Chapter 25 Can chopsticks be sold for 500,000 taels?

"Lu Tao, are you okay? Everyone is hungry."

"It'll be ready soon."

Experience +100.

Experience +100.

…

In the room, Lu Tao had already carefully put the insulating box and ice beads into the system space, and turned to the chopsticks to gain experience crazily.

Lu Tao directly poured a bowl of flour into the wooden basin, then dropped a drop of blood medicine and began to stir.

After upgrading your chopsticks, you can use them to pick up and turn vegetables, and you can’t help but want to eat them.

But Lu Tao thought that chopsticks have many functions, not only for eating and picking up vegetables, but also for kneading noodles and stirring potions.

If this is the case, then he will use it in another way.

This way, you won’t feel like eating when using chopsticks, right?

as expected.

When kneading noodles, that feeling of wanting to eat disappears.

Moreover, Lu Tao had already concluded through previous experiments that the experience gained from swords and arrows in different cultivation levels was different, and there was a huge difference.

The same is true for chopsticks.

Therefore, Lu Tao directly tried the blood medicine used in the blood refining realm.

As he expected, his experience increased dramatically.

Each time is 100 experience, a hundred times faster than before, saving time and effort.

Just like that, Lu Tao held a lot of chopsticks and stirred crazily in the wooden basin, round and round.

Lu Tao soon gained all his experience, then put everything directly into the system space and walked out of the room.

"Let's go and eat."

A group of people came to the second floor of Tianyun Inn.

"Braised glazed pork, stir-fried liver and kidneys, tomato and egg soup..."

During breakfast time, Lu Tao ordered lunch dishes, mainly because he wanted to try something new.

It's been several days since I arrived in this world, and I haven't eaten much good food yet.

And the glazed pig he ordered was extremely expensive. A plate of braised pork cost fifty taels. The stir-fried liver and kidneys were also glazed pig, and the eggs in the tomato and egg soup were not ordinary eggs...

A table of eight dishes and one soup cost more than three hundred taels.

The money spent made everyone else feel a little heartbroken, but only Lu Tao and He Zongming didn't care.

Of course, expensive means expensive. After eating these vegetables, as long as they are refined within a short period of time, your cultivation level will be greatly improved.

After eating and drinking, the others brought some leftovers back to the big black dog. Lu Tao and He Zongming went to the first floor of the inn and found Shopkeeper Feng.

…

"What? You want to discuss business with me?"

Shopkeeper Feng looked at Lu Tao and the others with some surprise, and then welcomed them into a nearby room.

First, I made a cup of tea for Lu Tao and the others.

Shopkeeper Feng asked with a smile: "I wonder what business you two want to discuss?"

Lu Tao did not answer, but said to himself: "When I was eating on your second floor earlier, I found that many guests were very interested in some of your dishes and wanted to order them. However, either their parents didn't like it or they didn't want to order it. Let the children order, or the children don’t like to eat, so the parents can only order other dishes. Shopkeeper Feng must be familiar with this situation, right?”

"Yes, this is very common. It happens almost every day in our inn."

Shopkeeper Feng nodded and said: "Who is not in this situation? Everyone's taste is different, and the natural selection is also different. Some like sweet, some like spicy, and some like sour."

Shopkeeper Feng smiled and didn't understand why Lu Tao mentioned this problem. Could it be that he couldn't solve it?

The matter of eating is inherently difficult for everyone to agree on. Who can change this?

Lu Tao smiled faintly, took out a pair of chopsticks and placed them in front of Shopkeeper Feng, saying, "These are a pair of chopsticks that can change people's eating choices. Even if they don't like food, they can still be eaten with gusto as long as they are eaten with these chopsticks."

Shopkeeper Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"They are actually eighth-level low-grade chopsticks?"

Shopkeeper Feng was a little surprised. Chopsticks are so common in life, but he had never seen them before. "Are these chopsticks as exaggerated as you said?"

Lu Tao said: "Shopkeeper Feng can try it himself... Uh, by the way, I wonder if shopkeeper Feng's cultivation has reached the innate realm?"

"What do you mean by your words?" Shopkeeper Feng's eyes were half-squinted.

"I'm sorry, the shopkeeper."

Lu Tao apologized: "The main reason is that these chopsticks only have this effect on those below the innate realm, and are ineffective on people who have reached the innate realm."

"Oh? That's interesting."

Shopkeeper Feng directly called two waiters and asked them to verify the effectiveness of the chopsticks. The result...

"Boss, it seems true. You know I never eat bitter melon, but now, with these chopsticks, I just picked up a piece and couldn't help but want to eat it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter immediately started eating, and then the second, third...

Likewise, the other waiter did the same. He ate the eggplant that he had never touched before, but he didn't look disgusted at all.

He Zongming on the side looked at this scene and couldn't help but glance at Lu Tao in surprise.

Lu Tao looked calm, not surprised at all.

[Chopsticks: 0/1 million (eighth-level low-grade, below the innate realm). Use these chopsticks to eat food, and you will never suffer from anorexia. Even the most disgusting food will be eaten, and when eating, the taste will not change. There is no change, but in my heart I no longer reject it, I even enjoy its taste)]

"It's great news for anorexics."

Lu Tao thought like this, looked at Shopkeeper Feng who was already moved, and said: "Shopkeeper, how do you do?"

"Yes, these chopsticks work really well."

Shopkeeper Feng nodded. With such chopsticks, once they are launched in the inn, there is no doubt that the business of their inn will be better, but just one pair will definitely not be enough.

Shopkeeper Feng asked directly: "I wonder how many chopsticks like this Mr. Lu has?"

"How much do you plan to buy, shopkeeper Feng?" Lu Tao said with a smile.

Shopkeeper Feng asked with a smile: "Did these chopsticks come from the hands of Shaoxia Lu? Did you make them yourself?"

Lu Tao said: "Yes, Lu's ancestors have always been in the chopstick business. Unfortunately, no one has made advanced chopsticks for dozens of generations. Fortunately, the mercy of God has allowed Lu's generation to finally make chopsticks." It’s a pity that he can’t go further to reach the level of chopsticks, otherwise if he can enter the innate eye, Lu may be able to reach the sky in one step.”

As Lu Tao spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.

He Zongming listened to Lu Tao's words and drank tea silently, covering up the corners of his mouth that couldn't help but twitch.

Shopkeeper Feng nodded when he heard this. He didn't know whether he believed what Lu Tao said. He just thought about it and said, "Then I will order a hundred pairs first. If the effect is good, we can cooperate again in the future."

Lu Tao suddenly smiled, "The effect will definitely be good, and the business of Tianyun Inn will be even more prosperous."

"At what price are you going to sell it to me, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Tao said seriously: "Although my chopsticks are eighth-level low-grade items, they are different from ordinary high-level items. The price can be cheaper than seniors. Ordinary eighth-level low-level items are usually 10,000 taels of silver each. I I’ll give you a pair of these chopsticks at nine thousand.”

Shopkeeper Feng's mouth twitched when he heard this, and so did He Zongming beside him.

A pair of chopsticks, nine thousand taels of silver?

"No, no, no."

Shopkeeper Feng shook his head repeatedly and said: "Young Master Lu, you are not doing business sincerely. There are no chopsticks worth this price. Chopsticks are only used for eating. This price is inappropriate."

Then Shopkeeper Feng changed the topic again and said: "However, I can't take advantage of a junior like you. Although these chopsticks are not very useful, they have reached the advanced level after all. A thousand taels, maybe, a pair of one thousand taels."

"No, no, senior, how can you bargain like this? Others bargain at the waist, but you are cutting from the ankle. If you bargain like this, Lu will not be able to afford to eat."

Lu Tao also shook his head repeatedly, and then changed the topic and said: "However, we will stay in your inn for a while, so I'll treat it as a favor to our seniors. Eight thousand, no less, eight thousand taels a pair."

"It's still too expensive. Although the effect of these chopsticks seems to be good, it is only for those special groups. It doesn't make any difference for ordinary people to use it. Two thousand, two thousand for a pair, can't be any higher."

…

Just like that, with He Zongming and the two waiters looking a little confused, the old man and the young man were arguing wildly in the room about the price of chopsticks.

Just like buying vegetables at the wet market, I will return them after you chop them, and you chop them after I return them.

He Zongming didn't expect Lu Tao to have such sales ability, and the waiter had never seen his shopkeeper bargain so hard.

After much back and forth, the final price was fixed at 5,000 taels a pair.

One hundred pairs were sold, with a total price of 500,000 taels.

“A pleasure to work with, a pleasure to work with.”

Seeing Lu Tao and Shopkeeper Feng clasping fists and saluting each other with a smile on his face, He Zongming looked a little dazed.

500,000 taels.

He has been spreading the practice all his life, and has never seen even 10,000 taels, let alone 500,000 taels.

As a result, Lu Tao only sold 100 pairs of chopsticks and sold 500,000.

If anyone had told him before that he could make money selling chopsticks, he wouldn't have believed it.

"Brother Lu, what happened to my grandfather?"

As soon as the two returned to the yard, He Yuanshuang saw his grandfather in a trance and Lu Tao with an excited face. He couldn't help but ask...
