Chapter 23 Setting Up a Fishing Stall +6
The town is close to the endless sea, affected by the constant ice and snow inside, even though the season is only late autumn and early winter, people have already ushered in the cold and severe snow with continuous snow.

In this kind of weather, it is said that there will not be many people going out for activities, but ordinary people who lack food and clothing, no one has the blessing to stay at home to avoid the cold.

It took less than 5 minutes for the three children to set up the stall, and Chengzhu's clear shouts attracted a large number of ordinary people who went out to seek a living.

Hearing him shouting "Fresh meat—three pennies—" and looking at the neatly stacked, snow-white and fresh meat on his stall, everyone couldn't move their feet.

No matter where they originally wanted to go, at this moment, making meat grabbing the top priority.

"Give me three!"

"Give me five!"

"I want ten!"

"."

In less than a quarter of an hour, the thick pile of worm meat was sold out by the early customers.

Two of them, taking advantage of Cheng Zhu and the others' lack of skills, sneakily carried away a piece of world-eating insect meat from the stall.

It's not that they don't want to take more, it's that Jiang Xiaoyu noticed them the first time they stole.

If it weren't for the fact that they were running fairly fast and the stall was really inseparable from people, the little girl would have even wanted to snatch back the two they had already got.

The two people who thought they were taking advantage ran farther and farther amid the little girl's angry "stop" sound, but they didn't know that their behavior had completely excluded them from the scope of employment by Zhen Xiaomei.

"If you still want to buy, please queue up, otherwise we won't sell it." Pulling Jiang Xiaoyu who was jumping angrily, Cheng Zhu dragged out two bags of world-eating insect meat from the snow behind him.

Those guests who didn't snatch it saw it, and after a huff, they surrounded it again.

Cheng Zhu held the bag and did not open it, making it clear that if everyone didn't line up, he would not continue this business.

The faces of the other guys who wanted to fish in troubled waters suddenly became extremely ugly, but those who really wanted to buy were squeezed together and formed a long queue after a while.

They bought three for you and five for me, and they emptied all the coppers in their wallets in a short while.

At the same time, more people who got the news also ran over from the town with money.

It is not easy for these people to earn money. They are busy from morning to night, and may not be able to earn ten copper coins a day, but the things they want to buy are more expensive than the same.

Among other things, let's just talk about the cheapest rice noodle mixed with bran in the town's grain shop.

That thing costs nine cents a catty, not to mention other more expensive grains, vegetables and meat.

The unknown meat sold by Chengzhu and the others weighed three catties per item, and three catties cost three pennies. Wouldn't it be one catty for one penny?
One article!It is not much different from Bai Jian.

The people in the town who wanted to understand this suddenly went crazy. They called their family members and relatives, and rushed to Chengzhu's small stall together.

Cheng Zhu still said the same thing, line up and come one by one, otherwise they won't sell.

Most of the people were very obedient and cooperated with the queue, but there were also a few people who acted as if they couldn't understand people's words, and surrounded Cheng Zhu's stall with a whimper.

Chengzhu reiterated that he had to line up, but these people were unmoved, and some even went around the stall to get the bags piled on the ground.

This Chengzhu couldn't bear it anymore. If he didn't give the money, he just took it. Isn't this a clear robbery?

He jumped up and kicked the man's wrist with his toe.

The man let go with a scream, "You brat! Who gave you the guts to kick me?"

"If you dare to snatch me, you dare to kick me!" Cheng Zhu is no longer the same Cheng Zhu who was chased to nowhere, because he, Cheng Mei and Jiang Xiaoyu cherish Zhen Xiaomei very much because of suffering from being weak and powerless. Given the opportunity to practice martial arts for them, after a long period of hard practice, the skills of these three little ones are no longer what they used to be.

He stood in a triangle with Chengmei and Jiang Xiaoyu, holding a long sword to firmly protect the world-eating insect flesh on the ground, so that those who want to follow suit and just grab a wave and leave will not be able to find them any gaps.

The two groups confronted each other, and those who wanted to be empty-handed white wolves failed many times and ended up injured. In the end, they could only help each other back to the town with depressed faces.

After they left, the three of Cheng Zhu put away their long swords and continued to do business. Their aura changed quickly, and they stared blankly at the townspeople who were carefully watching the development of the situation.

With a kind heart, he reminded them in a low voice while Chengzhu was counting the money, "Those few are not easy to mess with, you'd better leave as soon as possible."

Chengzhu paused while counting the money, "Thank you for reminding me."

He continued to count the twelve copper coins that were halfway through, and then signaled Jiang Xiaoyu to take five pieces of world-eating insect meat that had been frozen into lumps of ice for the man.

The man was overjoyed, the twelve copper coins he gave were only enough to buy four, and the extra one was obviously Cheng Zhu thanking him for his kind reminder just now.

He carried the five world-eating insect meat that Jiang Xiaoyu handed over, and happily returned to his home in the town.

About two quarters of an hour after he left, the group of people who had been beaten away by Cheng Zhu and the others turned back aggressively as he expected.

Along with them was Zhu Hong, the head of the Zhu family, the only warrior family in the town.

Zhu Hong originally brought people out to inspect his own property, but halfway through the inspection, a distant relative of a guard next to him suddenly approached the guard and asked him to bring a word to Zhu Hong for him.

Zhu Hong learned from him that there were unknown people selling cheap meat in large quantities outside the town, and his thoughts were immediately occupied by the words "a lot" and "cheap".

Although he is the lord of a town, the town he occupies is notoriously chaotic and poor in Kyushu.

In order to maintain his status as the lord of a town, he not only needs to spend a lot of wealth to support the warriors every year, but also needs to make offerings to the Shen family in Zhoucheng on a regular basis.

Either of these two things would cost a lot of money, but the town he ruled was full of villains who couldn't get along in other places, or ordinary people who couldn't make much money at all.

Those villains survived after committing many crimes. There is no doubt that all of them have unique skills. In order not to cause troubles that cannot be handled by himself and his family, Zhu Hong did not dare to extend his hands to these people.

As for those ordinary people who are easy to bully, although Zhu Hong is not afraid of their revenge or resistance, he is very afraid that they will unite and escape together_(:з」∠)_
Although he is mercenary, he also knows that the premise of pulling wool is that there are sheep in his sheepfold.

In order not to force the last batch of lambs to leave their hometowns, Zhu Hong silently suppressed his urge to break in and plunder many times when he was short of money and food.
