Chapter 15 The So-Called Problem
Before dawn the next day, Liu Ming took advantage of the night to wash up, and the sleeping little Yiluo on his back rode to the town in a carriage.
The horses here are much taller than the earth, and the bones of the face are similar to those of scorpions, with a square face, and two horns on the forehead that are turned outwards as a weapon of battle. The name is also very apt, called the scorpion horse, an omnivore, which is a tool used by ordinary civilians to travel.
As for the aristocracy, they domesticated high-level magical beasts as mounts to pull carts.
Liu Ming hugged Xiao Yiluo tightly, the road outside was uneven, and the light rain that fell a few hours ago formed puddles on the road, and the wheels always had to be bumpy when they passed, and it was not tiring to shake and sway.
"Liu Ming, bear with me, this road is indeed difficult to walk. ”
"It's okay, Uncle Foss, just take care of yourself, with me, little Ilo is fine. Liu Ming smiled in response, and the coachman who drove the horse nodded, and drove the scorpion horse forward, and only when he reached the town did the sky show a hint of iridescent.
"It's here. Uncle Foss tightened the rope, Liu Ming got out of the car with little Yiluo in his arms, and discussed with Uncle Foss that after meeting here the next evening, he put on a cloak and entered the city, with four small sachets hanging around his waist.
Songshi Town, the first town that Liu Ming came to in another world, huge stone bricks are stacked into a city wall, extending nearly a thousand meters on both sides, and the word 'convex' surrounds the entire city, leaving only the front and rear doors for people to enter and exit.
Under the city gate more than 20 meters high, Liu Ming looked short, looked up at the sun in the distance, and before the city gate opened, he found a place to sit down, Xiao Yiluo rubbed his eyes and woke up, and asked, "Where is this?"
"Where do you say this?" Liu Ming said with a smile, took out his portable kettle and handed it over, Xiao Yiluo took a sip of cold water and came to his senses, and walked around with his mouth open.
"Town! It's Songshi Town, right?" said Xiao Yiluo excitedly, the last time he came was three years ago, and he went to the town with the old man to sell medicinal herbs.
"Well, don't run around. In addition to helping the village purchase goods this time, we also had to sell some handicrafts from our aunts, and the task was very arduous, and we would be miserable if we couldn't sell them all. Liu Ming said, Xiao Yiluo nodded seriously, and wrapped his arms around Liu Ming's side to the side.
When the sun had risen completely, and the gates slowly cracked, two soldiers in armor yawned and walked out, and when they saw someone waiting outside, they went up and asked, "Where are you? What are you doing in Songshi Town?"
"Honorable lord, we are the villagers of Theyi Village, go to the town to exchange for some daily necessities, and behind us are our handicrafts, are you interested in taking a look?" Liu Ming stepped forward and complimented, and the few copper coins in his hand were stuffed into the hands of the two of them.
"What do you mean, insulting the soldiers of our kingdom!" the two men were furious, raising their spears in their hands.
"No, no, no, for the sake of the kingdom, the two of them got up early and stayed here in the dark, and their dedication and dedication moved our two brothers and sisters, and they deliberately let the two adults find a time to rest and drink a glass of milk to relax. As he spoke, Liu Ming stuffed a few more copper coins, and the two soldiers smiled and patted Liu Ming's shoulder.
The problems that money can solve are not called problems, and the so-called problem is that the money is not in place.
"Good boy, your handicrafts look good, go and sell them by the Heroes' Pool, it should be our two brothers' turn to patrol there at noon, it shouldn't be a big problem." One of the soldiers laughed, and Liu Ming hurriedly thanked him.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go in. If you don't talk about the village, I can't remember that there is this town on the edge of the forest, and it took a lot of time to get up so early. ”
"Alas, the village is poor, there is no way. Fortunately, the coachman of Baron Connie's family had been resting in the village for the past two days, and we had a chance to come up. I'm going to trouble him to send us back tomorrow. Liu Ming replied.
"Oh, old Foss, a good old man. ”
Liu Ming chatted casually for a while, and then pulled the unhappy little Yiluo into the city, followed by the scorpion pulling the goods.
"What's the matter, little Iro. Liu Ming squatted down and gave her a brain meltdown.
"Grandpa gave us eighty copper coins, and now you've spent sixteen, and after grandpa's things are bought, Yiluo's toys will be gone!" Xiao Yiluo said unhappily, Liu Ming smiled bitterly.
If you don't give this opening fee, let alone sixteen copper coins, the goods behind you will also be recovered by them because they are involved in illegal sales. It's better to be honest with these two little ghosts and let yourself in.
This is not the village of Theyi, which can make a mess of itself.
"It's just money, you can make it!" Liu Ming comforted.
Last time I came, my grandfather only sold a little something, but this time there were only two of us, maybe we couldn't sell anything, and I was blamed by my uncles and aunts when I went back. Little Yiluo was unhappy and beat Liu Ming.
"Alright, don't be a tantrum. Liu Ming took out a few copper coins from his clothes and handed them to Xiao Yiluo: "This is what I saved, and I got it when I helped the blacksmith uncle and the village aunt, which is enough for you to buy toys." As for selling things, you Brother Liu Ming haven't been afraid of anyone!"
"I don't want you. Little Yiluo pouted and asked the copper coin to be stuffed back into Liu Ming's hand.
"Then I'll keep it for you first, and if you see anything you like, I'll buy it for you." Liu Ming smiled and rubbed Xiao Yiluo's hair, found a place to rest not far from the city gate, and took out the flatbread brought by the village and nibbled on it.
Liu Ming observed the environment of the town everywhere, the streets in the town are very wide, the stone bricks are scattered on the ground, and the buildings on both sides are also made of stone, but they are much more exquisite, and there are wooden railings and flower decorations outside, which is the architectural style of the Western in the Middle Ages.
There are not many pedestrians on the street, mainly the shops on both sides are tidying up, and scattered adventurers are stretching their waists to wander around.
Liu Ming also began to spread out the goods, the animal skins and herbs returned from hunting, the useful parts of low-level demonic beasts, and the colorful handicrafts were placed on the ground stalls, and sat down on the spot to attract people's attention.
There are also a lot of horse-drawn carriages set up in stalls next to it, and like Liu Ming, they come from nearby villages.
"A piece of excellent quality boar pigskin! No tatters! Two silver coins have been sold!"
"First-order demonic beast blood pupil rabbit eyes, a 50 copper coin, there is a large amount of inventory, pharmacists, magician apprentices are coming!"
"Ore! The ores around the Angus Forest are all sold, the rough stone is 1 copper coin a catty, and the initial withdrawal is 1 silver coin a catty!"
The marching merchants were selling their goods, and many residents and adventurers stopped to watch, and Liu Ming was naturally here, but Liu Ming's way of shouting was a little special, holding a trumpet-shaped wooden cylinder in his hand and stepping on the carriage with one foot.
"Pure handmade works, pure wild animal skins are sold, no need for 100 copper, no need for 50 copper, only 20! That's right, you heard it right, 20 copper coins, exquisite handicrafts to take home! 20 copper coins you can't buy losses, you can't buy fooled! Buy home to coax your wife essential supplies, the handsome guy with a melancholy face on the opposite side come and see, you can go peach blossom luck after buying!"
"That burly big brother, are you interested in buying an animal skin coat? Freshly baked, just peeled and dried the day before yesterday, it is most suitable for a handsome guy with a first-class figure like you, maybe it can attract the admiration of a female magician!"
"That beauty, here is the pollen on the edge of Anslow, the fragrance is light and elegant, and it fits your temperament when you smell it! What? It's too expensive? I'll give you one more bottle for free, and if it's easy to use, I'll go back and buy it! The sword is for the hero, and the perfume is for the beauty, I admit this loss-making deal, who called you so beautiful!"
With the help of a simple version of the megaphone, Liu Ming's voice is loud and unique, coupled with the sales method from the earth, Liu Ming quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers, and seventy percent of the goods in the village were sold at once.
The two soldiers at the city gate heard that it was so lively inside, thinking that someone was making trouble, but when they turned around, they found that it was Liu Ming, shrugged their shoulders and continued to garrison.
Liu Ming is not stupid, he uses the money he earns to buy some fruits and drinks and distribute them to the soldiers on patrol, and the soldiers rarely see sensible businessmen and turn a blind eye to Liu Ming.
Xiao Yiluo only cared about collecting money the whole time, and when a large pile of copper coins were packed in a cloth bag, her mouth couldn't close, this was the first time she had seen so much money.
"Okay! it's so heavy!" Xiao Yiluo's eyes flashed with a golden gleam of wealth, and Liu Ming snatched it and tied up the cloth bag, so that the money could not be exposed, even if there were soldiers guarding the town.
If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves.
"Don't think too much about it, this is the money to buy things for the village!"
"I'll take a look! I'll take a look!" Little Yiluo didn't follow, climbed up Liu Ming's body like a koala, hung around his neck and refused to come down, Liu Ming didn't dare to give the money to the little girl to take care of, first put the funds in his hand, compared the list to buy the materials in the village, and after purchasing some necessary supplies by the way, there were only three silver coins left.
One silver coin is equal to one hundred copper coins, and higher is a gold coin, which is also a decimal scale.
The consumption power of one copper coin is equivalent to one yuan, and the goods of the whole vehicle are about to be sold, and Liu Ming only got 20 silver coins, deducting the cost of materials, and there is not much money left.
Looking for a custodian to take care of the horses and goods, Liu Ming pulled Xiao Yiluo to visit Songshi Town, bought a lot of food for the little girl along the way, and bought a few iron arrows in the weapon store for backup, and the lethality of wooden arrows was limited.
"Liu Ming! that one!" Liu Ming lowered his head to settle the account, Xiao Yiluo suddenly pulled Liu Ming to the jewelry store, picked up a light blue bun and inserted it on his head, and there were small bells dancing in the wind at the end of the bun, jingling.
"It's so good-looking!" Liu Ming complimented, this bun is quite suitable for Xiao Yiluo.
"Hee-hee!"
"Boss, how much is this?"
"A silver coin, although it is made from the lowest jade mine, has taken a lot of thought. The proprietress smiled, she saw that Liu Ming and Xiao Yiluo were not like the nobles in the city, and kindly prompted.
Xiao Yiluo heard that the bun was so expensive, so he hurriedly took it down and put it away, and looked at it a few times and planned to pull Liu Ming away.
"Don't you like it? Liu Ming laughed, took out a silver coin, and Xiao Yiluo snatched it.
"It's so expensive! I don't want it! A silver coin can buy a lot of things, little Yiluo, little Yiluo don't want such expensive jewelry. "Little Iloh wants to cry.
"Yes, if you can't afford it, don't buy it. Suddenly, a sharp voice came from behind him, sarcastically.
