Promised quickly.

It even surprised Li Er a little.

But seeing Chen Chu's serious face, Li Er felt that this matter was reliable.

As he said that, he saw Chen Chu pick up the chopsticks and start scooping up the cooked slices of meat in the pot, and ate them in two or three bites, looking satisfied.

Li Er said unhappily: "Boy Chen, I know that during the time when the meat was cut off in Chang'an City, you had three meals a day and every meal had meat, why did you come to me to grab the meat..."

Chen Chu said distressedly: "I can't do it if I don't grab it. With your order, Father, I will lose a lot of money. If I don't eat some meat to make up for it, how will I live in the future..."

Li Er: "..."

……

When Chen Chu returned to the vicinity of Chunming Gate, he immediately asked for Cheng Chubi to be found.

Cheng Chubi said: "Uncle, why don't we sell all the meat at a high price, anyway, what His Majesty said is starting tomorrow, there is still time today..."

At such a young age, Cheng Chubi felt that His Majesty Li Er was doing things unfairly.

Seeing that the great opportunity to make a fortune is gone, he is not happy in his heart.

Chen Chu waved his hand: "No way, Chu Bi, you have to understand one truth, that is, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, don't worry, your uncle and I are not fools, how can we do such loss-making things, since I Promise father, I naturally have a solution..."

Cheng Chubi's eyes lit up, he leaned over and asked, "Uncle, what can I do?"

Chen Chu explained in a low voice.

Cheng Chubi flew away.

Before leaving, he was full of joy, sweeping away the discouraged look before.

……

The next morning.

Ganlu Temple.

Li Er happily looked at Changsun Wuji and the others, and asked, "Auxiliary machine, have you ever heard that the price of meat in the East and West cities has dropped?"

Changsun Wuji nodded: "Your Majesty, the servants in the mansion have already mentioned this matter early this morning, saying that Chen Chu has made those butcher shops lower their prices with great fanfare. Now, everyone in Chang'an City knows that the price of meat has dropped... "

Fang Xuanling said: "This is a good thing..."

Li Er hummed, and said: "My dear friends, I have nothing to do today, and the ice and snow are melting. Why don't you go to Dongshi with me to have a look?"

Of course everyone readily agreed.

……

Chapter 204

East City.

A place at the mouth of an alley.

Crowded.

Originally, this place was far away from the entrance of Dongshi, so it was very deserted.

Even if some unscrupulous businessman rents the store again, it will close within a few months.

Just because it is so deserted, few people will come here.

But now, because there are three butcher shops, people come here in droves.

From a long distance, you can see a long queue outside three butcher shops.

Not long after, a few people dressed in plain clothes came nearby.

The leader is Li Er.

Behind him are Changsun Wuji, Wang Gui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others.

The crowd just followed Li Er to see if Chen Chu's butcher shop really lowered the price.

Li Er said in front of everyone: "If Chen Chu dares not to lower the price, I will not spare him."

At this time, I saw an old man running over happily, holding a leg of lamb in his hand, his face was flushed, and he was very happy.

Li Er hurriedly stopped the other party and asked, "Old man, how much did you pay for this mutton? How does the price compare to before?"

The old man said happily: "The price is very cheap. Compared with before, it has dropped by twice. I heard that Mr. Chen Chu is kind-hearted, and he can't see that everyone can't eat meat, so he specially lowered the price. Otherwise, , I can't buy so much meat with my little money..."

A few more middle-aged people walked by.

Several people said: "Then Mr. Chen Chu, who is simply a first-class kind person in the world, actually lowered the price of meat at this time. Originally, he could only buy meat for one day, but now he can buy it for several days..."

"Yes, Mr. Chen Chu, just like a living Bodhisattva!"

"Good man!"

Everyone who passed by praised Chen Chu.

Li Er and others, you look at me, I look at you.

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, you clearly asked Chen Chu to do this meat price reduction, but these stupid people actually think that Chen Chu is kind... This matter, alas..."

After all, Changsun Wuji didn't know how to describe it.

It doesn't feel right anyway!

Li Er waved his hand: "As long as the common people can eat meat, there is nothing wrong with Chen Chu having a good reputation. I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and I am ordered by the heavens. How can I envy Chen Chu because of this."

He said that he was not envious, but his heart was actually a little sour.

Could it be that handsome people are more popular?

Li Er thought about it and said, "Since we're here, let's line up to buy some meat and see if the price of meat has really dropped."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Li Er and his friends started to line up.

Soon, it will be their turn.

But the guy said: "Several, I'm sorry, today's meat is sold out, come back tomorrow, same as today, the limit is [-] catties... If you come early, you can buy it early, if you come later, it will be gone."

Li Er and the others were taken aback.

Afterwards, Li Er asked unhappily: "According to what you said, your shop only sells one thousand catties a day?"

The clerk said, "That's right, our shopkeeper said that every catty of meat sold will cost tens of pennies. He feels distressed, so it's enough for each shop to sell a thousand catties a day..."

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but said: "After all, you have to lose. It's the same if you lose sooner or later. Why do you do this?"

The guy smiled and said, "My guest, what you said is also reasonable, but our shopkeeper said that everyone dies when they die early, so why choose to die later than die early..."

Everyone looked at each other.

This guy speaks quite well.

It's not easy to refute.

Li Er led the people away depressedly.

He found out that he was fooled.

At that time, he just agreed with Chen Chu that the price of meat must be lowered, but he didn't say how much meat he had to sell every day.

To tell the truth, each butcher's shop is a lot more than a thousand catties a day.

But it didn't meet Li Er's expectations.

Next to him, Wei Zheng said curiously: "What is Chen Chu doing this for? Why is it one thousand catties instead of two thousand catties?"

Everyone thought about it carefully, but they didn't have any clues.

At this moment, a fat woman suddenly appeared next to him.

The kind that looks very aggressive, with a bucket waist and a thick neck.

It's not easy to mess with at first glance.

The woman leaned over and asked quietly: "Guys, do you want to buy meat?"

Li Er was curious, so he nodded.

The woman said: "I have meat here, but the price is a bit expensive."

Li Er asked, "What's the price?"

The woman pointed to the butcher shops that sold out of meat, and said, "It's three times more expensive than that, but you can buy as many as you want, and if the price is high, you can still buy live meat..."

Changsun Wuji snorted coldly: "Who doesn't know, there is no meat to sell in Chang'an City, how can you have meat to sell?"

The woman didn't speak, but stood directly in front of Changsun Wuji.

At close range, she was a head taller than Changsun Wuji.

Then, she suddenly reached out to untie her clothes.

Changsun Wuji was frightened at once, and hurriedly shouted: "You, you... what are you doing, broad daylight, don't mess around..."

He was not afraid of what this shrew would do, but once word got out, his eldest grandson Wuji's reputation would be ruined.

wow.

The woman unbuttoned her clothes and pulled them aside.

Changsun Wuji was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes.

Oops, hot eyes.

The woman grabbed his hand and groped it into his arms.

Changsun Wuji's complexion changed drastically, and he was about to struggle when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

He managed to open his eyes and saw that there was a piece of high-quality lean lamb leg in the woman's clothes.

It really has meat!

Everyone hurriedly gathered around, staring at the chicken inside the woman's clothes.

There is even lamb kidney that everyone likes to eat.

The woman stretched out her clothes, big ones.

Said: "It's all fresh meat, freshly killed!"

Li Er and the others surrounded him, all of them staring wide-eyed.

Everyone touched it with their hands, nodded at the end, and confirmed: "It really is fresh, it tastes delicious..."

Two old men walked by, saw this scene, quickly covered their eyes with their hands, and said sadly: "Oh, it's indecent, it's indecent, a bunch of shameless..."

Saying that, the two hurried away, walked far away, and still didn't forget to turn around and point at Li Er and the others.

Li Er and the others blushed.

They quickly sent the woman away.

Li Er said nothing.

He wanted to understand something.

That boy Chen Chun sells meat in limited quantities.

But here, high-priced meat is open for sale.

In this way, Chen Chu would not lose at all, but could still make money.

this kid...

Li Er was a little angry.

The ministers also probably guessed Chen Chu's purpose.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin, who was standing next to him, slapped his thigh and suddenly realized: "It turns out that there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom..."

In fact, Cheng Yaojin had heard this sentence a long time ago.

It's just that he couldn't figure it out.

Now, he understands.
