The Cui family was the most influential force in the operation. The rest of the thieves were mostly 'self-employed' people like Wuzhu Liulin who wanted to make a fortune overnight. Compared with the Cui family, they were nothing more than a bunch of rotten shrimps!
But no matter if they were big fish or small shrimps, to Li Zexuan, as long as they provoked him, they would have to pay the price!
Not only would these six families have to pay a "fine" of thousands of strings of coins, they would also face a "trade blockade" from the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce in the future!
The next day.
Wuzhu Liulin and the other "secret thieves" took the gold and silver that they had packed up yesterday and "fled" Chang 'an City.
Although Li Zexuan knew about it, he did not stop them.
Something worthy of mentioning was that the price of the Bond of Brothers in the Immortal Indulgence Inn had suddenly dropped greatly from 666 copper coins per serving to 333 copper coins per serving. The extent of the price drop was so great that it caused everyone to be astounded!
The number of diners heading to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant suddenly increased!
When the rich people saw this, they all complained that Manager Liu did not know how to do business. It was fine if he did not raise the price, but he lowered the price instead. This caused more and more people to come to eat, causing them to have to line up for a long time!
As for Yanhuang College, the price of the bean sprouts continued to drop from 300 copper coins to 150 copper coins. This time, the children from poor families did not hesitate anymore. They all ran to the cafeteria to order a serving of bean sprouts for themselves and slowly enjoyed it!
South of Chang 'an City, East Duke's Residence.
When Cui Junchuo heard that the price of the "Brotherhood Connection" had dropped, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong. With a gloomy face, he asked, "Has the secret recipe started to be tested yesterday?"
A servant beside him replied, "Reporting to Grand Duke, the secret recipe has been handed over to our restaurant's Manager Wang. They have already started to follow the secret recipe yesterday! It is estimated that it will take another four to five days for the beans to sprout! "
"Mm!"
Cui Junchuo's heart calmed down. He thought for a while and asked, "Where is that Wang Xiaogang who came yesterday? Is there any news about him? "
"Grand Duke, I've sent someone to check Wang Xiaogang's residence today. There's no one inside. It must be as he said. He fled Chang 'an yesterday because he was afraid of the Marquis of Yong' an's revenge!"
(Actually, the six people who turned themselves in yesterday and were sent out by Li Zexuan to "cheat" money had all been "hidden". Naturally, the Cui family couldn't find them.)
"Yes! We have to keep an eye on Li Zexuan's movements! "
"Yes, Great-grandfather!"
…
"Hmph! This group of people will definitely not have a good ending! Li Zexuan is not an easy person to deal with! "
Chang 'an City, Yanshou Square, inside a house.
Feng Zhidai stood on the red attic, looking at the houses in the distance and sneered.
"Second Young Master, it is clearly the Marquis of Yong 'an who is in a passive position. Why do you favor him?"
The black-faced guard cupped his fists and asked in confusion.
Feng Zhidai couldn't help but recall the night when Li Er led the civil and military officials to the Cloudy Mountain to see the moon, and the first time he met Li Zexuan face to face. After a long silence, he said with a complicated expression, "Ah Mu, never underestimate Li Zexuan. How can a bunch of mayflies shake this big tree?"
Others may be narrow-minded, but he is a man who has the universe, the sun, the moon, and the stars in his heart!
Feng Zhidai added in his heart.
A 'mu scratched his head. He didn't understand why his young master, who was fearless in Lingnan, would immediately "cower" when he came to Chang' an!
"Help me buy some" Brothers Linked Hearts "! Lingnan really can't compare to Chang 'an. This is called living! I've even put on some weight recently! "
Feng Zhidai let out a long sigh and said contentedly.
Although he was a hostage, he didn't have to worry about food and drink here. As long as he didn't leave Chang 'an, no one would restrict his freedom. He had good food and wine every day, and he was so happy that he forgot about home!
"Yes! Young Master! "
…
On the first day of the bean sprouts price reduction, Yanhuang College and Drunken Immortal sold a total of 2500 jin of bean sprouts. The Li family's remaining soybeans could only produce 7000 jin of bean sprouts. In other words, it could only support the consumption for three days.
However, Li Zexuan still didn't have any intention of buying soybeans.
But if someone paid attention, they might notice that many farmers had entered the city to buy large amounts of soybeans!
On the second day, the price of bean sprouts was slightly reduced again. At Drunken Immortal, it went from 333 copper coins to 300 copper coins. At Yanhuang College, it went from 150 copper coins to 130 copper coins!
There was no doubt that the number of customers at Drunken Immortal was even greater! The road from the Drunken Immortal Inn to the entrance of the Western Market was completely packed. Fortunately, Li Zexuan had opened a few branches of the Drunken Immortal Inn in Chang 'an City. Otherwise, the main branch of the Drunken Immortal Inn would have been overcrowded!
On the third day, the price of bean sprouts at Drunken Immortal dropped to 280 copper coins. At Yanhuang College, it went down to 110 copper coins! The once glorious bean sprouts that only the rich could enjoy suddenly became not so unattainable! Ordinary people could still squeeze out enough money to eat a plate of bean sprouts.
However, while the commoners were happy, East County Duke Cui Junchuo couldn't be happy!
"Bastard! This bastard lowered the price of bean sprouts so low. How can the Cui family make money when the bean sprouts are released? When will we be able to recoup the cost of 3000 copper coins? "
When Cui Junchuo heard the news, he couldn't help but smash vases and teacups in his residence. Everyone in the Cui family was in danger!
Li Zexuan couldn't care less about the Cui family's situation. He was leisurely carrying out his plan.
On the fourth day, the price of bean sprouts at Drunken Immortal dropped to 200 copper coins. At Yanhuang College, it went down to 100 copper coins. The people of Chang 'an couldn't help but feel happy. In the past, only the imperial family could eat fresh vegetables during winter. Now, they could eat a serving for 200 copper coins. This was too happy!
However, on this day, the Li family's bean sprouts were all used up. If Drunken Immortal wanted to sell "Brother Connected Heart" in the future, they could only buy it from elsewhere or ask Shopkeeper Liu to make it himself!
When Shopkeeper Liu first heard the news, he couldn't help but be anxious. However, Li Zexuan only said one word to him — "Buy"!
At that time, he really wanted to cry!
Because where would he go to buy something like that?!
But on the second day, a miracle happened!
"Shopkeeper Liu! I have more than 50 kilograms of bean sprouts. Do you want them? If you do, I can sell them to you at a cheaper price. "
That morning, when the door of Drunken Immortal opened, a burly man carrying a basket came in. It was Hu Hanyun from the Han Family Village!
Shopkeeper Liu recognized him and was shocked. He said in disbelief, "Old Hu? It's you? No, why do you have so many bean sprouts? "
