Chapter 7 Caravan
Chapter 7 Caravan
Ziyu is not interested in this kind of small bag, because there are more than twenty items in her collection. They are inlaid with gold and jade and can be called a luxurious small bag.
The fragrant boss lady saw everything happening on the street. The clothes of the brother and sister looked ordinary, but they were not something ordinary people could afford.
I don't care about the world's sorrow. At first glance, the elder brother who is not convinced of discipline is based on the principle of harmony with the money, and the boss personally stepped forward to say hello.
“Young master, I don’t know which bag you like. Our store has a variety of styles to choose from. If you are not satisfied, you can also customize it.”
"The boss lady is beautiful and good at business. She is a leader among women!" The person who wanted to tease her suddenly changed the subject.
dedulation! The young master is really good at talking, and his words make the slave family so excited’
The old lady boss's face was covered with a silk kerchief, and she smiled shyly, which scared Ziyu and immediately made her serious.
…
…
Out of consideration for the little girl’s cleverness, Manager Wang kindly reminded her.
Pork bones, chicken, and pig's feet are washed and chopped into pieces to remove the blood foam, then stewed in a large pot with green onion, ginger, and white wine until the meat is tender, then put into a log barrel to form aspic jelly.
"Fifteen taels of silver each. The skins are all sold from the northern border. They are absolutely good."
Ziyu was very satisfied with the first-layer cowhide bucket-shaped backpack. She didn’t expect that being at the forefront of fashion is not just for modern people.
Coincidentally, the caravan stayed at the Tornado Inn opposite the Dazhong Inn.
The steward returned the household registration to Ziyu, looked at the little one who was no taller than his legs, and said.
It is a family scandal and there is nothing to cover up.
After staying at the Dazhong Inn for ten days, Ziyu finally found out that a caravan heading south would leave the next day.
Ziyu said frankly to everyone in the lobby that she knew some of the rules of the caravan from what she had learned over the past few days.
“It’s not a secret, okay!
“Haha, she is a clever little girl!
There is a middle-aged man in the middle of the lobby, his face is weathered but gentle, and his eyes are clear.
By the way, I would like to remind you, prepare more dry food, charcoal, and thick clothes on the way, and go! "
This time Yundu announced that they were not allowed to take goods out of the city. They returned empty-handed and could only find more supplies on the road.
The next day, Ziyu began to go in and out to purchase charcoal, grain, oil and salt, eggs, dried meat, dried vegetables, snacks, and ordinary clothes to keep out the cold.
During this period, she carefully studied the map of Baiyun Kingdom and prepared to leave the northern boundary and head to Jiangfu Plain before heavy snow blocked the road.
After the city gate is opened the day after tomorrow, gather outside the city. Don’t wait if it’s late! Pay money when you leave. "
You need to bring your own vehicle and can only follow the caravan. The cost is one hundred taels.
“Why do you want to go south with us? Where did your news come from?”
Ziyu handed over the new household registration and asked the steward to check it carefully.
The clerk took out the most common barrel-shaped backpack from the bottom of the cabinet. It was big enough to hold half a purple bag.
The corner of the landlady's mouth twitched. She didn't expect that the young master was so cruel and would squeeze even a child who couldn't walk steadily.
“My surname is Wang, and I am the leader of the caravan.
She rented a large stove from the kitchen, laid a large stone in the house, opened the window and burned charcoal to fry rice and noodles.
In the end, Ziyu spent eighty taels of silver to buy back six bags. The big and small paper bags the brother and sister were carrying were stuffed into the big backpack, and the remaining bags were tied to large furoshiki and carried on their shoulders.
Follow the caravan south to Jiangfu. You will be responsible for your own food and accommodation along the way. You are also responsible for your own safety. All actions must be obeyed.
The steward did not answer Ziyu's question directly, but looked directly into her big eyes and frowned slightly.
That look looks like a peddler’s pawn!
…
Manager Wang, who knew countless people, naturally accepted the young brother and sister. When doing business, he asked for companions, most of whom were scattered guests.
“Thank you, steward!” The little Zi Luo also held up her hands and thanked her.
I can only go south to the ancestors, and I have to find a caravan to follow the road conditions. "
Along the way, I saw women opening shops and doing business from time to time, and unmarried women walking on the street did not have veils or scarves to cover their faces.
The space is a piece of Gobi Desert, which requires a lot of water and fertile soil to transform.
Why is she so open-minded when I meet her?
“I want a backpack that can carry a lot of things. It should be durable, waterproof, and preferably made of cowhide.”
Ziyu takes Ziluo shopping every day, and always brings back something. The carriage has also been simply renovated.
Ziyu smiled lightly and walked through the crowd of men generously, standing in front of the middle-aged man and cupping her hands. "Good job, my brother and sister want to go south with the caravan. Is it convenient?"
“Thank you, steward, for reminding me!”
“Let him in!”
I stayed at the inn opposite for ten days, waiting for a caravan to leave with me going south.
“Thank you, King, for taking care of things. You must be on time!” Ziyu knew that the matter was done, so she cupped her hands and thanked her.
“Hehe, the young master is talking about the big bags used by merchants, and we also have them in our store.”
his caravan has high demands, and most people will give up if they can't afford the large sum of money.
Jiangfu Plain is the most prosperous place in Baiyun Country. It is rich in products and is more convenient to collect materials.
Isn’t it said that ancient people were very reserved?
Cabbage, radishes, mule fodder, bean cakes, etc. are all purchased.
The folk customs of Baiyun Country are open and open, far less rigid and conservative than those in movies and TV series. Maybe it is a different time and space, and the trajectories of experiences are different.
There are too many poor people in the world. All he can do is give a few reminders, and there is nothing else he can do to help.
The necessary Jinchuang medicine, Jingfeng pills, hawthorn, and water bladders, and there are no shortage of things on the surface.
“I want four, and two bags that are suitable for children to carry, not too fancy.” Ziyu pursed her lips at Ziluo, who was leaning against her legs.
Of course, I also took the opportunity to smuggle two large pots into the space for storage. Even if I was in a hurry, I wouldn't lose money to the two of them.
My father and mother passed away one after another, so my brother and sister have been living under the hands of our uncle and aunt, and it is difficult to live a life of dependence on others.
When the brother and sister, wearing the same blue cotton robes, appeared at the door of the inn hand in hand, a group of men having dinner in the lobby looked at the two.
Jiangfu Plain is adjacent to Shangdu Prefecture, and the port there has ships leading to overseas.
The mixed noodles with oil and salt were so fragrant that Ziluo's mouth watered, and she stayed in front of the stove without moving.
“Shopkeeper, I’m staying at the inn across the street, and I’m here to discuss matters with the leader of the caravan.”
The landlady suppressed her smile, but it was easy to see how happily she was smiling from the pearl hairpin swinging on her head, so Ziyu could only pretend not to see it.
What’s even more bizarre is that there is not a single woman on the street who is a three-inch golden lotus.
Given their age, they should have never traveled far, and they are poor people without parents.
“Young master, please come back. The inn has been booked and no outsiders are allowed.” The shopkeeper behind the counter quickly stated.
Whether it is selling rare treasures in her space, or collecting overseas varieties and seafood, Shangdu Mansion is the best choice.
“That’s right, it’s something that is both simple and easy to install. How do you sell it?”
The delicious Ziluo is sitting on the ground holding a big bone and chewing the remaining muscles. His hands and face are all oily, but he is so happy that he can't even see his teeth.
The aroma from upstairs could be smelled all over the inn, and even Manager Wang opposite knew that Ziyu was preparing to eat.
