Chapter 53: Rushing to the Market
Chapter 53: Rushing to the Market
Hongshan Township catches up with the market every nine days, that is, on the nineth, nineteenth, and twenty-ninth of each month, there is a grass market to set up a stall in Hongshan Township, and the place where the stall is set up is the original Hu family's artisan tenant farmer settlement, which is called Hongshan Town.
The fixed merchants in Hongshan Town are the craftsmen who are now Xu Qing. There is a blacksmith shop, all kinds of farm tools and everything, he can fight, he is skilled, and he hunts in his spare time. There is a tailor shop, which also sells cloth, and also collects the purses embroidered by the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law in the nightlight. There is a carpenter shop, and Xu Qing's chair is made by him, and of course there are Xu Qing's pictures. In addition, there are seven or eight dry goods stores, selling chicks and so on.
Although it is much worse than the pedestrian street and commercial street of later generations, it is a street after all. Every street is mine, Xu Qing thought intoxicatedly.
When the ninth day of the new year arrived, Xu Qing took Xu Qi's little girl out to visit the market, and he wanted to see what his street was like. As for the other women, alas, Xu Qing can't take it anymore. It turned out that after Xun Xue'er got married, she could no longer get used to seeing a group of maids in Xu Qing's backyard doing nothing, so she organized them to make some shoes, weaving cloth and other female celebrities every day, and became more and more courageous as a hostess. Xu Qing didn't care, he was getting more and more moisturized when he shook his hands.
Early in the morning, the crowd gathered, most of the people came to buy things, pick onions and garlic, write and tell fortunes, and all kinds of small businesses also arrived at the market. Xu Qing and Xu Qi changed their linen clothes and blended in the crowd in order to avoid everyone being afraid.
A table was placed at the entrance of the bazaar, and bowls were placed on the table, and those who entered the bazaar paid a penny, and those who brought goods had to draw a little of the goods, and some brought living animals to be slaughtered on the spot, and they wanted to give a good piece of meat. Slaughtering on the spot is not to show the truth like in later generations, but to have poor preservation techniques in ancient times, for freshness.
For Xu Qi, who has visited the metropolis of Luoyang, this kind of small bazaar, which is all practical items, is naturally not eye-catching, looking left and right, and only interested in a fortune teller.
"Sixth, let's go and see that person, shall we?" Xu Qi pulled the corner of Xu Qing's clothes, Xu Qing lowered his head and asked suspiciously, "What about that?" As a result, Xu Qi pointed his finger in the crowd and told Xu Qing that he was a middle-aged man who looked like a Taoist priest: "The man with a bull's nose on his head." ”
Xu Qi doesn't know what the identity of the scholar is, the straight way is that the hairpin on his head looks like a cow's nose, which is really good, and the source of the old name of the cow's nose seems to be so.
"That's called a Taoist priest, but most of this kind of stall fortune-tellers are fake." Xu Qing likes the purity and inaction of Taoism, and is free from Thailand, and later Taoism is gradually deified and becomes Taoism with religious characteristics, Xu Qing still likes it, this is because of Mr. Jin, Mr. Gu's book.
"I want to go and see ......" Xu Qi didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and dragged Xu Qing with his small body.
"Okay......" Xu Qing was also busy thinking about what kind of economic model to build, so he let Xu Qing pull it.
"This girl, I have calculated that you are coming......" The Taoist priest said mysteriously to Xu Qi, Xu Qi looked at the Taoist priest, and then looked at Xu Qing. Xu Qing tilted his head and didn't speak, Xu Qi didn't speak, and smiled slightly to see the Taoist priest foaming.
"This girl has extraordinary spiritual roots, a rich face, and a noble appearance. If you are not born into a wealthy family, you will marry into a wealthy family. Xu Qi continued to look at the Taoist priest curiously, and Xu Qing continued to return to the sky.
"It's just that you seem to have a catastrophe in your life, and you need the help of a nobleman, and this nobleman...... Benefits, benefits, benefits. The Taoist priest stopped talking, and said that he was beneficial, and this was asking for money.
Xu Qing thought in his heart: "It is said that the reason why this market exists is because the necessities that everyone needs are distributed here, so it is full of practical items, except for some housekeepers who come to visit, people like Xu Qi will not come to ......"
"On the sixth day of junior high school, Niu Bi stopped talking...... Xu Qi pouted.
"That tailor shop seems to have a good way of collecting purses and then selling them to the county seat, and there can be a few more projects. I remember that in the countryside, the idle women would weave mats at home, and it seemed that the answer was relatively simple, so you could give it a try. There are still reservations or something, you can come, those blacksmiths are busy with the market now, and when they don't catch the market tomorrow, they will be idle to go up the mountain to hunt rabbits. Xu Qing didn't pay attention and continued to think.
"The sixth day of junior high school." Xu Qi kicked and stepped on Xu Qing.
"Ah, what are you stepping on me for?" Xu Qing finally noticed Xu Qi and lowered his head to ask her.
"Who told you to ignore me...... Do you still want Sister Xun? Xu Qi complained.
"Oh, what did the Taoist priest say? Say that you are rich and rich, and you will be fated to have a catastrophe? Xu Qing said softly, with a lot of disdain in his tone.
"Huh? This little brother is good, I didn't listen to me just now, and now I say my proverbs, don't you also know how to look? The Taoist priest didn't wait for Xu Qi to speak, and said in surprise.
"Uh-uh......" Xu Qing touched his nose, thinking that this Taoist priest was really speechless, and pulled Xu Qi to leave.
"Huh? Your fate is so strange~ Actually, it's a lifeless appearance! The Taoist chief had words in his mouth, and Xu Qing didn't notice it when he left. The Taoist chief took the gossip in his hand, looked incredulous, and said in his heart: The appearance of lifelessness! There are more than 36,000 faces in the world, and there is a kind of detachment, whose fate is unpredictable, and once this kind of person enters the house, he will have great deeds.
Zhuangzi is one of the two known people who have no fate, and the other is Wang Mang.
The emperor sent me to find someone to save the Tang Dynasty, could it be...... Could it be that I found it in this small mountain village? The Taoist not only admires himself for getting up, but his hexagram is accurate, and it is right to follow the hexagram. Having made up his mind, the Taoist followed Xu Qing and secretly thought: Quietly enter the village, don't shoot!
This Taoist priest is not a charlatan as Xu Qing thinks, but Yuan Tiangang Yuan Zhenren, who is famous in later generations, and it is said that he and Li Chunfeng co-made the "Push Back Map", which is speculated to be two thousand years later, it must be said to be magical!
Xu Qing didn't know about Yuan Daochang, and he didn't know that Yuan Daochang was interested in him. He and Yang Wen carefully discussed the future business, and then talked about the package for sale, such as a shovel for 100 Wen, a two-tooth hoe for 80 Wen, a hoe for 120 Wen, and then 270 Wen can be ordered to order a set, and give a bucket of rice or something.
At first, Yang Wen didn't understand why the price was reduced, but after Xu Qing's dial, he instantly understood the reason for the so-called bundling. Yang Wen also formulated a few packages by himself, Xu Qing approved a few, and then asked Yang Wen to cancel the entrance tax, and Yang Wen did so. There are not many entry taxes, and it is not cost-effective to have two manual guards......
Outside the Xufu Gate:
Yuan Tiangang followed Xu Qing all the way outside the Xu Mansion, and then saw that Menzi also saluted Xu Qing, and he understood that Xu Qing was the owner of the county men's mansion, but there were too many men in the county, and he didn't remember such a person with the surname Xu.
"County man? Last name Xu? Okay, Poor Dao remembered ......"
After a while, Yuan Tiangang set off quickly and returned to Chang'an.
