She felt quite curious and walked inside. The people inside were very cautious when doing business, fearing that the patrol team would come. When she first entered, the people around her were alert, as if they were worried that she was a patrol team.
"What are you doing?" At this moment, two men came up and stopped Zhang Xingrong.
Zhang Xingrong thought for a moment and smiled, "Brothers, this is the jelly I made, try it!"
As she spoke, she opened the basket, took out a banana leaf, cut two portions of jelly and handed them over.
When the two men saw the jelly, they couldn't help swallowing their saliva. The jelly was so tempting in such a hot day!
"The little girl is quite knowledgeable about the rules, but this is not enough. Either give us ten dollars as protection money, or give us half of the jelly!"
Zhang Xingrong was a little confused. What the hell, if I give you half, what’s the point of me selling it?
Give me ten yuan? Her jelly is less than five yuan!
You have to know that nowadays you buy things at every penny.
"Brother, I don't have any money..." Zhang Xingrong said, tears streaming down her face. "If I had money, I wouldn't be selling this. We're out of food at home, and we only have some stinking broom on the mountain. I made some to sell. Brother, please be more flexible..."
"How can we live if we compromise with you?" The two men looked her up and down. Seeing that her skin was dark and yellow, with a large scar at the corner of her eye, she looked very ugly, and they were full of disgust.
"Brother, we really have no food at home, wuwuwu..."
"Hey, hey, hey, stop crying in front of me. Either give me money or give me some jelly. Otherwise, I'll arrest you, send you to the police station, and report you!"
"That's right, why are you crying? You're so ugly! I'm telling you, my name is Hei Er. Our big brother is over there, and we're the ones collecting protection money here. Either you give me money, or you give me food, or we'll report you!"
The auntie who was selling things at her doorstep said, "Hey girl, just give it to him. If we get reported, it will be a disaster. It will be difficult for us to do business here in the future!"
Some people around also nodded, obviously not wanting to offend these people.
Zhang Xingrong thought about it and decided to hold back. If it were before her rebirth, she would have definitely taken action. She used to prefer using her hands to using her brain. But after her rebirth, there was no need to be a fool.
Even if she wanted to make a scene, she couldn't do it here. She had to wait until she got outside. If she did, the street might really be affected, and some people's livelihoods would be cut off. She knew that these days, some people came here because they had nowhere else to go.
She gave half of the ice powder to the two of them. As soon as she sent them away, an old lady came over.
"Girl, how much do you sell this ice jelly for?"
When business came, Zhang Xingrong immediately went up and said with a smile: "What do you have? Besides money, I also accept other things, gold and silver are fine!"
The old lady was immediately delighted: "Great! Can I exchange this gold bracelet for some jelly?"
Zhang Xingrong felt quite distressed when she saw it.
The old man was extremely thin, skinny as a stick, with a yellow complexion and a sunken face. He looked extremely pitiful.
"Girl, do you suspect it's fake?" the old man said anxiously. "This is my dowry. We really had nothing to eat, so I sold some of the things I had. This is real. If you don't believe me, bite it and you'll find a mark. I'll break it and show you that it won't break. It's real gold!"
As she spoke, the old lady bit and broke it.
Zhang Xingrong held her down and said, "I know how to identify it, and I trust you. I'll give you most of this jelly!"
