People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Chapter 11 011: A preliminary exploration of Yangzhou City, the young owner of the grain store is a good person

How prosperous were the streets of Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty?
Du Mu said: "The spring breeze is ten miles away from Yangzhou Road!"

Zhang Hu said: "The second scoundrel is Yangzhou!"

Li Bai said: "Fireworks will go down to Yangzhou in March!"

Cai Xiaolan said: "What is said in the poem is true!"

Married to Yangzhou City, before enjoying it, she fell ill.A few days after he recovered from his illness, he moved to the countryside again.It was not until today that I was able to take a stroll around the bustling city independently.

After asking someone at the gate of the city, Cai Xiaolan took Xiao Dongping all the way to the grain and oil store.Grain shops have always been important shops related to people's lives, and there are a lot of them.The two turned around three or four streets, and found a "Shengjia Food Store"!
Although it was afternoon, there was an endless stream of people buying food.On the west side of the grain store, there is water. On the five or six meter wide river, dozens of awning boats are lined up at the small dock. Dozens of strong men are carrying the white polished rice to Puli.

"It's so lively!"

Yangzhou City has many streets and waterways.

The shops on the street all face south. On the south side, there are mobile stalls in twos and threes. They offer several kinds of snacks and home-produced small commodities. Although it is not lively, it is better than Liujiazhuang, which does not even have a small shop. A hundred times more lively.

Cai Xiaolan stepped into the threshold of the rice shop, but was stopped by a force.

"Third brother and sister-in-law, I want to eat a flax cake!"

Cui Dongping stared at a small stall opposite the rice shop.The fragrant flax cake affects all her sensory organs.The saliva dripped down, crystal clear.

"Veg is fine!"

"Okay, I'll finish the shopping later——"

Cai Xiaolan, who had half stepped on the threshold, suddenly flipped to the light curtain and popped up the task out of thin air:
Meng's mother moved three times, and Zeng Zi killed pigs.The countless educational stories left by the predecessors seem to be dominated by boys.In order for the boy to grow up and succeed, it doesn't matter if he has toss or hassle.When dealing with girls, there is always some carelessness.

I feel unhappy!Why should girls be treated casually?Please earnestly fulfill Cui Dongping's wish to eat flax cakes.

Reward: 100 coins

Cai Xiaolan immediately took back half of her foot, turned around, and looked at Cui Dongping very seriously, "Does Xiao Dongping really want to eat flax cake?"

"Yes!"

"Does Xiao Dongping want to eat meat or vegetarian food?"

"Meat!"

"Okay, then let's go eat meat-filled sesame cakes, and we want two more!" Cai Xiaolan pulled Cui Dongping to the stall, "I want two sesame cakes, meat ones!"

It is now popular to talk about delayed gratification and getting what you want immediately, which is extremely detrimental to children's character development.As the saying goes, smashing a son is like killing a son.Cai Xiaolan, who has extremely upright views, certainly does not want to raise Cui Dongping to be the same person as her brother.

However, the first thing Cui Dongping did when he arrived in Yangzhou City was to introduce Cai Xiaolan to the delicacies in Yangzhou City very solemnly, among which the No. 1 dish was flax cake.

Along the way, there are many flax cake stalls.Each one needs to be reminded by Cai Xiaolan before they can move forward.

"How much?" Cai Xiaolan in front of the booth had a look of disbelief.

"Vegetarian 8 cents, meat sandwich 10!" The owner of the flax cake shop greeted him with a smile, and repeated the price of the flax cake to her again.The eyes are sincere and clear, without any look of contempt.

"Come two!"

With the ability of Cai Xiaolan, it is not impossible to pay out 20 yuan.It's just that she and Cui's mother have been busy for two hours, and the money they earn can only be used to buy 12 flax cakes.

What is the difference between bragging and reality?It is not bragging if you can pay for what is said.

After eating flax cakes, he got 100 money and task points rewarded by the system.I feel very happy.So far, she has saved two mission points.

……

"Little lady, can you tell me again, what do you want to buy?" The old man standing inside the rice shop didn't know whether it was because he was surprised, or because he was hard of hearing, he couldn't hear Cai Xiaolan's words clearly.

"I want 10 Dou of brown rice, 10 Dou of corn, 10 Dou of white flour, and 2 Dou of glutinous rice!" Cai Xiaolan asked for so much white flour entirely because of Cui Dongping.A flax cake costs 10 yuan.You can do the same at home.

"Where's your car?"

"What car?"

"Then how do you transport it back?"

Hearing the old man's words, Cai Xiaolan slapped her forehead fiercely, and it occurred to her that she had no means of transportation.

"Can't you deliver goods here?"

"I'm sorry, it's a small business, and at this time, all the men have gone home to farm!" The old man suddenly stopped holding the abacus, "Little lady, where are your men?"

Lao Wang observed very carefully. The little lady was holding a hoe in her hand, and seeing how she came out to show her face at a young age, she could be identified as a country girl.

Besides, only country girls can be so dry.There is not even a little plumpness in the waist.The beautiful face was blinded in vain.

"Then what should I do?" Cai Xiaolan wandered around anxiously.

The old man in charge of the abacus obviously didn't have such good intentions. He just looked at Cai Xiaolan like an ant on a hot pot, scurrying all over the floor in a hurry, and laughed.

If you can't transport it, you can't buy rice and noodles; if you can't buy rice and noodles, you can't continue the onigiri business.Then the task of making consistent money in three days will not be completed.

"Old Wang, you are teasing the customers again!" A white-faced boy came from the warehouse behind the shop, wearing a long gown, wearing a longan-sized jade pendant around his waist, round face, thin eyebrows, young but full of style.

He doesn't look like a son of a businessman, but rather a scholar of some family.

"Young Master!" The old man immediately got up and stood with his hands folded.

"Little lady, go to the door, cross the bridge to the west, and keep walking. When you encounter the next bridge, turn right after crossing the bridge. You will see a shop selling flat carts. If your husband comes with you, you two can rent a car. Maybe buy one!" Jing Guangli knew what to call Cai Xiaolan when he saw her bun.

"Thank you!"

As for what Xiaonian reminded her just now, it takes two people to push it, Cai Xiaolan easily ignored it.Golden Hoe + Cai Xiaolan, the strength is equivalent to one and a half, and the endurance is equivalent to two and a half.

Within a moment, Cai Xiaolan appeared at the door pushing a large cart.The trolley is 230 yuan, and the short flat cart and the large flat cart are the same, both are 200 yuan.

"Oh, Xiao Dongping, I must have been short of bargaining just now!" Cai Xiaoniang countered 180 yuan, and the old woman agreed with a little embarrassment.

"Aniang never haggles when buying things!" Xiao Dongping muttered in his mouth.

"Yes, your mother is the most generous! With the 20 dollars saved, can't you buy two meatloaf?"

……

In the end, with the help of the store clerk, two bags of corn, two bags of brown rice, two bags of white flour, and a small bag of glutinous rice filled only half of the large flat cart.And Cai Xiaoniang's pocket also went to 650 yuan.And now she only has a little over a hundred dollars left in her pocket.

"Thank you!" Cai Xiaolan once again thanked the young owner of the grain store.If it wasn't for him, he would have to pay another 35 yuan as a deposit for his pocket.

"Let's go buy some more dried fruits!"

While eating the salty rice balls, Miss Cai always felt that something was wrong.The sweetness brought by the silver-plated copper pot can always make the rice balls sweet, but the inside is salty and has a strange taste.If you don't use pickles, just add some dried fruit, and the fried crispy is delicious.

Dried fruit shops are hard to find.Especially in this season, the old dried fruits were exhausted by the noble ladies who killed their days in the middle of winter, and the new dried fruits have not yet come down.I went to several stores, and only found some orange peels, dried apricots and other off-the-shelf products. Fortunately, they were not expensive, and only cost less than 10 yuan.

After buying two things, not only was the purse empty, but even the afternoon was empty.

The dream of customizing a large iron pot has come true.The plan to eat stir-fried vegetables needs to be moved back a bit.

"Sister-in-law, the appointment time with the third brother is coming soon, we have to get to the door quickly!" Cui Dongping followed and suddenly thought of Cui Boyan.

Only then did Cai Xiaolan realize that it was getting dark, "Hurry up!"

Walking at night is like walking through black holes one after another. Of course it is best to have someone to take care of you.

When Cai Xiaolan arrived at the gate of the city, she saw a spice shop and could smell the pepper star anise from a long distance away.She bought some more commonly used ones, and when the busy days of spring plowing are over, she will open new snacks.The flavor of the spices is very high, almost spending all the money in Cai Xiaolan's hands.

This purchase wasted time again.

And when Cai Xiaolan pushed the big flat cart to the gate, Cui Boyan was already stuck on the edge of the city wall like a telegraph pole.

"Where did you get such a big car?" With a look of disgust, it seems that scholars should draw a clear line from manual labor.

"Otherwise, how do you bring back so many rice noodles?"

"Ugh!"

A sigh expressed the sorrow of poor and humble couples.

If you want to do things well, you need money.No matter which society you are in, if you want to get something for nothing, you can only exploit others.Obviously, the Cui family currently does not have this ability.

In a hurry!
Cui Dongping is tired!
Cui Boyan had to pick up another handlebar, and the wheels finally turned fast.On the horizon, the red wheel that was about to fall rolled together.
