The days when I was working in the West Factory

Chapter 178 Yusheng
Following Zhao Yu's words, everyone turned their eyes to the plaque in the center of the tea room.

While everyone was waiting for Zhao Yu to speak, that guy got up, took the brocade box from Erha's hand, and put the plaque back.

Everyone was a little puzzled.

But Zhao Yu said with a smile: "All of you are well-known and respected businessmen in the capital, so it's not justified to invite you to come here only with tea."

Zhao Yu looked up at Jin Yichuan who was standing at the stairs, and nodded slightly.

Jin Yichuan saw this.Turned around and left the tea room.

Just when everyone was wondering what this guy was up to, Zhao Yu explained with a smile: "Everyone has a big business, and you have experienced all kinds of delicacies, and the envoy of this town has nothing to offer to entertain you all." .”

"Your Majesty the Fushi is being polite, your cup of clear tea is more precious than any delicacies from mountains and seas!"

"That's right, Jin Yiwei's Beisi Governor gave us tea, that's a blessing that we can't cultivate in a few lifetimes!"

……

Or they are all businessmen!

In the blood-stained tea room, a cup of worthless tea was blown like nothing in the sky or anything on earth.

Zhao Yu waved his hands, and then said mysteriously: "Everyone is knowledgeable, so you naturally know the allusion that Zhang Zi met Zhaowen with fish, right?"

They didn't know what kind of medicine Zhao Yu bought in the gourd, but they still nodded.

"Today, the governor of Japan also learns from the sages, and entertains all volunteers with fish!"

As Zhao Yu said, the former Jin Yichuan went back and forth, still holding a golden carp weighing eight or nine catties in his hand.

In early winter, this kind of fresh carp is rare.

The giant merchants also stared at the golden carp in Jin Yichuan's hands curiously, not knowing which one Zhao Yu sang about.

Zhao Yu turned around and sat back at the main seat, and then signaled Jin Yichuan to put the carp on the table in the center of the tea room.

After all this was done, Zhao Yu smiled and asked those rich merchants: "Everyone knows, what is the most important thing about this Yusheng?"

Although everyone didn't know what Zhao Yu was going to do, but the governor asked, they couldn't keep silent.

"Yusheng emphasizes the original taste, so the carp itself is the most important!"

"That's right, the way of fish is fresh and alive. Look at the one that Lord Zhen Fushi found, it is top grade!"

Everyone expresses their own opinions, and what they say is logical.

Zhao Yu shook his head with a smile, and then under the suspicious eyes of everyone, he took out a scimitar as thin as a cicada's wing and threw it at Jin Yichuan.

"What everyone said is reasonable, but the most important thing in the way of fish life is knife skills!"

As soon as Zhao Yu's words fell, Jin Yichuan, who caught the blood knife, struck like flying.

The blood knife itself pays attention to lightness and strangeness, the knife is like lightning, and the knife is like a light stroke.

Jin Yichuan's talent in martial arts is not low, and the double knives he uses are more suitable for blood knives.

Therefore, among all Zhao Yu's subordinates, Jin Yichuan's blood knife skills are the most pure.

After a stick of incense, that golden carp was hacked into pieces by Jin Yichuan!

But to everyone's horror, the golden carp whose meat had been picked clean still had its gills moving and its mouth open.

Zhao Yu ordered someone to bring a bowl of clear water and put the golden carp in it.

Except for the head, the carp, with only a skeleton left, can still swim in the clear water with its tail.

sizzle...

The giant merchants gasped and glanced at the scimitar in Jin Yichuan's hand with lingering fear.

It was only now that they reacted.

How could this little boy invite them to eat some ghost fish!This is blatantly threatening them.

The next thing is to see who gets the plaque bestowed by the emperor, and if this happens in the middle, they must tell them that if Zhao Yu is not satisfied, it will not be this golden carp that was cut off!

"Everyone, please!"

Zhao Yu ordered people to divide the fish meat sliced ​​by Jin Yichuan into several portions and put them in front of several giant merchants.

"This carp is used to make yusheng. It has an earthy smell. It needs to be kept in clean water for a few days. After the earthy smell is removed, the yusheng will be fresh and sweet..."

Zhao Yu picked up a piece of thin to transparent fish with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and said while tasting.

Earthy?

When the giant merchants who were brave enough to pick up the fish meat heard Zhao Yu's words, they all subconsciously glanced at the long brocade box placed beside Zhao Yu.

Smelling the disgusting smell of blood emanating from Uncle Yongqing's neck, everyone finished the feast of raw fish like chewing wax.

After the fish was finished eating, Zhao Yu took out the plaque given by the emperor again, and placed it in front of the wealthy people.

It is the nature of businessmen to seek profit.

Even Zhao Yu was frightened by killing and cutting fish before.

But when they really needed to pay for the money, these guys still thought carefully.

Seeing Zhao Yu take out the plaque, the rich people were anxious to be the first to bid.

the reason is simple.

The first person to bid, regardless of the price, the latecomers must follow suit.

In this way, the last bidder has to take it if he wants it, and he has to take it if he doesn’t want it!

"I'll pay 1 taels!"

After Zhao Yu reopened the inscription, a fat man in a brocade suit sitting on the lower left spoke first.

"Ten thousand?"

Zhao Yu stared at the fat man with a slight smile, and said indifferently: "Every word is worth a thousand dollars. In Shopkeeper Ge, the four words bestowed by His Majesty can't be worth a word for a thousand dollars?"

When a big hat was buttoned down, the fat man's face changed immediately.

Zhao Yu didn't wait for him to speak, and directly patted his forehead and said: "I think the governor of this town has misunderstood it. The 1 taels that shopkeeper Ge issued are golden barley seeds?"

1 taels of gold, according to the Daqian gold and silver exchange, can be exchanged for [-] silver!

Of course, this is only the official price set by the imperial court. In fact, gold is expensive and silver is cheap, and 11 gold can be exchanged for silver, which can reach [-] or more.

"No, no, I don't mean that..."

The fat man was sweating so anxiously that he quickly waved his hand in denial.

"Oh, since shopkeeper Ge is not talking about gold, then in other words, with you, His Majesty's calligraphy can't be worth a word of gold?"

whoosh...

Just when Zhao Yu's words fell, Jin Yichuan at the side calmly cut the head of the golden carp in two.

"No, no, what I mean is 1 taels of golden barley, it's golden barley..."

Looking at the blood-stained water bowl, Shopkeeper Ge wiped off his sweat and said hastily.

The rest of the wealthy businessmen can't wait to bite this bastard to death!

This time, the starting price was more than ten times higher!
Zhao Yu nodded towards shopkeeper Ge in satisfaction, and then turned to look at another wealthy businessman beside him!
"I'll pay [-]!"

The rich businessman was startled and directly doubled the price.

"Shopkeeper Liu is very generous!"

Zhao Yu held out his thumb to this person.

Although it sounded like Zhao Yu praised him again, for some reason, shopkeeper Liu looked at Zhao Yu who gave him a thumbs up in front of him, and felt cold in his heart.
