"Brother Yi, Brother Yi, I've got an advertisement for you. It's selling chives. Six ships, two thousand shi, from Dengzhou."
On the first day of July, Li Chengqi found Li Yi.
This time, Li Yi didn't need to check the map. He knew where Dengzhou was. It belonged to Henan Province.
In fact, it was Shandong. In the Tang dynasty, Shandong was under the jurisdiction of Henan Province.
Tianjin was part of Hebei Province. If you continue to head north and east, it was called Hebei Province.
Li Yi knew that chives didn't refer to the flowers of chives, but the sauce made from the flowers of chives with salt.
People who weren't familiar with it wouldn't understand it. It was just like when he talked about douban.
He used to think that it was referring to the Northeastern douban sauce. Later, he realized that it was referring to the broad bean sauce of Sichuan.
The Northeastern douban sauce should be called fermented douban sauce. It was the douban sauce with soybeans in it.
He traveled extensively and found that the names of things in many places were too magical.
The only place he wasn't satisfied with was Guandong Province. This province had places like Lushun.
In the North, it was called dry tofu. It was made by spreading a thin layer of tofu pudding like tofu and pressing it.
In the South, it was called Qianzhang. Both were the same thing.
In the past, Guandong Province was also called dry tofu. Later, the Japanese Empire came and insisted that dry tofu was called tofu skin.
Hence, in Guandong Province, dry tofu was called tofu skin.
However, tofu skin was something that was similar to tofu. So, what was this thing called?
The Japanese Empire called it high protein. Hence, in Guandong Province, it was called as well.
Li Yi accepted that the soup ingredients of wonton were different. It could be called wonton, wonton, wonton, or wonton.
However, he couldn't accept that the Japanese Empire came and called it whatever the locals called it.
It was the same for chives. The Japanese Empire and the Southern Dynasties called it soy sauce.
If it were him at that time, he would probably also shout that there were people laughing here and there.
Now, it was the Tang dynasty.
Even if the people of the Tang dynasty were beggars, they still had their own pride in the Japanese Empire and Xinluo.
I call it whatever I want it to be called. It's not up to you people to change the name.
Li Yi had feelings in his heart. He also knew about these things, but he did not understand where Dengzhou had gotten so many leek flowers.
"Big Brother, are they all planting chives? This thing can't fill my stomach. "Li Yi knew that there was also a drought there and there were many locusts.
Speaking of drought and locusts, his first impression was Shandong.
In addition, rice was expensive while steamed buns were cheap.
Li Yi had been there before. Rice sold for one yuan elsewhere was sold for three yuan here.
Other places sold steamed buns for one yuan, but here, they sold three steamed buns for one yuan. They were big steamed buns, and one would be full after eating one.
The wheat in Shandong was good, the rice in the northeast, and the wheat flour in Shandong was famous all over the country.
People from Dengzhou selling chives? Don't you have any seafood?
It's not easy for me to eat seafood in Chang 'an.
How could Li Chengqi know that Li Yi was thinking about so many things in such a short time?
"Isn't this a drought and locusts? The weather is hot, so who would want to eat leeks? As a result, the chives began to bloom.
They plucked the flowers and pickled them with salt. 12,000 dans was too much.
When they arrived at Chang 'an, an acquaintance came to me. What can I do? I'm just here to ask you to help me advertise in the newspapers. "
Li Chengqi told him the reason. Dengzhou was also a drought and there were many locusts.
Everyone was busy with other things, but when they turned around, they found that the chives had bloomed.
The chives couldn't be eaten after the stalk, so they could only pluck the flowers. The chives were all very tall and not tender at all.
They were next to the sea and boiled the sea for salt. There was a lot of salt, so they simply made a big bucket out of old bamboo and put the chives and salt in it to pickle.
More than 10,000 dans of chives were sent to Chang 'an, hoping that Chang' an would buy them.
The leader was smart and wanted to advertise in the newspaper.
Li Yi thought for a while. He could actually eat all of it.
Apart from people with allergies and pregnant women, the chives could be dipped in many other ingredients.
"Big Brother, you said it's cheaper. Is it just 800 yuan? Ask them to provide the words. It's my first time advertising. I'll mark it in red. "
Li Yi agreed and gave the words for free.
"Yes." Li Chengqi took out a piece of paper and read it.
"Dengzhou chives have been praised since ancient times. Please have a taste. It's salty and spicy. "
"You dare to advertise when the rhyme isn't even right?" Li Yi frowned when he heard it.
"Ancient rhyme." Li Chengqi said.
"Big Brother, you're mocking the ancients. If it's right, it's the current rhyme. If you don't have the ability, you're pushing it to the ancients. "Li Yi shook his head and smiled.
"Write one for me." Li Chengqi smiled.
"Love and home, Dengzhou chives. Word for word, no discount. "
Li Yi gave the advertising slogan and made it clear.
I can write the lyrics and save you money, but there's no discount.
Li Chengqi: "…"
Four words plus five words. It wasn't a parallel essay, and it wasn't even a poem.
But why does it sound so smooth? It's not abrupt at all.
"Brother Yi, let me ask you something. What don't you know?" Li Chengqi was depressed.
He could guarantee that he didn't reveal anything when he came over.
However, after one sentence, Brother Yi didn't add more words to make money. Instead, he reduced the words.
"Just nine words is enough?" Li Chengqi asked.
"In theory, yes. In fact, you have to say where the boat is parked. Otherwise, you're advertising to build a brand?
That can be cheaper. You don't have to pay for every word. If you advertise for a month, I'll charge a total of ninety words.
Big Brother, go and tell them which type they want. Ninety words for a month in Chang 'an. You'll have the same words every day.
If you want to write it down and sell it at a dock, you can continue to charge them per word. I'll give it to you as a gift.
Also, for future advertising slogans, if you want me to personally write it, it'll be ten words per word. Not one less. "
Li Yi explained the situation. He didn't want to write advertising slogans because as long as he took out the slogans, it would be his classic.
Oh, the one about not accepting gifts during the New Year. That didn't work in the Tang dynasty.
If an advertisement in the Tang dynasty couldn't even match the rhyme, it would be useless.
If you dare to write it in the newspaper, the literati will scold you to death. Then, the officials will investigate you.
The one that didn't accept gifts was actually giving gifts.
Li Yi had seen it before. It was oatmeal and a broken bowl.
It was far worse than the diamond advertisement. The company that advertised not accepting gifts during the New Year actually didn't make much money. It was all advertising fees.
Li Chengqi hadn't been shocked by the alarm clock advertisement before. He asked, "Anything is fine?"
"Sure. For example, steamed buns last forever." Li Yi didn't have any diamonds to sell, so he took out the steamed buns.
After Li Yi said one, he suddenly had an idea. "Also, I'm willing to give up ten thousand bolts of cloth for some leftovers. Hahahaha ~ ~ ~ "
Li Chengqi: "…"
He scratched his head. "Brother Yi, what you said should be used for better things, right?"
"This thing is just a scam. It's worthless. For example, two special kinds of water were born at the Baishui River. One of them is foot washing water. Hahahaha … "
Li Yi laughed again. He couldn't help it.
Li Chengqi: "…"
"Brother Yi, the businessman over there wants to sell chives at the Baishui Dock. Tell me more." Li Chengqi returned to the topic.
Li Yi became serious. "The spicy and priceless chives are the only beauty on the Baishui Dock. The price has increased. Five cents a word. "
This time, he wasn't joking. He was serious.
