"I said 3000 catties, but not all at once, but about 100 catties a day.
If it's one tael of coins, then one jin is sixteen strings of coins. Three thousand jin is forty-eight thousand strings of coins…"
Du He began to calculate.
Ru Yue, who had just regained her senses, widened her eyes.
She stared fixedly at Du He.
"Are you sure it's three thousand jin?" Not three thousand taels?"
"Of course it's 3000 catties. Is there a problem?”
Du He asked in confusion.
He did not expect the tall girl, who had been so confident just a moment ago, to shake her head like a rattle-drum.
"No, no, no. Don't say that my small snack shop can't ask for so much.
Even if all the shops in Chang 'an added up, they would not be able to consume 3,000 catties in a month.”
"That's impossible!"
This time, it was Du He's turn to have a strange expression.
"What's impossible? Do you know how much frosting my shop can sell every month? It was less than ten catties.
Even if there was one shop in every market in Chang 'an, ten shops in each of the eastern and western markets, they could only sell more than 100 catties.
3,000 catties is enough for Chang 'an to consume for several years, and this doesn't include the market occupied by the frosting..."
Speaking of business, he didn't expect the tall girl to be so knowledgeable.
Hearing her say this, Du He immediately became dejected.
He now knew that he was wrong.
Originally, he thought that as long as the white sugar was produced, it would naturally be sold.
However, he did not think about the problem of market saturation.
This was the Tang Dynasty.
Not to mention sugar, even salt was something that ordinary people could not afford.
The more expensive refined salt would only be bought by rich families.
Ordinary people used coarse salt.
If salt was a necessity, then sugar was a pure additional consumable.
Especially the white sugar in his hand. Such a good appearance had become a luxury item.
"Hey, are you alright?"
Seeing Du He suddenly become dejected, the tall girl Ru Yue asked with concern.
How could Du He still be in the mood to talk?
He waved his hand weakly.
"I'm fine. There's a total of 25 catties of white sugar here.”
She didn't know why, but when she saw this guy in front of her, she seemed to have lost her spirit.
Ruyue's heart ached.
She pretended to be forthright and waved her hand, replying in a crisp voice,
"There's no need to weigh it. Twenty-five catties of white sugar is a total of four hundred strings.
I see that it's not easy for you to take it, so I'll exchange it for forty taels of gold. Oh right, my surname is Li.”
"Thank you, Miss Li."
Du He casually gave a perfunctory reply and let the Niu brothers take the gold before turning around and leaving.
As for Li Ruyue, she realized that the other party didn't even look at her before leaving.
For some reason, she was a little angry.
She bit her teeth and clenched her small fists, staring at Du He's back.
"This bastard, I told him my surname out of goodwill, but he actually gave me a hard time!
Hmph, he really has no conscience. To think that I trusted him so much. He gave me the money without even weighing it.”
When Du He walked out of the door, she actually didn't look back.
Li Ruyue was already trembling with anger.
She glared at the waiter standing beside her.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and weigh it."
If you find out that there's a tael less, you'll be responsible for getting the extra money back from that bastard.”
The waiter who had suffered an unexpected disaster did not dare to say anything more and obediently went to weigh the scales.
When the shop was empty.
Li Ruyue, who had calmed down, suddenly cupped her burning face.
"What's wrong with me? Why would he be angry with someone he had only met twice?
That's right…that guy must be too annoying. He doesn't put me in his eyes at all.
He even bragged about 3,000 catties. Eh, could it be that he could really provide 100 catties a day?
Yes, when he heard that the entire Chang 'an Fortress could not sell for 3,000 catties, his expression changed.
Because you can't sell the white sugar in your hand, you're giving me a hard time. Hmph…I'll teach you a lesson next time!”
Achoo!
Du He, who had just walked out of the snack shop, suddenly sneezed loudly.
He rubbed his nose and thought to himself, Could it be that someone is scolding me?”
However, after thinking for a long time, he could not figure out who it was, so he could only give up.
He did not expect that it would be in the snack shop just now.
He had already offended a little girl because he was 'condescending.'
The other party was planning to teach him a lesson the next time they met.
"Young Master, where are we going?"
Just as Du He was in a daze, the Niu brothers who had been following behind him asked.
After all, the three of them had been standing on the street for a long time, but their young master seemed to be in a daze.
After being questioned by Niu Dayi, Du He finally came to her senses.
Moreover, because of that sneeze, his essence, qi, and spirit returned to his body.
At this moment, he waved his hand and said loudly,"Go wherever you want, this Young Master will bring you to eat and drink!”
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Niu Da and Niu Er's voices were even louder.
At this moment, a voice filled with hatred and gnashing teeth sounded from the side.
"Isn't this the second young master of the Du family? I didn't expect to meet you again so soon."
Du He turned her head and her eyes lit up.
He was wondering who it was, but it turned out to be the Third Young Master of the Wang family whom he had tricked last time.
At this moment, the other party was glaring at him.
Du He didn't show any signs of hatred when enemies met.
Instead, he smiled brightly.
Looking at the Third Young Master of the Wang Clan, it was as if they had reunited with an old friend they had not seen for many years.
"The person who sent the reward points is here again. This Third Young Master of the Wang family is really a good person!”
