Chapter 5: Qingshi Town

Time of Mao

Rooster crows

At this time, the sky was just dawn, and only a faint line of sight could be seen between the gray world.

At this moment, the entrance of Zhenglin Village was inexplicably lively and noisy.

Because today is the most important time for the market in January.

The market only opens for seven days a month, and the time for each opening is fixed.

If the people in the village want to exchange various mountain products and agricultural products for silver and then buy daily necessities, they must seize this opportunity, otherwise they will have to wait until next month.

Most villagers gather at the entrance of the village. People who go to the market are holding their hands and waists and full of them. These are all goods to be sold in the town.

Some particularly heavy goods are placed on a few ox carts on one side.

When Xu Changming came to the entrance of the village with his black leather bag, people were almost ready and were about to set off.

When the villagers saw this strange young man, a trace of confusion flashed in their eyes. Is there anyone in our village?

"This... this seems to be Xu Erniu's baby."

"It should be, I look like it."

"I've seen him a few times before, and he is Erniu's baby."

After several identifications, several villagers still recognized Xu Changming's identity.

"Baby, is your father Erniu?"

A dark-skinned man stepped forward and asked Xu Changming.

"Yes, uncle, my father is Xu Erniu." Xu Changming replied shyly after being watched by so many people.

Seeing Xu Changming admitting it, and someone recognized him, the dark man stopped saying anything and let Xu Changming go sideways into the market.

"Ah... it's really Xu Erniu's baby. Haven't you grown up like this in a few years?"

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that this kid would have grown up so much in just a few years."

There are not only men in the market troop, but also women.

These gossiped women gathered together to talk about the child who had not seen him for a long time.

Xu Changming seemed submissive from beginning to end, very much like a "little hairy child" who had never seen a stranger before and always liked to blush with his face!"

Through the discussions of these village women, no one in the market rushing to the market doubted Xu Changming's identity.

At the same time, because he seemed a little afraid of life, people gradually stopped talking to him.

This made Xu Changming feel a little relieved.

He is not the original Xu Changming. He does not have Xu Changming's memory and experience, so he doesn't know these people in front of him.

If it weren't for the purpose of dealing with the fur, he would really not want to interact with the people in Zhenglin Village.

One is because he is afraid that his abnormality will attract others' attention. If someone finds that he is fake, he will have to leave this place.

Before he had enough strength, Xu Changming did not want to leave this small village that was temporarily safe.

He accumulates grain and becomes king slowly.

First develop a stable foundation, then talk about other things.

Another thing is that from the moment I got the golden finger, Xu Changming's heart became "wild"!

When he knew that the world was so vast and spectacular and there were so many legendary figures, he had the idea of ​​going to see it.

He is destined to not stay in this small mountain village for too long, so he can only be a short stop for him to temporarily live and accumulate strength to maintain his power.

Since they are destined to leave, they are destined to be people from two worlds with them.

Why should he waste his time on these people? It would be better to add more fragrance from cultivation.

After successfully mingling into the market ranks, Xu Changming lowered his head and rushed to the road in silence.

As he was rushing hard, the information in front of him began to roll again, but the speed was a bit slow.

"Body +1, food +1, body +1, food +1..."

...

This world that resembles the ancient Celestial Empire is vast and boundless, so the distance between villages is many times farther than that of the ancient Celestial Empire.

In addition, the production conditions in this world are similar to those in ancient times, and they all rely on walking to go out, or wealthy families ride horses, but in short, the traffic efficiency is extremely low.

Therefore, from Zhenglin Village to Qingshi Town, people need to walk the whole day.

Because it was the first time I came here and didn’t know the road, Xu Changming could only follow the villagers of Zhenglin Village.

Until evening, when the sun sets, the red glow covers the sky.

Xu Changming's eyes lit up when he looked at the exquisite Jiangnan town that appeared in front of him.

"Qingshi Town, I'm here!"

Walking in this ancient town, Xu Changming felt the charm of ancient architecture for the first time.

Compared with most thatched huts and thatched huts in Zhenglin Village, there are bluestone paving roads, and the houses on both sides are arranged in an orderly manner, with shops all in one place, gray tiles and white walls, and smoke curling up.

Today is the day when the market is opened. The residents of the town will seize this opportunity to go out to buy various items, or sell some handmade products they made themselves, and a large number of merchants and merchants come to resell goods with caravans.

There are many different schools of thought, opera and storytelling.

People come and go, shoulder to shoulder, and it is very lively.

"Qingshi Town has seventeen villages under its jurisdiction. Every time, people from seventeen villages come back. In order to facilitate these people to trade, the people of Qingshi Town have opened up a huge open space in the center of Qingshi Town to serve as the main site of the market."

“That’s it!”

Xu Changming followed the team from Zhenglin Village and walked into the market. A wave of heat came and there were all kinds of smells.

Smell smell, salted fish smell, cow shit smell, bun smell, onion smell...

At this time, the sun had completely set, and the night sky enveloped the entire earth.

However, the venue was brightly lit and crowded, like a sleepless night market. Such a grand occasion and such a novel experience were an experience that Xu Changming had never had before.

"Okay, everyone has dispersed. Just do whatever you should do. Remember to gather here in six days. If you can't catch up or want to go ahead, you have to leave yourself!"

As a man's words fell, the villagers of Zhenglin Village dispersed instantly.

The place where they stood was the area where Qingshi Town assigned to the people of Zhenglin Village to set up stalls and sells them.

Many people struck while the iron was hot, put the goods on the ground on the spot, and the bold ones began to shout, while the timid ones squatted on the ground silently, waiting for interested guests to ask for the price.

"I already know the route from Zhenglin Village to Qingshi Town. With my current speed, I can take two hours to come from Zhenglin Village to Qingshi Town. In the future, I will no longer have to follow these villagers here."

Xu Changming left the team in Zhenglin Village, merged into the crowd, and began to wander.

"The animal fur I brought this time. In this era, fur is obviously something that only rich people can buy. If you want to sell these things in this place, if no one buys them at all, or if you don't sell them at a low price."

"It seems that if I want to sell those fur goods, I have to plan it."

Xu Changming walked while walking in the venue and found that most of the selling of agricultural products, low-priced handmade products, or some daily necessities, and did not sell luxury goods.

The people who bought it were all ordinary people, not rich masters or young masters.

Without exception, there is no need to think about selling enough value here.

"The pawnshop that Lao Tzu said is also a road, but if you sell it to a pawnshop, the price is at least 30% lower. This is not a good deal. I'd better go shopping in this town first. If I really can't find a place to sell things, then there will be only the pawnshop road left!"
