Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 33

The next morning, before dawn, Qin Tian and Tang Rong woke up.

After getting up, they loaded the car with mosquito coils and toilet water, and the group rushed to Chang'an City.

Chang'an City is not close to Qin's Village, and it takes an hour to get there by horseback. It takes almost two hours to get there by ox cart.

So, when they came to Chang'an City, the sun was already very vicious.

So much so that after entering Chang'an City, there were not many pedestrians on the street.

Fu Bo sat in front of the bullock cart and wiped his sweat. He glanced at Chang'an Street and saw that there were no people gathered in the whole street. Toilet water, why don't we sell it after the sun is not so poisonous?"

Uncle Fu had been to Chang'an City. Although it was only a few years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City was still very prosperous. If it wasn't too hot, there must be so many people here that people would feel a sense of terror.

Qin Tian shook his head: "When the weather is not hot, it will be dusk, but we will sell it at that time, I am afraid that we will not be able to go home today, and take the car to the big inn in Chang'an City."

There are many ways to do business and sell products. Since there is no way to attract customers on the street, we can only do door-to-door sales.

In Qin Tian's opinion, there are many people in the inn, and the food is most likely to attract mosquitoes and flies, so it is perfect to sell there.

After Uncle Fu took the order, he drove the carriage to Zhuque Street. Zhuque Street is very wide and long, but there are few shops on both sides. Most of them are residences of Chang'an dignitaries, and Yi Guogong's Mansion is on this street.

However, they were not in a hurry to go to Duke Yi's mansion, but went to the east and west cities of Zhuque Street.

In the sixth year of Wude, the east and west cities have been quite prosperous, and it is said that there are more than 2 shops in them.

The business in the East Market is relatively high-end, targeting high-ranking officials and dignitaries, while the West Market is rich in commodities, and almost all commodities from all over the world can be bought here.

They went to Dongshi first.

It was almost noon, and although the weather was hot, some inns in Dongshi were doing very well. They quickly found an inn that seemed to be doing well and had a large storefront.

The name of the inn is Sihaiju, it has two floors and covers an area of ​​several mu. There are a lot of guests coming and going in front of the door. A waiter greets them and sees them off, and they are soaked in heat.

Qin Tianxia stepped forward in the car, and the waiter in the shop quickly greeted him: "Who are the guest officers?"

Qin Tian said: "We don't come to eat, we want to talk to your shopkeeper about some business."

Qin Tian's situation was fine, and his expression was calm. Although the waiter in the shop saw that he was young, he didn't dare to be careless. After he went in and reported, he quickly ran out again and said, "Please come in with me, Mr. Xiaolang."

Qin Tian nodded, and went inside. After entering, he saw that there were quite a few diners in the entire inn. Although these diners were sweating profusely from the heat, they were still excited to eat and drink.

However, the mosquitoes and flies flying from time to time made them a little annoyed. They kept using chopsticks to drive those mosquitoes and flies crawling on the vegetables, complaining endlessly.

Seeing this, Qin Tian smiled, knowing that the business would definitely succeed today.

Not long after, Qin Tian came to the counter of the inn. At the counter, a man in his 40s was doing accounts while fanning the wind non-stop, but even so, it was still too hot.

"Shopkeeper Lu, this is the young man who wants to look for you." The waiter retreated after saying a word, then shopkeeper Lu looked up at Qin Tian, ​​and asked, "I wonder what kind of business you want to talk about, young gentleman?"

Shopkeeper Lu's name is Lu Feng, he is an expert in business, he usually greets people with a smile on his face, although Qin Tian is not very old, he has no intention of despising him at all.

Qin Tian said: "Shopkeeper Lu, I sell mosquito coils, and I think your inn definitely needs them."

"Mosquito coils?"

"Yes, after lighting it, there is a faint fragrance, and it can drive away the mosquitoes and flies. There are many diners here, but they are also very tired of these mosquitoes. If you can drive away all the mosquitoes and flies, I want to come to you Business here should be better, right?"

Hearing what Qin Tian said, Lu Feng's expression moved slightly. The most annoying thing for those who run inns in summer is mosquitoes and flies. Too many mosquitoes and flies are unhygienic, and many guests refuse them.

The worst thing is that there are some guests who pretend to eat flies in their meals, so as to renege on their bills and so on.

It can be said that the evil of mosquitoes and flies is second only to the hot weather for their inn.

If it can repel mosquitoes and flies, it is a good thing.

But Lu Feng thought this way in his heart, but he said: "If Mr. Xiao Lang really has this thing, I, Sihaiju, don't mind buying some for use, but I don't know if this mosquito-repellent incense is as you said?"

Qin Tian said: "Whether it can repel mosquitoes and kill flies, we will try it in the inn and then we will know."

After speaking, Qin Tian took out some mosquito coils and asked Lu Feng to order the waiter to light them all on the four corners of the inn.

"Shopkeeper Lu, my mosquito coil is very powerful. If you light it below, the guests above can also smell the incense and kill mosquitoes."

Qin Tian said he was confident, but Lu Feng was not in a hurry to speak, just waiting for the effect.

After lighting a few mosquito coils, the mosquitoes and flies were dead and fled. After a while, there was no mosquito or fly buzzing in the entire inn.

Those guests were eating, first they smelled a fragrance, and then they found that the mosquitoes and flies were gone, they couldn't help being very shocked.

"Shopkeeper Lu, what is this thing that drives out the mosquitoes?" An old diner who often eats at Sihaiju couldn't help asking.

Seeing the miraculous effect of the mosquito coil, Lu Feng was both surprised and happy, and said: "Master Zhang, it is the mosquito coil sold by this little gentleman."

In a word, many diners in the inn looked at Qin Tian.

Here, Qin Tian naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to publicize, and quickly explained the benefits of mosquito coils again. Most of these diners are wealthy people, but they are often troubled by mosquitoes and flies when they sleep at night.

At this time, when I heard that the mosquito coils are so powerful, I wanted to buy them.

Naturally, Lu Feng would not let it go.

"Mr. Qin Xiaolang, this mosquito coil is so easy to use, I wonder if the price is cheap?"

As a businessman, Lu Feng is most concerned about the price.

Qin Tiandao: "A mosquito-repellent incense costs one penny, ten pennies will give you eleven sticks, and if it exceeds one hundred pennies, you can give a few more."

A mosquito-repellent incense costs a penny. After hearing the price of the mosquito-repellent incense, all the people present were taken aback, and immediately surrounded Qin Tian.

"Give me a hundred pennies."

"I want a hundred coins too."

Here, Lu Feng was a little anxious, pushed away from the crowd, and shouted: "Mr. Qin Xiaolang, you want to do business with me. Give me the same money, no, two money."

There is no way, for people like them, a penny for a mosquito coil is really too cheap, easy to use and cheap, don't be a fool.
