Before dawn, Wang Fu had already dressed up early, and came to the front yard to check the things on the car one by one, the car was full of freshly killed mutton, all of which had to be sent to the palace, as a butcher designated by the palace food supervisor, Wang Fu has also maintained a cautious attitude for more than ten years, for fear that the mutton sent to the palace would make a mistake, and it would be a trivial matter to lose his job, and maybe he would be convicted for it.

"Which lamb is this, why hasn't even the blood been cleaned?" Soon Wang Fu found out that there was a problem with a cart of mutton, and immediately asked with a straight face. Although Wang Fu is a butcher, he is not a butcher, the meat is slaughtered by the various butchers of his family, and if there is a problem, he will directly return the meat.

The steward next to him also immediately ran up at this time, looked at the mark on the car, and then replied: "Master, this is the mutton of Sun Yidao's family outside the city." ”

"Alas~, I don't have to say anything about Lao Sun's skill in killing sheep, but it's a pity that his ability to teach his son is too poor, it seems that Sun Yidao's name is absolutely amazing to his son!" Wang Fu also sighed at the moment and said, Sun Yidao is a nickname, it is said that killing sheep and pigs is just one knife, never using a second knife, the skill is quite clever, but unfortunately he died at the beginning of this year, so he was replaced by his son, but his son's craftsmanship is too bad, these muttons have not even been cleaned of blood, and sending them to the palace will definitely affect him.

"Master, then these mutton ......" The steward said with some embarrassment at this time, according to the rules, these mutton must be beaten back, and the butcher will bear the loss, but looking at his own master's appearance, it seems that he misses that Sun Yidao a lot.

"This cart of mutton will be left at home to eat by yourself, and the money will still be given to the Sun family, but you tell them that it is only this once, and if the mutton is still like this next time, then Lao Sun's face will not work!" Wang Fu pondered for a moment and immediately commanded.

The steward immediately agreed, and then asked people to pull the cart of mutton to the back kitchen, as for the lack of a cart of mutton, it doesn't matter, because the mutton they send to the palace will generally prepare more, mainly because they are afraid of encountering this kind of problem, after all, the palace needs a fixed amount of mutton every day, and it is not okay to have less.

At that moment, Wang Fu checked the mutton again, and then put his mind at ease after confirming that there were no other problems, he has insisted on this kind of thing for more than ten years, which also makes him never have any problems with the mutton in the palace, so he can always be the designated butcher merchant in the palace.

Of course, in addition to providing mutton to the palace, some big restaurants in Tokyo will also buy mutton from Wang Fu, and the price is certainly not cheap, after all, although the price of mutton for the palace is high, the cost is also high, but the money is not much, and the real money is actually his name of the royal mutton, and the mutton that those restaurants want is the big one.

At this time, the sky was just bright, but the snow was falling heavier, Wang Fu rubbed his old waist and came to the small hall next to him to roast the fire to drive away the cold, and after a while, he heard the sound of a carriage outside, which made him hurriedly come out to greet him, and sure enough, he saw a big eunuch walking in with the support of several small attendants.

"Chang Gao class, you are here, the mutton is ready this time, do you want to test it?" Wang Fu stepped forward with a smile on his face at this time and saluted the big eunuch, Gao Ban is one of the official positions of the inner servant, although the grade is not high, but it is one of the inner servants of the grade, mainly in charge of the purchase of the Shang Food Supervisor, and he is also an old acquaintance for more than ten years.

"Brother Wang, I can still rest assured that you are doing something, the mutton that passes through your hands, if there is a problem, it is called a strange thing." Chang Gaoban also smiled at this time, and was immediately invited by Wang Fu to the small hall next to him to drink tea and rest.

Although Chang Gaoban is not of high grade, he has a lot of power, especially for businessmen like Wang Fu, who are responsible for worshipping the needs of the palace, Chang Gaoban is the person they need to knot, but now Chang Gaoban is old, and he usually doesn't go out of the palace much, but today is different, because it is almost the New Year now, and today is also the day to settle the bill once a year, so Wang Fu has long expected that Chang Gaoban will come, and good tea has been prepared in the hall.

I saw Chang Gaoban take a sip of tea, and chatted with Wang Fu for a few more words, and then got to the point: "Brother Wang, according to the rules of the palace, our accounts are settled once a year, and I brought this year's account book, can you take a look at the number?" ”

Chang Gaoban said and took out an account book from his sleeve and handed it over, Wang Fu also hurriedly took it, looked at it and immediately smiled: "Shang Shijian's accounts are still so clear, the number will definitely not be wrong!" ”

"Okay, since there is no problem, then I will settle the money!" I saw Chang Gaoban suddenly smiled at this time, but Wang Fu didn't notice it, and the other party's smile seemed to be a little weird.

Hearing that he was going to settle the bill, Wang Fu immediately looked at the door, because according to his experience, at this time of year, Chang Gaoban would bring a large number of belongings, including copper coins and gold and silver, which generally needed to be carried in by the small attendants, but today, Chang Gaoban seemed to have a little less attendants?

However, what Wang Fu didn't expect was that the door didn't come in at all, but Chang Gaoban suddenly reached out and took out a stack of thick paper from his arms and put it in front of him and said with a smile: "You click on it and see if the number is right?" ”

"Jiaozi?" Wang Fu looked at the stack of banknotes in front of him and couldn't help frowning and said, he usually uses Jiaozi occasionally when doing business, and the amount is generally not large, but the account in the palace for a year is not a small amount, and it is the first time he has seen so many Jiaozi.

"This is not called Jiaozi, but money, not only for you, but for all the future accounts in and out of the palace will be settled with money, and you only need to take it to the Tokyo money store on Xijiaomen Street, and you can exchange it for copper money at any time." Chang Gaoban looked at Wang Fu's surprised appearance, and couldn't help but smile at the moment, in fact, he was also a little suspicious of money, but the top commanded it, and they could only do it.

Wang Fu had never even heard of this banknote, and he wanted not to accept it, but Chang Gaoban was not the person he dared to offend, so he had to grit his teeth and smile in desperation: "I see, but this is really the first time I have heard of this banknote, since it can be used in the palace, I am afraid it has a lot of origin, right?" ”

"I don't know about this, but I heard that it was an order from the queen, and those of us below can only do it, but I heard that it can indeed be exchanged for copper coins, if you are not at ease, you can go directly to exchange money after dawn, there should be no problem, after all, this is related to the face of the palace." Chang Gaoban also saw Wang Fu's suspicions, and kindly reminded him at the moment.
