Chapter 59
Are you here to buy pot stickers for their young lady and young master?
There were more than one or two such people, there were more than a dozen people who came in carriages. This made Su Guoer realize the business opportunity.
Maybe she could actually sell these pot stickers separately?
Just add her special dumpling vinegar and dip the pot stickers in it to better bring out the aroma of the mutton.
A better packaging.
It’s not impossible to mention the price while you’re at it?
Su Guoer suddenly came to her senses. She wasn't trying to make much money, but if there really was a wealthy family willing to eat her pot stickers, wouldn't she be able to open up a sales channel?
Su Guoer was a quick person. She immediately went to the kitchen to prepare the sauce, packed it up, took it outside, and gave it away randomly to diners who came to buy pot stickers.
By the time the market closed, all 2,000 kilograms of braised pork and pot stickers were sold out.
After Madam Cui and the others said goodbye, Su Guoer asked Pang Ya to bring the money box to her bedroom and prepare to count the silver by light of a lamp.
Fatty followed closely, and finally lay on the edge of the bed to watch Su Guoer count the money.
She seemed very happy.
Fatty tilted her head and thought.
String the copper coins together one by one with an oil rope, and a thousand coins together equal one tael of silver.
It's hard work.
Su Guoer felt that her eyes were sore after stringing for a while, and she couldn't help rubbing her eyes. She wanted to call Pang Ya to come and work with her.
But before she could finish her words, she heard a loud "bang"... the earthen kang that had been intact just now was collapsed by her.
Fatty dodged very quickly and got to her side the moment the bed collapsed, but unfortunately her bed turned into a pile of powder in an instant.
Su Guoer was stunned at first when she saw the mess, but when she came to her senses, she immediately stepped forward to rescue her bedding.
However, when she rushed over, she was too hasty and stepped on something. She cried out "ouch" and sat down in the pile of dirt.
I ate a mouthful of dirt.
Poor thing, her bedding was also ruined by the loose dust.
Seeing this, Pang Ya hurried forward to pull Su Guoer out, then patted the bedding and placed it on the table where the silver was being counted.
While Su Guoer frowned, she did not forget to order: "There is something in there, go and take a look." Before she finished speaking, Pang Ya's curiosity was aroused and she lay directly on the ground and pulled out a wooden box.
For some reason, Su Guoer's eyebrows jumped violently.
Who would put a wooden box in a kang without any heating?
Could it be something dirty?
Or the ashes of someone who died of illness?
Human bones?
A Guanyin statue with a white face and red eyes?
Su Guoer broke out in a cold sweat. Countless possibilities flashed through her mind in an instant, making her dare not touch the wooden box.
"You, put it on the ground first," Su Guoer stammered. She was still hesitating whether to open it or not. She might go to Fang Yazi tomorrow to ask about the situation and then decide whether to open it or not.
But Pang Ya had already quickly pulled open the palm-sized copper lock.
Su Guoer said something out of turn again. Fatty's strength is really extraordinary.
Well, now that it's open, why not take a look? As she squatted down and was about to open the box, she heard footsteps outside.
"This thing is right here. I hid it so well that no one would guess that I would hide the banknote here."
It was a man's voice, and judging by the noise, he was coming from inside the yard.
The frightened Pang Ya covered Su Guoer's mouth with one hand and pulled her into the ruins of the kang.
The leading man in black standing outside frowned and glanced at the east wing calmly.
Qi Zhang on the other side was still saying, "Sir, let's make a deal first. These banknotes and account books belong to you, but you must also find someone to rescue my father. He's an old man staying in the prison of the Imperial City Division every day. Who knows how hard it must be!"
"Pei Yan is a ruthless guy. My father has suffered a lot for doing things for you this time."
The masked man behind the leader said: "Alright, the master will definitely do what he promised. Go quickly, don't dither, and take out the banknotes and account books!"
Qi Zhang: "Hey!" Just as he was about to get it, he was stopped by the leading man in black.
He raised his hand slightly and said only one sentence: "Someone" His subordinates immediately understood what he meant.
The two men broke in through the window and pulled Su Guoer and Pang Ya out. Pang Ya tried to resist, but was knocked unconscious by the man in black.
Su Guoer was trembling with fear and didn't dare to speak.
She just felt that today was not a good day.
She didn't know what was in the wooden box before, but now she knows, based on the gossip she heard during the day.
Then she looked at Qi Zhang who was standing right in front of her.
What else is unclear?
The wooden box probably contains silver bills and account books.
Another man in black came out of the room, holding a wooden box in his hand.
"The box has been opened," the man in black said to the leader.
Then Su Guoer saw a pair of cold eyes shooting towards her, staring straight at her.
Seeing that Su Guoer was frightened, the man seemed to hesitate for a moment, but only for a moment. The next second, Su Guoer heard a deep voice: "Kill him!"
These words frightened Su Guoer so much that she trembled all over and fell to the ground, half lying on the unconscious Fatty.
The man in black beside her had already drawn his sword. Su Guoer saw the cold light of the sword in the dark night, which made her feel panic and despair.
"Hey, wait!"
The man in black looked at Qi Zhang and asked him for an explanation.
Qi Zhang rolled his eyes and immediately came up with a good idea: "This young lady is pretty. Why don't I let her play with me and throw her into the Bian River tomorrow? That way, I won't dirty your hands, sir?"
The leader ignored what Qi Zhang said and signaled his men to continue.
Qi Zhang hurriedly dragged his sluggish leg forward and said, "To be honest, I've had my eye on this young lady for a long time, but I've never had the chance to taste her. My Lord, please be kind and give her to me. I promise, I swear! I won't let her see the sun tomorrow morning! I mean what I say."
Qi Zhang said with a solemn oath.
The leading man in black was silent for a while. He naturally knew what kind of personality Qi Zhang was. He was just a guy whose brain had fallen into a den of whoredom. He was doing stupid things again.
But it's not good to offend him too much. He has something to do later, so why not just do as he says?
He said, "It's up to you, but you have to promise me that she won't see the sun tomorrow!"
Qi Zhang was extremely delighted and nodded repeatedly: "Hey! Hey! Okay, I'll do what I say! I'll definitely do what I say!"
As he said that, he asked his men to cover Su Guoer's mouth and take her away.
Su Guoer was tied up the whole time and couldn't escape. After whimpering twice, she could only shed two tears and watched the man in black raise his sword again.
The tip of the sword pointed directly at Pang Ya's chest.
