Chapter 175 What is advertising
After half a stick of incense had passed, Qin Huaiyu looked at a few people with red eyes.
The pungent and piercing smell made him dare not scratch it again.
"Hey, Xiao Qin, if you just caught someone you shouldn't have caught..." Cheng Chumo came to Qin Huaiyu and said something lewd.
Then Qin Huaiyu was furious and ran away after Cheng Chumo.
Only Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang were left in the pepper field.
"Ruoshuang, please help pick some peppers and take them back for cooking at noon." Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang said.
When Li Ruoshuang heard Zhao Chen calling her this way, her heart felt as sweet as honey.
"Okay, I'll go right away. You take a rest here." Li Ruoshuang walked happily to the field, holding a bamboo basket that the village chief had just left here.
…
The few people stayed in the village for one more day and then returned to Chang'an City.
Chili peppers from the village also began to be delivered to the warehouse in Chang'an City.
But the strange thing is that Zhao Chen did not directly start asking people to sell peppers in the two cities of Chang'an City.
Two days later.
All the peppers in Wannian County have been picked.
After the villagers sent the peppers, Zhao Chen did not let them return to the village immediately.
Instead, they booked an inn for them in Chang'an City.
On the morning of the next day, many people with unfamiliar faces appeared on the streets of Chang'an City's East and West Municipalities.
They set up a stove and lighted a fire directly in the market.
Platefuls of fragrant chili-fried pork are cooked in the pot.
It immediately attracted the people of Chang'an City who lived here, as well as businessmen from all walks of life who stopped in Chang'an City.
Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang were sitting in a teahouse in the distance drinking tea, looking over here.
Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo were staying with the villagers to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
"Zhao Chen, is this okay?" Li Ruoshuang asked worriedly.
Although twenty acres of chili peppers seems like a lot, it doesn't amount to much if you really want to sell them.
Now
Zhao Chen actually said that the people in the east and west cities should taste it first.
Pepper is so expensive, so the price of pepper must not be too low.
After these people eat it, they won't think about buying these things.
Isn't it obvious that this is a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return?
Li Ruoshuang was puzzled, so she thought that this would definitely result in a lot of losses.
"The weather in Chang'an City is good these days. Except for the red peppers that are left out in the sun to ensure they don't go bad, those green peppers need to be sold as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, it will definitely break down over time, and you will suffer even more losses by then."
"Our target is not the people of Chang'an City, but the wealthy businessmen, nobles, and even the royal family."
"We need to rely on people's word of mouth to achieve the effect of advertising." Zhao Chen explained.
"Advertising? What do you mean?" Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen curiously.
"Propaganda means to advertise widely." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
People in the distance were already eating fried pork with chili pepper.
Zhao Chen also heard the people's praise.
"Spread the word!" Li Ruoshuang muttered, with a look of admiration on his face, "Zhao Chen, you are so awesome, you know so much."
Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment by Li Ruoshuang's compliment, and then he smiled with relief.
"Zhao Chen, look, half the street is surrounded by people, and I can smell the aroma."
"Clang-dang-"
Just as Li Ruoshuang finished speaking, she heard a noise in the teahouse.
All the guests who had been drinking tea ran outside.
Even the teahouse owner ran out after him.
Before leaving, he shouted, "Sir, miss, I have two cents for tea. Please excuse me. I'll go ahead."
Let’s take a look. "
A small area on Dongshi Street is crowded with people.
At first glance, there is no place to put your feet.
The government officials in charge of order in Dongshi didn't even know what was happening ahead, so they were pushed far away by the people.
…
"Zhao Chen, I never thought that the method you mentioned would have such a miraculous effect. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe it."
In the afternoon, a few people returned to the tavern, and the villagers also returned to the inn.
As long as there is one more show tomorrow, Chili Pepper's reputation will be completely established.
Cheng Chumo said to Zhao Chen excitedly.
Although Qin Huaiyu didn't speak, his expression looked like Cheng Chumo's.
The two of them never thought that today's effect would be so good.
The scene today really frightened them all.
Those people were really eager to rush forward one by one.
When the stall was finally closed, those people kept asking questions for a long time.
"If you two work harder tomorrow, someone will come to the door soon." Zhao Chen said with a slight smile.
"Hey, brother, can we do it together next year?"
"We will provide the money, we will find the people, and we will split the proceeds 30-70, okay?" Qin Huaiyu asked with a hesitant look on his face.
Cheng Chumo also had a worried look on his face, lowering his head and not daring to look at Zhao Chen.
Their words made it clear that they wanted to take advantage of Zhao Chen.
Even without them, Zhao Chen can still do well.
In fact, there is absolutely no need to share the benefits with them.
"Brother, don't get me wrong. The two of us just feel that if we can have an industry ourselves..."
"No problem, our relationship can't be measured by money. Next year's pepper planting income will be 10% given to the villagers, and the remaining 90% will be shared equally between you and me." Zhao Chen smiled and interrupted Cheng Chumo.
"How is this possible? For the two of us, as long as three achievements are enough, we don't want more."
"Let's go back and get the money right now." Qin Huaiyu waved his hand quickly.
The two of them were very embarrassed that they had taken advantage of Zhao Chen.
How dare you ask for so much.
Before Zhao Chen could say anything, the two of them hurried out of the tavern.
"Zhao Chen, what about me? I also want to join in." Li Ruoshuang was a little unhappy.
Zhao Chen only remembered Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu, but Li Ruoshuang was not in his heart at all.
"You don't have to. From now on, the chili pepper business will be left to you." Zhao Chen said to Li Ruoshuang with a smile.
"Ah——" Li Ruoshuang was shocked, but she was extremely happy in her heart.
He wondered if Zhao Chen was hinting at something by saying this.
Do you want to respond to something?
"Zhao..."
Just when Li Ruoshuang was about to speak, she saw that Zhao Chen's face, which had been full of smiles just now, turned gloomy.
Li Ruoshuang looked forward and saw a carriage approaching on the street in front of her.
It was clearly the one that the emperor often rode in before.
Beside the carriage, the admonishing doctor Wei Zheng followed and walked towards this side.
"Zhao Chen, now that you know His Majesty's identity, you must not do anything stupid." Li Ruoshuang grabbed Zhao Chen's hand and advised him.
Li Ruoshuang was really afraid that Zhao Chen would be impulsive and directly prevent the emperor from coming to power.
If that were the case, wouldn't the emperor be annoyed?
This would be too dangerous for Zhao Chen.
"I'm fine." Zhao Chen patted Li Ruoshuang's hand and said with a smile.
Li Ruoshuang nodded, thinking that Zhao Chen was just like her, standing here waiting.
Who knew, Zhao Chen took a few steps forward and closed the door of the tavern.
This is to keep the emperor out.
Li Ruoshuang felt a little pain in her forehead.
