Chapter 389 Mengxian Market
Finally, under Mu Jingxuan's repeated insistence, the two set out together.
Three days later, they arrived in Mengxian County at dusk.
In order not to attract the attention of those who care about them, they found a relatively remote and deserted forest and slipped into the space.
There was only one inn in the county town. Since there was a space, there was no need to take risks.
The county town was not big, and there should be many people who knew each other.
Suddenly, two outsiders with high looks appeared, and they were still quite eye-catching.
"Wife, take a good rest today, and we will start looking for the boss tomorrow."
After entering the space, Mu Jingxuan suggested.
It was really a long journey these days, and Mu Jingxuan felt distressed because he didn't eat well or sleep well along the way.
"Okay."
Yan Yunxi was indeed tired, so she turned around and soaked in the spiritual spring pool, closing her eyes.
But at this moment, her mind was very clear, and she planned the action plan for the next day in her mind.
According to the information provided by Sun Huijun, he met the boss at a market.
At that time, the boss was collecting protection fees from the stall owners.
But because the fees were too high, the stall owners complained, but the other party was ferocious, and the stall owners dared not say anything.
In this case, maybe I can go to the market tomorrow to try my luck.
After soaking in the spiritual spring water for half an hour, the fatigue of rushing these days has all disappeared.
"Jingxuan, you go take a bath too, I'll cook." After washing up, Yan Yunxi changed into home clothes and appeared in the living room.
Mu Jingxuan nodded, looked at Yan Yunxi, and smiled brightly.
His wife is always so beautiful. Now it seems that she has not changed at all compared to when she lived in Linshan Village.
The next day, the two of them got up early and went out of the space.
Yan Yunxi and Mu Jingxuan pretended to be special.
Now when walking on the street, people think they are brothers, and Yan Yunxi once again used the bionic Adam's apple.
It has to be said that no matter which city, the market in the morning is always very lively.
Whether it is buying vegetables or other things, people want to buy some fresh and cheap vegetables and meat in the morning.
There are also several stalls doing local breakfast business.
The market is not big, with only about twenty stalls.
There are many people visiting the market, but not many people buy things.
Yan Yunxi also discovered a strange phenomenon.
These stall owners are very active in soliciting customers, and they can't wait to leave the stalls and introduce the goods they sell to you on the street.
This kind of enthusiasm is definitely not seen in Beijing.
Nowadays, supply and marketing cooperatives are still being gradually replaced, and the state-owned stores and the condescending attitude of the sales clerks have not completely disappeared in people's minds.
But the scene like Mengxian, where customers are treated like gods, has not appeared in other cities at least.
"Wife, there is a breakfast stall in front, let's go there to eat."
Mu Jingxuan also noticed this situation and pulled Yan Yunxi over.
The stall owner saw two people coming towards him and quickly stood up to greet them, fearing that the two people would miss his delicious food.
"Two brothers, come, come, please sit down." The stall owner warmly invited them to sit down.
Yan Yunxi ordered a serving of Dai-style glutinous rice and a serving of Sapi rice noodles.
I have to say that this breakfast is really hardcore.
The joy of carbohydrates. It took
the two of them about twenty minutes from ordering to finishing the meal.
During this period, apart from Yan Yunxi and Mu Jingxuan, there was only one customer.
After the two finished eating and were about to pay the bill, they found that the stall owner suddenly sat on the bench with dull eyes like a deflated ball.
They were completely different from when they had just been warmly welcomed.
Yan Yunxi frowned slightly. Why did this market give people a very strange feeling?
Yan Yunxi tentatively called out softly, "Boss."
However, the stall owner did not respond.
Hmm,
Yan Yunxi looked at Mu Jingxuan in confusion.
What does this mean?
Mu Jingxuan received instructions from his wife and stood up and walked to the stall owner. He
stretched out his palm and shook it in front of him, "Hey, buddy!"
The stall owner was startled and came back to his senses.
He forced himself to put on a smile on his face immediately, "Little brother, have you finished eating? Do you want to eat something else?"
"Check out." Mu Jingxuan said he had finished eating.
It was early in the morning, and he had such a large portion of glutinous rice and a large bowl of rice noodles. I guess he didn't need to eat at noon.
"Big brother, I see you were a little distracted just now, is something wrong?"
Yan Yunxi stepped forward to ask, looking like an enthusiastic little brother.
"Oh!"
The stall owner sighed, not prepared to hide it.
After all, it is already an open secret in this area, there is nothing to hide.
Talking to others can at least help relieve the depression in your heart, which is better than keeping it alone.
"Isn't it time to pay the protection fee again?" This week has not been paid yet.
Hearing this, Yan Yunxi's eyes lit up.
Isn't this a coincidence? They are worried that they can't find this group of people.
"Do they come here often? How much do they charge?"
Seeing that Yan Yunxi was very interested, the stall owner was a little wary and turned his head to stare at her.
"Well, I'm just curious and asking." Yan Yunxi touched her nose awkwardly, portraying the image of a vagrant to the fullest.
"Little brother, you are not locals, right?" Locals would not ask such questions.
Yan Yunxi shook her head, "No, we two brothers are here to travel and enjoy the scenery."
The stall owner had no doubts about this. Looking at the clothes of these two people, he knew that they must be rich people.
It is normal to travel and take a look.
Well, they are outsiders anyway, so there will be no danger.
Then satisfy their curiosity.
"This gang of unscrupulous people, they eat people without spitting out bones!"
Letting down his guard, the stall owner told them about the gang that collected protection fees here with great indignation.
They come once a week and charge fifty yuan each time.
This month, it will be two hundred yuan.
They are just doing a small business, and they may not be able to earn two hundred yuan every month. They
are all working for this gang that collects protection fees.
There are stubborn people who are unwilling to pay.
If you don't pay, then they will make trouble every day, and they will come up with all kinds of reasons to prevent you from selling your products properly.
But you have to do it.
The whole family is waiting for meals, and you can't completely cut off the source of income.
It happens that today is the day to collect protection fees.
The stall owner is worried!
He doesn't know when the damn gang will arrive.
But he only has 43 yuan on him now, plus the meal money of these two little brothers.
If he can't pay enough, he will be severely beaten, and he must collect the remaining money to give them by the next morning at the latest.
Otherwise, he will have a bad week.
Mu Jingxuan frowned, "They are so brazen, why don't you unite and sue them?"
"Sue"
The stall owner suddenly looked at Mu Jingxuan as if he were a fool, and then shook his head.
Forget it, seeing that this little brother is so young, he must not understand the rules of this society.
"Is there another reason?" Yan Yunxi took the opportunity to ask.
"Heh..."
Forget it, he was just complaining, "It's not good for you to know too much."
