Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 29 Can I just buy the second catty?
Ruhua is the personal maid of Miss Qiqi in Tianxian Pavilion.

Usually, when Miss Qiqi needs to buy something, if she doesn't have time, Ruhua will go out to do it.

In Pingkangfang, basically every top girl in a brothel will have such a maid beside her.

"Girl, since you asked the cook to start making some sweets, now these sweets have become a must-have dish for entertaining distinguished guests in every high-end brothel in Pingkangfang.

However, these sweets consume too much icing sugar. If it weren't for the extravagant spending of those distinguished guests, our Tianxiang Pavilion would not be willing to spend such a large amount of money. "

In the west market, Ruhua followed behind Miss Qiqi, talking non-stop.

On the contrary, girl Qiqi basically seldom speaks.

I don't know how the master and servant get along with each other.

"Using tea and snacks to entertain distinguished guests is much better than using fine wine, and you don't have to worry about those guests getting drunk and going crazy."

Girl Qiqi asked Tianxiang Pavilion to make sweets, obviously not only to satisfy her own appetite.

She is now selling her art but not her body, but in Tianxiang Pavilion, it is impossible not to come out to pick up guests.

So how to make the scene of receiving guests look more elegant is something she needs to consider.

"That's true! But my mother is really stingy. She only distributes a small amount of icing sugar every day. Instead, she asks you to pay for the extra use."

"The wool comes from the sheep, and you didn't pay for the extra money. Why are you so anxious?"

Qiqi knew why Ruhua was so resentful.

Because at the beginning, half of these sweets fell into her mouth, resulting in a huge consumption of sweets in Tianxiang Pavilion.

As long as my mother inquired a little bit, she would know the reason, so she began to set a bunch of restrictions.

"Hmph, I just think that Miss, you have attracted so many customers and earned so much money for Tianxiang Pavilion, but they are so careful in their calculations, which makes people very uncomfortable."

"There's no way to do this, just think about it. At worst, let's buy less icing today."

When Miss Qiqi finished speaking, she had already arrived near Nero's icing shop.

However, she found that something seemed to be happening in front of her, and she looked very lively.

"White as snow, sweet as honey!"

"Great opening bonus, half price for the second catty!"

"Don't miss it when you pass by, Datang is the only one!"

"When you're sleepy and tired, drink sugar water!"

Various guises with strange slogans were held up by several guys in uniform, and they kept yelling there.

Merchants in the West Market naturally have their own signs when they do business.

But it is very rare to see such a blatant one like the one in front of you.

Especially the promotional activity of half price for the second catty, which has never been seen before.

"Girl, it looks like a new icing shop has opened here."

Although Ruhua is fat, she has very good eyesight.

The four characters of "Baitang Shop" happened to be within her understanding range.

"White sugar? Isn't the icing sugar all black with yellow inside? Could it be that the icing sugar sold here is still white?"

Sure enough, Miss Qiqi was immediately attracted by this shop.

"Half price for the second catty, girl, can you tell the guy that we only buy the second catty?"

As soon as Ruhua said this, Qiqi didn't want to talk to her anymore.

……

"Master, this is the sugar I just bought from the sugar shop opposite. I tasted it and it's very sweet. It should indeed be sugar."

Ah San opened the white sugar wrapped in oil paper, and snow-white crystals appeared in front of Nero.

After licking his index finger with his tongue, Nero quickly dipped a little sugar into his mouth.

very sweet!

It's a little sweeter than homemade icing.

And this sweetness is very pure, there is no smell of other magazines in it.

Nero's heart immediately began to sink.

He heard yesterday that the shop opposite actually sells sugar. To be honest, he didn't really care.

When it comes to selling icing sugar, in Chang'an City, Nero has never been afraid of anyone.

As long as Tang Ren Xungui doesn't engage in forced buying and selling, he doesn't worry at all that someone can beat him upright.

But when grains of white sugar melted on the tip of his tongue, Nero's self-confidence also slowly disappeared.

"How much is this white sugar?"

At this time, Nero can only hope that the other party's price is much higher than his own, and see if he can rely on the price advantage to win.

After all, white sugar has never appeared before.

Nero believes that any new thing will not be cheap when it is first released, and there is no reason to sell it cheap.

If Nero sold it himself, he would have to sell it for at least ten cents a catty.

"Five strings of money per catty!"

"Five strings of money for a catty?"

Nero breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is not as high as he imagined, but one catty of sugar can also buy two and a half catties of icing, which is quite expensive, and it should not bring too much impact on his icing business.

"Yes, but half price for the second catty, and half price for the third catty, plus an extra bowl of double-skin milk."

As soon as Ah San said this, Nero became restless.

Today, in order to show that he is not afraid of the sugar shop opposite, he has been in the backyard of the Nero icing shop from beginning to end, making tea there "calmly".

So he really didn't understand the situation outside.

"Isn't that equivalent to selling them for three pennies? How do they make money? Also, what is that pair of skin milk?"

Nero directly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and stared at Ah San dumbfounded.

"This is indeed how they sell it today. Not only that, they also set up a tasting area at the entrance of the shop, and everyone can try their white sugar.

Now the crowd outside is about to completely surround their shop, and even Marquis Wu, who is patrolling the street, has come to help maintain order. "

"Didn't you say yesterday that the shop across the street was opened by people from the Qin family? Then the prodigal son of the Qin family bought thousands of icing sugar from us, and their white sugar is probably made by processing these icing sugars." into.

If it's just selling two sticks for more than a catty, it's impossible to make money. What's the point of them making such a loss?Does Qin Xiedao really want to be a prodigal? "

Nero was very angry at this time.

In his opinion, Qin Xiedao can earn his money well, and everyone is happy to cooperate.

Are you not afraid that you won't sell icing to him in the future if you are tossing so much now?

"I don't know, but I heard that the Qin family has sent people to Lingnan, planning to build a icing workshop there, directly produce their own icing, and then transport it to Chang'an City."

Ah San was able to inquire about this news, obviously Qin Xiedao was willing to let him inquire about it.

Otherwise, he is a native of India, how could he be so well informed?
