Chapter 276: Chang Wu's Ambition
When he arrived at the place where the number was issued, there were already many people gathered there, and he didn't have the heart to count how many people there were, so he panted and looked at the person who issued the number with his hands on the table.
"Young people have good physical strength, you are still the first person to run here today, but not the first person to arrive, No, you are eighty-seven, this is your brand, keep it safe, with this brand, today you can get a hundred taels of things for nothing, today things are half price, you are equal to two hundred taels, young people are so blessed! Grab the sign and go to the queue over there! ”
The person who sent the number was a little old, probably nagging, and after chattering for a while, he gave the sign to Chang Wu and asked him to line up over there.
Chang Wuhuan's lungs are about to explode, it is not one hundred taels but two hundred taels, he finally has money to ask for a mother-in-law, with an aunt-in-law, he is doing a small business, don't live this life of deceiving the owner and stealing the west.
He couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, he was distracted when he was queuing in the past, and he forgot how to smile on his face, he felt that his expression must be the same as the second fool at the end of the street.
But it didn't matter, he would have two hundred taels of silver, and the second fool only had two broken bowls, and he didn't even have tiles to cover the roof, and he laughed even more stupidly at the thought of this.
It's not a little different from him in the same workshop with him, but it's only for a short time. The remaining dozen or so brands were snatched up by those who had horses.
One by one, they hung their heads and said harsh words sourly, expressing doubts about impartiality, they must have been operated in the dark, otherwise how could these people with horses covet this little money?
But after walking a few steps, they saw Chang Wu smirking in a row among hundreds of people, and after walking a few more steps, they saw the veterinarian who treated the livestock in the next room, this guy has no meal on weekdays, how can there be a horse?
Seeing this, they went over and asked, "Veterinarian Zhi didn't expect to see you here, did you come on horseback?" ”
The veterinarian squinted at them and said proudly, "It's too late, right?" ”
"But it's not like that, why do you say that so many people are riding horses all of a sudden?"
"Hehe, so that you bastards know that eight out of ten people here have borrowed horses, and it is not difficult to borrow a horse if you are kind to people on weekdays. You spend your days messing around, not to mention borrowing horses, it's hard to get there, right? I won't tell you, but the door is open, and I'm going in first. ”
Veterinarian Zhi is often ridiculed by this group of people because of his sloppiness, and today he found an opportunity to say a few words to them, and he originally wanted to preach, but when he saw the street door open, he didn't bother to pay attention to this group of bastards, and walked inside with the crowd.
The bastards were annoyed, they didn't expect that these people were actually borrowed horses, regretting that they shouldn't have been prodigal on weekdays, they missed the opportunity to make a fortune, and they didn't have a penny in their pockets.
Chang Wu is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, there is no mud and debris on the wide street, and he has never seen such a clean street for so many years. There were red lanterns hanging in the streets, and the scent of the clean stalls under the lanterns made his stomach rumble.
He was already hungry after not eating all night, and he wanted to sit down and eat like crazy, but he saw a courteous face, looked at the surrounding atmosphere, and finally touched his only ten cents, and walked away shyly. How can eating in this place be a matter of ten cents?
"Little brother, I see you came here overnight, right? Hungry, right? Do you want to have a bowl of lo mein? A bowl of noodles costs only five cents. ”
Seeing Chang Wu's embarrassed appearance, the middle-aged man who set up the stall also saw that he was shy, stretched out five fingers, and pointed to the big sea bowl placed on the side.
"It's only five pennies!" Chang Wu exclaimed in surprise, although it was not as expensive as he expected, but five cents was not a lot, and now a bucket of rice was only four cents, how long was a bucket of rice enough for him to eat. But thinking that he would be able to get so much money immediately, he also had the luxury of five big bucks, and shouted at the top of his voice: "The store has a bowl, and the noodles are a little more." ”
"Okay, please sit down, you are the first guest today, and the stall will give you an extra braised egg!" Next time, please take care of Lao Liu and make noodles. ”
The shopkeepers shouted, and at the same time did not forget to advertise themselves, and now that the number of people was gradually increasing, the quiet of the early morning receded, and the cries of bargaining began to be noisy.
When those well-off families arrived, the restaurant tea shop gradually became lively, smelling the food, the unseen objects, and the goods from all over the world gathered in one place, and what to buy looked at the signs to know where to buy.
However, there are some places that are prohibitive, such as the theater today's white fox, the custom workshop, the seafood shop, the strange and obscene skill shop, the glass shop and other places, either I haven't heard of it, or my own consumption level can't reach that point. It's all pointing from afar, and no one dares to go in.
At this time, some staff came out to introduce what these places do, and also guided them to go in for consumption, so that people dared to go in.
However, there are some places that you dare to enter but are not allowed to enter, there is a fenced place in the center of the commercial street, and the plaque reads three big characters - Women's Street,
Not only are there samurai with sharp weapons in the four gates, but there are also soldiers in armor who are constantly patrolling around, men can't get close, they drive them away directly, and those who dare to come over are driven away, and women are different, they can go in directly, and there are maids waiting at the door, and the side is the place to check the gender to prevent people from being confused.
Not a single male creature could be seen in the entire Ladies Market, and even the dog tied to the door was a female dog. Cai Cong personally waited at the south gate, sitting in the north and facing south, and the eldest grandson liked to enter from the south gate, because in the mythical story of Cai Congjiang, the gate of the Jade Emperor's house is the south gate.
Women are not so easy to wait, Cai Cong stood for an hour, and the eldest grandson's brigade came unhurriedly, and half an hour had passed since the time that was promised.
The eldest grandson did not get out of the carriage, and her maid came down first to check with the caretaker of the Ladies Street to see if there was any problem.
The women in this women's street are all palace maids and eunuchs who have retired from the palace, some are homeless, some have no home, in short, they are all poor people, and it is also a kind of happiness to have such a place to retire.
"Congratulations to Niangniang, Xiaochen has been waiting for a long time, Niangniang, please."
Cai Cong said with a smile, the eldest grandson squinted at him, and asked keenly: "What you say, can this palace be understood as you are complaining that this palace is untrustworthy?" ”
"The minister has no such intention, and the minister will never complain for how long the mother will wait, this is a heartfelt word." Cai Cong immediately straightened up and said righteously, and the eldest grandson nodded with satisfaction.
The other ladies laughed, and there were few people who could make the little demon king of the mixed world deflated. Looking at his low appearance always makes people feel refreshed.
Cai Cong didn't attack when he was laughed at, he hummed and chirped in his heart, you just laugh! I'll see how many of your husbands laugh in a moment.
