Chapter 6 ? Zhu Muchen wants to open a supermarket
After Zhu Muchen returned to the palace, he asked Nanny Su for a chicken, and then found a place to dig a hole in the palace. "Find me some coal." Zhu Muchen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
"Little prince, are you talking about charcoal?" Shang Ziyou asked doubtfully.
"Yes, charcoal, go to Aunt Su and ask for some." Zhu Muchen responded after hearing the words, then set up a grill with branches and prepared to roast the chicken.
"Don't fan me, I'm not warm. Go and find some honey for me." Zhu Muchen took the folding fan from Xiaoman's hand and said.
"Honey? Little prince, do you want to roast chicken with honey?" Bai Xiaoman looked at Zhu Muchen in surprise.
This royal palace honey must be available, but honey can be regarded as a luxury product in these years. In the Ming Dynasty, it was extremely difficult to extract honey, and no one raised the peak. Therefore, honey is not only expensive, but also difficult to buy. Generally, it is
Priority is given to the royal palace, followed by the enjoyment of powerful ministers.
"Yes, go get it, go quickly." Zhu Muchen nodded and motioned for Xiaoman to go quickly.
Zhu Muchen built a grill with tree branches, and then used the clean branches to skewer the chicken. At this time, the two maids who went to get things also came back. Shang Ziyou put the charcoal into the pit and spread some hay.
On top, he took out a fire stick from his sleeve, blew a few times with his small mouth, lit the hay on top, and the charcoal slowly burned.
With the heat emitted by the charcoal, the chicken placed above the charcoal slowly gave out a little fragrance, sizzling under the "kiss" of the red and blue seedlings, and gradually changed from white to red, and then from red to red again.
It was light yellow, and finally turned yellow and burnt. The aroma slowly spread, and the two maids on the side looked at it with salivation.
While turning the roasted chicken, Zhu Muchen picked up a small half bowl of honey and slowly dripped the honey evenly on the surface of the roasted chicken. The chicken was washed by charcoal fire, and it was already fragrant, and because of the color added by a layer of honey, it became more golden.
.
"What does it smell like?" Zhu Meng was discussing something with some officials. Suddenly there was a smell of baking and smoke coming from outside the window. It was so intoxicating that the gluttons were quickly aroused.
"The young prince asked Aunt Su for a chicken. She said she wanted to make roast chicken. This should be the smell of roast chicken." Pang Man said.
"Is this Chen'er's roasted chicken?" Zhu Meng glanced at Pang Man doubtfully, then signaled everyone to disperse, and went out to look for the smell and headed towards Zhu Muchen's roasted chicken.
Zhu Meng met Yuan Xi and Aunt Su within a few steps of going out. They were also attracted by the scent. They smiled at each other and walked towards the direction of the scent.
"Chen'er, your roast chicken is so fragrant, can you eat it? Give it to your father to try." Zhu Meng walked up behind Zhu Muchen and said.
"Father, King, Queen, you are here at the right time, you can eat." Zhu Muchen stood up and wiped his sweat.
A few people sat down at a stone table nearby. Yuan Xi kept wiping Zhu Muchen's sweat. Zhu Meng looked at the mother and son, with happiness on their faces. The two maids took down the roast chicken and put it on the plate. Aunt Su also took it.
Tea came.
"You guys should also sit down and eat together." Zhu Muchen motioned to Aunt Su, Xiaoman and Shang Ziyou to sit down and eat together.
"Sit down, don't be formal." Zhu Meng said with a smile as several people showed no intention of sitting down.
Zhu Meng finally couldn't help it. He didn't care about the burning. He took one big bite. Wow! It felt so good! His mouth was full of fire and happiness. The delicious taste reached to the tip of his tongue and the aroma of meat filled his mouth. Several people were eating roast chicken. Some of them were
They were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
"Father, can you give me five thousand taels of silver?" When Zhu Meng was enjoying his meal, Zhu Muchen suddenly asked.
"Oops! It's hot, huh huh..."
"How much? Five thousand taels, Chen'er, what do you need so many taels for?" Zhu Meng swallowed the chicken in his mouth with difficulty, blew his hand and asked, Princess Yuan Xi also looked at Zhu Muchen curiously, thinking
Listen to what this kid is going to do.
"Ahem, it's not okay to do nothing all day. I want to do some small business." Zhu Muchen responded.
"Business?" Zhu Meng wiped his mouth and asked.
"Chen'er, if you have nothing to do, just study at home. If you really don't want to study, let your uncle Man teach you martial arts. If it doesn't work, you can go to a brothel to have fun. You can spend the money as you like. Either the father is reluctant to part with the money, or this merchant
If you don't do what you want, doing business will lose your identity." Zhu Meng said.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang was born into a poor peasant, he hated businessmen and landlords the most since he was a child. The era when businessmen had the lowest status was the Ming Dynasty. The traditional class concept set by Zhu Yuanzhang deeply affected this situation. It was precisely because the founding king of the Ming Dynasty set the
The national policy of the Ming Dynasty was strictly followed and implemented by all the monarchs of the Ming Dynasty.
"Oh...it hurts...it hurts me so much." Zhu Meng suddenly shouted.
"Going to a brothel? What do you think?" Princess Yuan Xi pinched Zhu Meng's leg and looked at him fiercely.
"My beloved concubine, let me give you a metaphor, a metaphor." Zhu Meng gently patted Yuan Xi's back with his hand to comfort him.
"Queen Mother." Zhu Muchen looked at Yuan Xi pitifully.
Grandma Su and the two maids who were standing aside felt nauseated.
"If Chen'er wants to do it, let him do it. It's rare for a child to have his own ideas, so please support him. This businessman's business is not that simple, so let him try." Yuan Xi touched Zhu Muchen's head and said,
Turning sideways and talking to Zhu Mengdao.
Yuan Xi actually disagrees with Zhu Muchen's involvement with businessmen, but she knows that doing business is not a simple matter. Zhu Muchen has not yet entered the world, and has suffered from brain disease for many years and has only recovered recently. It is rare that Zhu Muchen is interested in doing something.
He didn't have the heart to hit him, so he might as well give him some money and let him hit the wall and practice it. After he finished squandering it, it wouldn't be too late to teach him well.
"You, please don't spoil Chen'er." Zhu Meng shook his head and said. In fact, he understood Yuan Xi's intention, so he didn't stop Zhu Muchen.
"Chen'er, my mother has something to say before me. I will only give you five thousand taels. If you spend all the money, you are not allowed to mention the business affairs." Yuan Xi said to Zhu Muchen.
"Okay, if I lose all these five thousand taels, I will never mention doing business again." Zhu Muchen responded.
"Chen'er, what are you doing?" Zhu Meng asked curiously to see what good deal this kid had thought of.
"I want to open a supermarket." Zhu Muchen said with a smile.
"Supermarket? What is a supermarket?" Zhu Meng and Yuan Xi looked at each other and asked in confusion. Aunt Su was also a little curious. Bai Xiaoman and Shang Ziyou were very calm. They had already heard about this strange supermarket in the morning.
, so I didn’t show much surprise!
"You will know in the future, I went to the accounting office to get the money." After Zhu Muchen said that, he turned around and left, and the two maids hurriedly followed.
"Oh! Chen'er has only recovered a few days, and he already knows how to spend money." Looking at Zhu Muchen's back, Zhu Meng joked.
Hearing this, Yuan Xi pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "When Chen'er grows up, it's time for us to get married."
When Zhu Meng and Nanny Su heard this, the three of them made eye contact and laughed.
Zhu Muchen found Pang Man and asked him to help contact him to buy the building he was interested in. Pang Man reported it to Zhu Meng. After getting Zhu Meng's permission, he left the palace and looked for people everywhere to help contact the owner of the building. I would like to discuss purchasing.
In the past few days, Zhu Muchen often went to the market, often dragging some vendors to introduce his supermarket. Many vendors ran away when they saw him, "Oh... don't run away, this is an opportunity to make a fortune. Listen to me." Zhu Muchen shouted after chasing a candied haws seller.
"My young prince is very sincere in purchasing. Brother Shen, I'll take my leave now. After you think about it, just send someone to the palace to inform me." Pang Man told Shen Yun that he planned to buy his building and said goodbye to Shen Yun at the door. At that time, I saw Zhu Muchen saying something to a man at an intersection, so I said goodbye and walked in the direction of Zhu Muchen.
After Shen Yun sent Pang Man away, he returned to the study and wrote a letter, and then handed it over to a servant. Not long after, the man rode out of Shen's house.
Two days later......
"Your Highness Taisun, I have received a letter from my brother. The Crown Prince of Chu wants to buy a property from Your Highness in Wuchang City," a man in Feiyu uniform knelt outside the door and reported.
"Since you want it, just sell it to him." A young man said calmly, flipping through the book in his hand.
"Yes, I resign." The man in the Feiyu suit bowed his hands and bowed, took a few steps back, then turned and left.
