Chapter 265 The True Meaning

Shen Leyan only felt a buzzing sound in his head, his body shook, and he staggered forward a few steps.

Fortunately, he managed to hold onto the table. He pointed outside the door and said to the terrified He Dong, "You, go and catch the person who said that. I'm going to the county government to sue him for defamation..."

The person who spread the rumor cannot be caught, and now the whole city is in an uproar.

Shen Leyan, Huang Changsheng and He Dong brought a group of people to Yaqian Street in a hurry. They heard that it was said by several small vendors who set up barbecue skewers here.

Small vendor!

Shen Leyan was furious. He had been unlucky recently and even cats and dogs could step on him.

When did he ever take notice of these small vendors who only sold soup, porridge and rice to make a living?

They didn't dare to use force against Tianxianglou, but there was nothing they dared not deal with these small vendors.

Find someone to overturn the stall and drive it out of Qili County. From then on, it will not even be qualified to set up a stall in the city.

Shen Leyan and the others had good ideas, but they just didn't have the opportunity to put them into practice.

Still outside Yaqian Street, several black-robed yamen runners stopped Shen Leyan: "Boss Shen, Boss Huang! Please move aside!"

"Master Qin, Master Qian, please give us some time. We need to go in and look for someone."

Although Shen Leyan is only the owner of Jinxilou and a businessman, he has been doing business in Qili County for many years and naturally has connections.

These yamen runners are usually very close to him.

For several years, the amount of filial piety silver sent to the county clerk every month was not reduced.

"Boss Chen, we brothers are on official business, please forgive us!" The leading squad leader had an embarrassed look on his face and blocked the intersection, refusing to move.

He was drinking at Jinxilou yesterday, and today he has to act impartially, so there's nothing we can do about it.

He was a public servant, and now that County Magistrate Jiang had given the order, he had no choice but to obey.

Shen Leyan's face looked very bad: "Master Qin, I heard someone inside slandering the reputation of Jinxilou, and I must go in and confront them, and try to make concessions."

He Dong was a smooth person. He laughed and said, "Hey! Mr. Qin, you and I are old acquaintances. There is no need to take such a small matter seriously."

As he spoke, he quickly stuffed a purse into the foreman's belt and whispered in his ear, "There are two taels of silver in it. Please give Qin and Qian a bowl of tea."

Under normal circumstances, the squad leader would have pretended not to know what was going on, but now, as if something was biting him, he pulled out the purse and threw it back into He Dong's arms, saying with a dark face: "Lord Jiang has ordered that this is in front of the county government office. Anyone who causes trouble will be beaten to death. The responsible yamen officer will be fined fifty lashes! Mr. Shen, if you were just here for fun, I would let you in, but look at this!"

He raised his hand and pointed behind Huang Changsheng. There were a dozen burly men there, and they didn't look like good people at all.

For the sake of one or two taels of silver, he let these people in and was beaten with fifty boards. If he didn't die, he would be skinned alive.

Shen Leyan now understood that with the people from the county government present, he would not be able to find the vendor who spread the rumors.

With a dark face, he bowed to the squad leader Qin and said, "Master Qin, I'll remember this today!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

He Dong followed behind and said anxiously: “Master Shen, you are leaving now, what should we do about it, just let people say it?”

Huang Changsheng stood by and said nothing. When he saw Shen Leyan leave in anger, he smiled sinisterly: "He Dong, if you have a way, go in and find it!"

“Who should I go to? This is Master Shen’s recipe!”

He Dong glared at the yamen runners who were blocking the way and wanted to go up and argue with them, but when he saw that Shen Leyan had left, he hesitated again and again, stomped his feet, and followed Shen Leyan and chased after him.

Compared to the morning, there were more people on Yaqian Street. Although there were only about thirty vendors setting up stalls, people were all crowded in, walking around, looking around, and standing to listen to people talking. Some yamen runners began to chase people out.

At this time, Song Liyun was standing in front of her own stall, and a waiter from Tianxianglou was helping her sell things.

There was also a long table covered with white silk, on which were piled cardboard boxes, each one foot square.

The dried beef brought back from the Wuda tribe has a dark brown skin, but the cut is golden and translucent, with alternating fat and lean parts.

The growth barcode is placed in a cardboard box. If someone wants to buy it, they can pick it up and go for 200 wen per box.

Next to it, there are bundles of acorn vermicelli wrapped in white paper, also neatly stacked.

I had seen vermicelli before, and some people were buying it, but it was dried beef, and there were many people watching, but not many people bought it.

The waiter didn't shout, but just quietly opened the carton. The best sign was the high-quality meat.

The reason why he didn't try to attract customers was because this was clearly dried grassland meat.

The oxen used for farming in the Wu Dynasty were precious and could not be slaughtered without permission.

It’s just that Yunzhou is close to the grassland, and the management of beef is not very strict, but it is still rare to sell it in such a large scale.

Song Liyun saw that everyone's eyes were glued to the beef, but no one wanted to buy it.

She squeezed through the crowd, stood beside the long table, and shouted, "Everyone, this beef is from the bison captured by the Zhenbei Army on the grassland. We are displaying it now to share the joy of victory with everyone."

Bison! It's from the guards.

People's thoughts are never as firm as we imagine, and things in the world are not absolutely black and white.

The Dilu people are scary, but the meat on the Dilu grassland is the cutest.

I understood it the moment I saw it, which meant I could buy it. Those who reacted quickly took action first and immediately picked up a few cartons.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. If you buy what others are buying, you won’t go wrong if you follow suit.

It was chaos, and the only dozens of boxes of beef prepared were sold out in an instant.

Those who got one laughed out loud, while those who didn't were furious: "It's too little, how much are you selling it for?"

There was only one waiter here, and he was too busy collecting money, so Song Liyun hurried over to help.

Lin Tao's wife is also a capable person. Without Song Liyun's arrangement, she stopped those who were carrying boxes from behind and only allowed them to leave after they paid the money.

As the news that beef was for sale spread, people came to buy it one after another. Song Liyun had no choice but to tell everyone that there were only fifty boxes a day and they could order them at Tianxianglou.

Although Jiang Feng did not appear on the street, he heard every word from the trade fair.

The previous arguments about skewer-making skills only made him think that Song Liyun was somewhat intelligent.

But when Jiang Feng heard about selling the dried beef of the Wuda tribe, he immediately became excited.

Only then did he understand Song Liyun's real intention of holding the trade fair.

When people are emotionally excited, thinking about problems becomes correspondingly simpler.

And once you buy it once, you can buy it a second time...

Compared with opening the shackles of thought, overthrowing Jinxilou is just a by-product.

It seems that I need to have a good talk with this woman!

Originally in his mind, Song Liyun was just a military girl with some brains and a hot temper. It was precisely this specialness that made her remembered by the Third Young Master.

Now Jiang Feng already knows that Song Liyun is not only talented in business, but also has foresight and foresight that is no less than that of men. Moreover, Zhao Tingduo has taken Song Liyun to the grassland, which has a different meaning.
