On this day, Zhang Tiegen's roasted sweet potato business was unexpectedly booming.
However, Tiedan's business was still better. The cart of pumpkins he brought in in the morning was sold out by noon. In the afternoon, he went back to Fenghuang Village and brought another cart over, but it was sold out again.
As the sun sets, the sky takes on a grayish-orange hue, but it cannot hide the bright smiles on the faces of Zhang Tiegen and Tiedan.
"Here, there are only the last two roasted sweet potatoes left." Zhang Tiegen smiled, picked up one and threw it to Tiedan, "First, we should satisfy our stomach, and then go home for dinner! Business is so good today, let's buy some meat to go back and drink with."
"I think this idea will work!" Tie Dan said with a cheerful smile, and then ate the roasted sweet potatoes. The taste was really sweet. "It's delicious, Tie Gen. Your skill in roasting sweet potatoes is getting better and better."
"
"That's right, we have the talent to be a farmer!" Zhang Tiegen laughed and started eating.
Just when the two of them were halfway through eating their roasted sweet potatoes, four people wandered over by the roadside.
Tiedan immediately stopped eating the roasted sweet potatoes, looked straight at the four people, and said to Zhang Tiegen warily: "Tiegen, these four guys are all gangsters, and they must have no good intentions!"
Zhang Tiegen nodded.
He had actually noticed these four people for a long time. Since noon today, they have been sneaking around in the alley and looking this way.
Among the four gangsters, one had red hair, the other had a ponytail, and the other two had crew cuts. They were all arrogant, and you could tell at a glance that they were not good people.
"Tie Dan, do you know any of our brothers?" Huang Mao stepped forward and said to Tiedan. "I am from Huangshui Village."
Huangshui Village is only a few kilometers away from Fenghuang Village, and they are both in Wulong Town. However, Huangshui Village is large and is an administrative village, while Fenghuang Village is small and is just a natural village.
Tiedan turned his head away, unwilling to pay attention to these people.
Huang Mao was the little leader of these people, and even though Tiedan ignored him, he immediately got angry.
Of course he didn't bring people here to fight against Tiedan's parents. He saw that Tiedan's business was doing well and wanted to collect protection money!
However, Tiedan ignored him, which hurt his self-esteem.
"Damn it, your mother, our boss is asking you a question, are you mute?" When the pony-tailed man saw that this big, stupid-looking farmer actually dared to offend his boss, he immediately became aggressive and said,
I want to step forward and hit the iron egg with a posture.
"Stop! How did I teach you? We are all fellow villagers. We cannot do anything casually. We are all civilized people. We should be friendly and make money. You must learn more in the future!" Huang Mao grabbed the ponytail man and said.
Liu busy pretending to be a civilized person, isn't this more fake than a female star pretending to be a virgin? Zhang Tiegen almost spit out the mouthful of sweet potatoes he had not yet swallowed.
"Yes, the boss is still insightful." The pony-tailed man quickly stepped away and smiled flatteringly at Huang Mao.
"Tiedan, we were alumni of the same middle school we went to back then! I have no other meaning today. This is my yellow-haired territory, and I am covering it all. Your business is getting more and more prosperous now, and you will definitely have no money.
Earn less. Having more money is a good thing, but it also makes people jealous, but it’s okay, with us protecting you, no one will dare to provoke you. However, we always have to eat and drink, how about you sponsor some funds for my brothers? "
Huang Mao said with a smile.
When Tiedan saw that Huangmao was indeed here to ask for money, and he was not someone to be trifled with, he immediately wanted to curse, but was stopped by Zhang Tiegen.
Zhang Tiegen stepped forward and said calmly: "Go ahead and do what you have to do. Get out of the way. We are closing the stall."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Huang Mao was angry.
Because Tie Dan has the best business, he is strong and looks much more powerful than this guy who buys roasted sweet potatoes. Therefore, Huang Mao originally planned to take Tie Dan first, and when the time comes, the guy who buys roasted sweet potatoes will definitely have to obey him.
Take the initiative to pay.
However, what Huang Mao didn't expect was that this kid who roasted sweet potatoes was actually more arrogant than Tiedan!
When Huang Mao saw that Zhang Tiegen was really starting to clean up the stall, he was even more furious. He stepped forward and kicked a few briquettes used for roasting sweet potatoes to pieces.
"What do you want to do, you bastard? Fight?" Tiedan was unhappy and cursed.
"From today on, you must give me half of your daily income! Otherwise we will be polite today." Huang Mao said angrily.
"Hand over your mother!" Zhang Tiegen yelled unbearably. "Damn it, get out of here right now. I'm here to collect protection money. I haven't collected protection money from you yet!"
The four gangsters didn't expect the boy who was roasting sweet potatoes to be so loud, and they were all shocked.
And a guy who sells baked sweet potatoes actually wants to imitate the underworld and collect his own protection fee? Damn, is this the rhythm of trying to get the best of everyone?
When Huang Mao saw that Zhang Tiegen had been tit for tat with him, he felt humiliated in front of his subordinates and said viciously: "Boy, do you know who I am?"
Zhang Tiegen said calmly: "I know, there are bastards who are born without mothers, how can I tell you to get out?!"
Huang Mao suddenly became furious and shouted: "Brothers, smash it!"
Huang Mao said, stepping forward to push Zhang Tiegen's sweet potato roasting stove.
However, as soon as Huang Mao stretched out his hand, a big hand appeared instantly and grabbed his wrist tightly, as powerful as a pliers.
"Ouch!" Huang Mao screamed in pain, his eyes blurred, and Zhang Tiegen's fist had already hit him.
Then, Huang Maoda fell to the ground holding his nose, nosebleeds flowing out along the seams of his hands!
The other three gangsters were stunned by Zhang Tiegen's sharp attack and felt a little stupid for a moment.
However, these people often fight and fight, and someone immediately shouted: "Everyone, chop this guy! Cut him!"
The three of them each took out a folding knife from their waistbands and rushed towards Zhang Tiegen together.
Zhang Tiegen was certainly not afraid of a few folding knives, but he was afraid that Tiedan would be injured, so he pushed Tiedan far away and said, "Don't come over here, leave it to me!"
I saw Zhang Tiegen taking the initiative to meet the ponytail man.
The pony-tailed man originally thought that when faced with three knives, the boy selling roasted sweet potatoes would be so frightened that he would immediately run away. Unexpectedly, he actually rushed over without fear of death!
The man with the ponytail immediately became cruel, this is your kid looking for death, stab him!
The knife in his hand thrust forward, intending to stab Zhang Tiegen.
Zhang Tiegen, on the other hand, dodged and was suddenly behind the ponytail man.
"I'm fucking your mother for letting you play with knives!" Zhang Tiegen grabbed the ponytail and swept his legs.
With a snap, the ponytail man fell backwards to the ground.
Zhang Tiegen showed a trace of murderous intent on his face. He stepped forward and stepped on the ponytail man's hand. With a little force, he broke the ponytail man's wrist with a click. Of course, he could no longer hold the folding knife in his hand.
"Oh..." The ponytail man screamed, "My hand..."
In fact, Zhang Tiegen not only learned the killer's killing skills, he also learned the ancient Chinese martial art Qigong, but he rarely had the opportunity to use it and could not use it against ordinary people.
Therefore, if he hadn't deliberately shown mercy, the pony-tailed man would have been killed by him with one move, which is a good thing from his ancestors!
