Chapter 54 Collecting Protection Money



Wang Zhengqiu glanced at their stall and said with a smile, "Anke, you don't need to be so hostile. I've come to bring you good news. The owner of our restaurant has taken a liking to your jade tofu and is willing to pay one hundred taels of silver for your recipe. He also promised that if you're willing to sell, he'll give you an extra ten or twenty taels."

So that's how it is.

Anke flatly refused: "Not for sale!"

Wang Zhengqiu thought he had misheard, and his eyes widened considerably.

You heard me right.

An Wanwan could tell what he was thinking just by looking at him.

Wang Zhengqiu persisted, saying, "That's over a hundred taels of silver! You only earn a few dozen coins a day. How long would it take you to earn that much? If you think it's too little, I'll talk to our boss for you. You definitely won't suffer a loss."

Could he really be that kind?

An Wanwan and the others wouldn't believe it if you said he didn't benefit.

An Miaomiao shouted, "I'm not selling! Can't you understand human language? If you still can't understand, then donate those two useless parts of yours!"

"You, you are so ungrateful!"

"You'll regret this!"

Wang Zhengqiu stormed off in anger.

Walk a distance.

Wang Zhengqiu originally wanted to spend some money to find someone to deal with them, but after thinking about it, he didn't do that. Instead, he exaggerated the story to his master, saying that An Wanwan and the others didn't take him seriously at all, and that they wouldn't sell to him for even a thousand or ten thousand taels of silver, let alone a hundred taels.

"Did they really say that?"

He Shaoyuan, the owner of Qingfeng Restaurant, released the beauty in his arms and raised an eyebrow to ask Wang Zhengqiu.

"right!"

Wang Zhengqiu stood up straight and said.

Before He Shaoyuan could say anything...

Wang Zhengqiu continued, "Boss, they all know a bit of martial arts. Ordinary people are no match for them. I saw that I couldn't reason with them, so I didn't dare to say anything more, because they all wanted to beat me up at the time."

"You've given them too much face!"

He Shaoyuan then ordered his men to spend money to vandalize An Wanwan's stall, so that they would vandalize it every time they saw it in the future.

He would give money for each time someone smashed something.

An Wanwan and the others were unaware of this; they were busy selling mulberry leaf tofu.

Mulberry leaf tofu is something most people can't make.

Therefore.

Their mulberry leaf tofu is still unique to the town.

We saw off this group of customers who came to buy mulberry leaf tofu.

Anke glanced at the remaining mulberry leaf tofu and said, "Fourth sister, little sister, we don't have much tofu left. I estimate there are about seven or eight bowls left, and it will definitely be sold out soon."

He had barely finished speaking.

Several burly men, carrying wooden sticks, walked towards them.

This scared away people who originally wanted to buy mulberry leaf tofu.

"Someone's coming!"

An Miaomiao clenched her hands and said.

An Wanwan had already seen them. When they came over, she had An Ke move the stall behind them and stared at the newcomers, saying, "Brothers, what's going on here?"

"Of course we're here to collect protection money. Your stall is doing good business, fifty taels of silver a month, here you go!"

The man at the head of the group stretched out his right hand as he spoke.

He asks for so much money without even asking.

They can't earn that much in a month.

This isn't collecting protection money; it's clearly causing them trouble.

Anke was about to curse.

An Miaomiao slammed a spatula into the leader's hand: "Want money? No money, but I have a spatula!"

"You brat..."

The leader of the men was hit hard, and his hand swelled up immediately. Enraged, he took the stick and struck An Miaomiao.

An Miaomiao dodged to the side.

An Wanwan seized the opportunity to dodge the man's stick and retaliated.
