"Everyone can buy it if they like it! It opens today, buy one catty and get one catty free, buy ten catties and get ten catties free." Zhou Sheng said loudly, seizing on the villagers' tendency to be greedy for petty gains, he first aroused everyone's desire, and then gave
Welfare temptation.
"Yes! Get it for free when you buy it, it's a great deal." Li Fang also shouted.
Some people have already been unable to resist the temptation and asked: "How much does it cost per pound?"
"Four yuan a pound." Zhou Sheng replied.
Some people questioned, "So expensive?"
"It's not expensive! Our carefully made snacks, buy one pound and get one pound free." Zhou Sheng said confidently that the price is very suitable.
Some people were hesitant at first, but some people thought of buying it as a gift and it was delicious, so they happily paid for it.
When Li Fang saw someone paying money, her eyes lit up and she greeted the villagers even more enthusiastically.
But as soon as they sold and bought a few, the villagers who were watching were violently pushed away.
Zhou Sheng frowned and saw a fat man with curly yellow hair walking over with a few young men dressed in non-mainstream styles. These people were famous gangsters on the street, and he was once one of them.
"Hey! Isn't this Zhou Sheng? He changed his profession to selling sweet potatoes!" Fatty Wang held a cigarette in his mouth and put his legs on the stone bench beside him.
"You started a business after you left us, and you're doing pretty well!"
"Bah! What's so good about doing business? It's better to follow our big brother and enjoy the good life."
"People look down on our eldest brother! Now, we are in business by ourselves."
"Doing business is good! When doing business, you have to pay protection fees. In the past, he didn't want to collect money from us, but now he is the one who wants to give us money, haha!"
Several followers behind Fatty Wang sneered.
Zhou Sheng's face was gloomy, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Luo Dahe reaching out and saying, "Give me money! How can I not pay protection fees when setting up a stall here?"
"I just started a business and I have no money!"
Zhou Sheng answered truthfully, he indeed had no money.
These people had some issues with him before, and they had been relying on collecting protection fees from stalls for their livelihood. If they saw him today, they probably wouldn't let him go.
Thinking that he had to get close first, he took a few packets of dried sweet potatoes and handed one packet to each of them.
"Come on, let's try it. I made it myself. It's delicious."
After a few people accepted it, they opened it and tasted it.
"Bah! What does it taste like? It tastes so bad?" Fatty Wang took a bite and immediately spat it out.
Seeing this, the other people also vomited.
Luo Dahe also threw the dried sweet potatoes on the ground and stepped on them several times with his feet.
Zhou Sheng remained silent, with an indifferent expression on his face, but he was faintly restraining his anger, because he knew that if he got angry, he might start a fight with these people.
In the past, he would definitely have been beaten, but the situation is different now, and he has to be more rational.
Seeing this, the surrounding villagers knew that Zhou Sheng was in trouble, so they all left.
"Brother Fatty Wang, let's discuss something!" Zhou Sheng looked at Fatty Wang and said in a slower tone. He already had an idea in his mind to prevent the other party from making things difficult in a short time.
But Wang Fat waved his hand and said impatiently: "Hurry up and give me the money, otherwise don't set up a stall here."
"The condom is almost useless, but the money is really good." Luo Dahe rubbed his hands and glared at Zhou Sheng.
"Yes! Give me the money quickly."
"Give me money!"
The other gangsters also pressed for money.
Seeing this, Li Fang pulled her son's clothes and whispered: "Otherwise... we will still..."
Zhou Sheng stretched out his hand to stop his mother from talking. He understood that his mother wanted to use money to settle the matter, but he knew that people like Wang Pang, if there is a first time, there will be a second time. I am afraid that the money they earn is not enough to pay.
So, he smiled seductively and said, "Fat Wang, let's make a bet! If I lose, from now on, I will give you as much protection money as you want. But if you lose, you can no longer ask for my protection money."
"He knew that Fatty Wang liked gambling and spent all the protection money he collected on gambling, so he took the right medicine and issued the challenge.
When Wang Fat heard about the bet, his heart was as uncontrollable as a moth flying to a flame. His eyes were shining with confusion and he asked: "How to bet?"
"Brother, didn't you say you should stop gambling?" Luo He was anxious and quickly advised: "Stop gambling, just let him give you money and that's it. Besides, if you lose, you won't have any money."
When Wang Fat heard what Luo He said, he hit Luo He on the head angrily, "Who said I would lose? You are cursing me!"
"No! Brother, I'm afraid that boy is cheating and you will be deceived!" Fatty Wang pointed at Zhou Sheng, always feeling that this boy was full of evil.
"What kind of deception does he dare to do in front of me?" Wang Fat said disdainfully.
Seeing this, Zhou Sheng quickly agreed, "Yes, I don't dare to play clever tricks in front of Fat Brother, I am just a stupid person."
Luo He didn't believe it, and pointed at Zhou Sheng angrily, "Zhou Sheng, you are a liar, you...!"
"Shut up! Stop talking." Wang Pangze angrily scolded Luo He. Luo He meant that he would be fooled and would lose. He called him stupid and useless, and he was very unhappy!
So, he warned in an unhappy tone: "I have the final say whether to bet or not. It's not your turn to dictate my affairs."
Luo He met Wang Pang's displeased gaze and immediately stopped talking.
Seeing that the fish was about to take the bait, Zhou Sheng suggested with a smile: "Fat Brother's swimming skills are very good, how about we make a bet on swimming? Let's go into the water together, and whoever swims to the east bank first will win. How about that?"
When Fatty Wang heard that it was what he was good at, he nodded without hesitation.
Luo He's face was full of surprise. He knew that Zhou Sheng was a landlubber, but he wanted to bet on swimming. This was like admitting defeat!
So, he put his mind at ease and had the mentality of watching a good show.
"Son, why don't we stop gambling? This is too scary." Li Fang knew that her son couldn't swim and now he had to compete. She was very frightened and worried.
Zhou Sheng squeezed Li Fang's hand tightly and reassured her, "Mom, don't worry."
Li Fang shook her head and disagreed.
Wang Fat waited impatiently and signaled the two followers to come forward and pull Li Fang away.
Zhou Sheng knew that they would not harm Li Fang, so he followed Wang Pang to the river.
When the people in the village learned that the two were going to bet on swimming, they all came to watch the fun and wanted to know who would win.
The river in the village is very long and deep, with twists and turns, and the current is so fast that people who can't swim will be drowned if they fall in.
Fatty Wang had already taken off his shirt and was standing by the river, "Zhou Sheng, it's not too late for you to admit defeat now."
Zhou Sheng took off his clothes silently, his eyes filled with confidence.
He did not know how to swim before he was reborn, but he can swim after rebirth. Because in his previous life, he had practiced swimming hard to make a living as a swimming instructor and lifeguard, so swimming is very easy for him now.
Wang Fat snorted coldly, feeling that Zhou Sheng was overestimating his abilities, "If you die in a while, don't blame us!"
"With so many people watching, they all know that I volunteered. If something happens to me, it's not your fault." Zhou Sheng shrugged indifferently.
"Okay! Get ready, start!"
Luo He gave an order, and Wang Pang and Zhou Sheng jumped into the river. Their figures, one thin and one fat, formed a sharp contrast.
