Early the next morning, there were already many people lining up at the entrance of the various relay stations and restaurants.
"Are you also here to buy Li Consortium's steamed buns?”
"Yeah, I regretted buying only one yesterday. It's so delicious!”
"I couldn't even buy it yesterday!"
After all, more than 50,000 steamed buns could not satisfy the appetite of Chang 'an. Therefore, many people did not even manage to get one yesterday.
There were also many people who came because of its fame. After all, people had a herd mentality. When they saw so many people queuing up here, they immediately subconsciously felt that this was definitely a good item.
Now, there was no need for the tasting segment. Everyone saw that there were so many people queuing up. How could the quality of the food be fake?
Very quickly, the waiter came on stage with one steamer after another of the Li Consortium's steamed buns. The commoners immediately became excited.
"Give me ten!"
"I want twenty!"
"Hurry up! I'm starving!"
Looking at the noisy commoners, the waiters forced a smile and said,"Dear guests, please come one by one. Fragrant and sweet Li Consortium steamed buns, 30 wen each!”
" Wait, 30 wen?!"
The crowd immediately fell silent. They looked over in a daze, wondering if they had heard wrongly.
"Why is it 30 wen?" The burly man at the front of the line said unhappily," Wasn't it only 20 wen yesterday?”
"That's right! Why did the price increase in just one day?"
"20 copper coins is already very expensive.!”
The citizens 'voices of dissatisfaction grew louder and louder, and they gradually became indignant.
"This…this…what should we do! Should I not have listened to Young Master Li?”
In the restaurant, the manager who was paying close attention to everything was sweating profusely. He had never faced so many angry gazes from the crowd before.
This was the first time in his life that he had fallen into the sea of people's opinions. He was worried that his shop would be destroyed if he was not careful!
In the distance, Yuan Tiangang and Li You were also observing in the dark.
"The riots of the people are getting more and more serious. Will this move of His Highness King Chu actually work?”
Yuan Tiangang was deep in thought. He was very interested in this. He did not even want to use calculations to see the results directly. Instead, he wanted to witness everything with his own eyes.
"Everyone, calm down!"
At this moment, the waiter was also sweating profusely.""There's really nothing we can do about it. Because the supply of steamed buns was in short supply yesterday, they were sold out very quickly. Therefore, we can only raise the price and sell them to customers who really want to buy them.”
Li You was the one who had taught them this.
As soon as this sentence was said, it was indeed very effective. Very soon, the commotion among the commoners decreased a little.
"Sigh…no matter what, this is really too expensive.”
Many people shook their heads and sighed, but their bodies did not move at all.
Although the price had increased, Li You's words gave them a feeling that they were being valued. Unknowingly, their dissatisfaction had subsided by more than half.
Many of the servants were ordered by the dignitaries in Chang 'an to buy the Li family's steamed buns and try them. It was a death order that must be fulfilled.
"Then stop talking nonsense and quickly start selling!”
The burly man at the front said impatiently. He had come here today specifically to eat the Li Consortium Mantou. His stomach was growling from hunger.
"Alright!" The waiter heaved a sigh of relief and opened the lid of the steamer." To ensure that everyone can buy it, each person can only buy five!”
" Huh?!"
As soon as he said this, the queue that had just quieted down immediately started discussing again!
"What kind of joke is this!"
" How can five be enough?!"
"My master ordered us to buy ten!”
"Are you idiots?!”
Everyone was dumbstruck by this rule. They had never heard of it before.
I've never heard of doing business like this!
However, when they took a closer look, they saw a waiter dressed like a restaurant at the end of the line, glaring at them like a tiger watching its prey. He was guarding against anyone who came to queue up again.
It seemed that the limit of five was for real!
"How ridiculous!"
The burly man was also stunned for a moment. After muttering unhappily, he swung his hand and slapped 150 wen on the table.
"Then let's have five!"
With his opening, the commoners behind him also followed suit. Each of them bought five Li Consortium Mantous and left while muttering.
Up until now, although they were extremely indignant, no one had left!
This scene was exactly the same in every place, causing the managers of the various relay stations to stare blankly!
"Amazing! It's simply divine!"
They couldn't help but recall the confident Li You from last night. They felt like they were in a dream."Everything is exactly as Young Master Li predicted!”
Even the knowledgeable Yuan Tiangang could not help but gasp in shock after witnessing this scene with his own eyes.
"This Penniless Priest is truly convinced this time. Your Highness 'grasp of the human heart is simply rare in the world!”
" You're overpraising me," Li You said with a smile." It's actually very simple. The harder it is to get, the more precious it is. After all, the rarer an item is, the more valuable it is. Therefore, in the case of a limit of five, the price of 30 wen is acceptable.”
" Yes." Yuan Tiangang nodded in conviction." That's why the gold, silver, and jewelry are so precious. It's true."”
However, Yuan Tiangang was a little puzzled.
"But how is Your Highness so confident that this plan of limiting the purchase to five will succeed?”
Li You smiled slightly, his eyes full of a sense of control as if he had seen through everything.
"If the limit is five, then people will think that they can only buy five buns. If they don't use it up, they will feel that it's a waste. So even if they don't need five buns, they will choose to buy five! Moreover, those who could secretly queue up repeatedly could buy five more than others, and they would also feel the pleasure of taking advantage of the situation!”
After Li You finished speaking, Yuan Tiangang was completely convinced. However, in the next moment, he heard Li You say,"However, it's still too early for Tiangang to be shocked.”
"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Yuan Tiangang widened his eyes.”
"Believe it or not, I'll sell these Li family steamed buns for 50 wen each tomorrow!" Li You said word by word.”
