Chapter 110: Find a way to make money

"These guys are also bold, if they are heard by the prison historian who is secretly patrolling, they will inevitably have to eat a meal of flesh and skin!" A soldier said, staring at the backs of several people.

"No matter what those things were, when the Qin and Chu wars began, what if you and I exchanged our lives for a few points of military merit, now we don't suffer every day, and we can't get a few stones of food and salary all year round, so it's not as good as these businessmen." Another soldier said with some dissatisfaction.

"Also, why meddle!" Several of the soldiers nodded together.

Chen Xu is naturally not interested in these messy things, the people are not happy, as long as Win Da reigns for a day, everyone has to hold their tails, his prestige shocks the past and the present, no one dares to stir up trouble when he is still alive, Chen Xu is thinking about where to get some money to watch gladiatorial competitions, because these gladiatorial competitions are games, that is, you can bet.

After understanding the dark operation of the Fucai and Sports Lottery,Chen Xu is still very interested in this kind of live betting activities,But to bet on the capital,At present, five people have all the money left to only eighteen dollars.

What can Nima do with all this money?

Chen Xu looked at the eighteen copper coins neatly stacked in front of him, and asked with a slight twitch on his face: "You really don't have any money on you?" ”

Several of the soldiers were also a little embarrassed and shook their heads together.

"Lord Ridian, we were in a hurry the day before yesterday, and we really didn't bring too much money!" One of the soldiers explained with a dry smile.

In fact, they don't have much money on weekdays, and occasionally get a few money, either lose the pot guess or use it to subsidize the family.

"If you want to go to the game, you have to earn a sum of money, how many of you ...... like this" Chen Xu commanded, and several soldiers glared at each other a few times after listening, and then nodded and left with the money.

"Shopkeeper, come here!" Chen Xu beckoned to the owner of the foot shop.

"My lord, what do you call me?" The shopkeeper is a short and fat middle-aged man in his forties, and he has heard a few soldiers shouting Lord Chen Xu Lidian just now, so naturally he doesn't dare to slack off, although an official of Lidian's level grabs a lot of money in Wancheng, but ordinary people are still afraid.

"Do you have any spices such as green onions, ginger, garlic and peppercorns in this store?"

"Yes~" The store nodded again and again, opening a restaurant These common seasonings are naturally not lacking.

"Would you like to prepare some for me?"

"Okay~" The shopkeeper nodded again.

"Can you help me prepare another ten pounds...... Well, twenty pounds of fat and lean meat? ”

"My lord, there isn't so much meat in the store, only two or three catties of minced meat!" The shopkeeper didn't know what Chen Xu was going to do, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only answer hesitantly.

"No, minced meat, you can help me buy some, by the way, what kind of meat is the cheapest?"

"The cheapest is naturally mutton, but the smell is very strong, and now the weather is not very popular, and the pork meat is slightly more expensive, but there are river shrimp are also cheap, I don't know if adults want it?"

"Forget about the shrimp, the half-fat and half-lean mutton will help me buy twenty ...... Well, thirty pounds, I didn't bring any money today, you help me put it on first, and I will pay you back tomorrow! ”

"This ......" shopkeeper has a toothache, thirty catties of mutton, how can it cost more than 100 yuan, what if Chen Xu runs away tomorrow and doesn't pay back?

Chen Xu touched it on his waist, took out a piece of exquisite mutton fat jade and put it on the desk, "This jade pendant is worth four thousand yuan, I will mortgage it to you first, if I don't come to pay it back tomorrow, this jade pendant will be yours, how about it?" ”

Although the shopkeeper is just a foot shop owner, he is also a person who has seen the world in a big city, and he can see that this jade pendant is worth a lot of money, so he quickly weighed it in his heart and nodded quickly, and then put away the jade pendant and arranged for the two teenagers to go out to sell meat.

"The jade pendant is very valuable, you have to keep it properly, if you damage it tomorrow, you know the consequences!" Chen Xu was a little distressed.

"Don't worry, it won't be damaged!" The store promised again and again, and at the same time, he also hoped that Chen Xu would not come back tomorrow to repay the money, because what Chen Xu said just now The two clerks also heard it clearly, if Chen Xu did not come back tomorrow and regretted it, if he went to sue the official, Chen Xu would be compensated even if he was in the ceremony, Qin Lu's handling of this kind of thing was very complete, and Chen Xu would lose the lawsuit if it was fought in Xianyang.

"That's good, go and prepare the seasoning and salt I just said, by the way, there is soy sauce?"

"There is no soy sauce, but there is a succumb, I don't know if it is in it?"

Although it is not soy sauce, soy sauce is also made by soybean fermentation, but the process is different, and the results are not the same

"You can also use it, help me prepare, and prepare two clean clay pots, one large and one small, and lend me a kitchen to use!"

"Okay, my lord, please come with me!"

Under the leadership of the shopkeeper, Chen Xu followed him to the inner room.

This foot shop is actually also the house where the store lives, the front is the shop, the diners rest and eat, there are a few rooms in the back, there is a small yard of dozens of square meters, the cooking stove is placed in the open air, there are things cooking on it, and there is a hut used to store rice and meat vegetables, very small, only five or six square meters, when I went in, there was a woman and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who were washing rice and picking vegetables, and there were several clay pots and clay pots of all sizes on the ground, and a pot really put a few catties of minced meat.

"You guys go out first, this Lord Riden wants to use the kitchen!" The shopkeeper gave an order, and the woman and the girl quickly stood up, and looked at Chen Xu with a look of surprise while carefully exiting.

I've never seen such a small Lidian, and he even needs to use the kitchen, doesn't he say that the gentleman is far away from the kitchen?

"My lord, these seasonings are here, green onions, ginger, garlic, peppers, mustard...... You can use it as you like, and the meat will be bought back and sent here for you, the villain is outside, and you need to call it! The shopkeeper pointed to a wooden shelf, pointed out all the ingredients to Chen Xu, and then withdrew.

Chen Xu took a brief look, the onions, ginger and garlic are still fresh, it is estimated that they just got it back today, there are also peppercorns, and there is a small jar of yellow mustard in addition to the spicy seasoning, which makes him happy, the spicy taste of mustard is much purer than dogwood.

Seeing Chen Xu busy in the kitchen, using a wooden mortar pestle for a while, cutting with a knife for a while, Ding Ling clanged endlessly, the woman and the shopkeeper standing in the courtyard looked at each other, the girl sneaked to the kitchen door and secretly looked inside, her face was full of curiosity.

"Uncle Dong, the mutton has been bought~" Two teenagers in short shorts each walked in with a large piece of meat and shouted loudly.

After Chen Xu took the mutton, he closed the kitchen door, cut the mutton into half-inch square lumps with a knife, and then put it in a large clay pot and marinated it with salt, croquin and black bean sauce and chopped green onions, ginger and garlic.

By the time Chen Xu finished it, almost an hour had passed.
