Chapter 108: Shopping

Time flickered, and another night passed.

All the seriously ill people, though still looking a little vague in their footsteps, were able to walk freely, and those who were less ill were no different from ordinary people, so from dawn, under the reprimand of the overseers and soldiers, the gallop began again after a few days of rest.

"Have you remembered the names, styles, and properties of these medicines?" There were seven or eight kinds of grass roots and vines in front of Chen Xu, all of which were carefully explained to Yibu and the three apprentices.

"Thank you Xiao Langjun, we have already memorized it!" The healer and the apprentice bowed together.

"That's good, you collect more of these herbs on weekdays, slice and dry them for later use, once there are symptoms of summer plague and diarrhea, you can quickly heal them and don't slack off, and you should also prepare more wound medicines, prepare more clean linen cloth, wash them and cook them thoroughly to dry them to bandage the wounds, remember not to cover them with soil, and this Houttuynia cordata is a good medicine for clearing heat, and it is everywhere in the wasteland, so you can let the people boil water and drink it every day, and chew it after washing......"

Chen Xu admonished him earnestly for a long time, and talked in detail about some of the daily food hygiene and first aid knowledge that he could think of in the future life, and then got into the carriage and left with Jiangbei Pavilion.

In such an era, everything can only be done to the best of their ability, as for what they can do, only God knows, because under such heavy labor, there is not enough to eat, and it is all to talk about health and hygiene, and we can only pray that these people are hard enough to carry it for three months and return home alive.

Wancheng, the seat of Nanyang County, is the Wancheng District of Nanyang City in later generations.

A towering city rises from the river, surrounded by thousands of people, and there is an endless stream of traders driving horses and cattle from the south to the north, and from time to time there are messengers who ride horses along the wide avenue and rush into the city gates, and around the city, large fields of wheat are rolling, and countless farmers are harvesting summer grain, many of which have used hand-cranked threshers.

Seeing a group of soldiers escorting the carriage, the soldiers at the city gate did not stop them, and even saluted with their fists, which made Chen Xu, who was sitting in the carriage, sigh with emotion, this VIP treatment is really different from ordinary people.

After entering the city, looking at Chen Xu sitting in the carriage and looking around with a strange face, Jiangbei Pavilion thought that Chen Xu was a hillbilly who had never seen the world in that Xiaohe Village, so he said with a smile: "Wancheng is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it is a place where merchants gather in the east, west, north and south, so it is one hundred and ten times more prosperous than Zhizhi County, but compared to the capital Xianyang, it is much worse, he can go to Xianyang with me to see the world, that is called prosperity and wealth!" ”

Chen Xu pursed his lips slightly, but he still hurried to thank him.

He naturally hadn't seen Wancheng and Xianyang more than 2,000 years ago, so it was reasonable to be full of novelty, but to say that he hadn't seen the world, he could definitely say that he had never seen the world.

Lao Tzu has seen it in later generations, and you can't imagine it if you want to break your brain.

Have you ever seen a car? Have you ever seen an airplane? Have you ever seen a ship? Have you ever seen a skyscraper? Have you ever seen a little uncensored movie with no clothes on?

Has Europe been? Hmph, I haven't been there either!

Chen Xu looked left and right as he walked.

However, a big city is a big city, and naturally it is not the same situation as Pheasant County and Qinghe Town, just in terms of numbers, it can crush a prosperous county-level city in later generations, the streets are full of people, and most of the clothes worn by everyone are neat and clean, although there are beggars in ragged clothes, but after all, they are only a few.

Walking along the central street, Chen Xu slowly found one thing, that is, the shops are very scarce, and occasionally he sees some shops selling grain, salt, pottery and linen, and even the shops of clothes, shoes and hats are almost impossible to see, as for the others, there are no restaurants, restaurants, and inns that specialize in providing accommodation, at most some houses that live in seclusion in the alleys and alleys, which are part-time accommodation and meal services, called foothouses, which means a place to rest and rest.

The group turned around in the city, and finally stopped in a remote street, there is a courtyard here, the gate is hung with two small seal ancient characters of the post house, which is more than 100 square meters wide, and there is a two-story wooden building, there are several carriages parked in the yard, and a few horses are tied in the stable.

"Virtuous nephew, stay in Wancheng for a day today, I will go to meet the county keeper to ask for the people's rations, you can also watch and play in the city, and we will go back to Pheasant County tomorrow morning!"

After a group of people entered, the guards of the post house hurriedly came up to lead the horses, and the accompanying soldiers quickly packed up the horses and carriages.

"Chen Lidian, do you want me to accompany you to the city?"

As soon as Jiangbei Pavilion left, the remaining soldiers immediately came to their senses, and they seemed to be gone all the way, and asked enthusiastically around Chen Xu.

"Of course you want to go shopping, let's go!" Chen Xu tidied up his hair and clothes slightly, and walked out of the post house with the four soldiers.

The first time you come to a big city in ancient times, you naturally want to take a good stroll and see how the ancients lived in the city more than 2,000 years ago.

The streets are bustling with people, bull-takers, horseback riders, cart bearers, and people with various accents coming and going.

Chen Xu wore a shirt and a pair of big shorts, and pigskin sandals, which was out of place with everyone around him and looked extremely weird.

This set of clothes explained to Jiangbei Pavilion that it is cool in summer, in fact, the most important thing is that it is easy to put on and take off, neither belts nor buttons are needed, and the upper and lower ventilation is ventilated, the wind blows in from the two warehouse pipes, and the eggs and chrysanthemums are comfortable and thorough, because they don't wear underwear at all.

There are not many shops on the street, each of them Chen Xu walked in with interest to see, but these shops are not only simple furnishings, the goods are also extremely scarce, there is nothing except a few sacks of coarse salt that sell salt, and the shops that sell pottery have a slightly more variety of goods, but they are also stoneware products, mainly pottery bowls and pots, there are more than ten kinds of utensils, all of which are daily necessities, similar to those seen in Qinghe Town, and the price is also cheap, generally a few dollars to more than ten dollars.

The only woodware shop that Chen Xu looked at was a lot of bamboo and wood products, including bowls, chopsticks, cups and saucers, as well as some pen holders and pen holders, as well as a large number of braided bamboo slips, which surprised him to see a few pieces of paper, which made him overjoyed.

The color of these papers is coarse yellow, the surface is rough, and it is thick, which is worse than the paper money burned for the dead in later generations.

I'll go! Chen Xu was dumbfounded.

This kind of paper can't wipe your ass!
