The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 28 Chang'an City sells ice cream
"Brother Fang Zi, do you think our ice cream can be sold?

This stick is only five cents, and a pound of rice is only five cents. Who would be willing to buy it? "

On the carriage going to Chang'an City to sell ice cream, a young man from Huatian Village looked at Liu Fangzi and raised his doubts.

"Er Zi. So, we have to be particular about where we go to sell. We can't sell in places like Qinglongfang where most of the people are. We have to go to places where there are many rich people, such as the West Market, the East Market, or They are Pingkangfang, Wubenfang, Taipingfang.

For us, five cents can buy a pound of rice, but for those rich people, five cents really means nothing. I believe that our ice cream will be in short supply. "

"Fang Zi is right, this ice cream will definitely sell well!" Liu Yi nodded affirmatively.

Just like this, around noon, the nine ice cream sellers in Huatian Village each walked into a rich man's shop. Liu Fangzi went to Pingkang Shop.
Pingkangfang. The most beautiful lane in the Tang Dynasty, Pingkangfang is located on the southeast side of the imperial city. It was a gathering place for students of the Tang Dynasty and those who came to Beijing. It was also a famous gathering place for brothels.

The flower girls in Pingkangfang were all as beautiful as flowers and could charm the country. They all received professional training and were proficient in music, poetry, calligraphy, painting, playing, singing and dancing. They were very popular among the literati and dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty.

Here you can drink and sing with the flower girl, and you can also rent a flower girl to accompany you.

The children of all major aristocratic families, the powerful, the wealthy businessmen and even the royal family are all frequent visitors to Pingkangfang.

Of course, if you can visit Pingkangfang at night, it will be even more special. Not only are the lights brightly lit, there are also water boats and flying fish in the brothel, which is so gorgeous.

"Selling ice cream, selling ice cream. Honey sorbet for five cents a piece will make you feel a little cool after eating it. Come on, come on. Honey sorbet for five cents a piece...!" Liu Fangzi carried a wooden box on his back. , shouting while walking on the streets of Pingkangfang, very hard.

At this time, Liu Fangzi's location was around Nanqu, because there were many rich people here.

This Pingkangfang is divided into three songs, Nanqu, Zhongqu and Beiqu. Nanqu is a bit more high-end. Basically, you can only take a look at the flower girl in it. If you want to take further action, you must get it. If you can't get the flower girl's heart, no matter how much money you spend, it will be useless.

The quality of the flower girls in Zhongqu is a little bit worse. There is no need for the flower girl to fancy you here. You only need to have money, but you need a lot of money. Generally, if you don't have a hundred dollars for a night, you can't even think about it.

The last one is Beiqu. This is the lower-class existence. After two passes, you can go to Yunyu with Hua Niang. After five or six passes, you can stay overnight. Of course, the lowest Beiqu is also much more expensive than some other places. , Pingkangfang is the largest nightclub in Datang.

Soon, Liu Fangzi's shout attracted the attention of a group of aristocratic children who were drinking in the flower house.

"Hey, you carrying the box, what are you selling, and you are wrapping it in such a big straw mat?" A fat young aristocratic man stretched his head out from the corridor on the second floor of the flower building and looked at Liu Fangzi below. asked.

"Lang Jun. What I sell is honey sorbet. It's sweet and ice-cold. It's very refreshing. The weather is really hot and unbearable. Do you want a piece? If you don't think it's cool or sweet, I won't give you any money." Liu Fangzi is quite smooth-talking. These words were taught by Li An in advance. Even if he doesn't know how to speak them, it won't be a big problem if he just memorizes them!

"You're quite good at talking, so I'll give it a try. You bring me five pieces of sorbet. I want to see what the sorbet is..." The aristocratic young man above laughed.

"Okay...!" Liu Fangzi opened the door as soon as he saw this. He was so happy that he didn't say anything. He took out five ice creams from the wooden box and immediately trotted upstairs.

When these young nobles and the ladies who were drinking with them saw that the so-called sorbet was actually ice, everyone was surprised!
The aristocratic young man who bought the ice cream laughed and asked in horror: "Hey, it's actually ice cubes. Whose business are you selling ice cubes?"

To be honest, selling ice is a bit unbelievable, because there are a lot of ice cubes in Chang'an City, and they can't squeeze out even a little bit. Even if they want ice cubes, they can't get them.

Liu Fangzi can actually sell ice, which is quite shocking.

"Haha...!" Liu Fangzi said with a smile: "We don't know whose business it is, we are just coolies, selling with boxes on our backs, and going back to pay after the sales are completed."

The aristocratic young man knew that the other party would not tell, so he did not ask any more questions. After all, if he could sell ice, that was not something he could afford. He was self-aware.Then, the first person who shouted that he wanted to eat crab was the first to put the ice cream into his mouth, licked it, and then took another 'click' bite.

"Oh hehe hehe, it's so cold, so sweet, not bad, not bad." The aristocratic young man praised repeatedly: "It's really sweet to the heart, ice-cold, cool and refreshing..."

After the aristocratic young man finished praising the ice cream, other aristocratic young people also started to eat. They also expressed great appreciation for the ice cream in Huatian Village. Then, the aristocratic young man directly gave Liu Fangzi fifty cents.

"I'll reward you with the extra money!" The noble young man smiled slightly.

Liu Fangzi was overjoyed and saluted quickly: "Thank you sir for your patronage. I will definitely come again next time."

"Okay." The noble young man nodded slightly.

Just when Liu Fangzi was about to go downstairs, other guests in the flower building were very interested after seeing that sorbet was made of ice. It would be a great experience to have a piece of ice to cool off in the dog days of summer. , a piece of ice cream is only five cents.

So the guests immediately shouted: "Give me a piece of ice cream, too."

"And I want a piece too."

"I want it too." A flower girl said coquettishly to a fat foreign minister.

"Okay, hey, my Xiaocui can buy sorbet for whatever she wants. Give me two pieces."

Liu Fangzi never expected that he would receive more than 30 ice cream buyers just upstairs. After going downstairs, it would open again downstairs. Liu Fangzi sold it directly around this flower building. 60 yuan of ice cream, three hundred pennies came so easily, and there was also a reward from someone in it, and now there were five hundred pennies in my cash box.

Just when Liu Fangzi had just walked out of this flower house and was about to go to the next place to sell, another buyer came in front of him for no reason. This buyer leaned in a luxurious carriage, and two flower girls Feeding cherries into his mouth.

Not everyone can eat cherries if they want in Chang'an City.

"Is it ice?" the buyer asked, looking at Liu Fangzi lazily.

Liu Fangzi nodded: "Yes, Sir."

"Okay, I'll take both, and give me the box as well." The man said without any doubt.

Just when Liu Fangzi wanted to say no, the other party directly threw a lot of money down.

Without saying a word, Liu Fangzi handed over the remaining 40 yuan of ice cream including the box, straw mat, and straw quilt with both hands.

After getting the ice cream, the man immediately took a piece. After eating, the man was very satisfied and laughed: "Not bad, delicious!"

Follow the carriage and leave quickly.

Watching the carriage leave, Liu Fangzi was secretly happy. It took Liu Fangzi less than half an hour from entering Pingkangfang to exiting.I sold out all the ice cream and got a total of [-] coins. Haha, today is really a good day.
