Chapter 65
"Qing'er, can you walk?" Yang Huazhou turned his head and asked Yang Ruoqing who was following him.
There were something in the man's eyes that was called heartache and guilt flashing.
"Qing'er, it's uncle who is incompetent and can't get a ox cart. You can walk over these thirty miles by yourself, uncle."
"Uncle Fifth, what are you talking about? Qing'er is not the delicate ladies of the landlord's old treasure house. These dozens of miles are nothing."
Yang Ruoqing said with bright eyebrows and eyes.
"Besides, Qing'er likes to walk. Not only is she sweating, I can still grind off my excess fat body, how great it is."
"Uh" Yang Huazhou's head is full of black lines, which is also a reason
The man looked at Yang Ruoqing again, as if he had discovered something. Yang Huazhou said in surprise, "No, uncle thinks that you have lost a lot of weight during this period of time, and his face has been smaller."
"Really uncle"
Yang Ruoqing was so happy when she heard this. She freed up her hand and touched her face a few times.
To be honest, she touches it every day, but she really can't figure it out.
However, she believed that Yang Huazhou had not lie to her, and that she must have lost weight during this period of time.
I no longer have to eat the food rations of my parents and myself as before, and I no longer sleep well during the day.
After traveling through time, I regulated my work and rest time, reduced my diet, and strengthened my exercise. I was busy at home and outside every day.
"Uncle, Qing'er will continue to lose weight. She will become a girl of normal size. Just wait and see," Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.
Yang Huazhou smiled and said, "As long as you have a good body, it's nothing to be fatter or thinner. You look good in the eyes of uncle. You can't find such a likable daughter anymore, hehe."
Yang Ruoqing was covered in black lines. Uncle Wu thought he was a dull man, but he didn't expect that he would be a good guy when talking about doting words.
"Come on, hang your basket on this shoulder pole"
Yang Huazhou felt sorry for Yang Ruoqing's weak strength, so he insisted on taking the basket.
"Wow, this rabbit is quite heavy, it weighs at least five pounds," he asked.
"It's weighed, it's five pounds and eight ounces."
"Well, do you plan to send this rabbit to a restaurant or to sell it in the tile market?" Yang Huazhou asked again.
"Uncle, this is my first time when I come to the town to do business. I don't know the price trend. You might as well tell me first," said Yang Ruoqing.
Regarding the ancient trading rules and general market conditions, Yang Ruoqing in her previous life had read similar books and records.
She was not as blind as she said, but the price trends of the ancient times she traveled to were not sure how different they were from those of the ancient Chinese, so she would rather ask clearly and feel more at ease.
Yang Huazhou thought about it carefully, organized the language, and reported the prices of the things he knew that were closely related to life to Yang Ruoqing one by one.
Yang Ruoqing sorted out Yang Huazhou's information and soon felt a clear idea.
In this era, meat buns and eggs cost one penny per cent, and pork costs fifteen cents per pound.
Wild game like rabbits and eels are more expensive than pork, about thirty cents per pound.
Just roughly convert the money from modern money, the purchasing power of a penny is about the same as that of a dollar. One tael of silver is one thousand cents, so one tael of silver is one thousand cents.
"If this lively rabbit is sent to a restaurant, it will definitely be immediately shaking its hands, but the price of the restaurant will probably be lower than that of the tile market. If it is sold at the tile market, the price should be better, but it will not be sold so quickly, so you have to wait," Yang Huazhou analyzed.
Yang Ruoqing thought for a while, "Let's try your luck in Wa City first."
The uncle and nephew continued to rush to the road. Thirty miles away, they took out the tea prepared by Sun and then rushed to the road.
When a red sun slowly poked out half of its body from the east hillside, the residents of Qingshui Town who had been sleeping all night woke up and started a new day of livelihood.
"Qing'er, it's here."
"Um"
Yang Ruoqing nodded and looked at the undulating blue-gray house in front of her. This is Qingshui Town.
It was a bit different from the scene she imagined in her mind, there was no traffic, nor was there a tall restaurant, teahouse and shop.
On both sides of the Bluestone Street where two carriages can pass side by side are rows of low houses, with signs erected at the doors, and some with flags and banners, marking the business operations carried out by each shop.
"Northern big buns, old steamed buns, thin skin and lots of stuffing, just out of the cage, so come and buy them."
At the door of the bun shop next to it, the guy was shouting, bringing out a basket of freshly out-of-pot buns and putting them on a wooden table more than one meter long.
There are large hollow circular holes on the table, and a water stove burned by charcoal fire is connected to the ground. The water is boiling and hot bubbles are emerging.
The guy put the bun cage on it to keep it warm, and opened the top cage cover. The heat swelled up, and the unique fragrance of the buns suddenly scattered in the air.
There were already people in front of the table, you three, I bought them two.
Yang Ruoqing was so attracted by the fragrance that she swallowed hard. She ate wild vegetable porridge last night. She rushed to the road this morning and didn't have half a grain of rice in her stomach.
Now that I saw the pile of steamed buns that looked like a hill, I felt that my chest was about to be attached to my back.
"Qing'er, I'm greedy, uncle will buy you a big meat bun."
Yang Huazhou said, and was about to put down the shoulder pole on his shoulder. He was stopped by Yang Ruoqing.
"Uncle, I'm not in a hurry to eat now. Let's go to Washi to sell things first." Yang Ruoqing said.
The plan for the day is in the morning, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people in Washi City must have more time than other times.
She can't delay.
What's more, the transaction has not even opened, so she has to spend money first. She doesn't want to do it, let alone Yang Huazhou.
The money on Yang Huazhou was plucked by Qiu, and he used a copper plate to reduce one.
Yang Huazhou was stubborn and had to send Yang Ruoqing to Wa City, north of the town first.
On the way, Yang Huazhou told Yang Ruoqing carefully about the situation in Wa City.
Washi is just a noun, which means a place to communicate with various items closely related to life.
There are various stalls that are permanently resident. The stall owners have to pay taxes to the government regularly. Some are hawkers like Yang Ruoqing, who do not have fixed stalls, temporary and relatively mobile.
These hawkers are all farmers, fishermen, hunters, etc. near the town
Every now and then, I have to pay a certain venue fee every time. Of course, these temporary venues must not be compared with those fixed stalls. People who have been here for a long time will pay higher rent, so the stalls must be prime locations.
It would be nice if you could give it to you a corner like Yang Ruoqing
Fortunately, the venue fee was not much, so Yang Ruoqing paid five cents and then followed Yang Huazhou into Wa City.
This was the first time Yang Ruoqing walked into the ancient Wa City, looking around with a pair of novel eyes.
This place is undoubtedly an ancient farmers' market, with vegetables, fruits and poultry all sold.
