Datang: The Craziest Scholar System

Chapter 43 The silent bet

Cheng Chumo gave Changsun Chong a hard look and became even angrier.

"Huaiyu, can't we lower the price?"

"How much?"

"It's as low as the common people can afford." Cheng Chumo said.

Qin Huaiyu shook his head, "Are you willing to sell such a good wine for ten cents a catty?"

"that……"

Cheng Chumo hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How much is the usual money?"

As the son of the Duke, he really never spent such a small amount of money as "Wen".

Qin Huaiyu: "...One thousand Wen."

"What? Absolutely impossible! Isn't that a waste of wine?"

Cheng Chumo's head shook like a rattle.

"Oh, I said it a long time ago, some people only know how to drink, and want to sell alcohol?"

The eldest Sun Chong on the opposite side was extremely proud, "It's just a dream!"

Having been teased by Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu before, now he feels that he has let out a bad breath, and his heart is extremely happy.

Cheng Chumo gritted his teeth, "You wait for me! This is just the first day, and my business will definitely improve in the next few days!"

"I am waiting."

Chang Sun Chong said cheerfully.

The performance was dismal on the first day of opening, how can it be better in the future?

Just as Chang Sun Chong was about to continue mocking Cheng Chumo, a large number of guards from his family hurried over.

Behind the guards are carriages, which seem to be transporting some goods.

"Master, these are the first batch of watering cans that the Ministry of Industry rushed to make overnight!"

As the guard said, he handed the imperial decree to Chang Sun Chong.

Changsun Chong took the imperial decree and read it carefully, and his heart was agitated.

He thought that the Ministry of Industry's promotion of Quyuanli was fast enough, but he didn't expect another watering can to come.

Promote the watering can nationwide for one month... Changsun Chong was amazed.

This also means that he must sell a large number of watering cans within a month.

But he wasn't too worried, there was a precedent for Quyuanli's big sale, he just had to sit here and wait for customers to come to his door.

"Oh, I see."

Chang Sun Chong put away the imperial decree and said calmly, "Bring in all the watering cans."

At this time, Changsun Chong found that Cheng Chumo and the two were looking at them curiously.

Look at the opposite side, only five jars of wine can't be sold.

Look at yourself again, new inventions have come!
Comparing the two sides, you can see who is superior!
A sense of pride welled up, and Chang Sun Chong couldn't help showing off: "Brother Huaiyu, Brother Chumo, did you see it? My new invention is here!"

"What new invention?"

Cheng Chu asked silently.

Picking up a watering can casually, Chang Sun Chong laughed and said: "See, this is called a watering can, it can fight severe drought, it is my new invention!"

While speaking, he also emphasized the words "my new invention", which is full of flaunting.

"Is this really your invention?" Qin Huaiyu asked suspiciously.

"Nonsense, this young master invented it!"

"When did you invent it?"

"My young master had a flash of inspiration last night, and he invented it overnight!"

Chang Sun Chong said without shame.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu looked at each other, and their expressions became more and more strange.

You must know that they saw this thing in Su Yun's yard a few days ago.

Moreover, it is swaying here and there, placed very casually, as if it is something sparse and ordinary.

And Chang Sun Chong said that he invented it last night...

Cheng Chumo said bluntly, "I think you are plagiarizing other people's inventions."

"You are spitting blood! This is absolutely true, it is my eldest Sun Chong's invention!"

The eldest grandson was furious, and waved the imperial decree in his hand: "Did you see, His Majesty personally issued an decree to reward me!"

Qin Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, "Show us the imperial decree?"

"The imperial decree given to me, is it something you fools can read?"

Changsun Chong refused, and continued to mock, "Just look at it, my watering can will sell well! Unlike Cheng Dawan, who only knows how to spend money, he can't even sell five jars of wine."

"It's enough!"

Cheng Chumo couldn't bear it anymore.

"Yo Yo Yo, are you angry from embarrassment?"

Chang Sun Chong didn't think it was a big deal, and continued to taunt.

"Do you dare to bet that I can sell these five jars of wine?!"

Cheng Chu said silently.

It's just too deceiving.

"Just bet! I can still be afraid of you?"

Changsun Chong confronted him tit for tat, "But there are too few five altars, so we can't bet like this."

"Then how do you bet!"

Cheng Chu snorted silently.

Qin Huaiyu stamped his feet anxiously, but he couldn't stop Cheng Chumo at all.

"In a month, you have to sell a thousand jars of wine, but I will spread the watering can to the whole country in a month!"

Chang Sun Chong narrowed his eyes, "Let's see who reaches the goal first! The winner has to agree to a condition for the loser! How about it, do you dare to bet?"

"Bet!"

Cheng Chumo said proudly.

"But you can't lower the price of this wine, otherwise it will be unfair to me!"

"no problem!"

Cheng Chumo agreed to everything.

Qin Huaiyu was almost speechless, where did this guy get his confidence?

"Okay, we'll see in a month!"

Chang Sun Chong smiled happily.

If Cheng Chumo is not allowed to lower the price, the possibility of the other party cheating will be cut off. Only a fool will buy it.

As for him, His Majesty has decreed that the Ministry of Industry can definitely produce a sufficient amount of watering cans within a month, so he just needs to sell them.

And taking Quyuanli as a precedent, caravans from all over the country will come to buy, there is more than enough time!

In this way, he will undoubtedly win!
Qin Huaiyu dragged Cheng Chumo into the wine shop, and couldn't help but said, "Are you crazy? We don't have anyone to buy five jars now, so how can you sell it if you bet him a thousand jars?"

"I just can't understand that guy!"

Cheng Chumo was furious.

"That depends on what matters. If you lose, he may not know how to punish you!"

Qin Huaiyu raised his forehead, "If you are not sure, you can't gamble casually!"

"Hey, who said I'm not sure?"

Cheng Chumo suddenly smiled, and the anger on his face dissipated without a trace.

Qin Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, "What did you say? Are you sure?"

"Yes, I have full confidence!"

Cheng Chumo was very happy, "That guy Changsun Chong really fell for it, I'm not angry at all, he just waited to lose!"

"What are you sure about?"

Qin Huaiyu was surprised.

Cheng Chumo was so sure, why didn't he know?
"My greatest confidence is our Red Bean Manager!"

The old god Cheng Chumo said on the ground, his words were full of confidence, "It was Miss Hongdou who asked us to sell wine, how could she sit idly by?"

Qin Huaiyu took a deep breath, "Let me ask you, who sets the price of our wine?"

"Master Hongdou."

Cheng Chumo blurted out.

"How are the wine sales?"

"Not sold..."

Cheng Chumo's smile softened.

"Then let me ask you again, if Miss Hongdou has a way, why didn't we sell a jar of wine according to Miss Hongdou's strategy?"

"This one……"

Cheng Chu opened his mouth silently.

"Also, you should know that Miss Hongdou has never been to Chang'an, and she doesn't know the specifics of Suzaku Avenue."

The smile on Cheng Chumo's face disappeared little by little.

"The most important thing is, didn't you see that there are only five jars of wine in Mr. Su's wine cellar?"

Qin Huaiyu's words struck Cheng Chumo's heart like an axe.

"Then what if... Mr. Su still hides wine elsewhere?"

"Then do you know that these jars of wine were secretly sold by the red bean girl?"

Cheng Chumo finally broke his guard, showing an expression uglier than crying, "Huaiyu, what should I do!"

"You just pray to your red bean manager, there is really a way."

Qin Huaiyu glanced at him angrily, "Otherwise, there is only one fate for you."

"What happened?"

"Being severely humiliated by Changsun Chong!"

Cheng Chu was in a hurry, "Ah, let's go to Zhangjiacun!"

"No rush, let's wait a few days and see how the sales of Changsun Chong's watering can go."

Qin Huaiyu shook his head, "Maybe the other party's sales are not good, but our sales are up?"

In this way, the two decided to wait a week and see.

However, where they didn't see it, the middle-aged man who used to buy wine with them left quietly.

Zheng family.

main hall.

"Patriarch, I found out the news!"

The middle-aged man came in a hurry and saluted the Patriarch Zheng Chuan.

"Zheng Chao, tell me what's going on."

Zheng Chuan played with walnuts in his hands, and said lightly.
