"Selling jelly, selling jelly, the first batch of new jelly, buy first and try first!"

"Selling jelly, a new type of jelly with a soft and chewy texture. Don't miss it if you're passing by!"

Sanji carried the jelly into the city and just after he shouted twice while walking through the streets, he was stopped by some people who were gossiping at a tea stall.

"Hey young man, what's that new kind of jelly? Let's try it. If it tastes good, we'll buy it!"

Sanji was also quick to react. He put down the backpack behind him and took out a bowl from it. He then took off the pottery jar hanging on his body, poured the pre-mixed jelly into the bowl, and handed it over. "Ladies and gentlemen, please try it. This is the new jelly we made yesterday."

"The market is currently in short supply. Would you like to buy a few pieces to try?"

A few people were originally talking about the gossip of the Wang family, but when they saw the orange jelly in the bowl, their attention was really diverted.

Who in the city doesn't know about jelly these days? From restaurants and eateries to roadside stalls, they all stock some.

But today, it was the first time for several of them to see this orange-yellow jelly.

A young man picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. It was just as cool, smooth and delicious.

The person who tasted it first said, "The taste is indeed more delicate!"

The other person nodded and said, "I prefer the green jelly, it's more chewy."

Upon hearing this, Sanji started to sell it vigorously, saying, "I have both types of jelly here, and they're the same price. Would you like to buy some?"

The young customer waved his hand and said, "Then give me one each, and I'll help you mix it." After that, he slapped six coins on the table.

Sanji happily accepted the money, asked the tea stall owner for two bowls, and started mixing the jelly.

Several people continued the previous topic, "If you ask me, a slave would bully his master, and the Second Master of the Wang family doesn't care about worldly things, then the people below him will just pretend to obey!"

"I heard that it was the eldest daughter of the Wang family who led the charge to confiscate the property yesterday. It's a pity that the old man of the Wang family died young, otherwise his granddaughter wouldn't have been able to show up in public!"

"However, I still admire Master Wang's courage. He didn't just release the slaves, but instead handed them over to the county government. Is he really not afraid that the county magistrate will uncover the Wang family's secrets?"

"Our county magistrate is not one to tolerate any sand in his eyes!"

"I think what Mr. Wang did was very wise. At least he made his position clear, didn't he? At least Mr. Wang was unaware of the loan!"

This is indeed true, and several people nodded in agreement.

Sanji watched the skill of cutting jelly and also heard some gossip.

He couldn't bear to disturb the gossip of the few people, so after putting down the mixed jelly, he prepared to leave with the food.

Just as I picked up my backpack and was about to leave, the stall owner asked me to step aside and asked, "How much of your Xinshi jelly do you have left? Can you give it all to me?"

Sanji scratched his head and said, "Of course, I can, but I won't lower the price of this jelly. Ten yuan and thirty coins!"

He was given thirty pieces of jelly in total, and since he was not in a hurry, he thought he would be able to sell them all by going from street to street.

He didn't make much money, so Sanji didn't want to sell it at a lower price.

The stall owner thought that this jelly is very popular now. If he takes out this new jelly, it will definitely attract a wave of customers.

He was not just thinking about making money by selling jelly, he immediately bought all the pea jelly.

Similarly, when the people in the city heard about Xinshi jelly, most of them were willing to buy it and try it.

If you meet a smart stall owner, he will order all the jelly on the spot.

The happy villagers were full of energy. After selling all the jelly, they hurried back, wondering if they could carry more to sell in the city.

Song Zhi did not go anywhere that day and stayed at home drinking Forsythia tea.

Tomorrow is the agreed delivery deadline, and Song Zhi puts the prepared tea into a ceramic jar and seals it.

When she finished packing and came out of the room, she heard her uncles and aunts who had returned from selling things in the city gathered together and talked about gossip about the Wang family.

Song Zhi stopped and listened to the follow-up of the matter.

"You went into town to sell jelly today. Did you hear the gossip people were talking about?"

"I heard it, I heard it. Wasn't this incident a big deal in the city yesterday?"

The man who was grinding beans nearby listened to these people talking like they were playing charades, and his curiosity was aroused. "Hey, what exciting things are you talking about? Tell us about it!"

Everyone was talking at once, one after another, vividly describing what happened yesterday when Miss Wang and the guards raided the house.

When talking about the exciting parts, some villagers even gestured excitedly, as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes.

"What a pity! The shopkeeper got away!"

"Hey, haven't we found Shopkeeper Wang yet? I heard the Wang family has announced that anyone who can provide clues leading to the capture of this person will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver!"

"Oh, what's the big deal? A notice was posted outside the city this morning. The county magistrate ordered the entire county to arrest this man!"

One villager cursed: "This disaster will last for thousands of years!"

At this time, Shopkeeper Wang, who was being scolded as a nuisance, sneezed and was looking at Chen Xiangwen, whose face was gloomy, with a look of trepidation on his face.

"I'm just asking how you do things. Why did you let that little girl know you were lending money at high interest?"

"Because of your negligence, I was almost implicated by you, and my younger sister even lost half of her housekeeping rights."

"Just tell me whether you deserve to die!" Chen Xiangwen said fiercely.

Shopkeeper Wang knew that the other party had stopped threatening him. He fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy. "Master, Master, please give me one more chance, please give me one more chance."

Chen Xiangwen looked expressionlessly at Shopkeeper Wang, who was thrashing his head on the ground, and interrupted impatiently, "Give you another chance?"

"The whole county is looking for you now. What use is there for me to have you?"

Shopkeeper Wang knew that if he couldn't tell it now, what use would he be and his uncle would really kill him.

"Uncle, I can go to the border, I can go to Yuncheng. I have also come into contact with some caravans in the past two years. I can contact them to go to Yuncheng. I can help Second Master."

After hearing what he said, Chen Xiangwen's gloomy expression finally brightened a little.

He did not respond harshly, but asked, "Where is your account book?"

Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Uncle. I realized something was wrong and I was ruined on the way here!"

Chen Xiangwen nodded. "The situation has been tense lately. You should stay here for the next few days and don't go out. Once you're through this storm, I'll take you to the border!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I will follow my uncle's instructions in everything!" Shopkeeper Wang let out a long sigh and responded hurriedly.

When the frail-faced Chen Da escorted his master to the door, Chen Xiangwen coldly ordered, "Keep a close eye on him! Don't let him get away!"

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely keep him under guard!"

"But there's one thing I don't understand. After this storm is over, do you really want to send it to the Second Master?"

Chen Xiangwen had a cold look on his face. "Such an idiot, unaware of his own stupidity, almost got me exposed in front of everyone!"

He gestured directly at his neck and said coldly, "Do it more cleanly!"

Mr. Chen agreed and bowed in agreement.
