Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

[Negative emotions from Zheng Rong +50, +50, +50...]

【From Mayi...】

[From Qin Asheng...]

【From Lu Yi...】

【From Widow Zhou...】

As Lu You pointed at the chopsticks and shouted in a pretentious voice, everyone present except Lu Ming began to crazily contribute negative emotions.

Lu You turned to look at Lu Ming, only to see that he was looking at him seriously.

"Aren't you curious why I said that?"

Lu Ming nodded vigorously after hearing this: "Curious."

"Then what are you thinking?"

"There must be a reason why my second sister did this." Lu Ming said seriously.

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +100, +100, +100...]

Receiving completely opposite emotional responses from his two younger brothers at the same time, Lu You turned and looked at Zheng Xiezi opposite him.

"Those five words are the tone I used just now. If the person I'm looking for hears them, they will naturally come looking for me."

"You can talk to more people. As long as you find someone, I can give you the prescription."

[Negative emotions from Zheng Xiezi +80, +80, +80...]

“Actually, I think it’s good to continue the cooperation like this.”

Zheng Xiezi said this with a smile, but the strange look he gave Lu You betrayed his true thoughts.

Does this guy think I'm a lunatic?

Lu You thought helplessly in his heart that it seemed impossible to ask Zheng Xiezi to help him find out the time traveler's thoughts.

Now that the cooperation has been finalized, there is no need for Zheng Xiezi to stay any longer.

He only left behind one or two taels of silver and then took his men back to report.

This is the money for twenty pancakes tomorrow.

Widow Zhou finally understood at this moment why Lu You had specifically pointed out during their previous chat that he valued her for her tight-lipped nature.

It really is too easy to make money!

Twenty pancakes a day, if you don't count Luyou's mysterious prescription, just the mihu and fried pork with potatoes and peppers...

Even if you don't add any potatoes and just wrap it in shredded meat, the cost will never exceed one penny of silver.

But now it can be sold for only one tael and two cents?

This is a tenfold profit!

"Deer... Let's sell it..."

Looking at the silver on the table, Widow Zhou suppressed her trembling excitement and said.

"What are you selling?" Lu You asked curiously.

"Cakes!" Widow Zhou pointed to the pancake griddle next to her and said, "Twenty pancakes will be finished in a short while. I can make more and sell them to others to make more money."

Looking at Widow Zhou's money-obsessed look, Lu You smiled bitterly.

"Didn't you hear what Zheng Xiezi asked?"

"In order to keep the price low, we have to sell it at a high price of at least 1.2 yuan."

"My medicine is just a refreshing effect. Apart from those gamblers who can spend two cents to buy cakes, they won't do any strenuous work. There is no need for it."

Widow Zhou looked at the pancake griddle with unwilling eyes: "That's true, but what if someone buys it? I'll just sell it as it comes."

Lu You did not argue with Widow Zhou. He just looked towards the door and sighed softly.

"Rather than making money, I'm more worried about when they will turn against me."

When Widow Zhou heard Lu You's words, she was stunned.

"Falling out? Didn't they reach a cooperation agreement with us? Why would they fall out?"

"This kind of cooperation will not last long." Lu Yi next to him frowned and said.

Lu You turned to look at Lu Yi, motioning him to continue.

Lu Yi thought for a moment, then spoke calmly.

"Zheng Xiezi investigated our background. If he just wanted to cooperate peacefully, why did he investigate?"

"I think it's the same as what my second sister thought. They were planning to rob us openly."

"It's just that due to some unknown reasons, they had no choice but to cooperate with us temporarily."

"But at the same time, I think the things that make them feel fearful are probably not reliable."

"This can be seen from the fact that they require us to double the price when selling cakes to others."

"They are doing this to block our sales channels while also targeting our bottom line!"

"If we had directly refused or negotiated the price, as long as we appeared strong and fearless, they would have been more afraid of us."

Lu Yi's explanation was extremely clear, and in just a few words he broke down the whole thing and presented it to everyone.

This made Lu You very happy. After all, Lu Yi was so smart. As long as he helped him enter the officialdom, he should be able to "enjoy his old age".

Just when Lu You was secretly rejoicing about his better future life, he heard the sound of deer calling.

"Then why didn't you remind Second Sister when Zheng Xiezi didn't leave just now?"

Lu Yi turned to look at Lu Ming, his face calm and he spoke slowly: "I didn't think about it just now. I only figured it out after they left."

Luming: "Oh, that's okay."

Aren’t you so easy-going?

Seeing Lu Ming's face full of approval, Lu You was speechless.

As for Lu Yi's shameless look with his chest puffed out and his head held high, Lu You really liked it.

Being able to speak of "hindsight" with such self-confidence, his shamelessness alone makes him a good candidate for officialdom in the Daxingwu Dynasty.

"Xiao Yi is right. Zheng Xiezi and his gang are doing illegal things after all. We should prepare for the worst."

Lu You said this in a serious tone, and in her heart, she began to wonder what Zheng Xiezi and his gang were afraid of.

My family are all decent farmers and have no support at all.

The only person who can establish a relationship with him is Zhao Wenbo. Could it be that the other party is afraid of Zhao Wenbo?

He was a scholar, and although he opened a restaurant in the town, he had some good friends from his school who came to support him.

But Zheng Xiezi also said that Mr. Ma Sanye, the banker of Changlefang, is the brother-in-law of County Magistrate Lang.

With such a strong relationship, they shouldn't be scared by a scholar.

What are they afraid of...

But Lu You didn't know that she had guessed wrong this time.

The person the other party is afraid of is really Zhao Bowen!

After tasting the medicinal effects of the pancakes, Mr. Ma San realized the business opportunities they contained.

As an expert at making quick money through unconventional means, Mr. Ma Sanye's first thought was to steal the prescription directly.

However, this person has always been cautious in doing things, so he sent Zheng Xiezi and others to investigate the background of Lu You and others.

Even though Zheng Xiezi and his men are just thugs, they are very efficient when it comes to getting things done.

In addition, the information of Lu You and others was no secret, so it was easy to find out. So in just a short day, they had thoroughly investigated Lu You's identity.

From Heyuan Village to Shuxiang Restaurant, he even looked through the government's household registration book.

And it was from this mess of information that they came up with a message.

This deer can’t move for the time being!
