Chapter 251: Blood Boiling (Part 2)
“Fresh and unique bread, sweet and soft, free to try.”
Jiang Zhiluo had cut a lot of small pieces of bread in advance and placed them on a plate, with a toothpick on each one to make it easier for everyone to taste them.
Before, Jiang Zhiluo spent most of her time selling bread near residential areas.
But perhaps there have been rumors of war recently, so people have stored more food and bought less things.
Jiang Zhiluo thought about selling bread at the dock.
There are many merchants coming and going at the dock. They have some background and can still sail at this time, so naturally they don’t care whether there is a war outside.
Everyone will buy things when they need to.
And the pier is still very lively.
Because of Jiang Zhiluo's shouting, people soon gathered around.
“Is it really possible to taste it for free?”
"Yes, you can taste it for free. If you like it, you can buy it. If not, don't buy it."
Some people took a taste, thought it was good, and asked about the price.
Jiang Zhiluo told everyone the price of each item.
"Give me two."
"good."
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and collected the money while packing for everyone.
Cui Qingci reacted and hurried to help, "Let me wrap it!"
She learned how to wrap bread with wax paper at home.
After wrapping, hand it to the customer.
With Cui Qingci's help, things went a little faster.
Someone also recognized Jiang Zhiluo and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang is out setting up a stall."
"Yes, auntie, I haven't seen you for many days."
"That's right, but why don't I see you making chili meat sauce?"
"Auntie, if you want to buy some chili meat sauce, I'll make some and come over to sell it in a few days."
The woman smiled and said, "That's fine. Chili meat sauce is easy to store. We're thinking of buying a few more bottles to take with us on the boat and eat with our dry food on the way."
"But it would be great if you still sold brown sugar. We drink the brown sugar you make and it feels good. It warms our bodies. The other brown sugars we buy are different from the ones you sell."
Jiang Zhiluo was stunned. That was when she had just married Cui Hejin, and she was making and selling brown sugar at that time.
However, making brown sugar is too troublesome. It takes a long time to make brown sugar, and the profit is not much.
So she later started another business.
Jiang Zhiluo felt very familiar when she heard it. "So, you bought something from me a long time ago, auntie."
"Well, the chive dumplings you made are delicious too."
As they were talking, Jiang Zhiluo collected the money and Cui Qingci helped pack the things.
"This is your sister. She looks so beautiful."
Jiang Zhiluo said, "She's my sister-in-law."
The woman smiled and said, "Your whole family is good-looking."
It was the first time that Cui Qingci was praised so directly, but she could tell that the person was praising her sincerely.
Her face turned red and she felt a little embarrassed, but she was very happy in her heart.
After handing the item to the woman, Jiang Zhiluo seemed to have thought of something and said, "Auntie, I remember your fishing boat is fishing nearby. Why do you have to go so far?"
The woman said, "A wealthy family wanted our boat to carry goods and people to the south. They offered us a lot of silver, so we agreed. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been willing to buy so much."
The woman bought four loaves of bread. In the past, she would never have been willing to buy these foods.
Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed when she heard this. "Your ship isn't that big, how come it was requisitioned? There are still many merchant ships over there."
The woman said, "Young lady, you don't know, those big merchant ships have a lot of cargo to transport. Now I heard that the shipping is tight, and many families in our Beizhou have to take the ship to the south."
"We heard that the rivers in the south are well developed and the area is prosperous. We thought that if that's good, we could make a living fishing there."
Hearing these words, Jiang Zhiluo looked solemn. It seemed that many wealthy families had channels to learn the news.
These people are planning to flee to the south.
Jiang Zhiluo continued to sell bread with a heavy heart.
Just as Jiang Zhiluo was thinking about these things, a gangster took a piece of bread and tasted it, then took another piece, and even reached out to grab the bread in the grate.
Jiang Zhiluo's hands moved even faster, and a burst of energy shot out.
"ah!"
The gangster fell to the ground with pain in his hand.
He looked up and said, "Didn't you say I could taste it for free? I tasted it for free, but you're bullying me. My hand hurts, it must be you who did it."
This guy looks like a scoundrel.
Jiang Zhiluo folded her arms and said coldly, "Oh? Then what do you say we should do?"
"Of course you have to compensate me. Give me all the bread you have, and let's just leave it at that. Otherwise, forget about doing business here."
Jiang Zhiluo looked at the man, murderous intent welling up in her eyes.
This guy doesn't look like a gangster, and his dodging movements just now were like those of a martial artist.
Are they bandits or are they deliberately causing trouble?
When some people saw this scene, their faces changed.
An older woman who knew Jiang Zhiluo whispered, "Young lady, please give him the things quickly. Things have been a bit turbulent at the dock lately, and there are a lot of people causing trouble."
"Exactly, I don't know where these people came from. There's never been anything like this before."
"Ah, it's the war outside that's affecting our Northern Province."
Cui Qingci quickly pulled Jiang Zhiluo behind her. She took out a long knife and said, "If you want to bully others, you have to ask me, this knife, if I agree or not!"
Cui Qingci stepped on the stone next to her with one foot, holding a knife in one hand, with a sharp look in her eyes.
Jiang Zhiluo was originally angry, but when she saw Cui Qingci defending her, she was stunned for a moment.
She remembered that Old Madam Cui had said before that Cui Qingci had learned some skills of wielding swords and guns from the Cui family since she was a child.
It's just that outsiders don't know.
So Cui Qingci also knows some kung fu.
Yes, such a beautiful woman could only come all the way from the South State to the North State because she knows Kung Fu.
I have to say, Jiang Zhiluo's eyes lit up when she saw Cui Qingci like this.
The gangster seemed to not take them seriously at all. He blew a whistle and three or four people came immediately.
"Smash this stall for me!"
The three or four men were holding hammers and were about to smash the stall.
Jiang Zhiluo picked up the wooden stick from the ox cart and jumped up. The stick in her hand was like a sword, like an afterimage, and moved at an extremely fast speed.
She actually had murderous intentions at this moment, but she couldn't kill anyone in public.
But just as they started, Jiang Zhiluo discovered that these people were martial artists and not ordinary thugs at all.
She couldn't help but think of what Cui Hejin had said to her before.
This means that there are soldiers on the surface to quell the rebellion, but there are also some people secretly who will steal food and medicine.
Thinking of Wei Xingye being robbed while transporting medicinal herbs, her expression became more solemn.
Could it be that all these things were ordered by the current emperor?
Soon, Jiang Zhiluo knocked those people down.
Cui Qingci had just cooperated very well with Jiang Zhiluo. At this moment, her blood was boiling and she looked at Jiang Zhiluo with admiration in her eyes.
This is a heroine!
She thought she was good at wielding swords and guns, but at this moment she realized that her skills were not good enough and her sister-in-law was still more powerful.
In full view of the crowd, Jiang Zhiluo held back in her moves, making it look as if she had to struggle to knock the man down.
If possible, Jiang Zhiluo could take care of these people in one move.
