The next day, early in the morning, Lu Zheng was woken up by the crowing of roosters outside his door.
"What's going on?"
"Young Master, there's a man outside with two hens. He says they were sent by order of North City Landlord Wang from Feng City."
Lu Zheng donned his inner garment and stepped outside, just as Uncle Li came to report from the back courtyard.
"Old Wang is quite courteous, starting to send gifts already today." Lu Zheng said softly, then nodded, "Got it, accept them."
Of course, Uncle Li didn't know anything, he listened to Lu Zheng's instructions, agreed, and then prepared to leave.
"By the way, from time to time, they might send some chickens over, just go ahead and accept them." Lu Zheng reminded.
"Yes, understood!" Uncle Li replied, having a bit of understanding now, he went out, took the hens, and gave the man a few coins in return.
"Keep one at home and send the other to the Liu Family." Lu Zheng said, then went out, heading towards Leping Building.
