Chapter 208 Back to the era of barter
Nan Ci also looked in the direction where the man was waving, and there was a row of rickshaws parked there.

As the man waved, the first person in line pulled his car and ran towards this side.

This kind of rickshaw is very similar to the old rickshaw, but the material is different, and the people pulling the rickshaw are dressed differently from before.

But even though it’s different, it’s still a rickshaw.

Look at this rickshaw.The feeling in Nan Ci's heart was even weirder.

"Beauty, don't worry, he pulls the car quickly and steadily. It won't take long to get you to your place."

Hearing the man's words, Nan Ci blinked, suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and got into the car with the old Taoist priest.

After sitting down, Nan Ci looked at the man, "Are you running to follow me?"

"Yes! Beauty, don't worry, I can run fast."

Nan Ci nodded, "That's okay! By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Zhang Cheng." Zhang Cheng replied with a smile, "It's a cheap name, it's easy to make a living."

Hearing Zhang Cheng's answer, Nan Ci just curled his lips and did not judge too much about the meaning of his words.

It's just a name, how do you distinguish between high and low?
Those who distinguish between high and low are always just humans.

Seeing that Nan Ci remained silent, Zhang Cheng didn't say anything more. He just patted the cart driver on the shoulder and signaled that he could leave.

Just like what Zhang Cheng said, this driver pulled the cart very fast and very steadily.

The roads in the city are not asphalt roads, but compacted dirt roads.

Although there will be some tiny stone particles on it, it is generally harmless.

Sitting in the car, there is no bumpy feeling.

More than ten minutes later, the rickshaw stopped.

Along the way, Nan Ci was not idle, and was always observing the surrounding environment.

The streets in the city are smooth and smooth, and the width of the pavement is about the same.

There are facades on both sides of the street, which are stores.

Just like a city before the apocalypse, these small shops are full of variety and dazzling.

Almost every small shop has customers in twos and threes. I don’t know whether the business is good or not, but at least it looks very lively and full of fireworks.

Whether it is in terms of specifications or architectural style, this base does not look like it was built in a hurry.

On the contrary, it seems to have been carefully planned and carefully built.

Could it be that this place already existed before the end of the world?

After the end of the world, it was directly converted into a base?
Although he had this suspicion in his mind, Nan Ci was not in a hurry to ask Zhang Cheng.

The car had just stopped when Zhang Chengcheng ran over from behind.

The driver and Zhang Cheng were both running wildly, but there was no sweat on their faces, and their faces were only slightly red.

Just by looking at them, you can tell that their physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Zhang Cheng still had a smile on his face, "Beauty, look, how do we pay the fare?"

Nan Ci glanced at Zhang Cheng indifferently, "How much is the fare?"

"Two taels of grain."

"Raw or cooked?"

Although they are both two taels, the two taels of raw grain and cooked grain are not the same thing at all.

After adding water to the raw grain and cooking it, it becomes more than just two taels.From this aspect, raw food is of course more cost-effective.

"As long as you are familiar with it!" Zhang Cheng smiled, his attitude became more respectful, and his back was bent a little more.

Hearing what he said, Nan Ci didn't waste any time, walked around behind the old Taoist priest, opened his backpack a crack, and put a hand in.

After a while, Nan Ci took out his hand, holding a cold mixed-noodle bun in his hand.

The skin of the steamed buns is a little black and yellow, hard, and there is almost no fragrance.

But Nan Ci clearly saw that as she took out the steamed buns, Zhang Cheng and the driver's eyes widened, and they swallowed at the same time.

Obviously, both of them were very greedy for this steamed bun.

Nan Ci let the two people's reactions be seen in his eyes, but he just pretended not to see them and handed the steamed buns to the coachman calmly.

The driver did not immediately reach out to take it, but rubbed his hands on his body again and again, blew on it with his mouth, and then reached out his hand excitedly.

Nan Ci gently placed the steamed bun on the coachman's hand, "Trouble."

The driver clasped his hands together and held the steamed bun tightly in his hands. "No trouble, no trouble! If you want to use the car, I can ask Zhang Cheng to greet me at any time. I'll be there on call."

Zhang Chengzheng looked at the coachman with some envious eyes. When he heard what the coachman said, he smiled and cursed, "You can do it! Making such a big trip and earning such a big bun is enough for you to have fun. He also slaps his nose on his face."

"Yes, yes, I was wrong."

"Who cares whether you are wrong or not? Just leave quickly and don't delay the beauty."

Zhang Cheng laughed and cursed and drove the driver away.

When he was not talking to the car, Zhang Cheng's back was straight.

But when he turned to look at Xiang Nanci, his back bent again.

"Beauty, don't be as knowledgeable as him.

Look at this Sichuan Style House, it has an upright appearance and a very stylish decoration. Of course, this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that the old chefs of this restaurant are all locals from Sichuan and Chongqing. They have been cooking since they were teenagers and have been doing it for decades. It is definitely an authentic old Sichuan and Chongqing taste. "

When Zhang Cheng introduced, Nan Ci also looked up at the store's sign.

Just like what Zhang Cheng introduced, the three characters "Sichuan Weiju" are written on the plaque above the store.

The plaque is made of wood and the font is in regular script, giving it a simple and old feel.

Although the store door in front of me is closed, standing at the door, I can vaguely smell the spicy smell wafting from inside.

You can tell from the smell that the chef is really good at cooking.

Nan Ci looked at Zhang Cheng, "How do you pay for eating here?"

It’s impossible to also give food, right?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Zhang Chengdao, "Money is useless now, no one cares about luxury goods or jewelry, so gold still has some purchasing power.

If you eat here, you can pay in gold or exchange it with grain.

When it comes to grain, it depends on the type and quality of the grain given. Good quality will be one to one, bad quality will be one to two or one to three to four. "

Hearing Zhang Cheng's answer, Nan Ci was a little surprised.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.

Without a monetary system, wouldn’t we be back to the era of bartering?
Knowing how to pay the bill, Nan Ci no longer hesitated and opened the door directly and walked in. At the same time, he did not forget to greet Zhang Cheng, "Let's go in and have a look together. During the meal, we need you to give us a good explanation." The situation at this base.”

Zhang Cheng's face showed ecstasy and he kept nodding, "Okay, okay! Don't worry, beauty, I will definitely tell you everything I know. I will make sure you understand this base in the shortest possible time."
