He was watching, only to hear Luo Dayuan shout: "How much?"

When the middle-aged thin man heard this, he said with a respectful smile: "Yo, this uncle, look at what you said, you are distinguished guests, patronizing the small shop, it is the glory of the small shop, the honor of the small shop, the villain's face is brightened, very welcome, I feel extremely happy It's too late, where can I still collect your money! Just eat, don't want money!"

When Luo Dayuan heard this, he screamed and shouted: "You let our brothers eat for nothing, how can this be!"

The middle-aged thin man was taken aback when he saw his scary appearance, hurriedly raised his hands, shook them continuously, and said with a smile: "Just a few baked cakes, not worth a few dollars, the villain is not bad for money, please afford it!"

Luo Dayuan was stunned for a moment, raised his right hand, scratched his scalp, and shouted: "You have a treat, this is okay!"

Seeing this, Sui Chengzhi was afraid of breaking Article 7 of the new regulations of the Taihu Gang: Anyone who steals the people's property will be punished with 100 taels of silver and sent to the owner. The gang rules stipulate that they are only strict, and they should be held accountable and strictly enforced, so as to show punishment and severe punishment.

As the saying goes: "No merit is not a blessing, no virtue is not favored." As long as this regulation is used to strictly control the people in the Taihu Gang, let them keep their own responsibilities and do their part, not to be idle, to wander around, only to take advantage, damage the prestige, harm others and themselves, and cause harm, as long as the new style is respected and the new style is flaunted. Let all the people in the Taihu Gang fully abide by it and act decently. In the future, the Taihu Gang will finally be able to succeed in being recognized by all the neighbors on the Taihu Islands and the people along the Taihu Lake, even to the end. It is recognized by all the people on the rivers and lakes, and on the rivers and lakes, it has become a real famous and decent person.

With this in mind, he had the intention to set an example, and he didn't want to invisibly destroy this new rule in the hands of his five brothers, so he wanted to start with his five brothers, take the lead in implementing it, and conscientiously implement it. Therefore, he immediately spoke up and said to the middle-aged thin man: "Shopkeeper, it's not easy for you to do business, the money must be collected, just make a price!"

The middle-aged thin man was careful not to charge them money, but he was polite, shook his hands continuously, and said with a smile: "It's really not!"

Sui Chengzhi listened. I was unhappy in my heart, and I saw what he meant, I really didn't want to collect money, and I thought: I want him to collect money by saying more. I'm afraid that he will not be willing, so I might as well be ruthless and force him to accept it. It's a little more practical. With this thought in his heart, his eyebrows were upside down. Flat-faced, pretending to be angry. He said politely: "If you ask for a price, you will make a price, Rory is verbose, what kind of! Come on, I'll pay!"

When the middle-aged thin man heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and said secretly: "It's not good, could it be that the people of the Taihu Gang are deliberately looking for fault!" Uncles, the villain pays the protection fee on time every month, as long as someone in your gang comes to take it, it must be handed over, and there has never been a arrears, only this, there are many uncles in your gang who know the villain, and they can all come out to testify for the villain, if you don't believe the villain's words, just find them out, and ask them to ask, if the villain has a lie, he will be hit by five thunderbolts from the sky, and he will not die well!" The leaders of the Taihu Gang, who are specially responsible for coming to collect protection money, and who are already familiar with each other in the Taihu Gang, are suspicious in their hearts, and they are even more afraid, and they are suspicious, but they only say yes, they have the heart to redeem themselves, self-rescue, and they look at the heroes of the five tigers, their faces are pitiful, and suddenly, they clasp their fists with both hands, bow down, show a sad face, and beg bitterly:" If the villain inadvertently did something wrong, offended your gang, or offended a few uncles, it was really the villain's mistakes made without knowing, not intentionally, a few uncles, you are magnanimous, adults have a lot, please be gracious, forgive and forgive, merciful, do not blame, let the villain go, just not ruthless, specifically to deal with the villain, the villain is grateful, keep in mind, great kindness, and will inevitably report in the future, now here, thank you in advance!"

Shui Ruohan heard it in his ears, and his heart was strange, and when he saw his situation, he was even more surprised, and in addition to being surprised, he wondered in his heart: Why did he ask him to collect money? Not only did he not want to, but he even took the initiative to apologize to us and admit his mistake and ask for forgiveness? What is the reason for such strange behavior, what is the reason, and what is the reason? Seeing the pitiful appearance of the middle-aged thin man, panicked and scared, scared enough, muttering in his heart, he was already sure, straight said: It seems that the Taihu Gang is indeed rampant and domineering everywhere on weekdays, acting as a blessing, doing evil, doing wrong, acting willfully, doing whatever he wants, flying and domineering, showing off his might, bullying the good, doing evil, making waves, acting badly, and the severity of the situation, which can be seen, decent people?

He was thinking about his thoughts, Sui Chengzhi on the side was already impatient to listen, without saying a word to explain more, to understand, without saying a word, stretched out his right hand, reached into his arms, sighed, a while, and took out a piece of silver from his arms, enough for one or two, "snap", casually threw it on the iron shell of the stove, looked at the middle-aged thin man, looked at him, and said in a deep voice: "Take it!" After doing this, he looked sideways, signaled to the four brothers beside him, and said, "Let's go." After speaking, he turned around, lined up the surrounding crowds, and walked away without looking back.

Shui Ruohan saw that the third brother had already set off and left, and the eldest brother, second brother, and fourth brother followed one by one, took a big stride, and walked eastward, knowing that he should also follow and set off together, so he didn't stay here for long, turned around quickly, and followed. When he turned around, his eyes were everywhere, and he glanced at the corner of his eye, and he saw the whole baked cake shop in full view.

I saw that this baked cake shop is a single-bay façade, covering a small area, the dark red wood plaque in front of the door is written with "Piji Baked Cake Shop" five ink-black big seal characters, the handwriting is scribbled, the penmanship is general, look at it from afar, but it can also be seen clearly, clearly recognizable.

Outside the bakery, a stove is placed outside the door to bake the biscuits. Not far from the stove, there is a large mahogany table, there is a rolling place on the table, which is full of flour, meat filling and condiments, and many edible things such as pots, dishes, dishes and chopsticks are placed next to it; there is a frying place placed on the table, the table is the same as the baking cake stove, the carbon is put into the firewood to make a fire, the iron pot and iron kettle steamer are all placed on the table safely, the pot is full of vegetable oil, used for hot frying fritters, the pot is full of soybean milk, used to boil hot drinks, the steamer is full of buns, for steaming and cooking. At this time, the fire is burning under the stage, the fire head is vigorous, and the iron pot and iron kettle steamer on the table are constantly baked, generating heat, the hot spot is extremely high, the vegetable oil in the pot is boiling and boiling, and the color is yellow, turbid and precipitated, how long has it been used, whether it is gutter oil and other residue oil, there is no way to obtain evidence, and it cannot be investigated, only that the fritters fried in this heat must be crispy and delicious, and the boiled soybean milk must be steaming and hot, and the steamed buns must be fragrant and fresh. The taste can be seen, and after tasting it, it is certain.

In front of the mahogany table, there is a strong man in gray clothes, who is constantly lighting fires, rolling noodles, making steamed buns, frying fritters, boiling soybean milk, steaming buns, busy, stopping, sweating, and wiping. There is also a strong man in gray, who is constantly standing and walking back and forth, serving fried dough sticks and soy milk, baked cake buns, cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and cleaning the table.

These two people are dressed up, and they know that they are guys in the store.

In addition, there are many tables and stools in the house, roughly calculated, there are seven or eight or so sheets, arranged neatly, at a glance, at this time, all the tables and stools are full of people, men, women and children, all there, eating food, gossiping. Not only is the inside of the house so lively, but also outside the house, it is also quite lively, with crowds and crowds. Among these people, most of them are old customers, specially come to patronize, queue up to buy Pi Ji baked cakes to eat, and a few people are in the market time, happen to walk to the left, look at the loud noise here, as if quarreling, curious, deliberately rushed into the crowd, leaned forward, watched around, and watched the excitement. Because of this, therefore, at this time, looking around, I saw inside and outside the door, sitting and standing, large and small, men and women, all heads, all people, it can be said: "The door is full of birds, and the door is like a city." "It was very crowded and lively.

Shui Ruohan looked around, took a full view of the surrounding scene, saw it clearly, kept his feet, took a big stride, followed closely behind the four brothers, all the way to the east, and hurried.

All the way out, the onlookers were also interested, and they avoided it one after another, not much to encircle, even if there were a few ignorant stunned young people standing in the middle of the road, not knowing how to avoid it, they also gently pushed it away with their hands and passed calmly.

After getting out of the crowd of onlookers, the five people did not look back, did not delay any bit of Chenguang, went straight to the east, walked out of Xishan Town, came to the outside of the town, detoured all the way to the southeast, went to Shigong Wharf, entered Taihu Lake, and took a bath.

The middle-aged thin man watched the five people walk out of the crowd and walk eastward, their backs disappeared, only to not come back, and they were frightened, but they were stunned, their eyes widened, their mouths wide open, and they couldn't say a word. When he saw that the five people had gone far away, he really didn't return, so he barely came back to his senses, looked down at the one or two pieces of silver on the iron shell of the stove, was stunned, and after staring carefully for a long time, he eased up, doubting whether the silver coin was real, his right hand stretched out, picked up the ingot of silver from the iron shell, put it in his mouth, opened his mouth and bit it, "popped", almost broke his teeth, and his mouth hurt, and he couldn't help but "ah", called out, and said secretly: It's real silver.
