Chapter 257 Going to the Market

Two days later.

Wen Chaoyan's body has almost recovered internally, and the external injuries have no longer cracked and produced pus. As long as it takes time, he will be completely recovered.

And Jiang Wancheng felt much better after drinking the decoction prepared by Mr. Feng himself for a few days.

Therefore, when Jiang Wancheng got up early in the morning and saw Wen Chaoyan boxing in the courtyard, he knew that they should be ready to leave Fujun.

She walked over with the handkerchief and asked, "Shall I go shopping today?"

She had done nothing in the past few days. She only embroidered the green bamboo on Wen Erlang's pencil case in the house and made most of it.

Sister Youya and Wen Chaoyan were watching in person, and Jiang Wancheng didn't dare to do too much work, so he hadn't started sewing new clothes yet.

However, what is more important right now is that she needs to make a table of sumptuous food as a token of gratitude to everyone who has helped them these days.

Wen Chaoyan stared at the handkerchief handed to him.

Although he really wanted her to wipe his sweat for him personally, after all, this was still someone else's home and he had to worry a lot, so he had no choice but to take it over by himself.

After wiping it casually, Wen Chaoyan said: "Tomorrow, we will set off before returning to Wushan."

They had discussed it before.

Wen Chaoyan had to go back to the secret realm of Tianyun Palace again, and he was still a little short of memorizing all the treasures and secret books.

Jiang Wancheng was extremely shocked by this.

The totem of a whole waterfall is a modern person like Jiang Wancheng. He thinks that recording it is a huge and majestic task, and it can only be accomplished with the help of tools to draw or take photos.

And he can actually memorize them all in his mind!

Only then did Jiang Wancheng realize that he had underestimated him in the past. He was afraid that when it came to marching and fighting, he would turn out to be a very terrifying and talented person!

Therefore, Wen Chaoyan still needs to go back to the secret realm of Tianyun Palace, and Jiang Wancheng also needs to go back to deal with some chores at home before planning to leave.

Immediately, plans were made for today's events.

"Then I'll go to the market right away."

Wen Chaoyan: "Let's have lunch with our guests. I have to go out in the afternoon."

Jiang Wancheng was curious: "What are you doing out there?"

Wen Chaoyan smiled: "Some things need to be arranged. Do you want to go?"

Jiang Wancheng wanted to go out.

But he was also afraid that he would become a burden to him.

Just when she was about to refuse, Wen Chaoyan seemed to have read through her thoughts and said nonchalantly: "Then we will go out together. Just think about how to arrange Wang Chu and his wife."

Do you really want to take her out?

Jiang Wancheng was a little excited, but he couldn't help but ask: "Will it be troublesome to take me?"

Wen Chaoyan: "I'm very happy, why bother?"

Only then did Jiang Wancheng laugh.

Just after breakfast, Sherry arrived.

He didn't bother Wen Chaoyan in the past few days. Today, as if he knew that Wen Chaoyan's body had completely recovered, he came as soon as possible.

"Wu Lang, I have something important to discuss with you." Xue Lizi's expression was very serious, and it seemed that there was indeed something important.

Wen Chaoyan had planned to accompany Jiang Wencheng to the market in person, but he couldn't go.

When Jing Niang heard the sound, she immediately came out and took Jiang Wancheng's arm and said, "Then let me accompany Jiang Er to the market? We have a grandma to accompany us. Sir, just don't worry about the safety of your cousin during this trip."

Jiang Wancheng secretly pinched Jingniang, and Jingniang said "ouch" in pain, and the two of them immediately went out together with a smile on their face.

It would be troublesome to buy groceries while wearing a veil, so both of them only wore veils.

The market for buying and selling fruits and grains in Fujun County is in Xishi.

The market here is naturally several times more lively than the market in Qingyang Town, and the supplies are so abundant that Jiang Wancheng is speechless.

Although Qingyang Town is also prosperous, its population is limited after all, so even though there are people traveling from all over the world, the supplies sold are still scarce.

But this Fujun County was so rich that even Jiang Wancheng was surprised.

Before we even got to the end, we bought all the ingredients we needed. Just as he was about to return home, there was a sudden noise in front of him.

The two nuns immediately protected the two girls and hid behind. Jing Niang whispered: "It's the lackeys who are coming..."

Sure enough, after a while, a group of people walked into the vegetable market.

Jiang Wancheng and Jingniang quickly turned sideways and half-covered their veiled faces with handkerchiefs.

The crowd was crowded, and screams came from the front: "Master, spare me, spare me, I will make up for it tomorrow..."

"No, don't hit my dad——"

"Go away! You untouchables, if you don't pay the taxes tomorrow, I will sell this girl of yours!"

Immediately afterwards, another stall was lifted, and then there were screams again and again.

"Stall tax?" Jiang Wancheng asked in a low voice.

Jing Niang: "More than that. All the selling fees need to be paid 60%."

Jiang Wancheng was speechless. How else could these people selling vegetables make money?

No wonder, when she just bought vegetables and meat, she clearly noticed that all the prices here were much higher than those in Qingyang Town, but all the vendors selling vegetables, regardless of men, women, old and young, were all sallow and thin, looking malnourished. look.

Because most of the money falls into the government's pockets.

All the way to collect taxes and payment, the originally peaceful and lively market was turned into a mess.

As soon as these officials left, Jiang Wancheng and Jingniang left the place immediately.

"You'll be fine from now on. It's better not to come to this market in person. It's very dangerous."

Jing Niang has grown up in Fujun County since she was a child, and has long been used to this battle.

Seeing Jiang Wancheng so nervous, he covered his lips and chuckled: "Are you scared? Don't worry, although they are all bullshit, they don't bother ordinary people like us. I just pity those vendors, the prices are too high, No one is buying it. The price is low, and I can’t get two pence from it.”

"It's all these dog officials' fault. In fact, it's not just the vegetable vendors. Anyone who opens a shop and does business in Fujun, who doesn't have a few layers of skin peeled off by them every year?"

"Especially for every county magistrate who came here, we helped them to stay away from the emperor. No one cared about them, so we fed them all until they were fat and left the treasury full."

Jiang Wancheng sighed, feeling annoyed.

In fact, in which era was it not the same?

It's just that people in this era have a harder time.

After returning to Wutong Lane without any danger, Jiang Wancheng immediately put what happened just behind him and started cooking.

Today, it was finally her turn to make the decision in the kitchen.

Two nuns wanted to help, and Jiang Wancheng was not polite, so he asked one to focus on cooking the pot and the other to help pick vegetables.

First, Jiang Wancheng planned today's menu.

Roasted tofu with minced meat.

Konjac shochu duck.

Braised pork ribs with lettuce.

Sauce big bone.

Stewed radish sausage.

Fried bean sprouts and dried tofu.

Fried peanuts.

Steamed seabass.

Brown sugar glutinous rice dumplings.

Fried zucchini.

Sweet and Sour Pork.

Vegetarian fried eggplant.

A total of twelve dishes, including one dessert, is indeed enough work.
