Chapter 40 Selling Rice Dumplings and Playing Cotton

After the people from the construction department left, Wang Lanling asked Bugong and Tian Yuanfang to go back to work in the department, and he still had something to do in the afternoon.

If someone is looking for themselves, Bugong is also better to come and find themselves.

Wang Lanling's subordinates all have strong foot strength, and it doesn't take much time to run around the county seat.

In the era when there were no mobile phones, people were doing the things that piggybacked on.

hung up the sign of "Something to go out", Wang Lanling did not lock the door, and set up a few door panels to go out to eat with Lei A.

The security of the county is still very good, although the court often kills people, but as long as they do not commit crimes, they still live very comfortably.

Although the problem of mulberry wood is solved by simple and violent beheading, the reasons are actually very complex.

The empire is indeed too ruthless, but Wang Lanling didn't dare to beep, and he didn't want to pretend to be a reasonable guest, anyway, things passed like that.

As long as ordinary people don't destroy important places such as railways and reservoirs, the people of Six Doors will not pay attention to these little things.

The people of the Six Gates are chasing Jiang Yang's thieves, and it is another group of people who supervise the officials, and the main mind of the Dog Emperor is still on the matter of suppressing officials.

At this time, it was close to noon, and the street was a little more lively, and three or four pedestrians could be seen on one street.

Many of the houses in the neighborhood are ordinary residential buildings, mainly two-story and one-story small bungalows, not all the houses on the street are shops, and it is not so prosperous here.

There are those who repair farm tools, sell food and spices, collect medicines, sell furniture, and play cotton, which are basically places that can be used in ordinary times.

There are also coffins, paper money, candles, and urns, which are deliberately separated from the next place a few meters away.

Wang Lanling walked more than ten meters and came to a stall selling snacks on the side of the street.

"Something to eat." Wang Lanling shouted.

The people nearby also took the initiative to retreat because of Wang Lanling's clothes, and the old people and women who were originally basking in the sun and chatting outside the house also returned to the house with their children.

"Wait, someone!"

A girl's voice came from the shop, and after a few seconds, a girl in a blue padded jacket came out from behind the curtain in the house.

The girl wore two long braids, the kind of rustic braids, and the two braids were waist-length.

But it's very short, about one meter four or five.

The women here are basically 1.5 meters tall and average, and few can reach more than 1.5 meters.

Height is related to genetics, but the proportion is not large, and it is more of a nutritional problem.

If you eat well, you will naturally grow taller.

The people of the empire will not raise their average height until the next generation, especially Heishui County, a small county town that has just enjoyed a good life for a few years, and there is still a long way to go.

Rea's height is close to the height of a modern woman, almost 1.7 meters tall, and she is very eye-catching here.

The girl came out and saw Lei A and Wang Lanling, and after seeing that they were officials, she came over cautiously and said, "Daguan, what do you want to eat?" ”

"What do you have here?" Wang Lanling looked at this, there were no signs or recipes, just some tables and chairs, and an iron pot with a firewood stove.

The girl said: "There are bamboo dumplings, wheat fermented seeds, floating tea, and fried beans." ”

"Let's have two bowls of floating tea, add zongzi." Wang Lanling took out a dime from his pocket and said, "Is it enough?" ”

The girl nodded, "Enough is enough, five cents a bowl, one bowl plus three zongzi." ”

A dime can buy three catties of wheat, and if it is exchanged for rice, it will cost more.

The price of goods in this era mainly depends on cost and technology, and manpower is not valuable, which is very different from the price of modern society.

Basically, the business is done with their own shops, or they don't need the store, otherwise it will be too difficult to add rent.

Being able to earn a point is a point, and being able to exchange energy for money is actually something that many people want but can't.

The girl did not collect the money, but went to serve the rice dumplings first.

Eat first and pay later, there is no such thing as paying first and then eating in this era.

Sweet water was boiling in the iron pot, Wang Lanling looked at the girl who was busy working in the pot, turned to Lei A and said, "Sit down." ”

Lei A sat opposite Wang Lanling and looked at the girl who was working.

The girl felt very strange when she listened to Wang Lanling's Mandarin, but after seeing Lei A looking at her, she quickly went back to the house to get zongzi.

It didn't take long for the girl to come out with a few zongzi in her arms and began to unwrap the zongzi under the leaf clothes of the zongzi.

The rice dumplings here are all very large, more than fifteen centimeters in length, and they are very affordable.

However, for Wang Lanling, ordinary people basically eat at home, and this is mainly for some people who come to the county to buy things.

If you can't sell out, you can eat it yourself, and there is basically no consumption except for strength and matches.

What is not allowed to be cut is the cash crop of mulberry, ordinary trees are not taken care of, large households are burning coal, ordinary people have no problem going to the mountains to cut firewood, there is no such mountain tyrant here.

There used to be, but it was not called Shanba Chaba, it was called Wulin Sect.

Emperor Yanwu cracked down on the Wulin sect, successfully nationalized the various mountains, and forbade these people to gather and return to the mountains and forests to live in seclusion.

That's why there are so many martial arts masters on the street, Wang Lanling looked at the man who came out with the girl, it was obvious that this was another martial arts master.

It's really unlucky, you can meet this kind of person anywhere, but you can imagine how dangerous these dog officials were when they didn't have a machete on their necks before.

Wang Lanling felt that if Emperor Yanwu hadn't appeared, maybe he would have become a Qing official, because at that time, he would accidentally offend some martial arts master and be assassinated.

"This official, my daughter is not sensible, she doesn't want money, she doesn't need to give money." After Wei Wuyi came out, he quickly apologized.

Wang Lanling is a little strange, even if Dongfang Wei eats, he gives money, what is this person so nervous about?

However, when he thought of his dog-legged Zitian Yuanfang, Wang Lanling realized that he often ate without paying for this goods, so let these vendors intensify a certain consciousness.

"You're welcome, give money for dinner, it's a matter of course, my name is Wang Lanling, I bought the cloth shop house in front of me today, and I will be neighbors in the future, let's understand each other, it's not easy to do business, and the money still has to be collected."

Wang Lanling is not bad for this dime, and his attitude towards these martial arts masters and his own subordinates is not the same.

Wei Wuyi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, this kid didn't look at his daughter's handsomeness, and he wanted to buy it as a concubine.

"Your Excellency, you are polite, it is my honor that you can come to eat with me, this little thing is not valuable, you can eat as much as you like, no money."

Wang Lanling was very annoyed by this kind of conversation, and said directly: "I'm here to eat, not to talk to you!" Bring the food and go about yourselves. ”

That is, you can speak so hard when you wear an official uniform, and if you speak so hard without wearing an official uniform, you will be beaten.

Wei Wuyi quickly got busy with his daughter.

Wang Lanling simply ate a zongzi and couldn't eat it, he ate a lot in the morning.

Rea is about the same, and neither of them eats much.

Putting down a dime, Wang Lanling went to Wangjiabao by himself.

Lei A was sitting and waiting outside the shop where he was playing cotton on the street, watching the two husband and wife martial arts masters play cotton there.

The man is practicing his fingers and can quickly pick out dirt from a bag of cotton.

The woman is a little dwarf less than 1.5 meters, and she has practiced the kung fu of the thousand-handed Guanyin type, called Eighty Serial Hands!

The hands dance like two big fans, airtight, and can catch darts with bare hands, but they can't stop the bullets fired from the barrels of the rows.
