Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Today, the bakery's business is extremely hot, and the store's output has increased significantly, reaching the level of 10,000 loaves of bread a day.

Outside the shop, the line of people buying bread stretched for several streets, winding and twisting, and the scene was quite spectacular.

In the queue, there were small families buying five or ten loaves at a time, as well as large families buying hundreds of loaves of bread at a time.

Wei Xiaobao looked at the endless stream of customers, smiling so much that his eyes narrowed into slits. He excitedly asked Shuang'er beside him: "My dear Shuang'er, is my way of making money okay?" Then he gave Shuang'er a warm hug.

Shuang Er was a little shy, and as she struggled to get away, she said, "Husband, there are so many people watching us!"

Xiaobao chuckled and suggested, "Then let's go inside?"

Shuang'er replied, "The bread is selling well, my husband is happy, but don't let me be happy! Besides, it's broad daylight now, and I still have to keep an eye on the bakery. Today is the first day for the chefs to make bread, and Shuang'er is worried!"

After Shuang'er finished speaking, she fluttered into the kitchen with the pair of little white rabbits on her chest. Xiaobao looked at them with envy, but could do nothing.

It has been almost a month since he traveled to the Qing Dynasty. Because of his weak body, he could only look at Shuang'er and swallow his saliva. Today, he finally found some feeling, but Shuang'er ran away again with an excuse, which made him feel messy.

In fact, Shuang'er knew the Master's thoughts very well. As the Seventh Lady, she was no longer a virgin. At the age of twenty, it was like dry wood and raging fire.

However, Shuang'er clearly realized that the reason why the young master faked his death was because he was too addicted to sex. Therefore, she decided to reduce such things as much as possible in the future.

Xiaobao sat at the gate, watching Manager Qin busy and having fun, but he couldn't help getting angry. He didn't know that Shuang'er had already pushed him under the corner of the bed in her heart.

At this moment, a group of officers came over from the street with an old man.

The leading officer said to Shopkeeper Qin: "Shopkeeper Qin, your business is booming!"

Shopkeeper Qin put down the bread in his hand and saw that it was Captain Liu, the prefect of Shuri Prefecture. He signaled the waiter to continue selling, and then said some polite words while leading Captain Liu and others into the house.

After everyone was seated, Captain Liu pointed at the old man in the upper seat and said to Shopkeeper Qin, "Shopkeeper Qin, let me introduce you. This is Master Wang, the chief steward of the Shuri prefect."

When Shopkeeper Qin heard the three words "Master Wang", he couldn't help but shudder. He couldn't afford to offend such a big shot in Shuri Castle. Facing such a distinguished guest, he couldn't neglect him either. He had to force a smile and talk to Master Wang carefully.

The prefect of Shuri Castle was called Wu Huairen, also known as Wu the Bad Man. He was an official known for his greed. He not only extorted money from the people, but also took a finger from people carrying manure on the road. This level of greed was extreme.

As an important aide to Magistrate Wu, Mr. Wang came up with many ideas for plundering the people's wealth, and was deeply trusted and valued by Magistrate Wu.

Shopkeeper Qin had been doing business in Shuri Castle for more than 20 years, and he was already familiar with Master Wang's famous saying that Master Wang would come to the inn to save money and avoid disaster. When he saw Master Wang and his group walking into the inn, his heart tightened. He knew that Master Wang must have come for the two distinguished guests from the upper country.

Sure enough, as soon as Master Wang opened his mouth, he mentioned the two distinguished guests and praised Shopkeeper Qin for his booming bakery business.

Shopkeeper Qin knew very well that this was just Master Wang's opening statement, and that he would definitely blackmail him next. He responded to Master Wang's words tremblingly, trying to remain calm.

When Master Wang saw the reaction of Shopkeeper Qin, he couldn't help but feel proud. He knew that the most feared thing for these merchants from other places was to offend the government. As long as he showed them a little color, they would obediently take out the money. So, he deliberately put on a high-handed attitude and asked Shopkeeper Qin to invite the two distinguished guests out.

Shopkeeper Qin had no choice but to invite Wei Xiaobao out. As soon as Wei Xiaobao saw Master Wang, he knew that this was a difficult character to deal with. He cursed in his heart, wondering how he was so unlucky, not only did he travel through time to this poor guy, but he also just found a way to make ends meet after escaping to Ryukyu, but he was blackmailed again.

When Master Wang saw Wei Xiaobao, he was delighted. He saw the noble aura on Wei Xiaobao and determined that he was a wealthy man from the upper country.

So, he pretended to be nonchalant, waiting to see what Wei Xiaobao would do. Wei Xiaobao understood immediately that Master Wang was hinting that he should give money as a tribute.

Although Wei Xiaobao was dissatisfied, he knew that he could only swallow his anger in the current situation. He turned and walked towards the inner courtyard, intending to discuss countermeasures with Shuang'er. Seeing Wei Xiaobao's reaction, Captain Liu couldn't help but laugh.

Shopkeeper Qin could only smile at the side, but he was cursing these people in his heart.

After a while, Wei Xiaobao came out from the inner courtyard with fifty taels of silver in his hand. This silver was the surplus from his bread sales in the past two days. He handed the silver to Master Wang respectfully, hoping to calm the storm.

However, Master Wang was not satisfied. He glanced at the silver in Wei Xiaobao's hand, then stared at Shopkeeper Qin, as if to say, "Is this just a small amount of money? You really don't take me seriously!"

Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Qin was so frightened that he stood there in a daze, begging for mercy again and again.

Wei Xiaobao had no choice but to explain: "Please calm down, gentlemen. This is all the money I have. I really don't have any more. I will come back to honor you when I have more money in a few days."

After hearing what Wei Xiaobao said, although Master Wang was unhappy, he also knew that he couldn't push him too hard.

So he changed his tone and said, "Mr. Wei, it doesn't matter if you don't have cash. I'll use the bread sold in front of the door to make up the number today. But if you want to stay in Shuri Castle, you must pay 500 taels of silver within a month, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" After that, he signaled Captain Liu to collect the bread.

Shuang'er saw this scene from behind the door of the back hall. She was so angry that she clenched her fists and wanted to rush out to argue with these officials and bandits. But Wei Xiaobao stopped her and shook his head. He knew that he could only swallow his anger in the current situation. The local snake cannot be suppressed by the wall. In the current situation, he could only endure it. What else could he do if he didn't endure it?

Alas, it is so hard to be a commoner in this world! Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He knew that this blackmail was just the beginning, and they would face more difficulties and challenges in the future. But he also firmly believed that as long as they worked hard, they would get rid of this predicament one day.
