Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 353 Traveling Together

"Ruining your business?" Luo Yanxing was puzzled at first, but soon realized, "Are you the owner of Yanhongtang?"

Yanhongtang was a rouge and powder shop that also sold soap on East Street. As early as when she first started selling soap, Song Ying reminded her to be careful of the people in Yanhongtang.

As the saying goes, cutting off someone's financial resources is as good as killing his parents. Since ancient times, many disasters have been caused by blocking someone's financial resources. There were only so many people who bought pancreas in Qingshui County. After the maids and servants bought pancreas from her, naturally fewer people went to other shops to buy it. As the shop that sold the most pancreas, Yanhongtang must have suffered the greatest impact.

Knowing that the other party was looking for trouble, Luo Yanxing covered the basket, slung it over his arm, and retorted: "You sell it at a high price, so people are not willing to buy it from your shop. How can you ask me to ruin your business? Does it mean that people in Qingshui County can only buy pancreas from your shop?"

"Hey, so you are born with such a sharp tongue. No wonder you can convince so many people to buy your pancreas. Today, let me teach you the rules of doing business!" The owner of Yanhongtang changed his benevolent face and rolled up his sleeves.

Seeing this, Luo Yanxing darted to the tree next to her, hugged the trunk and climbed up the tree in a few steps. She stood on the tree, looking down from above: "Why, do you still want to hit someone?"

The owner of Yanhong Hall saw a flash before his eyes, and the sharp-tongued girl quickly climbed up the tree. He was still in a daze when he heard the little girl yelling at the top of her voice, "Someone come! The owner of Yanhong Hall is beating someone up!"

He was so angry that he said sternly, "Get down from here. If you disturb the nobles in the mansions, you will be in big trouble!"

Luo Yanxing ignored his threats and continued shouting at the top of his lungs.

Because she had just sold pancreas to a nearby family, the maids had not gone far and came out to check after hearing the noise.

"Manager Qi, why are you here? What happened?"

It was obvious that these maids often went to Yanhongtang to buy things, and they recognized Manager Qi at a glance.

"It's okay, it's all a misunderstanding." Shopkeeper Qi put on a smiling face.

Luo Yanxing on the tree said, "What misunderstanding? The owner of Yanhongtang thinks that the pancreas I sold to you is too cheap, and you guys don't buy it from his shop, cutting off his source of income. He wants to beat me up! Look, he has rolled up his sleeves!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, several maids noticed her on the tree and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Sister Yanxing, what are you doing climbing up the tree?"

"Manager Qi wants to hit me." Luo Yanxing pointed at Manager Qi.

Several maids frowned, and one of them said, "Shopkeeper Qi, this is your fault. This is a business, whether there are customers or not depends entirely on your ability, how can you hit people?"

These maids all benefited from Luo Yanxing's soap, so they naturally sided with Luo Yanxing at this time. Moreover, the intention of Shopkeeper Qi was really hateful. His soap was expensive, but instead of selling it cheaper, he wanted to drive away those who sold it cheaper. Wasn't this forcing them to go to his shop to buy the very expensive soap?

Manager Qi was naturally not afraid of a few maids, but if this matter was not handled properly, he would offend most of the maids and servants who bought pancreas in Qingshui County, which would be a big blow to his business.

Taking this into consideration, Shopkeeper Qi said, "Miss Cuifen, don't listen to her nonsense. We at Yanhongtang have always been doing business honestly. How could we hit someone? I just want to talk to this little girl."

"I have nothing to say to you." Luo Yanxing rejected it outright. "He just wanted to beat me up. How can you roll up your sleeves when talking to someone? Besides, I'm still a little girl!"

Manager Qi's explanation was so weak that anyone with a little common sense could understand that he was lying, let alone the servants who made a living in the mansion. Cuifen and the others didn't believe it at all.

"In the past, everyone said that Shopkeeper Qi was amiable and approachable. Although the things in Yanhongtang were expensive, we would go there several times a year because the shopkeeper was a good person. Now it seems that we don't need to go there anymore."

Cuifen's words were extremely impolite, and Shopkeeper Qi wanted to scold her, telling her that it was up to her to go or not, as his shop was so big that he couldn't miss a customer like her.

But think about how many powerful and wealthy families there are nearby, and how their servants often visit each other. If such words were cursed out, it would not just be Cuifen and her friends who would stop going to their store.

Shopkeeper Qi endured it and explained seriously: "Miss Cuifen, that's not right. I really didn't mean to hit anyone. I rolled up my sleeves because the sun was rising and I felt a little hot, so I rolled up my sleeves to cool down."

Seeing that Cuifen and the others didn't really believe it, Shopkeeper Qi hurriedly said, "Forget it, forget it. I won't argue with you girls. I'm leaving now."

As he spoke, he did not forget to say to Luo Yanxing on the tree: "Miss, if you don't want to talk to me, just say so. Why slander me?"

Then, he threw his sleeves and left.

"Sister Yanxing, please come down quickly, he is gone." Cuifen shouted.

Luo Yanxing came down from the tree and said, "Thank you sisters for your words of justice. Otherwise, I don't know what to do."

She looked very scared and panicked, and took out a few more pancreases, saying, "Sisters, you must accept these pancreases."

Cuifen and others naturally didn't want it, but Luo Yanxing insisted. After several refusals, Cuifen and others accepted it, comforted Luo Yanxing with a few words, and went back to the house.

Luo Yanxing continued to sell pancreas until he was almost sold out and then went to West Street.

As soon as we left East Street, Shopkeeper Qi jumped out from the side and said with a fierce smile, "Finally I've waited for you, little rascal. Now let's see who else you can call for help!"

Luo Yanxing shouted as usual: "Hurry up, someone, the shopkeeper Qi from Yanhongtang is beating people up!"

But this time, Shopkeeper Qi was not afraid at all. "You can shout as much as you want! The maids and servants in those mansions rarely come to West Street!"

Looking at the people who came over after hearing the sound, Luo Yanxing said, "Aren't you afraid that people will know that you do business this way?"

"Humph, my customers are mostly from East Street. What if the people from West Street find out? Even if I beat you to death, it will take a long time for the maids in the mansion to know about it. By that time, huh! Even if they know about it, what can they do?"

Luo Yanxing looked around and said to a girl selling vegetables nearby: "Miss, please lend me your shoulder pole."

As a young girl, the girl naturally favored Luo Yanxing. Moreover, Shopkeeper Qi's words were too arrogant. The girl couldn't stand it and immediately handed the pole to her: "Sister, feel free to use it!"

Luo Yanxing handed her the bamboo basket again and said, "Sister, please help me keep an eye on it. I'll give you a piece of soap later."

Although the girl didn't know what pancreas was, she still took the basket.
