To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough
Chapter 298 I Will Love You in This Life 12
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Li Yujin was full of energy. The dishes prepared by the chef were also served, including honey-glazed hot pot, fried meatballs, boneless roast chicken, braised beef in soy sauce, and soft-fried shrimps.
The greenhouse vegetables grown at home have also been harvested, a plate of stir-fried meat with garlic sprouts and a big bowl of spinach and egg soup.
Chu Yuhan pointed at the braised beef and said, "It just so happened that today an old yellow ox on the farm accidentally fell into a ditch and died.
It was slaughtered at the farm and sent here fresh. The beef has been braised all day and is now tender and flavorful. Try it with noodles. I think it would also be delicious with rouge rice."
Li Yujin secretly complained in his heart what a nonsense this was. Eating some beef was normal in modern times, but in ancient times it was like breaking the law of heaven.
If you eat beef and happen to encounter a dead or injured cow, the quarantine department will not allow you to slaughter the dead cow in modern times.
This was a delicacy in ancient times. Today, friends and relatives should all give some of this beef to try.
Some people say that it is not a big deal for the marquis's mansion to have money to eat beef, but in ancient times, people could slaughter working oxen and drive them three thousand miles at will, which was no joke.
The cows were killed on the same day and the people were brought back by the government on the same day. The emperor would personally preside over the spring plowing ceremony every year and no one else dared to act rashly.
In farmers' homes, the status of oxen is higher than that of humans, and even a tuft of their hair can make their owners feel very distressed.
The chef's cooking skills are getting better and better. The honey-glazed hot pot is sweet and salty with a moderate taste, soft, glutinous and fragrant. The roasted chicken has a smoky flavor and is soft and boneless. The most popular dishes on the table are still the two green vegetables.
Li Yujin ate a bowl of rice and a bowl of chicken noodle soup with braised beef.
After eating and drinking, Li Yujin pointed at the box and said, "Spend it and buy whatever you want. I won't use the money I earned today for anything else. Go to the silver shop tomorrow and buy whatever jewelry you like.
Today we are following Master Cui and enjoying the life of being rich!"
Chu Yuhan smiled and said: "You really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. How many jewelry can I buy with eight thousand taels of silver? Do I have enough of it?
Who wants to wear something heavy when they don't go out? It's really boring. But where did you get the box of gems you gave me?
Our jewelry store was so happy that the box of inlaid gems was sold at a high price. It was amazing how skillful the craftsmen were in polishing the gems to make them sparkle.
Our master was busy but couldn’t even finish this meal.”
Li Yujin was stunned. Wasn't that a box of Swarovski crystal diamonds? A few days ago, he saw Chu Yuhan worrying about the patterns on her clothes. What was there to worry about? He already had the things sewn on those clothes!
So he filled a large box with them to sew clothes for his wife. Chu Yuhan was quite shocked. So many beautiful gems to sew clothes?
Being so extravagant, she was rumored to be the reincarnation of Daji. She kept some of the good ones to make a few collar flowers and hairpins, and took the rest to her own silver shop to be designed into jewelry and sold.
This batch of jewelry became popular throughout the capital. Which woman could resist such shiny things? Even though they were expensive, they were sold out.
Li Yujin, a rich second-generation young man, has never given his girlfriend such cheap jewelry. This is simply subverting his worldview.
Looking at the glittering hairpin on Chu Yuhan's head, he had the same feeling as if he had accidentally clicked on a Pinxixi item with free shipping for 9.9 yuan.
It's such a waste of the craftsman's skills. Such a complicated filigree craft is really wasted when combined with Yiwu glass.
As long as my wife is happy, it’s all good. My wife should try her best not to cause trouble. A pile of glass was sold for more than 200,000 taels of silver. Who would dare to believe this!
Chu Yuhan now believes that her husband has the capital to be a playboy. This is too grand and he even has connections overseas.
So Li Yujin enjoyed VIP treatment in the evening and was served attentively all night.
But the next day after being served, he still had to go to the morning court. Li Yujin, who had drunk the genetic modification liquid, would not be able to get up at all if his master changed.
For the first time in his life, Li Yujin took a carriage to attend court early in the morning. On the soft cushion, the emperor's Wuyi guards were dozing off.
Li Yujin didn't have to attend the court meeting. He had been assigned the task of confiscating property, so he had to work hard and leave early. Li Yujin arrived at the location to count the personnel. The unlucky one today was Lord Liu from the inner court.
The old man has been thrown into the Dali Temple, and his house has been surrounded. Today's task is too heavy, and we must raid the homes of several corrupt officials.
Li Yujin never gets tired of this kind of thing. These guys who usually appear to be righteous are exposed to the sun this time to see how dirty they are in private.
Lord Liu's house looks much more luxurious than Lord Cui's, and that's right. He's obviously doing the most lucrative job, so why is he pretending to be honest and upright?
Disgusting, isn't it? It's a shame! His family, young and old, lived a hard life with him, and he slept with a gold ingot as a pillow every day.
Lord Liu had quite a lot of valuables. Li Yujin estimated that the seized items were worth more than 700,000 taels of silver.
But this is not right. This is obviously not in line with Lord Liu's status. The Royal Guards were experienced this time. They chopped all the walls with swords and removed several bricks and smashed them to pieces.
The ceiling, floor and study were all tested with a spear.
The experts sent by the Ministry of Industry to investigate the mechanism also searched everywhere but did not find any mechanism or secret room in the mansion.
In ancient times, people’s valuables consisted of gold, silver, copper coins, jewelry and other things, which could not be carried on their bodies at all times.
There was absolutely no way this was all there was in the house. Li Yujin could only send a wisp of his spirit out to investigate. Finding things was still the job of the diligent lady. At this point, no one noticed a tender sprout slowly sinking into the ground.
Soon, Shenhun received a report from Madam Qin that there was a secret room under the well in the backyard.
Li Yujin touched his sword, separated from the crowd and went to the backyard.
There is a well near the kitchen. This is the water well for the Liu family. There is a windlass on it and a small shed on top to shelter from wind and rain.
Li Yujin threw the bucket down the windlass and drew up a bucket of water. He washed his hands and ordered the craftsmen sent by the Ministry of Works to tie a rope and go down with a torch to find the mechanism.
After a while, the people who went down really got something. They found a secret door on the wall of the well and found a secret room by following the secret door.
The exit was even stranger, as it was right under the big pot where people were cooking in the kitchen!
After moving the cauldron and pulling back the stone slabs beneath the cigarette case, a dark hole appeared before their eyes. The soldiers filed in.
Without hesitation, they moved whatever they could find. After this busy work, they moved out another 1.7 million taels of silver from the secret room.
This amount of silver was enough to report to the emperor. Li Yujin just had to do his job well and would never say anything else.
Everyone below knew about the young marquis's obsession with cleanliness, so they brought a throne chair with a thick cushion for Li Yujin, and placed a small eight-immortal table on which was placed beef jerky copied from the Liu Mansion.
This old guy has another crime: slaughtering working oxen for no reason.
