Chapter 802: Any kind of money is made by someone(2/3)
But when you spend money to buy similar things again, you will find that it is completely different.
This "childhood taste" only exists in special situations.
"Well, what you said, shopkeeper, makes sense. Last night I saw that there was only some candlelight on the second floor of the sales office in Guiyifang. I guess everyone in Guiyifang was hiding there from the rain. Except for the sales office
Many of the guys here, whether they are looking at the buildings or just joining in the fun, are rich people. Nowadays, people are hungry, so even if our price doubles, these buns can be sold quickly."
"Double?" Wu Ming looked at his waiter in surprise.
"ah?"
The waiter thought he had said something wrong and said, "Shopkeeper, I am too worried. You have always been honest and fair in doing business. You are definitely not willing to sell the buns at a sky-high price under such circumstances.
I reflect on myself and it’s my fault!”
"No, I mean just doubling it is not enough? These buns usually only cost two for a penny. Even if they are doubled, they cost a penny each. Do you think at this time, our buns are worth a penny?
Money for one?"
Wu Ming's look as if he was looking at a fool made the waiter feel very uncomfortable.
However, the situation was stronger than the person, so he did not dare to say anything.
"One silver coin, buy one and get one free!"
"ah?"
The guy was stunned again!
Did you hear it correctly?
One silver coin?
This is also...
"Shopkeeper, you are so wise! Those people in the Guiyifang sales office are all well-paid. Yesterday I saw many luxurious four-wheeled carriages going to the Guiyifang sales office. I'm sure
There are many rich people trapped there. Even ordinary house watchers must have some money on them. This water will definitely start to dissipate before long. If we don't take advantage of this morning to
If you make a fortune, you probably won’t have a chance.”
The waiter will not be the elite of Maxim's Bun Shop.
Although I was stunned for a moment at first, I quickly came to my senses.
"As soon as the big wooden bucket for water storage is freed, we will use the big spatula as a paddle and the wooden bucket as a boat. You and I will go to the Guiyifang sales office. Today, don't we use it well?
The little money these rich people have collected from them will be wasted. We started preparing buns so early."
When Wu Ming was young, he once suffered from hunger.
He knew very well that when people are hungry, their resistance to the temptation of food is almost zero.
If there is not enough food in the Guiyifang sales office, selling your own buns for one silver coin will definitely not fail to sell them.
Anyway, he only has one cage of steamed buns.
"Yes, we are scared, so we have to prepare steamed buns for them, so we should earn some money. But, wouldn't it be too expensive for one silver coin each?"
The waiter thought that his monthly salary was less than one silver coin, and now one bun was sold for one silver coin.
Even though it’s buy one get one free, it’s still a sky-high price.
Is a month's worth of love worth a bun?
It’s so sad just thinking about it.
"Is it too expensive? They don't have to buy it! Anyway, there are only so many buns. If you are fast, you can have it, but if you are slow, you can buy it or not!"
After Wu Ming finished speaking, he went to prepare barrels and other things to make a quick buck.
At the same time, on the second floor of Guiyifang, Changsun Chong looked at the water that had just reached the roof of the first floor, with an expression on his face as if his biological father had died.
With this look, even if the rain outside stopped immediately, they would not be able to leave here this morning.
However, I didn't eat much last night, and now that I have nothing to eat, I feel a little weak.
The worry is that there is no need to worry that the accumulated water will continue to increase, and life safety is guaranteed.
But the thought of continuing to starve...
Since childhood, when has he ever suffered like this?
"Gulu!"
"Gulu!"
Changsun Chong, Du He, and Wei Siren's stomachs rang out with protests one after another.
People rely on food, and iron relies on steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will be hungry.
Strictly speaking, a few of them just had a full meal yesterday morning.
Then yesterday I ate some snacks and fruits from the sales office at noon, and some fruits at night, but there was nothing else to eat.
Even clean water has become a luxury item by night.
"Brother Wei, do you think the imperial court will send someone to Guiyifang to rescue us?"
At this time, Changsun Chong could only hope that someone would come to save him.
"Guiyifang is definitely not the only place flooded in Chang'an City. Instead of waiting for the imperial court to rescue us, it is better to wait for people from our families to come and save us."
What Wei Siren said is very true.
Whether it was the Changsun family, the Wei family, or the Du family, knowing that they did not go home last night, they must have guessed that they were trapped in Guiyifang.
Therefore, once the conditions are met, people will be sent to rescue everyone.
"It would be great if there was a small boat. We could leave Guiyifang and go to a place where the water is not serious and wait for the water to subside!"
In Changsun Chong's view, Du He's words were as if he had not said them and had no meaning.
If there really were boats, they would have used them long ago.
"Huh? Brother Du, the boat you wanted seems to have arrived!"
Before Changsun could attack Du He, Wei Siren looked through the window and saw someone paddling a small boat not far away approaching the sales office.
Well, strictly speaking, it's not a boat.
"Someone is really coming! The people around here are really enthusiastic about the ancient roads. They continue to row wooden barrels to rescue us in such deep water. I will write an article myself and publish it in the "Chang'an Evening News". Good luck
Let’s praise their noble spirit.”
Du He finally had a smile on his face.
At this time, other people also noticed the situation outside and moved closer to the windows.
"Here! We are here!"
"Come and save us!"
"Paddle faster, we'll be there soon!"
Everyone shouted excitedly.
Although it is only a "small boat", for those trapped in the sales office, this is hope.
People like myself are finally no longer forgotten existences.
"It seems that we have really chosen the right place to renovate Guiyifang. The people around it are so simple and honest, which makes me deeply moved."
Wei Siren couldn't help but touch his belly, feeling that his hunger was getting stronger.
"It would be nice if someone came, but unfortunately what comes is only a wooden barrel. Even if it can carry people, it can only transport one more person away, which won't solve the problem."
Changsun Chong's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone's heads.
"Brother Zhangsun, it doesn't matter if he can't carry people. As long as he helps bring some food, it will be fine. Guiyifang is not an isolated island. Wait until tomorrow at most, and the water will definitely drop to the point where you can walk. Then there is no need to worry.
We won't be able to get out, or there will be no one else to save us."
As Chang Sun Chong's former younger brother, Du He is no longer the kind of person who has no independent opinions and follows Chang Sun Chong like a follower.
"Look, the man in the barrel is really holding a basket of food!"
Wei Siren's words completely interrupted the conversation between Changsun Chong and Du He. They both leaned on the window and stuck their heads out of the window, trying to see the scene in the barrel clearly.
"It's true! Baozi, it's Baozi! I've already asked about its fragrance."
"It looks like steamed buns. It's so good. It's like rain comes after a long drought. It's like meeting an old friend in a foreign country. It's exciting."
Even though they were used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, at this moment, Changsun Chong and Du He felt that the steamed buns in front of them were the most delicious.
"I remembered that there is a shop called Maxim's Baozi at the entrance of Tongguifang. It seems to be quite famous in the neighborhood. These two people also came from that direction. It seems that they are the people of Maxim's Baozi."
As the barrel that Wu Ming and his assistant were riding in got closer and closer to the Guiyifang sales office, there was a commotion in the sales office.
Changsun said to them, at least they had eaten something at noon and evening yesterday.
Some people only drank a few sips of water from noon yesterday.
At this time, food appeared, and steamed buns seemed to be very delicious. Can everyone not be excited?
