Seeing that Manager Zhang was already choking and his eyes were rolling back, Jiang Yuwei found a thick wooden stick and violently struck Manager Zhang's lungs.
The waiters nearby forgot to mourn at the sight, but the hard-of-hearing one was the first to react, pointing at Jiang Yuwei and cursing:
"You, you, you actually dared to commit violence in the street! You're trying to kill Manager Zhang!"
Jiang Yuwei gave him a cold look and said in a deep voice:
“It was you who committed the crime in the street, not me. I was just trying to save his life. Didn’t you see he was choking and his eyes were rolling back? I was just helping him vomit. Did you really want to just watch him die?”
As Jiang Yuwei spoke, she increased the pressure on her hands. She naturally knew what the best first aid method was when someone was choking, but this Manager Zhang was not worthy of Jiang Yuwei's serious rescue. She only needed to save his life and prevent him from dying on the street. As for how to get Manager Zhang to spit out the mud balls in his mouth, she didn't care.
Manager Zhang's ankle was twisted on the ground, his stomach was thumping from Jiang Yuwei's impact, and he had a mud ball stuck in his throat. He was in a state of utter misery.
Manager Zhang was probably in too much pain from being poked by Jiang Yuwei with the stick, so he started trying desperately to swallow the mud ball. The mud ball had been stuck in his throat for so long that it had started to dissolve. Unexpectedly, after several attempts, Manager Zhang actually managed to swallow the mud ball with a "clunk".
Seeing that Manager Zhang was swallowing, Jiang Yuwei stopped rolling her eyes. Before he could react, she struck him twice more hard with the stick. Just as Manager Zhang was about to speak, Jiang Yuwei stopped what she was doing, threw the stick away, and spoke:
"Alright, today I've repaid evil with kindness and saved your dog's life. I hope you'll remember this and think twice before you act. Think about how I saved you from the brink of death today!"
Having just recovered, Manager Zhang was so angered by Jiang Yuwei's words that he pointed at her and shouted:
"You, you, you..."
Jiang Yuwei patted the dust off her hands and said calmly:
"Great kindness needs no thanks, and you don't need to be so emotional. I don't want your gratitude. I just hope you can repent and be a good person in the future!"
"Yes, Manager Zhang was lucky to have met some kind people. We all saw it; he practically snatched a life from the jaws of death!"
"Yes, yes, Manager Zhang, you smashed their stall, and they still kindly saved you. You should remember this kindness for the rest of your life."
"Exactly! If Xia Du were scared to death, he definitely wouldn't be able to save him!"
"This stall owner is kind-hearted and beautiful. Everyone should support her business in the future."
"Yes, yes, give me a bowl of spicy hot pot."
"I want a bowl too."
Jiang Yaoyao, who was standing to the side, originally planned to bring Master Ge to show off in front of Jiang Yuwei, so that she could see the good life she was living now, and she also hoped to ruin Jiang Yuwei's stall business. However, she never expected that this commotion would make Jiang Yuwei's business even more prosperous.
Jiang Yaoyao grew angrier the more she thought about it, and had no choice but to fling her sleeves and get into the carriage. Seeing Jiang Yaoyao leave, Master Ge also wanted to get into the carriage, but then he heard Jiang Yuwei call out:
"Mr. Ge, you haven't said yet, do you want to pay compensation or take a beating?"
Passersby all turned their attention to Mr. Ge, and someone whispered something:
"Master Ge is so rich, why would he still swindle money from ordinary people?"
"That's right, that's right, they saved Manager Zhang's life."
"Such a big boss is so stingy..."
When Master Ge saw everyone starting to chatter amongst themselves, he felt that Steward Zhang had completely humiliated him. So he took out a tael of silver from his purse and threw it directly at Jiang Yuwei.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuwei reacted quickly, reaching out to take it and smiling as she said to Master Ge:
"Master Ge is so generous! May you be a groom every night and have babies every day!"
Master Ge's face paled even more from Jiang Yuwei's anger, and he pointed at Steward Zhang, who was still slumped on the ground, and cursed:
"Get back to your residence right now, and stop embarrassing yourself here! This tael of silver will be deducted from your monthly allowance!"
When Manager Zhang heard that his pay was going to be deducted, his face turned red, then white, then red again. Finally, he could only glare fiercely at Jiang Yuwei and grit his teeth as he said:
We'll see.
After saying that, he was helped away by two employees.
Jiang Yuwei smiled and looked at the crowd of onlookers, saying:
"Thank you all for coming today. It's just that all the side dishes for this mala tang have been wasted, so I can't sell them to you anymore. Next time there's a market day, you can come find me here, and I'll definitely prepare more dishes for you to try."
When everyone realized that the mala tang could no longer be made, they dispersed in great disappointment.
Jiang Yuwei and Liu picked up the vegetables and meat that had been scattered on the ground. They could take the vegetables back to feed the chickens, ducks and geese, and the meat would be good for Xiao Jiu. It had done a good job guarding the pond these past few days, so they should take this opportunity to reward it.
After Jiang Yuwei finished cleaning up, the gray tofu, pounded pepper preserved egg, and crayfish she brought were all sold out. Although she only sold a dozen or so bowls of spicy hot pot, the customers gave it very good reviews. They all said they would bring their families to eat here again next time. Jiang Yuwei was planning to bring more tables and chairs next time. If her own oxcart couldn't carry them all, she would ask Uncle Ning Wu to help her carry some.
As for the Centella asiatica and sugarcane juice, Ning Qiu sold it all by pairing it with spicy crayfish. Jiang Yuwei sold out everything she brought in just one morning. She thought it would be wonderful if she could sell food like this every day, but unfortunately, the market was only held once every seven days.
If he wanted to sell food every day, he would have to open a snack shop with his own money. Unfortunately, not only was he short of manpower, but he also didn't have enough money to support a snack shop with a wide variety of products. After all, he needed to save money to treat Ning Huaizhi's leg injury first.
Jiang Yuwei shook her head helplessly and instructed everyone to get on the oxcart. Ning Zhao was on leave today, so she needed to pick up Ning Zhao and Ning Chen first and then go to the market to do some shopping. They were out of gold powder for making joss paper, so they also needed to go to the jewelry store to buy some.
Thinking this, Jiang Yuwei said to Ning Huaizhi:
"Let's go to Jingli Academy to pick up Ning Zhao and Ning Chen first."
Ning Huaizhi nodded and drove the oxcart toward the academy. As soon as the group arrived at North Street, Jiang Yuwei saw a shop with a "For Sale" notice posted on the door. She immediately had an idea and told Ning Huaizhi to stop the oxcart.
As soon as Jiang Yuwei got out of the car, she hurriedly walked into the shop. She was only interested in knowing how much silver it would cost to buy the shop. She didn't notice that Granny Sun, who was standing at the street corner to pick up Young Master Ge, saw her and followed her into the shop furtively.
