Reborn in 08, a heretical cultivator starting a business

Chapter 9: A Crazy Bestseller, A Decisive Strike! (Third Update)

"Boss, this is it!"

"Okay." Wang Junshan placed it on the electronic scale: "15.1 jin, 30.2 yuan, I'll take 30 yuan from you!"

"Thank you, boss." The man immediately took out his money to pay the bill.

Wang Junshan handed over a few more flyers: "Put them on your shoulders so they don't get your clothes dirty. They work well, so please help spread the word."

"no problem!"

Then, two more boys came to the door.

"15.2 jin, 30.4 yuan, I'll take 30 from you."

"Thank you, boss." The other party was very happy.

"17.6 jin, 35.2 yuan, I'll take 35 from you."

"Thanks, boss! I'll help you promote it too!"

Without Wang Junshan saying anything, the two of them took a few flyers and left.

"grateful."

Wang Junshan laughed, realizing he could even save the trouble of handing out flyers.

That's how relationships between people work.

Even though it's just a few cents less, it makes people feel good.

Wang Junshan couldn't be bothered with such things.

The smallest coin he exchanged was one yuan; he didn't even have any fifty cents.

Then a few more people came to settle their accounts, but most of them were boys.

They all weigh over 15 jin (7.5 catties), some even over 20 jin (10 catties).

It can carry a 35-pound bucket of water, so a 20-30 pound winter melon is nothing to it.

Meanwhile, the girls were still choosing.

It's obvious that you have trouble making decisions.

"There are a lot of mosquitoes in the warehouse, everyone be careful," Wang Junshan warned.

"mosquito!"

The girls' expressions changed drastically, and they quickly chose their melons and came out.

"12.2 jin, 24.4, I'll take it from you for 24."

"14.1 jin, 28.2 yuan, I'll take it from you for 28!"

"If it's too cold, you can wrap it in a towel."

"Also, don't use it during your period, it's too cooling!"

"thank you boss."

Several girls also volunteered to take some flyers and help with the promotion.

One girl even grabbed a small dozen: "Boss, I'll distribute them for you when I get back to my dorm!"

"Thank you!" Wang Junshan expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

"You're welcome, hehe." The woman blushed and ran away.

Wang Junshan is good-looking and has a good attitude, so many people want to help promote him.

Especially girls.

More and more people came to settle their accounts, and although Wang Junshan was only one person, he handled everything in an orderly manner.

During the break, I lit a mosquito coil.

"Ouch, I got bitten! A big mosquito!"

A girl came out with a frown.

Wang Junshan handed over the floral water he had bought earlier: "Spray it on to stop the itching."

"Boss, you're a good person."

"Hehe." Wang Junshan took the winter melon: "13 jin and 6 liang, 27.2 yuan, I'll charge you 27."

"Thank you."

More and more people selected their winter melons, came to the door to weigh them, and paid.

Wang Junshan's cases were all rounded down to zero.

It's clear that these people are full of anticipation.

They have no doubt about the cooling effect of winter melon.

After all, Li Shizhen said, "Hugging a hot person can cool their skin!"
What else is there to disbelieve?

Are we going to question the Compendium of Materia Medica?
Questioning Li Shizhen?
Seeing the large number of people gathered around the warehouse, those in the distance also became interested and came to investigate.

"Hey kid, you're selling winter melons here? What's the use of these?"

"Winter melon is a portable cooling pillow; you can lower your temperature by three degrees by hugging it while sleeping at night."

As he spoke, Wang Junshan handed over several flyers.

The group looked at the wording on the flyer and were completely bewildered:

"It's not that we can't afford to turn on the air conditioner, it's just that winter melon is more cost-effective!"

According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, winter melon can cool the skin when held while hot. Is it a natural portable cooling pillow?

"Winter melon has a water content of 96%. If you wash and dry it, and then sleep with it, it can lower your temperature by three degrees?"

"real or fake?"

Everyone was stunned. This was outrageous!

That's everyone's first impression!

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can search online to see if it's the original quote from the Compendium of Materia Medica."

"Okay, I'll search!"

Some people did not believe it, but after searching, they were immediately shocked:
"Holy crap, it really is!"

"Hugging it can cool the skin when it's hot; this is truly a quote from the Compendium of Materia Medica!"

"I believe in Li Shizhen, I'll buy one!"

"I'll buy one too!"

So another group of people entered the warehouse and began selecting melons.

I didn't expect to sell many tonight, but surprisingly, sales were pretty good.

Starting at six o'clock, one after another, people came to inquire, select melons, and buy melons.

Some of these people were attracted by Wang Junshan's posters.

Others were simply curious because there were so many people at the warehouse.

Others, seeing others carrying large winter melons on the street, couldn't help but ask:

"Dude, what are you doing buying a winter melon? To make soup? Electric cookers aren't allowed in the dorms!"

"It's not soup, it's a portable cooling pillow that can physically lower your temperature by three degrees."

"Holy crap?! Really?!"

"You're ignorant, aren't you? The Compendium of Materia Medica, Vegetable Section, Winter Melon says that rubbing slices of winter melon on prickly heat is especially good, and hugging it can cool the skin when it's hot."

"This is all the wisdom of the ancients!"

"Damn, it really is there. This kid got away with it again!"

"By the way, where did you buy it?"

"Here, it's on the flyer, west warehouse of dormitory building number 7!"

"Thanks, I'll go buy some too, it's been so hot these past few days!"

A dormitory.

"That idiot Li Wentao believed that winter melon could cool you down, and actually spent 42 yuan to buy a huge winter melon! Don't you think he's stupid?"

"They even said it's not that they can't afford to turn on the air conditioner, but that winter melon is more cost-effective!"

"I'm dying of laughter, how could someone with that IQ get into a 985 university?"

"You're the idiot! There's nothing wrong with reading more books. Look at what the Compendium of Materia Medica says!"

As he spoke, Li Wentao searched for the original text in the Compendium of Materia Medica on his phone, and the smiles on the faces of his roommates immediately froze!

"So, do you believe Wu Chuan, that ignorant fool, or Li Shizhen?"

"Bro, stop cursing. Where did you buy it? I want to go too! It's been so hot these past few days I can't sleep."

"I also want!"

"Let's go, we can't let Taozi have fun all by himself, let's all go buy some!"

The other roommates immediately went downstairs, formed a group to buy winter melons, and also invited the dorm across the street to join them.

Similar scenes were observed in multiple dormitories at Binzhou University.

When my roommate came back carrying a big winter melon, I was met with skepticism, ridicule, and disdain.

But when I saw the record in the Compendium of Materia Medica, I immediately believed it.

This is the power of authority!

As a result, more and more people ran out of their dormitories and came to the warehouse to buy winter melons.

Nobody wants to be unable to sleep tonight because of the heat.

Those who had already bought them began to wash, wipe, and dry them.

We're just waiting to see how it goes tonight.

It's been so hot these past few days.

It was over 30 degrees Celsius, and there wasn't even a fan in the dorm. It was unbearably hot!
If winter melon can lower the temperature by three degrees, that would be a real lifesaver!
Even if it costs hundreds of yuan, let alone tens of yuan, I'd still buy it!
It's so hot every night that I can't sleep; it's really torturous.

This directly led to an increasingly booming sales of winter melons in Wangjunshan.

So much so that he was almost overwhelmed by the workload!

He immediately started calling for help: "Xiu Jie, where are you?"

"I'm working part-time at KFC! What's up?"

"It's alright. Where's Xia Chengjun?"

"He and Sun Mingzhe work at McDonald's. The three of us are all working part-time. Do you want to come too?"

What is your hourly wage?

"Six yuan."

"So little! Okay, it's fine."

Guo Xiujie frowned: "Don't complain about the small amount. Every little bit counts, you know? Let's have one tomorrow. We'll have two KFCs, and they'll have two McDonald's. The four musketeers of fast food!"

"You're kidding me!" Wang Junshan hung up the phone immediately.

The revenue from just a few hours tonight is equivalent to Guo Xiujie's thousands of hours of part-time work at KFC!

That's a direct dimensional reduction attack!
If you use the wrong method, all your efforts will be in vain!
