Chapter 250: Acting
Slowly lined up, even if he didn't pay much attention to it before, Zhou Huaiyu could see that this time the inspection in Qiangcheng was much stricter than before, Zhou Huaiyu couldn't help but secretly speculate, was it because of the things that happened to them a few days ago?
Seeing Zhao Jing's changes, although Zhou Huaiyu knew in his heart that they would definitely enter the city smoothly, he still couldn't help but be a little nervous, but his eyes flickered and he was stopped by a person who seemed to be the team leader.
Zhou Huaiyu secretly screamed in his heart, and began to be more nervous, and hurriedly looked at Zhao Jing, Zhao Jing hurriedly stepped forward, took out a small piece of silver from his arms with a smile, and stuffed it into the adult's hand, "My lord, the little mother-in-law is the first time to come out of the village, I haven't seen the world, don't be surprised if I collide with the adult, the little one will lead this mother-in-law away, don't dare to delay the adult's errand!" ”
The man shook the silver in his hand, and then asked Zhou Huaiyu lukewarmly, "Where did it come from?" ”
Zhou Huaiyu followed Zhao Jing's words and acted, and because she was a little nervous, she acted more like: "Plum Blossom Village Di!" And the voice was still in tune, and when I heard it, I knew that it was a countryman, and I couldn't even speak well in the city.
"What are you doing in town?"
Zhou Huaiyu continued to answer: "Find a doctor, see your father and mother!" ”
Zhao Jing began to take over at this time, first sighed heavily, and then said: "The parents at home are seriously ill, and the little ones can't help it, adults, do you know where there is a miracle doctor?" ”
Looking at Zhao Jing's performance like this, Zhou Huaiyu almost laughed, his lips pursed, but he looked like he was going to cry, so Zhao Jing hurriedly comforted: "Don't cry, don't cry, there are many doctors in the city, there must be a miracle doctor who can cure my father's illness!" ”
The official didn't notice anything wrong, and he still had the silver of other people's filial piety in his hand, so he simply waved his hand and let him go.
Qiangcheng is surrounded by mountains, only in the west there is a gentle place, so the city gate of Qiangcheng faces west, the whole town is in an east-west trend, there is only one east-west main street in the city, whether it is the Beiyue people or the Dali people, all those who do business are on this main street.
Although North Vietnam and the Great Calendar have been fighting for many years, for the businessmen living at the junction of the North and the Great Calendar, the most annoying thing is undoubtedly the war, because once the war is fought and the city gate is sealed, they businessmen have no business to do, and for businessmen, race and national boundaries are not important, the important thing is to be able to make money!
Sure enough, as soon as they entered the city gate, Zhao Shun and the two immediately separated, and Zhao Shun, as a coachman, naturally wanted to drive the carriage away.
Zhao Jing and Zhou Huaiyu walked on the street, "Are we going to see the shop?" ”
Zhou Huaiyu didn't forget the excuse Zhao Jing made, thinking that the two of them were wandering on this street just to see the shops, so they only cared about seeing where there were empty storefronts, and they didn't even bother to pay attention to the delicious and fun on the street.
But Zhao Jing said: "It doesn't matter, Xiaosi, they will enter the city first, at this time Zhao Shun has already followed the trail to meet them, and when he finds a foothold, he will come to inform us, let's just go shopping and watch the excitement." ”
Zhao Jing said it easily, so he also infected Zhou Huaiyu, no longer worried, and began to go to the stalls on the street twice. But this time, she found that the treatment she received was not as good as in Fuyang City before, at that time, the vendor owner did not greet them warmly and introduce them to this and that, but here, the bosses looked up at them at most, and then sat on the side and leisurely ignored them.
Zhou Huaiyu couldn't figure it out at first, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Jing, and then finally understood.
At that time in Fuyang City, although they were also wearing coarse cloth clothes, as long as Zhao Jing stood there, he was a moving silver pair, white flowers, shining. At this time, Zhao Jing became a swarthy and hunchbacked little old man, she also became a black, thin and shriveled little old woman under the wide clothes, and both of them were dressed in coarse cloth, and they didn't look like people who could buy these snacks and gadgets, so of course the stall owners were not enthusiastic about them.
In addition, Zhou Huaiyu also obviously felt that the bosses in Qiangcheng were very attitude in doing business, which meant that the transactions between the two sides were decisive and bold, paying money with one hand and delivering goods with the other, and they didn't even talk much about it. Perhaps this is also one of the characteristics of Qiangcheng, because the bosses of Qiangcheng have Dali people and North Vietnamese people, and it is inevitable to meet those who have national border and racial restrictions, but everyone has also reached the demand for trading in their hearts, so the business is also done neatly.
Zhou Huaiyu has even begun to think that if they rent a shop, even if it is to hide their identity, they must have to do business, what kind of business will they do when the time comes? If it weren't for being on the street, Zhou Huaiyu felt that it would be better to be careful, I am afraid that he would have already pestered Zhao Jing to ask questions and look forward to his future life.
The two of them wandered aimlessly like this, at this time, Zhou Huaiyu had already used the reason of "exploring the market" to convince herself, and looked more seriously than just now, and then she was pulled by Zhao Jing, and as soon as she made her eyes, she immediately understood, put away her eyes, and honestly followed Zhao Jing around and around, came to a corner of North Street, and saw Zhao Shun and Zhao Xiaosi and others who were separated not long ago.
"Master, this shop is surrounded by businessmen from other places, so it won't look dazzling." If they are new to the city, if they suddenly squeeze into a fixed small group, they will inevitably attract the attention of the people around them, but if they live in a place where the flow of people is fast and everyone does not know each other, then no one will care about anyone, and naturally they will not attract attention.
Zhou Huaiyu nodded, and secretly said that Zhao Shun and the others deserved to be old rivers and lakes, and the place they were looking for was really good.
In fact, Zhao Shun also has another meaning, that is, because there are many people here, everyone comes from various places, and people are constantly changing, so they can get more news, after all, compared to ordinary people, the few people present, including Zhou Huaiyu, all belong to the category of deaf and clear-sighted, if there is any movement around, they can also notice it at the first time.
Although there is only one main street in Qiangcheng, after all, the shops on the street are limited, and the rent of the shops on the street is too expensive, only those big merchants have capital, and some small merchants can only find a relatively suitable shop in the depths of the street divided into north and south by the street, and start their own small business.
Zhao Jing came forward, negotiated the rent with everyone in this shop, and then explained a few words to Zhao Shun and others, and led Zhou Huaiyu into the small courtyard.
Looking at this mini courtyard composed of three rooms, Zhou Huaiyu nodded with satisfaction.
