God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 282 I am an undercover agent for His Majesty

Early the next morning.

Crackling explosions suddenly sounded in various prosperous areas of Chang'an City.

The originally quiet streets of Chang'an City suddenly became lively.

After the burst of firecrackers exploded, people suddenly discovered that strange shops appeared one after another at the intersection of the bustling road.

There is a big signboard hanging at the door: Old Chang'an Popsicle.

The shop is not big, and the counter is placed on the threshold, not to mention the table, there are no chairs for customers to sit in the shop.

At the entrance of the shop, there were two men holding up their horns and yelling: "Popsicles, old Chang'an popsicles, delicious and inexpensive, affordable, clearing away heat and summer heat, a must-have in summer!"

People gathered around one after another, becoming curious about the popsicle.

As more and more people watched, a middle-aged man took out a popsicle for everyone to watch, and then ate a few bites in public.

Although it is morning, the temperature is slowly rising.

When everyone saw this popsicle, they immediately became interested.

But as soon as I inquired about the price, ten cents a piece, I was stunned.

For many ordinary people, ten cents is the cost of a day. Who gave you the courage to exchange a day's rations for a popsicle?

So, an hour passed.

The ten new stores opened by Dream Group attracted countless spectators, but none of the popsicles were sold.

This shop near Taipingfang has the best location and the most crowds.

On the sign at the entrance of the shop, under the "Old Chang'an Popsicle", there is a line of small golden characters: the seventh branch.

Not far away, Du He folded his hands and looked at him quietly. Standing behind him was the Minister of Chinese and Military Affairs in ordinary clothes.

Hou Junji looked anxiously at those people who only asked but didn't buy, and thought, if he wins, wouldn't he have to disappoint His Majesty's good intentions?
Let alone popsicles, it would not be worthwhile if Li Er reprimanded him.

Du He saw it, and asked with a smile: "Master Hou, this popsicle can't be sold, why do you think you are more anxious than me?"

Hou Junji wiped his forehead and shook his head: "Du He, I'm not worried about you, I'm hot, and it's getting hotter and hotter today."

Changsun Wuji and others said one after another: "Everyone, watch carefully, you must not buy popsicles, and you must not let people related to Du He buy them. People from the Dream Group are not allowed, and people from the Laiguo Mansion are not allowed to buy popsicles." Not to mention."

Before the words were finished, a group of teenagers suddenly appeared not far away.

These teenagers walked quickly with purses in their hands, and then shouted loudly when they came to the shop.

"Boss, buy popsicles!"

"I want ten popsicles!"

"I want five!"

"I want fifteen."

"I only want three!"

Not long after, all the popsicles in the seventh branch were sold out, and all of them were bought by these teenagers.

Hou Junji and the others were dumbfounded.

They all heard from Du He just now that the seventh branch alone has prepared 200 popsicles today.

In the blink of an eye, it was bought by these more than 20 teenagers?

The key point is that each of these teenagers held a handful of popsicles, but they didn't eat them all by themselves, but distributed them to the surrounding crowd.

What is the origin of these teenagers?
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Look, those boys, they are students of the Imperial College."

Everyone took a closer look, and sure enough, many people were familiar to everyone, and they were the heirs of the courtiers.

Everyone turned their heads and glared at Kong Yingda.

Changsun Wuji said angrily: "Master Kong, didn't you agree yesterday that you should go back and tell everyone in the Imperial College not to come out and buy popsicles?"

Kong Yingda looked innocent and said: "Old man... There is nothing I can do about this matter. This group of students all regard the Huyi county uncle as idols. After they found out about this matter yesterday, they threatened to come to support the Huyi county uncle. , I can't stop it either."

Since Du He single-handedly promoted the rebuilding of the Imperial Academy, his prestige among the students of the Imperial Academy even surpassed that of Kong Yingda.

Coupled with Du He's young age, eclectic approach to things, and the richest man in Chang'an, he was naturally infatuated by a group of teenagers.

No, after receiving the news of the bet between Du He and Hou Junji yesterday, a group of guys conspired to support Du He. The most direct way was to bring all their money bags to buy popsicles.

After a while, I saw the old man rushing over and said to Du He: "Young master, young master, that's great. The popsicles in our ten branches, a total of two thousand, are all sold out. If I hadn't told them to close early, I'm afraid they will be sold out by now." They were all surrounded by the common people and couldn’t walk away, and now, there are still many people who want to eat popsicles but can’t buy them.”

When the people around heard it, they all shouted that it was impossible, thinking that Du He was cheating. How could it be possible to sell [-] popsicles?One must know that an hour has passed, and no one has ever bought popsicles.

Hearing everyone's doubts, Du He smiled and said, "Old Fu, tell them how the popsicles are sold?"

The old man hurriedly said: "At first, no one bought popsicles. After the gang of teenagers came, they bought a lot of popsicles and gave them to everyone. After eating, many people no longer thought it was expensive and took the initiative to buy it That's it, our two thousand popsicles were sold out in less than a moment."

The crowd was stunned.

this is okay too?
But hearing Hou Junji next to him, he suddenly roared happily: "That's great, I lost."

When everyone heard this, wouldn't this guy be crazy?
Hou Junji also felt that his reaction was a bit abnormal, so he hurriedly returned to his normal expression, and said, "I would like to accept the bet, Du He, I lost."

Du He waved his hand.

I saw the old Fu turned around and ran to the tenth store, and after a short time, he brought a wooden barrel over.

thump.

The barrel fell to the ground.

Old Fu opened it himself.

I saw a bucket full of popsicles displayed in front of everyone.

When Hou Junji saw it, his eyes lit up.

Du He said with a half-smile: "Master Hou, it's too late to regret it now, these are a hundred popsicles!"

Hou Junji waved his hand and said indifferently: "What's the problem? Back then, when I led the soldiers to attack the Turks, I drank a bucket of water in one go. You popsicles, if you eat them, are almost like water, so there's nothing to be afraid of." .”

"Okay, good man," Du He laughed loudly, "Come here, bring a chair for Master Hou."

when.

After the chairs were set, Hou Junji sat down, rolled up his sleeves, with a popsicle in his left hand and a popsicle in his right. Under everyone's gaze, he began to eat, with a happy smile on his face.

Popsicles, so many popsicles are mine... Hahaha... I want to be an undercover agent for His Majesty, hahaha...

Especially when he saw Changsun Wuji and others turning around enviously, Hou Junji became even more proud.

In a short time, he ate more than a dozen popsicles, and his mouth felt a little numb, and the teeth that were still hurting just now didn't feel any more.

The originally sweet and delicious popsicles seem to have no taste at this time.

The smile on Hou Junji's face gradually disappeared.
