The capital of the Great Qin Empire, Xianyang.
It was noon, and the sun was scorching hot.
In a small tavern in Xi City, Gao Yao was sitting in the empty hall with a rag on his shoulder.
Looking at the children playing crazily outside, Gao Yao scratched his head in annoyance and said,
"This doesn't make sense. With my culinary skills and your newly developed highly distilled wine, even if it doesn't become popular in Great Qin, it will at least attract tens of thousands of people!”
"How could it be like this? It's been almost half a month since it opened, and basically no one has come!”
"What the hell is this place?”
Seeing Gao Yao's angry face, Jiang Bai, who was drinking a little wine, was instantly amused. He said to Gao Yao in a bad mood,
"I say, Gao Yao, why don't you take a look at where our tavern is?”
Jiang Bai pointed at the dirt road outside the street and the dilapidated houses around him.""This is Xi City! The poorest place in Xianyang.”
"Those who can live here are basically poor families. It's already good enough to have enough to eat every day. Who would have extra money to spend in the tavern?”
After listening to Jiang Bai's analysis, Gao Yao shook his head and sighed,"
"If we had known this would happen, we would have opened the tavern in the East City. I heard from the shop owner next door that it's a gathering place for nobles.”
Jiang Bai smiled but didn't say anything.
The reason why he didn't open the tavern in the East City was partly because the rent there was too high. Just the monthly rent alone cost three catties of gold!
The tavern they were in now only sold 400 taels of Qin every year, which was only equivalent to one tael of gold. It was equivalent to the price of two live sheep.
The difference between the two was more than fifty times. Jiang Bai and Gao Yao could not afford it at all.
Of course, the more important reason was to make him feel mysterious.
If the so-called otherworldly expert could be easily found by others, would he still be called an otherworldly expert?
Therefore, when choosing his place to settle down, Jiang Bai deliberately chose the most desolate place in Xi City.
Of course, they couldn't live in a remote area. They had to give people a chance to find them, right?
On this point, Zhuge Liang's self-packaging was extremely successful.
He kept saying that he would not be an official and would live in seclusion in the mortal world, but why didn't he just take his family and hide in the mountains and forests, but lived in Wolonggang, which was only dozens of miles away from Nanyang?
They only needed to drive for half a day to arrive, giving off the mysterious feeling of an expert.
After making the first step of the plan, Zhuge Liang immediately prepared for the second round of promotion, which was to let his friends promote him crazily in their circle of friends.
Sima Hui, Mr. Shui Jing, once praised him,"Only Kong Ming and Feng Chu can distinguish the great events of the world."”
Later, Xu Shu said bluntly,"Zhuge Liang is like a sleeping dragon.”
It was under this kind of public relations support that there was the story of Uncle Liu visiting the thatched cottage three times.
Right now, Jiang Bai, who had obtained the true skill of creating momentum, had already begun the second step of his self-packaging plan!
Jiang Bai put down his wine cup and said to Gao Yao,""Oh right, did you let those children go out and spread the songs these few days?”
This was a crucial part of his plan to expose himself. He could not afford to make any mistakes!
"Aiya, are you still worried about me doing things?”
Upon mentioning this, Gao Yao immediately said excitedly,"These days, I have mobilized nearly a hundred children to crazily promote the ballad you compiled on the streets.”
"Not only in Xi City, but I've also mobilized a lot of other Urban area! In order to prevent anyone from playing tricks, I even specially instigated some of the children to rebel. Whoever caught someone slacking off would be able to get roasted sweet potatoes to eat!”
"After so many days of publicity, the streets and alleys are now discussing this matter!”
"Also, according to your instructions, I didn't go down personally. Even if they wanted to investigate, they wouldn't be able to find out that it's us…"
As they were talking, the crisp sound of a children's song suddenly came from outside the door.
" There's a Kingdom Knight in the West City called Jiang Baijun. If we can get this person, we can fight against all the soldiers in the world…"
Jiang Bai looked at Gao Yao in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party could do this so beautifully.
If they continued to develop according to this trend, it was likely that it would not be long before it would cause a storm in the city!
When that time came, his reputation would definitely be able to spread quickly!
Thinking of this, Jiang Bai laughed out loud. He lay back on the self-made bamboo chair and began to drink wine leisurely.
At this moment, Gao Yao suddenly thought of something and said to Jiang Bai nervously,""Hey, Jiang Bai, are we going to continue wasting time like this?”
"Right now, we only have half a string of money left. This is only enough to support our expenses for the next two months. If we don't think of a way to increase our income, we'll have to live on air from now on!”
Compared to the anxious Gao Yao, the expression on Jiang Bai's face was much calmer.
He lazily pointed at the wooden sign hanging outside the door and said,"
"Don't worry. I have a feeling that business will definitely come in these few days.”
……
At this moment, on the streets of Xi City.
There were two tall men walking together. One of them was slender and had a fair face. His every move had an air of grandeur. He was obviously a student.
The other person's eyes shone brightly, and his body was majestic. There were calluses all over his palm. One look and one could tell that he was from the military.
"Young Master, this area of Xi City is extremely chaotic and has always been a gathering place for local ruffians. Why did you think of coming here today?”
When the young master who was walking in front heard this, he smiled and said,"General Meng, I wonder if you have heard of the songs that have been circulating in the streets recently? I heard that this person has remarkable abilities, but he is willing to suffer loneliness in Xi City. I have come to take a look.”
"Oh, right, after we enter, you can call me Young Master Fu.”
The warrior had no choice but to follow.
The two of them were Fu Su and Meng Tian, who had come because of their reputation. After Fu Su heard the song, his interest was piqued and he wanted to bring Meng Tian over to pay a visit.
Although Meng Tian was not interested in this person, for the sake of the Crown Prince's safety, she followed him with a helpless expression.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the entrance of the shop, Fu Su was attracted by the hanging wooden sign.
On it, it was written in extremely neat small seal characters: "This shop only sells ten jars of fine wine every day. Each jar is ten taels of gold. There is also a consultation service.”
"Each jar of wine costs ten taels of gold? What an arrogant tone! Then I really have to try it today!”
The interest on Fu Su's face grew. He rolled up his sleeves and strode in.
"This is too childish!"
Meng Tian, who was behind him, sighed again and again, but she followed him helplessly.
