Most of the people living in the vicinity of the East Market were nobles and high-ranking officials, and for this reason, the East Market mainly sold valuables to satisfy the preferences of these nobles. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In normal times, the passenger flow here is all people with status, of course, there are also some of their slaves, in short, at a glance, the passenger flow of the entire East Market, dressed relatively decently, far more than the West Market.

In a location with a large flow of people, Zhao Liu bought a storefront, which is of course Ang Lee's asset, but Zhao Liu is just letting him manage it.

"Hurry, hurry, get all of this into the room, and leave these few outside, yes, that's all."

Zhao Liu, like a leader, is commanding the people under him.

"Quick, remove the straw curtains from these rocking chairs, hurry."

Under Zhao Liu's command, several male servants removed the straw curtains covering the five rocking chairs left outside the façade, and suddenly, these rocking chairs appeared in front of the eyes of pedestrians.

"Hey, what is this, it looks like a chair."

"Huh! It's a rare thing, and it's supposed to be for people to lie down. ”

"Hey, this chair has no legs, how can it be shaken."

"Ask you, this chair doesn't look like a chair, and the bed doesn't look like a bed."

Almost instantly, the wandering pedestrians were attracted by these strange new gadgets, most of them were people with status, and they naturally spoke more boldly and flamboyantly, and even fiddled with the rocking chair directly with their hands.

Zhao Liu showed his standard eight teeth, bowed down and introduced: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a rocking chair in a small shop, it is for people to lie down, but it is comfortable and tight?" Let me show you how to do it. ”

As he spoke, he lay down in a rocking chair in the middle, closed his eyes, and shook comfortably.

"Yo, that's how it works, it looks good, let's try it too."

A few guests dressed in gorgeous clothes felt very surprised, walked to the other rocking chairs, and lay down gently.

When they just lay down, these people who had never played with the rocking chair all subconsciously shook a little, but after getting used to it for a while, they realized the magic of the rocking chair, and learned from Zhao Liu's appearance, and shook comfortably.

After a short demonstration, Zhao Liu immediately got up and gave the rocking chair to the onlookers, so that these guests could experience the fun of the rocking chair to the fullest.

The first five people to experience it were attracted by the comfort of the rocking chair, and they kept shaking with their eyes closed, as if they were lying in their own yard, completely ignoring the people around them.

"Does it look good, comfortable?"

"Looking at the appearance of these people, it seems to be very comfortable."

The onlookers suddenly became more curious, there are no newspapers in this era, there is no TV and movies, and there is not much gossip news, which leads to the spiritual life of people in this era is very scarce, and they often feel that life is boring and boring.

Zhao Liu saw that the first batch of five people to experience was addicted, and once again showed the standard eight teeth, and said softly: "Ladies and gentlemen, these rocking chairs are reserved for guests to experience, each person can only experience a short time, if you are satisfied, you can buy one back, the price is not expensive, first buy first served, there is still stock in the house, and there will be goods every day in the future." ”

"Get up, let me try."

Onlookers began to take turns to experience the fun of rocking chairs, while those who were satisfied asked for the price and planned to buy one and go back to enjoy it when they had nothing to do.

Of course, because it is furniture made of wood, the price cannot be too expensive, but it is also three to five times higher than the cost price, and it can also be regarded as a huge profit, but for rich people, this high price is nothing at all, and they will not buy too much anyway.

In just half an hour, a hundred rocking chairs were sold out, even if it was, there were still many customers blocking the store, asking to buy rocking chairs as soon as possible, so that Zhao Liu had to keep explaining, asking them to wait for a day, and more rocking chairs would be shipped on the second day, so that they could buy them.

The sales of rocking chairs are so hot that several businesses selling wooden furniture opposite can't sit still, and the tables and beds they sell take a long time to sell, but these rocking chairs are selling amazingly, which is too big a contrast.

After envy, jealousy and hatred, these red-eyed merchants began to explore Zhao Liu's way of coming from to determine their countermeasures, if the background is not hard, they will forcibly snatch this business, if the back is too hard, of course, they can't mess around.

These seemingly ordinary merchants, in fact, have a backstage behind them, if there is no backstage support, it is difficult to support the east and west markets in the capital, even if it can be supported, it is a small fight, and it will definitely not become a climate.

And the merchants opposite Zhao Liu's shop, many of them are the properties of the Tang Dynasty's five surnamed Qiwang families, and some are the industries of the court's powerful ministers and royal families, in short, they are by no means as ordinary as they seem on the surface.

It's just that when these guys with ghosts learned that these rocking chairs were from Ang Lee's mansion, they all softened, the forces behind them are indeed very big, but Ang Lee is not a person to mess with, and Ang Lee's royal identity has been confirmed, and his position has been even more consolidated, who is so bold and dares to provoke Ang Lee.

Zhao Liu carried a lot of money, took a group of servants, pushed a few transport vehicles, and happily returned to the mansion, this first day was so smooth, it was a good start, and the next one will definitely be even smoother.

"A-a-lang, A-a-lang."

Zhao Liuxing rushed into the big backyard.

At this moment, Li Anzheng and Yan Ruyu were admiring the fresh and tender vegetables in the vegetable greenhouse, when they saw Zhao Liuxing rushing in.

"Zhao Liu, why did you come back so soon, the rocking chair was sold out?"

Zhao Liu took out a few pieces of gold from his arms, and said happily: "Ah Lang, it's only been half an hour, and all the hundred rocking chairs have been snatched up, it seems that we will have to transport more rocking chairs to Dongshi tomorrow." ”

Li An took the yellow, orange and orange gold, and checked it casually, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "I really didn't expect that these little rocking chairs could bring me such a rich income, hey, how can I be so talented?" ”

"Husband, I really don't know how to be shy."

Yan Ruyu glanced at Li An and snatched the gold in Li An's hand.

"Zhao Liu, five hundred rocking chairs will be shipped over tomorrow, and in addition, the processing factories outside the city will also step up their work, and make a lot of money for him long before the opponent builds a rocking chair."

Ang Lee knows that the rocking chair is not a high-tech thing after all, and it is only a matter of time before it is imitated.

However, even if it is imitated, it will not pose much of a threat to Ang Lee's industry, after all, Ang Lee's processing plant is a modern assembly line operation, the cost has been greatly reduced, and the output has been greatly increased, so that Ang Lee's rocking chair will firmly occupy the dominant position in the market and will never fall because of vicious competition.

If there is an opponent who makes a rocking chair and maliciously sells it at a low price, Ang Lee can also follow the price reduction, in the case of a much lower cost than others, Ang Lee is not afraid of not being able to consume the other party, besides, Ang Lee has a lot of good ideas, and he can invent new things at any time, so that others will always follow his ass to drink soup.

In addition, Ang Lee's rocking chairs are all exactly the same for the time being, which is completely the need for assembly line operations, and when the time is ripe, it is possible to create a more comfortable type of rocking chair, so as to further increase competitiveness.

Now, wheelchairs have been invented, but the first wheelchair still has a lot to be desired, which needs to be continuously improved to increase its comfort and performance of use.

Ang Lee's mansion employed a number of skilled carpenters and blacksmiths, and paid them well, so that they could improve the various rare things they had developed.

"Ah Lang, someone outside the door asks to see him, claiming to be Zuo Xiang's house slave."

The janitor ran to the big backyard to report.

"Prime Minister Zuo's house slave, bring him here."

Although the status of Zuo Prime Minister Li Shizhi is higher than that of Li An, and he is Li An's younger brother, his house slave came, and there was no need for Li Anxing to rush over to greet him, after all, this was just a house slave, and Li Shizhi did not come in person.

"Slave maid, see General Li."

The person who came knew how to be polite and saluted Ang Lee.

Li An nodded and asked, "What do you want Xiang Zuo to order?" ”

"General Li, my family Ah Lang said that it will be the Shangyuan Festival in a few days, and I want to invite General Li to sit in the mansion tonight and catch up with the old days."

When Li An heard this, he felt that he should go, after all, he was so close to Li Shizhi, and Li Shizhi personally invited him, how could he not go.

"Go back and tell Zuo Xiang that Ang Lee will definitely go on time."

Li An replied loudly and asked Zhao Liu to prepare the means of travel immediately.

"Husband, if you go to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion tonight, won't you come back?"

Yan Ruyu asked with a little disappointment.

Li An touched Yan Ruyu's forehead and said with a smile: "If you have a token from the imperial court for your husband, you can come back even if you are banned at night, besides, what if you have something to do at night?" How can a husband not return? ”

"Husband......

Yan Ruyu glared at Li An shyly, turned around and fled towards the main house.

"Sample, dare to run, see how I clean you up when I come back at night."

Li An smiled, simply changed his clothes, and prepared to rush to the mansion of Li Shizhi, the left minister.

As the left minister of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shizhi's mansion is relatively close to the imperial city, and Li An's mansion is still in Dayefang in the south, so the distance is still relatively far, fortunately, Li An has horses to ride, so it doesn't take too long to rush to Li Shizhi's mansion.

But today is different, the first time I go to Li Shizhi's mansion, I always have to bring some gifts, or it would be too rude, after thinking about it, Li An decided to give Li Shizhi two rocking chairs, in addition, bring ten catties of soybean sprouts, ten catties of mung bean sprouts, and ten catties of rape.

These are not worth much together, but in the current Tang Dynasty, these are rare things, so Ang Li gave these to Li Shizhi, which is the best gift.

Since the rocking chair is a large object and needs a horse-drawn carriage to transport, the speed of the team is naturally relatively slow, and it took a long time to arrive at Li Shizhi's mansion.

"General Li, my Ah Lang has been waiting in the main hall for a long time."

As soon as he walked to the gate, a butler who was fifty years old greeted him cordially.

Li An nodded, turned around and said, "These few small gifts are my gifts to Zuo Xiang, please be sure to accept them." ”

When the housekeeper saw that it was full of rare items, and bean sprouts and small rape were things that were difficult to buy in the market, he immediately nodded again and again, and asked his subordinates to help the servants brought by Li An to transport these to the mansion.

And he took Ang Lee to the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this moment, Li Shizhi was sitting on the futon in the main hall, with a pot of hot tea in front of him, and the strong taste of the tea could be smelled from a long distance.

"The lowly Li An visited the left minister."

Li An saluted respectfully, not daring to trespass in the slightest.

Li Shizhi grinned and said enthusiastically: "Ang Li, come and sit down, you and I are both a family, so you don't have to be so polite, you kid is really, I don't send someone to invite you, you won't take the initiative to come over to see me." ”

"Zuo Xiang's forgiveness, he has been busy with the cultivation of the land outside the city for the past few days, and he has not found time for a while, and he is planning to visit again after the Shangyuan Festival."

Ang Lee found a reason to prevaricate at will.

"Why is it still called Zuo Xiang, your Ah Weng is my second brother, I am your six Ah Weng, in this kind of occasion where there are no outsiders, just call Liu Ah Weng, well, I should also change my name to you Da Lang."

Li Shizhi felt that Zuo Xiang was too angry, so he asked Li An to call Ah Weng directly.

Li An smiled and nodded, "Liu, I'll bring you a few small gifts." ”

"Oh, and I brought a gift, what a good thing."

Li Shizhi asked curiously.

"Ah Lang, it's bean sprouts and wattles, there are more than 30 catties, and in addition, there are two rocking chairs."

The butler interjected.

"Bean sprouts, weeds, this is a rarity! Immediately instruct the kitchen to make it now. ”

Li Shizhi wanted to try it immediately, just heard that Li An sent bean sprouts, and they all shouted to the back kitchen to cook, at the same time, he looked at Li An and asked, "Da Lang, what is this rocking chair?" ”

"Liu-A-Weng, this is a very interesting thing, you can lie on it and rest, but it's comfortable, do you want to try it now."

Ang Lee said.

"Okay, let's move here!"

Li Shizhi couldn't wait, and he really wanted to experience what interesting things Ang Lee had made again.

When he attended Ang Lee's wedding, he really experienced the comfort of Ang Lee's mansion, so he attached great importance to what Ang Lee invented.

"Liuweng, this is it, you lie down and try it."

Soon, the two rocking chairs were carried over, and Li An helped Li Shizhi to lie down on the rocking chair smoothly, and gently shook the rocking chair.

"Dalang, this is similar to a swing!"

Li Shizhi closed his eyes and enjoyed the fun of the rocking chair, and after a while, he let out an exclamation.

"What Liua Weng said is that the place where this rocking chair makes people feel comfortable is indeed the same as the swing, you can lie down for a while and enjoy it."

Li An served Li Shizhi carefully as if he was serving an elder.

Li Shizhi opened his eyes, got up with Li An's support, and said softly: "The rocking chair is already here, you can lie down at any time, Liu Ah Weng still has something very important to tell you?" (To be continued.) )
