Early the next morning.

It's just dawn.

The gates have not yet been opened.

And he saw a convoy gathered outside the city gate.

All of these carts were carrying all kinds of meat, some had been slaughtered, some were pickled, and some were live chickens and sheep.

Everyone was waiting eagerly for the gates to open.

At this moment, a few men in black came not far away.

The men in black looked at the carriages with unkind faces.

Then one of them said in a loud voice, "We have bought all your meat, and it is 10% higher than the market price, so let's take it all." ”

The merchants shook their heads in refusal.

The people in black were immediately unhappy, and shouted loudly: "You are all big families in Chang'an City, now, our master wants to eat some meat, but you don't sell it, what is the reason?" ”

A fat man stepped forward and asked, "I don't know who your master is?" ”

The man in black said: "My master, there is nothing special, even General Lu Guogong Cheng is also." ”

General Lu Guogong Cheng?

That's Cheng Biting Jin!

The Demon King of the Mixed World!

Cheng Bites Jin's prestige, no one knows.

In other words, now it is Cheng Yanjin who is eyeing the meat they bought.

In fact, their meat is bought at a low price from various places around Chang'an, even if it is sold at the market price of Chang'an, it can make a lot of money, and now the man in black has to buy it at a price higher than the market price, which is equivalent to making everyone earn more.

For a while, everyone had their own thoughts, and they sold all the meat they bought to the people in black.

In a short time, all the meat brought by the people outside the city was sold, and everyone took the money, and when the city gate was opened, they went into the city happily and went home to make a fire to keep warm.

Only a very small part of the meat flowed into Chang'an City.

While the people were looking forward to it, they didn't see any flesh coming in.

Someone went out to inquire, only to find out that the snow was so heavy yesterday that the roads were closed, and those merchants who went to various places to buy meat would definitely not be able to come back for a while.

At this moment, people's hearts panicked.

……

in the Royal Palace.

Temple of Manna.

Li Er and the ministers gathered together.

Li Er asked, "Auxiliary, is there still no news of Changsun Chong?" ”

Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head: "Your Majesty, the minister has sent an unknown number of people to the Western Regions, but they still haven't found anything, not to mention Chong'er, even Xue Rengui's people are like the world has evaporated, it's really a bit strange...... None of the local governments have found any trace of this group. ”

Li Erzheng said: "In this way, there are only two possibilities, one is that they are afraid that something will happen, and the other is that Xue Rengui is indeed a powerful person, from Chang'an all the way to the Western Regions, he can escape everyone's tracking, if it is the latter, you don't have to worry about Changsun Chong at all, Xue Rengui will definitely protect him well......"

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded depressedly: "I hope so!" ”

The atmosphere fell silent.

Everyone knows that the eldest grandson Wuji dotes on the eldest grandson Chong very much, otherwise the eldest grandson chong would not have become the first of the four great gentlemen in Chang'an City.

Now, the whereabouts of the eldest grandson Chong are unknown, and the eldest grandson Wuji must feel uncomfortable in his heart.

No one spoke for a long time.

It took a long time before someone suddenly asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you still have meat at home?" Who can lend me some, my grandson has just turned one year old, he hasn't eaten meat for five or six days, and he's hungry and thin! ”

Meat!

Hearing this, the eyes of everyone present widened.

The people present were all people with heads and faces, from high families, and everyone liked to eat fresh meat, preferably freshly killed chickens and sheep. In this way, there is no kind of meat in everyone's house that only ordinary people will keep, and now, all the living creatures in Chang'an City have been swept away by Cheng Chubi, and the first to lack meat are the big households.

Fang Xuanling said: "Alas, my house has been cut off for ten days. ”

Wang Qi said: "I don't know what meat tastes like anymore. ”

"I really want to eat meat......

There was a lot of talking.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "It's a pity, the heavy snow closes the road, and I don't know when it will melt, and the meat outside can't be transported to Chang'an for a while, otherwise, why would I be so miserable......"

Wei Zheng suddenly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is not true, Chang'an City is not without meat, but the meat is in Chen Chu's hands...... I heard that the place where Chen Chuna built his mansion was full of chickens and sheep running, which was spectacular...... Now, the people in Chang'an City are short of meat to eat, how can the imperial court sit idly by at this time......"

As he spoke, he bowed to Li Eryi and said, "Your Majesty, in order for everyone in Chang'an City to eat meat, please give an order to Chen Chu to take out the meat in his hand and sell it." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up.

That's right!

You Chen Chu will cover the meat and not sell it, I can't help it, but Your Majesty can't help it?

Wang Qi and the others stepped forward one after another and said, "Your Majesty, please be the master for the people of Chang'an City!" ”

"Yes, please give an order to Chen Chu to sell meat."

"Seconded!"

"The ministers seconded it!"

Everyone was excited.

Seeing this, Li Er thought to himself, this is a good way.

After all, I haven't been late for fresh meat in a few days.

He smiled and said, "It's not enough to make an edict for this matter, let Gao Chen bring my edict to Chen Chu......"

……

Upstairs of Chunming Gate City.

When the people in Chang'an City couldn't eat meat.

Chen Chu and Cheng Biting Jin were well fed.

Cheng Yanjin touched his round belly and said, "Oh, this freshly killed mutton is delicious, fat but not greasy, and it is a must-have ......in the world."

Chen Chu shook his head: "These sheep are not good, they are a little fat, the meat is a little loose, they need that kind of authentic running goat, the whole body is lean meat, and it is strong to eat......

Cheng Yanjin's eyes straightened when he heard this.

He secretly wrote down Chen Chu's words, and was going to go back and ask people to find an authentic running goat to try.

On this aspect of eating, Chen Chu definitely has great authority.

Cheng Yanjin looked outside, the cold wind was howling, so he asked: "Fifth brother, when do you plan to start selling meat, I think this person in Chang'an City is going crazy......

In an era dominated by meat, all of a sudden there is no meat to eat, and many people are going to collapse.

This is not the time for the future to promote vegetarianism.

When the two were feasting, Gao Chen suddenly appeared.

Gao Chen saw the tumbling hot pot, and then saw Cheng bite the mutton in the golden bowl, as a person who had been short of meat for several days, his first reaction was drooling, and then quickly wiped the saliva with his sleeve, and hurriedly said: "Chen Gongzi, please go outside, Your Majesty has an edict to give you ......"

Chen Chu didn't bother to get up and asked, "Isn't it okay here?" ”

Gao Chen swallowed his saliva and shook his head.

No way!

If you spread the word here, you can't help but drool, and then it will be ugly.

So Chen Chu stood up and followed Gao Chen outside.

After a while, Chen Chu listened to the dictation and asked, "Father-in-law Gao, go in and sit?" ”

Gao Chen hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, Chen Gongzi, I still have something, go first!" ”

He ran away as if he was flying, leaving one more mouthful, he was afraid that he would become as depraved as Chen Chu.
