When he entered the noodle shop, the scene he saw surprised Shao Yi.
The seats were full, and everyone was wolfing down a bowl of instant noodles as if they were eating some delicacies. The scene could only be described as spectacular.
There were even many customers who did not care about the lack of seats. They squatted at the entrance of the noodle shop with instant noodles in their hands. There were dozens of them at the entrance. This scene was the most powerful advertisement, so the number of people in the noodle shop increased.
More than half of the 200 packets of instant noodles had already been sold. It seemed that they would not be able to sell enough.
The Spicy Strips were also sold quite a lot. They were even more popular than instant noodles. The customers were grimacing as they ate the Spicy Strips…
Modern people could eat spicy food, so the spiciness of spicy sticks was nothing to modern people.
But in ancient times?
Chili was originally from America and was only introduced to Nine Regions during the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. There was no chili at all during the Northern Song Dynasty. At this time, the spicy taste mainly referred to the taste of pepper, ginger, and dogwood.
When had they ever tasted the taste of pure chili? The spiciness was just right. If it was a little more spicy, they definitely wouldn't be able to stand it.
"It's too satisfying. This spiciness is too refreshing.”
"Is this called Spicy Strips? This taste was simply…indescribable!”
" I've traveled to many places and eaten countless delicacies, but none of them has ever been as stimulating as this Chili Strip. I can't take a bite of it, but I still want another bite. This feeling can only be described in one word: cool!”
"And this cola, it's simply too delicious. Eating a mouthful of Spicy Strips and drinking a mouthful of cola, it's simply not something that a god would exchange for.”
……
Shao Yi knew that this Culinary God Noodle Restaurant was definitely popular.
And this was just the beginning.
"Young master, are you the owner of this shop?”A satisfied businessman who had finished eating instant noodles came over and greeted Shao Yi.
"I am. What's the matter?" Shao Yi asked.
The merchant had a fawning smile on his face."I want to ask, how many mirrors do you have in stock? I want to buy more."
"I'm a merchant, and I mainly sell goods in the south, north, and Bianliang through the Grand Canal. This time, I've shipped the top Su embroidery and tribute-grade Gu Zhu Purple Bamboo Shoots from Jiangnan to sell in the north. I just arrived at Yang Valley last night, so I'm resting here for a day.”
" I heard that there's a God of Cuisine noodle shop here, so I came here, but..."
"I actually found something good." The merchant waved the mirror in his hand.
"Young master, may I ask how many mirrors are produced? Can you sell me more?"
"I will help Young Master sell the mirror to Bianliang, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. I guarantee that Young Master will be able to make a lot of money!”
Shao Yi sized up the businessman. He looked like he weighed about 200 pounds. He had a big head and small eyes. He was a shrewd person.
"Sure." Shao Yi nodded." A mirror costs twenty taels of silver. I have however much you want."”
The merchant smiled awkwardly." Young Master, look, you are selling it for 20 taels in Yanggu County. I am buying in bulk, so please give me a discount and let me earn some money. 20 taels of silver is too expensive.”
Shao Yi thought for a moment." Indeed, my retail price is 20 taels. It's not suitable for you to purchase it in bulk.”
The merchant chuckled and nodded." That's right. Why don't you give me a price and consider it? How about ten taels of silver? Young Master, if you sell it to me, I promise to buy a large amount of it. This time, I will buy 1,000 mirrors. That is a huge sum of 10,000 taels of silver. What do you think, Young Master?”
Shao Yi suddenly turned hostile. His face darkened and he said impatiently,"Ten taels of silver? Do you think mirrors don't cost anything? Ten taels of silver is not even enough to cover the cost!"
Shao Yi deliberately scared him. This was also a negotiation technique. Anyway, only he could provide the mirror. He was not afraid that this cunning businessman would not take the bait.
"How about this, I'll raise the retail price of the mirrors in Yanggu County to thirty taels of silver per mirror. I'll sell them to you for twenty taels of silver per mirror, but the minimum purchase quantity has to reach a thousand taels of silver to get this discount.”
"If you only want to buy a few hundred mirrors, then I'm sorry, but I can only sell them to you for 25 taels of silver per mirror.”
"If the purchase quantity is less than 100 mirrors, there will be no discount.”
Shao Yi had made up his mind to slaughter this fat sheep.
It seemed that he would have to rely on the mirror for his first big income.
And the most important thing was that Shao Yi had taken a fancy to this merchant's goods!
Tea leaves and silk!
Top-grade Gu Zhu Purple Bamboo Shoots and top-grade Su embroidery! What kind of concept was this? Even in modern times, it was a hard currency that could be easily exchanged for money!
