Ding Yan sneered and clapped her hands.
Old Meng on the ground suddenly opened his eyes and begged for mercy, "Not dead, not dead, beauty have mercy, beauty have mercy."
Zhao Kai stepped forward, tapped his face with a dagger, and asked, "Did you hear what Sister Ding just said?"
"Heard... heard, I heard."
"Go back and tell everyone, if they donât follow the rules, Sister Ding will kill them."
"Okay... okay, Iâll say it when I get back, Iâll notify the others."
"Scram."
"Thank you, thank you..."
Old Meng with a beard hurriedly got up, clutching his chest and staggered back to Unit 2.
Zhao Kai turned to Ding Yan and smiled, "Sister Ding, itâs done."
Ding Yan said, "Iâll give you my crossbow later, Liang Yuan asked you to guard here, how can you do that without a long-range weapon?"
Zhao Kai scratched his head, feeling a bit envious, "If I had your skills, Sister Ding, I wouldnât need any weapons."
Ding Yan smiled, "Envious? I earned it with my life."
After she finished, she looked at Song Wen and the other two, and said, "Why arenât you staying put in Unit 1, what are you doing over there?"
The three looked at each other with a bitter face.
They thought theyâd do a small business and earn some profit.
Unexpectedly, they almost lost their lives.
The world has really changed, without strong fists, donât even think about going out.
Song Wenâs mouth twisted bitterly, and she had no choice but to confess, "We... we wanted to go out and trade some supplies, but didnât expect..."
Saying this, she had to honestly admit their middleman plan.
Hu Weimin and Liu Danian, seeing that there was no way to hide it, could only truthfully reveal their bun-selling plan.
After hearing it, Ding Yan was greatly surprised.
She looked up and down at the three, clicked her tongue in disbelief, "You guys really have some brains, haha, wait until Liang Yuan comes back, letâs see how he handles it. Right, let me see your buns."
Hu Weimin didnât dare not to take them out, and immediately produced a bun.
Ding Yan picked up the bun and took a bite, her eyes lit up instantly.
"Wow, itâs really delicious, much better than instant noodles."
She finished the bun in a few bites, then said, "How many more do you have?"
Hu Weimin smiled wryly, not daring to deceive, "There are four left."
"Well, give me all these buns, I wonât take advantage of you, I wonât use fish to trade, Iâll use flour."
"Donât worry, I wonât force you. State your price, for four buns, how much flour?"
Her words stunned Hu Weimin.
Apparently, he didnât expect that someone as strong as Ding Yan would not take the buns for free, but instead exchange them for flour.
For a moment, he even suspected that Ding Yan was testing him.
He panicked and said, "No, no, if you like them, you can have them..."
Ding Yan frowned and said sharply, "What do you mean? Do you think Iâm like those people under Liu Erlong? I said I wonât take your buns for free, and I wonât. Wait!"
She immediately turned and went back to 3202.
Hu Weimin panicked and quickly looked at Zhao Kai, "Brother Zhao, look, what... what did I do wrong?"
Zhao Kai glanced at him and said, "You treated Sister Ding like those bandits under Liu Erlong, of course sheâs unhappy. Weâre not like Liu Erlong and his gang, Brother Liang killed Liu Erlong, not to rob everyone."
"What we want is a stable and safe environment and not to see those beastly acts anymore."
"Stop treating us like Liu Erlongâs gang. Later, do whatever Sister Ding tells you."
Hu Weimin stood there in a daze. Since the end of the world, he had witnessed too many acts of bullying.
Liu Erlongâs gang was notorious for their evil deeds. He had seen harmless security guards turn into savage beasts, and friendly property managers become robbers and murderers.
At that time, he realized the world had changed. Facing these people, he could either resist, obediently comply, or hide away.
He didnât dare to resist, nor did he want to comply and join these beasts. So, he could only hide far away.
But today, someone who could easily dominate him told him that they wanted to maintain order and stability.
This really surprised him, and also made him feel a bit excited.
"Liang and his group seem... really different."
While he was thinking, Ding Yan came out of the room again, with a small bag of flour in hand, "Liang Yuan trades with you for five fish for a cup of flour, I donât know how much flour one bun is worth, but I know you traded four cups of flour with Liang Yuan."
"Hereâs the amount for eight cups of flour, see how many buns theyâre worth."
Saying this, she directly handed the flour to Hu Weimin.
Hu Weimin shuddered with excitement!
Four cups of flour could make more than thirty buns.
This is eight cups of flour, which could make more than sixty buns?
Such a good person!
Miss Ding really is a good person.
Feeling moved, he quickly opened his bag, "Miss Ding, I have, I have a total of five buns here, Old Liu, Old Liu!"
Liu Danian also realized and quickly took out the buns from his pocket, "Miss Ding, I also have five buns, weâll give them all to you."
Ding Yan frowned, "Eight cups of flour, for ten buns?"
Hu Weimin quickly explained, "No, actually, we made more than thirty buns with the four cups of flour."
Ding Yan was surprised, "Can you make that many?"
Hu Weimin said embarrassedly, "We added some leavening agent."
Ding Yan understood, that stuff is great for making dough rise. She did not refuse, took the ten buns, and said, "Okay, ten buns it is then, as long as youâre not at a loss."
"Xiaozhao, tell Liang Yuan tonight, weâll have buns together."
"And you all, if thereâs any problem, come directly to me. If anyone dares to rob you again, Iâll stand up for you."
Ding Yan said to Hu Weimin and a few others, and then turned around and went back into the room.
Soon, they heard Granny Li, Cai Yao, Wu Qian, and others laughing happily.
Zhao Kai smiled, looked at the few of them, and said, "See, Sister Ding is not a bad person, none of us are. Alright, go about your business."
Hu Weimin and Liu Danian exchanged glances, joyfully thanked him, and quickly went home to get their buns.
With Ding Yanâs words, they felt emboldened and decided to go out again.
After all, buns canât last overnight, theyâre hard to keep.
Swapping them for live fish is still a better choice.
Among them, only Song Wen felt dejected, as she still hadnât traded any snacks.
