At night, inside the restaurant.
Fang Zhengyi sat at the same table with Emperor Jing, sipping tea and eating side dishes.
Zhang Biao was maintaining his equipment in another room.
Wang Erzhu spent 80% of the money he had left to book Room No. 1.
This room is a suite where the master and servant can live in one room, but it can only accommodate three people.
Fang Zhengyi, Emperor Jing and Zhang Biao were exactly three people.
As for the heartbroken Wang Erzhu, he voluntarily applied to the store for a free firewood shed.
The shopkeeper also readily agreed... After all, the big room was booked, so it was only natural to give us a firewood room for one night.
Emperor Jing drank his tea thoughtfully.
What he saw and heard after entering the city still haunts him.
The scene where the craftsmen in the woodworking workshop took the initiative to stand up and defend his reputation was particularly impressive.
But there is a big problem right now.
"Zhengyi, you've spent all your money. Are you sure you can sell those apples tomorrow? If you can't, you won't be able to stay here for long."
Fang Zheng said, "Of course I am sure. I will not do anything I am not sure of. I have known this since I entered the city. Pingwan County is changing rapidly now, with people coming and going and goods moving around."
"In a place like this, at a time like this, almost any product is easy to sell, especially new and unique products. Merchants also need to give gifts to each other to strengthen their connections and attract people's attention, so they need this kind of product."
"I will position those apples in a new and unique way tomorrow, and they will surely be sold out in a big way."
Emperor Jing was puzzled and asked, "Isn't this a lie?"
“It’s marketing.”
"If you change the word, it won't be called cheating?"
Fang Zheng blushed slightly, and said stubbornly: "It's not a lie, it's marketing. What we are selling is face and ideas."
"We also sold tea. After packaging, it became another high-end product. It's the same principle."
"Haha, well, I'll see how you cheat tomorrow." Emperor Jing smiled sweetly after hearing this.
"......"
......
The next morning.
Fang Zhengyi took Jingdi and others to the stall.
As for the location, he had already chosen it the day before.
Not far from the woodworking workshop, there are many shops and people gather there.
When the donkey cart stopped, Fang Zhengyi ran off to who knows where and was busy for an hour.
When the sun was at its highest, he returned to the donkey cart and pointed at Wang Erzhu and said, "You, go to the corner."
"Why?" Wang Erzhu felt sad.
"You are so unlucky! How can I do business with you here? Do you still want to make money? Go now!"
Wang Erzhu had no choice but to walk silently to the corner, squatted against the wall with his hands in his sleeves, feeling depressed.
Thinking back on my experiences over the past two days...it felt like I was kidnapped without realizing it.
But now that things have come to this, it seems that I can only let others do whatever they want...
Seeing him squatting, Fang Zhengyi picked up a small porcelain basin he had just bought, filled it with water, took out a small jar of honey and poured it in, stirring it vigorously.
Then he took out the small knife that Zhang Biao was carrying and began to peel the apple carefully.
An apple blossom appeared in Fang Zheng's hand and was placed in a basin of water to prevent it from oxidizing and changing color.
Emperor Jing looked curious and asked with a smile, "You also have this skill?"
"It's just that I'm skilled at it. Miaohan doesn't have a good appetite at home, so I'll peel an apple for her." Fang Zhengyi was still peeling an apple with a serious expression, as if he was talking about family matters.
Emperor Jing nodded with satisfaction.
How many men in the world can be so shameless as to peel an apple for a woman and peel it so well?
A good son-in-law indeed!
When everything was ready, Fang Zhengyi said to Emperor Jing, "Your Majesty, please stand in front and just watch."
Emperor Jingdi did not suspect anything and stood in front of the car.
Fang Zheng looked around and when he saw the most people around, he suddenly waved his hands fiercely at Emperor Jing and shouted:
"Not for sale! Not for sale!"
"How come you bought all the delicious peace apples in our house? Do you want to take them back to plant them yourself?"
“......?” Emperor Jing was petrified on the spot.
Passersby behind him came over curiously, wanting to hear more clearly.
Seeing that some people were starting to gather around, Fang Zhengyi continued to speak: "I already said I won't sell it to you, hurry up and leave!"
Emperor Jing remained expressionless.
Someone leaned over to look at the peeled apples in the basin and asked curiously, "What are you selling?"
Fang Zhengyi said seriously, "This is called the Peace Fruit. It is a fruit sold exclusively to the Jinyiwei during the New Year and other festivals. There are people from the government offices in the capital who specifically order this fruit from my house."
"In previous years, the extra fruits were taken away by the bad guys in the capital. They sold my fruits, which cost five taels, for ten taels. They are too wicked. This year we plan to sell them ourselves, six taels a box!"
"This peace apple can only be eaten once a year. The production is limited, and each person can only buy one box."
Wang Erzhu, who was sitting in the corner, stretched his head to look at Fang Zhengyi. When he heard Fang Zhengyi's stunned words, he slowly opened his mouth.
Are the apples I grow so amazing? How can he sell them if he says so much nonsense?
Many passers-by couldn't help but become curious when they heard about the special supply from the Jinyiwei.
A passerby asked, "Is it true? I've never heard of it. Can I try it?"
"Yes!" Fang Zhengyi said, pulling out a bamboo stick from his arms.
He put a slice of apple in the basin, shook off the water, and handed it to a passerby.
A passerby ate it and praised it, "Mmm! Sweet! And it has a floral scent, but why does it smell like apple?"
