Crossing over reveals a waste's difficult journey home

Going off topic is by no means exclusive to modern people.

When ancient people chatted, they would talk about everything from east to west, from heaven to underground, and by the end of the conversation, they would almost forget what the original topic was.

Just as everyone was discussing the issue, the tofu pudding seller spoke up again: "Everyone, let me make it clear first. I didn't say that my tofu pudding can make people immortal."

"I didn't say immortality, but I don't say longevity either!"

Xia Shu knew that the most powerful thing about liars was that they could turn black into white. In order to prevent himself and the people present from being deceived by the other party's sweet words, he denied it quickly and did not give the other party any room for quibbling.

"Then let me ask this warrior, why do you eat?"

"Of course it's to eat enough and not starve to death!"

"Then let me ask you another question. Do you think it is better to live longer by eating beans and rice or by eating wheat flour and meat?"

This time, before Natsuki could answer, the other people present started talking.

"Of course, those who eat wheat flour and meat live longer! Not far from us, there is a wealthy family.

It is said that they eat meat and soup noodles for every meal. Now his grandfather, who is already in his sixties, can still walk briskly! "

If Jiang Tuan were here and heard someone say that a sixty-year-old could still walk briskly, he would definitely think that people in Daxia were surprised by this.

In the world he lives in, not to mention people in their sixties, some eighty-year-old elderly people die faster than him, a young man who is only twenty years old.

However, each world is different, and there is a big difference between modern and ancient times.

In ancient times when the level of production was low, people's food and drink were very poor, and most people needed to do high-intensity labor. The combination of these two factors meant that the average life expectancy of ordinary people was less than 40 years old.

In that era, many people might become grandfathers or grandmothers by the age of 30, and their bodies would basically collapse by the age of 40, and they could only wait for death.

And even more people may not even live to die of old age, but die suddenly due to various reasons and diseases that they themselves are not even aware of.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, being able to live to the age of sixty is already very remarkable, not to mention being able to walk briskly at that age, which is really something worth talking about.

"Well, this person said it very well. Since eating wheat noodles and meat can make people live longer, does that mean that wheat noodles and meat can prolong life?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present immediately quieted down.

If you eat bad food, your life will be short, and if you eat good food, your life will be long. Therefore, good food can make people live longer.

If you think along this line of thought, it seems reasonable to say that this thing called tofu brain can prolong life.

Seeing that everyone was thinking seriously, the tofu pudding seller continued, "My tofu pudding, including the tofu I'll sell later, is just like wheat cakes and meat. Eating it can make people healthier.

So that people can live longer, isn't that considered prolonging life?"

To Jiang Tuan, this explanation was so pale and weak. If a business dared to use such an explanation to deceive the people in modern times, it would probably not even be able to fool a slightly older child.

However, this is ancient times, when even having enough to eat was a problem, not to mention balanced nutrition. The common people don't understand the big principles, they can only understand this kind of superficial comparison.

Thinking about the actual situation of the Great Xia Dynasty, when discussing how to promote tofu products, Jiang Tuan agreed to the proposal of Su Zhao, who knew the people best.

First, they use open-ended production and exaggerated publicity to attract people, and then arrange a supporting role to perform a show.

In this way, the benefits of tofu products are spread, so as to make people know about tofu products, accept tofu products, and thus produce tofu products.

However, when the promotion started, Xia Shu unexpectedly showed up. But the result was good, the "stolen" they arranged did not appear on the stage, and the people started to attack on their own.

"Well, let's see! If this tofu pudding can really make people healthy just like wheat noodles and meat, it can definitely be said to prolong life!"

The people's thinking is very simple. They don't have much experience, but that doesn't mean they are stupid. Once someone opens their mouth, they start to settle accounts.

One coin, two bowls of tofu pudding and a bowl of unpeeled wheat noodles cost three coins. Wheat noodles with peeled skin are more expensive, costing six or seven coins.

And just like “He who is dressed in silk and satin is not a silkworm farmer”, most wheat farmers are reluctant to eat wheat flour. They will exchange wheat for other things they need more.

Not to mention meat. Many people may never have a full meal of meat from birth to death. The price of a bowl of meat may leave the family without food for many days.

Do people not want to eat wheat noodles and meat? No, they just can’t afford them.

Between having a delicious meal and then starving to death, or eating something less delicious and living longer, most people will choose the latter without hesitation!

If someone told them now that there was something that could make people strong just like wheat noodles and meat, and most importantly, it was very cheap, I guess everyone would go crazy.

Now, those who have already understood the situation standing in front of the tofu stall have begun to go crazy!

"Does eating this tofu pudding really feel like eating meat? Will it make people healthy?"

"Yes, this tofu pudding is good for the body, mainly because it is very soft and can be eaten by both the elderly and children. If you don't believe it, you can buy a bowl and try it.

Hey, brave man, you can also buy it and try it.

Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor found an expert and spent a long time researching and developing this thing that is cheap and good for your health.

The master this time is different from those deceptive sorcerers in the past. He is really capable and it is said that he will develop better things in the future.

Your Majesty loves the people like his own children, and hopes that all people in the world can live long and healthy lives. He will not lie to anyone!"

If there were still some people who had doubts before, once the Emperor's name was mentioned, everyone's doubts immediately dissipated, including Xia Shu who had previously firmly refused to believe it.

After being called, he didn't care about the firewood under his feet, and jumped down directly. He squeezed to the front in a few seconds, grabbed the tofu pudding seller and asked: "Are you telling the truth? Is it made by your majesty?"

"My brave man, please don't grab me, it hurts me!"

When they were released, the tofu pudding vendor explained: "It was not made by the emperor, but by someone the emperor asked to make it."

Xia Shu didn't listen to the other party's explanation. In his opinion, whatever His Majesty asked someone to make was made by His Majesty, and there was nothing wrong with it!

"Give me two bowls, no, four bowls! Can I take it away?"
