From the Late Qing Dynasty to the 21st Century

Chapter 16
Don't think about it, Young Master Shen's chicken is the name Shen Luoxing gave to the ginseng chicken he raised. It has no other meaning, just like the third young master's sword. After all, it sounds so good.

Seeing that Shen Luoxing had accepted the plaque, the officer immediately asked Shen Luoxing, "Mr. Shen, do you still have that Young Master Shen's chicken? The emperor is still waiting for me to take it back. After a few days The year is considered to be good, and the emperor has always been more economical, so this time I plan to borrow your chickens to hold a banquet, planning to entertain all the officials."

Good guy, these words really touched Shen Luoxing's heart, Shen Luoxing was worried, the chickens that he had raised for so many years, he basically ate them himself, even if they were sold, he never sold them. state capital.It's because the real effect of this chicken is basically spread in the upper class, and it can't be spread at all, and there is not much demand for the chickens raised by Shen Luoxing. Shen Luoxing's chickens with a price of 30 taels can't be sold for [-] taels a year. Only.

It's because some people considered Shen Luoxing half selling and half giving away, for example, why the emperor knew about Young Master Shen's chicken this time, it was because Shen Luoxing felt that he couldn't open the market at the beginning, so he asked Mr. A few chickens were sent to the public. It may be that Futai felt that this chicken was really miraculous, so it dedicated this chicken to the emperor, and that's why it came out now.

However, Shen Luoxing would not feel the need to thank the Futai because of this, because Shen Luoxing knew that the Futai had definitely benefited greatly from this behavior of giving away chickens.

You said why Futai didn't come to seize Shen Luoxing's chicken farm, just kidding, Shen Luoxing had already been on guard.

Shen Luoxing raised chickens of all years together and divided them into ten areas. Because the scale of the chicken farm is not very large, there are only six or seven hundred chickens, so as long as you put your heart into it, you can still sort out which ones. It's old chicken.

When others came to buy Young Master Shen's chickens, Shen Luoxing went in and caught them all by himself. No one knew what mark Shen Luoxing made.

Of course, the place where the chickens are raised can’t be hidden, so in the past, people would sneak into Shen Luoxing’s chicken place to steal the chickens, but the chickens they stole were all small chickens, which didn’t have good results. , no one would come to steal Young Master Shen's chicken, and it was widely rumored that Shen Luoxing's hand was the hand of God, and only the chicken he held would have any effect.

Now the emperor has brought an opportunity, and the reputation of his chicken has risen, so that customers from other places will appear, and he can raise the price appropriately.

So Shen Luoxing was very attentive, and saw that Shen Luoxing entered the chicken coop alone, and after a while, two hens were brought out, and then returned to the hen coop, and two more hens were picked up. Ten big chickens together weighed about seventy or eighty catties.

Shen Luoxing understood the emperor's banquet. Basically, each of the hundreds of people would only have a small bowl, and these ten chickens were more than enough.

After receiving the 300 taels of silver from the official messenger, Master Shen couldn't help but look at his own plaque again, and put it in the tablet room of the Shen family.

Time passed quickly, and in just a short while, everyone in the county knew that Shen Luoxing was famous for raising chickens, so some people who didn't believe it before wanted to buy it, but Shen Luoxing couldn't supply it. Refused for the above reasons.

In this way, another three months passed, and it was already after the autumn harvest. In the evening, Shen Luoxing had just returned to the Shen Mansion from the chicken farm, but saw many carriages and horses outside the Shen Mansion. Shen Luoxing knew it right away. The reputation of their own chickens has already been spread.

Sure enough, these were servants and relatives of officials in the court, and they all came to buy chickens. Although it looked like a lot, in fact, there were only a hundred or so after counting, but it was getting late, and Shen Luoxing Let them stay in the city first, and go catch chickens tomorrow.

Some people came again the next day, but not as many as the first day, so Shen Luoxing entertained them all. After working hard all morning, every family who came finally got a chicken.

In fact, some people wanted to buy more, but Shen Luoxing insisted that he didn't have that many chickens, so they gave up.

But this is not a lie. There are really not many old chickens in the chicken coop, and I have to keep a few for myself. Today, I took out more than 160 chickens a day, and there are only dozens of chickens left, so this Shen Luoxing also slaughtered them severely this time, each chicken cost 100 taels of silver to take away.

Just like that, those people still wanted to bid, but they were stopped by Shen Luoxing.

After another day, there were still people coming to Shen's residence to buy chickens, but Shen Luoxing, who had already suffered tens of thousands of taels of silver, was already tired, so he asked people to make a noise. Young Master Shen's chickens were sold out, and those who needed them would come back next year. , from now on, two hundred young master Shen's chickens will be sold every year during the autumn harvest.

The news spread quickly, and those who didn't buy it had nothing to do but wait until next year. The matter of buying chickens for the autumn harvest was gradually accepted, and then the name of Young Master Shen's chicken was forced to change. It became the autumn harvest chicken, or Bailiang chicken.

After hearing about Shen Luoxing's success, the gentleman who was far away in the academy recalled what he had said when Shen Luoxing dropped out of school, and sighed after a long period of sadness, "I didn't expect that my words really came true! .”

Master Shen saw that his son became famous for raising chickens. From this point of view, two hundred chickens a year, one chicken costs 100 taels, and he can earn 2 taels of silver a year, which is already more profitable than himself. I silently made a decision in my heart.

What, you say cost?What are you kidding, there is no cost compared with 100 taels of silver.

Three days later, Master Shen called Shen Luoxing, saying that the Li family wanted to marry him, and all the matchmakers came to the door.

Shen Luoxing glanced at the complacent Mr. Shen, and then at the matchmaker. He seriously suspected that the matchmaker was called by Mr. Shen himself, but it was about the Li family's marriage. "Is Li Qingwan on the other side?"

"Yes, it's that little girl. Doesn't she often come to the door? I think that girl is also interested in you. If you don't object, I will help you agree." Master Shen explained with a smile.But she didn't know that Xue'er was hiding at the door and listening. Dou Da's tears were about to fall, but there was no sound.

The same thing happened in the Li family, but just after hearing Master Li saying that she was going to marry Shen Luoxing, Li Qingwan jumped up happily and hugged Master Li, obviously very satisfied.

However, the case can be solved through this. This matter was jointly arranged by Master Shen and Master Li.

"Okay, if you don't say anything, I will take it as your acquiescence, and we will get engaged in a few days. When you are all sixteen, you will get married. I can also hand over the Shen family's family business to you. I can't help but want to I have a grandson." The more Master Shen said, the more complacent he became, his face seemed to be wrinkled with a smile, and he made the decision.

As for Shen Luoxing, in fact, he was still in shock, "Am I going to get married?" Then Shen Luoxing thought of Li Qingwan's appearance around him, she was indeed quite beautiful, and he had already agreed in his heart , but at this moment, Xue'er's figure suddenly flashed in Shen Luoxing's heart.

"I'm married, what will Xue'er think?" Suddenly Shen Luoxing saw Xue'er running to her room with tears in her eyes, "Xue'er!" Shen Luoxing couldn't help shouting.

After hearing this, Xue'er ran even faster, and hid in her room as if fleeing for her life.
