Several horse-drawn carriages drove slowly up the street, and the aroma of rice wafted from far away to everyone's nose.
The crowd who were squatting on the ground with their hands in their sleeves suddenly looked up.
"Food! Someone is here to sell food!!"
The crowd immediately cheered.
When the carriages drove in, everyone could see that there were a dozen or so servant-like men following the carriages.
The leading servant shouted, "A set of quilts costs 10 taels, a serving of fried rice costs 1 tael, and well water is given for free! Quantities are limited, first come first served!"
The crowd was originally happy that someone was providing the service, but when they heard the price they immediately started cursing.
"You're taking advantage of someone's misfortune, eh? You shameless bastard, get out of here now!"
"Make it cheaper. I'll give you five taels. I want both the quilt and the food, okay?"
"Have some backbone? This is obviously a rip-off! If we don't buy it, she will make this trip for nothing."
Many of those present were wealthy businessmen.
Upon seeing this, I immediately understood that some bastards didn't want to make money from stocks, but wanted to make a profit from the shareholders!
But just cut it!
Damn it, we are going to invest heavily in the Dajing Railway tomorrow, but we are still short of eleven or twelve taels of silver!
When the carriage passed by, someone immediately stretched out his hand with a banknote between his fingers: "Give me a quilt and two meals!"
"Hey!" The servant happily took a quilt from the carriage and handed it over, along with two lotus leaf buns filled with fried rice, "Brother Qiang, this is for you."
The person who got the quilt first happily put it on, opened the lotus leaf bag and took a bite of the hot fried rice. He glanced at the people around him and said proudly, "It smells so good, so damn good!"
Just eat it if you want. It’s just a piece of crappy fried rice. Are you trying to show off to your mother?
The people around were drooling.
"Give me one too!"
As soon as someone took action first, the people behind him immediately lost their unity and started rushing to buy the quilts.
In a short while, all the goods on the carriage were snatched away.
Most people were wrapped in quilts, bulging out, and eating fried rice against the wall.
Those who didn’t get the item just looked at each other helplessly.
While everyone was eating, a group of people holding torches came running madly down the street.
Without waiting for the investors in line to react, the leading clerk stood in front of everyone and said coldly, "We've received a report that someone is gathering in front of the stock exchange and trying to cause trouble!"
"The military headquarters has issued an order for you to return home immediately. Otherwise, you will be thrown into prison immediately and released the next day!"
The people in the queue were collectively dumbfounded and at a loss.
The merchant closest to him suddenly burst into tears and spat out the fried rice in his mouth.
"Oh my God! You are going to kill me!!!"
