After Lu Xiufu and the two servants arrived at the Badaohe Customs, they did not first take out the post of Li Tingzhi, the envoy of the Lianghuai system, but entered the customs in the name of visiting relatives and friends. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

They saw many people who looked like vendors, with large bags and small bags on their backs, and they walked with difficulty, until they finally got out of the customs, and immediately called a kind of two-wheeled cart pulled by a person, loaded the big bags and small bags, and followed------ why do you have to work so hard?

Someone told Lu Xiufu that as long as people can carry their own goods, they will not collect taxes from the customs.

Lu Xiufu sighed, people die for money, and birds die for food.

They already brought a few colored gifts, and it was convenient to carry them on the three of them.

After leaving the customs, the three of them found that this was really a big city without walls!

They look east and west, and they always feel uncomfortable looking too far away, and they don't have the sense of security that the thick walls give them.

But it's easy to walk.

They saw that there was also a main road here, like the royal road in Lin'an, which seemed to be paved with mule and horse-style cement, and the road was separated by wooden slats.

Lu Xiufu knows the reason, if this is not the case, he is afraid that the cracks will bulge in the summer------ Lin'an City is also like here, all the roads are paved with cement, and Yangzhou City will soon be there, but the cement issued will be used to strengthen the city wall first.

This main road is twenty zhang wide, and there are large green trees planted on both sides, and countless shops are lined up behind the trees.

They are not in a hurry to visit the shops, but to find a residence first.

Lu Xiufu has life experience, so he will not look for a store in a busy business district------ go to a remote place to find it, it will definitely be cheaper.

However, what they didn't expect was that it was very difficult to find a remote place, more than 20 street corners had been walked, and there were still people everywhere, and in some places it was actually mostly merchants!

Lu Xiufu sighed and said to the two little guys: "There were more people in Yangzhou City than here before, and it was still lively!" ”

The two little guys were sweating profusely and had dry mouths at this time, how long have they been gone!

Suddenly, they heard a cart seller shouting: "Chilled snow sugar black plum and red date soup, sweet and sour!" ”

Well, the three of them swallowed saliva together------ under the shade of a tree on the side of the road, a middle-aged man, wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat, with a yellowed handkerchief around his neck, a shirt with half sleeves, a half-cut pants with bottoms, and straw sandals with shoes, revealing his thick legs and feet.

The clothes are really cloth-saving, and they are very cool------ autumn tiger, and it is really not in vain.

Lu Xiufu felt that he was going to die of heat in a straight shirt!

Buy some soup------ or you won't die of thirst."

The middle-aged man, pulling a two-wheeled cart with a large wooden box on it.

He opened the wooden box, which was covered with a quilt, and when he opened it, he scooped up the soup in a porcelain jar with a wooden stick, poured it into a bamboo tube, and used a bamboo tong to clip a few ice cubes into it.

He quickly filled three cups without spilling half of the soup, and then quickly covered the quilt and buckled the box.

Almost at the same time, the three of them took a big sip of the iced snow sugar black plum and red date soup.

Ah, it's so cold, the sweat on my body seems to have been taken back all at once, and I still feel that my scalp is numb.

It's so delicious! Would you like another drink?

Lu Xiufu smiled and chewed the ice cubes and asked the price.

The middle-aged man pointed to the big characters scribbled in red oil on the side of the box: Ten Wen and a cup.

Lu Xiufu almost swallowed the ice cube directly, God, it's so expensive!

"Do you want to ask for coins?"

"Of course------ this is Liuqiu!"

It's more expensive!

When he was leaving, Li Tingzhi, the envoy of the Lianghuai system, gave him the passage fee, mainly for the flow of coins, which was enough for 200 yuan.

He thought it was too much, and he was going to take some money back, but he didn't expect that after only drinking three cups of soup, it would cost him a lot of more than 100 yuan in bills!

Lu Xiufu stubbornly paid for the coin.

The middle-aged man smiled and asked, "You're new here, aren't you?" Why did you come here from customs? ”

Lu Xiufu said: "Exactly. I'm looking for a quiet and cheap shop. ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Wrong." The quieter and farther away the Di shop is------ there are four-wheeled/large carriages to sit on, where it is not far away, but it is a noisy place where the Di shop is cheaper, but the rooms are smaller. ”

Lu Xiufu couldn't laugh after hearing this.

The three of them turned back and found a mansion in the noisiest place, and chartered a room, which cost 500 wen a day!

It's really a money grab, but this is still the last room------ the owner of the shop pointed to the white paper on the wall and said: "The small one is not a random asking price, this white paper and black words are written in advance, if the price is not known, the patrol will punish the labor!" ”

Lu Xiufu took a serious look, and sure enough, the price was marked in advance, not that he was bullied that he was a foreigner, he couldn't live if he was too expensive------ but he couldn't live it, he was tired of walking, and his clothes were already soaked inside and out.

The words of the owner of the Di shop were really beautiful at this time: "Guest officer, don't hesitate, go to the bathhouse of our store to put on soap, take a cold shower, change into refreshing clothes, and take a good rest."

Our store is already the lowest price. ”

After Lu Xiufu checked in with the two little guys, he went to the bathhouse and saw that there were rows of copper lotus canopies inside, and someone was drenching water under it, looking like he was enjoying it.

The three of them are also stripped naked, everyone is the same, the little guy is still young, where do you mind, hurry up and shower.

The three of them showered happily and changed into their clothes, which was really cool.

The room was on the floor, and the two little guys didn't use a mat, so they just lay down to rest, leaving a bed for Lu Xiufu.

After bathing, the body is cool, and the cool wind blows in from the open window.

However, the noise outside also came in with the wind.

One guy said, "I smell barbecue!" ”

Another guy said, "No, it's a smell!" ”

"And the smell of bread!"

"No, it's the smell of Hu Cake!"

Well, there are also various smells pouring in------

This restaurant doesn't even care about food!

At dinner, the three of them had to go out to eat.

There were far more people at night than during the day, and I don't know where so many people appeared, most of them men in black and blue clothes and trousers, and women in yellow and white dresses.

They don't enter any hotel with a good storefront, it must be expensive, and they just want to find a small food stall on the side of the road.

There are street lights everywhere in this place, regardless of the avenue or path, which is very convenient to walk.

Sure enough, they found a small food stall on the side of a slightly smaller street, and it turned out that they were all gathered here!

There are also a lot of diners, but they all look like outsiders like themselves.

They found a small rice stall with the cheapest price, and the sign read: a bowl of seafood, vegetables, and potato flour for 15 yuan; a bowl of pork, vegetables, and potato flour for 20 yuan; Beef, vegetables, potato flour 30 wen a bowl.

They asked for three bowls of seafood------ and then they made a major discovery, the chickens here were finally cheaper than Yangzhou City!

Tea chicken, five cents for three!

Converting the money of the Great Song Dynasty, it is still cheaper than Yangzhou City------ and they have added another egg.

Lu Xiufu was half-full at this meal, and he felt that the potato flour didn't seem to be very full, except for the delicious and spicy soup, there was really nothing.

But the two little guys were sweating profusely and were very happy.

Lu Xiufu looked up at the series of street lamps in a daze, they seemed to be endless, and he walked for an afternoon without seeing the end.

At this time, the two little guys hadn't finished eating, and there were no new diners at the stalls.

Lu Xiufu asked the stall owner, "Do you know how many streets there are?" ”

The man replied, "Here we call the north-south and the east-west streets." When the little one first came here, there were only a dozen roads and more than 20 streets------ and it has been busy for more than a year, and I really don't know how many there are now. ”

Lu Xiufu thought about it, and from the street he passed through this afternoon, there was more than that. (To be continued.) )
