Just then, another person came over and said, "Boss, give me two baskets of steamed buns."
"Okay!" Lin Tiandong quickly took the steamed buns over.
The man took the steamed bun, and seeing it was Lin Tiandong, asked in surprise, "Where's Lao Tian? Why isn't he making any?"
Lin Cuiying explained with a smile, "Old Tian went to the prefectural city, so my brother and I will take over this stall."
"Oh, I see." The man nodded. "The steamed buns you make taste just as good as the ones Lao Tian makes."
Hearing this, Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong both breathed a sigh of relief.
They know they still have a lot to improve, but they are already very satisfied with the customers' approval.
Soon, the steamed buns were almost sold out.
Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong quickly started wrapping up the next basket.
They worked together seamlessly; one kneaded the dough and rolled out the wrappers, while the other prepared the filling and wrapped the buns.
Soon, the next batch of steamed buns was ready.
As the sun rose higher, more and more pedestrians appeared on the street.
Long queues also formed in front of Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong's stalls.
Looking at the scene before them, Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong were filled with enthusiasm.
Around noon, the steamed buns were finally sold out.
Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong both breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
They knew this was only the first day, and there was still a long road ahead.
However, they are already very satisfied to see that their efforts have paid off.
Lin Changgeng was also very happy, and he helped Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong tidy up their stall.
"Yingzi, Tiandong, you two are really capable!" Lin Changgeng praised. "I believe you will definitely make the business better and better."
"Thank you, Dad," Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong said gratefully.
Just as they were packing up their stall, three people suddenly walked over.
These three people look like thugs; they're obviously not good people.
"Wow, business is good!" one of them said.
Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong looked at them warily. "Who are you? What do you want?"
“We’re in charge of this street,” the man continued. “Seeing how good your business is, shouldn’t you pay some protection money?”
Upon hearing this, both Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong frowned.
They knew these people were thugs trying to extort money from them.
"Why should we pay protection money?" Lin Tiandong said indignantly.
"Why should I?" the man sneered. "Because we can let you do business on this street in peace! If you don't pay protection money, don't blame us for being impolite!"
As he spoke, the three men surrounded him, looking like they had ill intentions.
Lin Changgeng quickly stepped forward, "Gentlemen, we're just running a small business and don't make much money. Could you please be lenient and not charge us protection money?"
"Make an exception?" The man glared at Lin Changgeng. "I don't know anything about making exceptions! If you don't pay protection money today, don't even think about leaving this street!"
Upon seeing this, Lin Cuiying felt a surge of anger.
She knew that these people were bullies who preyed on the weak and feared the strong; the weaker she was, the more arrogant they became.
So Lin Cuiying walked directly up to the leader and said coldly, "What do you want to do? Trying to rob us in broad daylight?"
The man was taken aback by Lin Cuiying's unexpected toughness.
However, he quickly realized what was happening and glared at Lin Cuiying, saying, "You woman, don't push your luck! If you don't pay protection money today, don't blame us for being impolite!"
Lin Cuiying was not to be outdone and continued, "I want to see how impolite you can be! We are doing legitimate business, why should we be extorted by you?"
Enraged by Lin Cuiying's words, the man raised his fist and slammed it at her.
Lin Cuiying reacted quickly, grabbing his wrist and twisting it forcefully.
With a "crack," Lin Cuiying twisted the man's wrist and broke it.
He let out a scream and collapsed to the ground.
The other two were taken aback by what they saw.
They never expected Lin Cuiying to be so powerful, daring to hurt people.
Lin Cuiying looked at them coldly, "If you dare to lay a hand on me again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The two men were intimidated by Lin Cuiying's imposing presence. They looked at each other, neither daring to make a move.
Lin Cuiying continued, "We're doing legitimate business and don't want any trouble. But if you dare to try and extort us again, don't blame us for being impolite!"
Seeing this, the two men had no choice but to help the injured person and slink away.
Lin Changgeng and Lin Tiandong both breathed a sigh of relief. They knew Lin Cuiying was strong, but they didn't expect her to be able to break a person's hand so easily.
"Sis, is that person's hand really ruined?"
Lin Cuiying shook her head. "It shouldn't be. I used a clever technique and only dislocated his hand."
Hearing this, Lin Tiandong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although these people deserve to die, they will also get into trouble if they cause any trouble.
Lin Cuiying comforted him, "Tiandong, don't worry. As long as we do nothing wrong, we have nothing to fear from these petty scoundrels."
"Sister, I understand."
Lin Changgeng watched those people leave, still feeling somewhat worried.
"Yingzi, Tiandong, these people suffered a loss today, and they will definitely come back for revenge. Be careful and don't fall into their trap."
Lin Cuiying knew very well that these people would not let this go. "Father, don't worry. We will be careful."
Lin Changgeng gave them a few more instructions before helping them pack up their stall.
After packing their things, the family went home.
Back home, Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong recounted the day's events to Chen.
After hearing this, Chen was a little worried. "Yingzi, Tiandong, these people are all thugs. What will you do in the future if you offend them?"
Lin Cuiying comforted her, "Mother, don't worry. As long as we do nothing wrong, we don't need to be afraid of them."
Lin Tiandong also said, "Mother, my sister is right. As long as we do our business well and don't provoke them, they won't dare to do anything to us."
After hearing their words, Mrs. Chen felt a little relieved.
Lin Changgeng said with a serious expression, "Although you are not afraid of them, you cannot let your guard down. These people are reckless and capable of anything. Be careful when you go out in the future, and don't act alone."
"Yes, Father," Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong replied obediently.
For the next two days, Lin Changgeng went to town with Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong to set up a stall, and nothing happened.
Seeing that the thugs had stopped causing trouble, Lin Changgeng was no longer so worried.
