County Magistrate He's analysis was reasonable, and things were slowly developing in the direction he expected.
Craftsman Pavilion, Jian Bao Pavilion, and Qing Ya Zhai also had ample stock of bicycles today. It took them an entire morning before they ran out of stock. An interesting phenomenon was that in the entire morning, the number of people who bought bicycles with Tang Yuan was ten times more than the number of people who bought bicycles with copper coins!
In other words, Tang Yuan's settlement speed was ten times faster than copper coins!
At the beginning of the morning, those customers who were hesitant and didn't exchange their coins for Tang Yuan's bicycles were envious and regretful when they saw the "Tang Yuan's Procession" moving forward. If they hadn't hesitated, wouldn't they have been able to buy a bicycle?
Therefore, after leaving the shops such as Skillful Craftsman Pavilion, Jian Bao Pavilion, and Qing Ya Zhai, many people went to the bank to exchange all their money for the bicycles for Tang Yuan. Since they had to buy bicycles sooner or later, it would take a lot of effort for them to carry the carts of copper coins back, so it was more convenient to exchange them for Tang Yuan!
"Manager, give me a pot of Wenrou, a serving of Meatballs, and a serving of Dongpo Pork!"
At noon, those who came from other counties to Lantian County to buy bicycles went to Drunken Immortal Restaurant for lunch. Logically speaking, those who could afford bicycles were all rich people. Of course, they would choose a good place like Drunken Immortal Restaurant for lunch!
"Okay! Please wait a moment, the dishes will be served immediately! "
The innkeeper responded and instructed the waiter to inform the chef to prepare the dishes.
After a while, the dishes were served.
"Mm! It's the same taste! Could it be that the chefs of Drunken Immortal Restaurant in Chang 'an are all here too? "
The customers who came from Chang 'an could not help but praise after tasting the dishes of Drunken Immortal Restaurant in Lantian County.
"Heh! You must be joking, sir! This is a business, and so is Chang 'an. If all the chefs are here, the customers in Chang' an will definitely be unhappy! The chefs of our Lantian County branch are all trained. I guarantee that the dishes they make will taste the same as the dishes of Drunken Immortal Restaurant in Chang 'an! "
The waiter smiled warmly.
"Haha! Marquis is so thoughtful! "
The diner laughed and then began to eat heartily.
A quarter of an hour later, all the plates were cleared. The diner wiped his mouth with satisfaction and said, "Waiter, the bill!"
"Alright! Dear guest! A total of four strings of cash! If you have Tang Yuan, you can pay with Tang Yuan! "
"Yo! I almost forgot that your shop can use Tang Yuan! Wait a moment! I'll look for it for you! "
The diner was a little surprised. He took out four One Tang Yuan notes from his sleeve and said, "Haha! Here you go! Not to mention, with Tang Yuan around, it's much more convenient to eat! "
How could this be inconvenient? In the past, when he went to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant to eat, he had to carry a dozen or so pounds of copper coins. But now, a few Tang Yuan was enough!
The waiter took the Tang Yuan and said with a smile, "Sir, the Tang Yuan is not only convenient for eating, it's also convenient for you to buy other things! Today, our Lantian County's newly opened stores are selling food, drinks, clothes, and other necessities. You can use Tang Yuan to buy them all! And according to this trend, I reckon that in a while, all the stores in our Lantian County will be able to use Tang Yuan to buy things! "
The waiter was advertising Tang Yuan for free. The diner said with a yearning look, "Heh! When that time comes, it will be too convenient! It's a pity that my home is not in Lantian County! I wonder if Chang 'an City will be the same as here, using Tang Yuan all the time! "
This diner was not an exception. Those who had experienced the convenience of Tang Yuan were basically "fans" of Tang Yuan. If they were to use copper coins again, they would feel uncomfortable. For example …
A certain restaurant in Lantian County.
"What? You can't use Tang Yuan here? This Tang Yuan was made by the Marquis of Yong 'an. You guys are doing business in Lantian County, and you don't even trust the Marquis of Yong' an? "
A diner finished his meal and took out two Tang Yuan when he paid the bill. In the end, the diner's manager did not recognize this thing. The diner was instantly enraged. It was impossible for him not to be enraged. The copper coins he brought in the morning were all changed to Tang Yuan! Although a meal in this restaurant was not expensive, it still cost a few hundred copper coins. Where was he going to find a few hundred copper coins now?
"Customer, please calm down. It's not that this old man does not trust the Marquis of Yong 'an, but this old man has never heard of any Tang Yuan or Tang Jiao, much less seen one!"
The manager frowned and said gloomily.
If it weren't for the fact that this diner was dressed luxuriously and had expensive accessories on him, he would have already arrested this person as a freeloader and brought him to the authorities!
"Heh! If you haven't heard of it, go out and ask around. If you haven't seen it, then it's even easier. You can just go to the Yanhuang Bank in Dao Yi Lane and take a good look!
Really, do you think I will lie to you? The Drunken Immortal Restaurant next door can use Tang Yuan to pay the bill today. Why can't you guys do the same? If not for the Drunken Immortal Restaurant being full today, I wouldn't even be willing to eat here! "
The diner got angrier as he spoke. After all, he was from a well-to-do family. Now that he had been tricked into "not having money" to pay the bill, it would be strange if he was not angry!
"This brother is right! If other places can use Tang Yuan, why can't you guys do the same? Isn't your restaurant too backward? "
In his eyes, a place that could not use Tang Yuan was a place that was backward!
"Yes! Even Tang Yuan can't be used! Then we won't come here to eat in the future! "
As soon as this was said, many diners from other places immediately responded.
The manager of the restaurant was sweating profusely. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please calm down. Calm down! This old man will send someone to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant next door to ask! Wait a moment, wait a moment! "
… … …
Those who liked Tang Yuan were not only the people who bought things. Many of the people who sold things also liked him.
Qing Ya Zhai.
"Master, in just one morning, we have sold all of the hundred over bicycles! The speed is more than twice as fast as before! "
Madam Li said with a face full of joy.
Lin Wenyuan stroked his beard and said excitedly, "Hehe! This is all thanks to Tang Yuan! Madam, you also saw it this morning. Using Tang Yuan to buy things, the speed is at least several times faster than before! "
Madam Jin nodded and said, "Yes, yes! Marquis's things are really useful most of the time! This Tang Yuan, if all the customers in Chang 'an can use it, that would be great! "
Lin Wenyuan looked in the direction of Chang 'an and said thoughtfully, "Whether Tang Yuan can gain everyone's approval or not, it still depends on His Majesty's attitude!"
Obviously, he, who had been doing business all his life, also saw the biggest hurdle that Tang Yuan was currently facing!
