Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 249 Selling Popsicles!Ask for a monthly pass

Chang'an looked back and embroidered piles, and thousands of doors opened on the top of the mountain.

After riding the red dust princess smiled, no one knew it was Litchi.

Li Shimin is not Tang Gaozong, so he can't be as extravagant and extravagant as Gaozong, but as an emperor, there are naturally many things he should enjoy.

As the successor of the Great Sui Dynasty, the Li Dynasty naturally enjoyed everything that the previous dynasty had, and the ice cellar specially built for the royal family to cool off was one of them.

Of course, the ownership of the ice cellar belongs to the royal family. In fact, some dignitaries and ministers in the court can also enjoy such benefits at certain times. This is the so-called reward!

If you want to have ice available in summer, you must first store clean water in the cold winter, and then put it in square containers to make it freeze.After freezing, it is necessary to take out the ice bricks inside again and stack them one by one to prevent the ice from turning into water due to high temperature.
In short, if you want to enjoy the coldness of winter in the scorching summer, the manpower, material resources, and financial resources required are definitely not a small number!

Hearing Tang Peng asked about the ice cellar in the palace, Li Jing immediately had a bad feeling, but he still answered: "Of course I know, it is said that this ice cellar has existed since the time of Emperor Qin, and it has been used in successive dynasties until now. !"

"Hey! Since Uncle Li knows, my nephew has saved a lot of explaining! Let's not say anything else, let's just say that last year, in June last year, my nephew was lucky to be a guest at Dou's house with my father, and I ate my father's light A piece of chilled watermelon, that feeling. Hehe!

Therefore, the little nephew thought about building such a house in his own home, not asking for big ones, as long as it can meet the needs of the mansion, but until he asked the steward of the third room of the Dou family, he immediately dismissed this idea! "

Li Jing didn't answer, but Niu Jinda was a little puzzled, and asked: "Although your Tang family's background is quite different from that of the Dou family, it is also a family of meritorious service. Besides, your family also operates a leather goods business. Could it be possible to dig a small one?" Is the ice cellar still unbearable?"

In Niu Jinda's view, the ice cellar in the palace naturally needs a certain amount of funds to maintain it. After all, it needs to supply the entire palace, and sometimes Li Er needs to transfer some of it to the ministers to cool off the heat, so it is bigger.

But for ordinary people, it is perfectly possible to build a small ice cellar. It is nothing more than digging a hole in the ground and diverting water to freeze it. It is not a big deal.

"Uncle Niu, my nephew also thought so at the beginning!" Tang Peng smiled coyly, and said, "So, I even asked someone to dig a cellar in the yard! It happened last year. It was done in the same way. A lot of ice cubes were stored in it, but then guess what?"

"Melt?" Niu Jinda asked.

"Who says it's not!" Tang Peng said: "After I went to Dou's house to inquire, I found out that the ice cellar must be large enough, and it must be deep and far away from the ground. Only in this way can it be separated from the ground temperature , to keep the ice below from melting.

Let me tell you, the ice cellar in Dou’s house is said to have several rooms as big as it is full of ice cubes, but in the second year there were only less than three floors that could be used, and the rest turned into water! "

"This is the reversal of yin and yang! Save the ice and snow in winter for summer to enjoy, and it's good to have three remaining!" Niu Jinda was deeply moved. He also knew about the ice cellar at Dou's house in Chang'an, and now he listened to Tang Peng's explanation. Only then did I realize that there are so many doorways here.

"So, this thing is rare and expensive! A piece of ice in winter is just a piece of ice, it's all over the street, it's worthless! But in summer, it's hard to get it unless you go to Daxueshan. !" Seeing that Niu Jinda agreed with his point of view, Tang Peng continued: "Let's take the frozen watermelon from Dou's family as an example. An eight-jin watermelon costs about three pennies in Xishi, but you take it Can three pennies eat Dou's iced watermelon?

Even if it is five hundred articles, it is estimated that people will not even show you a glance!So, the ice in this summer is precious!Just like the grape wine we just drank, if it is sold in Chang'an, I guess it will cost ten pennies, and no one will even show it to you! "

"Ten coins?" Niu Jinda was surprised.

Not only him, but even Zhang Yi and Li Jing next to him were speechless for a while.

Ten pennies is equivalent to the price of a head of healthy cattle. It's just one small pot, so isn't it just two pots of wine that have been eaten by two cows?
Although he had known for a long time that the price of chilled grape wine was estimated to be not low, Zhang Yi never thought that the price could be so high.

You know, although Tang Peng likes to play a little bit, he doesn't dare to talk nonsense in front of Li Jing and Niu Jinda.It can be seen that, in fact, high-end luxury goods like this actually have a great market in Datang!

Of course, Zhang Yi was thinking about how to open up the high-end market, but Li Jing was secretly complaining at this time.

The price of a pot of ordinary grape wine is usually between a few renminbi and a few hundred renminbi, but just chilling it like this, the price has multiplied many times. How can he exchange such a large profit with Zhang Yi?
I thought in my heart that I could solve the problem of the army marching with a few tens of dollars, but now it seems that there is no possibility at all!
It's just that, in front of Niu Jinda, the words he yelled just now made him feel like he couldn't get down.

As a businessman, Zhang Yi has always been very good at mining the market from life.

Now that he is in the army, it is obvious that the piece of fat in Chang'an cannot be eaten, but should he just give up like this?Absolutely not!
Seeing Li Jing with an ugly face and slightly moving lips, Zhang Yi thought for a while, then smiled and cupped his hands towards Li Jing, "The general manager thinks about the whole army, which is really admirable to the lower officials, but this method of making ice in summer I really can't give it to you, boy, but in fact, apart from the matter of you asking for a solution, we can actually have other ways to cooperate!"

As he said that, Zhang Yi took out a piece of ice from the small copper basin, and said to several people: "The chief executive, General Niu, and Tang Sijie, I don't know if a piece of ice of this size is paid to the brothers in the army , a piece only costs two pennies, do you think this price is fair?"

"Two pennies?"

Li Jing's face was full of surprise. He thought that Zhang Yi would open his mouth like a lion, but he never expected that Zhang Yi would offer some kind of paid supply of ice at the price of two cents for a piece of ice.

Niu Jinda was also shocked. Compared with ten guanqian, it is nothing at all!

Only Tang Peng was speechless, two pennies, what the hell is the price of cabbage at all, not even the price of cabbage!
