Chapter 31: The face is swollen

Cui Fatzi directly confessed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

He is just a shopkeeper of the Cui family, a side branch of the side branch, how to offend the two popular thugs under the command of King Qin. He is in Chang'an, but he is well-informed, and he knows that Cheng Yanjin and Niu Jinda have just been recommended and promoted by King Qin recently, and now they are popular generals in King Qin's mansion.

Cui Fatzi is a person who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, but he is also a person who knows how to advance and retreat. It's no problem to use the Cui family's bullying to oppress ordinary people, but even if he wants to pull out the Cui family to be a tiger flag, he can't suppress the two of them. Behind the family is the King of Qin, who is the King of Qin, in terms of limelight, he is now stronger than the prince.

"The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, it's really damned, and I ask you adults to have a lot of them, let go of the small one."

Cui Fatzi saw that the wind made the rudder very strong, and seeing that he had provoked a big man, he hurriedly confessed.

Cheng Yanjin laughed on the side, "Ouch, why did you coax it, didn't you have a big tone just now, Lao Tzu thought you were the head of the Cui family." ”

The Qinghe Cui clan was formed during the Wei and Jin dynasties, and after the development of the Sixteen Kingdoms, it reached its peak during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. They have maintained political and social prominence through their academic mastery and complex marriages. The Qinghe Cui clan reached its peak in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but it was also during the time of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty that it caused a catastrophe and was hit by Emperor Taiwu's devastating blow, and the Qinghe Cui clan even almost had a fault at that time. In the later period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Qinghe Cui clan was able to make a comeback through their family tradition, and the Cui clan once again became the leader of the Shandong Shi clan.

Cui's was still in the Sui Dynasty for a while. The mother of Dugu, the empress of Emperor Wen of Sui, was the Cui clan of the Qinghe clan. Later, the daughter of Dugu's cousin, Dongjun Gong Cui Junxuan, married Yang Guang again, and got love, so that Cui's was still good when he was in Yang Guang.

By the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Qinghe Cui clan had been divided into six rooms.

And the owner of Fumanlou is Cui Shanfu in the Zhengzhou room of Cui's six rooms. Cui Shanfu's grandfather Cui Yansheng is the county prince of Guangcheng County in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his father Cui Zhiren is the county prince of Baishui, and when he arrived at Cui Shanfu, he has declined.

Coincidentally, Cui Shanfu is now also an official in the Qin Palace, and his position is the Qin Palace. Cui Shanfu's grandfather Cui Yansheng and Emperor Wen of Sui's maternal grandfather Cui Yanzhen were cousins, and Cui Junxuan, the duke of Sui Eastern County, was Cui Shanfu's cousin.

In the Sui Dynasty, Cui Shanfu had a good life, Queen Dugu was his cousin, and Dongjun Gong was his cousin. Even later, when Yang Guang was in power, because his cousin was Yang Guang's concubine, he was still Yang Guang's brother-in-law.

But when he arrived in Datang, his life was not so good.

First of all, in the past few years of war in the Kanto region, the Cui family's hometown has also suffered greatly. And the Li family established the Tang Dynasty, and the Cui family did not get any good treatment, Cui Shanfu was just a Kuzhen in the Qin Palace.

What is Kuzhen?

Ku Zhen is a subordinate official of the royal palace, but it is not important, in fact, Ku Zhen is a senior personal guard, or can also serve as a staff officer.

Cui Shanfu and Cheng Yanjin are equivalent to officials in the Qin Palace, although Cui Shanfu is from a wealthy family, but the position is only a small personal guard, and Cheng Yanjin, that is the protector of the Left Third Protector Army and the head of the Left Army Horse Army, and the lord is also the Duke of Su.

How can a down-and-out wealthy man dare to fight with an incomparably popular upstart?

Even Cui Shanfu, the owner of Cui Fatzi, would never dare to enter them with Cheng Biting the Golden Bull, Cui Fatzi, a small shopkeeper, did not dare to provoke the two of them even after eating the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard.

"I'm damned, I'm damned."

Cui Fatzi is also a ruthless person, he knelt down without saying a word, and opened his bow left and right, slapping himself fiercely. It was a real beating, the slap in the face snapped, and soon the fat man's face was swollen, he was already fat, and now the fat face became a pig's head.

Zhang Chao stood aside and watched coldly, the poor man must have something to hate.

This dead Cui fat man actually wants to buy his secret recipe by force, if it weren't for the fact that he had to bite the gold halfway today, I am afraid that his secret recipe would have been lost.

"Go back and tell Cui Shanfu that in the future, I will not do this kind of thing that lacks virtue and smoke, this time I meet my grandfather, if I bump into someone else's head next time, others will not be so generous."

Cheng Yanjin also knew that the owner of this restaurant was Cui Shanfu, and they were all colleagues in the Qin Palace, so he had to be a little affectionate in some things. He knew that Cui Shanfu might not know about this, most of it was this fat man's own opinion.

"Brother Iron Gun, San Lang, let's go."

Niu Jinda didn't want to be wordy with this fat man.

"Wait a minute, uncles."

Zhang Chao stopped the two at this time, how could things be so easy.

"Shopkeeper Cui, I am not a person who does not believe in my word, since I have promised to sell you the formula before, I will do what I say."

Cui Fatzi had a swollen face, his eyes were full of fear, he knew very well that he had kicked an iron plate, he thought that Zhang's father and son were just a piece of soft mud, and he could handle it as he wanted, who knew that there were still two princes standing behind him.

Now he only hopes that the Zhang father and son will leave as soon as possible, and he doesn't want to say anything else.

"Zhang Sanlang, I'm really dumbfounded, I just bumped into you, you have a lot of adults, just let me go." The matter of the transaction is that I was blinded by lard for a while, and I don't dare anymore. As if this incident had never happened, the ten taels of deposit should be regarded as compensation. ”

Zhang Chao shook his head, "Do you think I'm trying to be greedy for your ten taels of gold?" ”

"No, of course not, that's just a little apology for me."

Zhang Chao still shook his head.

The fat man is anxious, if Zhang Chao doesn't nod his head and stop this matter, then he will definitely be finished.

"San Lang, please take these fifty-five taels of gold with you, it can be regarded as our apology."

"No merit is not rewarded."

Zhang Chao is not in a hurry now, with two thighs hugging, Cui Zhutou doesn't dare to play tricks with him now.

Dad said on the side, "Forget it, if you don't know this kind of person, let's get out of here early." ”

But Zhang Chao is not a father, people don't offend me, I don't offend people. was coerced by Cui Pigtou before, he was very aggrieved, and now that someone supports him, how can he just forget it.

"I'm a very credit-conscious person, and since I've negotiated the deal before, it's going to be done."

Cui Fat Man was a little confused, kneeling there carrying a swollen pig's head, very confused.

Even Daddy didn't understand.

Zhang Chao smiled slightly.

"Shopkeeper Cui, did we agree before that Cui Jiafu Manlou would buy my yellow flour steamed bun recipe at a price of five hundred yuan?"

Hearing this, Cui Zhutou's eyes froze, and Cheng Biting Jin and Niu Jinda laughed loudly without scruples. They didn't expect that Zhang Chao was still a person who had revenge and would not stay overnight.

Buy a yellow flour steamed bun recipe for 500 guan?

No matter what happened to the shopkeeper Cui at this time, he had to nod.

"Then we will continue this agreement now, I will write you the recipe for the yellow bun, and then you pay the balance, we will complete the contract, and the deal will be reached."

If you buy a steamed cake recipe for 500 guan, you will definitely not be able to get it. Originally, Zhang Chao thought that if Wubaiguan sold the yellow steamed bun formula, it would be completely sold, and he would no longer sell yellow steamed buns with great professional ethics in the future, and he would not sell this formula to other people. In that case, Fumanlou, who has the exclusive formula of yellow buns, will still not lose money.

But now, Zhang Chao won't be so honest.

The 500 yuan was sold to Fumanlou Huang Bao Bun Formula, which did not include the secret recipe of flour alkali, and at the same time, it was no longer a complete transfer of the secret recipe. In the future, Zhang Chao can still sell yellow buns, and even sell them to whomever he wants, and Fumanlou does not have exclusive technical ownership.

When it is time to retaliate, Zhang Chao will never be soft.

These five hundred guan can be regarded as a lesson for Fu Manlou.

Cui Fatzi didn't dare to say anything at this time, he only begged Zhang Chao and the others to leave early.

"Okay, yes, I'm willing."

"There is no basis for words, let's establish words."

"Yes, yes."

Cui Fatzi asked the guy to bring pen and paper, and then personally wrote a contract for the purchase of the formula, all of which were written according to Zhang Chao's meaning.

"Yes, that's what it means, Cui shopkeeper, sign and press your fingerprint."

Cui Fatzi did not hesitate at all, wrote his name on the contract, and then pressed a handprint. Zhang Chao smiled, also laughed, and signed his name in the back.

Five hundred guan is sixty-two taels of gold. Ten taels had been paid in advance, so the fat man had to pay another fifty-two taels. There are ninety taels of gold in the box in the room, which is the formula that the fat man was going to buy with one hundred taels just now.

"Zhang Sanlang, these are the money to buy the formula, and the rest is our Fumanlou's apology."

Zhang Chao glanced at Cheng Biting Jin and the two.

Cheng Yanjin said very directly, "Since it is an apology, then you can accept it." Cui's shopkeeper is also sincere, we will not delve into today's matter, you go back and tell Cui Shanfu, if you still want to play any tricks in the future, I will bite Jin at any time. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, never dare."

Now that I killed Cui Fatzi, I didn't dare to provoke Zhang Chao's father and son anymore, I thought he was a hillbilly who was easy to bully, but who would have thought that his mother would have two princes behind him, this is really a hell.

The contract was in triplicate, one copy for Zhang Chao, one copy for Cui Fatzi, and one copy was received by Cheng Yanjin, which can be regarded as an intermediate witness.

With the contract in hand, Zhang Chao successfully entered one hundred taels of gold.

Cui Fatzi was hunting geese all day long, but in the end he was pecked blind by geese.

At this time, he could only swallow with tears in his teeth, Cheng bit Jin and Niu Jinda, he couldn't afford to offend any of them. Even his master, Cui Shanfu couldn't afford to offend those two.

Originally, he didn't stand up for it, so he didn't even fight a lawsuit.

Ninety taels of gold add up to five catties, but compared to more than seven hundred copper coins weighing more than four thousand catties, it is much lighter, and Zhang Chao can carry it alone.

Ninety taels of gold, but more than seven hundred copper coins, a full seven hundred and twenty-two thousand coins. Now in the early Tang Dynasty, the world was turbulent and the prices were inflated, but at most ten years, by the time of the fourth or fifth year of the early Zhenchu Dynasty, when the world was stable and there were bumper harvests in various places, the price of grain would reach an incredible two coins of rice.

One hundred taels of gold can only buy one hundred and sixty stone of rice now, but it is only more than 10,000 catties of grain. But in ten years, one hundred taels of gold can buy 40,000 stone rice. Even if the price returns to normal by then, the bucket rice will only be 20 wen, and 100 taels of gold can buy 4,000 stone rice.

The one hundred taels of gold I got from Cui Fatzi is indeed a lot of money.

Under Cui Fatzi's careful send-off, several people went out of Fumanlou.

Standing on the side of the street, Cheng Yanjin smiled and said to Zhang Chaoye, "Brother Iron Gun, the matter is over here, it is better to go to Shubao's Mansion and sit down." ”

The old iron spear stood on the side of the road, hesitating.
