In the afternoon of the next day, Li Jiqian, who woke up with a hangover, got up. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Sha'er was sitting outside his room, heard a voice in the room, and hurriedly walked in and said, "Big brother is awake." ”

Li Jiqian said "um", picked up his clothes, took a shower, changed his clothes, and then came back again, and asked Li Sha'er with a smile: "Little sister, you are waiting for the eldest brother here, is there something wrong?" ”

Li Sha'er nodded and said, "Yes." Big brother, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, but our family hasn't bought any New Year goods yet, so Big Brother will accompany me to the market outside to buy some New Year goods. ”

Since the official opening of the Shanghai market, a bazaar has been spontaneously formed outside the north and south markets, and it has been selling grain, vegetables and meat at the beginning. Even a businessman cannot go without eating or drinking.

Yun Xi wanted to use these things as export supplies at the beginning, and he could only buy them in Nanshi, but he was advised by the people around him, Yun Xi also felt that with the storage level of this year, vegetables and meat could not be preserved for a long time without pickling, and the grain and vegetables of Nanyang countries were cheaper than Daming, and it was unlikely that these things would be shipped from Daming to resell, so Zhang Yanfang acquiesced to such a thing.

Over time, these spontaneously formed bazaars also secretly sold some of the things that were prescribed to be sold in the southern market. Zhang Yanfang often sent people to check, because the scale was small and the servants were all locals, so he turned a blind eye. Now that the Chinese New Year is over, even the county government has been sealed, so there are a lot of New Year's goods sold in the market.

Li Jiqian said: "You're not afraid that your eldest brother will be recognized? ”

Li Sha'er replied: "If you are recognized in Shanghai, then won't you be recognized when you go to Pingjiang, big brother?" Then how do you go to Pingjiang, big brother? ”

Li Sha'er's idea is: Shanghai is coastal after all, and it is easy to escape, so first test whether Li Jiqian's disguise is useful in Shanghai, and it will be easy to escape if it is exposed in Shanghai.

Li Jiqian also guessed Li Sha'er's thoughts, and said, "Okay, then the eldest brother will accompany you to the bazaar and buy New Year's goods." ”

Li Sha'er asked, "Do you want to wait for sister-in-law?" Didn't my sister-in-law come here this afternoon? ”

Li Jiqian said: "What are you waiting for her to do? Let her clean up the house when she arrives, and wait for us to buy the New Year's goods back. ”

The brother and sister brought a few other people to sell some New Year's goods together.

When I arrived at the bazaar, it was really full of people. Many merchants did not choose to go back, and the merchants of the feudal kingdom could not enter the county seat of Shanghu, so they could only buy things in the markets outside, so there were a lot of people.

Li Jiqian disguised his face, similar to the primary disguise technique, but it was not very clever, and if someone familiar with it could still recognize it.

But apparently the people in the bazaar did not associate him with one of the images of wanted pirates hanging outside the walls of Shanghu, and no one passing by took a second look; Those who had been staring at him for their purchases showed no sign of recognizing him.

Li Sha'er took a group of them and walked around the market for a long time, until the sun was about to set, and all the hands were full of things, before she said, "It's been so long, let's go back." ”

Li Jiqian showed her his hand full of things, and said, "I bought so many things." ”

Li Sha'er glanced at him embarrassedly and said, "I don't think this is the first year that everyone has spent here, so buy more things!" ”

Li Jiqian said: "I'm not saying that you buy a lot of things, but there is one most important thing that you haven't bought!" ”

Li Sha'er asked, "What is it?" ”

Li Jiqian said with a smile: "Of course it's wine!" Didn't you notice that after last night's drink, there wasn't much alcohol at home? I ordered it, I guess I won't have enough to drink tonight, so I'll have to buy some more. ”

Li Sha'er said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph! You know how to drink! ”

Li Jiqian smiled: "It's not that I know how to drink, but many of us know how to drink." ”

Li Sha'er snorted and said, "Whatever you want." Then he stretched out his hand to take what he was holding from Li Jiqian's hand, and went back with the others. The other two people who also liked to drink also handed their contents to the others and took them back with them.

Li Jiqian quietly asked a person next to him and said, "In this bazaar, only the place you said sells wine?" ”

One said, "Anyway, I only know which place." The Ming Kingdom is very strict with the brewing of wine, and it is also strict with the export of wine, which is very difficult to find. ”

Li Jiqian said: "Then where to buy it." ”

A group of three people walked towards a shop. In a few moments, they were where they came to terms with them. On the surface, this shop sells grain, and the store is full of grain, but even the local servants don't know that they also sell alcohol at home, and it is very hidden.

As soon as a person who followed Li Jiqian walked into the shop, he shouted: "Brother Xu, come out, there is business coming." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a man who looked to be in his fifties and had gray hair walked out. As soon as he came out to take a look, he said, "What, Brother Dai, are you here again?" Didn't you just sell you quite a few five days ago? Gone today? ”

The person known as Brother Dai was called Dai Zong, and said, "Aren't there a few more people!" So it's not enough, go up to you and buy some more. ”

Brother Xu looked at Li Jiqian and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Dai Zong said: "This is our eldest brother, who only came from the sea in the past few days. Your own people, don't worry. ”

Brother Xu listened to Dai Zong's assurance, so he took them into the back room, turned on a switch again, walked into a secret room, and then uncovered a cover, revealing the bamboo tube containing wine hidden underneath. Suddenly, the aroma of wine overflowed, and the other person who followed Li Jiqian was about to start flowing.

Brother Xu said: "There are only sixty bamboo tubes in total, how many do you want?" ”

Dai Zong said: "We all want it! You send a guy back with us, put all the bamboo tubes on the cart, cover them, and then put food on them to cover them. We also bought the grain. ”

"It's a bit dangerous to say that this is usually the case, but now the servants have also gone home for the New Year, and no one has checked it, no problem."

Brother Xu thought for a moment and said, "Okay!" But since you've bought them all, the price is a little more expensive than usual. As he spoke, he held out three fingers.

Dai Zong suddenly said dissatisfied: "Brother Xu, it's wrong for you to do this, we are also old customers, why do you increase the price?" ”

Brother Xu said: "Usually, because you buy more, the price is cheap for you. Now for the Chinese New Year, merchants from vassal countries like you have to drink a lot of alcohol, and they don't worry about selling at all, and if they still sell at the usual price, I'm not worth it. ”
