Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system
Chapter 140: Openly Robbery, Secretly Cheating
As an orphan, Lu You has fought countless times throughout his life and has never been afraid.
Isn’t it just beating someone?
Anyway, I have no parents and no ties, so even if the other party wants to extort money, I have nothing.
So Luyou is never afraid of fighting.
But now it is different in another world.
The society here is backward, the legal system is incomplete, and it is a stage for money, power and force.
Ordinary people have no human rights at all!
Although Lu You killed six soldiers and bandits personally a few days ago in order to complete the mission, he had to do so.
As I said, time travel is not about changing into a new person.
For the Chinese people in the 21st century, killing is really too far away from Luyou.
But for the powerful people in this alien world where human rights have no place, killing is just commonplace!
On the way back just now, Lu You seemed fearless, but in fact, he was nervous with every step he took.
Famous robbery is easy to hide! !
It's hard to defend against dark villains!!
She didn't care about the ten or eight servants who guarded the house.
But it’s the middle of the night, if someone really stabs me in the back, wouldn’t I just become a hedgehog?
This strange world is still too dangerous.
"We sold nearly a hundred pancakes today and earned more than thirty taels of silver, which is enough to cover our recent expenses."
"In the next few days, apart from delivering cakes to Shuxiang Restaurant, don't go out unless you have something to do."
Lu You gave instructions to the three people.
Hearing Lu You's words, Lu Yi spoke in a deep voice.
"Second sister, I have to deliver cakes to Zheng Xiezi tomorrow!"
Lu You looked up at Lu Yi, then covered his forehead with his hands.
"I was just thinking about getting home quickly and forgot about this!"
"Are you still going to give it to me?" Lu Ming asked.
"Send it!" Lu You said helplessly.
Hearing this, the three of them looked at Lu You in confusion, but heard Lu You speak slowly again.
"Shit!"
"The pancake griddle is gone, what shall we use to make pancakes?"
"Return the money Zheng Xiezi gave me tomorrow and tell him that the medicine for making pancakes has been used up."
“No need to get up early in the morning, just sleep until you wake up naturally!”
After saying that, Lu You turned and went into the side room, leaving the three people in the yard looking at each other in bewilderment.
This night was the most restless night for Lu You since he came to the other world.
Lu You understood that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
That's why she sought cooperation with Shuxiang Restaurant and sold sesame cakes under the name of Liu.
This time, she originally wanted to make the pancakes just as a snack, and adding medicine was just to attract gamblers and increase sales.
She just wanted to make something edible, but somehow it became a popular item in the room.
In fact, when Widow Zhou and Lu You explained the purpose of the cake, Lu You knew in his heart that this business would definitely be coveted by others and would definitely not last long.
This is also an important reason why Lu You has been harvesting negative emotions in a high-profile manner in the past two days.
With pancakes and her marketing skills, she can easily reap a large amount of silver and points in a short period of time.
Lu You is not greedy. In her estimation, this short-term trading will be fine as long as it can last until the end of the Autumn Examination.
No one dared to touch her until Zhao Wenbo came back.
She was confident that within a dozen days at most, she could save enough capital to take her family away from Shitang County and move to another place to become a small landlord with a little capital.
But what she didn't expect was that the person who had set his eyes on the cake had no patience at all.
Or……
They don't need to worry about anything at all!
Zheng Xiezi was just a boss of a gambling house, but he could find out Lu You's background in just half a day.
Not to mention Mr. Qiu and his group of truly wealthy and powerful gentry.
We are just ordinary farmers. If the other party wants to steal our things, why would we have any scruples?
Moreover, Lu You believed that there were more people who wanted to steal the pancake recipe than just Mr. Qiu’s family.
Lying on the bed, Lu You stared at the beams of the house, and the events of the past few days flashed through his mind one by one!
No, we must find a way out of this!
…………
On the morning of the second day, when the sun was high in the sky, Lu You opened the door again.
"Get up!"
Next to the chicken coop, Widow Zhou put down the wooden basin and came forward.
"There's white rice and scrambled eggs in the bowl on the table. It shouldn't be too cold now."
Lu You didn't hesitate and went straight to the table to eat breakfast.
During the meal, Lu You looked around, but only saw Lu Yi sitting by the window in the main room reading a book, but there was no sign of Lu Ming.
"Where's Lu Ming Ren?"
"Go out." Widow Zhou replied.
"Gone out?" Lu You was slightly stunned.
Widow Zhou poured a bowl of cold tea for Lu You.
"I helped the neighbor fetch water early in the morning, and then I helped run the tofu stall directly afterwards."
"Luyou, please excuse me. Luming is sixteen years old this year and is also of marriageable age."
"I've been paying special attention to her these past two days. Tiantian is a good girl. Luming really likes her, and they are about the same age..."
Hearing this, Lu You looked at Widow Zhou with a wry smile.
"Aunt, to be honest with you, I noticed it too."
"As for fetching water, people come to fetch water at night to soak beans at night."
"But since we moved here, Luming has been filling up the water tanks for people every morning."
"But making beans requires a lot of water. Even if we filled the water tank next door, it was still not enough. As a result, he almost carried our water tank over."
"What are you telling me... We have a well at home. If you want to drink water, just draw a bucket. There's no point in keeping a water tank!"
Widow Zhou shook her head slightly when she heard this: "It's not that I almost did it. I already carried the water tank over this morning!"
Lu You: “…………”
Does his elbow dare to bend outwards a little more?
Lu Ming is a typical love-brained person!
Seeing the expression on Lu You's face, Widow Zhou chuckled and grabbed Lu You's arm.
"Sweetheart is nice and pretty."
"I saw a matchmaker go to next door these days. As a sister, you have to help Lu Ming seize the opportunity."
"If you are embarrassed, I will help you propose to Lu Ming."
Do all women have an inexplicable longing to be a matchmaker?
Or do you just simply like the development system?
Do you feel a special sense of accomplishment when you see the people you introduced come together?
For Lu You, who has a scientific mindset, it is impossible to analyze Widow Zhou's thoughts.
"Aunt, I understand what you said. I have also thought about finding a marriage for Lu Ming, but this matter will have to be put off for a while."
"We are being targeted now, and it is definitely not just Mr. Qiu and his gang."
"We have to finish this matter before we can consider other things."
Widow Zhou immediately put away her gossiping look when she heard this: "Then have you come up with any solution?"
Lu You shook his head slightly.
"I will spread the news that the medicine has run out today and see how they react."
"Can they believe it?" Widow Zhou asked with a frown.
“They definitely don’t believe it.”
Lu You said with a grin.
"But the prescription is in my hands, so it's not up to them."
