Chapter 816: The Shop Encounters Gangsters
Li started to count today's bill. The three of them went to the back kitchen to count the bill while warming themselves by the fire, leaving the four women in front to clean up.
When they were halfway through the account, they heard the sound of several men teasing the woman. Zhou Guo immediately stood up. Li said, "Don't worry, they can handle it. They don't need you."
Zhou Guo was stunned. He walked to the door and looked outside, and saw three men coming into the shop.
They were about 20 or 30 years old, looking at the women with arrogant and vulgar eyes. One of them said with ill intentions: "Sure, there are so many beautiful women in one shop, no wonder the business is so good, come on, give us the money obediently."
One of the tall and thin ones came forward and looked at the best-looking one among them. He said with a grin, "Would you like to play with me?"
Reach out your finger to touch someone's chin.
Zhou Guo's face turned dark. How could such a person come into her snack shop?
"Bah, you shameless, lowly bastard, you were born by a mother but not raised by her, your entire 18th generation of ancestors are dead, who gave you the guts to come here and act like a slut, are you trying to kill yourself?!"
"Go ahead, otherwise they will think we are easy to bully!"
The two women cursed at each other and started beating with brooms in their hands, dragging trays, bottles, and whatever they could find.
The other two didn't say a word. They pulled out two butcher knives from somewhere and started chopping at the men.
Before the quick-moving men could react, one of them was slashed on the arm and blood spurted out. He was stunned and screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
Several people were so frightened when they saw this scene. They had never seen such a scene before. One of them even peed himself in fright.
The one whose arm was chopped off ran away holding his arm, rolling and crawling, leaving a pool of blood on the ground.
Seeing this, the others behind also ran after him. One of the slower runners was hit on the head by a tray with a thud. Zhou Guo grimaced when he heard it.
The man staggered, nearly fell, and ran out as if running for his life.
All that was left in the shop were pools of blood.
After the fight, the women calmly began to clean up and wipe the blood off the floor.
Zhou Guo retracted his head and said, "Mom, have you met this before?"
Li said lightly, "The dim sum shop has good business, and the shop is always full of women. It is inevitable that some foolish people will come to the door. They just tease each other and dare not do anything else. I didn't expect that today's man not only wanted to take advantage of us, but also wanted money. I asked them to hide some sticks and knives in front of the shop. If they really meet someone, they don't have to be afraid, just pick up the knife and chop."
Zhou Guo said: "Those who escaped here are all tough guys. I originally wanted to transfer two men to the shop, but it seems that it is not necessary."
Li said hurriedly, "No, we women can manage a shop well without men. We are doing well now. Besides, it is a shop run by women. It will be inconvenient to transfer two men to it."
Zhou Guoda: "I see. I'll go to the mountain goods store and say hello. Ask them to come over and take a look from time to time. They are all pastry chefs. Don't be exhausted every day. And have to deal with such land hooligans. It's disgusting even if it's not tiring."
Li thought about it and agreed, "Okay, just send someone to watch over it."
Zhou Guo got up and left. In fact, she was still afraid of revenge from these people. She didn't know whether these people came on their own or were instigated by someone behind the scenes.
The dim sum shop had been open for only a few months and business was booming, and the snacks were not expensive. I don't know how many people's interests had been affected and how many people were jealous.
She needs someone to watch her and know who is the boss behind this.
The effect was immediate. From that day on, the thugs who used to come to the door every other day seemed to have disappeared and never came again.
Or maybe he was just scared.
Anyway, the result is good. Li smiled and said, "Being more capable is more effective than anything else. Now when people talk about our shop, they all give us a thumbs up and say that we are as capable as men."
The dim sum shop is thriving, and the other shops are not bad either.
The mountain product shops are doing well, and grain shops in various places are also doing better business.
The escort agencies in various places also gradually got business. Although the business was not much, it was better to have orders than to have no orders. With orders, the escort agencies were considered to be on the rise.
The only bad thing is the border. The war has been going on all the time and I haven't heard of it stopping.
Zhou Dacang hasn't heard any movement since he entered the camp.
Later, part of the 100,000 troops left in Huaishan were transferred northward, and Zhou Guo knew that the situation at the border was not so optimistic.
This battle lasted from autumn to winter, and slowly, when winter passed and the river began to thaw, the battle was still not over.
The only lucky thing is that no more troops came from the south. I don’t know if the remaining people in Huaishan acted as a deterrent.
Zhou Guo sighed. This year is the same as last year, except that the scale of last year's battle was probably not as big as this year's battle.
After the thaw, villages in various places began to move, and the escort agencies also started to move.
She distributed the seeds she had collected last autumn to five prefecture-level cities and placed them in shops in dozens of counties. No store sold more than two acres. People who bought the seeds had to leave their addresses, just like those who bought fertilizers, because they would come to check on the harvest in autumn.
I originally wanted to take it slow and pilot it in my own county first, but I feel that there is no need for this. They are all wheat seeds and they both come from the north, so how could the harvest be that different?
Many people had received Zhou Guo's instructions during the autumn harvest last year, and knew that Zhouji Grain Store had grain seeds for sale at this time. Given the influence of the Zhou family, everyone went to the county town to buy grain seeds from Zhouji Grain Store as soon as spring came.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that there really were some. The seeds were really good.
But after all, this is the first time to plant such seeds. Many people who are unsure only buy one acre of land. The bolder ones buy two acres, aiming to buy the most.
The Zhou family doesn’t charge for selling fertilizer, so they will definitely not be cheated. After all, if their harvest is not good, they will have no grain to repay the Zhou family.
Not even a fool would do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself.
These grain varieties were sold out within ten days of being put on the shelves.
By the time Zhou Guo rushed to each county and township with the booklet, the seeds had already been planted.
Everyone was very happy when they heard that she was the manager of the Zhou family.
"I didn't expect that after the seeds were planted, you would still come to check them out. In previous years, the government wasn't so dedicated in distributing seeds."
Some villagers who knew Zhou Guo said in surprise, "You really came. Look, I have planted all the seeds in your grain shop."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Okay, if the crops are good, I will come to harvest them this year. The price will be 10% to 20% higher than ordinary crops."
"Hey, they are all grain. If the harvest is really good, I will sell it to you, and you can sell it to others later. Anyway, the grain seeds I buy from you are cheaper than those elsewhere. Other places cost two or three hundred coins per bushel!"
