Chapter 245: Encounter with the Gangsters

For the sake of He's Bi, thank you Timsong for your He's Bi

……

Several big men immediately shouted into the loudspeaker.

"Ice cubes, ice cubes, a big pot of five cents!"

Ice, which can be found everywhere in winter, is worthless.

But in ancient times when there was no air conditioning fan, ice cubes were the only way for those rich and noble families to relieve the heat in the hot summer, and its price can be imagined.

It usually costs a few hundred dollars to buy such a pot.

This way, Zhao Qing only added ice to the carriage once, and it cost more than a thousand taels of silver.

The average small household simply can't afford it.

You've never seen such a cheap one.

Especially at noon, even the vendors who set up stalls at the market crowded over to get a few pots and put them on the side of the stalls to relieve the heat.

A large pile of ice cubes was snatched up in an instant.

Zhao Jun's eyes widened.

Is that okay too?

No wonder the book says that in the hands of a man who knows how to do business, rubble can turn into gold.

“…… Get out of the way, get out of the way, who's the master of this stall! ”

The sale was in full swing, and I saw more than a dozen men with meaty faces and fierce gods rushing in, and the sticks in their hands were still waving.

was queuing up to sell peaches, everyone saw this group of people, frightened bang, for fear that if they ran slowly, they would die, and they were chased by wolves like rabbits to both sides.

A large area of land was vacated in front of the stall in an instant.

The scattered crowd did not leave, but gathered around from a distance, and the people behind even jumped to look inside.

“…… These carts of peaches. I'm afraid I can't keep it! ”

"Hey, it's not easy to do some business these days."

“……”

Someone has begun to shake their heads.

The eyes that looked at Zhao Qing's booth were full of naked sympathy.

There are also those who are not afraid of rotten people. With an excited face, he looked forward to the fight later, and he could take the opportunity to pick up a few flying peaches and try them.

“…… They are deliberately finding fault, what should they do? Several men who were maintaining order in front trotted to Zhao Qing's side, and their faces, which were still red just now, faintly turned pale.

Zhao Qing, who was sitting in the shade, slowly stood up.

"Smash me!" A group of men rushed to the front, and the first one wore a silver-gray shoulder. The man, whose face was full of flesh and torn arms, revealing a large patch of chest hair, opened his mouth and shouted viciously.

"Wait!" As soon as the words fell. was stopped by Zhao Qing.

Unexpectedly, the stall owner turned out to be a woman, and the stick wielded by the man was fixed in mid-air.

The crowd rushing behind him also stopped in unison.

"I'm new to your land, and I'm not familiar with the rules of your land, so if you have any offense, please ask this big brother Haihan." Zhao Qing didn't blink before he grabbed two silver ingots from the silver basket and threw them over. “…… Give the brothers a drink. When you go out, you have many friends and many roads. ”

Offend?

Don't you know if you offend someone?

The man snorted coldly in his heart, but there was a cruel smile on his face, "...... Don't you know that you didn't pay the protection money? ”

Zhao Qing frowned.

"Didn't you hand it over last night?"

Knowing that the head snake is not easy to mess with, before coming to the market, Zhao Qing had already asked Miao Hanqing about the rules here.

Shangheji was originally the territory of the Qing Gang, but since the Qing Gang was destroyed, this Shangheji was taken over by a small local gang that was originally inconspicuous. Over the past few years, it has become bigger and bigger. The gang was renamed the Shanghe Society, and all those who came from other places to set up stalls first had to bring generous gifts to visit You Liuzi, the president of the Shanghe Society, and then pay a protection fee ranging from 100 to 10 taels according to the size of the stall.

Otherwise, just wait to be smashed.

She was very disgusted with this set in her heart, but Zhao Qing didn't want to cause trouble, she still had more than 200 cars of peaches in her hand to deal with it in a hurry, she didn't want to entangle with these people.

Break the fortune and avoid disasters.

She prepared a generous gift overnight yesterday and asked Miao Hanqing to take Zhao Jun and Gu Changsheng to meet You Liuzi, and paid ten taels of silver for the protection.

That's why they got such a big stall.

The man took the silver and put it on the mat, and then threw it out.

"With such a little silver, how about sending it to Hanako?" looked at Zhao Qing menacingly, "I collected ten taels yesterday, I thought you only had a carriage of peaches, but who knew that you had pulled so many carts behind my back!" ”

Zhao Qing frowned.

She forced her patience and asked with a smile, "...... What does this big brother mean, ten taels of peaches in a car? ”

"That's right, it's a cart of peaches and ten taels!" The man nodded.

There was a sigh all around.

"It's been a rule for many years, no matter how many goods there are, a stall can be up to ten taels!"

"It's not a peach who is not a red eye, bullying her is a woman!"

“……”

Everyone on the set was indignant, but they dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, and they all secretly sighed that Zhao Qing was unlucky.

You Liuzi is watching her peaches make money, and her eyes are red.

"They are bullying you from outsiders......" Several big men on the stage had already jumped down and gathered in front of the carriage, and someone lowered their voices and said to Zhao Qing, "It's not good to be entangled by these people...... It's really not good, the third grandmother will close the stall. Several people looked at Zhao Qing worriedly.

These people, squatting at the gate of Shizhou City every day to sell coolies, it is rare to meet an employer who is so generous, seeing that peaches are selling so well, I thought I could make a big profit today, but I didn't expect it......

Several people shook their heads.

Although they have a lot of strength, their families are all in Shizhou Mansion.

To these blacks. The people of the way, if they are killed, they will not dare to offend.

Zhao Qing lowered his head and thought about it.

"Good!" She raised her head and replied briskly, "Ten taels is ten taels, I have a total of five cars here, and I will give you fifty taels." So saying, she took three more silver ingots from the basket and threw them over.

The man froze.

Say a cart of ten taels, it is a lion's big mouth.

He thought that the woman in front of him would retreat from the difficulty and took the initiative to leave the market.

I didn't expect her to be so refreshing, and she agreed without blinking an eyelid.

Don't they all say that women are the most angry?

How could she be so generous, throwing out dozens of taels of silver like throwing stones?

For a while, the man was a little in retreat.

Yes, he received the money and was entrusted by someone to come to find trouble, what is it like this to leave?

No, in front of everyone's eyes, he has already spoken, how can he regret it.

Staring at Zhao Qing, the man's face was red and white, and for a while, he didn't know how to answer.

After a few dozen breaths of silence, his brow suddenly froze.

"Fifty taels?" Snorted coldly, "Who are you fooling?" You still have 200 carriages in the Laishun Inn! ”

Wow......

The crowd suddenly boiled.

The man's face turned red, and then his face turned grim.

"Two hundred carriages, ten taels for one cart, two thousand taels, not a penny less!"

Zhao Qing's face also turned cold.

“…… Is this impossible to talk about? ”

"Smash me!" The man was already shouting.

It doesn't matter if he bullies a weak woman or not, it's only right to get her away quickly.

It was beyond his expectations.

Hearing him shout loudly and want to move seriously, the woman in front of her was not afraid, but turned around, sat on the stool next to the carriage, turned her head and whispered orders to the people behind her.

What's going on?

Slightly stunned, the man immediately waved his stick and rushed over.

It doesn't matter what his situation is, smash it first, and everything will be clear! (To be continued.) )
