Chapter 8 The Scoundrels Pick a Fight



After making up her mind, Shen Yu took out a half-new, unremarkable black taxi from her spatial storage and sped towards Luohu Railway Station.

Previously, Shen Yu was worried that she would travel to the apocalypse or other eras, so she also stored various types of cars in the farm warehouse.

There are also bicycles, electric bikes, motorcycles, and so on...

It's nearly 30 kilometers from Nanshanwan Village to Luohu Railway Station.

The roads nowadays are not as easy to travel as they are in later years. Many are still dirt roads, and some are full of potholes. Even Shenzhen's most famous Shennan Avenue has not yet been repaired.

If she were to ride her bicycle there, it would take her at least an hour, which would be a huge waste of time.

Since she has the means, she should naturally choose the best way to travel.

She even put on a replica license plate from that era for her car.

In her previous life, she had put in a lot of effort to prepare for her time travel.

Just in case, she prepared everything she could think of, including all kinds of hardware and software.

Looking back now, Shen Yu is very grateful for her intelligence and foresight, which prevented her from being at a loss after her rebirth.

The roads are quite difficult to navigate now, but there are hardly any traffic lights and very few vehicles.

Shen Yu drove quite fast, and half an hour later, she arrived at a necessary intersection between Luohu Railway Station and Bus Station.

She parked the taxi on the side of the road, the spacious trunk facing the street, which could be used as a temporary stall.

Then, under the cover of the back seat, Shen Yu took out five beverage barrels that were already filled with orange juice, soy milk, soda, cola, and milk tea from the farm warehouse.

The beverage containers are made of transparent material, and the white soy milk, light yellow soda, bright orange juice, brown cola, and milk tea are displayed in a row, making them very eye-catching.

There's also a box of edible ice next to it, for guests to see if they want more ice.

In this hot weather, whether you've just stepped out of the train station or the bus station, the sight of these iced sodas and cola will tempt you to have a drink—it's both thirst-quenching and refreshing.

Behind this row of drinks, Shen Yu placed another shelf, displaying large transparent food boxes filled with meat buns, chive boxes, steamed buns, and toast.

Currently, Arctic Ocean soda sells for 15 cents a bottle, and Coca-Cola sells for 45 cents a bottle.

Shen Yu quickly set the price.

Soy milk and soda, two cents a cup.

Orange juice, milk tea, and cola cost 50 cents a cup.

A steamed bun costs one mao (0.1 yuan).

Meat buns, chive boxes, and toast, all for two cents each.

These drinks and foods are all made from farm-produced raw materials, and their taste and quality are top-notch.

The price that Shen Yu bid is absolutely worth the money.

She had just finished setting up her things and hadn't even had time to put up the parasol when a customer came up and asked, "Excuse me, sir/madam! How much is a cup of Coke?"

Shen Yu looked at the middle-aged man in the Zhongshan suit in front of her and replied with a smile, "Hello! Soy milk and soda are two mao a cup; orange juice, milk tea, and cola are all five mao a cup. Which would you like?"

The middle-aged man smiled and replied, "Give me a Coke."

He then turned to the two young men behind him and asked, "Xiao Zhao, Xiao Cui, what would you two like to drink?"

Xiao Zhao quickly replied, "Boss, I can just have soda."

Xiao Cui chimed in, "Boss, I also want a soda, I'll pay for it."

They both hurriedly pulled money out of their pockets, afraid that their boss would have to pay for their drinks.

Shen Yu smiled and asked the middle-aged man, "Comrade, would you like your Coke with ice?"

The middle-aged man nodded. "Add ice."

Shen Yu filled a glass of cola, quickly added ice, put the lid on, inserted a straw, and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man took the Coke and handed 50 cents to Shen Yu.

After Shen Yu received the money, he took a sip of cola and immediately felt refreshed, and the heat in his body subsided instantly.

Shen Yu poured soda for the two young people, added ice as they requested, and then charged them.

The two young people took a sip of the iced soda and felt refreshed.

After taking a few more sips, they were surprised to find that this cola and soda tasted better than those available on the market.

The middle-aged man also noticed this, let out a soft "hmm," and then asked Shen Yu, "Comrade, which beverage factory produced this cola?"

Shen Yu replied with a smile, "The drinks and food I sell here are all produced by my own family, and the taste and quality are excellent."

"This is my first time setting up a stall here today, and you're my first customer. I'll give you a big meat bun as a freebie; would you like to try it and see how it tastes?"

After Shen Yu finished speaking, she used tongs to take out a large meat bun, put it in a paper bag, and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man laughed heartily, "Good, good, good! I didn't expect to be so lucky today, to get a free big meat bun from the boss. I'll try it out. Comrade, if this big meat bun doesn't taste good, I'll have to criticize you."

Shen Yu said very confidently, "Please feel free to try it."

The middle-aged man took out a large meat bun, took a bite, and tasted the slightly sweet bun skin combined with the savory flavor of the meat filling, which also released a little bit of broth.

The taste of this big meat bun is absolutely amazing!

Before the middle-aged man could say anything, he finished the large meat bun in a few bites.

He said directly to Shen Yu, "Comrade, your big meat buns are delicious. Give me ten more big meat buns."

Shen Yu smiled and replied, "Okay!"

She quickly took out a large paper bag, filled it with ten large meat buns, and then took the money he gave her.

The middle-aged man smiled and said to Shen Yu, "Comrade, I hope we'll meet again someday!"

Shen Yu smiled and replied, "Okay, until we meet again! Comrade, take care!"

The middle-aged man waved to her and then quickly walked away with his two men.

After the middle-aged man and his group opened their shop, more and more people came to buy drinks or steamed buns and other food.

Shen Yu was so busy that she couldn't stop.

Her business was so successful that it quickly attracted the attention of many shopkeepers and thugs in the surrounding area.

In those days, there were usually gangs operating at train and bus stations.

When it was midday and there were fewer customers, the thugs who had been watching all day finally gathered around.

They each held an iron rod in their hands, their expressions were extremely arrogant, and they walked with a domineering and tyrannical manner.

They walked up to Shen Yu's stall. The leader of the thugs tapped Shen Yu's car with an iron bar and asked arrogantly, "Hey, pretty girl, have you paid for your stall here?"

Shen Yu pretended not to understand and asked innocently, "What money do I need to pay to set up a stall at this intersection?"
