The first step to a rich country is to get rich first and then get richer

"Uncles, this matter is not trivial. We still have to go back and discuss it before making a decision."

After hearing what Lan Ning said, the gangsters were not worried at all. No matter how they tried, they had to agree in the end. They were not afraid that they would run away, because they would be found no matter where they ran.

"Hehe, we brothers are not unreasonable people. We can give you two days to think about it. We will come back to you in two days."

After saying that, he kicked the backpack hard, and instantly all the steaming stewed food was scattered on the ground.

“Ahhh, our braised food.”

Grandma Lan and Meng Anran saw that the braised food they had worked so hard to make during the day was kicked over, and they were so distressed that they wanted to rush over. Fortunately, Chen Tian, ​​who was standing by, was quick to stop them.

Lan Ning stood there, looking at the stewed food that had been kicked over. He could no longer maintain the smile on his face and clenched his hands into fists.

Seeing that these old guys and young guys felt sorry for the braised food they had, but were too scared to step forward to argue, the thugs left contentedly.

After they left, the three of them broke free from Chen Tian's hands and picked up the braised food on the ground.

Lan Ning stood there for a long time, wondering what she was thinking.

"Girl Lan."

A call brought Lan Ning back to his senses.

"Sorry, I……"

"It's okay, Uncle Chen, I don't blame you."

How could we blame Uncle Chen? He wasn't a particularly powerful person in the town. He was just a pork seller. He might know a lot of people, but he couldn't afford to offend anyone.

"We don't need these anymore, let's go back."

The three people who were picking up the chicken feet, chicken heads and pig's feet on the ground with great pain seemed not to hear Lan Ning's words, and were still busy picking up the scattered braised food.

"I said, let's go back."

The voice was still very sweet, but there was a hint of coldness in it.

Only after hearing Lan Ning's words did they stop.

Yes, these things cannot be kept, and even if you pick them up you can’t eat them, what a pity.

"Let's go back."

Grandma Lan was the first to stand up and wiped her hands on the hem of her clothes. After going through so many things, she was the most open-minded at this moment.

"Go back. Grandma will find a way to support you guys until you grow up. Don't do business anymore. This is something that will happen when you do business."

I thought what happened when the village did collective business before would never happen again, but I didn't expect it to happen again after so many days.

“Grandma, I’ll figure out the rest, let’s go back first.

Uncle Chen, do you know who those hooligans are?"

Chen Tian heard Lan Ning asking him, and in order to make it up to her, he quickly told her everything he knew.

"Yes, they are the biggest gangsters in this town. Many people don't dare to mess with them. Behind these people stands the owner of the largest cloth shop in this town. The owner's sister married to the capital and became the concubine of Chao San Lang."

The conversation stopped here. The officials in the capital did not dare to discuss it casually in private. Not to mention the officials in the capital, even the county magistrate in their county, ordinary people like them did not dare to discuss it casually.

Haha, one rat shit spoils the whole barrel.

She just didn't believe it, so she wanted to pour out the soup so that it wouldn't ferment and become smelly here.

"I see. Thank you, Uncle Chen."

When they went out of the city, Old Man Lan was still a little surprised. How come they sold out so quickly today? It had only been a short while since they went in.

"Sister Lan, your business is so good today. It's sold out so quickly. Maybe those people will rush to your house to make reservations in the future."

What Old Man Lan said sounded nice, but it made the others feel sad.

They even made reservations at home, but it was only a few days and they couldn't even keep their stall.

No one answered, and Old Man Lan didn't know what to say. Everyone was exceptionally silent along the way.

From their silence, Old Man Lan, a young old man in the village, sensed something was wrong. Without asking any questions, he parked the ox cart in front of their house.

"Thank you, Grandpa Lan. This is today's fare."

Old Man Lan only took ten cents.

"It's still early, I can still go to the county town again, and I'll just charge ten cents."

Lan Ning did not refuse and threw all ten cents on the ox cart when Grandpa Lan drove away.

"We still have to collect enough money, thank you Grandpa Lan."

The voice is weak.

"Hey, you little girl, that's enough, I'm leaving now."

Because of this incident, Grandma Lan and the other two were in a bad mood the whole day, and no matter how Lan Ning tried to ease the atmosphere, it was useless.

In fact, she was also very worried. Why were they targeted by these unreasonable hooligans? What should she do now? She was definitely unwilling to hand over the formula honestly. If she handed over the formula, if they did other business, someone would definitely target them again.

So this time she had to think of a permanent solution so that other people would think about the consequences when they bullied them in the future.

But is there any permanent solution?

Grandma Lan is a lonely person who loses her memory during the day and doesn't even know who she is.

Meng Anran had already escaped, so how could she expect anyone to help her?

It soon got dark. Lan Ning was still sitting on the doorstep in a daze. His small figure looked particularly pitiful in the darkness.

After a long time, Lan Ning stood up. She had an idea of ​​a risky plan. Regardless of success or failure, she decided to give it a try.

At night, when everyone was asleep, two small figures quietly opened the door and left without anyone noticing.

Lan Ning was dressed warmly and hugged Dabai's neck tightly, while Dabai ran towards the county town recklessly.

The night wind blew towards her face, making Lan Ning have difficulty breathing.

"Da, Dabai, slow down, I can't breathe."

【You can bury your head in my fur. 】

If you bury your head in its fur, won't its soft fur get into your nose and make you sneeze constantly?

But after thinking about it, between shortness of breath and sneezing, she chose the latter.

As soon as Lan Ning buried his head in Dabai's fur, he felt a burst of heat coming towards his face. Wow, it was so comfortable. He didn't feel cold at all.

"Dabai, it's so cold at night, but you're still running so fast. Don't you feel cold? Your body is so warm."

[I am the king of the forest wolves, how could I be afraid of the cold? ]

Although it was Dabai's inner voice, one could hear that Dabai's tone was particularly proud.

"Then you, the wolf king, went down the mountain without permission and didn't take care of your little brothers in the forest. Aren't you afraid that they will cause chaos?"

Dabai rolled his eyes and ignored the idiotic question from the human cub.

Dabai's speed was much faster than the ox cart, and soon they arrived at the county town.

Although charging a fee to enter the county town is not very reasonable, it is also a small way for the county magistrate to manage the county town.

If there is a charge for entering the city, then the people entering the city can be strictly controlled, and not just anyone of any social class can enter.

Although the money collected was not much, this method effectively controlled the number of beggars in the city. Moreover, at night, the beggars in the city would be driven out of the city and could only enter at dawn.
