Chapter 68: Still want to build roads without money
There was a series of fierce punches and kicks.
They all greeted Li Chengqian in the face.
Cheng Yaojin was stunned at the time.
Just looking at it, Cheng Yaojin felt his face hurt. ??
For nearly half a month after that, the prince was not seen at court.
It was said that he fell down and was ill.
A woman as tough as Li Ruoshuang was defeated by this gentle young man in front of her.
This is simply incredible.
"Lao Cheng, don't talk nonsense. Miss Ruoshuang and I are just friends." Zhao Chen explained.
"Well, they are friends. You have already taken off your clothes for others, yes, they are friends!"
"Clang!"
Cheng Yaojin really couldn't hold back this time and bumped into the table in front of him.
Are you just taking off your clothes for this girl?
What a beast!
Cheng Yaojin turned around again and looked at Zhao Chen with a different look.
He thought to himself, if Old Man Li, who was fighting on the front line, knew that his daughter's clothes had been taken off.
Will he come back to Chang'an with his troops and horses?
Thinking of this, Cheng Yaojin was also shocked.
Secretly thinking that Zhao Chen is really brave.
Zhao Chen was too lazy to explain to the two of them.
Go into the tavern and light the candle.
"Whatever General Cheng wants to eat, you have to come over and help yourself!" Zhao Chen sat down opposite Cheng Yaojin and said slowly.
"Huh?" Cheng Yaojin didn't even understand.
You come here to eat, why do you have to do it yourself?
"It's okay, old man. I'll go help in the kitchen. You sit here and rest!" Cheng Chumo said quickly.
How dare he ask Cheng Yaojin to help while he is sitting here.
And he still had something to talk to Zhao Chen.
…
"Brother, my old man bought a hundred kilograms of ice cubes before, but found that the price of ice cubes plummeted the next day. He was so angry that he didn't even go to the court meeting today."
"Don't anger him again later. Look at my face, it was all beaten by the old man."
In the kitchen, Cheng Chumo said bitterly to Zhao Chen.
Only then did Zhao Chen notice that his face was blue and purple.
It was obvious that he had been punched and kicked.
"You are so old, and your old man still beats you?" Zhao Chen asked with a smile while cooking.
"Don't mention it, I've been fighting since I was young." Cheng Chumo looked bitter and shook his head.
"I can help you!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"Really?" Cheng Chumo stood up excitedly.
Cheng Chumo felt that Zhao Chen was very powerful, much more powerful than all the ministers in the court.
He said the price of ice would fall, and the price of ice fell the next day.
If Zhao Chen said he could help him, then he must be...
Are you finally out of trouble?
Cheng Chumo was extremely excited and secretly wondered why he didn't meet Zhao Chen earlier.
"Brother, if you help me this time, you will be my biological brother from now on." Cheng Chumo patted his chest, showing determination.
Zhao Chen just smiled slightly but did not speak.
…
Half an hour later, the two came out from the back kitchen carrying several dishes.
Cheng Yaojin had been hungry for a long time.
He had heard Cheng Chumo say several times that the food here was particularly delicious.
So I came here without even having dinner at home.
"Hey, is this braised pork?" Cheng Yaojin's expression changed when he saw the greasy braised pork on the plate.
"Yes, it's braised pork." Zhao Chen nodded with a smile.
Xindao Lao Li Tou, as an imperial merchant, must have reported this matter.
Cheng Yaojin had seen it before, so it was normal, and he might have eaten it.
Zhao Chen thought it was normal, but Cheng Yaojin didn't think so.
His Majesty the Emperor only talked about the method of deodorizing pork that day, as well as the portrait of Empress Changsun, and the magical calligraphy, all done by one person.
But he never said anything specific.
who is it!
Cheng Yaojin looked at the braised pork in front of him and immediately understood in his heart that the person in His Majesty's mouth was Zhao Chen in front of him.
"I want to try it first." Cheng Yaojin suppressed the doubts in his heart, picked up the chopsticks and took a piece.
"Yeah! It's so delicious!" Cheng Yaojin was filled with excitement.
This is much more delicious than what I had at Tai Chi Hall before.
"General Cheng, I see old Cheng's face is bruised and purple, what happened?" Zhao Chen said to Cheng Yaojin with a smile.
"Well, this kid didn't remind me earlier, so I bought a hundred kilograms of ice at twice the price."
"Zhao Chen, you don't know that I don't even dare to go to court today. Those bastards will definitely mock me about this."
"I'm so angry that I naturally want to take it out on this idiot." Cheng Yaojin cursed vaguely.
Cheng Chumo sat aside, his face full of grievance, and he didn't dare to say anything at all. ??
Zhao Chen glanced at the two of them and smiled secretly in his heart.
"Actually, General Cheng, money is not everything..."
"Shit, boy Zhao, you are still young and don't know the importance of money. Let me tell you, if the treasury were not empty, would Your Majesty be willing to sell the ice cubes used to protect you from the summer heat?"
"It's difficult for a rich man to be a man without money!" Cheng Yaojin said with a groan.
Although he was very curious about how Zhao Chen knew that the price of ice would plummet.
But Zhao Chen's remarks just now were obviously the thoughts of young people.
I have never experienced severe beatings from society, so I think money is not that important!
"Even if General Cheng said this, I also think that many great things can be accomplished without money." Zhao Chen looked at Cheng Yaojin with a smile, not feeling angry at all for his contempt.
"Oh? Then tell me, what else can you do without money?" Cheng Yaojin was a little curious now.
"Well, what can you do if you don't have money?" Zhao Chen looked thoughtful.
Cheng Yaojin bit into the braised pork and looked at Zhao Chen jokingly.
You have no money, do you still want to do this or that?
Aren't you thinking about shit?
\u003e
"By the way, if I don't have money, I can still build roads. It's not much, so I'll just build the Suzaku Avenue."
"Pfft——"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
As soon as Zhao Chen finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin burst out laughing.
Tears of laughter came out.
"Boy Zhao, aren't you crazy?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Zhao Chen with a smile, "Do you know how much it costs to build the Suzaku Avenue?"
"One million bottoms!"
"No money? You can't even lay a stone slab without money."
Cheng Yaojin had a joking expression on his face.
He secretly thought that he should keep his boys away from Zhao Chen in the future.
Is this person obviously a lunatic?
Cheng Chumo also opened his mouth several times, wanting to speak.
Isn't Zhao Chen joking with him?
It costs nothing to build roads. Do you think someone will help you for free?
He also thought that Zhao Chen could help him convince the old man not to beat him again in the future, but it was probably out of the question now.
"Oh? What if someone really can build the Suzaku Avenue without spending a penny?" Zhao Chen looked at Cheng Yaojin with a smile and said slowly.
Zhao Chen had told Old Li Tou about this matter.
With Mr. Li's nature of reporting everything, this method will definitely reach the ears of the sages of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhao Chen didn't believe that the saint would not be tempted at all.
It is estimated that something will be done in the next two days.
It's just that Zhao Chen didn't know that Lao Li Tou didn't need to report it, but just did it himself.
How dare you believe Cheng Yaojin?
I have never heard of someone building an entire Suzaku Avenue without spending a penny.
That's at least a million dollars in expenditure.
Only everyone would be crazy to build this road.
Even His Majesty the Emperor would never dare to act like this!
"If it's true as you said, someone can build the Suzaku Avenue without spending a penny, and then someone will eat this plate." Cheng Yaojin said firmly.
