Chapter 39: 8.19 Price Limit Order Collapses

Soon we arrived at the top floor of Taiping Hall.
Due to the good sound insulation, the moment the turtle slave opened the door, He Yuzhu heard the girl inside singing a little song in the soft Wu dialect.
He subconsciously knew that this was the top girl from the southern class in the Eight Great Hutongs.
I also understood what the turtle slave meant when he said he was in high spirits.

"Master Wu, your meal is here. Do you think you should let him in now?"

"Well, come in!"

After receiving the signal from the turtle slave, He Yuzhu lowered his head and walked quickly into the room.

"Greetings to Master Wu!"

He didn't look at the pretty girl singing the song the whole time. He just came to the table, opened the food box and started serving the dishes.

I glanced at Lin Wenhua, who was listening to music while tapping the table with his thick fingers. As soon as the dishes were served, I heard him ask,
"Did you, Guo Zhangzao, make this yourself?"

"Yes, Master Wu, this is made by Chef Guo himself. He sent it to you right after it came out of the pot.
Please enjoy your meal! "

After hearing He Yuzhu's answer, Lin Wenhua took up his chopsticks, tasted the food, nodded, and then took out a gold yuan note and threw it over.
"You know the rules. This is a reward for you. Go down!"

"Thank you for the reward, Master Wu."

He lowered his head and came out of the room, the turtle slave closed the door, and waited until he could no longer hear the sound from inside before he heard him say,
"Sure, kid, it's rare to find a guy like you who knows the rules.
Someone in your family must have taught you this, no wonder Master Wu gave you money as a reward."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu thought to himself, where can I find someone to teach me?
It's just that I watched too many TV dramas, and I didn't want to waste 800 taels of gold to buy my life, so I just did what was said.
As for the reward money,

That was the credit of the girl from the South Class. It had nothing to do with him.
"Look at what you said. If it weren't for you today, I don't know how many mistakes I would have made.
You take this!"

Looking at the gold yuan coupons handed over by He Yuzhu, the turtle slave was also a little surprised.
You know, this is half an ocean.

An apprentice like him wouldn't get much more in lottery money from his master in a month.

Seeing that He Yuzhu's expression was not fake, Gui Nu felt that this person was no ordinary person and would definitely be a big shot in the future, so he took it with a smile.

"Okay, I won't be so hypocritical with you. My name is Bi Dadong. Come to our Taiping Hall and look for me in the future."

"He Yuzhu, you can just call me Zhuzi.

I won’t bother you today. I’ll come and have a drink with you when I have time.”

When he returned to Fengze Garden, he saw He Daqing waiting for him at the kitchen door. He Yuzhu probably knew that he was worried about him.
"Dad, what are you doing?"

Seeing that He Yuzhu had returned safely, He Daqing, who had been worried for a long time, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm home!

I hope Master Wu didn't do anything to you."

"I'm not stupid. Look, I'm back safe and sound."

"Okay, I'm glad you're back. Let's get back to work!"

Not long after He Daqing left, several apprentices came around.
Laughing in an extremely obscene way,

"Zhu Zi, Taiping Guild Hall is a famous first-class brothel in Peking. The girls from Jiangnan there are all very pretty.

You’ll have a feast for your eyes today!”

Looking at these wretched guys, He Yuzhu couldn't help but shook his head.

"Well, you know it's a first-class club, and those who go there are either powerful or pretentious.
Either we can't afford to offend them, or we just listen to the music seriously.

What a feast for the eyes.

Besides, that was Master Lin Wu, I didn’t even dare to look at him any more.”

Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't see anything, several people couldn't help but feel disappointed. Just as they were about to leave, they heard him say, "By the way, Master Wu gave me a dollar today.

I used it to build a relationship with Bi Dadong from Taiping Hall. If you go to Taiping Hall to deliver food in the future, you may find him and he will give you a feast for your eyes. "

When the apprentices heard He Yuzhu say that Lin Wenhua had given him a dollar, they were all very surprised.
That was Lin Wenhua. He was lucky not to be beaten.

Moreover, the money handed over to the counter belonged to the master He Daqing as a tip for the ceremony, and the apprentices did not get a penny.

But now He Yuzhu is using it to build relationships and let them take advantage of him.

Naturally, everyone was smiling.

"Zhu Zi, you are really capable. You can actually get a reward from Wu Ye.
do not worry,
If we get any benefit, we will definitely not forget you."

"It's Zhuzi. Don't worry, we will treat you to a meal later."

After delivering a few more takeaways, the day's work is coming to an end.
After Luan Xuetang arranged the tasks for the next day, He Yuzhu carried his sister on his back and followed He Daqing out of Fengze Garden.

Leaving behind a group of poor apprentices to finish and clean up.

The next day, we arrived at Fengze Garden.

He Yuzhu heard from Luan Xuetang that Lin Wenhua had a good opinion of him and asked him to deliver takeout food in the future.
Other than that,

There is no news from Mr. Yao, and there is no change in his work.
The days became dull and tedious, and nothing major happened except that Xu Damao and his classmates signed up for school.

It's September now.
After the waxy stage of wheat, it rains and blows from time to time.

In order to prevent the crops from falling over and causing a reduction in production, a large-scale grain harvest began in the north.

As the autumn harvest comes to an end,

The food supply in the market did not increase, but became increasingly tight. Then the [8.19 price limit order] could not be implemented, and prices began to soar.
Fengze Garden was also affected.

this morning,

He Yuzhu held an umbrella, walked barefoot, and carried He Yushui on his back, wading through the black water on the ground, one step deep and one step shallow.
Following He Daqing on Zhengyangmen Street,
Dashilan, which was quite prosperous yesterday, has now become quite deserted as many shops have closed down due to the inability to replenish their goods.

Arriving at Fengze Garden,
At this time, the shopkeeper Luan Xuetang, the kitchen manager Guo Youzhong and others put their hands in their sleeves, leaned against the gate, and stared blankly at the street outside.

"Shopkeeper, Master Guo,

What happened? It was fine yesterday, why is it like this today? "

Hearing He Daqing's question, Luan Xuetang came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh.

"What else could it be?
It’s not like you didn’t see it a while ago.

This year's new grain has arrived, but the grain supply on the market has not increased at all. Seeing this situation, merchants naturally began to be reluctant to sell.
Isn’t this what happened in the end? "

"Didn't Mr. Jiang crack down on illegal merchants who hoarded goods in Songhu and killed many people?

How dare they commit crimes against the wind?"

As soon as He Daqing finished speaking, he heard Luan Xuetang sneer.
"You are too naive, Master He.
You only know that Mr. Jiang severely cracked down on illegal merchants in Songhu, but you don't know that the illegal merchants who hoarded the most supplies in Songhu were Mr. Kong and Mr. Du.

As soon as Mr. Jiang captured the two men, President Jiang personally intervened.
In the end, he was forced to apologize to Master Kong and Master Du.

As soon as the news came out, all the merchants and wealthy people began to follow the example of the two princes, Kong Du.
[8.19 Price Limit Order] It’s game over.”
