Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Although this street corner is nearly twenty meters away from the entrance of Changlefang.

But the street was too quiet, and Jiang Shan and the other man did not lower their voices, so Lu You heard every word of their conversation.

But this is strange.

Shouldn't these pancakes be a refreshment for those gamblers?

But listening to their conversation, it seems like this gambler is gambling just for the pancakes.

For some reason, Lu You suddenly thought of a scene from a movie in his previous life.

Just for this little bit of vinegar, I made these dumplings!

Isn't this all screwed up?

However, seeing how anxious the pockmarked man was just now, Lu You was certain of one thing.

That means the sales of these pancakes have really taken off.

The six taels of silver given by Zheng Xiezi was not a test, but because he really needed a large number of pancakes.

But what Lu You couldn't understand was that these pancakes only made people energetic and were not addictive, so how come they became so popular for no reason?

No, this matter must be made clear!

Having made up his mind, Lu You stood at the corner of the street motionlessly, waiting for the pockmarked man to come out.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the pockmarked man finally came out holding a round oil-paper bag.

There should be rolled pancakes in there.

Jiangshan was obviously familiar with Mazi, and when Mazi came out, he grabbed him again.

"How's it going, Mazi? How's your luck today?"

"Back! I lost eight cents!"

Although he said so, Lu You could not see any regret on the pockmarked man's face. Instead, he was full of excitement.

Is this person stupid?

"You lost money, but you're still so happy?" Jiang Shan said in a playful tone: "It seems that this pancake is quite effective!"

Ma Zi reached out and patted the oil paper bag in his hand, with a smug smile on his face.

"The last one, Master Zheng sold it to me!"

"With this, I won't lose tonight!"

As the man spoke, he walked back the way he came. Lu You, who was squatting on the corner, slowly backed away, turned around and walked around in front of the man.

She had to figure out the reason behind this tonight.

Lu You originally wanted to use the Juneday facial mask to change her appearance, so she directly asked the man the reason.

But when she thought about the fact that Juneday facial mask cost 5,000 points each, she felt a little painful.

And even if he asked after changing his appearance, as long as Zheng Xiezi heard about this, the other party would definitely understand that he must have done it.

This method of covering one's ears and stealing the bell is really an insult to other people's IQ.

After thinking it over, Lu You decided to hang around in the back and see where the man went.

The two of them walked through the streets and alleys, and finally arrived at Xing'an Street where Shuxiang Restaurant was located.

What is he doing here?

Xing'an Street is the market place of Qingshi Town, which is divided into two streets, front and back.

Most legitimate businesses like Shuxiang Restaurant are located on the front street.

The back streets are a real den of money, with brothels, prostitutes and casinos, and the lights on the streets are on all night long.

Lu You followed the man all the way to the back street. Although it was late at night, it was still very lively here.

There were women in revealing and glamorous clothes standing at the door, soliciting customers in sweet voices.

There were also drunken men walking in groups of three or five on the street, swaying and about to fall.

There are also gamblers who lost all their money and were thrown out of the casino with a look of resentment on their faces.

The back street of Xing'an Street is like a colorful soap bubble, depicting a completely dreamy and absurd false prosperity.

But in Lu You's eyes, there was only that man named Ma Zi.

But suddenly, Lu You stopped.

Because that man actually plunged into the brothel.

amount……

How can I follow this place?

Lu You looked at the sign that read Fengmingyuan speechlessly.

What is he doing here with pancakes?

Lu You was thinking about it when he heard a playful voice behind him.

"Hey! Whose young lady is this? Why is she here looking for her husband in the middle of the night?"

"Turn around quickly and let your brother see your little appearance. Let your brother take good care of you, haha..."

Hearing the obvious teasing words behind him, Lu You slowly turned around, only to see that the people speaking were the drunken men he had met before.

The big man was laughing loudly, but when he saw Lu You's appearance clearly, he was stunned.

belch!

The big man stared at Lu You blankly as he burped, then bent over and vomited.

vomit……

Lu You tapped his toes and subconsciously hid to the side.

The big man returned all the wine and food in his stomach to the land he loved!

Someone nearby tried to help him, but the big man waved him away.

"No need to help!"

The big man staggered to his feet and looked at Lu You.

"You're so ugly..."

"No wonder your husband didn't come home in the middle of the night and wanted to come here to have fun."

"If I were your husband, I wouldn't reply either, hahaha..."

As the big man spoke, the other big men beside him also laughed out loud.

"It's just as Brother Deng said. This woman is dark-skinned and skinny. She's really ugly..."

"It's just..."

Lu You just looked at them quietly, then turned and walked out of Xing'an Street.

From beginning to end, the system did not respond at all.

Lu You was certain that these people had no real intention of harming him, they were just simply behaving immorally after drinking.

But so what?

Women are all narrow-minded.

Walking out of the lights of Xing'an Street, Lu You squatted in the shadow of the corner.

And her eyes, like a hunting leopard, stared at the drunken people...

It was not until the end of the Chou year and the beginning of the Yin year that Lu You returned to the courtyard.

After locking the door gently, Lu You turned around and saw Lu Yi standing in front of the main door.

"Second sister, you are back."

Looking at Lu Yi's indifferent look with one hand in front and the other behind his back, Lu You felt a toothache.

Why didn’t I realize before that Lu Yi is not only a dark person at heart, but also has a hobby of posing?

If this happened in modern times, he would clearly be a rising king!

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Lu You asked speechlessly.

"I can't sleep." Lu Yi said calmly, "Have you found out about the pancake incident?"

For some reason, Lu You felt angry when he heard Lu Yi's calm tone.

"Lu Yi, I'm very unhappy tonight, you'd better not mess with me!"

Lu You said to Lu Yi in a bad mood, then turned and went into his side room.

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +80, +80, +80...]

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Lu Ming was awakened by the gentle knock on the door by Widow Zhou.

After taking a small pill, Lu You felt refreshed and then he opened the door to eat.

At the dinner table, Lu You recounted what happened to him during the night following Ma Zi, and then asked the three for their opinions.

"Second sister, you just said that when that pockmarked man left Changlefang, he said he lost money, but he patted the pancake in his hand and said he didn't lose money?"

"I guess... is it possible that the pockmarked guy sold the pancakes?"

Lu Yi frowned and looked at Lu You and asked.

"I thought so before." Lu You sighed and said, "But that man said that he didn't lose anything even if he lost eight cents of silver. Adding the price of the roll itself, his capital must be about one or two taels of silver."

"Then he must sell this roll for at least one or two taels of silver!"

"But...it's so expensive, who is he going to sell it to?"

"Is it used to please the courtesan?"
