The men of Cheng Mansion are all well-trained masters.

At the behest of Cheng Chubi, they walked into the streets like hungry wolves, followed by a carriage, which was full of Kaiyuan Tongbao.

They only do one thing, and that is to buy meat.

It doesn't matter if it's chicken, duck, fish, mutton, donkey, horse, as long as it's meat, they will buy it all.

The construction site of Chen Chu's mansion has long been stacked, so Cheng Chubi deliberately opened up a stacking place outside the city.

In this cold winter season, it is too easy to stack meat, because nature is a natural refrigerator, which can ensure that all meat will not spoil for a month.

And when Cheng Chubi did all this, Chen Chu didn't know anything.

……

The Mansion of the State of Qi.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at a table of yellow vegetables, and his mood was extremely depressed.

At this time, there are no fresh vegetables, these vegetables are hidden after the autumn harvest, and now they are taken out and eaten, and they must be boiled in boiling water for half an hour before they can be cooked.

Originally, in a large family like the Duke of Qi, in winter, vegetables were only decorated, and they mainly ate meat.

Good fellow, there is not even a slice of meat on the table now.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he threw the chopsticks on the table with a snap, and yelled at the housekeeper next to him, "What's going on?" A few days ago, there was stale meat to eat, why is there no stale meat today? ”

The housekeeper stepped forward and said in embarrassment: "Master, the meat stored in the house is all gone, and now, the entire Chang'an City can't buy meat, these days, the streets and alleys, people are buying meat everywhere, don't care about any meat, I sent someone to inquire, it turned out that the meat was bought by Chen Chu, and now in the Chang'an City market, not to mention the live sheep, it is the meat that the people pickled and stored in the cellar has also been bought......

The eldest grandson Wuji smacked his lips and asked suspiciously, "Chen Chu is crazy, right?" Does he want to make it impossible for everyone in Chang'an City to eat meat? Besides, he bought the meat at a high price, which caused the price of meat to skyrocket, and there must be many people who went out of the city to buy meat in various places, and in a few days, there will definitely be a steady stream of meat coming in, and at that time, Chen Chu can only store those people until they are rotten, what a stupid boy. ”

The housekeeper patted his eyes and said, "My lord, in the past two days, there have indeed been many businessmen who have left Chang'an and gone to the surrounding places to buy meat. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said, "Don't eat it, Chen Chu, this kid, is too hateful, it only takes three days, he will definitely be unlucky." By the way, the people of the eldest grandson's family have all gone to the Western Regions? Why is there no trace of Chong'er? ”

The housekeeper said: "Master, our good hands have been sent out, but it is freezing this day, and it is very inconvenient to travel to and from the Western Regions, I am afraid that it will take some time, the young master Jiren has his own natural appearance, I believe he will be fine......

"Alas!"

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed, looking worried.

……

Palace.

Yanjia Palace.

Li Er looked at the dishes on the table, rummaged carefully with chopsticks, rummaged for a long time, and didn't even see a single shredded meat.

He raised his head, looked at Empress Eldest Sun suspiciously, and said, "Guanyin, I know that you have always been thrifty, but now that Neiku is making money every day, there is no shortage of money at all, why do you have to be so frugal......"

Li Er was a little distressed.

Empress Changsun followed him as a teenager and suffered a lot in the war-torn era.

Even if she became a queen, at the beginning, life was very poor.

Therefore, when Li Er and Chen Chu partnered in business and made a lot of money, Li Er ordered that Empress Eldest Sun squander it.

Rao is like this, and the eldest grandson queen still remains frugal.

This made Li Er very moved.

Let's just say that this table is full of dishes, and there is not even a piece of meat.

Li Er stared at Empress Changsun, looked up and down, and said, "Guanyin, you have lost weight again......"

Empress Changsun was stunned and said: "Why did the second brother say this, the concubines also want the imperial chefs to make a meal of meat for the second brother to eat, if it is cold today, if you can eat some mutton, it must be very warm, but ...... The imperial chef just came to report that there was no more sheep in Chang'an City, not even pickled mutton, and no other chicken, duck and fish meat, all ......"

Li Er was dumbfounded.

He asked in surprise: "Guanyin, do you mean that there is no meat to sell in this huge Chang'an?" ”

Empress Eldest Sun nodded.

Li Er was taken aback.

The mood is very uneasy.

He was the emperor, and no one came to tell him about such a big thing.

Li Er hurriedly beckoned, asked Gao Chen to come over, and said, "Gao Chen, you go and find out what happened immediately." ”

Gao Chen nodded and hurried away.

After a short time, Gao Chen came back and said: "Your Majesty, I have found out that all the meat in this Chang'an City has been bought by Chen Chu, it was bought short, and it was bought at a high price, and now, many families want to eat meat......

The corners of Li Er's mouth twitched.

If he were to say that someone else had done this, he would not have believed it.

Because no one would be willing to spend so much money on meat at a high price.

But Chen Chu's words, he believed.

Because, Chen Chu is very rich.

And Chen Chu has always been unpredictable.

Next to her, Empress Changsun was surprised: "Is Chen Chu sick, how could he do such a foolish thing, can he buy the meat of Chang'an City, can he buy the meat of Datang?" As long as the merchants go to the vicinity of Chang'an City, they will be able to buy a large amount of meat in a few days, and when the time comes, won't the meat he bought be useless? ”

Li Er also nodded.

Empress Eldest Sun was about to send someone to remind Chen Chu, but was stopped by Li Er.

Li Er snorted and said: "That kid has always been arrogant and arrogant, and no one cares about it, so it's ......good to let him taste failure this time."

Empress Eldest Sun was a little worried: "However, this will make him lose a lot of money." ”

Sure enough, she is a mother-in-law, and she still cares about her son-in-law.

Li Er said a little sourly: "Just a few hundred thousand guan, for Chen Chu, it's not a ......."

Think about him Li Er, although as the emperor, there are countless former wealth in the inner treasury, but there is an entire palace to spend, there are many concubines, many children, and the clan to support, a rich person like the eldest grandson Wuji also has a family to support, but Chen Chu is alone, but he has countless money, which makes people envious.

……

Lu Guogong Mansion.

Bang.

"Ouch......"

Cheng Chubi screamed and began to run around a table.

Cheng Biting Jin chased after him and shouted: "Rabbit cub, Lao Tzu has to slaughter you today......

Cheng Chubi shouted: "Dad, I was wrong, I was wrong......"

Cheng bit Jin three steps and made two steps, grabbed Cheng Chubi up, and shouted: "Are you wrong?" Do you know that just because of your mess, your uncle will lose tens of thousands of yuan, you rabbit cub, I will kill you, and then give your uncle an explanation......"
