The two hands crossed into their sleeves, and the three of them walked slowly and leisurely in the market of Dongchengfang, the soles of their shoes stepped on the stone road and made a crisp clattering sound, and the belly also gurgled loudly. It's only been a while before the commotion starts.

Close your eyes and your stomach is ringing, cover your nose, and still sound again, if it weren't for the lack of hands, I really want to plug my ears.

Watching Dasha's saliva flow out happily, okay! Grit your teeth and pay for it! This thief old man deliberately fanned the meat steamed buns in his cage drawer with a fan, and shouted while fanning, 'The fragrance is wafting thousands of miles, delicious and not expensive' You will freeze to death in the winter!

"Uncle, how much does this meat steamed bun cost?" The dog asked with a look of disdain.

"Hey, I said this Xiaolang, you really know how to look, the old man's meat steamed buns, dare to say that this street is the only one, all of them are delicious, this meat filling is porcelain ruthless, you can't stop eating one!"

Seeing that the old man was chattering non-stop, and he had the intention of coming for a few more rounds, the dog hurriedly stretched out his hand and interrupted him: "Uncle, if you don't say a few dollars, we will have to leave!" ”

The old man almost choked on a sudden pause, and gasped peacefully and said: "This little man, you are simply, the old man's meat steamed buns are big, meaty, and only four cents, not expensive, right?" ”

The dog nodded, glanced at the vegetarian steamed bun next to him, and said casually: "What about this vegetarian steamed bun?" ”

The old man replied: "This vegetarian steamed bun only costs two pennies, and the old man can add a lot of meat oil to it, and it is fragrant!" After speaking, he raised his thumb and continued: "This fragrance is not worse than this meat steamed bun!" ”

When the dog heard this, he shook his head with a pretended disbelief on his face and said, "You old man, the vegetarian steamed buns are better than the meat steamed buns, why are you willing to put meat oil in it, don't come to deceive my youth!" ”

When the old man heard this, his eyebrows immediately wrinkled, and he said loudly: "You little man, how could the old man lie to you!" If you don't believe you, try it! As he spoke, he picked up a vegetable steamed bun and handed it to the dog.

The dog hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't want to taste it, you don't coax me to pay for it!" ”

The old man said anxiously: "You little man, I always say that I lied to you, the old man has been setting up a stall in this street for many years, how can he be the merchant who deceives people everywhere!" This steamed bun, the old man doesn't charge you money, you come and try it, did I lie to you! After saying that, he stuffed the steamed bun into the dog's hand.

The dog first took it to the nose and sniffed it, then broke off two pieces and handed them to Dasha and the dog leftovers behind, then looked at the vegetable filling inside, and after reading it, he looked up at the old man and said, "Then I'll taste it?" ”

The old man hugged his arms and puffed out his eyes and said, "You eat!" You gulp and see if it's what the old man said! ”

The dog pinched the steamed bun with two fingers and slowly passed it into his mouth, took a bite gently, and then chewed it carefully, not a big one, two or three bites into the stomach, raised his head and said with a smile on his face: "Uncle, what you always said is right, there is really meat oil in it, the kid misunderstood you!" ”

The old man saw that the dog approved, and raised his forehead and said: "Hey, hey, the little old man's business is Tong Suo's undeceptive, and if you say that you can release it, you will let it go!" ”

The dog hurriedly stretched out his thumb and praised: "Sure enough, it is fragrant!" ”

The old man also nodded with a smile and said, "The fragrance is thousands of miles, delicious and not expensive!" ”

The dog then flattered a few words and said: "The kid just had lunch but was not hungry, just walked on this street and smelled your steamed buns are very fragrant, and now I taste it really good, I don't know how the cooking cake next to it is?" Kid buy three to try! ”

The old man said with a smile on his face: "The old man's skill in kneading cooking cakes is practiced by playing small, and he is ruthless!" No, I only charge you three dollars, how can you taste it! After speaking, he handed over three cooking cakes one after another with a bamboo tong.

The dog hurriedly took it and distributed it to the two people behind, and the cooking cake in his hand was not in a hurry to eat, he took a small bite, squinted his eyes and pretended to taste it seriously, and then swallowed it and stretched out his thumb to praise: "Strength!" Sure enough, it's fragrant for ten miles! ”

The old man took the conversation with a proud face and said loudly: "It's delicious and not expensive!" ”

The dog nodded, gave a salute and said goodbye, turned around and pulled the two of them away slowly, walked out of the distance, turned his head to see that he was far away from the stall, and quickly hid aside to catch his breath.

This is not a beggar's face has been much thinner for a few days, and he actually wants to lose face, and he has no money in his pocket, and he has to be confused if he wants to eat steamed buns.

took a breath, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Dasha staring at him with his eyes and smirking and said, "Brother Da Lang, I want to taste that meat steamed bun!" ”

"Taste a fart, meat steamed buns are so expensive, you think that old man is as stupid as you!" The dog said angrily, "It's good to be able to mix a mouthful of vegetable steamed buns, eat your cooking cakes!" ”

"Eh, I finished eating it early, and I just took a bite of the steamed buns, and I didn't even taste it..."

Looking at Dasha's pitiful eyes, the dog also extinguished his anger and sighed: "Bear with Dasha, when we have money, buy a pot of meat steamed buns for you to eat!" ”

Dasha nodded and stopped talking, only turned his head to stare at the corner of the cookcake in the dog's hand, and the panicked dog leftover hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it with his eyes, and then spread out his hands to show him, and Dasha accepted his fate.

This time in order to avoid this situation again, whenever they encountered a stall selling food, they pinched their noses, and hurried away.

This bazaar is divided into three sections, the front is to sell all kinds of food and play, the middle sells all kinds of things such as cloth clothes and shoes, salt, wooden baskets and bamboo baskets, and then there are all kinds of large things, board cars, live pigs and sheep, the signboards, flags and curtains are floating all over the street.

This street is only two or three hundred meters, and the masons that the dog is looking for are all at the end of the street, and as soon as I walked here, I saw a 30-year-old man wearing a red scarf and a green coat, sitting in front of a wooden pavilion, which was particularly conspicuous. This man and dog know that he is the tooth man who manages this market, and the tooth man is of course from the tooth shop.

Yaxing is similar to the current intermediary, but in the Song Dynasty, its status and rights were very high, thanks to the prosperous commercial trade in the Song Dynasty, the social status and rights of merchants have improved.

In the private market transactions, the dental bank plays an important role in "evaluating prices" and "trading with trade", and controlling the market and managing commerce on behalf of the government.

Later, by virtue of the privileges in his hands, the scope of his business was expanded from introducing buyers and sellers to buying and selling goods on behalf of merchants, paying and storing money on behalf of merchants, transporting goods, setting up warehouses for storing goods, collecting commercial taxes on behalf of the government, and so on. In the market transaction, the wholesale trading of most commodities must go through the hands of the tooth shop, and some of the tooth shops here are even set up as government-run 'official teeth'.

The tooth shop is divided into a number of industries according to different industries, including 'cloth shop', 'carriage shop', 'pork shop' and so on. The masons that the dog was looking for were behind the wooden pavilion, and a few men of all ages and young gathered on the side of the road, chatting in groups of three or five, and when a hired person arrived, they would hula and talk to him.

The man sitting at the wooden table is called Zhou Ye, and he is responsible for things such as intermediate guarantees, so as not to give money after finishing the work, or not working after receiving money. Of course, people are not guaranteed in vain, after all, there is a risk, so you have to draw a part in it, depending on the situation, one or two percent of a certain party, some black-hearted tooth people will eat both,

Entering the crowd, even asked a few people to tell people about their project quantity, some offered two days of construction, the cost of one hundred and twenty wen, some only one hundred and sixty wen, heard the dog shook his head again and again, a middle-aged man in front of him interjected: "Xiaolang, brother's craftsmanship is very good, to ensure that your shed is strong, if you hire the elder brother, the ten deed tax elder brother in front of Zhou Ye can come out." ”

The dog on the side hurriedly waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't hire you, but the boy pays too little wages!" ”

A round-faced man on the side listened and asked, "Little brother, how much do you have to pay?" ”

The dog said embarrassedly: "The kid only has sixty wen, I don't know which big brother can go?" ”

When everyone heard this, they shook their heads and said: "This money is only enough for one day's wages, but it takes two days for your job, and the petty officials will add more!" ”

The dog sighed and said: "It's not that I don't add it, it's because I am shy and have no money to add, and someone can pick it up if the kid has ten more yuan?" ”

After hearing this, everyone dispersed, and a thin-faced man said reluctantly: "Little brother, if you hire two idlers, it is enough, but it is not enough to find a craftsman, how about taking it for an extra fifty yuan?" ”

The dog hurriedly said: "The boy's shed doesn't need to be too good, as long as it can shelter from the wind and rain!" ”

The thin-faced man shook his head and stopped talking, just a middle-aged man in brocade clothes came behind him, saying that he was looking for five or six craftsmen.

With a wry smile, he saluted the tooth man from a distance, and the man returned the salute with a fist, and the dog turned around and walked out.

Standing at the noisy and lively street, looking at the flow of people shouting loudly and bargaining in a low voice, he sighed for a long time, it was really difficult to do without money, so he had to go to the Xicheng market to call two idlers to come, and set up a makeshift at will.

Big feet drove away, the two people followed closely, there was nothing to see along the way, and now Yuchuan County is still a little lively in the market of Dongchengfang, and it will be changed to another appearance when it goes out of the street.

Deserted and rarely meet a few people, now this day is still running outside, mostly some poor people begging for a living, wearing a tattered clothes, the cold wind blows, the broken patches on the body are also shaking around, the breeze drilled into the hole, and finally covered a little hot, and ran away in an instant. He cursed a few words casually, and quickly pulled his clothes tightly, and quickly left against the wall.

The one-man tall adobe wall will not stop much of the cold wind, but will raise a burst of sand and dirt everywhere, and you will eat a bite if you don't pay attention.

Covering his nose with one hand, holding his head with the other, he bent down and shouted and rushed in, one foot high and one foot low just ran forward, only to hear a 'cave pass', and hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see the big fool grinning his head and sitting in a pile of adobe bricks, it turned out that this fool knocked down a corner of the courtyard wall.

Hearing a question from the house, they hurriedly shouted to the dog, and the two of them picked up the fool and hurriedly ran away!

Fortunately, if you run fast, if you are slow and are caught, you must lose some copper coins.

After the sweet water well, I came to this messy Xichengfang, except for the stupid fool who didn't stingy and walked around like no one, the dog and the dog were very nervous, their eyes looked around, worried that they would meet the Zhang brothers again, the last time the matter was not over, you must be careful!

Coincidentally, just after walking a few steps, I saw a few idlers squatting in front of an adobe house in the distance, and the most familiar one of them was very familiar!

When the dog got closer, it turned out to be the stuffy gourd king who met in Zhang Yuanwai's mansion, and it was not a stuffy gourd! The others kept talking, but this man squatted on the ground, staring blankly at the street, and did not talk to others, and the people next to him only thought he was a wooden man, and did not talk to him.

said hello from afar, walked over and squatted next to him and said to Wang Yong: "Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for a while, are you doing well?" ”

Wang Yong: "Yes. ”

"You're here yourself!"

Wang Yong nodded, this time he didn't even have to say a word.

"Why, didn't you go to work today?"

Wang Yong was bored for a while, nodded and said, "Hmm! ”

Forehead...

This day is considered to be dead, if he hadn't known his temperament, the dog would have left angrily.

I didn't know what to talk to him about for a while, but I suddenly remembered his chatter, so I asked.
