Chapter 23 The robbery
The fat woman pointed at Hou Yongqing with a determined face, and a cold and terrifying sneer crossed her face.

This girl is too good at robbing business to make money, now that they have a glimpse of her way of doing business, they naturally want to spare no effort to drive her away.

Of course, it would be great to know how she grinds wheat into fine powder.

In fact, there are many people around who are waiting to eat and buy flour, but after the fat woman disturbed them, all these people retreated far away.

There are even people who don't know that Hou Yongqing is labeled as a profiteer and a black heart.

But under the coercion of the fat woman, no one came forward to help her explain.

Hou Yongqing looked up at the fat woman who smashed her place, and the unhappiness in his heart magnified infinitely.

Seeing Hou Yongqing's clenched fists, Hui Niang knew something was wrong, so she quickly grabbed her and explained, "Sister, this person is one of the bullies in our Linchuan Township, and there are many people behind him, so don't force yourself, I will Look, if we can't do it today, let's close the stall, if you provoke these people, there will be a lot of trouble in the future!"

After all, Hui Niang helped to close the stall, but Hou Yongqing stopped her from moving.

bully?The original body is still a robber on the mountain, she inherited the original owner's martial arts, afraid of them?Ah!You underestimated her!
Originally, he wanted to beat up the fat woman who had cut her money, but he hadn't sold out his noodles yet, and he didn't want to ruin the venue, so he endured it first.

"Fat woman, you say I'm shoddy, right? This is your bowl of flour with a lot of scum in it. You can see clearly how I turned such a bowl of wheat slag flour into fine powder!"

Hou Yongqing poured the flour in the bowl on the table, took out his magical rolling pin from his arms, and just lightly rolled it, and the rough wheat flour immediately became smooth and delicate.

The fat woman was dumbfounded. They also grind wheat in the same way, but they use different tools. Then why are they also grinding, and she can grind the wheat so finely?
Is it because of the tool?
"Did you see clearly? The wheat flour I milled didn't have any slag, so you said that I hid the slag in another bag is completely false, bloody mouth!"

Hou Yongqing said with his hands on his hips that he was filled with righteous indignation and domineering, and the fat woman was also frightened by her aggressiveness and took a step back.

In fact, she still wanted to find fault with Hou Yongqing, so that her noodle stall could not continue, but after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't think of a useful trick, so she had to put down a harsh word and left.

As soon as the fat woman left, diners surrounded her curiously.

"Girl, do you use wheat to grind this flour? Then can you grind my wheat for a good price!"

Someone made a start, and someone immediately echoed.

"My family also has a lot of wheat. If I pay for it, can you also grind the wheat into flour for my family?"

"And I!"

"Add me one more!"

The people around were full of enthusiasm, and some even took out a ten taels of silver and handed it to Hou Yongqing.

Hou Yongqing was naturally ecstatic. People in this era don't know that wheat can be ground into powder, and naturally they don't know how to invent stone plates or other tools to operate it.

Now that they know the benefits of grinding wheat into flour, they naturally pin their hopes on her, and she will naturally make a lot of money.

Hou Yongqing happily took the money, thinking that he would get rich now.

But the person who gave the money said that he wanted to sign a contract. The person walked into a store, borrowed a pen and ink, picked up a pen and wrote a contract, dried it and handed it to Hou Yongqing for her to draw a contract. .

Hou Yongqing was illiterate, so he gave the contract to Bai Yan and asked him to read to himself what was written in it.

Bai Yan glanced at it and read it to her. It basically said that after receiving the huge sum of money, she promised to grind five hundred catties of wheat from his family into flour within two days, and give her five hundred catties of wheat after grinding into flour. If the work is not completed within two days, he will have to pay him double the deposit.

Hou Yongqing pressed her fingerprints happily when she heard that. She had been using a rolling pin to grind the wheat before, so the efficiency was naturally low, but if she switched to other tools, hundreds of catties of wheat would be a matter of blinking. Who asked the system to choose for her? I ordered a Hercules attribute package for her!

A certain system sensed Hou Yongqing's excitement, and showed a mechanized smile: Being considerate to the host is their way of making money!
After drawing the bet, Hou Yongqing told the man that he lived in a house next to the mountain in Guanshan Village, and he could find it with a little inquiry, and the wheat from their house could be carried to her house.

The people around also pricked up their ears and wrote down the address.

After the matter of grinding wheat was settled, Hou Yongqing concentrated on selling boiled noodles again, at this time she hummed excitedly again.

While working, Bai Yan couldn't help but ravage the dough as if it was that stinky girl.

Before, she thought he was talking too much to argue with her, causing her to lose the flour business, and angrily made a bad face for herself, but now she is laughing happily, why doesn't she thank him!
There were a lot of people coming to the market today, many people dressed as domestic servants came to buy noodles with exquisite bowls and food boxes, Hou Yongqing and Bai Yan divided the work, but the noodles were sold out within half a day.

Hou Yongqing counted the silver excitedly. Today, the boiled noodles and flour were sold for a total of 460 yuan, which is equivalent to a little more than three taels of silver.

There is also a wheat grinding business. Five of them paid deposits of ten taels, 20 taels, and 30 taels, and the remaining two paid 50 taels.

Of course, those who paid the deposit had signed the contract, and there was a time limit, but this was no problem for Hou Yongqing at all.

Counting the money on his body, he got 700 taels from selling the tiger earlier, and the 1000 taels he stole from Song Zhaza, plus the money from selling noodles today and yesterday, Hou Yongqing found that he was more than 100 taels short of [-] taels.

But it doesn't matter, these people will pay her after the flour is finished grinding. The labor fee for a bag of wheat is [-] Wen, which is almost the same!
Hou Yongqing tidied up the items on the booth and put them back in the shop with the red plaque.

Hui Niang's fish hadn't been sold out yet, but it was almost there. Hou Yongqing thought that there must be many people carrying wheat to the house and waiting, so he said goodbye to Hui Niang and prepared to take Bai Yan home together .

The peddler who robbed her of her flour business across the street hadn't been patronized since the fat woman made a fuss with her. At this time, the flour peddler saw her and Bai Yan, and immediately put away his stall.

Seeing his actions, Hou Yongqing suddenly felt that something was wrong, this man was afraid that he was going to harm her again, so she tightly hugged Yin Zi in her arms, while letting Bai Yan protect her and leave quickly.

Bailiyan just ignored her, with martial arts and brute force, would she be afraid of a few thieves?
The two left the market and came to a deserted path.

"Stop! Hand over your money!"

Suddenly, seven or eight people rushed out of the grass by the roadside, and Hou Yongqing knew a few of them, namely the thin pole, the hunchbacked old man, the fat woman, and the flour vendor.

Several people approached Hou Yongqing fiercely.
