Yan Chengjin looked back and saw that Changning Bo Zhou Yu was carrying a basket and standing behind him, and in the basket were a few roast chickens.

The shouting came to an abrupt end.

Zhou Yu turned to a look of surprise: "It's a virtuous nephew, does a virtuous nephew want to run chickens?" Your Majesty bought three of them, and it only costs half a tael of silver, which is more, and it can be cheaper......"

Yesterday, I found out that Zhou Yu looked calculating, but he didn't expect to start the idea of running chickens.

A pound of chicken in Dongshi is only seven cents of silver, and he costs half a tael of silver for one.

Also sold to Emperor Hongji?

Except for the Zhou family, no one has such a fat guts, right?

Yan Chengjin had a strange face, glanced at the running chicken in his basket, or did he give it himself, this stinky and shameless person took my chicken and sold it to me again?

"Chang Ningbo sells half a tael of silver, not afraid of being beaten?"

"Humph! The old man is a national relative, who dares to beat me! But, virtuous nephew, do you want it? The old man will count you cheaper again, half a tael of silver, two! Long-term supply. ”

Relatives sold things to the imperial court.

The so-called officials and businessmen mostly refer to relatives, who use their identities to cooperate with some supervisors in charge of procurement in the palace to make money.

Zhou Yu also stole teachers to learn art, Wan Xi, the younger brother of Wan Guifei in the previous dynasty, often came back from all over the country to buy some antiques and curiosities, colluded with the imperial horse supervisor to purchase the eunuch Liang Fang, and gave it to the court at a high price.

It is also a convenient thing to sell to the circle of friends in the Forbidden City, and the officials see that His Majesty has bought it, can they still give face?

Otherwise, with the little money of his relatives and no land, how could he be so rich.

Yan Chengjin was unmoved, his eyes were cold, as if he had a natural dislike for running chickens: "If you don't buy it, you won't be able to eat it at the student's house." ”

"Then you move the book, and the old man will ask the other adults if they want it." Zhou Yu smiled and walked away with the basket, presumably many officials gave face.

Yan Chengjin came to the cabinet to move books, and heard a familiar voice again, "Three adults, do you want chickens?" The old man's chicken is soft and smooth, crispy and fragrant, even His Majesty bought three, half a tael of silver, much more, and it can be cheaper. ”

Zhou Yu carried the basket and swaggered into the cabinet's duty room.

Even the Cabinet dares to come?

Liu Jian shouted: "This is a duty room!" Not a place to hawk on the street, you ...... What a system! ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "Of course I know that this is the duty room, and I can find you when I come to the duty room, do you want chickens?" This running chicken is much more delicious than the one raised at home, you can taste it, and you don't charge cash! ”

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang glanced at each other.

It is better to compete with the gentleman for profit than to argue with the villain.

Instead of arguing with him for a long time, it is better to buy one casually and send him away, not to mention that even His Majesty bought three.

Li Dongyang said helplessly: "The official wants one, how can I sell it?" ”

Liu Jian snorted coldly.

Xie Qian is not afraid of trouble: "The official also wants to buy it, but the official wants to ask clearly, how do you know that this chicken is really as delicious as Chang Ningbo said?" ”

Zhou Yu was angry and lifted the cloth of the basket: "You taste it!" ”

Xie Qian took a bite and nodded: "It's delicious, but it's ...... How do you prove that this chicken is the running chicken that you Chang Ningbo said? ”

What?

Zhou Yu knew that this was an angry person, and he blinded the old man with a chicken leg, and the old man himself was not willing to eat it, so he said angrily: "Don't ask the old man to buy it, the old man won't sell it to you!" ”

Immediately, he smiled at Li Dongyang and Liu Jian: "A running chicken is a tael of silver, and it is delicious." ”

Li Dongyang and Liu Jian twitched on their faces, but they still reached out and took out the silver, so they thought they were buying a clean one.

Zhou Yu thought happily in his heart, the running chicken is fresh, who has eaten it in the capital, let alone eaten, I'm afraid I haven't even heard of it, but for some reason, this meat is really delicious.

Not only can he be sold into the palace, but in the future, these officials will come to him for procurement, and he will make more money than selling salt!

Yan Chengjin took the book in the cabinet and was about to go back to Hanyuan, Li Dongyang spent a tael of silver, and he was angry, when he happened to see Yan Chengjin, he called him over, "Wenyuan Pavilion's book, how many books are there in the general head and the only book?" ”

Yan Chengjin blinked his eyes and thought for a while: "Including the three kinds of positive, miscellaneous, and class, the total number of books is 46,700 volumes, and the only book is 3,820 volumes, what do you want to ask?" ”

Li Dongyang's face froze for a moment: "You...... How can you remember it so clearly? ”

Yan Chengjin looked innocent: "Minister, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will suddenly ask." ”

Li Dongyang: ".................."

…………………………

After the duty, go back to the house,

Yan Chengjin saw Zhou Yu cating by the chicken pen, carefully counting every chicken in the cage.

Seeing Yan Chengjin, he trotted up all the way and smiled: "The virtuous nephew is back, the old man is here to borrow chickens today, and they are all captured, just enough." ”

Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought, and always felt that it was a bit unreliable to lend it to Zhou Yu, can this chicken be lent back?

"My father explained that sheep are like siblings and chickens are like clothes, so how can there be any reason to borrow clothes for others to wear and be naked."

Zhou Yu's old face twitched fiercely, and he hurriedly said: "Oh, the old man knows that the old man will definitely pay it back with his personality guarantee, the old man has a piece of land in the suburbs, which is just used to raise chickens, but he can't raise it for a while, the old man mortgages a thing, and in the future, he will pay it back!" ”

Yan Chengjin counted the silver and pressed a hundred taels of silver, Zhou Yu had already promised those officials that he would send it to the door today, and he had to buy it, so he took away all the running chickens under six months old.

but the heart rejoices.

Send the running chicken to the duty room, the fragrance of the chicken is really a must, word of mouth spreads, the running chicken is really a novelty, and it does taste different, and the officials of the six departments have set up a long-term business.

Based on the daily wages of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty, eating meat was a bit of a luxury, but it was not a problem for most officials.

Most of them have fields and shops in their hometowns, and their families are relatively wealthy.

In three or two days, Zhou Yu made the business of the Forbidden City's circle of friends bigger.

On this day, the eunuch guarding the door of the East Palace hurriedly came to Hanyuan to report to Yan Chengjin: "Lord Yan, Changningbo and Jianchangbo are fighting!" said that it was because of the running chicken given by the adult, His Majesty was furious, and he was afraid that he was going to announce you, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the slave maid to bring an edict to the adult, and let you pretend to be sick and take leave for a few days. ”

Jian Changbo suspected Chang Ningbo of robbing his business, he was originally pouring antiques for the Forbidden City's circle of friends, but the business was not good, seeing that Chang Ningbo's business was good, he was angry, so he beat Chang Ningbo.

According to Zhu Houzhao's logic, when Emperor Hongzhi was angry, he must have hid far away, and when Emperor Hongzhi was angry, he would be fine, so he sent someone to report to Yan Chengjin.

Before Yan Chengjin came back to his senses, the eunuchs of Fengtian Hall came to announce.

Yan Chengjin followed the eunuch to a side hall in the harem, and asked casually on the way, I heard that Emperor Hongzhi was going to summon the Zhang brothers and Chang Ningbo, and set up a small banquet in the palace.

When I arrived in the hall, I saw Zhou Yu alone.

The two brothers of the Zhang family are so black, he almost can't recognize Zhou Yu.

If it weren't for that dress, Yan Chengjin wouldn't have dared to call him.

"Chang Ningbo is good!"

Zhou Yu's swollen face squeezed out a smile, and he didn't care: "There is no need to be nervous, today, His Royal Highness set up a banquet and ordered me to reconcile with the two dogs of the Zhang family, the old man has long been used to it, business, there are always risks." ”

At this moment, the two people outside the door were chatting enthusiastically.

"Trillium, I see that this palace maid is beautiful, and I will be your concubine?"

"Why don't you want it? Obviously not as beautiful as my brother's concubine, I just counted all the way, and this one is really not the most beautiful. Zhang Yanling smiled sadly.

"Nonsense!"

"Brother is talking nonsense!"

Zhang Heling couldn't answer, pouted, and thought about it seriously: "I haven't counted this, I'll count it when I go back later?" ”

Zhang Yanling snickered: "Count, count!" ”
