Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 20 Peer Competition

When Su Chen left the canal dam, his heart was still churning. He never imagined that the old man who was painting was actually Han Xizai, a senior official of the Three Dynasties in the Southern Tang Dynasty. He temporarily stayed away from the temple and rested in the old house in Runzhou.

This Han Xizai was a native of Qingzhou in the north, and he went to Yang Wu because his father was killed by Li Siyuan.In the Southern Tang Dynasty, he served as secretary and assistant prince in the East Palace.Later, when Li Jing ascended the throne, he moved to the office of Foreign Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, a scholar of the History Museum, and a doctor of Taichang.

In fact, Han Xizai's talent is very great. When he defected to Yang Wuguangling, his ambition was higher than the sky. However, after he arrived in Wu State, because of the luxury of life and love for Fengyue, he was disliked by Xu Zhigao, who was in power at the time. This Xu Zhigao was later Nannan Tang Liezu Li Bian.Li Fang lives a simple life, is cautious, and doesn't like to publicize, while Han Xizai is on the contrary.

Han Xizai stayed in the East Palace for seven years, chatting with Prince Li Jing every day, writing essays and poems, and getting along for so long, Li Jing had a deeper understanding of Han Xizai's talent and learning.After Li Jing ascended the throne, he began to reuse Han Xizai. Unfortunately, the internal party struggle in the Southern Tang Dynasty continued, and because of differences in the strategy of resisting Later Zhou, Li Jing did not listen to Han Xizai's advice, thus causing a disaster in Jiangbei.Later, Li Jing was forced to move the capital to Hongzhou, depressed and unhappy, and died of an illness.

Two years ago, after Li Yu ascended the throne, he appointed Han Xizai as the Minister of Officials, and the official residence was ranked third; but last year, due to the change of coins, Han Xizai and the prime minister Yan Xu argued in front of the imperial court. , offended many colleagues and was impeached by the ministers. Because of the pressure of the court, Li Yu temporarily dismissed him from office and was demoted to Runzhou.

Han Xizai has just stayed in Runzhou City for half a year. It is rich in products and prosperous in the market. He usually goes out to play in the mountains and waters, fish and paint, and at home he enjoys singing and dancing, talking about poetry and writing fu, and he lives happily.

It's just the ambition in his heart that he can't display. The heroic feeling of pioneering and expanding the land in those days occasionally surged in his chest, and he had nowhere to vent. He could only rely on the characters in the painting. Worrying about the country and the people also shows the weakness of being "out of touch with reality and ignorant of the reality of the people".

In the final analysis, they are not pragmatists, but they are still in the methodology of using the books of sages to govern the world. They have never really studied the working class, enriching the country and Anbang.

After just chatting with Han Xizai for a while, Su Chen said goodbye. On the way home, he was thinking about whether he should deepen his relationship with Han Xizai.According to historical records, although this Han Xizai had his ups and downs in his career, he was used repeatedly until the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It is likely that in half a year, he will be able to resume his official position and return to Jinling to serve as a senior official.

"No, I have no intention of pursuing an official career in the Southern Tang Dynasty, so it's better to keep some distance and not be recommended by him!" Su Chen had his own thoughts in his heart.

He knew the direction of history. Ten years later, the Southern Tang Dynasty would perish. Su Chen didn't want to take root too deeply in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and in the end, the country would be destroyed along with the Southern Tang Dynasty.

When Su Chen returned home, he took the prepared candied gourd stick and continued to go out to sell. When he was walking on the bustling street, he was a little surprised, because there were hawkers selling candied gourd one after another on the street.

"Bingtanghulu, sweet and crunchy Wangji Tanghulu!"

"Sweet and delicious Zhang Ji candied haws!"

"The secret recipe, Cui Ji candied gourd, it doesn't taste good and doesn't cost money!"

Su Chen stood on a main street in Dashikou, looking at the endless crowd, red candied haws had appeared one after another, Zhang Ji candied haws, Wang Ji candied haws, and Cui Ji candied haws all appeared.

Although he guessed that imitations would appear, he still underestimated the flexible thinking of the people of Southern Tang Runzhou in doing business. It took only three days for imitations to appear.

"Cooking cakes, candied haws—"

There was a short middle-aged man who passed by carrying a candied gourd stick. On the other shoulder, he also carried a pole box that sold pancakes.

Yes, people who sell cooking cakes also sell candied haws by the way.

Su Chen was dumbfounded and asked Qingtian speechlessly.

If the old man who picks up dung on the street knows that selling candied haws can make money, then this project will not have much profit.

Su Chen inquired about it, and the candied haws sold by these people were all three cents a piece. As the holder of the authentic secret recipe, he set the price at four cents for a string, and ten cents for three strings!

"Su Ji Tanghulu--" As soon as Su Chen shouted, there were some other people selling candied fruit, who looked sideways and cast a look of contempt, as if with hatred.

Su Chen felt inexplicable, thinking that I am a genuine product, and you are fake, you dare to despise me?He still shouted Su Ji Tang Hulu.

"Little brother, if you do this to sell Su Ji, you won't be righteous." A middle-aged madman passed by him, also carrying a sugar gourd stick, and reminded Su Chen.

"Why?" Su Chen didn't understand.

"Who doesn't know that the first person to sell candied haws in Runzhou City is Su Ji candied haws. Let's follow the trend and make and sell them, but we can't pretend to be someone else!"

Mad, it turns out that these candied gourd accomplices all thought that Su Chen was deliberately posing as an authentic candied gourd seller at this time, and they were competing unfairly!

Su Chen said angrily, "Look at my face and the 'Su Ji' logo on this pole, I am the first authentic Su Ji to sell candied haws!"

"It's really you..." The rude man also darkened his face, lowered his head, and ran away quickly.

Although there is competition, Su Chen's candied gourd is still more delicious than other candied gourds. It is an authentic brand, so it is easier to sell even four cents of money. Even so, a hundred bunches of candied gourd are sold out until dusk. Light, it took two hours more than yesterday.

Su Chen sighed lightly, and also understood that the craft of making candied haws is relatively simple. Even if other people don't have the authentic taste he made for the time being, it won't take long, and after repeated research, it is likely to be more delicious than what he made, because it should not be too small. Looking at the creativity of the working people at the bottom, these foods were originally invented and created by them.

Su Chen is not a gourmet, he just took the lead. His technique and production level can only be regarded as medium, and he is slightly more talented than mediocre. However, compared with hard-working grassroots people, this simple craft is very Easy to be overtaken.

In addition, there are only so many users who eat candied fruit in Runzhou, and the new things have passed. The children of the lower-level Limin people are very happy to eat a string of ordinary candied fruit for three cents, and there is no need to eat his authentic Su Ji.

On the way back home, Su Chen had already prepared himself mentally. For this candied fruit project, if he had to leave as soon as possible, he should promote the soap and soap projects as soon as possible. That would be the trump card that would be able to accumulate [-] passes within [-] days.

When passing by Fanjialou, Su Chen walked into the lobby on a whim and saw that Zhang Dachuan was speaking on the stage. A bloody troublesome thing to recognize on the spot.

Many listeners in the restaurant were almost full. The guests all chose to sit close to the stage so that they could hear it more clearly. On the contrary, there were a few empty wine tables near the door.

At this time, Zhang Dachuan was speaking the second time, his voice was hoarse and a little rich, when he talked about the death of Queen Dugu, Emperor Wen of Sui began to favor Mrs. Xuanhua and Mrs. Ronghua.That night, Yang Jian dreamed of a flood that almost drowned him. After waking up, he asked the person who interprets the dream.It was said that there was a crisis in the imperial court, and there were those with the word "water near" in their names, which would bring disaster to the country and overthrow the imperial court in the future, so Yang Jian killed Li Hong first and demoted Li Yuan, but Yang Guang and Yu Wenhua refused to let Li Yuan's family go. Decided to ambush and kill on the way!

"The two of them have made a plan to harm Li Yuan. I don't know how their lives will be, and I will listen to the decomposition next time - bang!"

After Zhang Dachuan knocked on the gavel, the audience was silent at first, and then bursts of applause. They all felt that the story was very exciting. Compared with the old short stories of talents and beauties, it was more twists and turns, and it was very coherent!

"Reward!" Many guests grabbed a handful of copper coins and threw them on the stage, and some people gave rewards to copper basins passing by to receive rewards, ranging from a dozen to dozens of coins per table. To the amount of copper coins is not cheap.

Seeing this, Su Chen smiled slightly, thinking that he could use stories like "Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West", "Shooting the Condor" and "Covering the Sky" to make money in the future.
