Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

They all listened to these Qingyans, and most of them were whispered in whispers, especially those who spoke ill of the Xiang family. They were not stupid. This was the Xiang family's teahouse, and they had to restrain themselves a little on other people's territory.

Qingyan and the others didn't have any thoughts after hearing this. They just thought that these were normal and there was no need to help clarify their thoughts. After all, it was quite fantasy and people might not believe it even if they said it.

When Xiang Yingzhong has children in the future, the rumors will naturally be put to rest.

They left the teahouse and went to other places. They didn't buy anything in the county town. Firstly, there were all the things in the space. Secondly, the things here were no different from those in other places. There were no specialties that attracted them much. of.

So when it was almost noon, they went back to Xiang's house. After all, they were still living in other people's homes. Those who went out didn't tell the host that they couldn't go back to eat outside. If they ate outside, they would leave food for them. Yes, this is also very rude.

When I went back, I found that Xiang Yingzhong had also returned, and he followed them through the door.

"Are you guys having fun? If you have any supplies, just tell Xiang. Xiang's shop is quite complete, so we should be able to prepare everything."

When Xiang Yingzhong saw that they almost came back empty-handed, he was afraid that they would be embarrassed to tell them what they needed, so he just mentioned it himself.

It was Jin Yang who was still the representative who stepped forward and replied: "Brother Xiang, there is no need to be so polite. We really have nothing to supply. As you can see, we still have a lot of food on our two oxcarts, including charcoal and so on." It's full, but it doesn't use much along the way.

We are just idle and bored, just going out for a walk. If you really need anything, we will not be polite to you. "

Xiang Yingzhong nodded, "That's good. If you need anything, don't be polite, just ask. You are kind to my Xiang family. As long as it is what I have, you can take it for yourself."

After hearing what he said, they naturally refused again. They stopped talking when Mrs. Liu urged them to have lunch.

After eating, they went out again without even taking a nap. This time they wanted to go for a walk outside the county town.

There was no bullock cart driven, otherwise Xiang Yingzhong and his wife would have thought they were leaving. It would be inconvenient to live in someone else's house.

They were not going to the Xiang family's village when they went outside the city. After all, they were not going to inspect other people's properties. They had to inspect every other village.

They went outside the city to check out the south pier. I had seen it with my spiritual consciousness before. The dock outside the South City Gate was particularly lively. Many people traveling by water would stop there, some to replenish some supplies, and others to unload the goods they had brought over.

Many people may stay for a short time and will not enter the county town. After all, it is still some distance from the dock.

Although everything in the county town is complete, it is a waste of time to go back and forth, so many people seized this business opportunity and set up many stalls at the dock.

Some sell special snacks here, and some sell daily necessities, even grains, vegetables, chickens, ducks, etc., so that the passing ships docked there will come down to buy some. .

Gradually, it became like a small market. Not only people from the county town, but also nearby villages would go there to set up stalls. The daily business was quite good.

Because they will go east when they leave later, there is a high probability that they will not pass by the south side, and they probably will not use water in the future, so they might as well go for a stroll now.

They walked very fast, even holding Yuan Bao in their arms. However, when they were outside, the three of them, Chou Chou, Jin Yang, and Huang, basically took turns holding him.

Although Qingyan was strong, it felt too ugly to have three grown men walking around empty-handed while she was the only woman holding a child.

It was about ten miles from the county seat to the pier outside the city. They walked very fast. It only took them more than half an hour to reach the pier outside the south city gate.

At this time, there are many boats docked on the shore, so it is the busiest time of the day.

The sound was very chaotic, including the sounds of bargaining at the stalls on both sides, and the sounds of people carrying burdens and baskets going directly to the side of the boat to sell goods.

Some even had their own fishing boats and rowed directly to the big boats waiting in line to dock and directly asked the guests on the boats if they had anything they needed.

If there are any, just put the things in the basket and carry them on the big boat with a bamboo pole. Then the other party puts the money in the basket and takes it back.

Qingyan felt that this scene was so familiar, as if she had seen this scene when she took the train with her parents.

At that time, they took the green train with windows that could be opened, and some people bought some fruit snacks and drinks directly on the railway line.

The taller ones would just reach out and hand the things in, while the short ones would pick them up with bamboo poles or sticks and send the things to the window, and then the guests would put the money in the basket and let the other person Take it back.

Of course, later on, most trains became express trains and the windows could not be opened. In order to prevent danger, casual entry was not allowed on the platform, so this phenomenon has never been seen again.

But at that time, I thought this method of doing business was quite interesting, but I didn’t expect that these were all leftovers used by the ancients. Sure enough, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.

Qingyan and the others didn't come here to buy anything or do anything, they just came here to join in the fun when they were bored.

Although you can see the scene here with your spiritual consciousness, being there and seeing it with your spiritual consciousness are two different things. Especially Qingyan and the others are not the kind of people who like to stay at home. They all like to walk outside. Some things are more interesting to see in person.

Here they not only saw stalls set up along the river bank, but also saw many people who got off the boat and sold goods brought from other places after replenishing supplies.

Looking at the baskets and boxes of goods being unloaded, at first they thought they were specifically delivering goods to businesses in the county, but later they found out they were not.

Some people just parked their boats here, just like later generations driving big trucks to sell fruits on the roadside, and started wholesale business there. Some shops in the county also sent people here specifically. See When you get these, you buy them directly and sell them slowly in your own shop.

Most of these are specialties shipped from far away places that are not available here and can be sold at high prices.

Qingyan followed curiously and saw tropical fruits on these boats.

The waterway is faster, and we can actually transport tropical fruits. Although they are relatively easy to store, it is not easy. Qingyan and the others couldn't help but buy some, including bananas and mangoes that were still green, as well as lotus mist that had softened.

The first two need to be put away before you can eat them, and the latter one must be eaten immediately, otherwise it will spoil.

The bananas that Chou Chou stored in the space have long been eaten. Most of the fruits inside now were saved after coming to this world, or they were in Jinyang's space.

However, except for some oranges, yellow peaches, and loquats transplanted along the way, most of the fruits in Jinyang Space are from the north. There are really no fruits from the south. After all, they haven't been there yet.

So I couldn't help but buy more, including five baskets of bananas, two baskets of mangoes, and a few kilograms of Lianwu to try, mainly because they didn't have many.

These bananas and mangoes are not big in size and should have grown naturally. They are not grafted like most of them in later generations. They look good in appearance and should taste good if left alone.

At that time, they can put it in Jinyang's space, and the aura should make it taste better.

After the bananas and mangoes turn yellow, just put them into the ChouChou space.

In order to show off, they even rented a cart nearby, saying that they had a warehouse not far away, and then Jin Yang and Huang Huang pushed it there and found a place where no one was around to put it away.

Qingyan and Chou Chou stayed here and continued to see if there was anything else they wanted to buy.

Afterwards, they met a ship carrying silk and satin, bought some silk and cloth that were not available here, and pulled a cart over there. Then they returned the cart to the owner and gave the owner a penny. As the cost of renting a car.

The boss of the car was the old man waiting here to do the work. He looked at the one penny and waved his hand, "You don't need so much, just ten coppers. I don't have that many coppers for you."

Chou Chou put the silver into his hand and said, "Keep it, there is no need to look for it, the rest will be treated as a reward, just keep it for you, we are not short of this little money."

The old man accepted it, but he still bent down and thanked him several times, feeling embarrassed that he had received so much money without any effort.

He was responsible for pushing the carts used by ordinary people to the county town. He only charged ten cents for a round trip. This family borrowed them for a while, but he didn't even contribute, so he just gave them to him. Money, I feel a little unworthy of it.

But he was still happy to receive more money, which was equivalent to his entire day's income.

With the old man's grateful expression on his face, they went to a tea shed not far away, intending to sit there for a while to see if they could come across anything good before continuing to buy.

As time goes by, fewer and fewer ships dock, and most of the things unloaded are repetitive.

They stayed at the tea shed until almost four o'clock in the afternoon. By this time, almost all the ships that had docked there had left, and there were very few coming, so they were ready to go back.

Not long after I returned to Xiang's house, it was time for dinner again. After dinner, the day passed by again.

They didn't go out again the next day, and there wasn't much to see in the county, so they might as well just squat at home.

Except when eating, Xiang Yingzhong would go out to do errands. Mrs. Liu also had her own things to be busy with. This was the disadvantage of having a small family. Even if there were servants to give instructions, some things had to be done by herself.

So basically no one will come to disturb them. At this time, they can go into the space to clean up their things.

Arrange the bananas that were brought in yesterday, and put the mangoes and other things in some flat baskets, layer by layer, and put them all in the basket. The ones below will be easily damaged.

After cleaning up, Qingyan went to mess with Liu's trousseau furniture that had been put away from the water. Those pieces had been placed in the yard by Chou Chou in the space. There was a little distance between each piece to allow the moisture to dry.

She did not let Jinyang dry it directly, but dried it slowly. If it was dried all at once, no matter how good the wood was, it would be easily cracked and damaged, and it could be stored longer if it was dried.

If it is left outside for two days, it will not dry, but if it is inside the space, it will be fine.

Maybe it's because of the spiritual energy. Not only did the inside dry, it also felt like the furniture looked brighter.

Especially the bed that Xiang Yingzhong's grandmother brought in before. After the formations on it were removed, those bad effects were gone. Now it looks more exquisite than the bed Qingyan bought before. too much.

No wonder Grandma Xiang Yingzhong was reluctant to use it and put it away in the warehouse. Who knew that in this way, she herself escaped disaster.

I just didn't expect that Xiang Yingzhong and his wife would use it by accident. After using it for so many years, they must have liked this bed. If it hadn't been for that formation, they probably wouldn't have replaced it.

This bed is either the small house-like one from the Ming and Qing dynasties, or it is a wooden bed surrounded by fine carvings. In addition, it is made of blood sandalwood, the color is beautiful, and it is even more polished. Smooth, it looks like a beautiful piece of art when placed there, which is particularly pleasing to the eye.

Although Qingyan likes it very much and is not shy about using the formation before, but after all, she has slept with Xiang Yingzhong and his wife for several years. She still feels a little awkward for a little girl, so she does not plan to use it to sleep, but to prepare Collect it.

The same goes for Liu's dowry, which is also prepared for collection. Anyway, you can use it yourself. If not, you can buy or customize it. These are different. They are all made with fine workmanship and the parents' love for their daughter. They are all worth it. Take it back to be treasured for posterity.

She was going to wait until Chou Chou and the others were free and ask them to build a small bamboo building, and then they could put the furniture inside and put it in her ring space.

There was a lot of spiritual energy in her space because she often poured Tengling Spring water into it, but there was no room to put these things.

In addition, the things planted there can't just be left in the open air. Although there is no wind, frost, snow or rain in the space, it looks quite awkward.

In the future, she plans to plant some fruit trees and some flowers and plants, put some strange stones, and let Chou Chou make some small bridges and flowing water, plus a small bamboo building. Needless to say, at least it looks good.
