C6 Here Comes the Blackmailer

After Mrs. Xu tasted it, she was full of praise for it, which instantly boosted Xu Yao's confidence.

When Mrs. Xu finished her work and the two of them went back together, Xu Yao told her about her plans on the way back. Mrs. Xu was a little hesitant. After all, she did not know if she could sell it or not, so Xu Yao brainwashed her and finally made her nod in agreement.

Next up was to purchase equipment, large pots of water to maintain the temperature, as well as insulating blankets, a few cups of water, as well as a bucket and a ladle.

It was not easy to persuade Mrs. Xu not to work the next day to sell with her. The two of them set off early the next morning.

After considering their schedule, the two of them chose to go to the town to sell. They found a suitable place to set up their stalls. There was a wooden board on the square basket basket and it became a table. Xu Yao placed the cups one by one and spread the peppermint leaves. She sprinkled the crushed sugar and almost someone came to add water.

However, after setting up the place for the whole morning, she also shouted for the whole morning. No one cared about her.

"Yao'er, I think we should go back. No one will come to buy it." Mrs. Xu said hesitantly.

Xu Yao's face was also full of worry. She had overestimated the interest of the people in this world in new things.

"Mother, let me try again." She stubbornly shook her head and gave up just like that. She was still unwilling, so she started to shout at the top of her lungs, "Sprite Sprite. It's refreshing and heats off the heat. It's cool and cool for a summer. Don't miss it when you pass by!"

Perhaps it was because the Imperial Sky did not let down those who wanted to do it, and when her voice was about to emit smoke, she simply made herself a cup to drink. Finally, someone came forward to inquire.

She sniffed the fragrance in her cup with skepticism. Only then did these people realize that just by smelling it, they felt their noses turn cold.

It was not easy to attract a few people to watch. Xu Yao naturally wanted to keep them even if she had to risk her life, so she kept introducing them the good benefits of drinking this. Moreover, a cup of wine was worth a copper coin. It was more cost-effective than drinking tea. Some people began to be eager.

However, at this moment, a voice came from outside the small encirclement.

"Oh? Is it really that good? " Since that's the case, then the few of us will have a good taste. "

Everyone looked over and saw a few young masters in plain long robes with folding fans in their hands standing behind them. From the moment Xu Yao saw them, four words appeared in Xu Yao's mind: Refined scum!

Xu Yao was very familiar with the person in the lead. He was Mrs. Zhang's scholar son, Zhang Haoyun.

From the moment she saw him, Xu Yao's expression could not help but change. How could she forget that Zhang Haoyun was studying in town and preparing for the imperial examinations?

He came here most likely because he heard the chief sister-in-law's cries and came to find trouble with him!

But the people who came were all guests. They did not hit smiling people. Xu Yao clearly knew that he did not come with good intentions, but she could not chase him away for no reason. After all, there were so many good friends watching, so she could only smile innocently.

"Big brother, do you want to try it? A copper coin and a cup. Oh!"

Slap!

Five copper coins slammed onto the wooden board!

Xu Yao's eyes jumped and her smile became even brighter, "Big brother hit so hard that I thought he took out a few taels of silver. It turned out to be five copper coins!"

"Puah!" The number of people gathered gradually increased and when they heard Xu Yao's words, there were immediately people who could not help but laugh.

Holding five copper coins to act like a lord was not something an ordinary person could pretend to be.

Zhang Haoyun's face changed and turned slightly red, "You little girl, what are you talking about?"

Xu Yao blinked her eyes and looked at him innocently, "Am I wrong? Big brother, you only took out five copper coins!"

The surrounding people's expressions became even more excited.

Zhang Haoyun's expression also became more and more ugly. In the end, he closed the folding fan in his hand, "Big brother, you only took out five copper coins!" Little girl, why do you talk so much? Hurry up and give us five cups!"

"Big brothers, please wait a moment. Little girl will fight for you now!"

Xu Yao was not convinced and snorted in her heart. Her hands and feet quickly filled five cups of "Sprite.

A few peppermint leaves floated in the crystal clear water. At this time, the sun was high. The pedestrians could not help but feel thirsty when they saw this.

The people behind Zhang Haoyun were about to start moving when he suddenly held a folding fan in front of them. "Don't rush. Let me give you a taste of what this thing is. "What if something goes wrong? After all, I was the one who waited for you all to come. I will not hesitate to test it out for you all. "

"Brother Haoyun is always so warmhearted. Since that's the case, I will leave it to Brother Haoyun first!" The four people behind him smiled and withdrew their hands.

Xu Yao rolled her eyes when she heard that. Wasn't it tiring for them to talk like that? However, she did not know why, but when she heard Zhang Haoyun say that, she had an ominous feeling in her heart.

However, she could not do anything. She could only watch Zhang Haoyun drink a glass of Sprite in one gulp and wipe the corner of his mouth with his sleeves. Everyone looked at him with anticipation, waiting for him to give his evaluation.

"The taste is very ordinary..." Zhang Haoyun said leisurely, preparing to put the glass back.

Everyone immediately revealed a disappointed expression. But in the next moment, everyone's expression changed. They looked at Zhang Haoyun in shock. Some of them couldn't help but exclaim.

Zhang Haoyun, who was putting the cup, suddenly changed his facial expression. Pain began to appear on his face. As soon as the cup touched the edge of the wooden board, it fell down with a bang, and immediately broke into pieces. The broken pieces splashed all over the floor.

Zhang Haoyun, on the other hand, slowly fell down with one hand covering his stomach. In an instant, his face had turned red. The veins on his forehead were faintly visible, as if he was suffering a great pain.

"Brother Haoyun!" The "cultured scums" behind him all cried out in unison, and quickly went forward to support him.

"Brother Haoyun, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Haoyun weakly held his companion's hand and pointed at Xu Yao and her daughter. "It's them. Their stomachs... hurt..."

One of them immediately stood up when he heard her. He clenched his fists in anger and glared at Xu Yao and her daughter. "What the hell are you doing? Why does Brother Haoyun's stomach hurt when he drinks it?"

"That's right. What kind of harmful thing is this? How dare you take it out and sell it?! We are scholars, and even we want to harm it. We are truly vicious!"

"Fortunately, we tried for the common people. Otherwise, Brother Haoyun would not be the only one to fall!"

Zhang Haoyun was lying on the ground, looking like he was going to die. There were also the few cultured scum who were making a big fuss and the civilians who started to retreat with vigilance in their eyes. Xu Yao suddenly understood.

She understood now. It turned out that they did not know that they were here to mess up her stall and wanted to blackmail her. They wanted to completely ruin their reputation and let their career, which had just started, die just like that!
