In Changlefang, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is being staged in the small theater. The guests in the box are breathtakingly watching the decisive battle between good and evil on the screen. The rumored Xiyang shadow puppetry is indeed wonderful, which makes these merchants who claim to have seen big scenes watch it in a daze.

Antulo is an exception. Although he was shocked by the vocal music of shadow puppets, he was more interested in the snacks in his hands, the so-called "popcorn", which he could not imagine how it was made.

The instinct of doing business has penetrated into the blood of all Sogdians. Antulo was thinking about the profit points of Changlefang based on instinct, which may be something many people ignore.

Where can I find popcorn? Antulo couldn't imagine that Sogdian caravans who traveled thousands of miles would share strange stories from all over the world. But Antulo had never heard of "popcorn" or similar foods in the world.

There are many types of snacks, including pretzels, salt shrimps, salt pork ribs, salt pork ribs, salt pork ribs, salt pork ribs, salt pork ribs, salt pork ribs, salt lotus root strips and other snacks. These things have one thing in common, that is, they all have the word "salt", and Antulu is thinking about what "salt" is "salt"?

These snacks taste good. When you watch the wonderful shadow puppetry, you can't stop eating them one by one. Antulu can taste the taste of pepper from these foods, so he thinks that the meaning of pepper and salt is probably pepper and salt.

Is it just to mix pepper and salt to cook food? Unlike Antulu, the pepper in this "pepper and salt" tastes more fragrant.

So this must be processed in advance. Could it be that the cooking technique of "frying" is used?

"Shopkeeper An, is it because pretzels are not suitable for their appetite?"

Seeing Wang Yue ask, Antulu asks directly: "Shopkeeper Wang, what is this salt and salt?"

"Work with pepper and salt together, that's salt, but this is skillful. If you don't master the heat well or fry well, you will backfire."

Antulu looked "as expected" and looked around. Now that the snacks on the table of his colleagues had already eaten up most of the snacks. After calculating for a moment, he came up with an amazing price:

After watching a scene, the consumption of this private room is probably less than 30 cents.

Wang Yue was the one who treated me today, so Antulu didn't know what the relevant fees were, but he could roughly estimate a price range, and watching a play for at least thirty cents is not something that ordinary people can afford.

There are ten people here, and the average consumption per capita is three jin. However, the powerful and wealthy people in Yecheng are more luxurious in their diet, and the cost of each meal can reach more than a few jin. The eclipse of tens of thousands of yuan (ten dozens of jin) is common.

Therefore, Changlefang’s target customers are rich people, and among their profits, the income from play tickets is probably second, and the first one is the snacks consumed by spectators.

The snacks are delicious, crispy, but very salty and dry, so if you eat too much, you have to drink water to quench your thirst. The guests keep drinking lemonade, mint water or tea. The first cup of tea is free, but the sales of lemonade and mint water are also good.

They try different ways to make people spend money and make money without realizing it. Those who can come up with this method are really qualified profiteering!

Thinking of this, someone suddenly appeared in Antulu's mind. When he came, he had heard someone mention it. Chang Lefang was said to be related to this person, no wonder...

Seeing that everyone's lemonade was almost the same, Wang Yue patted his hands gently and waited for the guests to look at him. He smiled slightly: "Everyone, what is presented now is a specialty drink for Huangzhou. Wang can guarantee that you have never drunk it anywhere else."

The guests here were stunned when they heard this, and then they all had doubts. They were all rich merchants or representatives from Yecheng. They had never seen any big scenes, and had never tasted any delicious, fun and delicious food. Although shadow puppetry is indeed a great example, would Wang Yue be too arrogant to say this?

"Since Manager Wang said that, then we have to wait and see."

Several maids walked into the private room with trays. The water-drop-shaped glass bottle on the tray attracted the attention of guests. With the faint light in the room, you can see liquid in the glass bottle.

There was a glass bottle on each guest's desk, and the mouth of the bottle was stuffed with a wooden plug. The maid used a special spiral long cone to pierce the plug, and then moved the crossbar at the end of the long cone to pull out the plug.

The moment the plug loosened, a "bang" sounded, as if gas was rushing out of the bottle. The sound was not loud and did not scare the guests. But everyone was attracted by this sound: What kind of liquid is in the bottle? There is such a sound?

Some people noticed that there were water droplets hanging on the outer wall of the glass bottle, which meant that the glass bottle had been frozen. This method was not unusual. As long as there was an ice cellar, it could do this in a hot day.

"Everyone, this item is called soda, which is a specialty of Huangzhou. Please try it as much as you like." Wang Yue gave a brief introduction and signaled the maids to fill the soda for the guests.

‘Huangzhou specialty? Could it be that King Xiyang is pretending to be mysterious again?’

Antulo complained in his heart, and picked up the cup with suspicion. The moment his lips touched the soda in the cup, he felt unusual: there seemed to be bubbles in the water, which broke open after touching the lips, so it made people feel slightly numb.

The soda is cold and slightly sweet, and seems a little "spicy". Then it goes down your throat and there is nothing special afterwards.

After drinking a few drinks in a row, Antulo didn't think there was any characteristic of this "soda". If it was just the strange feeling brought by the bubbles, it would probably be no gimmick when the freshness was over.

Looking around, the guests in Antulu are all weird in their faces. Everyone is tacitly aware of it. They all think that this "qi water" has no characteristics except bubbles. Even people who have never drunk it may not be interested in drinking it.

Although the effect of soda is not very good, everyone is considering the words and does not want to ruin Wang Yue's excitement. After all, the other party is so serious about treating customers with soda, and it is always inappropriate for them not to say anything good.

But this drink is really not outstanding, and it is not easy to praise it too much, so as not to be ridiculous by others for being ridiculed by others for being unsightly.

Antulo was also worried, but he soon began to worry about another thing: his stomach began to bloat, just like his stomach bloating when he was having a stomachache.

Just as he was worried about whether he had a bad stomach, Antulu suddenly felt a breath in his abdomen rushing up. Seeing that he was about to burp, he quickly covered his mouth with his hands, trying to keep the sound as low as possible to avoid being rude. As a result, the breath was too strong and he could not suppress it at all.

"belch!"

As the hiccup came out, Antulu felt the heat in his body suddenly dissipated, and it became much cooler in an instant. At the same time, the hiccups sounded one after another, and everyone looked at me and I was embarrassed.

"Hahaha, it was Wang who was negligent. The soda should not drink too quickly. If each cup was slowed down, the hiccups would not be so loud, and the effect of cooling down was still very good."

Wang Yue smoothed out the situation. After all, it was a bit rude to hiccup in public, but this was the effect he wanted.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I wonder how many flavors this soda have?" Antulu took the lead in coming to his senses and began to get to the topic. He saw the profit prospects of this beverage in an instant.

"Yes, yes, yes, shopkeeper Wang, how many flavors does this soda have?"

Others also came to their senses. Everyone is knowledgeable businessmen, with very flexible heads. This magical soda is indeed special. Although hiccups are a bit indecent after drinking them, since they can be avoided by drinking them slowly, it is much easier to promote them.

"Qi Water", as the name suggests, there is qi in water. So what if the rich people drink and drink and burp at home? Relieving heat is what these people need the most!

After burping, the heat on your body will also go away, and you will feel comfortable all over. This feeling in hot weather can make people pay without hesitation, let alone those rich men who are fighting for wealth and playing together!

"Don't worry, everyone has several flavors of soda, so everyone can taste it later."

Wang Yue was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and performance, which was as expected by him. The soda made by his boss, Wang Yuwen Wen of Xiyang, "accidentally" was indeed rare in the world.

Rare things are expensive, and rich people like this "rare" tone. Although the pricing principle of soda determines that the selling price will not be ridiculously high, the production cost is really low, so the profit is quite amazing.

It can be foreseen that the "money prospect" of soda is endless. Yuwen Wen took a different approach to make a drink into a profitable product, which made Wang Yue admire him. In order to maximize his interests, soda is the first bidding item of this "tendering conference".
