Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety Six: Cheng Yaojin, Wei Chigong, Beaten
After Li Min's guidance, some improvements were made to the gramophone, mass production was started, and then sales began.
Cheng Chuliang was one of the first people to know about the phonograph.
Before the phonograph was put on the market, he bought a gramophone at an internal price.
The market price of this gramophone is 10,000 yuan.
As for the internal price, you can get a 20% discount and only need 8,000 yuan.
After buying the gramophone, Cheng Chuliang took a vacation directly, took the gramophone and boarded the train to Chang'an City, preparing to show off to his father.
Now the relationship between the King of Shu and the imperial court is quite delicate.
In the past year, Cheng Yaojin and other veterans have not dared to join forces with Yizhou New City.
Cheng Chuliang was going to use the gramophone to give his father a big surprise.
In the afternoon of that day, Cheng Chuliang returned to Cheng Mansion.
Then, Cheng Chuliang found his father, Cheng Yaojin.
He put the phonograph in front of him and said with a smile: "Dad, I bought this to honor you!"
Seeing this thing that he had never seen before, Cheng Yaojin Niu glared, and then asked: "Little thief, what kind of thing is this? How much did it cost?"
Cheng Chuliang smiled and said: "Dad, this is called a gramophone. It was bought for eight thousand dollars. It is specially made to honor your old man! How about it? Son, please be filial to you?"
Hearing Cheng Chuliang's words, Cheng Yaojinfei was almost furious.
He stretched out his carrot-thick finger, pointed at Cheng Chuliang and yelled, "Little bastard! Why do you think I gave birth to such a loser like you?"
"Eight thousand dollars to buy such a useless thing? Why, there is a mine at home? Your father's temper has only improved in the past two years. If it had been left to the first two years, I would not be able to kill you, this wasteful thing!"
"Eight thousand dollars to buy such a crappy thing? It's really a bastard thing that's not worth buying or selling! Return it to me immediately! If you can't get your money back, I'll see if I don't break your legs!"
Long before Cheng Yaojin was ready to curse, Cheng Chuliang had quietly taken out a button on the gramophone.
When Cheng Yaojin cursed loudly, Cheng Chuliang was happy and did not refute.
But he didn't take it seriously when his father scolded him.
Thanks to this old guy, I dare to say that his temper has improved in the past two years!
How can this old guy lose his temper? When will he get better?
Why don't you hit people now? Don't you have some numbers in your mind?
Isn't it because he is getting older and his physical strength and skills are not as good as before, and now he can't fight at all? Is this old guy probably taking action a long time ago?
Cheng Chuliang has seen clearly!
When Cheng Yaojin finally finished scolding, Cheng Chuliang smiled, handed Cheng Yaojin a cup of tea, and said, "Dad, drink some water to relieve your anger."
Cheng Yaojin was really thirsty for scolding.
Taking the tea cup from Cheng Chuliang's hand, he drank a bowl of tea with a few big gulps, including the tea and tea leaves.
Then he handed over the tea cup and shouted: "Fill it up again!"
Cheng Chuliang filled Cheng Yaojin's tea with a playful smile, and then pressed two buttons on the phonograph while Cheng Yaojin drank water.
"Little bastard! Why did I give birth to such a loser like you?"
"Eight thousand dollars to buy such a useless thing? Why, there is a mine at home? Your father's temper has only improved in the past two years. If it had been left to the first two years, I would not be able to kill you, this wasteful thing!"
"Eight thousand dollars to buy such a crappy thing? It's really a bastard thing that's not worth buying or selling! Return it to me immediately! If you can't get your money back, I'll see if I don't break your legs!"
puff!
Hearing the sound coming from the gramophone, Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened.
The sip of hot tea he just took into his mouth suddenly sprayed onto Cheng Chuliang's face.
"Here, who is talking?"
"Why is this voice exactly the same as my voice? Even the curse words are the same?"
Cheng Chuliang raised his sleeves and wiped the tea off his face.
Then he chuckled and said, "Dad, didn't I tell you? This thing is called a gramophone. As long as you press the record button when you are talking, everything you say will be recorded."
"After recording, press the play button again, and what you just said will be played back!"
"This gramophone isn't on the market yet. I bought it at the internal price! If it goes on the market, it will cost at least 10,000 yuan!"
"I bought it for the internal price of eight thousand yuan. Isn't this price expensive?"
Cheng Yaojin quickly said: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, this is a treasure! Hehe, it's fun, it's fun!"
"By the way, can the recorded voice be deleted?"
Cheng Chuliang nodded and said, "Yes, of course I can!"
Cheng Yaojin quickly said: "Why don't you delete the curse words I just said! It simply damages my image of being wise and powerful!"
Cheng Chuliang chuckled and thought, "You are an old guy, do you still have an image?"
You are so wise and powerful, but you have the nerve to say it out loud, don’t you want to give up your bad face at all?
Of course, I dare to think about this in my heart.
If you really dare to say it, the old guy can kill people with his axe.
Cheng Chuliang fiddled with it a few times and deleted all the curse words Cheng Yaojin had just said.
After Cheng Chuliang finished deleting it, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but ask Cheng Chuliang: "Little thief, please teach me how to use this thing?"
Cheng Chuliang curled his lips and said, "Dad, this thing is called a gramophone, not this thing. Just watch and I'll teach you how to use it."
After Cheng Chuliang taught him for a while, Cheng Yaojin learned how to use the gramophone.
In fact, it is very simple to use and only requires a few simple operations.
After learning it, Cheng Yaojin laughed and walked out of the house with the gramophone in his arms, not knowing what he was doing.
But looking at the evil smile on his face, Cheng Chuliang believed that this old guy must not have any good intentions, maybe he was harboring some bad intentions!
After Cheng Yaojin went out, he went to have a drink with Yuchi Gong.
These veterans have formed friendships that were built through life-and-death battles on the battlefield, and their feelings are very deep.
When they have nothing to do, they often drink together.
You invite me today and I invite you tomorrow. This is really normal.
Therefore, when Cheng Yaojin invited guests today, Yuchi Gong did not hesitate at all and quickly followed Cheng Yaojin to the first floor in the world.
The first floor in the world is the property of China Commercial Bank.
These veterans all have the best black cards in the world.
Eating here is half price.
Even the shopkeeper on the first floor in the world received orders from Li Min.
When these veterans come to eat, the price is much cheaper than others. If you add a 50% discount on this, it won't cost much in a year.
And these veterans are actually not short of money at all.
And the taste of the best restaurant in the world has always been the best in Chang'an City for so many years.
Therefore, when they drink, they will basically come to the first floor of the world.
This time, the two of them ordered six dishes in the private room. They exchanged glasses and drank.
When his ears were full of wine, Cheng Yaojin chuckled and said to Yu Chigong: "Big black face, after drinking, do you want to go to the No. 1 Hospital in the World for a walk?"
Yuchi Gong squinted at Cheng Yaojin and said disdainfully: "You idiot Cheng, stop bragging! I'm asking you, do you dare to go? If you dare to go, I dare to go!"
Cheng Yaojin slapped his chest and said disdainfully: "Do you think I, Old Cheng, are as afraid of his wife as you? I can go if I want, but you, a black-faced person, don't dare to go, right?"
After speaking, Cheng Yaojin quietly pressed the button of the gramophone with a treacherous look on his face.
Then I heard Yuchi Gong say angrily: "You idiot Cheng, don't provoke me! Now, I have to be the best in the world! Go and decide! Whoever doesn't go now, who is the grandson?
!”
After Yu Chigong finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin quickly pressed a button, and then said with a smile: "Just go, do you think I'm afraid of you? Whoever doesn't go today will be my grandson!"
After saying that, Cheng Yaojin pressed the button again.
But Yuchi Gong couldn't stand the excitement, and immediately said loudly: "Let's go to the first floor in the world. Idiot Cheng, it's agreed. Whoever doesn't go today will be the grandson!"
Cheng Yaojin smiled and pressed the button.
Perfect!
Now the big black face is dead!
Now, these two guys, you dragged me and I dragged you, arm in arm to the first floor in the world.
As a result, after arriving on the first floor of the world, these two guys bought a ticket each, listened to a performance, and went their separate ways without doing anything else.
No one mentioned what they wanted to do on the first floor of the world.
These two cowards are more cowardly than the other.
Of course, their wives are also more powerful than the other.
Older and stronger, old ginger is spicier.
After coming out of the first floor of the world, Cheng Yaojin hugged the gramophone with a wicked smile on his face that showed his scheming had succeeded.
Cheng Yaojin knew very well that Yuchi Gong would fall asleep with his head covered after drinking wine.
Then, Cheng Yaojin quietly came to Yuchi Mansion after Yuchi Gong.
When the concierge of Yuchi Mansion saw it was Cheng Yaojin, he quickly saluted and said: "Old General Cheng, my father-in-law has just come back. Can you please come in?"
Cheng Yaojin chuckled, waved his hand and said, "No, I won't go in. By the way, give this to your wife."
After saying that, Cheng Yaojin handed the phonograph to the concierge.
Then seeing the weird look in the concierge's eyes, Cheng Yaojin suddenly realized that there was something wrong with what he said.
What's the point of taking something by yourself and not giving it to the father-in-law, but to the wife?
Thinking of this, Cheng Yaojin quickly said: "This thing was not sent by me, Old Cheng, but by that boy Yuchi Baoqi. I just sent it here on my behalf."
"By the way, after handing the things to Mrs. Yuchi, you must press this button in front of her. Yuchi Baoqi has given you many instructions, so don't forget it!"
Although General Cheng felt strange today, the concierge didn't think much about it.
Since it was sent by the Second Young Master, just follow General Cheng's instructions and send it in.
After Cheng Yaojin left, the concierge carried the gramophone and walked into the house.
Cheng Yaojin, who hadn't gone far, had actually been secretly looking over here.
Seeing the concierge walking in, the old guy suddenly burst out laughing.
As for the Yuchi Mansion, the concierge quickly found a maid next to the madam.
Then he handed the gramophone to her and explained it clearly.
This thing was sent by the second young master, and it is for the madam. It must be handed over to the madam.
And you have to press this button in front of your wife.
After the maid finished listening, she took the phonograph from the concierge and walked to the inner house.
It just so happened that Cheng Yaojin's wife was visiting here at this time.
The two ladies were drinking tea and talking.
At this time, the maid came over and said to Mrs. Yuchi: "Madam, this is how the second young master honors his wife."
Mrs. Yuchi curiously took the gramophone from the maid's hand, but after looking at it for a long time she didn't know what it was.
Mrs. Yuchi couldn't help but ask: "What is this? What is it used for?"
The maid replied: "Madam, I heard this is called a gramophone. I don't know what it is for."
"By the way, the second young master also said that after giving it to the madam, he must press this button in front of the madam!"
After saying that, the maid pressed a button.
After pressing the button, the gramophone began to speak soon.
It actually scared the two ladies and all the maids in the room.
Oh my god!
What is this?
Why are you still talking?
When everyone came to their senses and heard what was said on the gramophone, their expressions became even weirder.
This voice doesn’t sound like the Second Young Master’s!
It's more like the voice of the master!
"You idiot Cheng, don't provoke me! Now, I will definitely be on the top floor of the world! It's decided to go! Now, whoever doesn't go will be my grandson!"
"Let's go to the first floor in the world. Idiot Cheng, we have agreed that whoever doesn't go today will be the grandson!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Yuchi's face turned green.
"This old guy, half buried in the earth, is still running to such a dirty place! Is this you, old guy, who has drifted away? Or is my status no longer high?"
"Hmph! If I don't use my family skills today, do you think I'll become a sick cat because I'm not powerful?"
At this time, Mrs. Yuchi's eyebrows stood up, she stood up and walked out.
However, he was stopped by Mrs. Cheng.
"Sister-in-law, wait a minute!"
Mrs. Yuchi said angrily: "Brothers and sisters, don't stop me, I have to teach that old thing a lesson today!"
Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law, the lesson is not urgent. But why do I feel that this thing doesn't come from Baoqi?"
Mrs. Yuchi was confused just now.
Now that I heard Mrs. Cheng's words, I felt something was wrong.
Yuchi Baoqi, how could it be possible to put a piece of tape that contains some unreasonable remarks from his father?
This kid is not that kind of person at all!
Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but said: "Why do I hear that idiot Cheng is mentioned here? Isn't this my family's family? Is there something about him in this?"
"Sister-in-law, I think you should ask clearly first who gave this thing!"
Mrs. Yuchi nodded and couldn't help but ask the girl beside her: "Chunlan, let me ask you, who gave you this thing?"
Chunlan quickly said: "Madam, the concierge gave this to me. He said it was for the second young master to honor his wife. He also said that he should press this button in front of the lady."
Mrs. Yuchi couldn't help but said: "Go and call the concierge here!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Not long after, the concierge Lao Huang was called over.
Mrs. Yuchi couldn't help but ask: "Old Huang, who sent this phonograph?"
Lao Huang was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and then said: "Madam, is this the second young master's filial piety to you?"
Mrs. Yuchi couldn't help but ask: "What I'm asking is, who gave this phonograph to you!"
Upon hearing this, Lao Huang quickly said: "Oh, it was given to me by General Cheng. He said that the Second Young Master asked him to deliver it to me."
Mrs. Yuchi and Mrs. Cheng looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
Mrs. Cheng stood up and said: "Sister-in-law, take your leave. When I go back, I will deal with this old thing severely! How dare you go to the first floor in the world and rebel against him!"
Mrs. Yuchi took Mrs. Cheng's hand and said: "Brothers and sisters, don't be too angry! But this man really can't be cleaned up! He hasn't put up the roof for three days! I have to clean up that old thing in my house today.
He can’t stand it!”
Mrs. Cheng nodded, turned around and left.
As a result, Mrs. Yuchi grabbed her and pointed at the gramophone and said to Mrs. Cheng: "Brothers and sisters, this thing belongs to your family, take it back!"
How could Mrs. Cheng have the nerve to carry a gramophone with her!
Then I picked up the gramophone and threw it to the ground, shattering it into pieces.
In Yuchi Mansion, Yuchi Gong was sleeping soundly when suddenly a bucket of water was poured on him.
Yuchi Gong suddenly jumped up from the bed due to the cold.
"Who the hell is messing with me? Are you tired of life?"
Yuchi Gong immediately cursed, but when he looked up, he realized that the person who cursed him was not someone else, but his wife.
Yu Chigong's anger was extinguished immediately.
Then he said sarcastically: "Ah! Madam, why are you so angry? What happened?"
After hearing what Yuchi Gong said, Mrs. Yuchi suddenly became very angry.
He went up and pinched Yu Chigong's ears, and said harshly: "Old man, have you really improved your skills? How dare you go to a dirty place like the No. 1 Hospital in the World?"
"Have you enjoyed your time? Why are you still going home? You might as well live in the No. 1 Hospital in the World and die there. Don't come back!"
Hearing his wife's words, Yu Chigong was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder split.
Damn it, how did Madam know about this?
The key is, does Madam really know, or is she deceiving me?
Therefore, Yuchi Gong said tremblingly: "Madam, you are wronged! How could I go to that place? It's absolutely nothing. Who did you listen to?"
After hearing what Yuchi Gong said, Mrs. Yuchi became even more angry.
With a strong hand, it rotated 360 degrees.
"Hiss! It hurts! It hurts! Madam, be gentle, be gentle!"
Mrs. Yuchi said harshly: "Humph, Cheng Yaojin even recorded what you said and sent a gramophone to our house! Even these girls know about this, how dare you deny it?"
Upon hearing this, Yuchi Gong also became angry.
"What a fool like Cheng, he actually dared to trick me! No wonder he asked me to drink today, and even provoked me, saying that I didn't dare to go to the No. 1 building in the world! He was holding his bad thoughts in his heart!"
Mrs. Yuchi said angrily: "Oh, you just go when he prods you? Didn't you originally want to go? If you don't want to go, you won't go even if he prods you!"
After saying that, he twisted it hard again.
"Hiss! Madam, be gentle, be gentle! Yes, we went to the first floor in the world today, but we just listened to a play and didn't do anything!"
"Really, madam, we really didn't do anything! If you don't believe it, ask idiot Cheng!"
"Bah! There is no good thing between you and Cheng Daidi! He has done bad things himself. Ask him, can he tell the truth?"
As a result, Mrs. Yuchi pinched her so hard that Yuchi Gong's ears almost fell off, and he begged for mercy for a while.
In the end, Yuchi Gong swore an oath, and Mrs. Yuchi reluctantly believed him.
"A sneeze, a sneeze! A sneeze! A sneeze..."
Then, Yuchi Gong was shaking all over, with tears and runny nose running down his face, and his cold face changed color.
It's February, the spring is chilly, and it's still freezing.
I was just splashed with cold water by my wife. I was busy distinguishing it just now and didn't feel it yet.
Now, I am really frozen like a dog.
Mrs. Yuchi was both amused and distressed. She quickly found some clothes for him, dried him and put him into dry clothes.
Then they changed the bedding and asked him to lie down.
As soon as he touched Yuchi Gong's forehead, it burned as expected.
Mrs. Yuchi quickly sent someone to ask for the imperial doctor.
…
Let's say that Mrs. Cheng returned to the mansion in a furious manner, and then she saw Cheng Yaojin sitting on a wicker chair, drinking tea with his legs crossed, and humming and singing.
Forget about the refreshing feeling.
Mrs. Cheng was immediately furious and hit her with a stick.
"Hey, madam, what are you doing? Why are you hitting someone?"
"Huh! You're the one I'm going to beat! You're a worthless thing, but you still go to a place like the No. 1 Hospital in the World where stolen goods are stolen? There are so many maids in the house, and there's not enough food for you? Do you have to go to a place like that? I'll beat you to death, beat you
Kill you!"
As Mrs. Cheng spoke, she picked up the stick and started beating him randomly.
Cheng Yaojin ran around the room with his head in his hands and said loudly: "Madam, you are wronged, you are really wronged! It's nothing!"
"Don't you still know what my husband is like? How could my husband go to that kind of place?"
After hearing what Cheng Yaojin said, Mrs. Cheng was even more angry!
"Okay, you dare to lie! You are such a shameless person. You sent all the gramophones to Yuchi's house, and now you are pretending to be a serious person, aren't you?"
After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin immediately understood what was wrong.
My wife was in Yuchi Mansion at that time!
This time, it was really over.
"Madam, listen to me, things are not what you think!"
"You, you - wuwu, you are really mad at me! Wuwu! Cheng Yaojin, can you honestly tell me, am I the kind of jealous person?"
"Woo! A few days ago, I said I would take a concubine for you, but you don't want it yourself! If you want, just take another concubine, and don't go to that place, okay? Woo!"
Seeing his wife crying bitterly, Cheng Yaojin felt quite unhappy.
He couldn't help but hugged Madam, and then said: "Madam, can you listen to me? Liang'er gave me a gramophone today, and I just wanted to make a big black face."
"Then I deliberately provoked him and tricked him into saying those words, which I secretly recorded. We both went to the No. 1 hospital in the world, but we didn't do anything!"
"I really haven't done anything. I just want to fix that black-faced guy. If you don't believe it, I swear-"
