Chapter 517

A bright, sunny morning.

With his schoolbag on his back, Zhang Cheng pushed his bicycle out.

However, just as he saw the steamed bun shop on the street corner, he walked right up to it.

"Give me two meat buns!"

Taking out his wallet, Zhang Cheng paid the bill, then looked at the meager amount of money left in his hand and immediately frowned.

Now there was only a little over two hundred left, but for him, this amount of money probably wouldn't last long.

After all, Zhang Cheng was someone who truly had no concept of money, because whenever he was short, he would usually go and "borrow some"!

However, due to his geographical location, even if he wanted to "borrow," it probably wasn't very likely.

"I have to think of a way, otherwise I'll be drinking mung bean milk sooner or later!"

Thinking of the taste of mung bean milk, a look of inexplicable discomfort appeared on Zhang Cheng's face.

Because that stuff really wasn't something an average person could handle.

Why has mung bean milk been able to survive in the capital for so long? It's because there are always outsiders who aren't afraid of death!

Just like West Lake vinegar fish, it's something the locals don't even want to eat, so why do you dare to order it?

As for the matter of not believing in evil, Zhang Cheng thought once was enough, but he didn't expect that there would always be people who would try, and these people were the stubborn ones in the Far East!

You tell him there's a traffic policeman ahead, and he'll immediately stop his e-bike, but if you say the road ahead is blocked, he'll insist on driving over to take a look?

"These days, selling discs should be quite profitable, right?"

Rubbing his chin, Zhang Cheng casually stuffed the meat bun into his mouth.

Not long after, once Zhang Cheng arrived at school, he saw Fang Hui walk into the classroom holding her breakfast and placing it on the desk.

Lifting his head, Zhang Cheng looked at Fang Hui with a face full of curiosity, his eyes wide open.

"Um, the handkerchief isn't dry yet, please have some breakfast!"

Just after Fang Hui finished doing this, Lin Jiajia came to his side curiously and said, "She's treating you to breakfast?"

"I'm not blind, I saw it!"

Turning his head to speak to Lin Jiajia, Zhang Cheng explained with a serious face.

"No, is this love at first sight?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng curiously, Lin Jiajia couldn't help but smile.

"I think it's lust at first sight! Same for you, don't get too close to me, I don't like men!"

Stopping Lin Jiajia from continuing to get close, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but push her away.

And upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Lin Jiajia was immediately shocked and said, "No, Zhang Cheng, what do you mean? What do you mean by 'men'?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng angrily, Lin Jiajia immediately became annoyed.

"Zhang Cheng, you..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zhao Ye also hurriedly walked up.

Looking at Zhao Ye, Zhang Cheng then said, "Zhao Huohua, do you know where one can set up a stall?"

"Set up a stall?"

Suddenly hearing this, Zhao Ye was also stunned and said, "There's a night market nearby, if you want to, you can go there!"

However, just after saying this, Zhao Ye immediately said, "Wait, I'm damn well called Zhao Ye, not Zhao Huohua!"

"Okay, Zhao Huohua!"

Looking at Zhao Ye seriously, Zhang Cheng hurriedly nodded.

With his mouth twitching as he looked at Zhang Cheng, Zhao Ye was left with no temper at all by what he said.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

The bell for class rang, and Lin Jiajia immediately pointed at Zhang Cheng and said, "You just wait!"

Looking at Lin Jiajia with a smile on his face, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, looking as if he didn't care at all.

"Today is history class, please open your books, students! Today we will talk about Longqing..."

And just as the teacher was speaking, the students below also started taking notes one after another.

However, more people were slacking off.

"Although Emperor Longqing's reign was very short, his contributions to the Great Ming are indelible, for example, the Longqing Opening..."

But just as the history teacher was speaking, Zhang Cheng raised his hand and said, "Teacher, I have something to say. Actually, the suggestion for the Opening was made by Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng executed it..."

"Oh? How do you know that?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, the teacher couldn't help but frown.

"Because... I don't know either!"

Looking at the history teacher awkwardly, Zhang Cheng instantly fell silent.

Because he couldn't possibly say that Gao Gong's suggestion was very good, but the person wasn't, so he just removed him! After all, Gao Gong was the renowned 'Gao the Cannon' back then; if he had become the Senior Grand Secretary, it would have taken at least three years for Zhang Cheng and Zhang Juzheng to control the imperial court!

So there was no other way, Zhang Cheng got rid of Gao Gong and sent him straight to Kyushu Island!

"Don't interrupt the teacher's lecture casually next time!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, the history teacher then continued.

Turning his head to look at Zhang Cheng, Fang Hui asked with a puzzled face, "Are you very familiar with history?"

"I suppose so!"

Explaining to Fang Hui, Zhang Cheng couldn't possibly say that he was an eyewitness to that period of history!

Although the Great Ming back then wasn't suffering from both internal and external troubles, it was almost on the verge of collapse.

There were Japanese pirates in the south, Anda Khan in the north, land annexation internally, and Yan Shifan, Xu Jie, and others in the court.

But what was the result? In the end, they were all trampled to death by Zhang Cheng one by one!

So, if you want to talk about the fifteenth year of Wanli, he doesn't know much! But if you mention Longqing, he's way too familiar with it!

After all, the beauties Zhang Cheng received as tribute from overseas every year were counted by the reinforced regiment!

After school in the afternoon, the teenagers pushing their bicycles walked out of the school campus one after another.

Chasing behind Zhang Cheng, Lin Jiajia said angrily, "Stop right there, Zhang Cheng!"

"Do you need something?"

Asking Lin Jiajia, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but speak up.

"Can't I look for you if I don't have anything to do? Where are you going to set up your stall? Can you take me with you?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng curiously, Lin Jiajia couldn't help but ask.

"Set up a stall? Um, can I go along too!"

Seeing Lin Jiajia lean in next to Zhang Cheng, Zhao Ye also hurriedly followed up.

But looking at Zhao Ye before him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but have his mouth twitch, because in this life, the thing he hated most was bootlickers.

Just like this Zhao Ye, if you could succeed, fine, but you only know how to show concern, what's the use?

"Setting up a stall with me, you might get beaten up, do you really want to go?"

Looking at the two, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask.

"No, is there any necessary connection between setting up a stall and getting beaten up?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, Zhao Ye and Lin Jiajia were both stunned.

"That's because I'm a person of integrity!"

Speaking with a smile on his face, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up, looking very proud!

Riding his bicycle back with Fang Hui, Zhang Cheng, Lin Jiajia, and Zhao Ye agreed on a place.

Seeing that no one came to find trouble today, Zhang Cheng felt a sense of relief.

After all, always encountering trouble would make him feel a headache too!

Finding a shop that sold discs, Zhang Cheng bought over a hundred discs that didn't need labels, then paid the money, and incidentally used a marker pen to write special marks on them.

At the bustling night market, Lin Jiajia and Zhao Ye were dumbfounded as they watched Zhang Cheng squatting on the ground, arranging the discs.

Because they didn't expect that Zhang Cheng's so-called stall was to sell this stuff.

"Brother, the discs you have here? Do you have that kind?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, a young man walked over.

"The 'crooked' discs, right? Yes, yes, yes! Look at this one, authentic 'European and American romantic action films', guaranteed to be exciting, everyone who's seen them says they're good!"

Giving a thumbs up, Zhang Cheng smiled.

And upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the young man immediately asked, "How much?"

"Not much, ten yuan!" Zhang Cheng said.

"What, ten yuan? Why don't you go rob someone?" the youth said.

"Brother, I'm already taking a huge risk coming out to do this, you know that, get caught once and I'll be bankrupt! I invested a lot of capital!"

Speaking to the youth, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but explain.

"If the discs aren't good, I'll come back and find trouble with you!"

Pointing at Zhang Cheng, the youth immediately picked up the disc and turned to leave.

And watching the youth leave, Lin Jiajia said with a look of disgust, "No, Zhang Cheng, you're selling this stuff!"

"Isn't Sylvester Stallone's First Blood a European and American romantic action film? Love, hate, and enmity, that counts as romance too, right?"

Looking at Lin Jiajia suspiciously, Zhang Cheng stared at her with a questioning look.

But hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Zhao Ye was dumbfounded; no wonder this kid said he would get beaten up, because if the 'yellow' disc isn't yellow, why are you selling it as a 'yellow' disc!
