Chapter 31 [The first shrewd man of the Tang Dynasty]
“Where is out of the outdoor room?”
Lao Cheng's eyes lit up and he felt that his wife had some truth.
However, Lao Cheng shook his head and pondered and said, "The generation of King Zhao of Xifu is a master of the generation. He only knows how to fight and fight in his life. He has no interest in raising the outdoor room, nor has time to raise the outdoor room..."
Mrs. Cheng had a different opinion and continued to speculate: "If it is not an outdoor room, it may also be a confidante. The King of Zhao in the West is invincible in the world, and is actually the most powerful hero of the Sui and Tang dynasties. A great hero like him who has only produced one for five hundred years is born with a temperament that attracts girls!"
Lao Cheng listened carefully.
Mrs. Cheng became more and more confident as she spoke, and then said: "Even if he is unintentional about men and women, he will still be chased by the girls. He has been with the army for many years, and maybe he will be caught by the girls somewhere, and they will be in love and keep them."
Old Cheng thought something.
Mrs. Cheng suddenly remembered something again and quickly added: "I also asked our child that his master is from Hebei. Cheng Zhijie, I ask you, when King Zhao of the Western Palace swept the world, did he also conquer a place in Hebei?"
Old Cheng was stunned and murmured: "It actually comes from Hebei..."
Mrs. Cheng said again: "Also, our child said that he was born with divine power. You were there when you said this, and you wouldn't forget it so quickly."
...
Lao Cheng suddenly took a deep breath and said, "After so many evidence, I am really sure."
Mrs. Cheng suddenly became excited and said hurriedly: "What are you waiting for? Please come into the mansion quickly. This is the son of King Zhao of the Western Palace. Maybe he will be another new war god."
"No hurry!"
Old Cheng waved his hand, his rough face flashed with cleverness, and he pondered: "Be arrogant before doing things, then respectful, and first with three malice. Such things cannot be too purposeful, otherwise they will lose the meaning of getting to know each other."
Mrs. Cheng was a little anxious and said, "Will other families snatch the lead? You are more than the Duke of the Tang Dynasty."
Old Cheng suddenly grinned and said proudly: "Just grab it, who can rob me Cheng Yaojin? I have already left a foreshadowing, and I have made a bet with him."
Mrs. Cheng frowned at first, then suddenly realized, her little hand suddenly covered her mouth, and said with a look of surprise: "Are you referring to our child's apprenticeship?"
Old Cheng chuckled and said with a smile: "If it weren't for this, I'm full? As the founding Duke of the State, how could I bet with a refugee? To tell you the truth, when I saw him at first, I had already made up my mind to take action. I don't care if he is the son of King Zhao, I'll have a date or not. Do you know what this is called? It's called planning ahead and winning a thousand miles away. Hum, don't be so surprised. This is all my ability to Cheng Yaojin..."
Mrs. Cheng smiled and said, "You bad old man, you're very bad."
...
Lao Cheng suddenly changed his style and pondered: "This matter is still a silent situation. The brat has been in a state of mind for fifteen years. He never did good things, and he dared not do bad things. I originally thought that this child was useless, so he beat him just to try it again. Unexpectedly, when the storm comes, this kid actually made contributions to his family. Tsk, what is this? In the words of the sectarian gang of Turkic men on the grassland, this is called the posture of a native dog turning into a wolf..."
Mrs. Cheng was unhappy and suddenly reached out to grab Lao Cheng's ear and said angrily: "That is the flesh that fell from my body, and it is also the seed of your Cheng Zhijie. What kind of native dog and wild wolf? It sounds like a piercing ear. My son is called a blessing general. Do you understand the blessing general?"
Lao Cheng smiled and said very stinkyly: "Blessings are also my seeds. Without my hard work, no matter how good the fields are, they cannot grow good crops."
This is the teasing words of the old couple.
Mrs. Cheng glanced at him and cursed with a smile: "You bad old man, look how beautiful you are."
Suddenly he chuckled and grabbed Lao Cheng Yijiao and said, "It's time to do sex after the business is done. Does your waist still hurt? Go to my room to try it. I personally give you soft and wait for you to sleep well all night!"
One night?
Do you want my life?
Old Cheng looked pale and said hurriedly: "I still have some serious things to do for my husband. Madam, don't be lustful. Your distant third brother hasn't left yet, let's go and talk to him about something."
As he said that, he hurriedly raised his foot and rushed into the mansion.
Later, Mrs. Cheng was so angry that she bit her teeth and said angrily: "The Cui family was just smashed into the warehouse. What are you going to do to him?"
Old Cheng didn't look back and replied loudly: "Our Cheng family has to handle the matter of credit. The child and Chumo are preparing to do business, so they can't always let them smash and loot. Thousands of iron pots involved, but they are not allowed to do it on credit. Therefore, the money must be paid by the Cheng family. You can't wait for the Cui family to gossip, that would be too late. I, Cheng Zhijie, can't afford to lose this person."
Mrs. Cheng was very anxious and chased after him and said, "Thousands and thousands of iron pots can cost at least two or three thousand guan. Cheng Zhijie, are you crazy? Do you know how much money your house has? Our family can't afford two thousand guan."
"Then sell the house and the land!"
Old Cheng waved his hand domineeringly and said in a deep voice: "Today I understand the child's hint, and vaguely thought about some of the things here."
Mrs. Cheng was slightly stunned and said in surprise: "What did that child hint at you? Why don't I remember?"
Lao Cheng looked at her and snorted: "A woman is a woman. No matter how smart she is, she can only act arrogantly at home. Please remind you for your husband, remember what he said when he bet with me!"
"What's the matter?"
"In three months, my Cheng family will be the richest man in the Duke of Chang'an."
Mrs. Cheng was a little puzzled and said curiously: "What is the saying?"
Old Cheng smashed his mouth and pondered, "I think about it for my husband. I'm afraid the child is calling me. He is hinting us that as long as my Cheng family pays for him to pay the debt, then his property will be distributed to us, and in three months, he will be paid."
Mrs. Cheng smiled and said indifferently: "Do you really believe that his industry makes money? I heard from our family that they are going to fish, but they don't sell it after they catch it, they have to keep it for pickling, and then they sell salted fish all over the streets."
The implication is self-evident without saying it, it clearly means that selling salted fish will not make much money.
But Old Cheng looked solemn and suddenly said, "I think this industry is really profitable."
"Are you stupid?" Mrs. Cheng glanced at him.
Old Cheng hummed gently, his rough old face was shrewd, and suddenly he looked around carefully, lowered his voice and leaned into Mrs. Cheng's ear, and said, "Salt is necessary to pickle salted fish."
Mrs. Cheng was stunned at first, then screamed.
"My God, salt?"
Old Cheng covered her mouth and whispered: "Speak softly, don't let your distant third brother hear it. This matter can only be taken by our Cheng family. No matter which aristocratic family, they will not allow it. Even Cui family in Qinghe must secretly hide it."
After saying that, he saw the lady nodding repeatedly, and then he carefully left her mouth and whispered: "Salt is very expensive, countless times more expensive than fish, but the child wants to use salt to pickle salted fish. If it is just like this, then I just think that it is a child who doesn't know money, but he bet with me in front of everyone, saying that my Cheng family will be rich and powerful in three months..."
Mrs. Cheng's eyes shone brightly, and she vaguely guessed what Old Cheng was referring to.
