On the third day.
On the streets of Chang 'an, there were long lines in front of many courier stations and restaurants as usual.
This spectacular scene attracted the attention of many passers-by. After asking about what was going on, they all joined the queue.
"Is the legendary Li Clan Mantou really that magical? Is it really that delicious?"
Countless people had doubts in their hearts as they waited for the waiter to push the Li Consortium Mantou to the entrance of the shop.
However, this time, the waiter even put up a big sign at the side.
"Famous in Chang 'an, the Li family's steamed buns are limited to 3,000.”
The moment they saw the sign, the people in line exploded!
"Are you kidding me? How can three thousand be enough?？”
"It was already ridiculous that everyone could only buy five yesterday!”
"He's even more overboard today? Who's your boss? Call him out!”
The waiter wiped his sweat nervously and said,""Please forgive me, my dear guests. There's nothing we can do about it.”
" What do you mean no way!?" Someone said angrily," If you don't explain clearly, don't even think about selling your steamed buns!”
The waiter composed himself. With the experience of the past few days, he was much calmer.
"This…as I said yesterday, the Li Consortium's steamed buns that we purchased couldn't satisfy everyone's enthusiasm at all. They were selling too quickly, so we had no choice. We can only sell 3,000 a day, and we can't get any more!”
There was a commotion in the crowd. Someone asked,"So, I can go to other places to buy it?”
The waiter nodded and said," That's right. However, our restaurant is already very big, and we can only get 3,000. The other places probably only have 1,000 or 2,000 portions. They will be robbed in a while."”
"This is too…!"
Hearing this, everyone was speechless. It was actually very difficult to buy even if one had the money!
Wasn't this already considered expensive?
"What are you guys doing? Why don't you speed up production?”
The waiter smiled apologetically." There's really no other way. They said that this is already the limit of production, so I advise all of you to buy as soon as possible."”
After saying this, the waiter was ready to start selling. The people in line gradually quieted down.
However, the way they looked at each other and the atmosphere was already very strange. It was as if they were looking at an enemy!
"I can only buy five every day, and there are only three thousand steamed buns every day. If anyone sneaks back to buy a second time, that would be a heinous crime!”
Many commoners, especially those at the end of the line, had their eyes turn red.
They were extremely worried about whether there would be any steamed buns left when it was their turn!
At this moment, the waiter had already started to sell,"Fragrant and sweet Li Mantou, 50 wen each!"”
" What did you say?!"
The people at the front of the line were all dumbfounded. Damn, it had only been three days and it had already risen to 50 wen?!
Was there a mistake?
"You guys are crazy!"
A person at the front of the team finally couldn't hold it in anymore and stood out to scold,""Are you crazy about money? It's so expensive to sell it for 50 wen. Do you really think I'll give it to you?”
However, before the waiter could reply, the eyes of the people behind the queue lit up.
"You're not buying? That's great. I'll give you money, and you can buy it for me!”
"Go to the side! If you want to sell it, you should sell it to me!"
"If you don't want to buy it, then scram to the side. Why are poor people still taking up spots!”
Some people wanted him to help buy steamed buns, while others wanted him to scram and make room for another spot. After all, he was at the back of the queue. Who knew if he would still be able to buy the Li Consortium's steamed buns when it was his turn?
"Wha…what?"
That person was scolded so badly that he was directly blinded.
Shouldn't everyone help him with such an expensive bun? Why was it completely different from what he thought? Instead, he was the one being scolded like a dog?
Before he could come back to his senses, he was pushed aside by the crowd."If you're not buying, then don't block the way!"
Immediately, he was drowned in the crowd and lost. The people who bought it also took out their money without hesitation, as if they were afraid that others would snatch their share.
The 3,000 steamed buns were sold out in a short while!
However, there were still many people left in the line. They stood there in a daze. After a while, they reacted and hurriedly ran around to see if there were any shops that had leftover Li Consortium steamed buns to sell.
The super fast sale this time simply shocked all the managers!
They were as stunned as the people who did not buy it. They could not say a word for a long time. They were really shocked.
Without a doubt, Li You was like a god descending to the mortal world in their hearts! It was the reincarnation of an immortal!
If not for that, how could he have done such an unbelievable thing?
"Your Highness…you really have rendered me speechless.”
Yuan Tiangang, who had been paying attention to all of this, was already so shocked that he did not know what to say.
He believed that he was a learned man who could predict the future of the Great Tang. However, in just a few days, Yuan Tiangang felt like an ignorant child who had learned countless truths!
This King Chu, who was much younger than him, had given him wave after wave of shock. Yuan Tiangang had yet to digest the first wave when the next wave of shock left him at a loss!
"How is it? You see, that's the reason, right?”
Li You was still calm as he tasted the tea beside him. This tea with ginger, onion, and sheep oil was completely different from the tea in the future. Although the taste was far inferior, it was still possible to change the taste occasionally.
"At this point, the Li Consortium's Mantou's potential has basically been dug out. However, it has already achieved the effect I need.”
Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but say,"The principle that something is rare is valuable has really been brought to the extreme by Your Highness!" Not only was it limited, but it was also limited now. Even if it was 50 wen, even if they still had complaints, they would still pay for it!”
"That's right. The next step is to wait and see how much revenue we can generate!”
Li You's combination of taste testing, limited purchase, and limited quantity had directly created a miracle in the food industry of Tang. To achieve this level, Li You could be considered to have done his best.
……
A day later, Li Shimin was still in Taiji Palace, having a headache over the treasury.
"Your Majesty, you've already stayed up all night. Please rest.”
Li Shimin stopped handling government affairs and rubbed his eyebrows.
" By the way," Li Shimin asked casually while rubbing," Yang Jie seems to be very quiet these days. What is he doing?"”
