Chapter 251: Blood boiling (second update)
“Fresh and unique bread, sweet and soft, try it for free.”
Jiang Zhiluo cut many small pieces of bread in advance and placed them on the plate, with a toothpick on each one for everyone to taste.
In the past, Jiang Zhiluo spent most of her time selling bread at residents’ residences.
But there may be rumors of war recently. Everyone has stored more food and bought less things.
Jiang Zhiluo just wanted to sell bread at the dock.
There are many businessmen coming and going at the dock. They have some backgrounds and can still run boats at this time. Naturally, they don't care if there is a war outside.
Everyone will buy things when they should.
And it looks like the pier is still very lively.
Because of Jiang Zhiluo's shouting, people quickly gathered around.
“Is it really possible to taste it for free?”
“Yes, you can taste it for free. If you think it tastes good, buy it. If it doesn’t taste good, don’t buy it.”
Some people took it and tasted it. They thought it was good and asked about the price.
Jiang Zhiluo told everyone the price of each item.
“Give me two.”
"good."
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and handed the money to everyone while collecting the money.
Cui Qingci reacted and hurriedly helped, "I'll take care of it!"
She learned how to wrap bread with oil paper at home.
After wrapping, hand it to the customer.
With the help of Cui Qingci, the speed is actually faster.
Some people also recognized Jiang Zhiluo and said with a smile: "Miss Jiang has come out to set up a stall."
“That’s right, Auntie, I haven’t seen you for many days.”
“That’s right, why don’t I see you making chili con carne?”
“If Auntie wants to buy chili con carne sauce, I’ll make some and set up a stall to sell in a few days.”
The woman smiled and said: "Okay, the chili con carne is easy to store. We are also thinking of buying a few more bottles to take with us when we go boating. We can eat dry food on the way."
"But it would be great if you still sell brown sugar. After drinking the brown sugar you make, we feel it is good and our bodies feel warm after drinking it. The other brown sugar we buy is different from the brown sugar you sell."
Jiang Zhiluo was stunned. It was the time when she had just gotten married to Cui Hejin, and she was selling brown sugar at that time.
But boiling brown sugar is too troublesome. It takes a long time to make brown sugar, and you don’t make much money.
So she later started other businesses.
Jiang Zhiluo felt very friendly upon hearing this. "It turns out that Auntie, you bought something from me a long time ago."
“That’s right, the chive box you made is also delicious.”
While talking like this, Jiang Zhiluo collected the money, and Cui Qingci helped pack things.
“This is your sister, she looks so beautiful.”
Jiang Zhiluo said: "She is my sister-in-law."
The woman said with a smile: "You and your family are all good-looking."
This was the first time Cui Qingci was praised so openly, but she could tell that they really praised her.
She blushed and felt a little embarrassed, but she was very happy in her heart.
After handing the things to the woman, Jiang Zhiluo seemed to have thought of something and said, "Auntie, I remember that your fishing boat is fishing nearby. Why do you want to go far away?"
The woman said: "A wealthy family enlisted our ship to carry things and people to the south. They gave us a lot of money, so we agreed, otherwise we would not be willing to buy more things."
The woman bought four loaves of bread. Before, she would have been reluctant to buy these for food.
Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed when she heard this, "Your ships are not big, so why were they conscripted? There are many merchant ships over there."
The woman said: "Little madam, you don't know. Those big merchant ships have to transport a lot of goods. Now I heard that the ships are tight. Many families in Beizhou have to take boats to go south." "I heard that the rivers in the south are developed. The place was prosperous, and we thought that if it was good there, we would make a living by fishing there.”
Hearing these words, Jiang Zhiluo looked solemn. It seemed that many wealthy families had channels to get the news.
These people are planning to flee to the south.
Jiang Zhiluo continued to sell bread with a heavy heart.
While Jiang Zhiluo was thinking about these things, a gangster took a piece of bread and tasted it, then took another piece, and even reached out to grab the bread in the grate.
Jiang Zhiluo's hand moved faster, and a blast of energy shot through.
"ah!"
The gangster fell to the ground with pain in his hand.
He raised his head and said, "You didn't say you could taste it for free. I tasted it for free. Now you're bullying someone. My hand hurts. It must have been you."
This man looks like he is playing rogue.
Jiang Zhiluo crossed her arms and said coldly: "Oh? What do you think we should do?"
“Of course I have to compensate. Give me all your bread. Let’s just forget about it. Otherwise, you won’t be able to do business here.”
Jiang Zhiluo looked at this man with murderous intent in her eyes.
This man doesn't look like a gangster, and his evasive action just now looks like that of a practicing martial artist.
Are they bandits or did they deliberately cause trouble?
When someone saw this scene, their expressions changed.
There was an aunt who also knew Jiang Zhiluo and reminded her in a low voice: "My lady, please give him the things quickly. It's not peaceful here at the dock recently, and there are a lot of people making trouble."
"Even these people just came out of nowhere. There has never been anything like this before."
“Hey, the war outside has even affected us in Beizhou.”
Cui Qingci hurriedly pulled Jiang Zhiluo behind her. She took out a long knife in her hand and said, "If you want to bully someone, you have to ask me if I agree with this knife!"
Cui Qingci stepped on the stone next to her, holding a knife in one hand, with sharp eyes.
Jiang Zhiluo was still angry at first, but when she looked at Cui Qingci who was defending her, she was stunned for a moment.
She remembered that Mrs. Cui had said before that Cui Qingci had learned some skills in wielding swords and guns from the Cui family since she was a child.
It’s just that outsiders don’t know.
So Cui Qingci can also do some kung fu.
It’s true that such a beautiful woman was able to come all the way from Nanzhou to Beizhou because of her kung fu skills.
I have to say that Jiang Zhiluo's eyes lit up when she saw Cui Qingci like this.
The gangster didn't seem to take them seriously at all. He whistled and three or four people came immediately.
“Smash this stall down for me!”
Those three or four people had hammers in their hands and were about to smash the stall.
Jiang Zhiluo picked up the wooden stick on the ox cart and jumped up. The wooden stick in her hand was like a sword, like an afterimage, and she moved very fast.
She actually had murderous intentions at this moment, but in full view of everyone, she was not easy to kill.
But just after taking action, Jiang Zhiluo discovered that these people were from the Lian family, not ordinary gangsters at all.
She couldn't help but think of what Cui Hejin had said to her before.
It means that on the surface there are soldiers to quell the chaos, but secretly there are still some people who will rob food and medicinal materials.
Her expression became more solemn when she thought that Wei Xingye had been robbed of the medicinal materials he was delivering.
Could this be what the current emperor ordered to do?
Soon, Jiang Zhiluo knocked those people down.
Cui Qingci had just cooperated with Jiang Zhiluo in a tacit understanding. At this time, her heart was surging, and she looked at Jiang Zhiluo with a look of admiration in her eyes.
This is the hero among women!
She thought she was good at wielding swords and guns, but at this moment she realized that her sister-in-law was not good enough.
In full view of everyone, Jiang Zhiluo reserved her skills, making it look like she was struggling to knock the person down.
If possible, Jiang Zhiluo can kill these people with one move.
