and came from well-off families all became repeat customers of the Connected Brothers. As for those who hadn't eaten the bean sprouts, after hearing the praises of the Connected Brothers for the entire day, they naturally came over to try it.
Thus, the number of customers who came to buy the bean sprouts on the second day was much more than the first!
It was worth mentioning that the head eunuch in charge of purchasing in the palace had specially come to the Drunken Immortal Inn to purchase a batch of bean sprouts. The bean sprouts he purchased were naturally raw. After all, it was food that Li Er ate, so how could he hand it over to someone outside the palace to cook?
The street in front of the Drunken Immortal Inn was bustling with activity. Many people were buying and eating on the spot. Those who had carriages sat in them, while those who didn't had carriages found a place to eat on the street. Upon seeing this, the shopkeepers of the restaurants and shops beside the Drunken Immortal Inn decided to clean up their shops. They placed some empty tables and chairs inside and outside the shop to provide a place for those who were eating bean sprouts on the street.
Of course, there was a charge for this. Outside the shop, it was cheaper at five copper coins per seat. Inside the shop, it was more expensive at twenty copper coins per seat. They even provided free tea. If those customers took a fancy to the items in the shop and bought them, they would earn even more!
Because the Drunken Immortal Inn knew the secret to growing bean sprouts, they ate the meat at the front. Even though the surrounding shops didn't know the secret, they still had to follow behind to drink some soup, right?
On the second day, the thousand jin of bean sprouts of the Drunken Immortal Inn were all sold out. Even if the surrounding shops followed behind to 'drink soup', they still earned a fortune! Every shop earned at least five strings of coins more than usual!
The third day. The Drunken Immortal Restaurant once again exerted its strength and prepared a thousand and a hundred pounds of bean sprouts, but it was still unable to hold off the crazy diners. As the only restaurant that could provide fresh vegetables in the winter, it was difficult for the Drunken Immortal Restaurant not to become popular. Through this matter, it had once again established its position as the overlord of the restaurants in Chang 'an City!
As for Yanhuang College, the supply of bean sprouts had been increased to 300 catties! However, the students still finished the three hundred pounds of bean sprouts. After all, there was no lack of "rich second generations" in the academy. It was common to see one person eating several portions of bean sprouts. For example, Li Tai and Cheng Chumo!
On the fourth day, the Drunken Immortal Restaurant prepared more than 1500 catties of bean sprouts, and they barely managed to last until the restaurant closed at 5 pm. Although this had not reached the daily consumption limit of bean sprouts for the people of Chang 'an, it had already reached the physical limit of the chef of Drunken Immortal Restaurant! They were really too tired these few days! After Manager Liu promised to double the salary for this month, the chefs felt a little better.
The Drunken Immortal Restaurant continued to become popular because of the bean sprouts, which naturally attracted the envy of others. After all, the daily consumption of over a thousand catties of bean sprouts was close to 200 strings of coins. Although the cost of bean sprouts was unknown, it should not be too high. This was truly a profitable business!
"How is it? Is it still not working? "
In Yunlai Restaurant, a middle-aged man with a full beard had his hands behind his back and an ugly expression on his face as he asked the servant in front of him.
Looking at his face carefully, it was the barbarian merchant who had asked Manager Liu how to distribute bean sprouts — Wuzhu Liulin!
"Master, it's still not working! Beans are basically rotten after being soaked in water for a day and night. They can't be eaten at all, let alone sprouts! "
The servant said with a bitter expression.
Hearing this, this barbarian merchant already knew that the Drunken Immortal Restaurant's Brotherly Connection was soaked in beans!
In fact, this barbarian merchant was not the only one who knew that the Brotherly Connection was soaked in beans. Basically, anyone with half a brain would be able to figure it out. There were even more people who secretly distributed bean sprouts!
This was also one of the reasons why Li Zexuan did not expect the bean sprouts to make a lot of money. Because this kind of low-tech thing could be easily understood by others. It was just a matter of time! Take the Nibbled Chicken for example. Two months after it was released, there were already imitations on the market!
If he did not want others to imitate it, he could only raise the technology of the product. This was why he had always paid attention to technology. The workers in the workshop were currently receiving the best treatment in the entire Great Tang!
"Bastard! This old man has spent so much money to raise you, but you can't even do such a simple thing! You're all a bunch of trash! "
The middle-aged barbarian merchant roared. With a 'pa', he smashed the vase on the table beside him. At this moment, a beautiful barbarian woman with a seductive figure and revealing clothes walked over. That barbarian woman walked over and grabbed the barbarian merchant's hand. Then, she placed it on one of her peaks for warmth and said coquettishly, "Master ~! Don't be angry! It's not like there's no other way! "
After saying this, the barbarian woman turned to the manservant and said, "You can leave for now!"
"Yes! Madam! "
The manservant hurriedly withdrew as if he had been pardoned.
The barbarian merchant's interest had already been piqued. At this moment, seeing that there were only the two of them in the room, he hurriedly asked, "Madam, just what kind of brilliant plan do you have? Hurry up and tell this old man! "
The barbarian woman smiled sweetly, her smile bewitching as she said, "Master! If we can't make it ourselves, we can steal it! "
"Steal? How do we steal it? "
No matter how bewitching the barbarian woman's smile was, the barbarian merchant remained unmoved. This was because at this moment, he only had eyes for small amounts of money.
The barbarian woman coquettishly said, "Master! You've been intelligent all your life, so how can you be so foolish now? The Drunken Immortal Inn's Heart Linked Brothers sells an astonishing amount every day. There must be a lot of people involved in the production! Snow Cherry has already asked around for Master. These Heart Linked Brothers are soaked in soybeans by the servants of the Eternal Peace Marquis' estate. As long as we can get in touch with the servants of their estate and entice them with benefits, we won't have to worry about not knowing how to soak soybeans, right? "
The barbarian merchant's eyes darted around, and then he was overjoyed. "Haha! Wonderful! Wonderful! My Snow Cherry is really exceptionally intelligent! Madam, you've done a great service this time. Once it's done, this old man will definitely dote on you! "
Even though there were risks in stealing secrets, especially when they were stealing secrets from Li Zexuan's estate, many merchants were willing to take risks in the face of enormous benefits!
"Master, you're so hateful!"
