Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    You must know that in this day and age, due to low productivity, sugar is definitely a luxury product.

    Although the black frosting looks very disgusting now, the price of frosting can definitely make ordinary people prohibitive.

    Ordinary people, maybe only during the New Year holidays throughout the year, will they be willing to buy the cheapest frosting and go back to give it to their children to try.

    Most of the time, if you want to eat sweets, you can only rely on the wild fruits in the mountains.

    However, what Wang Fuqing never expected was that this kind of pig food, which he didn't like at all, would be extraordinarily sweet!

    The first time he tasted this taste, he realized that he was wrong, not only wrong, but also very wrong.

    "It's impossiblehow can the price of this thing be so cheap!"

    Wang Fuqing's whole body began to tremble violently.

    "Did you make a mistake about this kind of thing? How can it be worth ten cents and one stone?"

    Wang Fuqing tasted the sweet potato again with trembling hands, then suddenly grabbed the little eunuch by the collar and asked fiercely.

    "Daddy, I got this thing from the city gate, and it didn't cost a penny! And it's not just this method, there is also something called vermicelli, which looks similar to noodles. It is said that it is also made from this thing.  ¡­¡±

    Of course the little eunuch knew what was going to happen next, and they hoarded a lot of food.

    ¡° Moreover, all of them were purchased at high prices. If the current situation continues, there is a high probability that all this food will fall into their own hands.

    "This is impossible! This is impossible! What the hell is this thing? Why is this thing sold so cheaply? This must be Liu Deng's plan. He must not have much in his hands, he must not have much!"

    Wang Fuqing was breathing heavily, and when he spoke, it seemed more like he was cheering himself up.

    "Godfather, you, you, you have to take care of yourself!"

    Looking at Wang Fuqing's trembling body, a young eunuch who was kneeling on the ground quickly got up and carefully tried to help him.

    However, before his hand touched Wang Fuqing's body, he was kicked to the ground by Wang Fuqing.

    "Get out of here now and buy me as much as he has! I want to buy out his Jinyang City! I want to expose his scam!"

    At this moment, he is like a gambler who has lost his sight. Now he just wants to give it a try regardless of the cost.

    The little eunuchs around him were all looking at each other in confusion at this moment.

    They do still have a lot of money in their hands, but this money has already been inspected and loaded into vehicles, ready to be transported back to Chang'an.

    At this time, if they continue to make such large purchases, it seems likely that they will lose everything based on the current situation.

    What if they turned all the hard-earned copper coins into a pile of useless sweet potatoes.

    God knows how the nobleman in the palace will treat them

    "What are you still doing? Go quickly, go quickly!"

    Wang Fuqing's angry roar resounded throughout the hall. Several young eunuchs below looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to retreat first.

    The streets of Jinyang suddenly became crowded.

    ??The people who were originally dismissive suddenly began to panic buying on a large scale.

    After trying it, people discovered the benefits of sweet potatoes. There is no need for any seasoning or spices at all.

    With just a ladle of water, it will be so sweet and soft when cooked. An adult will be full after eating two or three large pieces at most. And more importantly, the price is so low that it is unbelievable.

    Ten cents a stone, this kind of food had never been seen before, they had never even heard of it.

    Many people are speculating whether this is a benefit given to them by the king, and whether it will be gone if it is too late.

    Basically, whether they are old or young, as long as they can still move, they have already started queuing up around all the sales points.

    The popularity of this scene far exceeded Chen Qi¡¯s initial expectations. To say that the crowd was empty is not enough to describe the grand occasion of that day.

    "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

    Liu Deng had just had lunch and was about to go out for a walk with Ye Yijian when Chen Qi rushed over in a hurry.

    "Why are you looking like this? Have you had lunch?"

    Chen QiAt that time, he paid the most attention to his manners. He was a traditional scholar-bureaucrat, and his clothes were basically very neat at all times.

    But now Chen Qi is covered in dust, and he doesn¡¯t know what he did there.

    "My king, you don't know, the people are starting to rush to buy! They finally discovered the benefits of sweet potatoes! You didn't see that scene, hahahaha!"

    Chen Qi was smiling and talking incoherently, trying to describe the scene on the street to Liu Deng.

    Looking at his crazy look, Liu Deng couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile.

    Compared with Liu Deng, Chen Qi is a truly qualified official.

    "You came all the way here just to tell me this?"

    Although Liu Deng admired Chen Qi very much, looking at Chen Qi's current state, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

    "No, oh, by the way, because there are too many people rushing to buy, basically everyone is sending out their whole family, so I would like to ask the king to transfer some soldiers from the military camp to the city to maintain order!"

    After being teased by Liu Deng, Chen Qi finally remembered what he was here for.

    "This is no problem, but you should make it clear to the people that we have plenty of this stuff, so there is really no need to grab it like this. You can eat what you have bought without fear. After these two days, other times  They can always buy it at this price too!¡±

    Liu Deng sighed. At this time, Chen Qi had no sense at all. All his IQ was taken away by the joy of the people.

    "The king said yes, I will do it right away!"

    After Chen Qi finished speaking, he ran away without looking back. He even forgot to salute Liu Deng.

    This really made Liu Deng very speechless. Isn¡¯t this guy just a few sweet potatoes? How could he be so happy?

    "Shunzi, send a few people to follow Mr. Chen and be sure to protect his safety. Send another person to the military camp outside the city to tell General Su. The other five thousand soldiers will be sent into the city to assist the officers and soldiers in the city to maintain order. If anyone dares  Anyone who takes the opportunity to cause chaos will be dealt with severely!"

    Watching Chen Qi's retreating figure, Liu Deng quickly ordered Shunzi to dispatch a few of his guards to follow him.

    If there is a stampede, at the very least we have to ensure that Chen Qi is not trampled to death.
